Chapter 35: Midnight Horror
Zhao Min stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the fleet, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xu Ming and Zhang Han moved quickly, and it only took an hour to load all the containers on the ship. Fortunately, they are all small and medium-sized ships, and the location of the wreck is a cliff rather than a shallow terrain, so there is no need to worry about the problem of running aground and wading, otherwise it will take twice as much time just to transfer by boat.
Maybe he slept more in the afternoon, or maybe he found that the impact of this batch of weapons had not subsided, in short, Zhao Min felt no sleepiness now. Zhao Min thought about it, and walked along the board to the shore. Because he has been sailing offshore, there is no wind and waves, and he does not feel the so-called seasickness, but growing up inland, he still likes to keep his feet on the ground rather than the feeling of shaking at any time on the boat. He walked a few steps to the island, picked up a random reef and sat down, the winter night wind blew, and his body was cold, and the moisture of the reef below him made him shiver excitedly.
It's been two months since this paradoxical world descended, and despite all the things I've been through, looking back, there's always a sense of unreality. In particular, the so-called 'system' in his brain makes him feel like a dream. He has never, or dare not think seriously about the future, because this dream-like unreality makes him lack a sense of substitution, as if he is playing a holographic 3D game, so his behavior is always casual and lacks sincerity.
But it's all so real! Zhao Min felt the chill coming from under him, and raised his eyes to look into the distance. There was no moon tonight, and the sea was pitch black, and I could barely make out the difference between sea and sky, except for the lights of the salvage fleet in the distance, which stood out in the night. Ten paces away, his own boat gently undulated with the sea, and several 'dead wind' lamps hanging on the mast also swayed slightly, reflecting the figure of a gradually approaching clipper looming in the night.
Clippers? Zhao Min frowned, could it be that something new has appeared? Why don't you even hang a lamp! It's a black place, and if you hit a boat in the middle of the sea, it's not a joke!
Zhao Min stood up and planned to go back to the boat. Just about to take a step, he suddenly frowned. Wrong! The boats that came out of the water camp were all red horses and boats, and the highest was only two or three zhang above the sea, but this fast boat was at least four zhang high! And the water camp is all flat-bottomed boats that go close to the sea, and the speed is never so fast!
If you don't even turn on the lights, most of them have bad intentions! Thinking of this, Zhao Min pulled his legs and ran to the boat, who expected that the speed of the clipper was unexpectedly fast, and it did not slow down when it was close at hand, and saw that the clipper made a movement similar to drifting on the sea, and the hull of the ship turned sideways, and he heard a loud "bang", and the side of the ship collided with each other!
Immediately afterwards, I saw many hazy figures on the fast boat gang, and because they were taller than Zhao Minza's boat, they jumped over directly without saying a word!
The sudden change in front of him made Zhao Min stop unconsciously. What is it? Isn't it just like the pirate gang fight you watched in the movie? For a while, his mind was a little foggy, and he was stunned on the spot!
The black shadow who got on the ship was not in a daze like Zhao Min, I saw them in groups of two or three, agile and fast as thunder and lightning, some controlled the deck, some rushed into the cabin, and some occupied various favorable terrain. Zhao Min's ship was a walker, originally only seven or eight sailors, and the ship was at anchor, so it was either in the paddle room or at rest; Most of Zhao Min's personal guards were taken away by Xu Ming and others to transport goods, and a small number were helping to salvage the sunken ship, only two or three people were still on the ship, and at this time, they couldn't stand the sea turbulence and shrank in the cabin to rest, so the deck was completely controlled by the people who came in an instant.
"Ah~~!!" A terrible scream pierced the night sky, waking up Zhao Min, who was in a sluggish state. This is certainly a pirate! It's clear that you're here to make money and kill people! In a hurry, he couldn't take care of much, so he subconsciously turned around and ran to the shore. Unexpectedly, I walked too quickly, and I couldn't see the road clearly, so I tripped garlic under my feet and fell to the ground with a "bang"!
At this time, the movement on the ship became louder, the sound of shouting and killing sounded in the cabin, and the black shadows no longer concealed their whereabouts, and lit torches one after another. In the light of the fire, I saw the black shadows wearing shorts, black close-fitting water support, holding a bull ear knife in one hand, all fierce and vicious, sure enough, it was the pirate's dress! And the small noise made by Zhao Min's fall still attracted the attention of a pirate who was close to the board, and only heard a low shout: "There is another one on the shore!" "Kill him, don't get away with one!" Immediately, several of the pirates on the deck stepped on the board and killed Zhao Min!
Zhao Min looked back, frightened! Hurriedly got up and ran for his life, and several pirates behind him also chased after him. In the deep night, he couldn't tell the direction, Zhao Min just ran to the island, because the pirates were not familiar with the terrain, and Zhao Min was not tall, so he was chasing and paying attention to whether it would be confused with the bushes and reefs, and he couldn't catch up with him for a while.
Chasing and escaping all the way, perhaps subconsciously just picking up familiar roads, Zhao Min accidentally found that he had escaped to the hills of the cave where the ordnance was buried! Zhao Min looked back and saw that the pirate was still more than twenty steps away from him, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind: "Hide in the hole!" The cave is hidden, and you may not be able to find me! In a hurry, I didn't have to think about it, and when I passed by a stone pile, I squatted down and flashed to the back of the stone pile, and the cat trotted all the way with my waist. I only heard a commotion behind me, presumably suddenly discovering that the target who had lost track began to make a fuss. At this time, he didn't care about anything else, just stumbled forward, and when he saw the rocks covering the entrance of the cave, like a life-saving straw grasped by a person in the water, he rushed over and slammed into the hole.
Entering the cave, Zhao Min only felt that cramps began to cramp in his legs, as if there was a fire in his chest, and he could hardly breathe. Zhao Min stuck out his tongue, opened his mouth wide and panted desperately, constantly thanking himself for the exercise these days, if he was before the crossing, I am afraid that this escape road will not end before it ends!
Wheezing undecided, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the cave, Zhao Min didn't dare to go out to watch, so he had to hold his breath and stare and listen to the movement outside.
I heard a voice crying out, "Why is it gone?" Who saw where that guy had gone? ”
Another voice replied: "I just saw the figure flashing by this pile of rocks, that guy must be nearby, everyone look carefully, the big boss has ordered, leave no one alive!" ”
Zhao Min heard this sound very close to the entrance of the cave, and was startled, knowing that he must have been discovered when he entered the cave just now, and he didn't care about the cramp-like pain in his legs, so he quickly tiptoed into the depths of the cave. While hiding, he prayed: "Don't come in!" Don't come in! ”
Who knows what to be afraid of, just when Zhao Min went dozens of steps deeper, a surprise cry came from the entrance of the cave: "There is a hole here!" Come and see the big guys! ”
"Look at your mother! That guy must have gone to the hole! Blackhead, you stay here, and the others will follow me in and search! ”
Zhao Min secretly complained in his heart, this time he really caught a turtle in an urn! The most tragic thing is that I am the turtle! Thinking in his heart, he didn't dare to stop under his feet, so he fled all the way to the depths in the dark.
When escaping to the hall where the ordnance was stacked, Zhao Min did not pause and continued to move forward. There is only one passage in this cave, and staying in this cave is not looking for death? Xu Ming said that there is an exit on the other side that leads to the bottom of the sea, so he has no choice but to go to the sea to hide! Thinking of such a cold winter night, to dive into the cold water, Zhao Min couldn't help but feel excited, and the steps under his feet were faster.
Zhao Min hadn't been to the road through the hall, but since there was only one way, he didn't have to go wrong, so he just moved forward. Twists and turns, walked about a bag of cigarettes, entered a circular stone room about five zhang round, the stone room is empty except for a waterhole on the side wall, and the most important thing is that there is no way out in the four places! Zhao Min knew that this must be the passage in the sea in Xu Ming's mouth, and after looking around, except for the smooth rock wall, there was not even a big bulge, let alone hiding such a big living person.
Hearing the noise getting closer and closer behind him, Zhao Min felt sad in his heart! Gritting his teeth, he walked to the edge of the pool and slowly sank his body into the water. As soon as the servant enters the water, a chill rushes straight to his head from his feet! Fortunately, I learned to swim back then, otherwise I wouldn't even have the last way to survive. Zhao Min turned his head sadly and glanced at the entrance of the stone room, he had already seen a figure illuminated by the firelight, and finally took a deep breath, and his entire body was completely submerged in the water.
The four pirates entered the stone chamber with torches, and when they saw that the chamber was empty, they couldn't help but look at each other. One of the pirates spoke, "There is no other way out here, where can that guy hide?" Could it be ......" said and set his eyes on the only place in the room where people could hide - the waterhole!
Another pirate walked to the edge of the waterhole and looked at it, but didn't see any movement, and was a little disapproving: "It's a cold day, don't say whether you will go into the water, and even if you do, how long can you hide?" Would you like to go down and have a look? I'm not going to go into the water anyway! ”
Hearing this, the remaining few people were also a little hesitant. Even though he is a pirate, who would not take the initiative to dive into the water in such cold weather? The pirate who spoke in front of him hesitated, "You have a point. That's it, you are guarding here, fourth, let's go back along the road to see if there is a fork in the road, that guy can't last long even if he enters the water! ”
The pirate known as the fourth grinned: "Don't worry, I'll stay here, that guy won't be in the water, if he comes out, I'll go down with a knife, keep my head up, and my body won't come up!" ”
Zhao Min was less than a meter deep from the water, and by the light of the fire, he faintly saw a few people who seemed to be discussing, and then the three left, leaving one person to guard the edge of the pool. Zhao Min's heart was dark, although he couldn't hear their conversation, he could guess that he probably suspected that he was hiding in the water and was going to wait here. Zhao Min knew that the other party was engrossed in guarding the edge of the pool, and now he would inevitably die! Now the only way to survive is to escape through the underwater passage, through the depression of the shipwreck into the sea.
I don't know how long the road into the sea is, and I don't know how long I can hold this breath, but now I can't think about it, so I can only gamble! Zhao Min was ruthless, turned around and swam into the depths.
