Chapter 949: The Moon Is Dark and Windless

"It's like a fishing boat, a little bigger...... There were no sails, and I had seen one of them in the telescope before it got dark, and it had a number 8 on its bow.

"What's the speed of our ship now?" Hong Tao asked again.

"4 knots, the nose jib is already hung up, but the sea is very strange, there is no wind...... You still had it when you left, and after a while it was windless. Nikki reported the current state of the sailboat.

"Go and call Radha up. Hong Tao also made Nikki a little nervous, it was normal to encounter a fishing boat during the drive, nothing to make a fuss about. But when the boat is very slow and there is land around, it is a bit abnormal to encounter a fishing boat and follow you for an hour. Regardless of whether what Nikki said is true or not, it must be taken seriously, for safety issues, Hong Tao has always preferred to kill three thousand by mistake than let go of one, and a thief like Nikki would not joke about this kind of thing.

"Why did you take this out again?" Radha came quickly, but Hong Tao was faster, he had already pulled the big bed away from the head of the bed, revealing the dark compartment below, and the big sniper had already been taken out by him.

"There's a boat following us, you and Singh go and replace the children, take this, I'll go up right away!" Hong Tao was pressing bullets into the magazine, this thing is very troublesome. If you don't use it for a long time, you have to withdraw the bullet. Otherwise, the spring in the magazine is prone to problems, and if it gets stuck at a critical time, it will not be fatal. It's not just about getting the bullets back. It is also necessary to wrap the guns in oiled paper and cover them with waterproof bags to avoid contact with the humid air at sea as much as possible.

"How's it going? Is it still behind?" After a while, Hong Tao climbed up from the cabin with the big guy weighing dozens of pounds, and saw Rada climbing on the chart table to calculate the route, and Singh stood at the hatch leading to the bridge on the second floor and looked up at something.

Paris said they were still behind, but he couldn't see how many there were, and could only roughly feel that there were boats over there, about 100 degrees to starboard. "So Singh was working as a herald for Paris. Now Paris must have climbed the mast as well.

"Who told her to climb up? Didn't I mean to let the kids go down? You two, get down to the cabin!" Hong Tao only then noticed that it was Nicole at the helm, and Nikki was also holding a telescope and lying on the back deck to look.

"I'm not going down! I'm also a member of the ship! I won't go down if you let me split the fork all day!" Nicole didn't obey Hong Tao's order this time, and hugged the steering wheel with both hands, a bit like the sailboat.

"Paris and I won't go down either!Didn't you say that everyone has their own responsibilities?we are sailors on board, not your slaves!" Nikki spoke harder, having risen to the height of personality, and chained her safety belt to the railing of the back deck.

"Let them stay in the cockpit, we don't have enough people. At least one person is needed at the helm, and Singh is not yet available. Radha also began to intercede for them.

"Nikki, take this, and follow Rada. Nicole, you continue to be at the helm. Singh. You're still here to help us get the word out, and if you hear a gunshot, get on the deck right away. If I don't say look up, I won't look up!Paris, get out of here!" Hong Tao thought for a moment. That's right, if the sailboat can't be saved. Even if they all hide in the freshwater tank, it's useless, hang up, accept their fate!

Soon, the sailing ships were already in place, Radha and Nikki were in the wheelhouse using the ship's radio to see if the other party answered, if the other party did not answer, then call the nearby ships, if there were, everyone could approach each other, as for the Coast Guard and the like, don't count on it, these small Southeast Asian countries don't have so many high-performance ships to maintain the safety of navigation on the high seas; Nicole was alone in the cockpit on the first floor, Singh continued to stand on the stairs on the first and second floors as a microphone; Hong Tao had set up the sniper rifle on the back of the sofa on the bridge on the second floor, and Paris also climbed down from the mast, is squatting next to help Hong Tao use the telescope to search for sea surface targets.

"It's a bit of a hassle this time! not even the moon...... Lada, go and start the diesel engine!Nicole, don't put it in gear, listen to my orders!" Hong Tao searched for a long time with the scope on the sniper rifle, and only once put on a vague shadow, and the ship could not be found in a flash. He had a feeling that today might no longer be as simple as encountering a fishing boat, and he was a little worried when he thought of this, but more excited. Originally, he planned to sink all these weapons to the bottom of the sea after entering the waters of the South China Sea, but now it seems that maybe they can really be used.

The profession of piracy is very difficult, and intercepting passing ships on the sea can be dangerous and difficult, especially if you don't have specialized equipment. First of all, you have to have enough motivation to catch up with the target ship, and you can't stop in front of people like robbing on the street, that's not pirates, that's suicide. There are no brakes on the sea, and when you hit a large ship, you will run over you directly, and you won't even feel the bumps. If you run into a small boat, you have to hit your boat into a big hole, and then everyone will be a water dog together, if you don't rescue it in time, you will still end up with the same result.

Therefore, when robbing on the sea, you should approach from the side and rear, gradually stick to the target ship, and then find an opportunity to climb up, and then you will basically succeed at this time. But this process is also a fatal job, if it is a large ship, its waves can roll up a small boat at any time, and if you want to help it, you have to find the right place, if there is nothing on the hull to climb, it is still in vain. How do you go up to the iron plate that is several stories high? Play flying and catching? That's the movie, dare to pull a big steamer with a rope on two moving boats, and pull your little fishing boat apart in minutes.

Secondly, you can't alarm the people on the target ship yet, otherwise you won't be able to climb up even if you stick it. The other party doesn't have to show his head, he just needs to wait on the deck with a high-pressure water gun, and whoever shows his head will hit whomever he wants. The deck of the big ship is full of steel and iron bones, just find a place to hide, you can't penetrate with any gun, but the high-pressure water rushes over, you will be directly knocked away, and you will basically die if you fall.

But Hong Tao's small sailboat does not have these problems, as long as it can come up, it doesn't matter if it alarms the people on the boat, and there is no difficulty in climbing. And the other party is still a motor boat, which is more flexible to operate than a sailboat, and the reason why they didn't come up right away is probably waiting for a suitable place, or it is Hong Tao They misunderstood, the other party is not a pirate.

Hong Tao doesn't think so, this is international waters, because there are many islands, so there is only one fixed channel, no matter what kind of ship, can only follow this route. Since the other party is sailing on the route, there is no reason not to hang the mast lights, and they are not afraid of being hit by other ships? There is only one purpose in doing this, that is, to make other ships invisible, why? Do you still need to ask? You don't hold back your fart!

"Hong Tao, are we going to die?" Paris's excitement at this time was almost over, and the fear slowly hit his heart, and he was a little trembling when he spoke.

"I can't tell...... These pirates not only robbed property, but also killed people, and for women, they usually killed them after the scourge was over!" Hong Tao not only did not comfort her, but also poured salt on people's wounds.

"Can you stop them?" Radha said you are the son of God, you can recite incantations...... Paris simply climbed down from the couch and shrank to Hong Tao's side.

"My father's surname is Hong, not his surname! At this time, it is better to believe in God than to believe in it! In this life, all things are earned by oneself, and none of them are given by God, including this little life. Hong Tao patted Paris on the head, intending to encourage her.

"But I'm ...... I don't want to die...... I still have a lot of fun that I haven't enjoyed! Can you hold me, I don't want them to torture me to death, if I have to die, I'll choose you, and I'll jump off myself. I'm still the first time, really! I wanted to find a boyfriend when I was in high school, but you're better than all of them, let's hug each other and die!" Paris was in the same state as Carroll had when he crossed the Drake Passage, and his heart was about to collapse.

"Don't be so pessimistic, the other party is not necessarily a pirate, maybe it is a fishing boat on the way, this is an international route, who stipulates that we can only go, and no one else is allowed to go." "Hong Tao is really convinced, this Paris is really a nymphomaniac to the extreme, when is it, she is still thinking about that little thing, she has been pursuing this little bit in her life.

"Hong Tao...... They're speeding up!" But as soon as Hong Tao's words fell, Singh, who was standing at the hatch, shouted, and at this time, Hong Tao also heard the faint sudden sound of diesel engines coming from behind. Didn't he deliberately slap himself in the face, as soon as he comforted Paris, he was slapped in the face.

"Radha, take your seat, they have received our call, it seems that they can't hide today! Nicole, activate the thrusters, speed up! Paris, come, let's beat them together! Don't be afraid, if they really come up, I'll jump into the sea with you in my arms!" Hong Tao knew that he was likely to really meet pirates today, often walking by the river, there was no one who didn't get his shoes wet, at this time he had to be decisive, except for Lada, the other crew members were probably in a similar psychological state to Paris, as long as they panicked a little, they had to collapse.
