Chapter 199: Landing in London
"Bounty hunters, it's similar to my office, one waits for money and the other makes money, and they all do the same thing. ”
Hearing the sailor's words, Ding Xiaofan pondered for a moment and replied, "Okay, it will take a while for me to recover my magic power anyway, and now that we have deviated from the course and are far away from the land of China, it will be regarded as a tour." ”
"It's a pity that before leaving, I promised to send Beja to the northeast, but I can't go now. ”
After that, Ding Xiaofan glanced at Bei Ya, who was sitting on the deck grilling fish and tofu.
Hearing this, Bei Ya swallowed the fish tofu in her mouth and said happily, "It doesn't matter, anyway, my parents rarely go to my grandmother's house when they are still alive, and I will go to the Northeast when I have time in the future, I think it is fun to travel with you." ”
"Don't look at us, I said back on Nevsky Street, we will follow you wherever you go!"
"Me too!"
"Yes, we decided you! I think Jem would have agreed if he were alive!"
"I don't care, anyway, you just don't forget to take me to China to find friends, and before that, you can go anywhere. ”
With the unanimous approval of Bei Ya, Sanjie and Jiu Lao Mao, Ding Xiaofan shouted at the sailors, "Okay! ”
"Great! With a few of you joining, we will definitely make a lot of money! When the time comes, I'm afraid even S.-class missions can be easily completed!"
"It's not just S.-class missions, if you're lucky, you can become a famous bounty team, and even go down in history. Damn, I feel excited just by imagining it, I can't wait!"
"Hahahaha! You white-eyed wolf is less stinky and beautiful, and you are still going down in history? Let's make the first pot of gold first! But before that, ......"
As soon as the old sailor's voice fell, before Ding Xiaofan and the others could react, the sailors' lifeboats slammed into the side of Ding Xiaofan's lifeboats.
"Bang!"
The lifeboat was hit and shook violently, causing Ding Xiaofan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, to fall firmly and almost fall into the sea.
"What are you doing! I'm sick! I said I wanted to team up with you, but I didn't say I wanted to die with you!"
Rubbing his red and swollen head, Ding Xiaofan roared at the old sailor who was in charge of driving the lifeboat with resentment, "If you do this again, I'll be polite to you!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I should have told you first, it was my negligence. ”
As he spoke, the old sailor walked to the edge of the lifeboats and pressed on the right and left wings of the two lifeboats.
"Click, click, boom!"
With a burst of operation by the old sailor, the two lifeboats turned out to be a huge yacht.
However, it is strange that the original one cockpit is now two, but as long as one of the cockpits is working, the entire ship can be controlled.
That is, after the merger, not only the area and horsepower have increased, but as long as one of the cockpits is not damaged, its performance will not be affected.
"Wow! This thing is amazing! It still fits!"
Walking on the wide deck that was patched together, Jemai couldn't help but sigh.
"Hey, hey, it's called the Solidarity! Invented by our Captain Ferrol, if you combine all the lifeboats, you can turn it into a miniature cruise ship!"
As he spoke, the old sailor beckoned the other six sailors to bring a few tables and chairs, "You also have them under the cockpit, so let's move them all over, and by the way, bring the electric oven here." ”
So, not long after, a wooden table five or six meters long and about two meters wide spanned the deck of the lifeboat.
"Yo! there's an extra chair. Let's use it to release raw meat slices. ”
Moving the extra chair aside, the old sailor took the lead in sitting down on the top of the giant wooden table near the electric oven, "Come on, come on, idle anyway, idle is idle, play a few cards, and discuss the formation of a team by the way." ”
"Hey, why can't you read the cards clearly? Squid, turn on all the lights! It's so dark, even if a search and rescue team passes by, they can't see us!"
After that, the old sailor drew a deck of cards on the left and right, shuffled the two decks of cards in the way of the God of Gamblers, and placed them on both sides of the table.
"Little girl, why are you sitting here by yourself?
Seeing Beya sitting alone by the electric grill and roasting meat, the squid kindly said to him, "If you don't have any money, your uncle can lend you some, and it's okay if you don't pay it back." ”
Hearing this, Beya shook her head, "I have money, but I can only play kitten fishing." ”
"That's right, then be careful yourself, don't get burned. ”
Walking over to the wooden table and sitting down, the squid shouted in the direction of the cockpit, "White-eyed wolf, put two."
The cockpit on the side is all set to autopilot, take the deck to play with the little girl for a while kitten fishing, anyway, you won't play anything else, by the way to protect her safety. ”
"Okay!"
After refreshingly responding to the outside, and setting the cockpits on both sides to autopilot, the white-eyed wolf walked out of the cockpit with a deck of playing cards.
"Let's talk about the rules first, we play fried gold flowers, one hundred rubles as the base, a minimum of one hundred rubles for a single bet, a maximum of one thousand rubles, the total bet is not capped, a total of two decks of cards, every ten sets of a pair. ”
Handing one of the decks to a middle-aged sailor with two pistols on his chest, the old sailor continued, "You all know the size of the cards, water ghost, deal the cards. ”
After the old sailor finished talking about the betting rules, Ding Xiaofan and the other ten people put the ante bets on the table, and the middle-aged man known as the water ghost began to deal cards.
"A hundred dull. ”
"I don't look at it either, it's a hundred with you. ”
"Follow!"
"It's better to watch the first game, I don't want it!"
"I'll take you a hundred, and I'll raise a hundred. ”
“......”
After the cards were dealt, almost everyone symbolically followed a circle, only those who had seen the cards chose to give up, except for Ding Xiaofan.
Damn! Take this kind of card in the first hand, I might as well not look at it!
Looking at the two, three, five in his hand, Ding Xiaofan subconsciously slapped the table and shouted, "What kind of ghost card is this!
Seeing this, the squid almost fell off the chair, "Dude, I'm bored with two hundred, you look at the cards, as long as five hundred is enough, betting on one thousand is a raise." ”
Hearing this, Ding Xiaofan pressed the cards on the table and said pretentiously, "If you raise, you will raise, why don't I raise such a big card? ”
"I don't want it. ”
"So arrogant, I don't look at the cards with you!"
"It's stuffy, five hundred. ”
"Oh yes, I'll give it up too. ”
After the second lap, it was squid's turn again.
"I don't have confidence? It's ridiculous! If you don't look at the cards, you don't look at the cards, I'll follow!"
With that, the squid threw five hundred rubles on the table, held a cigar in his mouth, and glanced at Ding Xiaofan meaningfully.
However, Ding Xiaofan didn't even look at the squid, and directly threw a thousand rubles on the table.
The squid was a little panicked and subconsciously wanted to look at the cards, but he still couldn't help but didn't stretch out his hand.
It seems that this kid's card is indeed not small, but it's a pity that he is a stunned young man and is too impulsive. How can you have a poker face when playing cards!
Thinking to himself, the old sailor looked at his cards.
"I'll follow!"
Throwing a thousand rubles on the table, the old sailor quietly clasped the three A. in front of him, and then took a sip of his teacup.
"The old fox is so calm and relaxed, the card is definitely not small, I don't want a small pair. ”
"I don't want it either. ”
"Damn! Why is your luck so bad! Draw this kind of card for the first hand!"
"Don't! Don't!"
"Give up. ”
The old fox's cards are also so prosperous?
Seeing that the others had lost their cards after reading them, the squid, who was already weak-hearted, hurriedly looked at his cards.
Two-three-five?
Looking at the cards in his hand, the squid thought to himself: If any of them catches a leopard, I won't win! But what if none of them are there? Or, if that Oriental boy bets with me, I will lose!
Forget it, let's play a little more stable in the first game.
After making a decision, the squid threw away the cards in his hand and pretended to say, "I won't play this one, let you go first, and you can fight each other." Dude, beware of being bitten by foxes!"
Seeing that the old sailor looked calm and unhurried and fought to the end, Ding Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little weak, but he threw a thousand rubles on the table, "I'll follow!"
"Hahahaha! Young people have courage! Anyway, there are only two of us left, and I don't want to win too much of you in the first game, let's open the cards!"
As he spoke, the old sailor took the lead in turning over his cards, "I'm three of a kind A., how are you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm two-three-five, and I'm not a golden flower, I eat your leopard!"
Turning over his hole cards, Ding Xiaofan received all the banknotes on the table in front of him with a smile on his face, "I'm really sorry, according to the rules, you have to give me double the happy money, that is, four thousand rubles." ”
"Damn! You're in luck for this game. Again, the real winner is the last laugh, the water ghost deals!"
While speaking, the old sailor reluctantly took out four thousand rubles and handed it over to Ding Xiaofan.
Soon, after playing a few more cards, Ding Xiaofan and the others and the sailors got to know each other and became familiar with each other.
The sailors knew the origin and names of Ding Xiaofan and others, and Ding Xiaofan and others also figured out the background of the sailors and learned the secrets behind the Sotos freighter.
First of all, the sailors did not have names, and they had the impression that all sailors were called each other by code names.
For example, the old sailor got the code name of the old fox because he was good at calculation.
A middle-aged sailor who wears a dark red turban all day long is called a squid because the shape of the turban looks like a squid.
The white-eyed wolf who accompanies Beya to play kitten fishing is because of the white eye in his left eye and a pair of claws as sharp as a wolf, and he is as cruel and ruthless as a wolf when facing enemies.
The water ghost who is responsible for shuffling and issuing cards has a hideous face like a ghost, and the most important thing is his unordinary water nature, without wearing any diving equipment, he can dive into the water for more than two hours, and can dive up to 274 meters.
In addition, the water ghost is also very strong in swimming, and it is said that he once swam more than 10 kilometers in one go to catch a great white shark until he caught a great white shark weighing about 2,000 kilograms with his bare hands.
As for the three younger sailors, they were called: The Lobster, the Heavy Gunner, and the Scientist.
Among them, the lobster has a strong grip and can easily crush the pebbles with one hand, as if it has a pair of lobster tongs.
The heavy gunner's fist was ten tons away from the impact alone, and the punch that blasted out was as devastating as a heavy artillery, once bursting the chest of a muscular man with a single punch, and was called a humanoid ghost along with the water ghost.
The scientist, as the name suggests, is a scientific maniac who combines biology, chemistry, physics, computer programs, mechanical technology, lathe technology, and astronomy and geography.
However, as good as they were, the memories of the days before they became sailors are unreserved.
According to the old fox, scientists are secretly working on devices that can allow people to retrieve memory fragments, but for some reason, after so many years, his research has stayed at the starting point.
The most terrifying thing is that everyone except the old fox naturally thinks that the scientist has actually just started to do this research, and even he thinks so himself.
Scientists often tell other sailors with surprise on their faces that they dreamed yesterday that they had made a breakthrough, and then plunged headlong into the laboratory, day after day, year after year.
Secondly, the sailors did not even have any memories of their own past, but they had a vague set of memories of Captain Ferrol, and each version had some details that were different, and they often quarreled over such things.
The most classic example is that all sailors know that Captain Ferrol has a sea monster, but the sailors have a lot of controversy about the appearance of this sea monster.
Some say it's a weird-looking cyclops, some say it's a giant eye, some say it's a sea worm with a sucker and a bloody mouth, and some say it's a giant octopus-like monster.
"Damn, don't play, it's too bad luck. ”
Handing over the last few banknotes to Ding Xiaofan, the old fox sighed and lit the pipe in his mouth.
"It's okay, it looks like a storm is coming, so let's rest for a while. ”
As he spoke, Ding Xiaofan released a protective shield to surround the lifeboat, and then lay down on the deck and began to count the money.
"Where did this clear sky ......come from?"
However, no sooner had the heavy gunner said than a huge dark cloud hung over the sea where the lifeboat was located.
"Woohoo!"
"Click!"
The wind was fierce, the torrential rain was pouring, the lightning was thundering, the day was like night, and the storm chased the lifeboats of Ding Xiaofan and others for more than five hours.
"Bang!"
When the storm stopped, the clouds cleared, and the lifeboat was pushed by the waves and slammed against a reef.
"Damn! This flag is Great Britain!"
Looking at the flags planted on the sea cliffs, Ding Xiaofan and the others felt both surprised and a little incredible.
At 10:40 a.m. on November 22, London time, thirteen foreigners suddenly appeared on the streets of Brooke, who were being questioned by the local police because they were armed with weapons.
