Chapter 1257: Pirates Love Gold
Baili Liangliu and others carried out some preliminary investigations and understandings of the 1800 shipwreck.
At the same time, it also brought Ban Yang and his uncle together.
In order to reduce trouble, Baili Liangliu has kept the No. 2 in a stealth state.
Perhaps because of this way of stealing chickens and dogs, so far, the pirates living in it have not been discovered.
Otherwise, even if they have a lively fight with those US warships, they will not let it go.
Peter also reasoned that because when they came in, they broke in, and not by the people inside, as they did in other ships, which also caused them to be uncounted.
As for the sound of No. 2 breaking through the door, it is estimated that this place is located in the center of the Devil's Triangle area in Bermuda, and strong winds and waves occur from time to time, and the sound of No. 2 entering is too small and not high enough, even if they hear it, they will not take it seriously.
In this case, Baili Liangliu weighed it and felt that it was best to take this opportunity to go around and try to collect more information, so that when the showdown was later, he would have more initiative.
Before Ban Yang put away the piece of white silk, Baili Lianglu glanced at it again.
I didn't expect that in some small print at the bottom, there were also some new contents.
The small print said that the ships that came in after him with the same fate as him had been caught here for one reason.
That's because pirates love gold.
The ships were wrecked because of the gold.
His uncle said that he also recorded the amount of gold they carried.
At the same time, he mentions that as the amount of gold increases, the light of the gold grows stronger in the place where it is stacked.
However, it was still only dusk.
He said he had written about a dozen of them, but they were all separately recorded, and the relevant accounts were all hidden in his jacket. If you're interested in those details, you can take them with you.
One more thing, which he says he's been paying attention to, is that the people here seem to have another outlet.
And there are other channels to communicate with the sources of supply of daily necessities.
But that channel, they were not able to enter the captured people, so he never got detailed information.
He wanted to continue looking for opportunities, but his body couldn't stand it.
The dark and damp climate here ruined his already good physique.
When death came, he wrote down some clues.
Seeing that the old captain who had passed away had provided so many clues, Baili Liangliu decided to continue reading those things he mentioned.
There was no need to find someone this time, Baili Liangliu approached the dry corpse and moved him into the first number of Wuqian in its entirety.
Of course, it is packed in a sealed and sterilized box, which is a special tool for sterilization and anti-virus proliferation that has been verified by Huasheng.
The xenomorph biological specimens that Huasheng needs are placed in such a box.
The box containing the dried corpse was then moved into a sealed cabin, which was also used for experimentation.
Then, it was Ban Yang who did it himself, carried out a corpse touching operation, and searched out all the records mentioned by the old captain's uncle.
It was also some white silk, and judging by the shape, it was obvious that it had been torn from his clothes, and it was probably the one he was wearing.
This time, Ban Yang's body was more thorough, and he searched all the places where such words might be hidden.
Although he can do this kind of corpse touching operation when necessary, he really doesn't want to do it.
At the same time, his uncle is dead, although he doesn't have any concept of being in the ground, and it's not good to always bother, right?
Instead of bothering again, it is better to thoroughly touch it this time, and then you can let your uncle rest in peace.
As for whether to hand over this dried corpse to Hua Sheng and let him do some dissection experiments, this will be discussed later.
Baili Liangliu found a year that was closest to the record of 1800.
It clearly states that the ship was also captured in 1800.
Bai Li Lianglu looked at another boat not far away.
There was also a boat there, and like the first, it was also laid out there, next to the first.
It also prominently says 1800.
However, before that year name, there is still an August.
The first ship did not have months, the second did, and there is practically no way to compare.
But since the old captain said that he would come first, and then the rebels, the order before and after was correct.
Also, knowing which ships came first and which came later, the most clear should be the pirates, who also put the Uprising in second place.
Both pieces of evidence attest to pirate ship hijacking from 1800, with Piccaring being the first and the Insurrection being the second.
The ship, called the "Insurgent", was also an American ship.
Since he could see it without moving his nest, Baili Liangliu made some observations on the rebels first.
From the surface of the boat, the first thing he noticed was that there were a lot of dried corpses on it, at least several times more than the dried corpses on Pikaling.
Those dried corpses were also all black, obviously after they were dried.
Maybe it was a deliberate act of the pirates, and when it dries, it won't rot.
Maybe it's because there's something special about nature here, and those corpses will dry naturally after a long time.
In short, like the dried corpse on Pikaling, it was kept like this.
Even if they lived a long life and lived another fifty years from the year of their accident, it would have been one hundred and seventy years.
After one hundred and seventy years, those corpses are still intact, and if they are not lifelike, at least they can still be seen as they were, which is quite amazing.
What was the reason why those pirates didn't throw them into the sea to feed the fish, and didn't eat them themselves, I heard that those pirates ate people, it's just commonplace.
At least normal pirates don't have any psychological barriers to cannibalism.
In any case, those people have been able to survive to this day, and they have provided them with a lot of valuable information, and they must have the good intentions of the Creator in the dark, and Baili Lianglu is very grateful.
It also made him more cautious about the dried corpses, as well as the shipwrecks and any relics, especially what the old captain had written.
That's real first-hand information.
Look at the ship itself.
The ship was also much larger, but it was still a wooden-clad iron-clad sailboat, which was probably the mainstream technology of the era.
A tall mast towers straight into the sky, at least more than three feet.
At the top of the mast, there was still something floating, and the breeze was blowing, and it was still fluttering, making a rattling sound.
However, the sound was like a rag trembling in the cold wind, and the sound was also very dilapidated.
When Baili Liangliu looked closely, he could vaguely distinguish that it was a Star-Spangled Banner.
At the same time, Peter was watching, and he also realized that it was a Star-Spangled Banner.
It's quite dilapidated, but it's still the Star-Spangled Banner.
Suddenly, the vocal symphony of "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls" sounded in his ears, and Peter's heart was so hot that tears almost burst out of his eyes.
He was in a surging mood beyond words, and he stood up and gave a military salute to the Star-Spangled Banner.
Although he didn't feel like Peter, he had a lot of respect for Peter's performance.
In his opinion, the serious old beauty is like the Star-Spangled Banner, which has gone through wind and rain, even if it is burned in war, it will not fall.
Even if it is tattered and ragged, it still flutters on the heights.
Perhaps the pirates admired this spirit and allowed it to float in their lair?
Peter reminded Baili Liangliu that since the ship was flying the Star-Spangled Flag, it was probably a civilian ship on a military mission, or it was a military ship itself, disguised as a civilian ship, just to facilitate movement.
If you really want to know their secrets, unless you find their logbook, which should be fully documented.
However, Peter also knew that if it was a ship of military operations, the logbooks would be destroyed as soon as possible.
This is the inevitable action of all soldiers before they are captured, and it is a self-evident natural iron law of soldiers.
I can't take care of these things now, maybe after taking down a real pirate lair, if time permits, I can do it and go to the ship and search it thoroughly.
Now, let's take a look at the first-hand accounts.
It's the record of old Captain Picaring.
To Baili Liangliu's surprise, the old captain actually wrote two pieces of white silk about the Insurgent.
And what he didn't expect was that his writing turned out to be pretty good!
At least it was much better than the writing of some of the later generations of the network that he knew was a pyramid scheme.
Maybe it's someone else's business, and he has a leisurely and elegant ease in his account?
Maybe it's because my writing skills have improved greatly after writing on my own white silk?
Regardless of what you say, Baili Liangliu looks like the writing is quite smooth and engaging.
Baili Lianglu couldn't help but look at it intently.
That day, about a month after I entered this cave, would have been August if my memory hadn't deteriorated to a terrible level without any accuracy.
August, 1800, is the most accurate description given to that day.
Since it can't be more accurate, I will be at peace with what happens, in this environment, under the fence, and stealing a living, what is the higher pursuit?
On that day, an earth-shattering event happened.
On that day, we had a few more equally tragic victims.
It was a big ship.
We saw with our own eyes how they got into this cave.
We first heard a loud bang like the sky was falling, and then a raging wave suddenly broke through a wall in front and back, pouring in like a sea of mountains.
What's even more terrifying is that there is a huge ship in there, which is carried by the waves and pressed directly on top of our heads.
At that time, our mood will never be forgotten until any moment in the future.
That is the mentality of total death.
It is a desperate situation from which there is no escape from complete despair.
Strange to say, at that moment, my heart was quiet.
Anyway, there is no way to live, and it is not a good thing to die in such a natural disaster than to be tortured and humiliated.
However, what happened next was completely unexpected for me.
At that time, there was no fear in my mentality, and since my heart was bound to die, I wanted to see how fate killed me.
So, unlike everyone else, I closed my eyes in fear.
I've been keeping my eyes open to the water, to the waves, to the boat!
It is extremely incredible that the water and the waves and the boat almost touched the tip of my nose, in other words, the tip of my nose is known to be an inch longer than ordinary people, but it did not touch, but swished, and floated over!
They all floated away, and not a drop of water fell.
Not only did it not fall on me, but not a drop fell on the ground!
Not to mention that there are big boats on that wave.
I was a whole fool!
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that such a strange thing would have happened.
Actually, it's more powerful than that.
Even if I saw it with my own eyes, I didn't believe that such a thing would happen.
I can't even believe my eyes!
It wasn't until much later that I was able to harmonize my eyes with my cognition.
That's a strange thing happening in front of me, that's a fact, not an illusion.
There is one more piece of evidence, and that is the boat.
Although it floated past and did not land, it flew a few feet away, and with a bang, it landed on the ground.
It has remained there since it landed, and later became the residence of the people on the ship, and it is also the place where they are buried when they die.
Seeing this, Baili Liangliu paused slightly, glanced at the rebel, and sure enough, it was three or four zhang away.
The difference from the old captain's account is that now the ship has completely become their burial place, and there are no more living people.
Baili Lianglu suppressed the depression in his heart and continued to read the old captain's writing.
The boat stopped there, and I glanced at it and sighed.
Another group of tragic characters has arrived, and I don't know if they can share the tragedy with us.
I'm also curious, where are the seas and big waves?
Looking around, there was no sign of them.
The sky was still dark.
The dry ground is still dry.
After about half an hour, five or six people came out of the big new boat.
One of them was about my age.
Although he was forced to be calm, his face was full of hesitation.
Obviously, like me, I was completely ignorant of such an encounter and being in such a place.
I empathized with his heart and said hello to him.
I must seize this opportunity, otherwise the robbers will soon come and deal with them.
From my experience and speculation, that is, reasoning and prediction, the pirates were well aware of their situation and were confident in what to do with them, in other words, getting them in was actually part of their plan.
"I'm Ban Yang, and I have a few words for you. ”
It's a nondescript greeting, I can't say you're welcome, can I?
If I am the master, I should say so.
It's a pity I'm not, although it seems like it is.
I'm just a pig and a sheep to the slaughter, and I don't know when I'll be stabbed.
"Are you the master here? Why did you get us here? What do you want to do with us?"
Sure enough, the newcomer misunderstood.
"I'm not the master, I'm just like you, but I've come a little earlier, the master here is a pirate, and they'll come over in a while! The purpose of my talk to you is to say hello to you, and if there's anything you need to prepare, don't be surprised and let others slaughter you! I can't do anything about your predicament, I can do it, but I can just communicate with you before they come, and that's it, they are coming, you can do it yourself." ”
