On the sea.
The pirates' speedboats are getting closer and closer.
Niu Dazhao and his crew are making a last ditch effort to change course towards the north.
Dong Xuebing, who was on the deck, looked around and walked back to his cabin without saying a word. He opened the door and drank a glass of water to replenish his body's water. After that, he took out a fruit knife from the table and inserted it into his belt. He thought for a while and still felt it was not enough. He went to the crew room and took out two more folding knives and hid them in his belt. Folding knives are not useful to other people as pirates have guns and AK47 submachine guns. But to Dong Xuebing, knives are more than enough. He does not need to prepare so many knives.
When Dong Xuebing reached the deck, the pirates are still chasing each other.
Bang! Bang! Immediately after, a few gunshots were fired into the air. It was a huge deterrent!
Ten pirates on the four speedboats were laughing and shouting something that Dong Xuebing and his crew could not understand.
When the crew heard the gunshots, many of them were frightened. Some of them desperately looked for cover, while others ran into the cabin to avoid the bullets. They scattered in confusion.
"Put in more effort!" Niu Dazhao shouted!
"Captain! We can't hold on any longer! "
"That's right. We cannot outrun them!"
"Do all of you want to die here? Turn the rudder! Quick! "
It was chaos on the boat, and everyone was in a panic.
Suddenly, one of the crew members pointed to the back of the boat. "There is a boat there! There is a boat! "
Dong Xuebing looked over and saw two black dots. It seems there is more than one boat. Niu Dazhao and the rest of the crew use their binoculars to look.
"The boat at the back is too far away. I can't see it clearly."
"The boat in front is a cargo ship! It is from Korea! "
"It is a cargo ship! I can see it too! It is much bigger than our boat! "
"There must be some valuables on board! And their numbers are four to five times more than ours! "
After all, the cargo ship in the distance had already changed its course after hearing the gunshots. If the pirates attacked their side, they would definitely not be able to catch up to the cargo ship. The cargo on that ship was much more valuable than theirs. As long as one was not a fool, they would know which was more valuable. This also gave everyone a glimmer of hope.
Two pirates were holding binoculars. Obviously, they also saw the large cargo ship of Country H in the distance.
The gunshots stopped, and the pirates whispered to each other, discussing something. Finally, they sent a signal to the small and medium-sized pirate ship not far away. The pirate ship on the other side seemed to flash a few times and replied with an order. When the pirates on the speedboats saw this, they did not say anything else. They did not even look at the Korean cargo ships and continued to point their guns at the Chinese ships.
Niu Dazhao was annoyed as he shouted at the pirates, "Our ship is only transporting some ordinary goods! Why are you chasing after us!? "
One of the crew members could tell. "They're trying to take hostages!"
The crew members beside him also turned pale. "This is too much! This is too much! "
They were indeed going too far. These pirates only knew how to attack the ships of the Republic? Only their own countries? Ships from other countries could pass through as they pleased?
What the f * * k was this!?
What was the concept of pirates? In the beginning, it was a synonym for hijacking ships and robbing goods. But now, these pirates had gone crazy. In their eyes, hostages were many times more important than goods. This was because these hostages could be exchanged for ransom, and they could ask for as much as they wanted. This was especially so for the Chinese people. After several transactions, the pirates had tasted the sweetness of holding hostages from the Chinese, and their courage grew. They knew that the Chinese would not refuse to pay, so they did not hesitate to attack the Chinese ships again and again. Maybe to these pirates, they might not get ransom if they hijacked another country's merchant ships, and they might even get revenge on them. But if they hijacked a Chinese ship, they don't have to worry about this. With the ransom, the Chinese will not dare to touch them. In fact, they might even be afraid of the pirates' revenge. That's why they attacked the Chinese ships so crazily. Dong Xuebing's anger had reached a boiling point.
Dong Xuebing's anger had reached a boiling point and is about to explode any moment. You all had hijacked our ship, and we are worried about the hostages' safety. We don't mind you all robbing us and killing our crew members. We even paid you all the ransom. But what happened in the end? You all still target our Chinese ships?! Do it again, again, and again?! You all ignored the other countries that did not pay ransom and allowed them to pass through?! How can there be such logic?! You all are asking for death!
The more you compromise, the more scruples you have, and the more they will take advantage of you!
This is the attitude of these pirates!
Dong Xuebing looked coldly at the laughing pirates and suppressed his anger. He stood there and did not move. He was too far away and could not see if the Chinese hostages were on the pirate ship or if Qianqian was there. Dong Xuebing was only guessing if they were waiting for the warship and ransom money. That's why he did not act rashly. The timing was not right!
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
Gunshots were fired, but it was to deter the pirates. They might want to capture Qianqian alive and did not shoot at the crew members. Also, the angle was not high enough.
"Xiao Dong! What are you doing? " Niu Dazhao saw Dong Xuebing does not look like he is in danger and is still standing there calmly. He shouted in his heart. What kind of person is he?! Dong Xuebing's eyes lit up. Why is he so fearless? He doesn't even look at the bullets flying in front of him? The pirates are about to snatch the ship, and you are still standing there?! Do you want to die?! "Go back to the cabin!"
Most of the crew members had returned to the cabin.
Dong Xuebing turned around and walked back. But he did not enter the cabin. Instead, he picked up a pair of binoculars thrown on the deck and looked at the pirate ship. The pirate's ship was in ruins, and many parts of the ship were covered with rags. There were also some broken boards used to build a frame. It should be an old ship. Now, Dong Xuebing could see a pirate standing at the front of the ship through the binoculars. He has a mustache and should be their leader. There was also a speedboat left beside the main ship. From time to time, it patrolled around the main ship, as if it was a guard. It did not participate in the other speedboats' hijacking.
Is he really the leader?
Even the leader is here?
Dong Xuebing thought. If it were other pirates, the leader should not be following them. Most pirates would use their speedboats and come and go as they please. But now, the leader is here personally? Moreover, with so many speedboats and more than 20 pirates armed with guns, if the pirates on their side were divided into factions, this should be the full strength of one of the factions, right? Why is there such a large force? Are they here to rob a Chinese cargo ship? Impossible. They must be here for something else!
The more Dong Xuebing analyzed the situation, the more he felt they should be the pirates who had held the Chinese hostage a few days ago. But Dong Xuebing could not see if Qianqian was on the ship. The fishing area at the back of the ship was blocked, and he could not see what was inside!
Bang! Bang!
Another gunshot!
"Xiao Dong! Come in! " Niu Dazhao saw the pirates were about to board the ship, and he ran into the cabin to call out to Dong Xuebing.
"Captain! Close the door! "
"That's right! Just ignore him! He must be tired of living! "
"Is this guy crazy?! He is still standing in the middle of a hail of bullets?! "
Everyone felt Dong Xuebing was weird the moment he boarded the ship. If you want to go out for a walk, why don't you take a tourist ship? Why do you insist on taking a cargo ship? You even want to take a cargo ship to F State's waters?! Who doesn't know there are pirates here?! Are you bored and have nothing better to do?! Also, it is an emergency now, and bullets are flying everywhere. How can you still stand there and look at the scenery with your binoculars?! Don't you know how to write the word 'death'?! Everyone does not know what to say to Dong Xuebing.
But many people were shocked by Dong Xuebing's guts.
How many people in the world could remain unfazed under such a situation??
Dong Xuebing waved at Niu Dazhao and did not go back. He used the binoculars to check if Qianqian was on the pirate ship. But after a while, he still could not see her. Dong Xuebing changed his binoculars and looked around.
The next moment, a ship appeared in Dong Xuebing's sight!
It was not too far away, but it was not near either. That's why Dong Xuebing could not see it clearly.
When they saw the Korean cargo ship earlier, they could only see two ships. The ship behind was too far away, and they could not see it clearly. Now, the Korean cargo ship had changed course and disappeared from their sight. That ship was heading towards Dong Xuebing's location.
They are coming for us?!
They heard gunshots and still came?!
They know there are pirates here and still came?!
Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat. He felt something was amiss and quickly changed his direction to look at the ship. Suddenly, Dong Xuebing's eyes narrowed. He could see a flag on that ship. It's a Chinese ship!
More accurately, it's a Chinese warship!
Seeing Niu Dazhao was about to close the cabin door, Dong Xuebing immediately shouted. "The warship is here! It's the Chinese warship! "
Everyone was stunned. Niu Dazhao quickly grabbed a binoculars and looked over. "It's really our warship! We are saved! We are saved! "
A lot of people shouted excitedly!
Dong Xuebing also calmed down. They are waiting for the ransom! It's these people!
But when Dong Xuebing looked at the pirate ship, he could not smile. He knew the pirates are boarding the ship!
