Chapter 54: The Sea Dragon (6)
The two Japanese who rowed stopped paddling, and the two Japanese who fired the guns stopped shooting, and all four of them lay on their butts on the bottom of the boat, frantically scooping out the water with their palms - but it was useless, the speed of the eight palms scooping the water outward was far less than the speed of the water, but they couldn't find anything to plug the hole, so they could only desperately scoop out the water to ease the sinking speed.
The sea is vast, and the north wind is cold. It was the middle of October, and a gust of sea breeze blew, and I suddenly felt cold all over my body.
Geng Chaozhong and Cao Guangyuan, dressed in long robes, sat on the bow of the boat for a long time, watching several Japanese who were struggling to save themselves. The young sailor, leaning on his oars, pointed to a few Japanese:
"A few biaozi! Don't jump into the water quickly, or it will leak faster and faster! β
If an unmanned abandoned boat leaks, it can still float on the lake. But with people is different, human tension and irregular shaking will make the boat keep draught, even after it reaches the equilibrium point, beyond a limit, it sinks!
At this time, the best way is to launch the water first, or directly dismantle the boat into several pieces, and each person may have a chance to survive while holding a boat board, otherwise it will be a dead end!
But now it's a question of who gets into the water!
A leading Japanese pointed at one of the Japanese and said something, as if he was ordering him to go into the water, but the Japanese resolutely refused to obey - no one is a fool, and going into the water at this time will inevitably become the object of abandonment of his companions! What's more, there is Geng Chaozhong next to them, and they are eyeing each other!
Bang!
The gun went off, and the Japanese who did not carry out the order was knocked to the ground and thrown into the sea.
Cannibalism!
Is this a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation?!
Geng Chaozhong shook his head silently.
After leaving behind a companion, the remaining few people seem to have relieved a lot of pressure, but it seems that if they can't find a way to plug the loophole, it will be a matter of time before they are drowned again!
Cao Guangyuan shook his head and said:
"The Sea Dragon is still around, let's row over! The Japanese have already gone to sea, and Nelson should not go back. β
Sure enough, a few minutes later, black smoke billowed in the distance, and the Sea Dragon, which had been sailing towards the shore, turned back again, and several Japanese saw the hope of survival and kept waving to the Sea Dragon. But they soon despaired, and the Sea Dragon deliberately made a circle, avoiding a few of them, and instead sailed towards Geng Chaozhong and them.
"Haha, self-inflicted, don't live!" Cao Guangyuan laughed, these Japanese must have killed people on the Sea Dragon just now, it's no wonder that Nelson will save them!
Geng Chaozhong commanded the sailors on the side: "Row the boat back to the Sea Dragon!" β
There was no need to be reminded that the sailors had already rowed hard towards the Sea Dragon, and the three Japanese jumped into the sea one after another, and actually swam towards Geng Chaozhong's ship!
They're crazy!
Geng Chaozhong sneered and ignored it, but at this moment, the stern of the ship suddenly sank downward, and then there was a snapping bolt!
Geng Chaozhong turned back sharply!
"Someone's down there!" The water pointed to the stern of the ship - the Japanese who fell into the sea just now did not die! He was climbing the edge of the boat with one hand and a pistol in the other hand and shooting at Geng Chaozhong!
But for some reason, the first bullet did not fire!
Geng Chaozhong let out a cold sweat, and raised his hand to shoot, but he also missed!
The boat shook so much!
The man shrank his head and sank to the bottom of the sea again, apparently the first sneak attack was ineffective, and he wanted to find another opportunity.
"Water ghosts!"
Geng Chaozhong looked at the rough sea and roared.
These Japanese are too cunning! actually pretended to kill each other to paralyze the opponent, and the guy who went into the water was also very water-oriented, and he was able to dive more than 100 meters unconsciously and swim silently under his own boat!
If it weren't for the fact that the firearm was damp and didn't fire, it would have been finished for me just now!
Geng Chaozhong's face was blue, Cao Guangyuan also looked underwater with a pistol, and the sailor was even more cowering and hiding in the middle of the cabin, not daring to show his head.
"Xiao Geng, look at those Japanese, I'll be in charge of the underwater!" Cao Guangyuan scolded loudly, he had already seen that the remaining three Japanese were also swimming towards this side, the speed was very fast, and the distance was less than 50 meters!
Bang!
Geng Chaozhong fired a shot at the three men.
However, the shaking ship seriously affected the accuracy of the shot, and the three Japanese only lowered their heads slightly, and still swam towards this side without hesitation!
At the same time, the Sea Dragon is only more than 50 meters away from them!
Geng Chaozhong's face was blue, he suddenly threw the gun, gritted his teeth, and unbuttoned his robe a few times, revealing the short fight he was wearing inside.
"You're going to the sea?" Cao Guangyuan asked in surprise, "No, Nelson, they'll be there soon!" β
"It's too late! Even if Nelson and the others come, we may not be able to get on the boat safely! Geng Chaozhong bent down and was about to jump down.
"No way!"
Cao Guangyuan grabbed Geng Chaozhong, "Obviously, they are from the Japanese Navy!" You can't beat one, let alone three! β
Geng Chaozhong shook off Cao Guangyuan's hand and shouted, "Who said I was alone?!" β
Then he lifted his foot and kicked the sailor who was shivering in the middle of the cabin!
"Now, it's two-on-one!"
The sailor was kicked off the boat by Geng Chaozhong, but his head appeared in less than 5 seconds - he was just afraid of death, but the water was very good.
"Young man! Don't look at it, either you'll kill that devil or you'll die yourself! β
Geng Chaozhong pointed a gun at him and shouted.
This sailor was not yet twenty years old, with big eyes and a big mouth, dark skin, and at first glance he was a typical shipman, and when he heard Geng Chaozhong's words as soon as he surfaced, his eyes rolled with anger, and he couldn't help but shout loudly:
"I'm your grandmother!"
But then, he went headlong to the bottom of the sea - at this time, it was between life and death, and he had to go up if he didn't go up!
Geng Chaozhong saw the young man jump into the sea, and turned his head to look at the Japanese people, who had already divided into three directions and fanned towards the boat. At the same time, the Sea Dragon was also approaching the boat, and Nelson and his lieutenant Howard were standing high on the bow of the ship and shouting:
"Don't worry, we'll be right here!"
Don't worry!
Geng Chaozhong sighed, put down the pistol, took the saber in his mouth, and also jumped into the sea.
In the middle of the sea, the sailor in the short shirt was already entangled with the Japanese, the Japanese had a knife in his hand, but his wrist was tightly held by the sailor, and his other hand tried to choke the sailor's throat, but the young man lowered his head, but instead went around the back of the Japanese from behind, and strangled him by the neck.
Seeing Geng Chaozhong swimming over, the Japanese face showed a desperate look, but the fisherman showed a happy smile, Geng Chaozhong swam over without hesitation, the saber pierced into the heart of the Japanese, and a stream of blood mixed with indigo water floated up. Geng Chaozhong and the young sailor let out a sigh of relief, and then surfaced.
"Young man, what are you doing?" Geng Chaozhong's head floated on the surface of the water and asked the young sailor.
"Fishing for sea cucumbers!"
The young man's eyes showed excitement, and he didn't have the slightest fearβin fact, the man who begged for a living at sea had long put life and death out of the way! He hid just now because he wasn't stupid, and he didn't want to die in vain!
"And three? Let's kill them?! β
"Good!"
The two of them took a deep breath and plunged into the water again.
