Chapter 245: The Smell of Oil

I saw that this boat was floating on the sea like a small bunker, and Chen Liqing and their boats were not at all proportional compared to other people's boats, that is, thatched houses and large villas. But because of the dark night, Chen Liqing and the others couldn't even see anything marked on the ship, so they didn't know if the boat was close to friend or foe for the time being.

"It shouldn't be a pirate, young master, don't worry, pirates shouldn't have such a big ship, this should be a British or Dutch cargo ship." Wax was also a little unsure.

"Brother Strong." Chen Liqing couldn't help frowning, and then shouted.

"Here, what's the matter, young master?" Yin Li came over quickly.

"Inform everyone to take shelter in the cabin for the time being, let everyone pay attention to safety, and in addition, tell the ocean to be on guard." Chen Liqing looked back at these curious teenagers seriously.

"Okay, did you hear the young master's words, hurry up and go into the cabin to hide." Yin Li immediately said that he had received it, and then he began to guide these young international students who obviously had a curious look in their eyes to dodge. Of course, these young international students don't want to miss this opportunity, they have been listening to Chen Liqing tell the story of One Piece for the past few days, and they are looking forward to it, and now there is finally an accident, which can be regarded as stirring up a little wave in this boring journey, and they also want to see if it is a real pirate. However, Chen Liqing was a young master after all, and he had spoken, and these young people had to enter the cabin a little unwillingly.

In less than three minutes, only Chen Liqing and Xie Haiyang were left on the wide deck, and Xie Haiyang and his party who came to guard with guns after hearing the news, although the more modern times they came, the more useless pirates were, but after all, it was the first time to go to sea, and they still had the necessary armed work.

"Wait, young master, they really aren't pirates yet." Among these ships, Vax was an experienced sailor, and soon, he saw some kind of light flashing on the opposite ship, and he couldn't help but say, "Are they calling for help?" ”

"Help?" Chen Liqing was curious.

"Yes, they seem to be crying for help, did the young master see that flashing light? It seems to be an urgent distress signal for a businessman on the British side who is in trouble. Vax nodded, then casually pointed to the behemoth opposite.

"How is it, young master, do we need to go over?" Vax couldn't help but say.

Chen Liqing didn't speak for a while, his eyes were working a large number of ships in the dark, and the first scene that flashed in his mind was not a pirate, but a horror movie, the weirder ship in the horror cruise ship. However, this thought only flashed for a moment, and Chen Liqing then said: "Don't go over for the time being, maybe it's the pirate's strategy, the ocean, why don't you take a small boat over and have a look?" ”

The night is dark and the wind is high, on this sea, Chen Liqing doesn't want to have any accidents, he is an ordinary person now, if there is any accident, he can't afford the consequences.

"Yes." Xie Haiyang immediately obeyed the order, and soon a small lifeboat rowed towards the big boat.

"Vax, did you say there are pirates in this area recently?" Seeing Xie Haiyang and them disappear into the darkness, Chen Liqing couldn't help but turn his head.

"Well, young master, when I went to sea a few years ago, I heard that there were pirates in this sea, the most famous being the red-bearded pirates and the Ladinda pirates, but the British navy often haunts these areas, and generally sails twenty times, and will not encounter any pirates. This route, in general, is quite safe. Vax said.

Chen Liqing nodded, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Secretly said that he shouldn't have carried it like this, and he encountered some pirates when he went to sea for the first time.

Soon, Xie Haiyang and their ships also returned, and the results they brought back were also very gratifying to Chen Liqing and them.

This ship is not a pirate, but a real British freighter!

An hour later, Chen Liqing and his entourage arrived at the freighter.

This is actually a very large freighter, much larger than Chen Liqing's ship, Chen Liqing's ship can accommodate two or three hundred people, and this freighter is not a problem to accommodate one or two thousand people.

"Young master, this is Lawrence, an Englishman who asked for help, he is the captain of this ship, and they were robbed by pirates." When Chen Liqing looked at this advanced ship, Xie Haiyang, who was on the ship first, led an old man with a golden hair and curly beard over. This old man had a red nose and typical white skin, and he looked a little trembling all over, and when he saw Chen Liqing, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Thank God, this is Young Master Chen from the East, thank you, thank you so much for coming, you are really an angel sent by God." As soon as Captain Lawrence came over, when he saw Chen Liqing, he immediately grabbed Chen Liqing's hand excitedly, and spoke English that Chen Liqing was not very good at.

"It's okay, it's a gesture, it's a gesture." Chen Liqing couldn't stand why Lawrence was so excited.

Vax immediately explained: "Young Master, just five days ago, Lawrence and the others met the most ferocious red-bearded pirate of this generation, his cargo was looted, and then some of his sailors were also killed, although Lawrence was not killed, but because the pirate destroyed the gas furnace in his ship before leaving, he could not go home, nor could he send a distress signal, he could only wander on the sea. ”

"Pirates, are there really red-bearded pirates?" Chen Liqing couldn't help frowning.

"There are pirates, they are really fierce, they have killed all my sailors, they have damaged my ship, they almost want to kill me." When Lawrence heard Vax's explanation, he immediately shouted again in a magical excitement.

Because Chen Liqing didn't know much English, he occasionally heard a few words and understood the meaning of Lawrence, and after some comfort, Chen Liqing visited his cargo ship under the leadership of Lawrence.

This cargo ship is a 10,000-ton ship, and Lawrence is not the only one on board, but also some of Lawrence's men, and the rest, some sailors. However, they had been adrift at sea for almost a week, without enough fresh water, and the food had been destroyed by the pirates, and the rest of the people, except for Lawrence, did not look very good.

At the same time, after some understanding, Chen Liqing also knew that Lawrence was a tycoon who did business on this side of the Mediterranean, but this time he went to South Africa, and when he came back, he seemed to encounter something that was not going well, not only was the full load of goods robbed, but even his life was almost threatened.

During these five days of wandering, Lawrence and the others suffered a lot. At this time, they met Chen Liqing's fleet, which was a little out of the way, and they were lucky.

After Chen Liqing understood everything, he lamented that there were really pirates in this period, and at the same time, he also extended a helping hand and promised to help some Lawrence. Of course, they didn't need much other help, and the more than 200 people on board needed only some food and water, as well as some repairmen.

This kind of simple request, Chen Liqing and they can do it, of course, it is easy to help.

However, after helping, Chen Liqing and his party then visited Lawrence's giant ship and returned to their own small boat.

"I didn't expect that there were really pirates, but I didn't expect those pirates to be so cruel, not only robbing Lawrence's goods, but also damaging their ships, so that they couldn't go home, if they didn't meet us, wouldn't Lawrence and their more than 200 people continue to drift at sea like this?" When he returned to the ship, Yin Xiu, who was traveling with him, had some sighs, he knew it was false when he heard Chen Liqing's story, but who would have thought that the other party could really meet pirates? But this pirate is still much better than Yin Xiu imagined, at least Lawrence and they are all alive, aren't they?

"Yes, where there are people, of course, there are rivers and lakes, and the maritime trade is so developed, how can there be no robbers?" Chen Liqing also sighed: "However, the ocean, everyone should pay attention next, it is possible that those red-bearded pirates are still nearby, so everyone should pay a little attention." ”

"I know, young master." Xie Haiyang nodded, and then went down to arrange.

Chen Liqing looked up, and still saw many curious eyes, these were the eyes of the teenagers who brought.

"Sister Yin Xiu, go down and tell everyone to sleep, and say that there is nothing to do tonight, and there will be something tomorrow morning." Seeing these gazes, Chen Liqing waved his hand, and then called Wax, who followed all the way and only cared about smoking.

The two of them went all the way to Chen Liqing's room, and Chen Liqing asked, "This Lawrence doesn't seem to be very simple?" If there was something that was not said just now, it can be said now. ”

"Yes, young master, this Lawrence seems to be a little difficult." Vax looked at the giant ship temporarily parked on the sea through the window, nodded and said to Chen Liqing.

"It's really not simple, what is not simple about him?" Just when he was visiting his ship with Lawrence, Chen Liqing saw that Wax had a lot to say to him, and Wax must have discovered something, so Chen Liqing hurried back to his own territory after visiting Wax's giant ship.

Although the sudden appearance of the giant wheel made him sigh that his luck was not at all good, but outside, who knows what the human heart is like inside the belly?

"I guess this Lawrence should belong to a British oil company, and I smelled that bad smell on their ship, and I heard some sailors talking about them, saying that they were a freighter of an oil company." Wax Road.

"The British oil company?" Chen Liqing was stunned when he heard this, and then raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?" "Wax didn't say that Chen Liqing hadn't paid attention to it, just when the freighter went up, he smelled a special smell, he thought it was a strange smell at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it seems to have a smell of oil.

"Sure, I asked the sailors on point." Vax nodded with certainty.

"Oil company ......" Chen Liqing stood up suddenly, turned his head sideways, and his gaze decisively hit the huge freighter again. (To be continued.) )
