Before escaping Moergawa, no one was safe, so feeling fortunate at this moment was futile, for they were still within Moergawa's domain.

The ship moved forward for a while, and the sounds of gunfire grew increasingly intense. Ling Zhenfei knew they were getting closer to the battle zone.

Suddenly, flames soared from the distant sea. It turned out that a ship had exploded and caught fire, sending out loud noises.

Amidst the flames of the exploding ship, Ling Zhenfei saw the fierce battle between the two sides. Their warships were all converted fishing boats, incomparable to Gu Feng's large warships.

Yet, they were all armed with weapons, engaging in a frantic shootout, with extremely fierce combat.

They did not pause and continued forward, steering clear of the battle area from afar.

Something floated over with the current, and someone with sharp eyes saw it in the water, screaming in terror. It turned out that many dead bodies were floating in the water.

Ling Zhenfei looked at the people in the water; little did he know there were so many dead bodies, with at least hundreds floating on the river surface.

The scene was both horrifying and shocking, while the accompanying European beauty silently recorded everything with her camera.

Her name was Isabella, a journalist who had originally come to Moergawa to report on the situation, never expecting to be captured.

Captive Isabella didn't know whom to pay ransom to; the situation was extremely dangerous. Thankfully, Ling Zhenfei appeared, or otherwise, Isabella would have faced a tragic end.

Ling Zhenfei said to Zhang Bin: "Judging by their attire, they seem to be ordinary people, not soldiers."

Zhang Bin replied: "That's right, they don't look like any soldiers since their clothes do not match any military uniform."

"Then how did they die?" Ling Zhenfei asked curiously.

Zhang Bin said: "That's easy to handle, let's pull up one body to take a look; by examining the wounds, we can tell how they died."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Then let's pull one up and take a look. The dead bodies on the surface are nothing but a few scenarios: either capsized or killed in Tongchuan scuffles, but none of these killed so many; another possibility is being murdered."

At this moment, Zhang Bin had already found a rope and pulled a nearby corpse out of the water.

It was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, originally in the prime of youth, now dead in the cold sea, with two distinct bullet holes on his body, the cause of his death.

Ling Zhenfei took a clamp from his Di Tian Shen Sui and extracted the bullets from the boy's body.

Surprisingly, the two bullets were different, implying the boy was shot by two different guns by two people simultaneously.

This moment, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel a twinge of anger, as they say, doctors have parental hearts, and for Ling Zhenfei, healing people is his duty.

He knows how difficult it is to save someone, sometimes requiring a full day to save a person, whereas taking a life might take just a second.

Isabella kept shooting with her camera, tears unknowingly falling from her eyes.

Lin Yuluo couldn't help but feel scared seeing the dead bodies; one hand tightly grabbed Ling Zhenfei's, fearing he would leave her.

Ling Zhenfei comforted the two girls and then, together with Zhang Bin, returned the boy's body to the sea.

"They were all innocent people, gunned down." Zhang Bin concluded.

Ling Zhenfei said: "It seems someone is wantonly killing, or deliberately killed everyone on this ship."

Zhang Bin said: "Large fishing boats in Moergawa are rare; seeing the hundreds of bodies, they must have killed more than just one ship's worth of people."

Small fishing boats, like the two following Ling Zhenfei, hold at most ten odd people. Seeing hundreds of bodies means dozens of boats' worth of people have been shot and killed.

Isabella, with red-rimmed eyes, said: "This is massacre. When I return, I must publish this data to let everyone know such a great massacre happened in Moergawa."

People around fell silent, and Ling Zhenfei then said: "We must also be vigilant; someone's shooting fishing boats on the sea, we're in great danger."

Zhang Bin said: "Our boat has Outer Islands markings; hopefully, no one would dare to attack us from the Outer Islands."

Before Zhang Bin could finish his words, the sound of gunfire suddenly came. Bullets shot from a distance towards the ship.

Most bullets fell into the water due to the distance, while some hit the ship.

"Not good, someone is shooting! Get down quickly!" Zhang Bin shouted to everyone.

The people around hurriedly bent down; then, dense gunfire began shooting, and the other two ships were attacked, causing screams of terror to rise.

Ling Zhenfei was startled, hastily standing on the prow to watch; his eyesight was excellent, immediately seeing two armed speedboats rushing towards them.

While running, the mounted machine guns emitted dense firing sounds.

The sparks from bullets were clearly visible in the night sea, crisscrossing the air, targeting their three ships.

Ling Zhenfei was extremely anxious; this was the sea, not land, too far from shore, and essentially powerless.

Those armed speedboats were fast, much faster than the two fishing boats Zhang Bin found. They'd catch up soon, needing no lengthening time.

Now, due to the distance, the lethality was limited, but if they got closer, everyone on these three boats would likely have no chance to survive.

"Ah!"

Screams came from the fishing boat, indicating someone was hit, and as time went closer, only more people would be shot dead.

Ling Zhenfei knew he couldn't wait; if he waited, who knew how many people would die.

The dead bodies in the water were their warning; if nothing were done, those dead bodies would soon resemble them.

With this thought, Ling Zhenfei shouted to the people behind him: "Wait for me!"

After finishing, he jumped into the sea. Ling Zhenfei possessed Northern Spiritual Energy, allowing him to stay a long time underwater without breathing.

Entering the water, Ling Zhenfei was like a fish. After observing the underwater environment, he dived directly towards the two armed speedboats.

The sea surface was turbulent, even stormy, yet beneath the surface, it was relatively calm.

Moergawa's waters were originally clean, but Ling Zhenfei felt only murkiness, a murkiness mixed with blood.

Ling Zhenfei knew it was his illusion; to dye seawater red would require killing countless people.

His underwater speed was fast, and guided by sounds, Ling Zhenfei quickly found the speedboats heading towards the three ships.
