Chapter 180: If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger
The siege of the pirates shot very fiercely, and after Zhou Xuan was injured and fell to the ground, several people in front of him were quite far away from him, but even if they were close, no one could take care of him and Gao Yuzhen at this time, and those who could turn back were almost dead, regardless of their own lives to save him.
After Zhou Xuan fell to the ground, he still tried his best to drag Gao Yuzhen to crawl behind, but at this time, someone suddenly opened fire in the woods two hundred meters away, although he couldn't see anyone, but the fire was very fierce.
Brooklyn and Thomas were startled, and then fell to the ground, not daring to rush forward before they could figure out who was in the woods in front of them.
But Zhou Xuan immediately distinguished, the firepower in the woods was shooting at the pirates on the sea behind them, and the pirates were a little flustered after being suddenly attacked, and then turned around and retreated.
The firepower that shot at Zhou Xuan's beach was also much weaker, and Zhou Xuan saw a graceful figure in the woods running out quickly, holding a semi-automatic rifle while shooting and bending over towards him.
Zhou Xuan was stunned, and then his eyes widened and he saw that the person who rushed out of the woods turned out to be Fu Ying, his Yingying!
Zhou Xuan suddenly felt that the blood in his chest was rising, his eyes were hot, and he shouted loudly: "Yingying! ”
Fu Tianlai also saw that it was Fu Ying, and hurriedly beckoned the bodyguards to turn around and shoot the pirates, covering Fu Ying, and more than a dozen people from the woods also bent down and rushed out.
After the pirate's shooting was weakened, Thomas immediately carried the bazooka, adjusted the firing point, and then fired a shot, which was very accurate, and blew up a motorboat at the front of the siege, and the two people on the boat were naturally shattered, and after the sparks, only a few pieces of rags fell to the surface of the sea.
Now that the enemy is outnumbered, the combat effectiveness of the pirates is not as strong as theirs, and there are not as many people as them, so when I saw that the momentum was not right, I quickly turned around and retreated, this time it was really withdrawn!
Fu Ying rushed over desperately, only to feel that this short period of more than 100 meters seemed to be extremely far away, and finally ran to the place where Zhou Xuan was lying, and knelt on the ground and desperately hugged Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan only felt that the warmth in his arms was soft, and that real feeling came back, and it was really Fu Ying in his arms.
Wen saved for a while before pushing Fu Ying's head away and looking at her carefully.
Fu Ying's face was full of tears, the expression on her face was crying and laughing, but her hair was a little unkempt.
Zhou Xuan stretched out his fingers and gently wiped the tears on her face, then said with a deep face: "Yingying, when I am in danger, you have to follow me, not an inch away, when you are in danger, you just leave me aside, how can you do this?" ”
Fu Ying choked up and said, "I'm sorry, you...... You're hurt! ”
Fu Ying said and quickly let go of his hand, lowering his head to check Zhou Xuan's injuries.
Zhou Xuan's shot just hit the thigh, and the bullet was nailed to the leg bone, and it stands to reason that the injury was not light, but Zhou Xuan converted the bullet just when the pirate flinched, and then used the ice gas to absorb it clean, and then used the ice gas to quickly heal the wound, and now from the outside, although it looks bloody, in fact, the injury has been reduced to only a little wound on the outside, and the injury inside has recovered ninety percent.
At a time when his life is greatly threatened, there is no need to be polite, if he is not good to himself, he is harming himself, where will Zhou Xuan hesitate!
Of course, Fu Ying didn't understand, so she quickly tore off her shirt to wrap Zhou Xuan's wound.
The pirates had slipped away without a trace at this time, and Li Junjie and their team came out to meet and talk to Fu Tianlai.
Gao Yuzhen also woke up at this time, looking at Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying were still in a daze, she fainted when she was in the most thrilling moment, but looking at it now, she still understands that Zhou Xuan saved her.
But Gao Yuzhen hasn't figured out what's going on now, who is this jealously beautiful girl in front of her? But looking at her and Zhou Xuan's actions, she is obviously Zhou Xuan's lover, and Gao Yuzhen has always felt mysterious about Zhou Xuan's identity, but from New York to here, I always feel that Zhou Xuan has a kind of intimate taste.
Fu Tianlai figured out their situation from Li Junjie's mouth.
It turned out that Fu Ying's rescue team encountered the most powerful pirate gang in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, Somali sailors, after a fierce battle, their ship was blown up, satellite phones and other communication equipment fell into the sea, fortunately not far from this seabird, after escaping to the island has been holding on for four days, but there is no way to escape without a boat to pass.
In the fierce battle with the pirates, six people died, plus Fu Ying and Li Junjie, there were a total of sixteen people left, except for weapons, everything else fell into the sea, but because of the weapons, the pirates who had fought with them and suffered a big loss did not dare to come to this sea area when there were few people.
In the past few days, Fu Ying and Li Junjie, these sixteen people have really suffered enough, there is no fresh water, it doesn't rain, there is no water source on this island, and there is no food, the first two days also caught a few fish in the shallow sea, but then even small fish and shrimp can not be caught, due to the topography and water flow, there are no fish in the shallow water near this island, there are no animals on the island, there are no guns and no hunting, no food or drink, and no ships passing, there are two ships passing by, but it is a pirate ship.
Until I met Zhou Xuan and them today, I thought it was a pirate's speedboat at first, because the style was not much different, so I didn't dare to run to the beach to call, for fear of attracting a large number of pirates and trouble, and then I saw the people on the yacht and a few speedboats and motorboats chasing behind, so I was sure that they were not pirates.
Then when the yacht quickly drove to the beach, Fu Ying was overjoyed after seeing Zhou Xuan and Fu Tianlai in the woods, but he never thought that Zhou Xuan was shot, and rushed out desperately in a panic.
Zhou Xuan heard Fu Ying say that he hadn't eaten or drunk for a few days, so he quickly turned around and went to the yacht to get food and water packets, and then ran back.
Zhou Xuan took out the food and distributed it to Fu Ying, Li Junjie and the fourteen mercenaries, this group of elites was really hungry, and took the food and devoured it.
Brooklyn frowned, eating and drinking like this, the food they brought was only enough for this meal, and the drinking water was enough for about three days, but it was impossible for a yacht to carry so many people, if they wanted to leave, they would only be six people when they came, and they could only take another five people at most, this has reached the limit, there will be eleven people left, if the food is eaten clean now, how can the people who stay hold on until the rescue comes?
Because I was worried about the discovery of pirates, I didn't dare to burn a fire during the day, and at night I burned a fire in the woods, and there were still many trees on the island, and there were many dead branches and rotten trees, and there was no shortage of firewood.
Brooklyn and Thomas called a few more mercenaries to tow the yacht to the beach, and then fixed the cables, leaving two people to keep vigil at night, and the rest of the men retreated into the woods.
When he didn't see Fu Ying, Zhou Xuan kept thinking about what to do, but when he met, he couldn't even say cruel words, Fu Ying took his hand and sat down by a big tree far away from others.
After snuggling for a long time, Fu Yingcai said faintly: "I just know, if you knew that I was leaving for this, you would definitely follow, so I stayed like that, but you still ran away!" ”
"Fool!" Zhou Xuan said angrily, "If you have three long and two short, do you think I will have a good life?" ”
Fu Ying didn't speak, she lay her face on Zhou Xuanqu's mouth, and the tears just fell down dripping.
Zhou Xuan sighed, this time he didn't need to wipe it with his hands, he licked it with his mouth.
Fu Ying laughed out loud, turned her head and wiped her tears, and said in annoyance: "It's getting more and more shameless!" Although he said this, there was no real anger in his tone.
Zhou Xuan straightened his face, and then said: "Yingying, your eldest cousin's negotiation with pirates in Somalia has confirmed that your parents are in the Somali sailors' gang, but the specific address is unknown, I have been worried about you, but now it's okay, as long as you try to find your parents' place of imprisonment, it will be easy to do!" ”
As soon as Fu Ying heard about her parents, she was immediately worried, and said: "We have spent a lot of money to find out the news, and we are basically sure that my parents are not in any land in Somalia, if it is on the island in the Gulf of Aden, I think that this group of pirates has a secret stronghold on a certain island, and this stronghold, except for the members of the pirates, outsiders do not know about it, and when the hostages they kidnapped pass through some places, they are all blindfolded, and if anyone sees it, they will be executed immediately!" ”
Zhou Xuan was also worried, but he was not worried about the safety of Fu Ying's parents, the pirate side sent a negotiator to negotiate with Jonny, if the hostage lost his life, it would lose the meaning of negotiation, and usually in the negotiation, the relatives of the hostages would ask for evidence to prove that the hostages were alive, Zhou Xuan was worried about the lives of ordinary crew members, such as Gao Yuzhen's father.
If the pirates were to scare the shipowners and force them to raise money as soon as possible to pay the ransom, they would kill some ordinary crew members to kill the chickens and monkeys.
However, Somali pirates have a rule, which is very trustworthy, as long as the shipowner and the hostage's family are willing to pay, they will not harm the hostage, and as long as the ransom is received, the hostage will be released safely.
The hostages were almost certainly taken by the Somali sailors, while the ocean-going freighter of Fu's shipping company was abandoned forty miles west of the Somali port, and Jonny had ordered the ship to leave the Somali port and is currently in the Kenyan seaport.
Gao Yuzhen walked over and said to Zhou Xuan: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Fu asked me to invite you over, saying that there is something!" ”
Zhou Xuan nodded, got up and pulled Fu Ying up, and the three of them returned to the edge of the fire.
Fu Tianlai waved his hand to Zhou Xuan and Fu Ying, and said, "Sit down and talk slowly." ”
After sitting down by the fire, Fu Tianlai looked at Zhou Xuan again, and then said: "Just now Jonny called again, and the negotiations with the Somali sailors have made great progress, and the preliminary negotiation has reached a ransom for two million US dollars for the crew of the ocean liner, except for the captain and Yingying's parents and other six executives, and the time of the transaction is tomorrow at noon." ”
This is indeed good news, if you want to rescue, the more hostages, the more difficult it will be, that's for sure, and with the situation that Fu is facing now, if it is only to rescue Fu Ying's parents, it will undoubtedly be condemned by all sides of the international community, and Fu will also face the danger of collapse, no matter how much money is spent, it is necessary to redeem the crew.
However, the deal between the executives and Fu Jue and his wife was not negotiated, because the price had not yet been negotiated, and the pirates had made a slight concession on the asking price of one billion US dollars, but it was still as high as 950 million.
After all, the deal of the crew is negotiated, and the negotiation also takes time, I remember once, they kidnapped more than 20 hostages of an oil tanker in East Asia, and the negotiation took seven months, and in the end they also got a ransom of 1.8 million US dollars, and now they have a lot more experience and patience, and they are not in a hurry at this time.
Of course, what they are most assured of is that so far, the armed rescue of the hostages has not happened, and this is their confidence.
Fu Tianlai said anxiously: "If we can't find out where the hostages are being held in a short period of time and can't rescue them, then we will face a dangerous situation, this danger is not only Yingying's parents, but our entire Fu group, this is a chain reaction, this matter is the fuse, as long as it burns, it will ......."
Zhou Xuan didn't care at all about the crisis of the Fu family consortium that Fu Tianlai was most concerned about, at present, he was most worried about the safety of Fu Ying's parents, if her parents couldn't be rescued safely, then how could Yingying be happy with him? Maybe it will be difficult to see Fu Ying with a smile and happiness in the future, they are Fu Ying's parents, that is, his Zhou Xuan's father-in-law and mother-in-law!
As long as they are rescued, Zhou Xuan doesn't care if the Fu family has money or not, anyway, he has enough money to support his family, and he has the ability to continue to make money, so it's enough.
"Elder Fu, I propose that we use our yacht as a tool to transport a group of people back to Kenya, and then mobilize a few larger ships to come over, and then we can search other islands to see if we can find the secret stronghold of pirates."
The method proposed by Zhou Xuan actually had this idea in all of their minds, but everyone knew that the person who went back first would definitely be better, and the people who stayed here had no food or drink, and they might encounter a large number of pirates coming to kill them at any time, which can be said to be dangerous.
Because of today's daytime events, it can be said that their location has been exposed, and the pirates who fled back may soon gather more people.
So everyone is thinking about who goes and who stays!
The yacht can only carry a maximum of 12 people, and it is already overloaded, and if the overload is too large, there is a possibility that there will be pirates on the way, and if the speed is affected, it will also be fatal.
Fu Ying's original team had a total of sixteen people, and Fu Tianlai came here plus the yacht master There were a total of six people, a total of twenty-two, if he went back to take away twelve people, then there would definitely be ten people left.
Looking at the people around, it can be seen from their expressions that none of these people are willing to stay.
Although these people are all doing things like licking blood on the knife edge, in terms of survival, no one wants to let go, no matter how much money they make, they can't do it without a life.
Zhou Xuan thought about it, and said out loud first: "Fu Lao, I propose a plan, go, it is sure that it will not be finished at one time, I propose, Fu Lao, Yingying, Junjie, Miss Gao, and the yacht master go first, and there are still seven places left, and they will each draw lots, and those who stay and go first will have their own destiny, and then say, whether they go or stay, it is dangerous, just what everyone thinks!" ”
As soon as Zhou Xuan's plan was proposed, Gao Yuzhen made a translator, and basically everyone agreed that the few fixed personnel who went were their employers, and it was right to ensure the safety of their employers first, otherwise who would take the money with?
In addition, there is a girl and a yacht master, which is even less to fight, and the rest of the people, who can go or stay, are all based on luck, which is no opinion.
Zhou Xuan has always been a person who doesn't talk much, but as soon as this opinion is said, most people have a good impression of him, and it can be seen that Zhou Xuan is not a person with good skills, unlike them, it is not easy for an ordinary person to have this kind of thought, it is better to die than to live, in front of death, how many people are not afraid?
Fu Tianlai's face was silent, but his opinion of Zhou Xuan in his heart had indeed changed a lot, at least at the moment of life and death, Zhou Xuan really did not show the appearance of a bad seed, and secondly, he also put Yingying's safety first, coupled with the strange ability that Zhou Xuan had shown in front of him, Fu Tianlai had great hopes for Zhou Xuan.
Fu Ying immediately said: "Grandpa, you and your cousin go first, I want to be with Zhou Xuan!" ”
Fu Tianlai and Li Junjie glanced at each other, Fu Ying's temper is clear to them, and they will never say two, unless Zhou Xuan says to go, Fu Tianlai thought in his heart, it is not difficult to get Zhou Xuan away first, because he is also a member of the Fu family, and for mercenaries, he is also their main employee, so it is easy to say that he wants to go first.
But Zhou Xuan really wanted to stay, because after the fire with the pirates today, it is estimated that a large number of pirates will come over tomorrow, in that case, he will simply surrender and be escorted back to the stronghold by the pirates, so that it is very likely to meet Fu Ying's parents, as long as they see them, then there is a chance to rescue them.
Zhou Xuan's grasp is, of course, his ice qi ability, and Fu Tianlai is the only one who knows it, so there are some things that cannot be said explicitly.
There is an old saying: If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!
