Chapter 113 Baka

Why did they have the guts to attack The Ark?

It is simple.

Because The Ark looked so easy to bully...

Its design was sci-fi, looking more like a submarine, with all weapon systems covered by metal plates. Only when entering combat mode would the plates open up to reveal the weapon systems inside.

Therefore, it looked like it had almost no offensive capability, so of course it was easy to bully!

They had thought they were just following Zhao Jun to pick up some scraps, and maybe catch a ride on a ship to escape these waters.

Now they realized that this ship was truly fucking devious!

Other people would do anything to display all their weapon systems on their ships just to create a deterrent!

This ship actually hid all its weapon systems?

Who are you planning to trap?

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"We were just muddle-headed for a moment, please spare our lives, sir!"

"It's all Zhao Jun's fault! He insisted that you were a foreign ship!"

"Wuwuwu... I don't want to die! Uncle!"

The crowd knelt on the ship, loudly begging for mercy from The Ark while kowtowing vigorously.

They weren't stupid; they knew that with the weaponry The Ark had displayed, there was no way they could escape...

It was better to just admit defeat and see if the principle of "the law doesn't punish the masses" still worked!

Clearly, begging for mercy was completely useless against the AI...

The laser weapons on both sides of the bridge were activated.

This was also the first time Li Meng had seen what laser weapons looked like when they fired...

Li Meng looked disappointed: "So there aren't any colored beams of light flying out... You can't see anything!"

When laser weapons fire, there are no visible "special effects"!

The laser emitters on both sides spun wildly, precisely targeting everyone on the water marked as "pirates." Every time someone was hit by a laser weapon, you could only see the figures on the ship disappearing into thin air one by one, leaving behind only a puff of blue-black smoke that was gradually blown away by the breeze on the water...

"Shhh~"

A mini-missile shot straight into the sky, traced a graceful arc, and flew toward the distant Zhao Jun.

Li Meng and Wang Zeyu were sitting by the console, having a very heated discussion about the topic of "whether The Ark can actually beat an America aircraft carrier." After hearing the sound, the two hurriedly stood up and crowded in front of the screen to admire the destructive power of that mini-missile...

Wang Zeyu suffered from severe fear of insufficient firepower: "It's so small? Can it have any punch?"

Li Meng: "It should be fine... Actually, it's not that small! At this size, let alone a missile, even a firecracker this big thrown at you would be bad enough!"

"Shhh~"

Zhao Jun not only heard it, he even saw it!

He just didn't know if this missile was aimed at him, because after the missile launched, it didn't chase straight toward the two of them, but instead kept climbing in altitude...

"Warning: The Ark is currently within the effective kill radius of the missile. Adjusting course to avoid the missile's kill radius. At the same time, the missile will adjust its detonation altitude. Please sit tight and hold on, prepare for the shockwave..."

Zhao Jun didn't dare to gamble on whether this missile was aimed at him. He reached out, grabbed Xiao Dong, and leaned backward. The two fell into the water and frantically dove down!

"Ship... glug... Uncle... glug... there is... glug..."

Zhao Jun was furious and quickly covered Xiao Dong's mouth and nose tightly with his hand.

This idiot!

Why are you talking underwater!

Zhao Jun also saw that not far away, several white ships marked with Japanese characters were sailing toward them!

Zhao Jun's eyes lit up!

He felt as if his ears were filled with the sound of his heart pounding "thump, thump."

Seeing that the missile in the sky didn't seem to be planning to fly upward anymore, but was instead constantly adjusting its posture and aiming at him...

"Oh no! That missile really seems to be aimed at us!"

Zhao Jun roared in his heart; his survival instinct made him burst out with one last bit of strength.

He stopped diving, instead dragging Xiao Dong and frantically darting underwater toward the Japanese ships!

He had calculated that the missile was aimed at their small wooden boat, or rather, it was aimed at the two of them as "heat sources"! What he needed to do now was to divert the disaster toward the Japanese people!

What if that thing was aiming at the ship?

He definitely couldn't outrun a missile, but at least he could hide in the water before the missile smashed into him!

"Puh-ha!"

Zhao Jun suddenly broke the surface, greedily took a big breath of air, and at the same time used all his strength to pull up Xiao Dong, who was dizzy from choking on water.

The missile launched by The Ark was not locked onto Zhao Jun's small boat, but onto him as a "heat source."

The moment Zhao Jun entered the water, the missile instantly locked onto the coast guard ship closest to him.

The missile kept climbing to allow The Ark time to evade. Once The Ark was out of the kill radius, the missile dove down!

The rocket engine instantly reached maximum power, and the entire missile accelerated to Mach 16 within four seconds, giving the coast guard ship no time or space to react...

"Get down! Close your eyes!"

Zhao Jun roared, suddenly pushing Xiao Dong's head into the water while curling up and diving in himself.

Almost the very next second!

"Boom!!"

A deafening roar exploded on the surface of the water! Even underwater, Zhao Jun felt as if someone had slammed a heavy hammer against his back. The massive shockwave shook his internal organs out of place, and his ears rang with a buzzing sound, leaving him unable to hear anything.

Zhao Jun was terrified. He saw it clearly underwater: that small-looking missile hadn't even hit the coast guard ship!

It exploded at a position dozens of meters above the water surface!

He poked his head out and saw that the Japanese coast guard ship that had been in the front was now blown open with a huge hole in the middle of its hull. Thick smoke and flames shot into the sky, the ship was tilting rapidly, and the Japanese crew members on board were wailing and screaming, jumping into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

And this ship was not the one the missile had targeted...

The one targeted by the missile had already vanished...

"Cough... cough cough..."

Xiao Dong coughed violently, spitting out several mouthfuls of water. He looked at the burning, sinking ship with a pale face, then looked at Zhao Jun, his eyes full of lingering fear.

"Uncle... did... did we survive?"

Zhao Jun wiped the water from his face, panting heavily. His eyes stared gloomily at the distant The Ark, and then he looked at the other few Japanese ships that were clearly frightened and starting to panic, turning around.

"We survived..."

He gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse. There was not a shred of joy in his heart for having narrowly escaped; there was only the coldness of surviving a disaster and an even stronger sense of humiliation and hatred.

"Damn it! With such strong firepower, why are you pretending to be a little lamb here!"

"Pah!"

Zhao Jun spat out some water, his gaze fixed on that Warship in the far distance, his eyes dark...

"Baka!"

An angry curse brought Zhao Jun back to his senses. He turned to stare at the drenched Japanese person who was holding a lifebuoy with one hand.

As he looked, Zhao Jun burst out laughing.

Because even though he couldn't understand the gibberish the Japanese person was spouting, Zhao Jun could understand his expression!

He was asking: "You're the brat who brought the missile over here?"

Through the gaps between the distant buildings, Zhao Jun could see the vast Japanese fleet on the water...

Zhao Jun grinned, grabbed his apprentice Xiao Dong's collar with one hand, and paddled with the other as he swam toward the Japanese coast guard ship...
