Text Text_Chapter 997 Left-behind pirates

The moonlight was as clear as water, quietly shining on the Forgotten Island, casting a faint layer of light.

The waves crashed silently on this small island in the depths of the sea, and the waves crashed on the reef, stirring up countless droplets, which immediately fell into the sea and merged again.

A salvage ship made of sturdy steel and loaded with all kinds of detection equipment is quietly moored inside the Forgotten Island.

It is a natural sheltered harbor with a deep water level, and ships under 200 tonnage can easily anchor here. I am not worried that it will run aground when I retreat from the DPRK.

Not far from the salvage ship, there was a very simple house, and two pirates sat in the room, drinking and talking.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When do you think Jessica will come? Buddies have been here for half a month. ”

"It should be soon."

Another pirate, who took a sip of spirits, let out a puff of alcohol, stared at his red eyes, pulled his clothes apart, lit a cigarette and took a puff, and said with a smile: "But then again, it's really a good decision to stay here to guard the salvage ship and the group of gringos." ”

"Hehe, you're right."

His companion nodded, took a piece of lean meat from the beautifully packaged can, put it in his mouth and chewed it happily, and smiled approvingly: "Except for being a little lonely, staying here is indeed a good decision, every day with good wine and good meat, I have gained five or six pounds in the past half a month." ”

"Hey, hey."

The pirate who had spoken earlier took a puff of his cigarette, his eyes showed wistfulness, and said, "When Jessica arrives, we will be able to salvage the shipwreck...... Hahaha, I found that following Jessica is really the wisest choice, and luckily, it is a wreck full of gold coins and jewels, as long as we share a little, it is enough for us to have food and clothing for the rest of our lives! ”

"You're right, dear job." His companion burped and said with a smile: "This group of gringos, after working hard and investigating for half a year, finally found the location of the shipwreck, they definitely never thought of it, but it is equivalent to working hard for us, hahaha!" ”

"It's thanks to Jessica."

The pirate who spoke earlier did not hesitate to praise Jessica, and said with a smile: "We found this salvage ship on the sea before, but Jessica told us not to do anything until we saw them start to do it, so we rushed over and caught all these cowardly gringos. ”

"If we had done it from the beginning, these cunning gringos would definitely not have confessed the whereabouts of the treasure."

His companion laughed: "But then again, the squid in the wreck is really big enough, at least thirty or forty meters long." As he spoke, his eyes showed a look of horror.

"That's right, that big squid, I don't know how many years I've lived." The pirate who spoke earlier nodded in agreement and said, "Look at its size, I'm afraid even the whale is no match for it - what a thick tentacle that can tear the whale apart alive......"

Just as the two were chatting, suddenly, a blinding light came on outside.

The two pirates were stunned for a moment, and in an instant, the drunkenness of the two subsided, and they hurriedly picked it up and ran out quickly.

Jessica had left a total of six pirates on the Forgotten Island, four of whom were on the salvage ship, and the remaining two were on the island, taking care of each other.

The location of the Forgotten Island, in the depths of the sea, is better said to be an island than a huge reef, it is located in the middle of nowhere, far from the main shipping routes, and under normal circumstances, no ships will pass through it.

And this snow-white light is very obvious, and the light is directly pointed at this natural harbor in the depths of the Forgotten Island, so the two pirates can't help but be vigilant.

"Could it be that the gringos' companions have found this place?"

The two pirates were in their hearts.

Several pirates on the salvage ship were also awakened, and the six pirates quickly discussed and decided that the four of them would stay on the ship, and the remaining two pirates would be ambushed on the shore, which would have the advantage that if the ships that came were either friends or foes, the two sides could also take care of each other.

Several pirates were nervous, staring at the ship.

The lights were dazzling, and it was impossible to see what the ships looked like.

However, after determining the location of the natural harbor, the ship quickly turned off the harsh lights and switched to dim lighting to avoid touching the reef on both sides.

"It's Jessica back!"

Soon, some pirates with better eyesight, with the help of the moonlight, saw the familiar black hull of the ship.

"It's finally back."

The pirates who stayed here suddenly became excited. You know, once Jessica returns, it means that she is ready to salvage the treasure that sleeps in the depths of the sea.

These pirates, who stayed here for more than half a month, were bored in their spare time and interrogated the two gringos repeatedly.

These two men are sure of the "meritorious men" who have found the treasure of the shipwreck, but these pirates will not show mercy to this meritorious man's men - as long as they don't say what satisfies them, they will unceremoniously whip them with a leather whip sticking to the seawater.

The whip that sticks to the seawater is not only tough, but the salt water also has the effect of "disinfecting" the wound.

Therefore, the pirates were very relieved, and used leather whips to whip these two "navigators" who had the fantasy of making a fortune and hired a salvage ship to salvage the treasure of the sunken ship, and smoked the ghost and cried wolf.

Under this inhuman torture, these two "sea voyagers" naturally told these pirates everything they knew about the treasure.

"According to the information we found, there were probably tens of thousands of gold coins in the wreck, and some jewels ......"

Bang Bang Bang!

When these pirates heard this, they immediately became angry, how could it be that there were only tens of thousands of gold coins? A little too little. It's clear that these two guys didn't tell the truth!

After a few lashes, the two navigators finally understood the pirates' minds, and in the days that followed, the number of gold coins began to grow, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and finally to a few millionsβ€”no money for this thing anyway, just talk nonsense.

Sure enough, when these pirates heard that there were millions of gold coins on the shipwreck, they all smiled, and the two navigators finally didn't have to eat the feast of "fried meat with leather whips" - but these brainless pirates never thought about the shipbuilding technology of the past era.

If a ship can grow millions of gold coins, how big is the tonnage of the ship? How much should a gold coin weigh?

Of course, these pirates don't think about these things - they just think about how much gold can I share when the time comes.

The Pirate slowly sailed into the harbor and stopped.

The few pirates who stayed behind cheered up and stood on the shore one after another to welcome them. Of course, they were more of a way to prove that they weren't lazy during Jessica's time on the Forgotten Islands - you see, we found you from the moment you first entered the port.

"Brothers, you've worked hard all this time."

Jessica and the big black man walked down from the pirate ship, and she didn't react to the smell of alcohol coming from the bodies of these left-behind pirates, because it was within her sense at all.

For pirates, two things are indispensable, money and spirits.

"Haha, Jessica, you've worked just as hard."

Among the pirates left behind, a strong man with a tall horse came out and said with a smile: "We finally waited until you came back." ”

"Are the two gringos?" Jessica had a smile on her face.

"Hmm." The strong man nodded and said, "Don't worry, the two of them are very good, oh yes, before you leave, let's continue to interrogate these two guys, we have already asked, you can rest assured." ”

"Very good, very good." Jessica's smile grew stronger.

"Then shall we set off tomorrow to salvage the treasure of the shipwreck?"

The big man said.

Hearing his words, the remaining pirates who stayed behind suddenly had a fanatical light in their eyes, if it weren't for a few of them, there would be no way to deal with the huge squid in the wreck, I'm afraid that as soon as Jessica left on the front foot, these people would unite to salvage the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea and divide the treasure equally.

"Nope."

Jessica's answer made the remaining pirates suddenly froze.

"Why?" The strong man looked at Jessica suspiciously.

"Because we're going to get rid of a heel first." The big black man stood up, took a deep look at the pirates, and said, "Old Jack, this guy has been following us all the time, if we don't get rid of this guy, we won't be able to set off to salvage the treasure." ”

"What? Old Jack? ”

The remaining pirates were stunned, "How did he know that we had found the treasure?" ”

"I don't know, someone leaked the news." The big black man knew that the news was deliberately leaked out by Jessica, in order to attract Old Jack to take the bait, he coughed, waved his arms, and said loudly: "Brothers, now is not the time to discuss and study why Old Jack knows this news, they are about two hours away before they can get here." ”

"What we need to do now is to seize this time and get ready, and when Old Jack arrives on the Forgotten Island, we will completely kill him and solve this trouble, and from now on, there will be no more Old Jack in the South Island Country!"
