Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

He still had 1,000 points left, enough to exchange for a [Broken Blade], but in this situation, trying to retrieve the Broken Blade was simply a pipe dream.

I fear that if I make the slightest movement, the soldiers will immediately open fire.

"Why didn't you take out your gun in the first place?" he asked.

"Stop talking nonsense, come here right now, take me to your room and hide me, and be careful not to be seen by anyone else..." the soldier panted heavily.

Lu Ye raised his hand.

"Hey, your target isn't me... at least not just me? And you're not a soldier on the ship, so who are you?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier's face twitched a few times.

Seeing the soldiers' performance, Lu Ye was overjoyed, which proved that his guess was correct!

If the people on this ship wanted to kill me, they wouldn't need to go through all this trouble.

Moreover, Lu Ye guessed that the guy didn't have many bullets in his gun.

Since it's a silenced weapon and it's located on a lower level, if there's enough ammunition, you can just fire directly; there's no need for this complicated hand-to-hand combat.

Actually, it's easy to understand if you put yourself in their shoes.

If you were given a gun with one bullet and asked to kill a sheep, would you give up using a gun altogether? Of course not!

There's probably only one reason why you'd risk getting gored in the butt by hand to catch a sheep: you're not only dealing with the sheep, but also with a bear behind you!

It goes without saying who is more dangerous, the sheep or the bear, and who needs that gun more.

Chapter 38 Pirates

But if he wasn't one of the colonel's men, then who was he?

The "soldier" stared at Lu Ye, thinking to himself that he had completely messed up.

He was definitely not a "soldier" on this ship.

He was a prisoner of pirates, a member of the armed fleet that had attempted to raid the port of Leiden seven days earlier.

The heavy machine guns sank the ship he was on. To survive, he swam desperately in the sea and grabbed onto the net ropes below the warship. The battle was fierce, and he was only concerned with survival. The seawater and blood blurred his vision, and he didn't have time to distinguish anything.

He was then arrested and imprisoned in a bottom compartment, as was his custom.

With him was his brother, both of whom were pirates. His older brother was later found on a piece of wood floating in the sea. When he was found, he was on the verge of death, both of his legs were broken, and his flesh was mangled. The consequences of a heavy machine gun bullet hitting a human body can only be described as horrific.

Fortunately, the soldiers provided the best possible treatment, which saved my brother's life.

This wasn't due to the colonel's compassion, but rather because he still needed these two to find out where the pirates' base was.

If there's only one pirate left, the colonel simply won't be able to determine the accuracy of the intelligence.

But with two people, it was easier to deal with. He locked the two brothers in the same room, separated them with a wooden board, and tied them tightly to chairs. He and Dietfried each took a map and had the two pirates mark their base on the map with pens in their mouths.

Throughout the entire process, the pirates cannot make a sound or make any extra movements other than speaking, otherwise they will be severely beaten.

After that, the colonel compared the two marked maps. If the locations marked by the two maps were the same, then the map was correct.

If the two people mark different locations... then they need to receive further "education" until the locations they mark are the same.

After they were no longer of any use, the two pirate brothers were left here to die...

Actually, they still have some value; otherwise, they would have been thrown into the sea long ago.

Their only remaining value was being sent to the gallows, since it was wartime and the unrest of the people needed to be calmed.

Although they were not soldiers from the northern country, their identity as "pirates" still had a certain effect, a fact they were well aware of.

I thought I was just waiting to die, until yesterday when an officer in a dark green military uniform with a big gold chain around his neck walked over.

He said, "If you help me with something, I'll let you two brothers leave this ship."

Although this promise may sound unrealistic, for people in dire straits, even the smallest hope is something they will hold onto tightly.

It's like you're trapped in a doomed cave, and suddenly someone pops up and tells you there's a way out. Even if you know that the way out might be full of danger and death, you'll still try it. You're going to die anyway, so why not take a chance and see if you win?

The pirates accepted the mission with this mindset.

And this mission was to kill Lu Ye.

In fact, Lu Ye's guess was not entirely accurate.

From beginning to end, the pirates' target was only Lu Ye. The gun and dagger were left by the officer specifically for him to kill Lu Ye.

But he didn't use the gun because he wanted to save the bullets for the officer.

He was a pirate, and cunning was ingrained in his very being through his seafaring career.

Why would someone like that work for the officers for free?

Having grown up fighting and handling guns, he could tell at a glance that Lu Ye was just an ordinary person without any training.

That's why he planned to kill Lu Ye with a knife, so he could save a bullet.

If the officer dared to go back on his word, he would risk his life to drag the officer down with him.

Even if it meant death, he wanted to make that officer pay the price for looking down on him.

I never expected that he would die before he even got started. He hadn't even completed his mission when he was defeated by this kid.

"Stop talking nonsense...come here quickly, do you really think...I won't shoot?"

The pirate spoke haltingly, blood clots dripping from his mouth.

Lu Ye took a step forward, holding the lantern.

Footsteps echoed in the damp room, the light from the lantern flickered faintly, and the sound of footsteps treading on water stains was irritating.

"You bastard...didn't I tell you...hands...raised above your head?"

The pirate's eyes were bloodshot; he struggled to stay upright, and blood pooled beneath him.

If Lu Ye can take him to the fourth level, which is the second to last level of the passageway, he can survive, because there are usually medical supplies on such military ships.

Going any higher was out of the question, because the officer was monitoring the stairs leading to the upper level; otherwise, he would have slipped away long ago.

The officer restricted the pirates' activity area to between the 4th and 5th floors, and there was another reason why Lu Ye was brought to the lowest floor to be killed.

The officer's instruction to him was not to alert anyone else, including the soldiers on the ship. Therefore, he did not choose to make his move in the passageway on the fourth floor. Since the officer had not informed his subordinates of this, he would have been immediately killed as an intruder if he alerted the other soldiers.

Lu Ye stopped two meters away from the pirate. "Don't be ridiculous. If you kill me, who will come to help you leave?"

The pirate's face was pale, but his expression was so vicious that it looked like he wanted to devour Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was right; he really couldn't kill Lu Ye now, otherwise he would die from lack of medical treatment.

But Lu Ye was also trapped here, because if he dared to turn around, bullets would follow him and pierce his heart.

"At least I can get you on your way..."

Lu Ye silently extended his hand.

The pirate held the gun steadily in his right hand, pointing the muzzle at Lu Ye, while his left hand slowly extended.

At this moment, Lu Ye pulled his outstretched hand back slightly.

"You'd better think this through. Whatever your goal is, once I save you, we're in the same boat. I'm not a soldier on this ship."

“I know…” the pirate gasped, “Take me out of here first, and I’ll tell you what happened.”

"Great, I'll take you to your room first. There's a first-aid kit there."

Lu Ye carefully helped the pirate out of the room, and the pirate thoughtfully pointed the gun at Lu Ye's head.

They walked very slowly, taking small steps at a time.

"Could you loosen your index finger a little?" Sweat beaded on Lu Ye's forehead. "I don't mean you should take your finger off the trigger... Don't use so much force, what if it goes off accidentally?"

Although the pirate looked very weak, he still forced himself to keep going.

"Fuck you... I don't need you to teach me."

Lu Ye sighed, "Actually, I'm not a soldier. You've got the wrong person. I saw a rather ugly old man before. He's the commander of these soldiers, and he's a colonel! You should go find him. Kill their leader. Even if it's a one-for-one trade, it's not a loss... How about it? After we get out and I help you heal your wounds, I'll go and find out where that old guy sleeps tonight?"

"You can still spout so much nonsense with a gun pointed at your head?" The pirate was somewhat exasperated.

"When I get nervous, I become incredibly talkative..."

As Lu Ye spoke, he caught a glimpse of the debris on the ground in front of him out of the corner of his eye. It had all been knocked down by the storm and hadn't been cleaned up yet.

The opportunity has come, he thought.

Chapter 39 My ideal man is a peerless hero...

Lu Ye led the pirates carefully across the debris on the ground.

Then, his foot "accidentally" stepped on a smooth steel pipe, and the two of them fell to the ground together.

The next moment, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard, accompanied by someone's cry of pain.

The pirate lay on the ground, his left hand tightly clutching his side, but the gun in his right hand was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Ye rubbed his bleeding nose and fiddled with the strangely shaped silenced weapon in his hand.

He and the pirates are inseparable.

Because pirates will bleed to death without Lu Ye, and Lu Ye will be shot dead if he leaves.

This is a stalemate.

To break the deadlock, external forces are needed.

So Lu Ye agreed to the pirate's request; he had his own plans.

As time goes by, the pirates' blood will only flow more and more. When Lu Ye was six years old, he was in a car accident and knew that when blood loss reached a certain level, consciousness would become blurred. Therefore, he walked slowly, pretending to help as if he was trying his best to delay time.

But the pirates, driven by an insatiable will to survive, kept their guns pressed firmly against Lu Ye's head. If Lu Ye made any small movement, the bullets would intimately knock open the door of his skull, go in and stir up his brain matter, and then fly out from the other side of his skull.

And if he feels he can't hold on any longer, he might pull the trigger.

So we have to find a way to take the gun from the pirates before they can react.

And so the "accident" happened.

Lu Ye's kick was genuine and unpretentious; he stomped on the steel rod with a heavy heart, and then his foot slipped hard.
