The Fifteenth Section: Treasure Box Magic Box

  By the time Mao Si completely woke up, the sun had already set in the west.

  Seeing He Ningfeng's big sister with a tired and tearful smile, an indescribable warmth surged up in his heart, making his limbs feel extremely comfortable. Stretching out his arm wrapped in clean cloth, he pulled the woman who looked unusually weak into his arms, letting her hair gently caress his face, feeling the coolness and trembling of her body, causing Ma Si to completely forget about his pain as he immersed himself in great happiness...

  He Ningfeng was already exhausted! When the sky was slightly bright, she finally waited for Jin Laoye's boat at the small dock. Looking at the corpses lying horizontally and vertically on the boat, and Ma Si, who was covered in blood and had no consciousness, she fainted on the spot. After being busy to the point of exhaustion, Yang Shen doctor used acupuncture points to revive her after a long time. Fortunately, Jin Laoye added a sentence in a timely manner: "Ma Si is still alive!" Otherwise, she might have fainted again after seeing Ma Si's stiff body (how could it not be stiff when wrapped tightly in bandages?)...

  Next was to stay by his side, not leaving a single step. She, He Xiao Jie, had also been busy and tense for a day and night! But the man in her heart had not woken up yet, still hovering between life and death, how could she sleep? The emotions of heartache, worry, and gratitude repeatedly tormented her, so when she saw Mao Si wake up and hold herself tightly in his arms, she fell asleep with a happy and sweet feeling...

  Mao Si hugged her tightly, afraid of disturbing her good dream. For a long time, he maintained a fixed posture, for a long time, forcing his breathing to be as even and light as possible... He hoped that no one, nothing would disturb him and the woman in his arms, just like this, until the end of time!

  However, as he slowly fell into a semi-sleep state again, the voices in the water, at the bottom of the sea, made him recall things that began to flood his mind...

  Mao Si's injury was not severe. A high-explosive shell landed about 3 meters away from him and exploded, converting the shockwave into a powerful pressure that knocked him unconscious instantly, also tearing off part of his skin. This made him look terrifying when he was rescued by Jin Lao Xiao back to Devil Island, even scaring the usually fearless He Xianggu directly fainting! In fact, it was just a laceration and internal injury caused by the powerful shockwave, as well as a concussion (in modern medical terms).

  Li Guoliang, who didn't know the situation, knocked on the door a few times and then pushed it open! The matter was extremely urgent, and he couldn't help but be anxious, nor could he consider the feelings of Mao Si and the young lady!

  Mao Si woke up with a start in a half-asleep state, and hastily made a "shh" sound, signaling to the reckless Li Guoliang to keep his voice down so as not to disturb the beautiful dream of the woman in his arms. However, he didn't consider things from Li Guoliang's perspective, nor did he think about how his current expression with Dajie was utterly that of a "henpecked husband".

  Li Guoliang suppressed his smile, actually he didn't want to smile either. The thing that was on his mind and about to be said made him unable to smile.

  "Four brothers, the Hong Kong branch sent an urgent intelligence report. The two British cruisers in Hong Kong are heading this way! However, it's a bit strange that according to the speed of the cruisers, they should have arrived here long ago?" Li Guoliang couldn't figure out. He would never have thought that at this moment, the British light cruiser "Sydney" was under the command of Major Henry, heavily attacking the Red Hair Gang who had lost their main force and were retreating in disarray... A third party intervening will definitely start by taking down the weakest side (in terms of willpower, loyalty, strength, etc.).

  "Are the patrol boats gone?" Ma Si immediately mobilized all the clear and controllable brain cells, enduring the dull pain deep in his head, and quickly cleared his mind. "Get the hostages counted and taken to the mountain gate for guard duty. Dammit, can't talk about humanitarianism at this point! Oh, right. What was the situation last night?"

  "The patrol boats have all been dispatched, and the Golden Dragon and Black Dragon of the land team are also on standby at any time. Brothers have been sent to watch the wind on the nearby reefs. As soon as the British devils' warships arrive, we will know immediately! Last night, we killed at least 500 of those red-haired devils. In short, the Red Hair Gang is finished, and all they have left are small boats of less than a hundred tons! They're done for! Of our water ghosts who went out, only you and Little Five are left, everyone else... everyone else made the ultimate sacrifice! Four people on Old Jin's boat were killed by the red-haired devils while trying to rescue you and the other water ghost brothers." Li Guoliang spoke quickly, making it hard for others to see his true feelings.

  "Brother Guo Liang, I'm afraid we have to trouble you with some external matters. For the brothers who went out, we need to arrange for their aftermath, and for those with families, we need to give them a sum of money that's enough for the whole family to live on for a lifetime. Now, apart from this, there's nothing else we can do for them! I need to calm down these next few days and think about which path our 200th brother should take in the future. The British have arrived, it's simple, just send over some hostages and they'll know what to do! They thought they could kill two birds with one stone? Ha! I've seen through their schemes.

  Mao Si was very understanding of why the proud Royal Navy had appeared at this time. Where in the world would there be such a coincidence? The British must have wanted to take advantage of the Red Hair Gang's attack on Devil Island, letting them gain some benefits and then rescuing the hostages to take credit; if the Red Hair Gang failed, they would take the opportunity to wipe out the weakened pirates and then deal with the Black Shark Gang on Devil Island. This plan had now been ruined by Mao Si.

  No one could have expected that the ambushed Black Shark Gang would defeat the equally matched Red Hair Gang in just 20 hours at a minimal cost (in reality, the Red Hair Gang's strength was even greater than the Black Shark Gang in the waters around Devil Island, because they had launched a full-scale attack while the Black Shark Gang was fighting with reduced forces after retreating to their main base). Therefore, it seemed that the British had arrived a bit too late, and their target would naturally shift from the Black Shark Gang to the Red Hair Gang..."

  Li Guoliang walked away with a sense of relief and joy, this cold and stern man was very much in agreement with his analysis of the fourth brother! Of course, this fourth brother is our eldest brother! In the entire Hei Yu Gang, who can surpass Mao Si? No one! Even if they were to invite Lao Niu Jin (Niu Fushou) over, it would only be because of his seniority and cunning...

  Captain Henry stood beside Commander Johnson, dissatisfied with the captain. The slow "Sydney" missed the best opportunity, making the first combat plan to rescue the hostages and eliminate the Black Shark gang a failure! And the commander's reason was: long-term full-speed advance would cause engine overload and shaft overheating! When can this commander, who only has his warship in mind, understand the intention of General (actually Captain Henry himself)? Now, it's too late to say anything... Although the remaining Red Hair gang was caught off guard, 205mm shells were fired one by one, hitting cleanly. But these are secondary targets, just small fish and shrimp. I don't know how to report back to the commander-in-chief? Let this rough and timid Scottish miser, coward, report to the commander-in-chief first...

  The lieutenant's handsome face revealed a sly and triumphant smile. Ah, if he could take down this Scottish guy, he might be able to get promoted due to his achievement in annihilating the Red Hair Pirates, and even strive for the position of captain on the "Sydney"!

  The poor commander of the Zhongxiao was completely unaware that a plot was brewing in the mind of the handsome young major! He was still there, using his binoculars to watch with satisfaction as his marines cleared out the prisoners... Perhaps this staff officer sent by the admiral would, due to his generous hospitality, say a few good words about him to the general when he returned to the "York". Then, at the very least, he could get a medal, take a few months' leave, return to England to see his wife and children whom he hadn't seen in years, as well as his aging parents! What should he bring back for them from Hong Kong? Silk or porcelain? Ah, it was still too early to think about that now!

  Mao Si was still holding his beloved woman in bed, repeatedly thinking to himself. When Ning Shuang woke up, he got up and opened the computer to see what was inside. What is a dragon god? What does it mean to change history? Can history be changed? No! How could my birthday be 2003 when it's currently 1901?! Why am I so different from others? They have queues while I don't?! What's going on?! Oh God, stop tormenting me, teasing me! Please play this joke on someone else, okay?! I'm going crazy, crazy!

  Mao Si's heart was racing uncontrollably, against his will, startling the beautiful woman who was lying on his chest!

  He Ningfeng raised her head, looking at Mao Si who was staring at her with sparkling eyes, looking so serious, and yet there was a thick layer of smile in his eyes, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were also...also mocking her? Oh, yes......

  The beauty quickly got up from the man's body, but before she was fully awake, her hands pressed heavily on several large cracks on the man's body. The pain made him grit his teeth and twist his mouth, but he didn't dare to make a sound in front of the woman. Is it still a man if he cries out in pain in front of a woman?

  "Ah! I, I'm not... does it hurt?" He Ningfeng personally witnessed the man's mouth, eyes, eyebrows and facial muscles distort, naturally immediately realized what was going on, and immediately remembered that this lovely man was a "very serious wounded", her heart also involuntarily ached for a moment, asking a question that was obviously stupid. (Doesn't it hurt? A man would be like this? A woman's IQ is said to be 0 at times like these.)

  "It doesn't hurt! I'll just move the muscles on my face and see if I can smile." The pain on Mao Si's body was turned into a comfortable feeling by the woman's concern, and he even started to joke around. He didn't know that his smile had the strongest lethal power on the beautiful woman in front of him. All he knew was to stare at the woman's pretty face, her big eyes, small and red lips, and her well-defined and beautifully lined nose.

  "I'll go cook something for you!" The woman felt a chill in her heart (being with a pervert, she had to be careful and leave as soon as possible), and blushing, made an excuse to leave.

  Jin Lao woke up, pulling Zhang Xiaowu who miraculously survived with no injuries, and amidst the brothers' enthusiastic cheering, he loudly boasted. Anyway, the guy opposite him with a stupid expression didn't mind having a few more saliva stains on his face.

  "Old Mao is really formidable, and only he could come up with such a good plan! Think back to when Old He defeated the Red-Haired Ghost and nearly 100 brothers were killed or injured! Look at this time, we've thoroughly defeated the Red-Haired Ghost with less than 40 brothers lost. From now on, the South China Sea will be the domain of our Black Shark Gang, and there won't be a Red-Haired Gang anymore! Haha! Do you know the ultimate move Old Mao taught me? One shot, one hit! If I weren't conserving ammo, I would've sent the Red-Haired Ghost to feed the turtles at the bottom of the sea long ago! Right, Little Five Brothers?"

  "Right, definitely, I heard Lao Yao only fired 10 shots." Zhang Xiaowu hadn't even had time to continue the conversation when he was interrupted by the guy opposite Lao Yao who had been severely damaged by saliva.

  "Damn it, Jin Lao!" Zhang Xiaowu's extreme dissatisfaction poured out onto Jin Lao. "You don't know how awesome the medicine package that Mao Lao made is! Its power surpasses that of a cannonball! One medicine package can take down a big ship, it's so cool!" Zhang Xiaowu shouted excitedly, completely forgetting about the humiliation and anger he felt when the foreign devil urinated on his head. He waved his arms and legs wildly, causing his brothers around him to dodge out of the way, fearing that his flailing hands and feet would accidentally hit them.

  On the Devil's Island, they were immersed in the joy of victory. People temporarily forgot that more than 40 brothers and Old Mao III had sacrificed for the victory, and Old Mao IV was still lying in bed, being taken care of by his elder sister. They also forgot about the British 6,000-ton cruiser lurking outside, eyeing them covetously...

  Ma Si gritted his teeth and endured the pain that was spreading all over his body, as well as the stabbing pains in his head. He took out a computer from the backpack in the corner of the wall. After booting it up and entering the password, he finally opened a "treasure box", but at the same time also opened a "devil's box"...
