Chapter 272 - 271: Breakthrough
The sudden appearance of the Black Hawk helicopter, although not causing significant casualties to the Pirates, had greatly boosted the morale of the crew and passengers.
Eddie, like a catfish among the fishes, constantly stirred up trouble among the Pirates’ speedboats, keeping them too busy to attend to anything else.
Meanwhile, Mountain Eagle and his team arrived at the cruise ship’s helipad with the helicopter...
Due to the lack of guidance on the ground and the cruise ship slightly swaying, the Black Hawk pilot dared not descend too low, hovering about 5 meters above the ground was already the limit of this pilot’s bravery. No matter how Mountain Eagle cursed, he refused to descend any further.
Seeing someone from inside the cruise ship’s cockpit rushing out, holding a pistol and suppressing the crew outside who dared not raise their heads, Mountain Eagle cursed under his breath and yelled at the machine gunner Measles: "Measles, suppress the cockpit area.
Stay on the helicopter and let that bastard provide air cover for Eddie at sea."
Upon receiving the order, Measles decisively opened fire, with the trailing light bullets marking a clear trajectory landing a hundred meters above the cockpit.
Then, as the trajectory adjusted, a few guys who had just rushed out of the cockpit were knocked down, and the rest embarrassingly retreated back into the cockpit.
Seeing that Measles’ suppressing fire was effective, Mountain Eagle turned back and dashed to the helicopter cabin, kicked down a bundle of ropes, then hoisted up his tactical pack, slung the M2 shotgun behind him, and then hung the UMP45 on his chest with a single-point sling...
Watching his team, including Killing Bee, nearly ready, Mountain Eagle grabbed the rope before Big Mouth could, shouting loudly, "I’ll go down first, Daria covers..."
"Killing Bee, you and Big Mouth Broadcast cover from both sides, let’s secure the cockpit first..."
