Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

"I hope it's as you say, and that we don't really lose our lives here." Zhu Gaozai frowned, still feeling lingering fear, unlike Ge Shaoting who was confident. The only reason he was still on the boat was because of Su Zihang and Hu Kan.

In his view, as a smart man, knowing that the road ahead was full of dangers and obstacles, not only did he not avoid them, but he also tried every means to confront them head-on and make things even bigger, which was tantamount to courting death.

Only a fool would do that!

Meanwhile, Chu Xin, considered foolish, was being held at gunpoint by people on the opposite ship, roaring angrily, "You killed our people, you deserve to die!"

Chu Xin held the gun out in her palm for him to see, her face full of sincerity, and said loudly, "Killing was wrong of me. I know why you chased after us. As long as you can make way for us to leave, this gun is an apology. Is that acceptable?"

Upon hearing this, before anyone else on the other boats could speak, the two gangs whose members had died immediately objected, "There's only one gun. We're two opposing sides, how are we supposed to divide it?"

Chu Xin spread her hands, "I originally wanted to break through a path to escape, but who knew that you would be so fearless as to surround me again. This is something I never expected. Now you ask me how to divide it, I'm afraid I can't make a decision either."

Of course, there were still some clever people. He pointed at Chu Xin with an angry look on his face, "Bullshit, I think you did it on purpose!"

"You've misunderstood me. It's normal to miss a little at that distance. Hurry up and decide who to shoot, I'm in a hurry to escape!"

As Chu Xin spoke, she looked back. The Black Shark pirate ship looked quite large up close, and there were even two small-caliber naval cannons mounted on its hull.

This kind of over-the-top firepower configuration is enough to fight a war.

The other bandits followed her gaze and looked through their binoculars, and were immediately terrified.

"Heavens! It's a Black Shark heavy ship! Quick, throw us the guns! We have to get out of here right now!"

"Bullshit! One of our men died too, why should we give it to you? Woman, give me the gun!"

Chu Xin continued to feign a conflicted expression, "Who should I give it to? I'm so conflicted. Why don't you let us leave first, and we'll talk about it later?"

"Yes, yes, we might end up in trouble too, let's go!" The weaker party still had some self-awareness and immediately ordered someone to sail away.

As more and more ships rushed to leave, the scene became somewhat chaotic. This was the moment Chu Xin had been waiting for. She glanced back at the approaching ship, then suddenly raised her gun and aimed at the speedboats that had already traveled some distance, firing shot after shot at their fuel tanks.

"boom--"

"boom--"

The speedboat was immediately thrown into the air, and flames, like tongues of smoke, quickly spread to other nearby vessels.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions shattered the tranquility of the sea. Thick smoke and flames billowed with the waves, affecting more and more ships. The explosions mingled with the terrified screams and curses of the pirates, and the area was thrown into complete chaos.

Those who reacted shouted and fired at Chu Xin, but the ship was rocking too violently from the blast, and people couldn't stand up, so they couldn't hit the agile Chu Xin.

After a few unsuccessful attempts, Chu Xin disappeared completely, and so did everyone else on the deck.

Inside the cockpit, Su Zihang was rapidly steering the ship, which accelerated into the chaotic sea filled with flames and debris. The next moment, Black Shark's ship finally arrived.

It was a giant, jet-black pirate ship, even larger than the small floating town-like vessel that Chu Xin had previously used for transit and rest. The hull and sides were lined with thick iron plates, and it had a four-story househouse on top, with an alarmingly deep waterline.

Because it was so large, it paid no attention to the sporadic explosions on the sea surface. Its engines roared as it cleaved through all obstacles in its path, like a rampaging steel behemoth that shredded everything in its way.
