The hostages in the cave had not recovered from the fight just now. When everyone saw the two corpses on the ground with blood spurting out from their heads, no one made a sound of surprise. They had experienced too many things in this day and faced too many deaths. Their nerves had long developed an immunity to it, and they were already used to seeing dead people.
A few brave young men asked, "Tell us, what do you want us to do?"
Seeing that no one had any objections, Du Yuan walked into the crowd and said in a low voice, "Everyone stay in the cave for a while. I'll take some people out to explore the way and see what's going on outside."
Du Yuan only said half of what he wanted to say. The first half of what he said was true, but he didn't say the second half because the purpose of going out to explore was to escape. If they wanted to escape, they would definitely need a boat. He considered that if they couldn't find a suitable boat, how could the fifty people in this cave escape from this island? So he thought that he would first take Li Shiya out to explore the way and see the situation before making a plan.
No one had any objections to Du Yuan's decision. At this moment, they had become pirates' captives. The worst outcome was death, but who would want to die? Everyone hoped to escape. Now, every time there was danger, warriors would come to rescue everyone. Previously, when the terrorists hijacked the plane, two warriors took it back from them. Now, on this deserted island, there was another warrior who killed the pirates and tried to rescue everyone.
Everyone was deeply convinced by Du Yuan's words, because there had been a lot of news on the Internet about Somali pirates taking hostages and killing hostages. No one wanted to be imprisoned and abused by pirates, so everyone wanted to escape. Now that Du Yuan had given everyone the hope of escape, of course, everyone was willing to believe him.
Seeing that everyone was so cooperative, Du Yuan felt a little relieved. Then he looked around the crowd, waved to Li Shiya, and said, "Little Li, come with me. Let's go out and explore the way."
Li Shiya didn't understand why Brother Du chose her. She was just a weak woman, how could she be suitable to explore the way? However, she didn't think much about it and followed Brother Du's footsteps. Among so many people, the only person who could give Li Shiya a sense of security was Du Yuan. She felt that the others were not reliable, especially the fat man who pulled her into the sea in the afternoon.
Du Yuan turned off the flashlight in his hand and put his finger on the trigger of the assault rifle. He was ready to fight at any time. The two sneaked out of the cave.
It was midnight, and there was a big fire burning at the entrance of the cave. Du Yuan and Li Shiya saw the bonfire as soon as they came out of the cave. Next to the bonfire, two black men were holding a rifle in one hand and a beer bottle in the other. After finishing a bottle, the two black men shook the empty beer bottles in their hands at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled, speaking in an African dialect.
Du Yuan whispered to Li Shiya who was behind him, "Little Li, follow behind me later. Don't make a sound, understand?"
Li Shiya nodded and replied, "Okay."
Du Yuan had no choice but to be cautious, because in his line of sight, although he only saw two pirates, the remaining dozen pirates were nowhere to be seen. Du Yuan didn't know where they were at this time. Perhaps when he escaped with Li Shiya, they just happened to bump into those pirates who didn't appear, and that would be terrible.
Du Yuan took Li Shiya's hand and slowly pulled her forward. In order to avoid the fire, the two deliberately walked into the bushes. Fortunately, the trees on the island were lush, and the two black men were drinking happily at this time, so they didn't pay attention to them.
In this way, Du Yuan and Li Shiya crawled forward in fear for more than 20 meters, but they were still not discovered by the two pirates.
Du Yuan was also secretly glad in his heart. Seeing the dark forest in front of him, Du Yuan's heart was full of hope, because as long as they crawled forward for more than 10 meters, they would be completely out of the range of the fire. At that time, he would be able to fly freely in the sky and swim freely in the sea.
Li Shiya seemed to feel the joy in Du Yuan's heart. She quietly looked behind her and found that her position was getting farther and farther away from the two black ghosts. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that she could finally escape.
She saw Du Yuan in front of her start to crawl outside again, and she hurriedly followed. But at this time, because her hands and feet were crawling too fast, one of her feet accidentally touched a small tree next to her. Her foot collided with the tree, causing a vibration. The branches and leaves on the tree suddenly shook and made a rustling sound.
When the leaves rustled, it immediately alerted the two pirates who were drinking. These two pirates had drunk more than a dozen bottles of beer tonight, but they weren't the slightest bit drunk. Their minds were still very clear. When the two heard the sound, they turned around and saw Du Yuan and Li Shiya who were about to escape. They immediately grabbed their assault rifles and aimed at Li Shiya who was behind them. As they ran, they ran towards them while muttering something in their mouths.
"It's over, we've been discovered!"
Du Yuan was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect these two black men to be so powerful. They had thrown so many beer bottles on the ground, but they were still not drunk. Seeing that the two were going to grab their guns, Du Yuan didn't have time to think. He picked up the AK47 machine gun in his hand and fired. Two double shots, four bullets were fired, and the two black men were immediately killed on the ground.
After killing the two, Du Yuan took Li Shiya's hand and said, "Quick, run with me!"
Du Yuan didn't have time to explain. He pulled Li Shiya and fled frantically in the woods because he knew that these two black men and the two who died in the cave were only the pirates who were responsible for guarding them tonight. The real main force must be camped somewhere nearby. Just now, he had fired four single shots. Such a loud gunshot could spread more than ten miles in this quiet night. Even if those pirates were stupid, it was impossible for them to set their base camp dozens of miles away from the cave. It was very likely that it was nearby.
Sure enough, just after Du Yuan killed the two men with his gun, there was a loud noise on the other side of the cave. Then, there were several leaders who looked like captains shouting loudly, as if they were calling for reinforcements. In the woods hundreds of meters away, the sound of a machine gun rang out. The bullets of the assault rifle were clearly visible in the darkness.
Du Yuan didn't have time to think. He pulled Li Shiya and began to run. He remembered that when they were escorted into the cave by the pirates today, they took the same route. When the hostages got off the ship, Du Yuan clearly remembered that the ship was anchored by the sea over there. But if he only relied on the AK47 in his hand and two magazines full of ammunition, it was impossible to seize a ship from a group of pirates. There was only one way for him now, and that was to escape.
Yes, it was to escape. He wanted to use mobile warfare to pin down these pirates. Only by constantly moving could he eliminate the enemy's effective strength.
Du Yuan calculated that there were a lot of pirates on this ship. Although they could take more than fifty hostages, the number of pirates was more than the number of hostages. When on the ship, Du Yuan silently counted in his heart. Including the leader, Hassan, there were about seventy or eighty pirates on the ship. Although their weapons were miscellaneous, some used relatively new AK47s, and some used grandfather-level pistols and rifles from World War II, even if their weapons were outdated, if so many pirates came to chase him and Li Shiya, he would not be able to fight back at all. If he wanted to live, he had to escape.
Of the seventy or eighty pirates, he had just killed four of them. Four people was equivalent to scratching an itch for the pirates. Du Yuan silently calculated in his heart. With so many pirates, it was estimated that there would be at least a dozen or twenty of them sent to chase him and Li Shiya. After all, they had to leave at least one person to guard the hostages. If all of them came to chase him, then the hostages would all run away. At that time, without hostages, how could Hassan ask the International Navy for ransom?
However, even if there were a dozen or twenty of them, it would be a huge problem for him because he did not have much ammunition.
Sure enough, there were a lot of pirates who were ordered to chase them. The shouting just now was just the exclamation of the Black Devils when they heard the gunshots because they thought that it was the International Navy coming to rescue the hostages. Later, after figuring out the situation, they realized that it was not the International Navy coming, but someone among the hostages who had stolen the guns, killed the hostages, and escaped.
Hassan was furious when he learned about the process of the matter. He immediately ordered one of his team leaders to take two squads of people to chase after them. He was determined to catch the person who killed his men. He wanted to cut off his head with his own hands and use it as a sacrifice to the souls of the dead.
The team leader in charge of leading the pursuit was called Abbas. He was a poor farmer in his hometown. Because he was forced to make a living, he followed Hassan to engage in the extremely promising profession of piracy. Because his marksmanship was more accurate, he was appointed as a team leader by Hassan.
Abbas led two squads of his squad, a total of fifteen people. Each of them wielded a variety of weapons as they chased into the depths of the forest. He wanted nothing more than to immediately cut off the murderer's head, because one of the four people who had died was his younger brother.
Abbas swore that he would catch that abominable person with his own hands and avenge his brother with his own hands.
