A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 387 Robbery

Wen Shao smiled slightly and said, "No, no, we have something to do. Let's do it another day!"

"Oh, I see! Well..."

Just then, the music in the dance hall abruptly stopped, followed by a cacophony of shouts.

"Don't move, it's robbery!"

Suddenly, a group of masked men armed with guns stormed into the dance hall from all directions, shouting loudly, and within moments they had surrounded the entire dance hall.

What?

Robbery?

Am I right?

"What's going on?" Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at the masked men with guns.

Zhang Xiuli exclaimed excitedly, "Holy crap! Is this the real deal? Is this a movie shoot?"

Tang Qianqian frowned and said, "I feel like they're serious."

Lily frowned slightly, then said seriously, "Everyone be careful. That person is also a cultivator. No one is allowed to act rashly unless absolutely necessary."

"He's just at the early stage of the Profound Realm, what's there to be afraid of? I can crush him with a flick of my finger," Li Wei said.

"Better safe than sorry. Let's assess the situation first and then act without taking any rash actions."

The huge ballroom suddenly fell silent. No one knew what had happened. You see, as the largest and most luxurious merchant ship in HX, and this was the maiden voyage of the Chengfeng, the Chengfeng's command center was tracking and directing it 24 hours a day via satellite positioning. No mistakes, not even the slightest, were allowed to occur on the Chengfeng or on board. In addition, it was said that there were several hundred professional security guards on board the Chengfeng.

Therefore, trying to rob someone here is tantamount to courting death.

So, the man standing in front of the platform assumed this was some kind of special program at the ball, and said loudly, "Hey, what's this program now? Why are they even bringing toy guns..."

"Thumbs up!"

The platform, about a meter high, was located directly in front of the ballroom. Several masked men, also armed, stood on it. However, the man in the center looked somewhat different. He wore distinctive clothing with a sun symbol embroidered on the chest; he was the cultivator known as Lily Finger. Before the man below could finish speaking, the man pointed his gun at him and pulled the trigger, the muzzle immediately spitting out a long stream of fire.

Huh? How come a toy gun can breathe fire? Even the sound it makes...

Many people rushed to look at the man who had been shot. Upon seeing him, the surrounding crowd erupted in screams and cries, scattering in all directions. The man, covered in blood, collapsed and died instantly.

"Thumbs up!"

Another burst of gunfire rang out; it was the man on the stage who fired several shots at the ceiling. Many people immediately covered their heads with their hands and crouched on the ground in fear, their faces ashen and their bodies trembling. The cultivator on the stage picked up the microphone in front of him and said bluntly into it, "Everyone, if you don't want to die, then please be quiet."

This worked, and the huge ballroom fell silent once again.

The cultivator coughed and continued, "Everyone, I have some good news for you. We're here to rob you! If anyone doesn't want to die, they'd better cooperate obediently, or my gun might accidentally go off again."

"Damn! It really is a gang of robbers! Sister Lily, give the order quickly!" Li Wei urged.

Lily raised an eyebrow and said, "Wait a little longer."

The audience below was terrified. They squatted on the ground, covering their heads with their hands, not daring to look up at the stage.

After finishing speaking, the cultivator took out a folded piece of white paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and continued, "I have a list here with the names of some of you on it. When I call out a name, that person will stand here. If anyone is unwilling, then I'm sorry, that's what will happen to them!"

As he spoke, the cultivator pointed his gun at the already dead man on the stage.

The hijacking of the Wind Chaser caused an uproar throughout HX, with media outlets from all over the country reporting on it!

As the command center of the Chengfeng, it reacted immediately, contacted the HX military, and took immediate action. However, to their shock and surprise, the entire Chengfeng was controlled by thousands of hijackers, and the initiative was completely in the hands of the hijackers. In other words, everyone on the Chengfeng was under the control of the hijackers.

"Quickly, activate the ship's emergency rescue measures!" The commander in the command center panicked as soon as the footage of the hijackers was exposed.

However, the answers from his subordinates truly chilled him to the bone.

"Boss, something bad has happened. The ship's communication equipment has been destroyed, and emergency rescue measures cannot be activated."

"Boss, all the robots on the ship are out of order."

"Boss, we've lost contact with the people on board."

"Boss, something bad has happened! The Wind Chaser has started heading into international waters."

"Boss, look! There are many unidentified flying objects around the Wind Chaser."

The head of the command center was shocked. Upon inspection, he saw many unidentified small flying objects around the Wind Chaser. He immediately recognized these small flying objects as surveillance cameras used by the hijackers to monitor every corner of the Wind Chaser.

It seems this was a premeditated robbery targeting the Wind Chaser; otherwise, the Wind Chaser wouldn't have been completely taken over by the robbers. Panic erupted in the command center. The leader roared angrily, "Can anyone tell me why this happened? Why didn't anyone notify us immediately? The Wind Chaser's route is classified; how did they know it? And how did these people infiltrate?"

A barrage of angry questions left the technical staff in the command center speechless. The boss knew this, and after asking the questions, he quickly regained his composure. He knew that as the head of the Chengfeng's command center, he couldn't afford to lose his composure at this critical moment. After a moment of frowning, he decisively said, "Xiao Wang, contact the police immediately and tell them everything that's happening on the Chengfeng; Xiao Zhang, report this to the boss, saying we've already called the police; Xiao Liu, immediately activate the second communication system on the Chengfeng and monitor its every move. Report to me immediately if anything happens."
