Chapter 786: The First Confrontation with the Pirates
A faint mist floated on the surface of the sea, and Townsend's face immediately showed an excited expression like that of Kavre, and he shouted: "Kavrey, start the motor and go full speed!" ā
"Yes!" Kavrey replied excitedly.
Townsend rushed out and shouted to Hans, who were already frightened, "Brothers! It's foggy, and it's a good chance for us to get rid of pirates. Cheer me up and get ready to fight! ā
"Yes!" The sailors answered.
The ship moved forward again. Don't look at these sailors who were frightened just now, but they also have adventure blood in their bones, otherwise they would not have begged for a living in this sea, especially when facing the hope of escape now, they are full of fighting spirit.
Soon the speed of the salvage ship was mentioned as the fastest, although there was no way to get rid of the pirate ship behind, but it could delay some time, so that the pirate ship would not be so easy to get close to everyone.
"Tom, tom!" With two loud bangs, two shells landed on the left and right sides of the salvage ship, splashing a waterfall several feet high.
The sissy voice of her own pirate ship came from the cockpit again. "Bastard! I don't think you guys want to live anymore. Hurry up and stop my boat, or I'll sink your boat and send you out to sea to feed the fish!" ā
Faced with the threat of the enemy, the slightly younger Kavrey was a little frightened, turned to Townsend and asked, "What should I do?" ā
"Ignore him and keep going full speed!" Townsend ordered.
The pirate ship fired a few more cannon shots, but they were all to scare people, and did not really sink the salvage ship. It seems that they also have some taboos in their hearts, fearing that if they really sink the salvage ship, they will lose the benefits they deserve.
The cannonballs rang in their ears from time to time, which made people feel a little anxious, especially when they saw the pirate ship gradually approaching, some people couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and accidentally pulled the board machine.
"Bang bang." A string of bullets flew towards the pirate ship.
The distance between the two sides was not yet to the point of using firearms, so the bullet did not hurt the pirate ship in the slightest, but it did provoke the pirate ship to return to Zhou.
"Da-da-da-da." The sound of heavy machine guns sounded from the pirate ship that was following closely behind, and a splash of water appeared on the sea, followed by several bullets hitting the ship's bon, but fortunately there were no casualties.
"Hit!" Hans roared.
The chaotic gunshots rang out, revealing a sense of impetuousness. The two sides fought like this, but in Wang Hai's opinion, this was just a waste of ammunition, and the probability of both sides hitting the target was very slim.
The fog was thicker than before, but the distance between the two sides was getting shorter.
"Ahh A scream came to his ears, and a sailor was hit in the chest by a stray bullet and fell to the deck, but the people around him only cared about attacking the opposite side, and no one cared about him at all.
Wang Hai felt that he had to do something, otherwise before he could get rid of the pirate ship behind him, everyone on this ship would be killed, and that would not be good for him. Thinking of this, Wang Hai found a suitable position on the salvage ship and lurked, and through the scope, Wang Hai saw the pirates on the Black Pearl.
These guys were dressed like pirates in the 17th century, but they were piloting advanced warships, which made them look a little funny.
The gunners, machine gunners, and others flashed under Wang Hai's scanning, these were not Wang Hai's targets, and even if they shot one or two of them, they would not have any obvious effect.
Jolly Roger. Wang Hai's target was locked on the skull flag, and in order to hit the target more accurately, he removed the silencer and secretly adjusted his breathing.
The salvage ship was moving fast, the pirate ship was also moving, and the influence of the waves and the fog caused a negative side to Wang Hai's shooting.
Slowly, Wang Hai's breathing and the ship's ups and downs remained in unison. There is a very short freeze frame when the boat floats to the top and falls, this time is the most stable time for the boat, and it is also the most ideal time for sniping, and as a sniper master, Wang Hai accurately seized this opportunity.
"Smack." The sniper bullet flew out, and the fluttering pirate flag behind it slid down.
The pirate flag is a symbol of the sovereignty of the pirate ship, and when the pirate flag slides down and falls to the surface, the pirates panic and shout and forget to engage the sailors on the salvage ship, slowing down their speed.
The salvage ship was still moving at full speed, and soon disappeared into the fog, and the Black Pearl behind it was out of sight.
The sailors on the salvage ship stopped shooting, but everyone's spirits were still tense, maintaining the posture of the previous battle, so that they could fight the pirates again in the shortest possible time.
In the cockpit, Townsend and Kavrey didn't know what was going on, but they were very happy to see the pirate ship getting farther and farther away from everyone on the radar.
"Great, we're finally going to get rid of them!" Kavrey exclaimed excitedly.
Townsend said with an old-fashioned face: "Kavre, don't be careless until you really get rid of the enemy, and continue to move forward at full speed." ā
"Yes." Kavrey replied, steering the rudder to keep the salvage ship on course.
"Tom, tom." Suddenly, a dense cannon fire rang out. Presumably, the pirates realized that they would lose their salvage ships, so they launched an attack without hesitation, but the accuracy was very severe in the fog. Still, one shell landed on the salvage ship.
The hull shook violently, sirens sounded, and plummeted smoke.
"Kavre, keep going!" Townsend rushed out with a shout, shouting, "What's wrong?" ā
"Big brother, we've been hit." Hans exclaimed.
Wang Hai was not far from the place where he was hit, he ran over to take a look, and found that the inside of the cabin was bubbling like a fountain, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Come here quickly, the ship is leaking!" ā
Townsend and Hans ran over to take a look, and their faces immediately turned pale.
Wang Hai didn't know much about navigation, but he also knew that it was very troublesome for the ship to leak, especially in this vast sea, it was very dangerous, and he had to stop and repair it immediately, but the pirate ship behind forced them to stop. "Townsend, hurry up and think of a way!" Wang Hai shouted.
Townsend spun around in his head and shouted to Hans, "Call everyone over at once and drain the water outside, and I'll see if there's anything we can do to the shore!" ā
"Yes!" Hans replied, turned around and shouted, "Everyone who is still panting is *** come over to me, hurry up!" ā
Wang Hai followed Townsend back to the cockpit, and Kavrey was also very worried after the boat leaked from the two of them, and asked, "What should I do then?" We have to fix the boat! ā
Townsend took out the map and searched for it with a heavy expression, and at the same time searched for the current location according to the compass, and finally stretched out his hand and pointed to the map and instructed Kavre: "Go this way, there is a desert island there, maybe we can stop there and repair the ship." ā
Kavrey glanced at the map and said, "It's too close to here, and it's easy for pirates to find it when you stop there." ā
Wang Hai interjected and said: "I don't care so much, we will be more dangerous if we go to other places!" ā
Kavrey looked at Townsend, and when Townsend nodded, he changed course and headed for the desert island.
The task of driving the boat was handed over to Townsend and Kavre, and Wang Hai joined in the drainage, and the sound of the cannonballs stopped after a while. It seems that the pirates have given up on attacking everyone for the time being, but they will definitely be following behind, especially after the fog clears.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, we finally got through the difficulty, but there was a chaotic sound of "click", and the bottom of the boat seemed to hit something, and then stopped.
"We're on the shore!" Kavrey shouted as he burst out of the cockpit.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, everyone was saved, but the crisis had not yet passed, and the ship had to be suspended as soon as possible.
Townsend also came out of the wheelhouse, and shouted, "Hans, take someone to the warehouse to get tools, we had better get the ship out of here before the pirates find out about us!" ā
"Yes!" Hans left with a few men, while others continued to drain the water.
Wang Hai was a complete layman in repairing the ship, so he shouldered the duty of vigilance, and after turning around the ship, he found that Kavre was standing against the ship's pole and walked over.
There was a man lying on the deck, the sailor who had been hit in the chest by a stray bullet, and who had died because he had not been treated in time.
Wang Hai saw Kavre's sad face, so he asked, "Are you okay?" ā
"No, it's fine." Kavrey's tone couldn't hide his sadness, and he sighed lightly and said to Wang Hai, "I'm just wondering if we didn't get rid of those pirates, wouldn't they all die like him." ā
Wang Hai is already very accustomed to life and death, and the death of a stranger does not cause much emotion, but after all, people are dead, and it is not appropriate to stay here. "Let's go ashore and bury him." Wang Haiti yƬ.
Kavrey nodded his head, he couldn't help with the injury to his right hand, and burying the dead was also a sign of respect for the dead.
Wang Hai greeted Townsend, then took a shovel and walked off the salvage boat with the body on his shoulder.
No one knows how big this deserted island is, but it's now completely hidden in the mist, with a sense of mystery.
Wang Hai found a suitable place on the shore to dig a pit and bury the body, and originally wanted to go back like this, but Kavre suddenly mentioned that he wanted to go around the island. "Anyway, they don't know when the ship will be repaired, so we might as well go around the four corners to pass the time." Kavrey said with a smile on his face. Wang Hai saw that Kavri was just making excuses, and actually had something to say to himself, so he nodded his head and walked with him to the depths of the desert island.
