Tao Qiyue felt Chen Jinzhao's determination.
She also nodded forcefully and said, "I will always stand by your side."
"Ning Fei, that scoundrel, deserves to die. This is just prolonging his life a little longer."
Chen Jinzhao grunted, then asked him, "How are you feeling now? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? If so, you should stay here and rest."
Tao Qiyue shook her head vigorously.
A sincere smile appeared on her face, "I'm so formidable, how could anything be wrong with me? Besides, even if I were injured, I would drag my wounded body to witness this grand feast."
If Ning Fei doesn't die, the world won't be at peace.
Chen Jinzhao smiled, "Good. Stay behind me later, and I will protect you."
On the other side.
Qian Deshui had finished his count. Besides him and Guan Hong, there were five others with full combat strength. Qian Deshui clenched his fist and said, "Success or failure, it all comes down to this."
Chen Jinzhao was not idle either. He went to the enemy's corpses to search for advanced weapons and ammunition, then distributed them to Xiao Wu and the others. A craftsman must first sharpen his tools to do his work well.
Several people stood around Chen Jinzhao, listening to the tasks he assigned them. Chen Jinzhao, being a former soldier, was very skilled at assigning combat missions. The entire process was extremely smooth, as if these skills were etched into his very bones.
Qian Deshui and the other laymen benefited greatly from listening, feeling a sense of enlightenment. They once again felt genuine admiration for Chen Jinzhao, thinking to themselves, as expected of the Republic's youngest general, his reputation is well-deserved.
Tao Qiyue was also stunned.
She had also spent a few years in the military, so why did Chen Jinzhao's military theories and combat experience seem far superior to her instructors?
Chen Jinzhao—
What was his background?
Tao Qiyue already had a guess in her heart, but it had not yet been confirmed.
"Although it's just a guess, it's likely close to the truth, right?" she murmured to herself.
After Chen Jinzhao finished assigning the combat missions, he asked with a solemn expression, "All missions have been issued. Does anyone still have any unclear points? If not, you might lose your head on the battlefield."
Everyone was digesting the tasks assigned by Chen Jinzhao. Guan Hong then meekly posed a question, "Young Master Chen, your assigned combat missions also have a prerequisite: everyone must survive. But you know we are all a motley crew, not guaranteed to survive the hail of bullets. Will it be possible for the missions to be unfulfilled?"
Everyone looked at Chen Jinzhao, sharing the same doubt.
Chen Jinzhao's gaze was as firm as a torch, and he said with a resounding voice, "As long as you strictly follow the missions I have assigned you and execute them well, I guarantee that I can bring you all home safely."
Everyone's hearts were profoundly shaken.
What immense confidence this was!
Chen Jinzhao was not only confident in his own abilities but also in the military theories he commanded.
"If there are no other questions, we will rest for five minutes before acting. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
For the next five minutes, no one spoke, silently digesting Chen Jinzhao's tactics.
Xiao Wu also greatly admired Chen Jinzhao, murmuring, "As expected of CEO Li's nephew. Their demeanor when confident is almost identical."
Five minutes passed quickly, and the decisive battle moment finally arrived.
Chen Jinzhao led the nine people to the top deck. Everyone silently remembered the tasks Chen Jinzhao had assigned them and tensed their nerves to complete them.
At this time.
In the office on the top deck, the once tidy floor was littered with cigarette butts, the handiwork of three people.
Mike Ross was extremely irritable.
He held absolute superiority, so why was he pushed to this point?
"What's the situation below?" Mike Ross looked up and asked the trembling female host. The female host swallowed and stammered, "Reporting, my lord, the human beast from China has broken through the first line of defense, causing heavy losses to our side."
The human beast referred to Chen Jinzhao.
The female host felt that no other title was more fitting.
Mike Ross's mood became extremely agitated. Ning Fei, standing nearby,'s heart sank. He quickly said, "You must stop him at the second and third lines of defense. Never let him approach the office, or we will all be in trouble, even dead!"
"Don't worry." Mike Ross lit another cigarette, squinting his eyes and saying, "I have already set up five lines of defense. Chen Jinzhao won't break through so easily; he'll likely fall at the second or third."
Hong Xingwen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mike Ross said to the female host, "Go and check the situation again. Report back to me immediately if there are any developments, do you understand?"
The female host, filled with fear, could only obey Mike Ross's orders.
In less than five minutes, the female host ran back into the office with a pale face, panting, "Mr. Mike, the inhumane killer has broken through the second line of defense and is approaching the third line!"
Mike Ross's face turned pale with fright. He gathered his courage and said, "Investigate again, and report back!!!"
The female host left again.
Ning Fei, still shaken, said, "Mr. Mike, should we take this opportunity to leave by speedboat? Chen Jinzhao is about to attack. If we don't make a decision soon, I'm afraid something unexpected might happen."
Hong Xingwen also repeatedly urged him.
Both of them were afraid of dying on the cruise ship, which would be a great loss to them.
Mike Ross took a deep breath, then glared fiercely at the two and shouted, "What are you afraid of?! Will you kill Chen Jinzhao by doing this? We don't need to consider escaping until he breaks through the last line of defense."
After all, he wouldn't be the one dying.
What was there to fear?
Ning Fei and Hong Xingwen's hearts sank by half. Mike Ross's intention was likely to sacrifice others to save himself. What could they do?
Not long after he finished speaking, the female host reappeared, still speaking breathlessly, "The arrogant Chen Jinzhao has broken through the third line of defense and is at the fourth!"
This made the atmosphere in the office even more oppressive!
Almost suffocating!
"Investigate again, and report back!" Mike Ross roared.
Everyone fell silent.
After another three minutes, the female host appeared again, causing everyone's hearts to sink to the bottom. Mike Ross impatiently asked, "Where is Chen Jinzhao?"
The female host swallowed and then said, "The valiant and skilled Mr. Chen has broken through the fourth line of defense, tearing through enemy lines like lightning. He is only one line of defense away from us!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Xingwen slid from his chair and fell to the ground, his eyes vacant, muttering to himself, "It's over, it's all over. We're all going to die!"
Mike Ross's temper had reached its limit. He had never expected Chen Jinzhao to be so formidable. Hearing Hong Xingwen's despairing cries, he cast an angry glare at him.
"Shut up!"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
