Chapter 36: Terror in the Sea

Needless to say, the water was cold, and the cave was pitch black, and it was impossible to see. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, the cave is not big, and only one person is allowed to pass through, Zhao Min groped the cave walls on both sides all the way, and only cared about diving down. The further down Zhao Min became, the more frightened he became, because now how deep he dived, how long he had to float up when he entered the sea. But now there is no turning back, so I have to give it a go!

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Min only felt that there was a serious lack of oxygen in his chest, his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and his vision had begun to blur. At this moment, the surrounding cramped pattern suddenly changed, and the surroundings suddenly became clear. Zhao Min was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that this was out of the cave and entering the sea, so he didn't care about being dizzy at the moment, so he just floated up with the current.

Fortunately, due to the buoyancy of the seawater, the speed is much faster than when diving, and the water surface is bright, like a light in the darkness pointing the way. Zhao Min desperately squeezed his physical strength and swam to the light. In a daze, it seemed as if he had touched something in his hand. At this time, what does it matter, Zhao Min made a lot of effort in his hand, and jumped up with his strength! With a "poof", he finally rushed out of the sea! Escape! Zhao Min didn't care about the excitement, opened his mouth wide and breathed desperately, letting the long-lost air moisten his lungs, which were almost burning!

It was easy to take a few breaths, and his vision gradually became clearer, but the scene in front of him made him almost unbelievable!

I saw a huge fireball burning on the sea in front of me, and if I looked closely, I could barely tell from the outline and the wreckage in the sea of fire that the burning fireball was my own ship! Since the whole ship was burned, wouldn't the people on board ...... Thinking of this, Zhao Min's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the place where he had just grasped it in shock. Sure enough, he was holding a man's corpse in his hand! It was with the help of this corpse that I surfaced on the sea just now! This is the first time that a corpse has been touched so closely! But Zhao Min couldn't care about nausea at this time, because although the back of the corpse couldn't be seen clearly, it could be seen from the man's clothes that it must be a seafarer on Zhao Min's ship. On the back of the corpse, a wound that was pulled diagonally from the shoulder to the waist rolled over, revealing Sensen's white bones, which looked shocking. Zhao Min's heart was full of sorrow and resentment at the moment, although he may not have even spoken to this person, but a fresh life that was in front of him not long ago turned into a corpse in the sea that no one cared about in an instant!

Suddenly, a human voice overhead pulled him back to reality and brought him to his senses. Now is not the time to be sad, I am not out of danger yet, and the top priority is to get out of this dangerous place as soon as possible! Zhao Min looked around and found that he was directly below the pirate ship, and between himself and the shore was a burning boat, and he could only bypass the boat if he wanted to reach the shore. The problem is that there are pirates overhead, and under such bright firelight, it is difficult to swim past without being detected. If it doesn't work this way, what about the other side? At this time, the other side of the pirate ship was blocked by the hull, although the situation could not be seen, but the sound of shouting and killing was completely conceivable, it must be the ship that was being salvaged and found that the situation was not right and rushed to help, and now it is fighting with the pirates. If you go around to the other side and get caught between the battlefields, won't you kill yourself?

Just as he was wandering, a landing boat suddenly came from the direction of the island, and it was looking in the right direction towards Zhao Min! Zhao Min's eyes shrank in shock, except for the seawater on the left and right, there was no place to hide. Seeing that the boat was getting closer and closer, he had to take a sharp breath and sink back into the sea.

Watching the boat row overhead and dock with the mother ship, and then the entire boat gradually leaving the water, presumably the pirate ship began to recycle the landing boat. Zhao Min suddenly had an idea, and it was difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the pirates; But once the pirates are gone, without the light of the fire, won't it be easy to escape at that time? And to avoid the eyes and ears of the pirates a necessary cover, this landing boat is usually hung on the side of the ship, is not it just a perfect cover? Thinking of this, Zhao Min hurriedly floated up, put his body on the bottom of the landing boat, and followed the actions of the boat. With a "click", the landing boat was hoisted, and Zhao Min was completely shrouded in the shadow of the boat.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion from above: "Pimple is back, let's go!" Zhao Min was overjoyed when he heard this, these plague gods are finally gone! At this time, looking at the ship that was still burning not far away, thinking of the shipwrecked seafarers, I couldn't help but grit my teeth again! Just now running for their lives, and then racing against death in the water, I haven't had time to think about the question: why did the pirates find here?

As far as Zhao Min knows, Jiaozhou Bay is located in the Yellow Sea, and since the Yellow Sea is not a commercial route, there are almost no traces of pirates; The closest pirates to here, one is active in the Zhoushan Islands, which belongs to Yangzhou, one is near the Korean Strait, and the other is within the Qingzhou range, but it is begging for a living in Bohai Bay on the other side of the Shandong Peninsula. Besides, the prey that pirates usually look at is usually merchant ships, and how can a small ship like himself be able to hold cargo and have no oil and water, so how can he get into the eyes of pirates? What's more, Jiaozhou Bay is an inland sea, which is actually not suitable for pirates' pointed bottom ships to sail, so why did these pirates venture into territory that is not suitable for them?

Just as he was thinking about it, a strong force suddenly came from under him, and Zhao Min only felt a sharp pain from his left arm, and then the whole person flew out of the water and rose into the air! Before Zhao Min could figure out what was happening, he crashed into the pirate ship, making a "bang" sound. At this moment, a soft "Huh?" came from the deck. What seems to be the noise? "Then you have to look at it. Although Zhao Min's left arm was in severe pain, he also knew that this was the time of life and death, so he mustered up his spare strength, grabbed the hanging net on the side of the boat with his right hand, and then swung the whole person over, hung his body on the net, and hid his body under the landing boat. The pirates on deck didn't notice anything and retracted their heads. At this time, Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did he have time to watch what was happening.

I saw that where Zhao Min hit the boat just now, there was a big anchor! Zhao Min couldn't help but sigh: Why am I so unlucky! Now I understood that when the pirate ship was anchoring, he chose a location that was too precise, and the anchor that was dehydrated hung on the crook of his left arm, and then brought to the ship. Fortunately, luck was not too bad, the anchor position was only an arm's length away from the landing boat, otherwise if it was discovered by pirates, it would be the result of random arrows piercing the heart. At this time, a sharp pain from his left arm reminded Zhao Min that he was not out of danger yet! Zhao Min had to pray in his heart, hoping that there would be no fractures!

Zhao Min, who breathed a sigh of relief, was about to sneak into the water quietly, when suddenly his body shook, and the hanging net in his body began to shake. Zhao Min raised his eyes and saw that this surprise was not trivial: it turned out that the pirates began to recycle the hanging nets - also, the role of the hanging nets was to facilitate the pirates to jump or climb during the battle, and now that the battle is over, it is natural to take it back - but he can only stabilize his body by relying on the hanging net, once there is no hanging net, how can the smooth boat gang gain a foothold?

This scared Zhao Min's soul away! What to do? It's definitely not okay to jump into the sea in front of everyone, but now it's because it's close to the bottom of the landing boat, and because of the angle, the pirates on the boat gang can't see it, and once you jump into the sea, you can know with your ass that you're definitely greeted with arrows and knives or axes? Anyway, it's definitely self-defeating. Zhao Min's heart was beating wildly, his palms were full of sweat, and his eyes were glancing around. Unexpectedly, at a glance, I found that not far from my feet, there was an open porthole!

At this time, the hanging net had already received half of the hull, and Zhao Min didn't have time to think about what to do if there were people in the cabin, so he passed the pass in front of him first! made a decision immediately, shrunk his body into a ball, endured the severe pain in his left arm, and supported his right hand hard, and the whole person got in through the open porthole, but fortunately, Zhao Min was thin and small, so he could get in through this window with a radius of less than four feet!

Inside, it was pitch black. Zhao Min put his body against the porthole, quietly waiting for the completion of the recovery of the hanging net, and then he could jump out of the window to escape, who expected that at this time, there was a sudden "squeak", and the door of the opposite cabin was opened from the outside! Zhao Min frowned in shock, and by the light coming from outside the door, he saw that there were several wooden barrels around him, and the wooden barrels seemed to have a place to stay, so he quickly squatted down and drilled into the barrels under the cover of shadows.

At this time, footsteps came, someone entered the cabin, and Zhao Min heard the man muttering: "Which pickled goods opened the window?" If you let the seawater pour in and wet the grain, wouldn't you let Lao Tzu carry the black pot for him? Then came the sound of the window closing. Zhao Min cautiously looked out through the gap in the barrel, this seemed to be a warehouse for storing food, from Zhao Min's angle, the person who entered the door turned his back to him, and was muttering something while loading the goods onto a flatbed truck.

Seeing that the man couldn't finish moving for a while, fortunately, he was not in danger of being discovered, so Zhao Min had no choice but to continue to shrink behind the barrel, and also took the opportunity to recover his strength. Tonight, the shock of discovering the ordnance, then the desperate escape, then the gambling in the sea, and a series of thrills under the pirate ship, a series of movements beyond their ability to bear, have already exhausted themselves. Previously, because of the danger of dying at any time, I didn't feel that my spirit was highly nervous, but now I relaxed, and I only felt that my eyelids weighed more than a thousand pounds.

"I'll just take a break, just a little bit!" A deep tiredness struck, Zhao Min couldn't hold it anymore, made an excuse for himself, and finally curled up behind the barrel and fell asleep deeply.
