Super Invincible Battleship

58  Chapter 46 South Korean Coast Guard

Yan Fei immediately understood that the speedboat ahead was operated by a drug lord and commanded the Drone to dive and gave chase. A minute later, the Drone caught up to the speedboat ahead, then began to ascend. Suddenly, someone on the speedboat yelled, "Faster, even faster, the support ship is just ahead."

Another voice said, "Damn it, how did we bump into a Chinese anti-smuggling boat so coincidentally this time? Boss, I suspect we have a mole. Our movements must have been leaked by them."

The first voice replied, "Let's not worry about that now. The ship coming to meet us is not far off. Once we get on that support ship, we'll be safe. We can deal with other issues once we're back."

The voice asked again, "The place where we just dropped the goods in the water, did you mark it properly?"

Someone responded, "Boss, we've marked it. In a few days, we'll send a boat to search for it, and we're sure to retrieve the stuff."

Hearing this, Yan Fei was now certain that this vessel was a smuggling boat transporting drugs and that the items thrown into the sea were their narcotics. Without hesitation, the Drone surfaced one meter above the water, its Vulcan Gun aimed at the drug lord's speedboat, and then it opened fire.

The people on the speedboat, already tense from being pursued, suddenly felt the boat shake and heard a tremendous noise from the stern, followed by an explosion and the propeller shattering, stopping it from spinning. The boat, having lost power, began to slow down. Then the hull shook again, and an intense muffled blast sounded below the waterline, as if something was destroying the hull from underneath.

This sudden turn of events caused panic aboard the speedboat. But before they could react, the Drone's naval cannon punctured the hull below the waterline and torrents of seawater began rushing in; the speedboat began to sink.

Yan Fei's Drone Avatar fired its 30-millimeter naval cannon, easily blasting the speedboat's engine and breaching the hull, rendering the speedboat incapable of moving forward. Moreover, due to a large hole in the hull and the influx of seawater, the vessel began to sink.

Yan Fei, having struck, did not continue his attack, as the speedboat was now incapacitated. The Chinese anti-smuggling boat was catching up from behind, and there was no need to keep attacking the speedboat. After all, there might still be state undercover agents on board, and continuing the attack could lead to casualties. He held deep respect for these agents who infiltrated drug trafficking organizations. Without their sacrifices and contributions, domestic society would be rife with drugs, leading to instability and the destruction of more families.

The drug traffickers' speedboat finally sank due to excessive water intake. The crew had no choice but to put on life jackets and jump into the sea. By that time, the Chinese anti-smuggling boat had also caught up and spotted the drug traffickers floating on the sea surface, promptly capturing them all.

Among the captured criminals was indeed a state undercover agent assigned to the drug organization. Upon revealing his identity, he identified the long-sought head of the drug ring. He reported the narcotics had been dumped into the sea and provided location coordinates. It was believed that a salvage ship dispatched to the location would be able to recover the drugs.

With this maritime drug battle won resoundingly, all participants were elated. However, they were also confused about what had caused the speedboat to explode and sink. They initially thought it was the work of a Navy submarine, but as no Chinese submarines were found active in the vicinity later, and with the sunken speedboat beyond recovery, this mystery remained unsolved.

Upon seeing that the drug traffickers had been captured, Yan Fei started to dive the Drone, leaving the territorial waters. When the speedboat sank, the Drone's Merit Points increased to 87. Previously, the Drone had only 37 Merit Points, but the additional 50 points were earned for sinking the drug lord's speedboat. The reason for the substantial Merit was that this speedboat was much larger than the yacht from which Zhang Baocheng had fled before.

Yan Fei's Drone Avatar struck again, not only taking out a drug trafficking organization but also gaining 50 Merit Points, marking a successful first battle. However, after dealing with today's drug-trafficking speedboat incident, Yan Fei suddenly had a realization; it was getting increasingly difficult for his Drone Avatar to gain Merit Points by combatting domestic criminals, as the state would not allow a weapon of enormous uncontrollable power to exist within its borders.

If Yan Fei repeatedly demonstrated the Drone's formidable Attack Strength domestically, he would likely attract state surveillance. Having learned from his encounters with experts from the Mysterious Organization, Yan Fei grew to maintain a sense of awe towards the state. Every formidable organization has its hard-to-deal with terror experts, and how could such a vast country not possess powerful figures? Should he encounter them, he might suffer a huge downfall.

The fast-moving young man who had appeared at the Shanghai docks the day Zhang Baocheng was taken down was very likely from a state organization. Even though Yan Fei felt his Strength had greatly increased, he was not confident that he could handle that young man. Thus, he didn't believe he could act with impunity domestically and had to remain low-profile, not daring to offend the dignity of the state.
