Seven o 'clock in the morning, in the captain's room of the Dolphin cruise ship.
"Captain." Before Deaf entered the cabin, he walked to the captain's side and cut to the chase. "There's a situation on the island, I hope you can take a look at it."
The captain of the Dolphin was called Joseph Campbell. He was an experienced captain in his sixties.
Seeing that Before Deaf came to visit, Joseph's expression did not change much. He only responded calmly, "What's wrong? Someone is finally seriously injured … Do we need to mobilize the helicopter? "He tried to guess.
"That's not it." Before Deaf replied, "Please take a look at this …" As he spoke, he picked up the tablet that he carried with him and pulled up a video. "This is the footage that we took an hour ago."
The video that Before Deaf played was the part where the pirates took Pus Splitter away. The video was not very long, it only took a few minutes because Pus Splitter did not put up much resistance before he was taken away by the pirates.
"Hmm …" After Captain Joseph finished watching, he was silent for a moment. "What do you mean by showing me this?"
"Of course, I'm asking for your opinion." Before Deaf said, "Who do you think those people are?"
"I don't know." Joseph could not be bothered to answer the question. "But I know what to do next …" He paused for a moment and turned to look into the pair of eyes that were not deaf yet. "You and your boys have to stop filming immediately and withdraw from the island. And I … will call the coast guard now. "
"Wait!" Before Deaf saw that the other party had already reached for the walkie-talkie, he quickly reached out and grabbed Joseph's elbow and dissuaded him. "Is this necessary?" He said in a low voice, "Joseph, you have to think this through … The production cost of our show is very high, and we're already halfway through filming. Do you know what it means to reshoot?"
"That has nothing to do with me." Joseph's tone was firm. "You paid me to ensure that this ship of people can come and go safely. I've been paid, so naturally, I have to do my job well. " He shook off the hand that wasn't deaf yet. "Don't tell me about the production cost or the filming progress … I only know that at this moment, there is a group of unidentified militants not far from us, and they have already captured a passenger on our ship." He raised his hand and pointed to the console beside him. "The worst thing is … I didn't see anything on the radar. This means that those people either appeared out of thin air, or they came here on some kind of anti-reconnaissance vehicle. " He took half a step forward and lowered his voice. "It's impossible for a civilian ship to carry that kind of equipment, and they don't look like regular soldiers at all. So … they're either pirates, drug lords, or both." When he said this, he mimicked the tone of the person who had spoken earlier and asked, "Do you know what it means to be targeted by these people?"
After listening to the captain's words, the expression on his face changed several times. Of course, he still did not show any signs of panic.
After a few seconds, the person who was not deaf seemed to have made up his mind and replied, "Okay … Joseph, I think you're right. Notify the coast guard." As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the cabin. "I'm responsible for contacting and recalling the staff on the island and selecting …"
Boom!
His words were interrupted by a loud noise.
Along with the noise, the entire ship shook violently.
"What's going on?" Captain Joseph's shout rang out immediately. The old captain almost fell to the ground under the impact. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the edge of the console to fall to one knee.
"Captain! The hull has been hit! The second engine is damaged, and the rear cabin is flooded! "A crew member who was originally sitting at the console climbed back to his seat and looked at the screen and responded loudly.
"Seal the rear cabin! Call for backup, quick! "The captain roared.
"What's going on? Joseph? " The person at the door was not deaf (he was standing at the door when the impact happened. He held onto the door frame and did not fall). "What's going on?"
"God knows!" Joseph pressed the captain's hat on his head with one hand and stood up with the other. "Maybe it was hit by a large marine creature, maybe …"
Squeak — Woo —
At this time, a dull, loud sound of metal rubbing suddenly came from the stern of the ship, covering the captain's voice.
"Damn it!" The person who was not deaf cursed, then rushed out of the door and ran along the deck toward the source of the sound.
During this process, the sound of metal rubbing did not stop for a moment, and … with this sound, the hull began to gradually tilt, and the stern side of the ship became higher and higher …
However, the physical fitness of the person who was not deaf was surprisingly good. Even though he was going "uphill", he quickly reached the stern of the ship and witnessed with his own eyes …
"Oh! God! "The scene in front of him shocked the person who was not deaf.
At this moment, the stern of the cruise ship had a huge gap. In the gap, lumps of green semi-solidified material were constantly pouring out. The material expanded violently after it came into contact with the sea water, then quickly solidified into solid metal …
Magically, this metal did not show any signs of sinking in the sea water. It floated strongly on the surface of the sea and pushed the stern of the Dolphin upward, causing the entire ship to tilt.
"Metal condensation torpedo …" The person who was not deaf immediately calmed down and recognized the true face of this material. The next second, he grabbed the railing, stretched his neck, and began to look around the sea attentively.
About ten seconds later, what he was looking for appeared …
A submarine with a skull logo on the hull slowly emerged from the sea and broke through the waves from the side of the Dolphin. In the blink of an eye, it was within two hundred meters.
"Damn it! It's a pirate … "When the person who was not deaf saw the shadow of the submarine, he knew that the situation was not right. He immediately turned around and rushed to the captain's room again.
"Joseph! There are pirates! They are already here! "The person who was not deaf almost shouted into the captain's room.
"James …" Looking at the person who was not deaf stumbling into the cabin, Captain Joseph announced the bad news, "Our communication signal is blocked."
"What!" The person who was not deaf was shocked.
"The pirate ship must have a blocking interference device for remote signals. We … can't contact the Coast Guard …" Joseph took off his hat, "We may not even be able to send out a distress signal."
"Abandon the ship, Joseph! Escape to the island first! "The person who was not deaf stepped forward.
"It's useless, look." Joseph said as he reached out and pressed a few buttons on the console to bring up the image of the bow camera. "Look … they have already foreseen our possible reaction. When the torpedo sounded just now, more than a dozen pirates hiding underwater rushed ashore and occupied the beach … In broad daylight, it's impossible for us to bypass the armed criminals. "
Gulp —
Now that things had come to this, even the one with a willpower as strong as iron who was able to handle everything with ease and ease fell heavily onto the chair, revealing a look of despair.
"Hah —" Captain Joseph sighed deeply, "Maybe, this is fate." He shook his head slightly. "I wanted to retire after this mission, but I didn't expect … Haha …" He raised the death flag without hesitation, and then said to the man who was not deaf, "You don't have to worry too much, James. You are all important people, they won't simply kill you. Pirates … they just want ransom. When the time comes, the government will definitely come to rescue … "
"Hey!" Suddenly, the person who was not deaf had something flash in his mind. He suddenly shouted and interrupted Joseph's words, "Joseph, you said that the remote signal is blocked. What about the short and medium range signal?" He quickly continued, "For example … here, and the communication on the island?"
Joseph frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "Well … this … should still be possible …"
Before he finished, the person who was not deaf jumped up from the chair, grabbed the walkie-talkie on the console, and turned to a crew member a few meters away, "Switch to the regional frequency! Quick! "
Hearing that, the crew member was at a loss, but Captain Joseph quickly gave him a look of certainty, "Do as he says."
Therefore, five seconds later, the voice of the person who was not deaf rang out in all the communication devices in the region …
"To all those who have heard this content! Attention! This is an emergency! I am James Francis, Not Deaf, and I am talking to you on the Dolphin cruise ship! Right now, our cruise ship is under attack by a group of pirates! Repeat! Pirates are attacking us! Everyone who heard me, if you are still on the island, please hide! And try to seek help from the outside world! I will do my best to destroy the surveillance equipment on the ship to prevent you from being tracked by the pirates! "
The person who was not deaf used a fast, loud and clear voice to repeat the message twice, and then handed the walkie-talkie to Captain Joseph, "Continue the broadcast, Joseph. Do not stop until someone rushes in."
"Understood," Joseph took the walkie-talkie, immediately put it to his mouth, and began to repeat the words of the person who was not deaf.
As for the person who was not deaf, he quickly rushed out of the captain's room and ran to the surveillance cabin …
…
On the other side, in the pirate submarine.
"There seems to be a pretty smart guy on the other ship …" Max listened to the broadcast and sneered, "Heh … as a director, this person is pretty good. He is calm in the face of danger, and his command is reasonable … "
"Son." At this time, Gray Beard spoke, "There is something you don't know …" For some reason, his tone and expression were particularly cold, "This' Not Deaf '… is much better than you think …"
