Chapter 581: Both Gunfight and Hand-to-Hand Combat
Although the pirates were abundant in number and guns, they were just a mob, untrained and terrible shots at best. Their primary tactic was intimidating others by waving their guns around. But when faced with a professional like Su Hui, whose shooting was both quick and accurate, the difference was clear.
Su Hui took position at the entrance of the cave, using various cargo as her cover, and every time she opened fire, she hit her target.
There were already over a dozen pirates who had been shot and were writhing in pain on the ground. Some were even retreating in agonizing pain. It was clear, despite their regular show of fierceness, they were just using sheer numbers to their advantage. In truth, they were scared to death.
"What’s going on? Why haven’t we stormed in yet?" The pirate leader was frustrated, seeing his men recoil in fear. He angrily kicked one of them.
"Boss, we can’t. That woman’s shooting is too on point." A subordinate hadn’t even finished his sentence before the pirate leader slapped him over turning him onto his side. He then yelled, "What good does her aim do if she runs out of bullets? Get back in there!" But as soon as he turned around, he saw his men backing off another three steps.
At this time, Qiao Ya and Su Lei had arrived, catching sight of their troubling situation. Even they couldn’t have anticipated Su Hui’s skills, her shooting undoubtedly having been honed through professional training.
On the other side, Su Hui had lost count of how many pirates she had shot; all she knew was that it was quite a large number. At the same time, she knew her ammunition was running low. With no other choice, she switched guns with Lu Yi.
All of their hopes were clinging onto Su Hui at this point. However, it seemed like she wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer. What were they going to do afterwards?
Du Jun, Gu Ling, Xu Haowen, Ouyang Jin, the captain and all other crew members had already ventured into the cave in hopes of finding a boat to escape.
