Leng Feng lay by the window, holding the window frame tightly with both hands. His knuckles turned white from the force. His eyes were wide open, with tension and anger in his eyes. His brows were twisted into a knot, as if he wanted to crush the window frame.

He looked at the turbulent sea. The waves rose and fell like hills, constantly crashing into each other, stirring up high white waves. The waves flashed coldly in the sun, as if they were the open fangs of the sea, ready to devour anything that dared to approach.

On the sea surface are various fragments of merchant ships left after being destroyed by pirates. Wooden boards, ropes, broken containers, etc. are violently rising and falling in the waves. As the waves surge, they collide with each other, making a "crackling" sound. The sound is particularly harsh on this empty sea surface. Each sound is like the last cry of the merchant ship, and like the wronged souls of the dead crew members are crying out the injustice and suffering they have suffered.

Some of the wooden boards were still stained with shocking bloodstains, which, soaked in sea water, were stained with patches of light red, like flowers of the other shore blooming on the edge of hell, telling of the cruel and bloody scene that had just taken place here.

The bloodstains gradually spread as washed by the waves, as if even the sea could not wash away the traces of sin, and could only allow it to spread across the sea, becoming a witness to that tragic history.

Leng Feng gritted his teeth, pointed at the debris, his voice trembling slightly with anger: "Look, those pirates are really cruel. They destroyed the merchant ship like this. This is simply a massacre!

How terrified the crew must have been. They were just doing their daily work, but they encountered such an unexpected disaster.

I don’t know what’s happening to the crew members who are still alive. They are trapped on the island and must be hoping that we can rescue them quickly. We must bring them out safely...”

Shi Sanba also came over and looked at the tragic scene with tears in his eyes.

He pounded the cabin wall hard. The muffled "bang" sound echoed in the cabin, but was easily drowned out by the roar of the helicopter.

He cursed, "These bastards are worse than animals! They're willing to kill people just for a few supplies. Have they lost their consciences? When we catch them, we'll chop them into pieces and let them taste the torture and avenge their dead compatriots! I feel like a huge rock is weighing on my heart. I'm so upset. We have to find a way to catch these pirates and never let them get away with it again."

Soon, the helicopter arrived over the island where the pirate base was located.

The pilot was concentrating on controlling the helicopter, with beads of sweat on his forehead. He held the joystick tightly with both hands, not daring to slack off in the slightest. His eyes were fixed on the instrument panel and the island below, and he carefully and slowly lowered the flight altitude.

The fuselage was slightly bumpy under the influence of the airflow, like a leaf swaying in the wind, which could lose balance at any time, which added a bit of tension to the atmosphere.

The team members' hearts were in their throats due to the bumpy ride. They didn't care about these things. They used advanced reconnaissance equipment combined with naked eye observation, concentrating on understanding every aspect of the island as detailed as possible as if they were facing a great enemy.

Long Xiaoyun skillfully operated the reconnaissance equipment while staring at the screen. Her eyes were focused and sharp, as if she wanted to see through the secrets of the entire island through the screen.

She spoke rapidly, "Everyone, pay attention! This island is surrounded by reefs, densely packed, like a hidden underwater forest of death. The reefs vary in shape, some sharp as swords, others massive as behemoths. If a ship approaches carelessly, it will be smashed to pieces by the sharp rocks, making direct landing impossible. Furthermore, the currents in this reef area are complex, with whirlpools one after another, like gaping mouths waiting to sweep everything into endless darkness. We must be extremely vigilant and carefully search for a relatively safe landing spot. This is crucial to our landing. One wrong step could mean a complete loss."

The team members held their breath, staring down without blinking, carefully searching for any possible clues. Everyone's face was filled with solemnity, and the tense atmosphere seemed to make the air in the cabin thinner.

After a while, Banzhuan excitedly shouted, as if he had discovered a new world: "Hey, look, there's a relatively hidden little bay over there. Maybe we can land there! There seem to be fewer reefs around, and there are a few large rocks that can serve as cover, making it difficult for the pirates on the island to spot us immediately. Looking at the terrain, if we take advantage of it, we might be able to catch them off guard."

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, they saw a small bay that seemed to be relatively hidden.

The small bay was half surrounded by several huge reefs. The waves hit the reefs, splashing high white water and making a deafening roar, as if guarding this small landing point.

The water in the bay is relatively calm, but the faint outline of reefs can be seen underneath, indicating that there are still hidden dangers here.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes, observed it carefully, nodded, and said, "Well, I'll make a note of it. However, this may also be a place where pirates focus their defenses. After all, it is one of the few places on the island where we can land. We still need to observe the island's defenses to see if there are any opportunities. We can't just look at the surface advantages, we also have to consider the traps that may be hidden behind them. Those pirates are cunning, and we must not take them lightly."

Looking inside the island, there are many watchtowers standing everywhere. Those watchtowers stand tall in various key locations on the island. The tower bodies are built with rough wood. They look a bit simple, but they exude a chilling and murderous atmosphere.

Some of the wooden boards on the tower have become rotten and are crumbling, as if a strong wind could blow it down. But even on this seemingly dilapidated tower, there stand ferocious pirates.

Holding binoculars and various weapons, they watched the movements around them vigilantly like vicious wolves. Even a seabird flying over the sea would attract their attention. Then they would raise their guns and take aim. The black muzzles of the guns flashed coldly in the sunlight, as if they would spew out deadly flames at any time.

They were dressed in tattered clothes, some with their chests bare, revealing their dark skin covered with tattoos. The tattoos were weird and hideous, like marks brought from hell, showing their cruelty and evil.

There is ferocity and greed in his eyes, and he is always scanning the surroundings. If he finds any suspicious signs, he will probably sound the alarm without hesitation and then launch an attack.

Leng Feng frowned and lowered his voice, saying, "There are quite a few watchtowers here, and they're distributed in a very organized manner, like a tight net covering the entire island. Once we get close, we'll probably be discovered easily. We have to find a way to avoid their sight, otherwise we'll be riddled with enemies before we even land. This is really a tricky problem. We have to figure out how to break through this first line of defense."

In every corner of the island, you can see pirates patrolling back and forth with weapons. They move in groups of three or five, their steps seem casual but alert, and every step they take is fierce, as if this island is their territory and anyone who steps in will be punished most cruelly.

The guns in their hands flashed coldly in the sunlight, and some of them were waving shiny long knives. There seemed to be dried blood on the blades, and it was not known whether it was left from the previous slaughter of livestock or evidence of the murder of innocent crew members.

From time to time they shouted some vulgar words, and the sound echoed in the island, adding to the horror and murderous atmosphere of the island. They looked like evil spirits crawling out of hell.

The entire island is shrouded in a tense and cruel atmosphere, as if it is an isolated island ruled by demons. It is chilling, and every inch of land exudes the breath of death and danger.

Shi Sanba smacked his lips as he watched the scene, muttering softly, "Looking at this situation, it's not easy to rush in and rescue them. This island is full of traps and enemies. We have to be extremely careful. If we're not careful, not only will we fail to rescue our compatriots, but we'll also lose ourselves. Those pirates don't look like good people. They're all murderers. We have to make our plan foolproof."

As for the captured crew members, after observation and speculation, they were suspected to be detained in a simple building in the middle of the island.

The building was made of worn wooden boards and iron sheets, standing crookedly in an open space, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, but it was like an insurmountable cage, imprisoning the freedom and hope of those innocent sailors.

There is also a circle of simple barbed wire surrounding it, with some rags hanging on the wire mesh, fluttering weakly in the wind. It looks shaky, but it also reveals an indescribable sense of confinement.

The barbed wire in some places is still rusty. The dark red rust seems to be the traces left by the blood that once flowed here, telling the cruelty and pain of the past.

However, due to the complex situation on the island and obstructed vision, many places are blocked by dense bushes or natural rock piles, so the specific location needs further confirmation.

Long Xiaoyun adjusted the angle of the reconnaissance equipment, trying to break through the obstructions, and frowned as he said, "The terrain on this island is too difficult for us to observe. The place where the crew members are being held is hidden behind so many obstacles. We have to get closer or try a few different angles to find out the exact location. But if we do that, we will easily be discovered by the pirates. It's really a dilemma."
