The pirate speedboat rushed over, getting closer and closer.
Niu Dazhao led the crew who were still making the final struggle and frantically turned their course and headed north.
Dong Xuebin on the deck looked around and observed the situation, walked slowly back to the cabin without saying a word, returned to his room, opened the door, picked up a glass of water, drank it in his stomach, replenished his water, and then drank it.
He touched a fruit-peeling knife on the table, a folding type, and slowly inserted it into the belt on his lower back. After thinking about it for a while, it was still not enough, so he went to the crew room next to him and dug out two folding knives, hiding them one after another.
Enter the lower back. This kind of knife is not very useful to others. After all, pirates all have guns and submachine guns like AK47, but the knife is enough for Dong Xuebin. He does not need to prepare too much, and there is no
This is necessary.
When we walked to the deck, the scene of chasing each other was still going on outside.
Bang bang bang! Then several gunshots flew into the air, which was extremely shocking!
The ten pirates on the four speedboats laughed wildly and shouted something that Dong Xuebin and the others could not understand.
Many of the crew members were frightened when they heard the gunshots. Some people desperately sought cover, while others ran into the cabin to avoid bullets and fled in a hurry.
"Work harder!" Niu Dazhao shouted!
"Captain! No way!"
"Yeah, we can't outrun them!"
"Do you all want to die here? Turn the helm quickly! Quickly!"
There was a chaos on the boat, and everyone was in a hurry.
Suddenly, a crew member looked shocked, pointed to the position diagonally behind the ship and said: "There is a ship there! There is a ship!"
Dong Xuebin looked over, and sure enough, there were two black spots there, which seemed to be more than one ship. Niu Dazhao and several crew members immediately looked over with binoculars.
"The ship behind is too far away to see clearly."
"The ship at the front is a cargo ship! It's from country H!"
"It's a cargo ship! I saw it too! It's bigger than ours!"
"There must be valuables on the ship! And the number is four to five times ours!"
These words cheered up many people, hoping that these pirates would change their target and stop chasing them. After all, the cargo ship in the distance had changed its course after hearing the gunfire. If the pirates attacked their side, they would definitely chase them.
We can no longer board that cargo ship. The cargo on that ship is much more valuable than ours. Anyone who is not a fool will know who is more important and who is less important. This also gives everyone a glimmer of hope.
There were two pirates holding telescopes, and they obviously saw the large cargo ship of Country H in the distance.
The gunshots stopped, and the pirates whispered to each other and discussed something. Finally, they sent a signal to the small and medium-sized pirate ship not far away. The pirate ship over there seemed to flash a few times and replied.
Order. The pirates on the speedboat looked at it and said no more. They didn't even look at the cargo ships of Country H and continued to point their guns at the Republic's ship.
Niu Dazhao was angry and yelled at the pirates: "We just carried some ordinary goods on the ship! Why are you chasing us!?"
A crew member saw it and said, "They want to take hostages!"
The crew member next to him also turned pale, "It's too much to bully others! It's too much to bully others!"
It is indeed too much to bully people. These pirates will only attack the ships of the Republic? Only their country? But ships from other countries can pass through at will?
What the hell is this!?
What is the concept of piracy? In the beginning, it was synonymous with robbing ships and goods. But now, these pirates are crazy. The hostages are many times more important than the goods in their eyes, because these hostages can be exchanged for ransom. They want to ask as much as they want.
The money is as much as you ask, especially the people of the Republic and the hostages of the Republic. After several transactions, the pirates have tasted the sweetness of taking the hostages of the Republic, and their courage is getting bigger and bigger. They know that the Republic will not refuse to pay, so they
Without thinking, they chose the Republic's ship over and over again. Perhaps in the eyes of this group of pirates, not only would they not get a ransom for hijacking merchant ships from other countries, but they might also suffer retaliation, but there was no need to consider hijacking the Republic's ship.
At this point, with the ransom, the Republic did not dare to take action against the pirates. Instead, they were afraid of the revenge of themselves and others. That is why the current scene happened, and that is why they started crazy attacks on the Republic, right?
Dong Xuebin's anger has also condensed to a certain level at this time. It is suppressed in his chest and is about to burst out at any time. You hijacked our ship. We care about the safety of the hostages. We don't care about you robbing the goods or killing us.
Crew, I gave you the ransom, but what happened in the end? Instead, you targeted the ship of our Republic? Once, twice, and three times endlessly? Instead of other countries that did not pay the ransom, you ignored them and allowed them to pass?
How can this be true in the world? You guys are looking for death!
The more you compromise and the more scruples you have, the more they will sit on your head and shit on you!
This is the face of these pirates!
Dong Xuebin's cold eyes looked at the laughing pirates who were chasing him, but he suppressed his anger and stood there motionless. He was too far away to see if there were any hostages of the Republic on the pirate ship's master ship in the distance.
, are there any traces of Qianqian? Dong Xuebin just guessed whether they were waiting for the warship and ransom, so he did not act rashly, the timing was not right!
Bang!
Bang bang!
There was loud gunfire, but it was mostly a deterrent. The pirates may have wanted to capture them alive, so they did not shoot at the crew, and the angle was not enough.
"Xiao Dong! What are you doing?" Niu Dazhao saw that Dong Xuebin didn't have any awareness of the impending disaster. Instead, he stood there calmly and watched. He couldn't help shouting. Who is this person? Why is he so fearless?
Aren’t you afraid? Bullets are flying in front of you without even looking at it? The pirates are about to rob the ship and you’re still staring at it? This is life-threatening. “Go back to the cabin quickly!”
Most of the crew retreated to the cabin.
Dong Xuebin looked back and walked back, but he did not enter the cabin. Instead, he lowered his head and picked up a telescope that had just been thrown on the deck. He picked it up and looked at the pirate ship in the distance. The pirate's main ship was very
It is dilapidated. Many places on it are wrapped in rags, and there are also some shelves made of broken boards. They are very crude. They should be assembled from old ships. Now they are a little closer. Dong Xuebin can see through the telescope.
They arrived at a pirate standing on the bow of the ship, with a hairy beard, who seemed to be their leader. There was also a speedboat left beside the main ship, patrolling around the main ship from time to time, as if to protect it, and did not participate in the other ships
Hijacking of a speedboat.
Really the leader?
The leader is here too?
Dong Xuebin thought thoughtfully, if ordinary pirates come out to look for targets, the leader shouldn't follow them, right? They always dispatch some speedboats, and they can come and go freely, but now the leader is actually sitting in person? And so many speedboats are dispatched together, and there are also waiters.
There are more than a dozen pirates all armed with guns. If the pirates on their side are also divided into factions, this should be the full strength of one of the factions, right? Such a large formation? Just to rob a Republic cargo ship? Impossible, they are waiting
There must be some other purpose here!
The more he analyzed it, the more Dong Xuebin felt that this was the group of pirates who had taken hostages of the Republic a few days ago. However, after looking at it for a long time, Dong Xuebin couldn't see clearly whether Qianqian was on the ship. The fishing area behind the cabin was blocked.
, can’t see inside!
Bang bang!
Another gunshot!
"Xiao Dong! Come in quickly!" Seeing that the pirates were about to board the ship, Niu Dazhao also ran into the cabin and called Dong Xuebin outside.
"Captain! Close the door quickly!"
"Yeah! Leave him alone! He doesn't want to live anymore!"
"Is this person crazy? Still standing firm despite being rained with bullets?"
In fact, since Dong Xuebin got on the ship, everyone thought this person was a bit weird. If you want to go out to relax, how about you take a tourist boat? Do you have to be a cargo ship? Or even be a cargo ship bound for the waters of F continent? Who?
Don’t you know there are pirates here? Aren’t you so full that you have nothing to do? And now that you are in a hurry, bullets are hitting all around, you are still looking at the scenery with a telescope? Don’t you?
Do you know how to write the word "death"? It's just... everyone doesn't know what to say.
However, despite the criticism, many people were still shocked by Dong Xuebin's courage.
How many people in the world can do this without changing their composure?
Dong Xuebin waved his hand to Niu Dazhao behind him, but still didn't go back. He used the telescope to repeatedly check whether there was any Qianqian on the pirate ship. After a while, he still couldn't see it. Dong Xuebin simply turned the telescope and looked elsewhere, observing the surroundings.
Condition.
The next moment, a ship actually entered Dong Xuebin's sight!
It's not too far away, but it's not too close either, so I can't see clearly.
When we saw the H country cargo ship just now, everyone saw two ships, and the latter one was far away and could not be seen clearly. Now the H country ship changed its course and disappeared long ago, and the latter ship came over.
, the direction is exactly where Dong Xuebin and the others are.
Coming for us?
Did you come back if you heard the gunfire?
Did you know there were pirates here and why did you come here?
Dong Xuebin's heart moved slightly, and he felt that this was something strange. He immediately changed the direction and continued to look over there. Suddenly, Dong Xuebin's pupils shrank suddenly. He finally vaguely saw a national flag from the ship - it was the Republic of China.
ship!
To be precise, it is a warship of the Republic!
Seeing Niu Dazhao about to close the cabin door, Dong Xuebin immediately said: "The warship is coming! It belongs to the Republic!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Niu Dazhao hurriedly grabbed a telescope and looked over, "It's really our warship! We can be saved! We can be saved!"
Many people screamed with excitement!
Dong Xuebin was also convinced that he was indeed waiting for the ransom! It was this group of people!
However, after looking at the pirate speedboat that was only a dozen meters behind, Dong Xuebin couldn't smile at all. He knew that the pirates were about to board the ship!
