Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 270 - 269: 15 Minutes!

Chapter 270: Chapter 269: 15 Minutes!

Mountain Eagle and his team smoothly took off in the Black Hawk helicopter...

The straight-line distance from their parachuting center to the position of Diamond Queen shown on the GPS was nearly 500 kilometers.

Tessa was left on Phuket, and she would use her identity advantage to help coordinate various issues while keeping an eye on the position of the Diamond Queen.

During the flight, Mountain Eagle took out various night combat equipment mixed with the arms...

Monocular low-light night vision device, small radio communicator, noise-reducing audio pickup headphones, bullet-proof plates, small identification badges...

He distributed these items to everyone, watching their surprised expressions, Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "These are gifts from me, an old friend of yours. If things really get rough, you’ll have to put in some effort."

Assault man Big Mouth, fondly playing with a holographic sight, admired the clear image in the sight and gave Mountain Eagle a thumbs up, saying, "Mountain Eagle, you are a true friend. This piece of gear is clearly not cheap."

Mountain Eagle casually waved his hand and said: "We are all friends here. You coming to join me in battle is a show of trust, so obviously I can’t let you down.

These are just small things. Quickly get used to the night vision and the radio, and the identification badges...

I don’t know what situations we will face, but we can be prepared.

We are few in number, and if we need to board the cruise ship for combat, the first thing we have to do is cut off the yacht’s power supply."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle noted the serious expressions of his team members, he chuckled and added: "Of course, that’s the worst-case scenario.

Perhaps by the time I fly over there, I’ll spot those pirates on the sea and then Killing Bee can directly greet them with his machine gun."

Killing Bee, fiddling with his UMP45 submachine gun, shook his head and said, "Don’t oversimplify things. Hijacking a cruise ship with just the people from the sea cannot work.

Their small boats won’t be able to stop the cruise ship; they might even have trouble boarding.

If they really plan to hijack the cruise ship, they will definitely arrange for accomplices on board."

Big Mouth attached the holographic sight to the same model UMP45, aimed a few times with the gun, then grinningly said, "What’s the use of thinking so much? Let’s go and see, what if we arrive before the pirates do?"

Speaking, Big Mouth took out the magazine of the UMP45 to check and laughingly said, "This gun is really good. I used to be in the special forces myself, why haven’t I seen this kind of gun in the military?"

Mountain Eagle opened a bag filled with .45ACP bullet magazines and said, "Our enemies this time are pirates; they surely can’t be wearing heavy bullet-proof vests to rob ships.

The stopping power of .45 subsonic bullets is better than 9mm bullets, plus the use of silencers works great.

You can take as many bullets as you want, but personally, I’d recommend using the UMP45 as a secondary weapon."

Sitting opposite Mountain Eagle, Sharpshooter Eddie gestured for Mountain Eagle to stop rambling, pulled out his revolver from his waistband, spun it, then winked at Daria sitting beside him before saying to Mountain Eagle, "Kid, everyone here is more experienced in military years than you, they know how to pair up weapons."

As Eddie spoke, he looked at the boxes and big bags filled with weapons on the floor, smacking his lips and said, "Though it’s not our money, as mercenaries, we need to develop the habit of saving."

Mountain Eagle flipped off Eddie...

Seriously, when it comes to combat, all those present combined don’t have as much experience as he has in games, but that’s something he could never say because no one would believe it.

Eddie, seemingly not noticing Mountain Eagle’s middle finger, turned to always straightforward Daria extending his hand, saying, "Hello, my name is Eddie, a hardy old mercenary, and also Mountain Eagle’s distant cousin..."

Daria, seeing Mountain Eagle’s middle finger turn into two, chuckled softly and said, "Okay, cousin Eddie, how’s your wife doing?"

Eddie paused for a moment, inadvertently looking back at Daria, then turned to Mountain Eagle disgruntledly and said, "Kid, betraying a buddy is not a good habit. If you think I’m competing with you for a woman, you can just tell me straight..."

Mountain Eagle spread his hands helplessly and said: "I’m damn busy, where do I have the time to talk about your rich wife?

Brother, you are grown-up, can we keep it calm?

Are you here to help, or to make trouble?"

Eddie, frowning while looking into Mountain Eagle’s eyes, nodded after a few seconds and then turned back to Daria, saying, "I don’t know how you recognized me, but if you really know me, then you should be aware that I am a loving person.

Plus, I have a good character and am still in great shape; importantly, I and my wife have a high credit limit on our joint credit card."

As he spoke, Eddie, seeing Daria’s skeptical expression, raised three fingers and said, "I swear on Mountain Eagle’s conscience, I am telling the truth..."

Mountain Eagle grabbed Eddie’s hand and pushed it down, helplessly saying, "Spare my conscience, I still need it.

If you want to help, try to be a little quieter..."

Eddie glared at Mountain Eagle who had interrupted his flirting multiple times, and said grumpily, "You think I wanted to come?

Mr. Poincaré, that old guy was worried you couldn’t handle it, so I came."

Speaking, Eddie looked at Mountain Eagle’s unconvinced expression, shaking his head and said, "Diamond Queen’s insurance was purchased from Ansheng Group. If they don’t cooperate, I can put pressure on them through AXA Group and to a certain extent influence the decisions of the cruise management.

Kid, fighting isn’t just about brute force, you need strategy..."

After Eddie finished talking, he gave up on Daria and turned to Killing Bee, saying: "Killing Bee, I heard your bar got some new girls. After the mission, let’s go there to celebrate."

Killing Bee shrugged indifferently and replied: "As long as your pockets are deep enough, you can get anything..."

Then, Killing Bee glanced at Daria’s technology-enhanced and tough-looking chest and said with a smile: "Hey, girl, my place is quite lively, you’re welcome to hang out there."

Daria really didn’t understand why Mountain Eagle, a man who had stirred up billions in business, would get involved in this matter, but her duty was to follow Mountain Eagle...

Sticking with this boss was her job, and adapting to the people around him was also part of her job.

Faced with Killing Bee’s invitation, Daria glanced at Mountain Eagle and then spoke with a slightly aggrieved tone, "If our boss could avoid risks in the future, I definitely would have time to visit your place for some fun."

As she spoke, Daria picked up a Glock 17 and tucked it into her holster. After hesitating for a moment, she opened her tactical bag, grabbed several Offensive Hand Grenades and Smoke Bombs, and stuffed them in along with several 30-round magazines for her UMP45.

After sorting it out, Daria weighed her tactical backpack, picked up a waist belt pouch filled with number 12 deer bullets, and hung it on her waist belt. Then she looked at Mountain Eagle with a smile and said, "Boss, I can’t carry too much stuff; I can only help carry a few bullets for you."

Watching Eddie’s whiskers quiver with annoyance from Daria’s coquettish demeanor, Mountain Eagle sighed, picked up a Benelli M4 shotgun that Killing Bee and their team from Kamui had brought for him, and mounted it on his backpack. Then he fixed two quick-draw shotgun shell carriers to the right side of his waist belt.

After adjusting to make sure it wouldn’t hinder drawing the pistol from his thigh, Mountain Eagle picked up a UMP45 to inspect it briefly, then stuffed six magazines side by side into the magazine pouches at the front of his chest.

Honestly, Mountain Eagle didn’t really like UMP submachine guns because of their low power and short range. However, considering the potential combat environment, along with the advantages in terms of silence, rate of fire, magazine capacity, and load carrying, he still chose to bring it along.

Additionally, he also prepared a VSS and a base number of ammunition packed in a large bag. If he could board the ship successfully, he would bring the VSS on board to defend against Pirate attacks.

Killing Bee made a similar choice to Mountain Eagle, but her secondary weapon was a Benelli M4 shotgun. She also packed her AK74U and ammunition in a bag, ready to bring them aboard the ship depending on the situation.

The machine gunner, Measles, gave up his PKM for a Mini Mi Machine Gun...

The Bomber Broadcast, having similar eccentricities with Eddie, appeared unreliable but chose the UMP45 as his main weapon and positioned himself as a secondary shooter for Measles.

Broadcast not only carried two hundred rounds of ammunition for Measles but also a spare gun barrel for him.

Sharpshooter Eddie used his own HK416, with a secondary armament consisting of an M9 and a revolver that almost fired upon touch.

Aside from Eddie, whether the others would admit it or not, they were all influenced by Mountain Eagle...

Despite their carefree appearances, the two base numbers of ammunition they carried showed a different story internally.

Especially Daria!

This girl had faced life and death situations with Mountain Eagle in Moscow, and her sister Yuliy had suffered a leg injury in an ambush.

People on the battlefield are a bit superstitious!

Daria was well aware of what Mountain Eagle had done in Moscow and knew the style of her boss. She naturally chose to follow Mountain Eagle’s habits because this boss was always winning.

Eddie watched as the others clearly got influenced by the rhythm set by Mountain Eagle, the old gun slightly shook his head, then nodded, and finally, he remained silent...

Now Mountain Eagle was making the decisions!

For a person to unconsciously match his teammates to his rhythm through his own speech and actions without explicitly interfering, was an incredible ability!

Just as Eddie wanted to say something to help everyone relax, Mountain Eagle suddenly had his radio buzz...

Raising his hand to make everyone stay quiet, Mountain Eagle put on the headphones and said: "This is Mountain Eagle..."

On the other end, Tessa spoke with an anxious tone: "The Diamond Queen has sent out a distress signal; their first officer took a few crew members and allowed the Pirates onto the ship, and they also took control of the cockpit...

The cruise ship’s security, on alert, has held their position at the passage leading to the passenger cabins while blocking the first officer’s team inside the cockpit.

Now the Pirates are stuck on the first deck, but they don’t have enough weapons and ammunition to hold out for long."

As she continued, Tessa hesitated a bit and then added: "I’m worried they might shut down the cruise ship’s automatic identification system and satellite positioning, making it hard to locate them at night in the sea if we don’t find them in time."

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle stood up and rushed to the rear of the Black Hawk helicopter pilot and loudly commanded: "Speed up, speed up..."

After speaking, Mountain Eagle clutched the radio and asked: "Tessa, how far is your cousin from the cruise ship?"

Tessa replied, "120 nautical miles, they need at least two and half hours to catch up with the cruise ship.

Mountain, we can’t let them break into the cabin and take hostages; otherwise, it’s all over..."

Mountain Eagle loudly inquired how much longer they needed from the Black Hawk helicopter pilot. After getting the answer, he turned around to signal everyone to secure the items on the ground and then forcefully pulled open the two doors of the cabin...

He signaled the machine gunner Measles to secure his PKM on the mount, then Mountain Eagle indicated everyone to turn on their radios and loudly declared: "15 minutes!

The enemies are blocked on the first deck, we will descend from the top of the cruise ship...

Measles and Eddie will stay on the helicopter for cover fire to delay the Pirate’s advance as much as possible..."
