Chapter 915: Chapter 781: Secure a Foothold_3

“It’s just…”

Just when they took the chance to look ahead while on the boat, a crew member at the bow suddenly started gibbering hysterically at the pilot operating the levers for the three engines at the stern.

This left the pilot panicking and starting to turn the vessel.

The boat was originally a modified speedboat with two additional thrusters installed at the back. The steering method was quite primitive and rear-driven. Due to the overcapacity, the pilot couldn’t see what was ahead at all.

He relied entirely on the voice commands of the crew member at the bow.

Obviously, something had happened.

However, at the next moment, the boat suddenly shook violently as if it had hit something and almost seemed to be lifted into the air.

Accompanied by the splash of water and the shaking, the majority of the nearly full boatload of people were thrown into the sea, with sounds of splashes and cries for help one after another.

Wang Dawei and his companion were lucky; even though they were thrown up, they still landed back on the boat.

Bang~ Bang~

Two thuds, although falling on their backs hurt, at least they didn’t fall into the water.

“Shit, what happened?”

“Hit a reef? Weren’t they supposed to be experienced sailors? Lying to us again…”

The two cursed repeatedly, stretching their hands to press their sore lower backs, sucking in air from the pain.

The next moment, with a bang, a figure landed at the bow of the boat.

Compared to the others who fell all over the place, this person stood straight at the bow, showing no signs of displacement despite the undulations of the vessel.

Just like a steady gymnast.

The undulating boat and the blowing sea wind made the person’s clothes and hair flutter constantly, and at this point, their complexion didn’t look good.

Standing there, he started swearing.

“What the hell is wrong with you, can’t you drive a boat? Are you blind? We try to dodge, and you chase and ram into us!”

Tao Yu was cursing loudly at the bow.

Is this why there was a counterclockwise rotation?

What the hell?

Although it was no big deal for Tao Yu, Minato Namikaze and the others were all soaked to the skin.

Only they could still be considered special forces, otherwise such a direct collision could be deadly.

Soon after, Minato Namikaze and the others, all drenched, also climbed back on board clumsily.

Inuzuka E’s dog Towan, after getting up, kept shaking its head, splashing water everywhere.

Because her clothes were soaked, Airi Suzuki’s fiery figure became somewhat clingy.

“Guess the luck isn’t so good.”

Airi Suzuki, wringing the water out of her hair, also seemed a bit too weak to jabber at this point.

Originally, they thought they might encounter a storm and paddled madly to accelerate, only to be chased and run over by this boat.

At the stern, the crew member who held onto the railing to avoid being thrown off had also come to his senses from the collision.

While listening to the cursing, he looked at the radiant Airi Suzuki, becoming furious in an instant, and reached into his bosom to draw his pistol.

But when he saw that Towan, carrying a Barrett, climbed aboard, he took a closer look at the fully armed group. His hand creeping into his bosom also became more well-behaved.

He could probably guess they hit another boat. Looking at this group, they aren’t from the CIA, are they? Not on some secret mission they were flipped over by him, right?

Screwed…

The CIA is the real power in this region without a crown, colluding with gangs, smuggling flour, assassinating important figures, a truly fearful presence.

Tao Yu surveyed the scene and glanced at the previously gun-drawing crew member, and could more or less guess what had happened.

Then, with an impassive face, he said,

“Alright, that’ll do, take us to shore.”

“Yes, yes, please take a seat. Our boat is a bit crude, and what just happened wasn’t intentional, please forgive us,” said the crew member while bowing and scraping.

Meanwhile, those who had fallen into the water also began to move back towards the boat one after another.

In the end, with everyone back on board, the boat seemed a bit more spacious even with Tao Yu and his party onboard.

As for those who had disappeared, no one asked too much about it.

It’s normal for people to go missing at every stage of the journey; they were all used to it.

Once the crew member responsible for visibility at the front was back in position and pulled the motor a few times, starting up the humming engine again, Tao Yu then spoke to the crew member at the front,

“Are you guys a local gang?”

Though being hit was indeed quite exasperating, using this opportunity to get in touch with some of the local gangs in Mo Country wasn’t necessarily a bad option.

The gangs in Mo Country, along with the flour merchants, wield immense power, their weaponry and equipment are even stronger than their legitimate counterparts’, plus they collude with senators.

Candidates without the backing of a gang are mostly directly eliminated.

In such a chaotic country, finding a way to secure a ‘legal’ identity is actually not a bad choice.

Tao Yu also noticed the presence of East Asian faces on the boat, further confirming his thoughts.

Normal investigations aren’t leading to the past experiences. They aren’t afraid of inspections and offer a perfect cover…

——

The Yucatan Peninsula is a vital area of Mo Country that borders both the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. By entering the area directly via the sea, one can also bypass Guatemala.

Mo Country, being too distant from paradise, has its own limited powers, utterly unable to maintain over ten thousand kilometers of coastline.

Thus, smuggling is rampant on the seas of Mo Country.

On an undeveloped beach, a group of Mo Country gang members was already waiting nearby.

“Among those to be transported, there should be a few with good loot, haha.”
