Chapter 285: Chapter 283: A Barrage of Arrows

Kamiao Ocean Beach, Great White Shark Sophia sat on the terrace in front of the Volunteer Police office, watching the cruise ship footage broadcast by the helicopter...

A large number of tourists gathered on the decks of each level, incessantly waving at the helicopter.

On the sea, 5 Thai Coast Guard ships took over the defensive work around the cruise ship, and more than a dozen fully-armed coast guards climbed aboard the vessel via rope ladders, starting to stand guard at the front and back of the ship.

Mountain Eagle put on a cap and used a scarf to cover his mouth and nose, and transferred three dangerous-looking ’bombs’ to the coast guard with a trailer.

When the coast guard confirmed the threat was neutralized, the tourists on the cruise ship let out cheers.

The stifling heat inside the cruise ship no longer seemed to be a bother...

As the rapidly decaying bodies were packed up and thrown into the sea on rubber boats, the cruise ship’s servers set up a shaded area with sun umbrellas on the front and back decks and terraces of all floors, and then hundreds of chefs emerged from the ship, setting up barbecues...

To save electricity, the servers brought out all the expensive food stored on the cruise ship first, and began to provide unlimited barbecue and beverages.

Resident singers and bands worked in three shifts; after all, music must keep playing, and dancing must not stop.

Mountain Eagle didn’t know whether there were any traitors left inside the ship, and at this point, he didn’t care anymore.

People working for state-owned enterprises generally have certain organizational skills, and Mountain Eagle is one of the best.

Simply by grouping people according to room numbers and then attaching numbers to the tourists and cruise ship servers, they could quickly find ’their own people’.

Let the servers take them to eat, drink, have fun, any request that wasn’t too excessive would be met.

In such a disastrous situation, the last thing you want is to let people idle.

Those restless men were asked to help clean up the corpses and soon quieted down.

Let the anxious girls go to the cooling room to help pack those expensive foods that ordinary people dare not afford.

Let the youngsters volunteer themselves and wear red armbands to help with management, and wherever there was a conflict, they were moved there.

Finally, cut all the fresh flowers on the ship to make some ’Little Red Flowers’ for commendation...

Collect 10 flowers and you could exchange for a personal recommendation letter from the captain of the Diamond Queen, collect 20 to receive commendation from the Thailand side.

The person with the most ’Little Red Flowers’ could win a ’Brave Medal’ and would also be interviewed by the TV media.

With ample incentives added along with two ’cooling rooms’ as a ’big stick’, the cruise ship established a new order within just 4 hours.

Honestly, the quality and organization of these island people were not bad; those who caused trouble were dragged into the room by Feiyu to be ’educated’ a bit and would soon pick up a mop and join the labor team of the cruise ship.

The Thai media journalists who landed on the cruise ship by helicopter interviewed one tourist after another in front of the camera...

These young people with large red flowers on their chests all spoke highly of Thailand’s handling, especially admiring Officer Yue Shan for his bravery and decisiveness.

When talking about pirates boarding the ship, they looked worried...

When talking about the Thai Police’s fierce battle against the pirates, they looked full of admiration and worship...

When talking about the cruise ship running aground, they showed their helplessness...

When talking about the current situation, they fully expressed their optimism...

When Thai TV reporters incredulously showed the outside world this ’maritime miracle’, those interviewed young people turned around and found Killing Bee, who was in charge of distributing ’Little Red Flowers’. Each took one and carefully put it away for later exchange for recommendation letters and rewards.

Killing Bee pushed away a young boy who always wanted to get close to her and then waved off several girls with their hands clasped together, begging for a photo with Boss Eagle...

She turned her head to look at Mountain Eagle, who was being interviewed with his face covered, incredulously shook her head, and then gave her boss the middle finger...

Killing Bee had no idea how this guy’s brain worked.

He easily mobilized more than four thousand people...

Five rooms formed a group, each paired with two staff members.

Mountain Eagle provided each staff member with a radio, then found a few islander old men with loud voices and suspected thyrotoxicosis who could swear without repeating, to act as operators...

Following his directive, they managed to mobilize everyone with swear words mixed into commands.

You wouldn’t believe it, but during such a critical period, command-like swear words really had a calming effect.

Several French chefs, struggling at the unwieldy barbecue stand, got scolded until they cried, grown men wiping tears while flipping the barbecue in front of them, still having to say "Thank you for tasting" when someone came to get food.

Some crew members who were slightly negligent in their work got sworn at so much that they’d rather jump off the ship and hide in a corner, crying—this was normal.

Anyone slightly resentful would be approached by several armed guards, and those who caused too much fuss would be accidentally injured and then given a brush to go clean the toilets.

The sadder the cruise staff looked, the more stable the emotions of the tourists.

Killing Bee couldn’t understand how Mountain Eagle’s brain worked, but she knew that he would definitely reap a massive reward this time, because the eyes of the female reporter interviewing him were almost watering.

"This is a victory for everyone!

Upon discovering the incident with the Diamond Queen, the leadership of the Thai Police Team paid great attention and arranged for the Khaomai Sea Police to take proactive measures for escorting protection along the way. It is this that made the pirates besieging the cruise ship flee at the sight of us.

Although we were one step behind due to objective reasons such as delayed intelligence, although we did not manage to capture all the pirates in order to protect the cruise ship, the outcome is good.

We killed nearly 80 pirates and simultaneously killed and captured nearly 20 terrorists lurking on the ship.

Successfully dismantling a marine terrorist operation is a small step for us police officers, but it is a giant leap for the Thai Police Team in challenging ocean safety.

Here, I want to thank the police leadership for their support and trust in us during the mission, and I also want to thank these lovely tourists for their cooperation.

Disasters come without warning, but we can join forces to overcome difficulties."

Far away in Kamui, Great White Shark Sophia watched Mountain Eagle on TV, using polished—even greasy—official rhetoric to take all the credit for the Thai Police themselves. She glanced at Chief Kadite from the Tourism Police Station beside her and said: "Sir, it’s time for us to take action...

It’s only 110 kilometers from Ao Nan to the scene of the incident. We have to head out before the Phuket side starts the rescue.

As long as we can ’snatch’ those tourists to Kamui, this place will be the focus for a long time."

Chief Kadite, looking at the relaxed-looking Lady, hesitated before saying: "Do we really need to mobilize those smuggling ships too?"

Sophia nodded slightly and said: "Of course, unless they don’t want to follow our boss’s orders...

This is their best opportunity to show their stance. If they miss this chance, it won’t be so easy for them to make money from smuggling in the future."

Chief Kadite, looking at the smiling Sophia, didn’t know why, but suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Outsiders didn’t know, but as the local powerhouse of Kamui, Chief Kadite knew very well that the parachuted Volunteer Police Chief Yue Shan, although not in Kamui, always had his men in action.

Over the past month, Chris Jon had been lobbying at all the major gas stations around Kamui.

Since smuggling was halted, and going out to sea was affected, the business of the gas stations also declined.

Under such circumstances, Chris Jon took over a gas station at the lowest cost, but a week ago, the pace of gas station acquisitions accelerated.

Chris Jon started a forceful acquisition campaign at a rate of two gas stations per day!

Three days ago, this woman Sophia arrived in Kamui. In two days, she befriended high officials of the local Kamui police force, and last night, six gas station owners in Kamui signed their names on the acquisition agreement.

Chief Kadite didn’t know what this specifically meant, but he could sense that after Princess Tessa released a hint, the smugglers of the entire Kamui and even the entire West Coast of Thailand started becoming restless.

Watching Mr. Poincaré sitting in the police station lobby reading a newspaper, Luo Yang and Marta energetically rushing to the beach, signaling the prepared fishermen and pleasure boats to set off...

Chief Kadite respectfully nodded at Sophia and said: "I will inform the shipowners I know..."

Sophia watched as Chief Kadite still seemed to be holding back a bit when he spoke. Nonchalantly, she waved her hand saying: "It’s up to you, but I guess they have all set off by now..."

With that, Sophia stood up, picked up the radio, and said to Luo Yang on the nearby beach: "Tell them to check the spare fuel and set off quickly..."

Luo Yang excitedly plunged into the sea, ran through knee-deep water, then leaped onto Mountain Eagle’s speedboat, and after firmly pulling Marta onto the boat, he rushed into the cockpit, turned on the siren, picked up the radio, and called out on the public channel: "Depart, depart..."

Following a series of responding horn blasts, from the sky looking down, the lengthy Ao Nan Beach appeared as if a thousand arrows were being unleashed...

All the passenger-capable boats in Kamui were mobilized...

Pleasure boats, capsized boats, and even the lighter speedboats and fishing boats all got moving, converging in the same direction.

While actions were being taken at Ao Nan Beach, a large fleet of smuggling boats that had gone deep into the ocean earlier began moving.

When the fleet set off, a large number of tourists from around the world stood on Ao Nan Beach, holding cameras to record this touching moment.

Apart from those fleets, to welcome the cruise tourists who were about to be rescued ashore, most restaurants and hotels around Ao Nan Beach were mobilized.

The entire Ao Nan came to a temporary halt for those tourists...

While everyone was moved by the actions of Kamui at this moment, Mr. Poincaré, wearing glasses, occasionally directed Chris Jon beside him, instructing him to tally the merchants, workforce, and transport capacity of Ao Nan Beach...

The old accountant, following the demands of Mountain Eagle and referencing European standards, drafted an outrageous super bill, ready to send to the cruise company once the tourists landed...

Compared to Kamui’s proactivity, Tessa stood on the Phuket docks, looking at the messy scene...

She angrily stormed into the temporary command center causing a bit more chaos, then with great indignation, she left and boarded a helicopter...

So thrilling!

For those tourists defined by Mountain Eagle as ’strategic materials’, Tessa went all out, leaving the son of the Minister of Transport, Kadite, at the scene to create confusion, demanding that he firmly hold back the rescue fleet from the Phuket side.

As for herself, Tessa was going to fly over and meet with Mountain Eagle, then head to Kamui before taking a plane to Pattaya.

Mountain Eagle was committed to tearing those terrorists to pieces, and Tessa felt she had to help him, even if she couldn’t join him in battle, supporting him with a few more ammunition clips was good too!

The Thai Police Team had never felt so exhilarated!"
