Section 327 Surprise 4
"There are pirates...... Lu Wu looked at the information provided by Thomas.
Pirates themselves are a group of people who spawned in specific circumstances in ancient times. They took advantage of the vastness of the sea and the difficulty of monitoring it to rob ships. It stands to reason that in this age of advanced technology and ubiquitous satellites, pirates should have disappeared long ago. But this is not the case.
Indeed, it is technically really easy to do this, and all ships throughout the sea can be monitored as long as they wish. However, what can be done technically is not the same as what can be done in reality. It is true that there is no piracy at all in the waters of those powerful countries, but it does still exist in those places where the military is weak, especially the navy.
This time it was a very ordinary old medium-sized ship, built in the last century, that had been at sea for decades. In fact, it can't be said to be a special trip, it can only be said to be a ride. The ships themselves are responsible for transporting local timber to other countries, but there are some empty warehouses that can be used to transport such things as equipment and specimens.
Ships of this size are the pirates' favorite prey.
It's impossible for pirates to buy warships to fight at sea - let alone war behemoths like frigates and destroyers, even the lowliest, gunboats. Basically, boats and boats are used, plus weapons such as bazookas and automatic rifles used by individual soldiers. They have a limited range of movement and are usually unable to attack modern high-speed vessels. On the contrary, this type is smaller, older, and slower, but the older ships are their best prey.
Several people stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the blue sea in front of them and the prosperous city in the rear. It should be noted that although it is relatively dilapidated compared to China's port cities, it is indeed prosperous. The ship is still in port, making final preparations for the start of the voyage.
In fact, Thomas was really unaware of this before. After all, he is not a professional in transportation, and he really doesn't know anything about the situation at sea. He came here before, and he also flew and drove all the way, and he didn't take a boat at all. In fact, the captain told him about it after he got on the boat.
The captain said this out of good intentions, or at least that's what he called himself. In short, these equipment of Thomas, these high-end equipment, drugs and materials for studying biological cells, not to mention the specimens and samples of those mutated organisms, look like they are very valuable. But I didn't have insurance. Or rather, there is no insurance that matches its value.
Of course, it's too late now, after all, insurance can be operated remotely. I happen to have a friend in XXX insurance company, who is responsible for this kind of business, only needs XXX yuan, and will help you complete all the procedures immediately, and the policy will be delivered directly to your home!
It's a pity that although Thomas is a relatively naïve person, he also grew up in a capitalist country. He just doesn't care much, it's not really a lack of intelligence.
But the story of pirates is not fiction. That's why he would consult with Lu Wu.
If it was under normal circumstances, even if it was out of the consideration of "not afraid of 10,000, just in case", he would be a little worried, but now he is not afraid at all.
Thomas was the one who had seen miracles for himself.
The last time he was in that tropical jungle area (not strictly a place, but the environment was similar), he had seen a battle between Lu Wu and heavily armed soldiers. Don't look at the tall Thomas, but that's just the appearance. He has the courage of an adventurer, but not the courage of a warrior. So as soon as the battle began, he fell to his stomach in fright, so he couldn't see the details of the process. But even if he didn't see the process, that scene was very deep in his memory.
There were incomprehensible shouts in all directions, and gunshots like fried beans. At that moment, there should have been more than a dozen guns firing together, bullets shuttling around overhead like black and white impermanence cards, and the "whoosh" sound was terrifying. When everything calmed down a little and Thomas got up in fear, what he saw was that Lu Wu had knocked down the last few soldiers.
It's an unmistakable hand-to-hand confrontation rifle – not the kind that takes advantage of a specific surrounding environment that makes it impossible for the gun wielder to aim (even that confrontation is remarkable). It's a real battle in a relatively open glade. It is understandable that a person's marksmanship is stinky and he can't hit the target accurately. But if a group of people can't fight together...... It can only be said that the key to this matter is not in the marksmanship of those soldiers, but in Lu Wu.
Later, the incident in Kunlun Mountain proved this point.
It was a survivability that far exceeded the limits of normal humans, a supernatural ability that only existed in legends. Not to mention that in addition to Lu Wu, there is also an amber.
I don't know how strong Amber's combat power is, because Thomas has never seen a real combat scene. However, that is the person who can easily pick up a dozen tons of stones......
If it were a human body, it would be a force that could easily shatter human bones, or tear human beings apart as a whole. Well, throwing a rock with your bare hands can pierce a car - that's probably the level of combat power.
With such two people present, the pirates who are waiting for themselves are not afraid.
And the man who calls himself J.
Director Gao once made it clear that he was an ordinary person, but he couldn't tell what was going on, but Thomas always felt that this person was weird. Among other things, his ability to sneak in and out under the noses of a group of mercenaries was unusual in itself. The person's name is also rather strange, and this "J" is obviously not an official name, but a code nickname or something. If you look closely, you can see that there is something different about this person.
For example, words and deeds. Different people are different in their words and deeds.
Thomas may not be very good at anything else, but he definitely has a keen eye. After all, whether it is the paparazzi of the past, or the later journalists, or photographers, etc., they all need a pair of eyes that are good at discovering and searching.
Although J looks like a normal person, Thomas still senses that unique temperament. It's hard to describe the feeling, but Thomas has reason to think that J is too vigilant, extraordinary and vigilant. Even if he sat there with nothing to do, his eyes were still watching the places around him that might be hiding danger. At the same time, his attention was always focused on the key entrance and exit where people came and went.
He is watching for danger and is always ready to respond to it.
If it's a place of crisis, that's fine. After all, it is never a mistake to lift and release in a dangerous place. But this ...... It's all on board. What dangers can there be on such a cargo ship?
Moreover, he is familiar with Amber and Lu Wu. Well, although during the time that Thomas and Lu Wu were together in W City, he was pretty sure that he had never met J. So they should have known each other earlier...... All things considered, Thomas began to suspect that this person might be a candidate for the superpower group.
Yes, the situation is more similar to Thomas, but it is a step further than Thomas. Thomas is still in the "observation period", or in fact he has been eliminated (Thomas has reason to think that if this happens, it can only be a problem of his personal talent, and there is no way to cultivate well), but he himself does not know it yet. And this J is obviously either past the observation period or at the end of the observation period.
Of course, Thomas didn't dare to ask Lu Wu and the others about these ideas. But in any case, even if J is a person who doesn't have supernatural abilities, he is obviously very good at fighting.
In short, Thomas didn't think a group of pirates could pose any threat to him. Well, of course, although there is no fear of pirates, it is necessary to warn in advance. After all, in Thomas's understanding, the mysterious power of the East is not perfect. For example, many supernatural abilities are restricted, and some abilities will become invalid when they encounter black dog blood or rooster blood, or other taboos. I don't know if there will be any problems at sea.
Colonel Zhang said that the famous pirate leader in this place was called Wang Zhi. "Thomas is not ignorant. After learning about the pirates, he contacted the veteran. After all, the kind of local snake is familiar, and I know more about this knowledge. It's a pity that the veterans and pirates are not on the same line, and although they know some general information about each other, they don't have any friendship with each other at all.
"Chinese?" Lu Wu asked.
"I don't know, some people say that he may just be a local, and for some reason he took a Chinese name. "The veteran didn't provide much information this time, and it was basically some big road goods. However, he is not the kind of person who pays attention to the friendship of his compatriots, and he also robs the Chinese ship. ”
"Is that so?" Lu Wu didn't really care, in fact, this matter was really not a threat. After all, if there is amber here, it is useless to come to many pirates. He had more troubles to do.
And there is still no way to solve this troublesome matter......
"Lu Wu!" A voice came from behind, Lu Wu turned around and saw Zhang Yao.
Just take a good flight back to China! The school is about to start for the new semester...... Why do you learn how to take a boat back? Don't you know that the boat is slow?
He actually wanted to find an opportunity to ask the master how many "reinforcements" came from the Huiyue Warlock's side, and where they were, but he couldn't spare this time. It's just that there is no such opportunity, it is entirely because of being entangled by Zhang Yao.
To be honest, Lu Wu was very reluctant to let Zhang Yao get involved in this kind of thing. He now knew that what he was exposed to was a special case, that is, no one else in this world had access to these things except himself, the crossing, the sea of ether, the warlocks, the supernatural abilities, and of course, the gods.
Earth is a boring, but absolutely safe world. But this tedium is for people like Thomas, and safety is for everyone.
