Hostage abuse and ransom demands are the most common things pirates do.

When the eighteen Chinese hostages were kidnapped, they had already been abused, and at this moment they were huddled in the corner of the cell in a panic, and no one knew what fate awaited them.

"Oops, my leg may be broken, it hurts me to death."

"I'm so hungry, now give me a sheep and I can swallow it in one bite."

"Alas, if I had known that I would have followed the escort navy, I would not have been caught by pirates."

"Mom, I'm so scared, I'm afraid pirates will kill me......"

Moaning, sighing, crying, mingling in the cell, sending everyone into an unprecedented panic.

Captain Shi Jian was as remorseful and frightened as the others, but he knew he couldn't show it, otherwise the crew would really have a nervous breakdown.

He coughed vigorously, attracting people's attention, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, the state will definitely try to rescue us." ”

"The country, will it really come to our rescue?" Someone asked, with a deep uncertainty in his voice.

"Yes, definitely," Shi Jian nodded vigorously, "I'll tell you, I know a Chinese captain who works for a Korean, he was once kidnapped by Somali pirates, and the Koreans refused to pay the ransom, and put the blame on him to claim compensation from his family......"

", these sticks are really bad!" A sailor said hatefully.

"Well, it's really ringing, when he heard the result from the pirates, the whole person was about to collapse, thinking that he was dead, but he didn't expect that two days later, the state sent someone to rescue him." Shi Jian said.

"The state sent troops? Like in the movies? Someone asked in surprise.

"I don't know the specifics, he didn't elaborate, it seems that he signed a confidentiality contract and didn't let him say it to the outside, but he told me that it was the people from the country who rescued them from the pirates without spending money. So don't be afraid, let's be patient. Shi Jian said.

"If that's the case, then it's great, the state should send someone quickly."

"yes, yes, I really don't want to spend a day here."

"If the country really rescues me, I won't scold the country for the rest of my life......"

The crew's emotions were high, whispering about when the state would send troops to rescue them.

At that moment, the door was suddenly opened, and the vicious pirates rushed in, and without saying a word, picked up the handle of the gun in their hands and smashed it at them.

The crew members were beaten to the point of bleeding and rolled on the ground in pain, and the cells were filled with screams.

A pirate walked in with a mobile phone, shouting in the local language while recording the video, and whoever he pointed his finger at would be taken care of by the pirate and beaten harder than the others.

Shi Jian held his head in his arms, let himself suffer as little as possible, and shouted in English: "Don't fight, don't fight, don't you just want money, I'll let the family give it to you." ”

The pirate paused the video, and the others stopped beating, came to Shi Jian, squatted down, and asked in a cold voice, "You're the captain, aren't you?" ”

Shi Jian rubbed the smashed place, nodded, and said weakly: "I am the captain, we will let the family find a way to give you the ransom as soon as possible, you don't beat us again." ”

"Very well, now I need you to cooperate with us a little more."

The pirate grabbed Shi Jian by the collar and lifted it, causing the other hostages to kneel in a row, and then pressed Shi Jian to the front and knelt down.

He pointed his mobile phone camera at Shi Jian and said, "Now, tell you Huaxia, if you don't come up with 2 million US dollars within three days, none of you want to live." ”

"Isn't it 1.8 million?" Shi Jian couldn't help but ask.

Syllable!

The pirate kicked Shi Jian in the chest, kicked him in the head, and then pulled him up again, approached his face viciously, and said: "2 million, if you dare to lose one point, I will kill you first!" ”

Shi Jian saw a strong killing intent in the pirate's eyes, and he couldn't help but shrink in fright.

The pirate snorted, pushed him away, and said, "Let's start talking." ”

Shi Jian had no choice but to follow the pirate's request and say to the camera: "I am Shi Jian, the captain of the Canglang of the Huaxia Ocean Shipping Company, there are eighteen of us, and now we have been kidnapped by Somali pirates. They demanded a ransom of $2 million within three days or they began to kill. Please the state, the company, and my family, raise ransom money as soon as possible to save us after getting the news, on behalf of the 18 crew members of the Canglang, I beg you. ”

After Shi Jian finished speaking, the pirate continued: "We don't care what method you use, if the ransom is not credited to the designated account within a week, we will start killing people." Also, don't doubt us, I'll show you now! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a pirate next to him raised his gun and shot Shi Jian in the thigh.

Bang!

Ahh

Shi Jian clutched his thighs and screamed miserably, rolling in pain, and the crew behind him all shivered in fear and shrunk into a ball, while the pirates laughed heartily.

"This is just a warning to you that the next shot will not be in his leg, but in his head. Remember, you only have three days, and our patience is limited. ”

After the pirate finished speaking, he pressed the end button, operated on his phone a few times, and posted the video.

"Go, bandage him, don't let him bleed to death, dead hostages are worthless."

The pirate waved his hand, and immediately one of the pirates walked up to Shi Jian, bandaged him indiscriminately, and left him alone.

Dead hostages are worthless, but as long as they don't say it, who will know that the hostages are dead?

When the pirates left, the crew gathered around Shi Jian, only to see that his wounds were still bleeding outward.

"It's not good to bandage it like this, it's strangled under the wound, it can't stop the bleeding at all, you have to strangle the artery above the wound, I'll get it."

The ship's hygienist still knows how to deal with trauma, so he immediately tore off a strip of his clothes, wrapped it around the wound a few times, and then tied a dead knot.

Shi Jian's blood finally stopped, but the hearts of the crew sank.

"Captain, do you think the state can still come to our rescue?"

"In three days, it is a question of whether we can find where we are, even if the country wants to save us, I am afraid it will be too late."

"yes, it's too short, can we make it this far?"

The crew members were worried, and Shi Jian was also confused: "Will the country really send troops to save us?" ”

At the same time, in the sea not far from the village of Duopu, a black submarine rose to the surface of the sea in the night.

If you don't look closely, you will think that the figure of the submarine is just the back of a whale that floats out of the water to breathe, the only difference is that there is no jet of water when the giant whale breathes.

The hatch of the submarine opened, and the four teams of Qianlong came out of it, wearing diving suits and carrying a large tactical backpack behind each of them.

The bayonet pulled down the mask, waved at everyone, and the eight jumped into the sea and swam towards the shore.

The sea was calm, and it didn't take long for them to swim to the shore and land on the reef.

Everyone took off their wetsuits, opened the tactical backpacks, took out all kinds of equipment from them, and silently assembled them.

Whoa, whoa!

The sound of pulling the bolt of the gun sounded several times in a row, and the members of the Hidden Dragon were fully armed, but the sound of the bolt was drowned out in the sound of the waves crashing against the reef, and it did not come far.

The bayonet waved silently, and everyone sneaked in the direction of Duopu Village.

Although the pirates of Duopu Village did not set up a guard on the shore, the Hidden Dragons still strictly followed the tactical essentials and did not give up any place where there might be a secret outpost.

After sneaking through the jungle in the middle of the night for about four or five kilometers, I finally saw sporadic lights, and the village of Duopu was in front of me.

The bayonet raised its hand, and everyone stopped.

"Chestnut, shepherd, you go and find the sniper position." said the bayonet.

Kurijin and the shepherd were ordered to go, and after a short time, they were informed by the communicator that the sniper was in position.

"Xian'er, take the two of them there." The bayonet said again.

Dewey nodded, and took the two mules and the chicken thief to the village of Duopu.

It's just a rabble of pirates, and if you just exterminate them, it's extremely simple for the hidden dragons.

However, the task of this trip is to rescue the hostages, so naturally they cannot directly rush up and shout and kill, and they must ensure the safety of the hostages.

As a scout, Dewey's mission is to find the hostages' detention and protect them after the battle begins.

In fact, with Dewey's current combat ability, one person is enough to protect the hostages, after all, there are bayonets to attack them on the perimeter, and it is impossible for pirates to divide too many men.

However, the main purpose of this trip is to train the newcomers, and the two mules and chicken thieves, who are newcomers, must participate in the most difficult tasks, which are both tempering and testing them.

The second mule followed behind Dewey, with mixed feelings.

He originally thought that he would be able to compete with Dewey when he arrived in the hidden dragon, but he didn't expect that in the rookie special training, he realized how big the gap between him and Dewey was.

Whether it is shooting or fighting, Dewey left him far behind in every skill that special forces should have.

Because Dewey had been exercising in Qianlong for more than a year, the second mule didn't care about it at first, but after the arrival of the chicken thief, he suddenly found that the chicken thief, who was also a newcomer, could easily crush him, and he became the one with the worst tactical ability in the Qianlong Fourth team.

Later, he heard from the shepherds about the evaluation of the combat position, and he realized that the assault he was serving was actually the most unskilled and was actually a dispensable position.

Although Dewey also served as an assaulter, it was only a year before he became a scout known as a reserve captain.

He also heard that not every assault fighter will be upgraded to a scout, even if it is a scout specially trained by the Qianlong Reserve Base, it will take two to three years for an assault to serve as a scout.

With such a speed of progress as Dewey, it can be said that the entire hidden dragon is a rare existence.

It didn't really matter, because the second mule knew that the reason why Dewey was able to improve so quickly had a lot to do with his excellent performance in Düsseldorf, and he believed that if he was put in that position, he would be able to do it.

But what he couldn't accept the most was that Chu Chu actually joined Qianlong for Dewey and became an intelligence analyst in the internal service.

When he saw Chu Chu at that time, he was very excited, but Chu Chu never set his eyes on him except for starting to say hello to him.

The second mule knew that he had lost, and he lost completely, not only professionally to Dewey, but also emotionally to him.

He was once regarded as the pride of the sky, but he really couldn't accept this result, so that he never hated someone as much as he hated Dewey.

The second mule looked at Dewey who was walking in front with a complicated expression, he had no defense against himself, and he could shoot him at any time as long as he wanted.

Not to mention a hidden dragon at such a close distance, even an ordinary person who has never used a gun can kill Dewey.

Of course, he won't shoot, because he knows that when he shoots, it means that he will also die, and he will die with infamy, and the father who is far away in China will never be able to raise his head because of him.

"Dewey, one day, I will surpass you." The second mule swore secretly in his heart.

He was thinking wildly when suddenly Dewey turned around and shot the dagger in his hand backwards.

The jet-black dagger was like a black light, shooting straight towards the two mules, so fast that he didn't have time to dodge.

"He's going to kill me!"

This was the first thought that came to the second mule's mind, and he immediately raised his gun, his finger pulling on the trigger.

Just as his fingers were about to be snapped, the dagger passed by his ear, and then something fell on his shoulder, and the chicken thief next to him quickly pressed the muzzle of the second mule's gun down.

Burst!

Snatch!

The sound of the assault rifle passing through the silencer rang out along with the sound of the dagger piercing into the trees, and the two mules stepped back, trying to snatch the gun back from the chicken thief's hand, only to see a black rope fall from the air onto his gun.

The second mule looked closely, only to find that it was actually a snake, the head had been cut off, and blood was dripping from the cut.

Only then did he realize that Dewey was not trying to kill him, but the viper that was about to attack him, and if the chicken thief had not intervened, he would have almost killed Dewey.

Dewey glanced coldly at the gun in the hands of the second mule, and did not say anything, but listened attentively to the sounds around him.

It wasn't until he was sure that the gunfire just now didn't attract the attention of the pirates that he lowered his voice and scolded, "This is the Hidden Dragon, if you can't give your back to your teammates, you don't need to stay here." ”

The voice was not loud, but it was extremely serious, and the second mule lowered his head in shame.

Dewey walked over and pulled the dagger from the tree, and returned to the front of the group to continue walking, while the two mules stood still, not knowing what to think.

Dewey stopped, turned back and said, "It's a battle now, if you want to be cranky, get back to me!" ”

The chicken thief hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled the two mules, and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”

The second mule hurriedly collected his mood, put aside the distractions in his heart, and kept up with Dewey's pace.

The three of them touched the outside of Duopu Village and lurked in the woods to observe the situation in the village.

The vigilrates were on low alert, and even though they were only a few steps away from the village, they didn't see any sentry posts, and the whole village was empty.

Somalia is very backward, and the village of Duopu is even poorer, almost all of the village is dilapidated thatched wooden houses, and all of them are darkly lit, except for the two houses in the middle, which are brick and stone structures, from which the lights I saw before came from.

Dewey stretched out his finger and whispered, "There, it should be where their leader lives." ”

"These pirates are too unvigilant, or we can touch them and take their lair directly." The chicken thief proposed, his eyes full of eagerness.

The second mule was also a little tempted, but because of his inappropriate behavior just now, he couldn't make suggestions.

Dewey shook his head and said, "Remember, our mission is to find hostages, and other things have nothing to do with us. ”

"Tactics should be flexible and changeable, and the so-called generals will not be subject to military orders abroad." The chicken thief said unrelentingly.

Dewey ignored him, turned to the second mule and asked, "You think so too?" ”

The second mule didn't expect Dewey to ask himself, so he paused for a moment before replying: "I think it's okay, we are now fully capable of beheading, and the battle will be decided." ”

Why not?

Obviously, you can solve the battle in a simple way, but you have to rigidly carry out orders, even the domestic special forces know how to adapt to the situation, and the hidden dragon should be even more so.

Dewey shook his head and said, "How can you be sure that after we carry out the beheading, the pirates will release the hostages?" ”

The two mules and the chicken thief couldn't help but stop talking at the same time.

yes, they have no way of knowing for sure.

Now they are not military exercises, having taken control of the enemy's command and have won the battle.

They are faced with a group of outlaw pirates, and the slightest mistake in carrying out a decapitation plan can cause the hostages to be killed or used to blackmail them.

It turned out that their ideas were so naïve, and the two couldn't help but bow their heads in shame.

"Remember, our mission this time is to rescue the hostages, and the hostages are our primary goal, and any move is wrong when there is no way to ensure the safety of the hostages. That's the first thing you'll learn from your beginner quest, prioritize! Dewey said.

Just like when the old cat took him to complete the novice task, Dewey also shouldered the responsibility of teaching the newcomers, taking this opportunity to teach them his own experience, and did not hide any personal reservations.

"I remember."

"Got it."

The two mules and the chicken thief replied at the same time.

Dewey nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, let's go and determine the location of the hostages." ”

The trio reached into the village of Duopu and cautiously shuttled between the low houses, looking for a place where the hostages were being held.
