In a certain period of history, pirates had been roaming the Arctic Circle. For example, the famous and notorious Viking pirates liked to drill into the Arctic Circle.
It was well known that there was no business around the Arctic Circle, especially in the Arctic Ocean, but it was precisely because there were few people that it was easy to avoid official arrest.
It was even said that the famous island of Greenland was discovered by pirates and was originally a pirate base.
In modern society, the word pirates was far removed from the general public. Only the Somali Sea and some remote waters in Africa had these pirates.
Li Du did not expect to encounter such things in the Arctic Circle, and when he heard the captain's shout, he hurried to the bow of the ship to see.
A ship was approaching them. It looked like a cargo ship, but there were no containers on it. A flagpole was erected at the bow of the ship, and a black flag was hung on the flagpole. The flag had a pale skull and a sickle on it.
There was a distance between the two sides, and they had to rely on binoculars to observe each other.
Young Ford looked through the binoculars and laughed. "These are really pirates with socialist characteristics, with a sickle under the skull. Are they going to harvest wheat after the robbery?"
Steve said calmly, "Be serious, what happened today is not right. Our luck is bad, isn't it? Pirates on our first trip out to sea? "
Big Ford said, "If that's the case, it's a little bad."
"What are you talking about?" Young Ford asked.
Li Du smiled helplessly. Is this guy here to act cute? He explained, "What Steve and your brother mean is that this may not be a coincidence. We are being watched, and they are coming for us. If that's the case, it will be very bad."
If they encountered pirates by chance, they were well armed. Brother Wolf and his men were armed to the teeth and had a full set of modern combat equipment.
But if the other side was coming for them, they would certainly be prepared and bring more powerful weapons, which they might not be able to deal with.
Their cargo ship was called the Ice Sea Narwhal. When they found the pirates, the captain immediately began to slow down and at the same time jerked the rudder to turn away.
A few crew members nervously prepared for a possible battle. They took out the shotguns they had hidden in the boat. Some people set up their harpoons on the side of the boat. Someone else waved at Li Du and the others. "Go to the cabin and hide!"
Brother Wolf and his men finished changing and walked out of the cabin. They looked at the old rifles in the hands of the crew members and asked suspiciously, "Are you going to protect us after we enter the cabin?"
The captain and the crew looked at them in shock. A few of them looked at the rifles in their hands and then at their equipment. One by one, they threw away their shotguns and covered their heads with their hands.
One of the crewmen moaned, "Oh, God, what's going on? I have a feeling we're in trouble. "
From the way Brother Wolf and the others were dressed, it was obvious that they were not ordinary people. In such a lawless place, getting involved with these people would more or less lead to some trouble in the future.
Firecracker laughed and patted the captain on the shoulder. He said, "Now we're all in trouble. No, we're not in trouble. Trouble has come to us. Let's find a way to deal with these damn pirates first."
Elson was afraid that there would be danger in the crossfire and went up to persuade Steve to go back to the cabin to hide.
Steve laughed carelessly and said, "About eighty years ago, my great-grandfather sailed on this sea. They must have been in trouble. I want to know if he ran into trouble at that time. Did he run to the cabin to hide?"
Elson said, "That's different, son. Your great-grandfather was the captain. He needed to take the lead, and you are not the captain …"
"Then even if I don't have to take the lead, I can't hide behind the soldiers. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a disgrace to the name of the Tussenberg family?" Steve smiled.
Vika nodded heavily and said, "In the face of danger, a man must face it head-on, not hide behind others and walk the path that others have taken."
Seeing her appear, Steve stopped laughing and quickly waved his hand. "Why are you here at this time? Hurry back! God, why did you bring Kuafu out? "
A rope was tied around the neck of the fat manul, and the other end of the rope was in Vika's hand. It was like walking a dog.
The Ice Sea Narwhal was not a large ship, so it was relatively easy to turn. The captain wanted to turn to the nearest coast, but they were already very far away. It would take some time to get there.
The pirate ship chased after them. Although they were both freighters, their ship was faster. It had only been twenty minutes since they discovered the Ice Sea Narwhal, and the distance between the two ships had been reduced by half.
"Damn it, captain, go faster!" a crew member shouted anxiously.
The captain was also very anxious and shouted, "There's nothing on their ship. The cars on our ship alone weigh dozens of tons, and there are so many people and so many supplies. How can we go faster? How can we get away from them? "
Even if there were no cars or people on board, the speed of the Ice Sea Narwhal was not as fast as that of the pirate ship. After all, they relied on speed to make a living. Although it looked like a freighter, it could be expected that the ship's power system had been strengthened.
Li Du clapped his hands and said, "Let's get ready for battle. Brother Wolf, you take command and deploy the line of defense."
Brother Wolf nodded, gathered a few of their bodyguards, and began to arrange the firepower according to the guns and weapons.
In terms of firepower, they were quite strong, with more than thirty guns. However, guns were not banned in Russia. During the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of powerful weapons were lost among the people.
Since the pirates made a living, their weapons would not be bad. Brother Wolf thought that they might have guns on board. Once the other side had guns, their range and firepower would be inferior.
Brother Wolf told Li Du and the others about his conjecture. Li Du was frowning in thought when another crew member shouted, "Damn, our luck is bad! Our luck is bad! Turn around quickly, there's an iceberg in front of us! "
They wanted to sail in the direction of the coast, but an iceberg slowly floated and blocked their way. It was really a wolf in the front and a tiger in the back. As the crew said, they were really unlucky.
The iceberg was very big. Just floating on the sea, it was as high as a three-story building. According to the theory of icebergs, it was possible to know how big the part hidden under the water was. If a small boat like theirs came into contact with it, it would definitely be overturned and smashed into pieces!
Li Du picked up his binoculars and looked at the iceberg in the distance. The iceberg was white and crystal, and it was unknown where it came from. Along the way, the wind blew and the waves hit, and pieces of ice fell into the water, setting off huge waves.
Looking carefully at the iceberg, he suddenly had an idea.
