Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 686: 410, The treasure under the sea, the gunshot on the ship_3

After Chilton had finished teaching them how to use the guns, the seven returned to the cabin.

“Why do we have to give these bumpkins the guns? And why did you give mine to that filthy kid instead of Sela’s? How am I supposed to use it after he’s done?” Yesenia complained.

Chilton glanced at her, thinking to himself that it was precisely to guard against the moment you decide to betray us with a gun on you.

Still, he explained, “Didn’t you see I gave them my gun as well? This is to have them hold guns and draw fire when we exchange shots with Capri. In the midst of the chaos, I’ll shout to open fire, then everyone should first find a place to hide. Let those two draw the first round of shooting, and then we’ll open fire. I’m going to break open the wooden crate in the cargo hold later; there’s an automatic rifle hidden there, which is the real weapon we’ve been saving to take down Capri.”

Out at sea, with distances often stretching hundreds of meters, and with the sea wind so strong, handguns are practically useless.

So, Chilton planned to have Qing Chen and Zhang Jian make a show, then use the automatic rifle to end the battle.

The automatic rifle might not be effective either, but this was their only remaining option: to create chaos, kill the captain, then force Old John, the sailor, to sail away.

That was Chilton’s ruthless plan.

It seemed to be as perfect as possible.

Chilton turned to Yesenia, “If you find the Gold Coin, tell Capri right away. Don’t try to hide it.”

Yesenia was taken aback, “Why?”

Chilton said, “Because we want to trick some of them into diving for it, which reduces their guard. Area A4 isn’t deep, Ordinary People can dive in suits, and they’ll surely want to see the underwater treasure themselves. That way, you can kill some of them underwater, and I’ll take care of some on the ship.”

“I see,” Yesenia’s eyes lit up. “I’ll coax as many as I can to go down, and then finish them off in the water while you seize the moment on the ship.”

“Right, that’s the plan!” Chilton nodded with satisfaction.

At that moment, Old John’s voice came from outside, “We have reached the coordinates, we should anchor now.”

Upon hearing this, Chilton panicked and hurried to Old John to whisper urgently, “Don’t anchor!”

How could they escape if they were anchored?

Overhead, in the Greenland waters, the clouds had thickened. Zhang Jian looked up at the sky and muttered, “The storm is coming sooner than expected!”

The Radiant Trumpet yacht and the Detroit cargo ship saw the Penguin Ship slowing down, and Capri also stepped onto the yacht’s deck.

From a distance, the Black man, clad in a bathrobe with its collar open, bare-chested without any semblance of cold, stood on the deck.

With dense dreadlocks on his head and sunglasses on, Capri laughed across the sea, “Is it here that we dive to search?”

Chilton nodded, and everyone around him was nervous, bracing for the battle to start at any moment.

Yesenia dove into the sea unexpectedly, and to everyone’s surprise, twelve divers from the cargo ship followed suit, armed with spear guns and underwater propulsion devices, jumping in together.

Capri and his men had made a double preparation, intending to search for the treasure while Yesenia searched.

The speed of the fish guns wasn’t much slower than Yesenia’s, and if she were to act underwater, it could mean her death in the sea.

Though she could blend into the sea water, practically liquefying her body, a direct hit by a spear gun in a vital spot could kill her nonetheless.

Chilton glanced at the sea surface.

Within less than half an hour, Yesenia resurfaced, triumphantly holding up a Gold Coin shouting, “The shipwreck is not in A7, it’s in A4! In a ravine; the previous treasure hunters missed it!”

Everyone’s eyes brightened up, and Capri signaled his men behind him. Some people on the yacht started putting on diving suits and dove into the sea one after another.

Capri returned to the cabin to shower the ladies with money, waiting for good news from the seabed.

On the deck, only twelve heavily armed security personnel stood guard, their cold eyes fixed on the sea surface and the ‘Penguin Ship’.

Chilton got his hands on the automatic rifle hidden behind the deck’s crab cages. Sela anxiously said, “Acting now could get Yesenia killed; she can’t beat that many people underwater.”

But he heard Chilton viciously whisper, “What does it matter to us whether she can beat them? Didn’t you hear what she said earlier? She’s been planning to betray us all along! Get out of the way, arm yourself well, and once those two bumpkins draw the fire, we open up! Sela, you take control of that Old John, and when he hears my command, he sails away!”

With that, everything was ready.

The color of the sky over the sea turned increasingly dark, as if a black Country of God was pressing down from the heavens, with the Wild Wind howling like the roar of the old gods.

The waves grew higher and higher.

He glanced once more over at the Radiant Trumpet yacht a hundred meters away, then suddenly shouted to Zhang Jian and Qing Chen, “Open fire, now!”

But after he shouted, he immediately ducked behind the crab cages, using them as cover.

Just as he expected, a flurry of gunfire rang out, and those two bumpkins had truly been fooled.

“Take action!” Chilton roared.

However, as he emerged from behind the crab cages, he suddenly froze.

Under the Black curtain, the Radiant Trumpet was still shining.

But those who were supposed to be standing on the deck, the armed security personnel, had all lain down…

In Chilton’s gaze, the boy at the bow turned to look back at him, his grin revealing teeth that were unnervingly white.

Despite nearly 30 knots of wind and a distance of 170 meters, a total of 12 shots were fired, killing 12 people.

Only then did Chilton realize something was amiss.

He had only heard the sound of gunfire from nearby, but never the sound of gunfire from the Radiant Trumpet, nor the sound of bullets hitting the Penguin Ship.
