Chapter 252: Burning the Desert Island
What Vals came up with, nothing else, was gasoline!
Ye Feng instantly felt that the sweat on his forehead began to fall heavily.
You know, this desert island is only a few square kilometers, and most of it is covered with various vegetation. Only parts of the coast are some bare sand and rocks and the like.
At this time, Vals and the others are standing upwind of the entire island, and if the fire is really lit, the entire island will be in flames!
The most important thing is that their bodies are still coated with gunpowder!
Ye Feng didn't dare to think about the specific consequences anymore.
"Brother Ye, what should I do?" The crew members who rushed over next to them couldn't help but gasp, and the huge sense of fear made them open their mouths wide and didn't know what to do.
Several of them were also covered in gunpowder. At this moment, seeing the gasoline in Vals's hand, it seemed that he had seen himself in the sea of fire, and his expressions were extremely distorted.
"Quick! Go find Captain Xu and them! Ye Feng quickly ordered.
"How? Are you scared? If you are afraid, come out obediently, kowtow to Lao Tzu, and call 'Uncle', Lao Tzu will spare you from death......" Behind them, Vals shouted arrogantly there.
It's just that his lines always make Ye Feng feel like he has returned to his homeland, which is unspeakably different.
Hurry up, Ye Feng meditated in his heart, wishing that he had wings under his feet.
He regretted it very much now, if only he could ask Captain Xu where he went.
"Huh? Brother Ye, why are you back? At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded not far ahead.
Ye Feng looked up and saw that it was a crew member on the ship who followed Captain Xu to help the passengers find shelter.
"Well, no further ado. Why are you here? Ye Feng couldn't wait to ask. This is what he cares about now.
"Oh, Captain Xu has already placed everyone in a cave, and he will come over to meet you immediately, and send me over to tell you first." The crew was also quick and straightforward, and told the situation immediately.
"Oops! You can't hide in a cave! Before Ye Feng could speak, a crew member beside him was already anxious to shout.
"Huh?" The converging crew, the second monk was confused, not knowing what they were talking about.
"The pirates are ready to set fire to the island. Hiding in a cave, even if it doesn't burn to death, it makes the smoke die. Quick, take us over! Ye Feng explained in a few words and motioned for the crew to lead the way.
"What?" The crew's mouth suddenly opened wide, realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded heavily, pushed the trees blocking the side aside, and strode a few people to find the hiding place.
Behind them, what they didn't see was that wisps of white smoke began to appear, mixed with the "crackling" sound of wet wood being ignited. Apparently, after several minutes of shouting without answering, Valls was already in action.
Fortunately, the island is not very large, and after a few people ran panting, they came to the cave where the passengers were hiding.
"It's Ye Feng. I mean, the passengers are set up and ready to go to you. How's it going over there? Captain Xu had a smile on his face, and he was very satisfied that he was able to settle the passengers in such a short time.
"Quick! Let's get out of here! The pirates are going to set fire to the island. Ye Feng stared at Captain Xu and said solemnly.
"Set fire to the island? You're not kidding, are you? Captain Xu, like the crew who first heard the news, opened his mouth wide in shock. It's not that he is exaggerating, it's just that the news is too shocking.
"Hurry up, it's too late." Ye Feng was not in the mood to amuse Captain Xu here, turned around and walked to the people who were leaning against the mountain wall, ready to take a short rest, and said, "Everyone be quiet, I have bad news to tell you." ”
"Huh? Bad news? What's the news? ”
Everyone muttered a few words, quickly quieted down, and looked at Ye Feng nervously.
Ye Feng looked at the helpless passengers, couldn't bear it, sighed, and said, "The pirates are going to set fire to the island, so we need to get out of here as soon as possible, please cooperate and move quickly." Otherwise, the consequences are serious. ”
"Huh? Set fire to the island? Oh my God, aren't we dead? Even if you run out, you won't be able to survive. In the crowd, I don't know who shouted a word, but actually cried!
And her shout seemed to poke the tears of the already exhausted people, and in an instant, the cave was already enveloped in crying.
"What are you crying about?! If you grind here for a while, you won't need pirates to come and kill you, just the smoke from burning the island will choke you here! Ye Feng scolded angrily.
If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, he would definitely have taught the passenger who had just taken the lead in disturbing people's hearts a good lesson. Are you kidding? Now is the moment when time is more important than gold, and I don't want to know how to escape, but cry here?
Does crying work? If crying works, what's the fight? Before every war, send a bunch of women out and cry and cry, isn't there everything?
Ye Feng obviously misestimated people's psychological state.
For most people, after all kinds of hardships, in fact, the psychological defense line is as fragile as a thin piece of paper. At this time, as long as he blows lightly, he can be defeated like a mountain and collapsed.
And the first cry just now was the "gentle blow" faced by the psychological defense line of everyone in this cave.
So, in Ye Feng's roar, everyone's cries not only did not subside, but increased a few points.
"Brother Ye, a lot of white smoke has begun to appear outside."
At this time, the crew member in charge of the guard outside hurriedly ran in and said in Ye Feng's ear, looking extremely nervous.
"Okay, I got it!" Ye Feng nodded, gritted his teeth, and picked up the gun in his hand that he had taken from the pirates under Vals.
"Bang!"
Ye Feng pulled the trigger and fired a shot at the top of the cave, and the rocks on the top of the cave fell down with the bullets.
The passengers, on the other hand, were instantly stunned by the gunshot, and their crying stopped suddenly.
Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Feng, who had a solemn face.
"Now, I announce that Captain Xu will lead you to the shore of the downwind of the island. Everyone must leave the cave within three minutes, and you're welcome! ”
After speaking, Ye Feng picked up the pistol and pointed it in front of a passenger in the front row, and the "bang" was a shot.
The bullet hit the ground, and the stirred up stones splashed on the passenger's face, causing him to scream: "I listen to you!" I listen to you! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! ”
As he spoke, he held his head tightly in his hands and squatted on the ground, trembling with fear.
No one expected that at this life-and-death moment, Ye Feng would be so ruthless and resolute. Just now, Captain Xu was still sighing about how to deal with the passengers' fearful feelings, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, it had been neatly solved by Ye Feng.
"Everyone take their things, follow Captain Xu, and start retreating!" Ye Feng shouted loudly, and his voice was transmitted for a long time in the narrow cave, revealing a kind of majesty that only a soldier has.
"Okay, everyone, don't panic, hurry up, follow me!" Captain Xu naturally wouldn't drop his chain, so he hurriedly stood up and led the passengers to quickly evacuate outside the cave.
Time is of the essence, and everyone knows that this is a race against death. Even those who were afraid of difficulties at the beginning, once they joined the retreating army, their actions were extremely profitable. In less than three minutes, the passengers in the cave had already retreated cleanly.
Ye Feng let out a long breath and pinned the gun to his waist.
"Ye Feng!" At this time, a crisp shout suddenly came from the entrance of the cave, and Ye Feng turned his head to see that it was none other than Tan Weiwei, who ran to attack the enemy like himself after going to the island.
"The fire on the island is getting bigger and bigger." When she saw the crowd that had just evacuated, she looked for her all the way and quickly told Ye Feng the news.
"Let's go! Let's get out of here! Ye Feng frowned, stretched out his hand, and led everyone to quickly withdraw from the cave.
At this time, the situation on the island was really as Tan Weiwei said. The small island is almost completely covered in white smoke, and there is a scorching feeling in the air, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of "crackling", which is getting closer and closer to them.
"Let's go! Go to the beach! Ye Feng said, leading Tan Weiwei and the rest of the crew to run towards the sea quickly. In the process, he deliberately avoided the direction of Captain Xu's evacuation, and was careful not to let the pirates take them to the pot.
The small details happened to fall in Tan Weiwei's eyes, and naturally he was emotional.
"Brothers, they have been completely trapped by us. Listen to Lao Tzu, take a gun and open the way, and kill them for Lao Tzu! On the other side of the island, Vals waved his gun and shouted at the pirates.
"Listen to the boss! Let's rush! I don't know who shouted in the crowd, but the pirates, who had always been fearless of death, rushed to the other end of the island as soon as they were agitated.
For Ye Feng, the situation is really unfavorable at this time. Because with the evacuation, he discovered an embarrassing reality: if they wanted to avoid being directly engulfed by the fire, they had to quickly rush to the beach to wash off the gunpowder on their bodies, but the snakes and lizards on the island were evacuated in the same direction as them!
He led the crew as he ran, carefully avoiding the snakes and lizards that passed by like arrows, and he was nervous like never before.
"Ye Feng, the situation doesn't seem to be good." Tan Weiwei also saw the tension of the situation at this time.
"We can't do so much, let's withdraw to the edge of the island first, and then make plans." Ye Feng said, but he didn't dare to stop at all.
On the other side of the island, Captain Xu had already settled the panicked passengers. Compared with Ye Feng, they were much luckier, because the snakes and lizards on the island seemed to have chosen to avoid them in this direction. Except for the occasional stumbling into one of them, their surroundings were quieter than ever.
The mood of the crowd, under the comfort of the crew, has slowly calmed down.
"Doot, doot", at this moment, the satellite phone in Captain Xu's pocket suddenly rang!
He was stunned for a moment, quickly took out the phone and looked at it, and was overjoyed: it was the sea rescue team calling!
"Please report your location! Please report your location! We're coming for reinforcements, we're coming for reinforcements! As soon as the phone was connected, an extremely excited voice came.
After briefly explaining the situation in a few words, Captain Xu was relieved.
His eyes rolled, and a bold idea jumped into his mind.
