Chapter 128 The Flawed Hand Grenade
Chapter 128 The Flawed Hand Grenade
Looking at Sean's eyes, which were practically sparkling like they were in a comic book, Li Wei felt that even if he made him lie down right now and stick his butt out, he wouldn't hesitate.
However, as a purely heterosexual man, Li Wei only sighed inwardly.
As for Sean's title of "Big Boss," Li Wei didn't respond at all. Instead, he silently changed the magazine of his HK416 and then slung the shotgun over one shoulder.
He pulled four buckshot bullets from his trench coat with one hand, swung his arm twice, and loaded the bullets into the magazine in less than a second. He then pulled out four slugs and loaded them in the same way.
Upon seeing this, Sean practically wore an expression of adoration on his face.
Li Wei, as if he hadn't seen anything, took the shotgun off his shoulder and went straight to asking what he wanted to know.
"Is there any 'safe house' or similar place on the ship where hostages can hide?"
"hostage?"
Sean paused for a moment.
However, he quickly realized what was happening and swiftly switched gears.
"You mean the guest?"
"Yes, there is a large vault in the security room specifically for guests to store their valuables. It is secure enough with temperature and air conditioning systems. In terms of security, it is on par with the Federal Reserve. In terms of environment, it was built according to the standards of a professional museum's storage facility."
Li Wei's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.
"What use is this thing to a gambling ship?"
Sean immediately began to explain.
"Some guests bring oil paintings or antiques to play 'private games'."
"..."
Li Wei was speechless... These rich people really messed up first.
However, this "extra" thing has come in handy now.
"You lead the team to continue searching for the remaining hostages outside the casino lobby, and then take them to the vault."
As he spoke, Li Wei suddenly thought of a question.
"By the way, do these vaults need to be powered on? And if the power is cut off, will the air conditioning and ventilation stop, and will the oxygen be extracted, creating a near-vacuum environment?"
Sean nodded immediately, but did not refute Levi's previous idea. Instead, he waited quietly for the new orders.
After a moment's thought, Li Wei immediately offered a solution.
"Mission changed. First, take a bunch of people to the power supply room, then wait for my signal to de-energize the main hall."
"As for the issue of rescuing the hostages on the periphery, choose a trustworthy person to lead the team."
"Leave the rest to me."
"Do you understand?"
Sean instinctively stood at attention, wanting to salute.
The result was that it aggravated the wound, causing him to grimace in pain.
But he quickly recovered and readily agreed.
"Understood. Recapture the power distribution room, await the signal to cut off the power to the main hall, appoint a deputy to rescue the scattered hostages on the perimeter, and send the rescued hostages to the vault."
Li Wei nodded, and without saying a word, he turned around and rescued her.
At this moment, several security guards exchanged a silent glance, put down what they were doing, and quietly followed.
Upon seeing this, Li Wei simply waved his hand.
"go back."
However, no one listened.
"Boss, it's too dangerous for you to act alone. If something happens to you, the boss will fire us."
"Yes, boss, we can help."
"Boss, I used to be a Marine, 1st Division."
"Yes, boss, let them come along."
It was clear that people were starting to build connections, and even Sean, the commander facing his subordinates' "rebellion," was advising Levi to have these security personnel follow him.
Li Wei helplessly raised his hand and pinched his temple.
These people have decent fighting ability and fighting spirit, but the problem is that he is not a real "big boss".
How much of our involvement was exposed by acting with him?
At that time, he will definitely be fine, since he is a "cheater", but his 14 million will probably be in jeopardy.
Finally, in order to prevent these security guards from ruining his plans out of good intentions, Li Wei had no choice but to say some excessively harsh words.
"My own actions are small, which makes it convenient to fight, retreat, or relocate."
"If you come with me, I'll have to take care of you."
"If you really want to help me, give me a few original HK416 steel magazines if you have any. If not, you can give me some 5.56 caliber bullets."
His actions just now had basically emptied his assault rifle's ammunition, but he still had enough ammunition for the shotgun and "Lilith".
Li Wei's words, which implied "you guys are too incompetent," made the security guards lower their heads in embarrassment.
After all, Li Wei had just proven with his actions that he was very strong, and exceptionally strong, to the point that he was almost not of the same species.
However, this also successfully dispelled the group's idea of following.
Soon, these people managed to gather two extra HK416 original steel magazines and four universal STANAG magazines.
They come in various materials, including plastic, synthetic, and composite.
However, Levi didn't take the latter; he only took two original HK416 steel magazines.
While the universal magazine is usable, its reliability is average, and its feeding is not as smooth as the original steel magazines of the HK416.
If the ammunition supply jams at a critical moment, it can be very dangerous.
However, Li Wei didn't take it for free; he took out his two empty original steel HK416 magazines and returned them.
Of course, these two magazines were actually security equipment taken from the weapons storage room. When he boarded the ship, he only attached one magazine to the gun to ensure concealment.
"Load your own bullets."
After saying that, Li Wei strode towards the monitoring room.
The security guards, including Sean, watched as the figure, who looked tattered and even covered in blood, but whom they admired, walked further and further away.
Li Wei didn't care about this, but instead raised his hand and touched his left waist.
As his fingertips traced the last two tactical grenades, Li Wei didn't need to look down to check; just by their shape and feel, he could tell that he had one stun grenade and one flashbang left.
Clearly, neither the mutinous sailors nor the ship's security personnel had such a thing on hand.
If you want to find more, you'll have to look for mercenaries like that "Alacri".
Monitoring room...
If he were in command of such a crucial location, he would definitely assign elite troops to guard it.
Compared to the sailors, these mercenaries undoubtedly deserve the title of "elite troops".
However, there is still the issue of "trust" involved.
Would "Marty Harros" and the "captain" involved in the rebellion trust these mercenaries to guard the "monitoring room"?
Li Wei quickly found his answer.
After spending about 5 minutes getting to the vicinity of the monitoring room, he found that, as he had expected, there was someone guarding it.
But the composition of the personnel... is within reason.
A fully armed four-man mercenary squad, plus eight sailors.
In Li Wei's eyes, this "mixed force" was simply... too easy to defeat!
