Chapter 279: The ...... with the Enemy Share the spoils
After sunset, after learning that the children had damaged most of the submarine models, the clan leader thought about it and felt that since An Feng didn't speak, he pretended not to know...... He guessed correctly, those submarines were not actually damaged, An Feng was releasing those submarines.
These submarines are similar to unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, a kind of underwater reconnaissance equipment, and the miniature high-energy batteries embedded in it can maintain a uniform speed ⊥ the submarine for 24 days.
On the map, the Red Sea may seem small, but it's big enough to ⊥ a high-speed speedboat for a whole day, and it's also the busiest in the world. It is said that tens of millions of ships pass through the Suez Canal every year, and the Red Sea is the only way to the Suez Canal, which means that no less than 100,000 ships enter this area every day, and it is difficult to count the ships stranded in this area at the same time.
An Feng's target to assassinate is very cunning, he sailed a pleasure boat into this sea area, which is equivalent to hiding a tree in the forest, and in the same sea area, there are at least a thousand yachts with exactly similar ship types, not to mention those yachts that deliberately avoid satellite searches.
In five days, the unmanned reconnaissance plane has almost passed through the sifting of the Red Sea, and now the suspected targets have gradually been identified among the 37 yachts of the same type -- at this time, it is not enough to reconnoiter from high altitudes, but also to make further judgments by eavesdropping on the conversations in the cabin. As a result, An Feng released nine underwater reconnaissance weapons this time.
After these submarine models leave the island, they will approach the bulkhead of the yacht from underwater, and then attach to the bulkhead, and send all the sounds in the cabin back to the intelligent computer, wait for the analysis to be completed, confirm whether there is any suspicion, and then decide on follow-up actions.
Early in the morning of the sixth day, a local smuggling ship happened to leave the island, so An Feng turned into one of the smuggling crew members, quietly left the island under the cover of the local tribe, and drove towards the target sea area.
The fishing boats traveled for a day, and from time to time they lazily cast a few nets, they did not care about the harvest, and at night, the fishing boats approached a rock reef in disguise, and the boats hid in the rocky thickets, and the people on board began to wait patiently.
Near midnight, there was a motor sound on the sea, the sound of the motor was faint at first, after a while, a searchlight went out of the darkness, slowly towards the direction of the reef thicket, the smuggling captain waved his hand, signaled his ship's first mate to contact each other with a light signal, and when he turned around, he found that the guest who had been hiding in the cabin since boarding the ship appeared, this guest was carrying a backpack, in the night, his lenses flashed blue faintly, and this light was still beating, like a TV playing some kind of song and dance.
An Feng asked in standard Arabic, "Is this the fishing boat that came to trade?" “
The smuggling captain nodded: "Distinguished guests, we are going to Sudan, where alcohol and smoking are prohibited, Allah is above, there are always some people who like to secretly taste a little good spirit, and we are the ones who help them fulfill their wishes." ”
"Is it safe here?" An Feng stared at the fishing boats that were getting closer and closer, and asked.
The smuggling captain replied quickly: "No problem, it can't be the customs patrol team who came, they are lazy, and they have collected our money, it is impossible to go out at this time." In addition, there was only one way to get in and out of the reef where we were, and he did not dare to sail into this reef even if the ship from the opposite side was hostile. ”
An Feng pouted, this ship is old-fashioned, now there is sonar equipment on board, even if there is no reef bush travel route, there is no danger of driving the boat into the reef crevices - of course, this is when the sea surface is not stormy
The opposite ship has begun to change its lights, and the smuggling ship has also begun to change its lights, these lights change irregularly, and they are not passwords at all, just a signal agreed in advance between the two parties to the transaction, only to see the smuggling captain greet: "Okay, start the engine, slowly accelerate, let's go out to trade with the other party." ”
The captain urged the team members to get busy, An Feng stood next to him and pushed his glasses, as if talking about today's weather conditions, and said lightly: "Please introduce me to the opposite boat, I will leave on their boat."
The smuggling captain was stunned for a moment, he spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid they don't accept strangers." ”
"How to gain their trust is your business, and it is my business to get them to agree to my carrying," An Feng said calmly.
The captain swallowed, he had received a warning from the clan leader before, and he knew that this mysterious guest was very big, so although he was embarrassed, he still nodded reluctantly: "Okay, let me try." ”
In the dark sea, the two ships were close to each other, and the crew began to carry goods, such as tobacco and liquor, from the smuggling ship, and some goods from the opposite ship...... As for whether the goods exchanged between the two sides were just strong liquor and tobacco as the smuggling captain said, An Feng didn't bother to ask, only to see the smuggling captain talking with the other captain for a while, and after a while, the captain on the opposite side waved at An Feng, and An Feng stepped lightly across the gangplank and came to the other party's ship.
"Well, I heard that you are their most honored guest, but my ship is full of valuable cargo...
"Twenty thousand dollars," An Feng replied crisply.
The captain on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "I want to say 50,000 dollars." ”
Running around on the sea, smuggling for what, isn't it money? All the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. An Feng nodded calmly: "Deal"
The captain of the other party grinned, he looked at An Feng's backpack, and immediately continued: "I need to pay in cash." ”
An Feng nodded: "I'll give you cash ...... after the boat starts."
The captain of the other party immediately called a crew member and led An Feng to the cargo hold, at this time, the smuggling captain where An Feng was squirmed, he wanted to remind the captain who traded with him, but seeing An Feng waving goodbye to him lightly, the smuggling captain shook his head with a wry smile and swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach.
One hour later, after the two ships had finished carrying the goods, the Sudanese smuggling ship was started, because at night, the sound of the engine would come far away, so the smuggling ship went very slowly, and then the sea was dotted with stars, and the whole Red Sea was like a milky way, and everywhere there were identification lights lit up on the side of the ship, and if this was land, then the whole Red Sea would be a bright city that never sleeps - no, the whole province that never sleeps.
Of course, under the cover of the dark night, there are many smuggling cargo ships like Sudanese boats, and the oil tanker that An Feng assassinated the target this time was about the same size as the smuggling ship.
An Feng's position is at the stern of the cabin, which is almost the most remote and aft position in the cabin, and there is no fixed bed in the narrow cabin, only a hammock hanging between the beams. There were large and small cargo boxes all around, except for a faint blue fluorescent light lit up through the hatch for entry and exit.
At first, it seemed that the crew were busy, so An Feng was the only one in the cargo hold, and when the engine sound became even, several crew members with lanterns walked out of the cabin and walked noisily to their beds, and suddenly the small cabin was filled with the smell of garlic, stinky feet, and sweat.
People kept coming down one after another, but no one approached the corner where An Feng was.
There were two groups of crew members gathered around to play cards under the lights, and another group of crew members seemed to be playing mahjong, and the mahjong tiles were rubbed together and rattled, which looked crisp in the enclosed space of the cabin...... But all the sounds pale in comparison to the sound of the engine.
An Feng's position was close to the engine, although the ship tried to maintain a constant speed as much as possible, but the sound of the motor was still humming, overshadowing the noise nearby, and in the midst of this noise, the corner where An Feng stayed was dark, as if there was no popularity.
After a while, the captain led three or four big men with lanterns down to the cabin, they greeted the crew all the way, and walked to the hammock where An Feng was, when the afterglow of the light illuminated An Feng's hammock, I saw An Feng turn over and jump off the hammock, he took it out of his pocket, took out 20,000 US dollars and handed it to the captain: "This is a deposit, when I get to the place......
The captain smiled and refused the $20,000 handed over by An Feng: "I still want more." ”
An Feng glared at the captain: "Lavido said you can trust ......"
"Lavido" is the name of the smuggling captain who brought An Feng.
The captain on the opposite side hugged his arms and grinned: "My transaction with Lavido is limited to goods, people are not counted, and my transaction with you is only a single transaction, if your body appears at sea, I don't think Lavido will blame me, in the vast sea, accidents can happen at any time." ”
An Feng's gaze met the captain's for a moment, and at this time, the crew members who were playing in the cabin stopped their movements, some of them stood up, and some of them sat down, but they had turned their eyes to An Feng. The atmosphere in the cabin was oppressive.
After staring at each other for a moment, An Feng gave in. With a bitter face, he turned around to get his backpack, the captain looked An Feng up and down, at this time An Feng was wearing a pair of sweatpants and a jacket, and the clothes on his body were very thin, but because An Feng was tall, he could only keep his head down when he stood in the cabin, with a helpless look.
An Feng opened the side pocket of the backpack, revealing a thick stack of banknotes, only to see An Feng take out some of the banknotes and make a counting, the captain smiled and spread his hands widely: "No, no, my distinguished guest, I don't think you are very good at counting, let me help you count it." ”
An Feng stopped taking the money, and he was depressed and asked helplessly: "Are you sure?" ”
The captain nodded playfully, stretched out his big hand like a bear's paw, and said with a hippie smile: "My distinguished guest, when you arrive at my ship, you had better hand me the backpack together, and let me count whether there are any dangerous goods in it." ”
An Feng seemed to accept his fate, he reluctantly raised his backpack with his left hand, at this time An Feng's face was hidden in the shadows, and he added weakly: "Why do you always force me." ”
This sentence did not seem to be a rebellion, it seemed to beg for mercy, and the captain looked up to the sky and laughed proudly...... A minute later, An Feng stood in a pool of blood, there was no living person in the entire cabin, he was bare-handed, the clothes on his body were not messy at all, and he continued to repeat in a helpless tone at the fallen ship full of corpses: "Why do you always force me." ”
At this time, An Feng's backpack was thrown on the floor of the cabin, and the open backpack revealed a stack of money, as well as a silver lunch box, An Feng didn't even look at the contents of the backpack, he turned around and walked onto the deck with his bare hands.
On the deck, there were only three crew members on duty who did not go down to the cabin, one crew member stood on the ship's floor, observing the surroundings with an infrared telescope, when An Feng walked behind the other party, this person did not hear the slightest footsteps, and when he felt that the telescope in his hand was grabbed by the other hand, he turned his face in surprise, and saw an oncoming fist.
The power of this fist was like a whistling train, the head of the shipbuilding observer popped, bursting like a broken watermelon, An Feng punched over, and then turned his fist into a palm, pinched the opponent's neck, he gently put the opponent's corpse down, let the corpse lie on the deck, and then carefully put the infrared telescope into the drawer of the observation platform.
Next is the captain's room, next to the captain's room is the telegraph on duty, he is observing the radar signal, while listening to the communication of nearby ships, this person also did not find An Feng who was close to him, and when he felt that his neck was choked, he didn't wait for the shouting to come out, An Feng's hand twisted, and the other party's cervical spine made a click, and immediately became silent.
The first mate on duty didn't feel strange when he saw An Feng walking in, he raised his eyebrows and asked An Feng: "That old camel ransacked you, right?" I knew he would. ”
The words of the surviving first mate made An Feng's footsteps pause, he stood in place and thought for a moment, and spread his hands at the other party: with a soft smile and asked, "Cooperation, or death?" ”
The first mate was also stunned for a moment, and asked mechanically: "What do you mean?" ”
An Feng hooked his hand at the other party, and continued to say in the same language: "Now, there are only two living people left on the ship, I really need a helper, if you are willing to help me, you are willing to cooperate with me, I can share the benefits of the ship with you." ”
After a while, the first mate gasped and replied, "The old camel thought he had met a sheep, but who would have thought that he had met a lion...... Well, I thought Lavido was trying to explain something, I had just reminded the old camel that since you were their most honored guest, it was impossible for you to endure the insult, and sure enough, something had happened. ”
An Feng stood in place and quietly listened to the other party's grievances. Seeing that An Feng didn't make any further moves, the first mate crooked his mouth mockingly, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I promised you on my lips, but in fact I quietly betrayed you?"
An Feng smiled coldly: "What do you have to lose by cooperating with me?" Let me count: after the cooperation, you will share the profits of this ship, maybe you are worried about your family, maybe these people are your relatives and friends, but if you feel that this cargo is still not enough to compensate your family, make an offer. ”
After a pause, An Feng immediately added: "I'm not here to rob, I just want to stay at sea for twenty-four hours, and then I will leave quietly." For me, there are not many people like you, and there is nothing without you, and if you can keep this ship moving within twenty-four hours, then all the cargo on this ship will be yours, and I will pay you another fifty thousand dollars.
If you don't want to do that, it doesn't cost me much, it's just a bullet, and I'm going to be on my own. ”
The first mate on the other side understood, An Feng had something to do on this sea, and he needed to stay on the ship for twenty-four hours, if the first mate was willing to cooperate and be responsible for controlling the ship while An Feng was doing his own thing, then An Feng would leave after finishing his work, and the rest of the things on the ship would be his own.
Of course, if the first mate is unwilling to cooperate, An Feng will not leave such a dangerous person on the ship, he will make trouble himself, and complete his own work while personally manipulating the ship.
Even if he agreed to cooperate, secretly betraying An Feng would not cause much harm, because the other party would leave in 24 hours, if the lazy Sudanese police found the smuggling boat within these 24 hours, it would be a big deal that An Feng left early, and this ship of smuggled goods would inevitably fall into the hands of the Sudanese police.
After calculation, the failure of the cooperation An Feng did not suffer much loss, and the biggest benefit from the success of the cooperation was the only living person on the ship, and the first mate who was still controlling the ship was still in control.
The first mate immediately figured it out, he licked his lips, and asked tentatively, "Do you know what kind of cargo is on board?" ”
An Feng burst into a bright smile: "Lavido told me that it is forbidden liquor and cigarettes, but I know that there are still weapons and munitions, as for the goods you smuggle out, it is very simple, blood diamonds from the Darfur region of Sudan, or blood diamonds from Rwanda and Ethiopia to Sudan, or ivory, crocodile skin, python skin, etc. ”
The first mate nodded heavily: "That's right, in fact, the value of the goods on the ship is not high, and it is not easy to sell the arms or something...... If you will allow me to give me the captain's private collection, then I am willing to cooperate with you. ”
An Feng nodded without hesitation, and the first mate immediately bowed: "Okay, please allow me to go over and search." ”
Half an hour later, the first mate who reappeared had an excited expression, at this time An Feng had already cleaned up the cabin, those corpses had been thrown into the sea by him, and all the blood stains in the cabin were cleaned up, seeing the first mate reappear, An Feng nodded: "You are at the helm." ”
The first mate shook his head, and then put a small box in his hand on the table, without waiting for An Feng to refuse, he hurriedly opened the box, and said in his mouth: "I know that the old camel has to pick some things he likes every time to stay, we have been in this line for three years, and I know that the old camel has hidden a lot of good things in the past three years, you can see what you like......"
The first mate's attitude was wise, he let An Feng see his gains, lest An Feng regret it afterwards and not admit it, but he obviously measured An Feng by common sense.
