Harriet steers the ship, and her skills are not bad at all, as she steers the ship steadily and skillfully into the canyon of Sycamore Island.
Leo stood on the edge, his brow furrowed as he kept looking at the treacherous peaks on either side, trying to find a way up the mountain.
But the dangerous peaks on either side are sharp, and there is no way up.
The waterway leading into the gorge is long and winding, stretching endlessly in between the peaks on either side.
Because of the high peaks on either side of the gorge, the sun does not shine much, giving it an eerie feel.
Harriet's voice was slightly tense as she said, "Mr. Cohen, I feel that this waterway is very long and I don't know how long I have to drive before I can discover the dock for disembarkation."
Leo smiled bitterly, knowing that the further ahead they drove, the greater the risk factor. If they were discovered by the pirates that they were not their own people on board, they would soon be rounded up and hunted down.
In order not to make Harriet nervous, Leo's tone was as relaxed as possible and he said comfortingly, "It's alright! Miss Wallace, try to drive the boat as fast as you can, because the sun in the canyon will soon be gone, and it's almost evening, so I'm afraid it won't be good to disembark in the dark."
"All right! You guys stand still."
Harriet smiled as she sped up.
The ship rumbles with the sound of a motor, raging over the seawater surface of the tributaries.
The gorge on either side sends a deafening reverberating sound.
Suddenly, a helicopter flew over the gorge towards the ship.
Leo's face sank as he said to Red Rose and Blue Rose, "Let's take it out quickly, I suspect we've been discovered by them that the ship is not one of theirs."
Leo ran to the position of the heavy machine gun, raised the height of the heavy machine gun and aimed at the incoming helicopter.
Instead, Red Rose sat in the position of another heavy machine gun, raising the barrel equally high.
Instead, Blue Rose shouldered her rocket launcher and aimed it at the helicopter.
But then it made Harriet's eyes light up. About a kilometre ahead, a forest appeared and the terrain was flat, making it easy to get to shore.
Just as Leo was about to take out the helicopter, there was a strange scene, but the helicopter turned around violently and flew backwards.
It disappeared in a few moments.
Leo was relieved, but his heart was full of doubts, why did this helicopter flying back?
Did the people in the helicopter also find out that there was danger?
The answer must be sure.
Because the pirates on the helicopter, who could see everything on board with their high powered binoculars, were definitely not fools.
Obviously they are taking the next step and baiting the enemy.
When they weigh up the pros and cons, they won't take any chances with a costly fight, but lure them in.
Harriet soon brought the ship to shore and she squealed excitedly, "We're here!"
With that, she opened the boat's counter-thrust mechanism and let the boat slide slowly to the shore, then dropped the flying anchor to stop the ship.
"Hurry up, everyone! It's going to be dangerous soon."
Leo carried his travel bag and sniper rifle on his back, plus he lifted a light rocket launcher shell.
Leo said to Harriet who was carrying her travel bag, "Miss Wallace, can you climb down the flying claw rope?"
"Mr. Cohen, you underestimate me. I've been learning martial arts from a famous master since I was eight years old."
Harriet smiled.
If everyone runs into the forest, the helicopters will launch a dragnet-like strike.
They could easily expose their bodies because the wind from the powerful wings of the helicopter would blow the trees.
Then the heavy machine guns on the helicopters would fire wildly.
Sure enough, two black dots appeared high in the sky in the distance, which immediately increased in size and were clearly two helicopters.
"Damn, there are two planes coming, things are in trouble."
Leo cursed through clenched teeth.
He glanced back at Harriet and was relieved to find that they had safely hidden in the forest.
With that, Leo ambled to the ground as he raised his light rocket launcher and aimed at one of the helicopters flying over at the front.
However, he had checked the direction of the two low-flying helicopters, which were heading towards the forest.
Apparently the pilot of the helicopter had spotted Harriet running towards the forest through the high powered binoculars.
Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening roar of helicopters.
Leo immediately used his eyes to roughly measure the distance and height and found that the helicopter was about fifty metres high and about a hundred metres away from him.
He measured that the most effective shooting distance was that of about thirty metres away for best results.
Of course, the search radar on top of the helicopter is possible if it does not find its position.
He might get detected by the helicopter's radar system and a rocket will come in before he can fire.
Leo wanted to take a try, after all, these two helicopters were not combat-ready military aircraft.
