"Old Lin, is this maritime area still safe?" Old Li walked onto the deck.
On the deck, a man holding a telescope was observing the vast sea.
"Yes," Old Lin nodded, he was the captain of the security team on board.
Because they were passing through the African Maritime Area, the merchant ship was equipped with a security team, each member armed with firearms and ammunition to prevent pirates from hijacking the ship. However, the pirate force in this area was very powerful, and a mere security team was not enough to guard against an attack by a pirate troop. Therefore, this time Old Li had specifically arranged for a gunboat from the Second Navy Fleet to escort them.
Even though the gunboat's attack capability was not as strong as that of an escort ship or a cruiser, its capability was far stronger than that of a so-called security force.
Old Lin watched the sea surface intently, inspecting it for any activity.
"Oh no, pirates!" Old Lin shouted.
"Where?" Old Li shouted.
