One day passed.
Two days passed.
Dong Xuebing woke up early in the morning and got out of bed. He lit a cigarette and walked out to the deck to look around. He is still in the deep sea, and the mainland is nowhere to be seen. Other than the sea, he is still far from his destination. Taking a boat is not as fast as a train or plane. Dong Xuebing was prepared for this and knows he cannot rush.
"Brother." Dong Xuebing called out to a sailor.
That sailor put down what he was holding and turned to look at Dong Xuebing. "What's wrong?"
"Can I ask you something?" Dong Xuebing asked. "How far are we from the pirate's territory?"
The sailor had a weird look on his face. "A few days ago, a ship was hijacked, and the captain asked us to take a detour. But this area should be considered the pirate's territory." He pointed to the west. "That's the base of the pirates. They don't even have a government. Our current location should be quite far from the pirates, but it's hard to say if we'll bump into them. Let's pray for the best."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "This is it?"
The sailor nodded. "It's around midnight. Didn't you see everyone's expression?"
Dong Xuebing looked around and saw the sailors on the deck were on alert. He asked. "Do you know how many pirates there are? They are split into different factions? "
The sailor replied. "I don't know the exact number, but there should be more than one leader. I heard there are many of them, and they are competing with each other."
"Which group of pirates hijacked our ship a few days ago?"
"I don't know. Actually, I had not seen them before. If I had seen them, we might not be able to escape. Those pirates' boats are much faster than us."
"Ok. Thank you."
The sailor continued. "I don't want to scold you, but you should not have come."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Thank you for reminding me."
The crew member wanted to say something, but he did not say anything when he saw Dong Xuebing's expression.
These few days, all the crew members had met Dong Xuebing and knew he is here for sightseeing. He seems to be here to experience life. Everyone shook their heads. Although they admire Dong Xuebing's courage, they still feel he is too arrogant. There are so many ships and routes, and the chances of encountering pirates is low. But it is not absolute. If they really encounter pirates, they might be killed by the pirates. No one expected Dong Xuebing to come here for sightseeing. Even these few sailors, if not for their poor families, they would have quit long ago. If they were rich, who would risk their lives to run this route?
Many crew members are discussing Dong Xuebing in private.
"This kid is really not afraid of death."
"I think he's just spoiled and doesn't know anything, right?"
"But it's good that you haven't gotten seasick after sailing for so many days."
"Look at his small body. I don't know how much longer he can last. What's the point of traveling at this time?"
"Yeah, if he meets pirates, I think his legs will turn to jelly."
"Pfft! What are you talking about? "
"That's right. Everything will be smooth sailing!"
Dong Xuebing could vaguely hear the discussions of the sailors around him, but he pretended not to hear them. He stared at the pirate's base for a long time, deep in thought. China's warships should have set sail the day after he left, and Dong Xuebing is not sure if they had reached this area. Qianqian should still be in the hands of the pirates, and Dong Xuebing is thinking about how to meet his daughter. Should he go to the pirate's base? But all he can see is the sea, and it's impossible. Should he use STOP to avoid the crowd when he reaches land? Should he look for those pirates again?
Dong Xuebing thought for a while and felt the latter has a higher chance of success. So, he came up with an idea and went through the plan in his mind.
Five minutes …
Ten minutes …
Half an hour …
Suddenly, someone on the deck shouted.
"Eh, that's …"
"There's a ship in front!"
"Captain! Captain! "
Dong Xuebing also saw a white object in front of him.
Niu Dazhao walked up to the deck with a pair of binoculars. Suddenly, Niu Dazhao's face changed. "Quick, change course! It's pirates! "
"What?"
"Pirates?"
The crew panicked!
Niu Dazhao shouted. "These bastards! Why are they coming from so far away? Why are they stopping there? What are they trying to do? Who are they waiting for? "
Generally, pirates were responsible for hijacking ships using some speedboats. They were lifeboats that were used by some staff members who stayed around when they went boating in the park. They were similar to that one, but they were extremely fast and easy to move around. Therefore, when they first saw a ship that was several times larger than a speedboat, the crew did not think much of it. Who would have thought that it was actually a pirate? The pirate ship was still parked there waiting quietly? This is beyond their knowledge!
Niu Dazhao shouted. "Quick! Change course now! "
Everyone had an anxious look on their faces as they busied themselves with work!
"Shit!" Suddenly, Niu Dazhao, who was holding the binoculars, shouted. "They are coming! They are coming towards us! There are a few speedboats beside them! "
Speedboats?
Speedboats?
Everyone's faces paled, and they panicked.
In the face of death, the crew did everything they could.
But their cargo ship's speed is not as fast as the pirates' speedboats. Everyone saw the pirates getting closer and closer!
It's over!
There's no way to hide!
Niu Dazhao knew they had lost and threw the binoculars on the deck. "These bastards! Brothers! We are going to die anyway! Let's fight them to the death! "
But no one responded to him.
Fight? The pirates have guns. How can they fight?
If they surrendered, the country could still pay a ransom for them, and they might still have a chance to live. However, if they resisted, they would definitely lose their lives!
The crew members were all filled with grief and indignation.
Niu Dazhao had only said those words out of anger. He sighed and did not say anything else.
Only Dong Xuebing was looking at those white dots calmly. He narrowed his eyes and stared at them. The pirates' ships had been anchored there all this while? They even sent out a few speedboats and a main ship? Why was that? Did they know they would take this route? This was obviously impossible. Could it be that these pirates were the ones who kidnapped Qianqian? Did they make arrangements with the Chinese warships to trade here? Were they waiting for the Republic's warships to arrive by docking there early? This is possible!
Dong Xuebing sneered!
I did not look for you all, and you all came to me?
Good timing! You saved me a lot of effort!
