Chapter 109: Change
Originally, we wanted to find a place to stay, but later found that it was not as safe as in our own plane, so we spent a day repairing at the airport.
That afternoon, the undead bird and I rented five speedboats from fishermen at the pier in civilian clothes, and in order to hide our eyes, we rented them from different people, most of whom were related to pirates.
Although the Puntland Guard suffered heavy losses, the hundred-legged worm died but did not stiffen, and their supporters were innumerable, and it was not easy to deal with us if they really wanted to fight to the end, after all, they were in the chassis of others, so we could hide now and try not to clash with them head-on.
I parked the five speedboats in a secluded location by the sea, and in order to prevent accidents, I and the immortal birds were on the beach.
According to the intelligence, Han Qijiang's merchant ships will enter the Red Sea through the Gulf of Aden at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and we still have one night's rest.
But for me, it was the hardest night in eight years, and even when I was punished in a 60-degree oven all night, it didn't feel longer than tonight.
As the time approached, I became nervous, I imagined the scene of meeting Han Qijiang, what should I say, to accuse him of being ruthless, to scold him for being wolf-hearted, or to directly beat him up to vent the anger in my heart.
It seems that everything is too appropriate, if he resists, it will be the best outcome, I can kill him without scruples to avenge my parents, but what should I do if he kneels on the ground and begs for mercy, can he really kill this blood relative?
The answer is yes, I came to Somalia with all my heart to carry out this plan, I will kill him, the man who destroyed my family must die, I told myself over and over again, but for some reason, every cell in my body involuntarily sends out nervous signals.
What am I afraid of, what else in this world is worth being afraid of, I keep asking myself to find out.
Later, I understood, I was afraid of myself, it was very simple to defeat others, but it was even more difficult to overcome my own heart, I was afraid that I would be soft-hearted when I faced him, and I was afraid that I would be cowardly in the face of blood.
The instructors spent eight years training us to become emotionless killing machines, but the reason why people are called people is because they have thoughts and feelings, and people can be trained to be cold-blooded killers, but cold-bloodedness is only an evaluation of killers, and the blood flowing in the body is hot after all.
I don't believe that there are absolutely ruthless people in this world, and even if there are, they have been hit and full of hatred for the world, so they go to extremes, but ...... Hate is also an emotion.
The immortal bird seemed to see my strangeness, but he didn't say anything, didn't ask, just leaned aside and closed his eyes, as if to tell me with his actions that only he could solve some problems, and others could not help.
At five o'clock the next morning, as the time approached, the brothers arrived at our location in four pickup trucks, Black Hawk did not come, but he was ready at the airport for support at any time.
This time it was a battle at sea, unlike before, the time was again in the daytime, there was no cover of jungles and mountains, and there was no cover of night, and the battle here was based on real skills, and all intrigues and tricks looked pale and powerless on the wide sea level.
After debugging the radio communication system and checking the equipment we carried, our group got on board and sailed into the Gulf of Aden just after dawn.
We controlled the speed and slowly advanced on the sea, Rakshasa held the computer, established our sailing route, and seventeen people and five boats quietly entered the Gulf of Aden.
The Gulf of Aden is strategically important as it is connected to the Red Sea through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and is a gateway between the Mediterranean and Indian Oceans, as well as an important route for oil from the Persian Gulf to Europe and North America.
Pirates are interested in this, so they are entrenched in these waters all year round, and they are active between the ports of Aden and Djibouti.
The sun rises in the east, the morning sun sets on the sea, sparkling waves, and five speedboats float on the sea, rising and falling with the waves.
I sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the place where the water and the sky met in the distance, speechless for a long time, still thinking about that damn question in my heart, the sea breeze was blowing on my face, I couldn't help but sigh, forget it, I have to face it, and I will talk about it when the time comes.
"Captain, a suspicious ship has been found, suspected to be a Sailing!" Rakshasa suddenly looked up at me and said.
"Where is it?" I got up and walked over to the Rakshasa and looked at the computer screen.
"Fifty nautical miles to the southeast." Rakshasa raised his hand to the location, and a small red dot was slowly approaching in the scanning range on the screen.
"Everyone is ready, the goal is there, full speed ahead." I turned on the microphone and gave orders, although I was a little apprehensive, but as a commander, I would never allow any emotions to disturb my judgment during the battle.
The engine started, the five speedboats suddenly accelerated, like arrows flying over the sea level, the wind howled, I stood straight ahead, and my sharp eyes looked at the looming black dot in the distance.
Eight years of grudges, the moment the conspiracy emerged, it was destined for revenge, he must not have imagined that I, the survivor of the year, would appear in front of him eight years later, my uncle, your nephew with a beast's heart, came to take revenge.
Soon the shadow of the huge merchant ship appeared in the distance, gradually becoming clear, the brothers except me, their faces were painted with oil paint, this operation was to pretend to be a pirate hijacking, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we disguised ourselves as pirates, and then put all the blame on the pirates, we could withdraw and leave no trace.
In order to pretend to be a little more like, the demon actually made a pirate flag and planted it in the bow of the ship, and the devil even wore a blindfold, looking at their costumes, I couldn't help but wonder if I had watched too many movies.
"Captain, there's a situation!" Just as we were about to get closer, Rakshasa suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" I frowned slightly, and asked without replying.
"There are a large number of ships nearby, and it is suspected that ......" Speaking of this, Rakshasa looked up at me, paused, and said, "Real pirates." ”
"Huh?" My brow furrowed even deeper, could someone have come to steal business?
After thinking about it for a moment, I turned on the microphone and said, "Everyone, pay attention, the situation has changed, slow down, don't approach for a while." ”
"Captain, what's the situation?" The Titan asked on the other ship.
"It's not clear yet, but it could be a real pirate coming." With a gloomy face, I steered the speedboat slowly towards the Sailing.
I could see that my tone was not good, and no one was asking questions, just slowing down the boat and following me.
"Captain, what are we going to do if the pirates do attack the Voyage?" The immortal bird was by my side, and after hesitating for a long time, I finally asked the most critical question.
Yes, we're here to rob, and now that someone is the first to do it, what are we going to do? I'm also thinking about it, if I sit idly by, the Sailing will definitely fall into the hands of pirates, and if I go to the rescue...... That's ridiculous.
