Chapter 323: Slaughter.
Hao Ren climbed the anchor chain and appeared on the bow of the Pearl Of Blue. He pressed his earpiece and took out his sub-machine gun. He shook it a little to clear all the water inside the barrel, and then took off the magazine to fire it a few times. After making sure that everything was fine, he looked up from behind the anchor housing, and located four people on the first deck.
He did not know where Han Lingshi might be kept in this huge place, so he decided to kill the small fries, and then handle the big guys, before asking the guards to release her. They will not harm her, and since he was alone they will not stop until they have killed him. His number will make them underestimate him.
Hao Ren found a man coming closer and he crouched down, took out his knife and waited, the man came close, and just when he turned around to walk away, Hao Ren got up, flicked his knife, and it lodged directly in the back of the neck.
The guard was still gagging, when Hao Ren approached him quickly and took out the knife to stab him four times in heart, lung, and spine, before slashing the neck. All vital injuries, and the quick assurance of a silent death.
Hao Ren moved around killing people as if he was a tiger and these were rabbits. His speed was quick, so much so that Stephanie and Mal, who were watching the situation on a tablet, were shocked. Just with a knife Hao Ren took down ten people on the first deck. There was no monitoring inside the decks, but after a few minutes, Hao Ren appeared on the second deck and began to kill again.
He was not going to spare anyone at all. Mal suddenly heard a boat approaching and he said, "The patrol is here."
Stephanie nodded and took a deep breath as they began to deal with the security.
...
Viktor was fuming inside the security room. Just a few minutes before Hao Ren had climbed up, he smashed the monitors in a fit of rage. He reduced the entire room, to the state where it looked like a trash dump, because on the screen of the cameras that were located inside the gym, he found that the girl had barricaded the door, and smashed the cameras.
There was only one camera that could not see her at all. He had no idea what to do. The people tried to break through the door, but while one of them was shot in the head from inside the room, the others could not budge the door.
Your next chapter awaits on empire
They found that Han Lingshi had reinforced it with the dumbbell weighting plates and furniture.
Viktor yelled, "Bitch! Fucking Whore!"
None of the men dared to approach him at the moment.
...
Hao Ren cleared one deck after the other, if he came across a big shot, he would shoot the guy in his shoulder, and then knock them out, before tying them up. After an hour, he reached the Gym, where he found four people trying to break open the door, when he heard one of them saying, "This bitch sure is strong, she managed to kill people, now Viktor will definitely fuck her up."
Hao Ren took a deep breath, he raised his handgun, took off the suppressor, and walked inside the corridor. The men spotted him but before they could react or process, the young man raised his gun and fired four times.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Then the entire place fell silent. Hao Ren walked over to the door, kicked the corpses away, and knocked on the door as he said, "Lingshi, are you there? It is me, Hao Ren."
There was a circular glass opening on the door, which had been broken by these people. Hao Ren could sense someone breathing inside the room, and said, "Did you like the fish we caught during the summer camp?"
The breathing picked up pace, and just when Han Lingshi was about to approach him an alarm rang out through the cruise. Hao Ren said, "Well, you have to hurry up, or they will send a lot of people."
As soon as he said that, he found, a tattered Han Lingshi looking at him through the door with a gun in her hand. He smiled and said, "Really, gonna shoot your savior? Who will marry you if this got out?"
Han Lingshi blushed a little as she tried to hold back her tears and hurriedly opened the door. She flung herself in his arms and Hao Ren held her with one hand and gently coaxed her, "It's alright. I am here."
He raised his right hand and fired as soon as a figure appeared at the far end of the corridor. Bang!
The bullet ricocheted after hitting the wall, and the deflection caused it to hit the target that hid behind the corner cover.
Han Lingshi woke up, and realizing the mess she was in, she hurried, "What are you doing here? Hao Ren, are you crazy? Why did you come here? Wait, what the hell are you?"
Hao Ren smiled bitterly, and said, "I came here to save you, as for what I am, can we discuss that latter?"
That said, he noticed the bruise on her forearms and the dirty uniform. He looked inside the room, and three corpses. He found some blood stains on her clothes and said, "When I say move, you move, when I stay hold to stop. Got it?"
Han Lingshi nodded, and Hao Ren walked ahead of her, with a submachine gun ready to kill the enemy ahead.
Every few steps they took, Hao Ren killed enemies, he was accurate, and his pace was quick. Many people tried to attack him from the back, but he did not stop at all, he killed them all. The big officers who were commanding the rest were knocked out, and shot once in the leg or the shoulder.
The mercenaries that terrorized the world became rats before Hao Ren. He left nothing but death in his wake, and on the top floor, Viktor shivered in a mix of rage and fear. He was not some super entity. He was a normal soldier in the past who made some connections and then he set up this group. The only thing about him that maintained him in the top was cruelty. He would kill people even if they dared to raise their heads before him, and he praised those who did his bidding.
However, it was the element of surprise that allowed his people to kidnap Han Lingshi. He tried to run to the helicopter, but by that time, it was too late. Hao Ren saw him stepping on the footpad of the helicopter, and he shot Viktor in the leg.
Hao Ren walked over, and shot the man in both his arms and the other leg as well, before he said, "You put up such an anti-climatic ending to this battle. I am disappointed and now, you will suffer even more."
