Chapter 16 In the windless zone
Yagtu used several keys to open several large locks one after another, and then after pushing open a thick wooden door that seemed heavy and strong, he said to Mo Fei, "Next, you are responsible for moving the contents to the small boat hanging on the stern, can you understand?" ”
"Understood." Mo Fei nodded, this is the middle of the night to let him come out as a coolie, and ......
He seemed to have taken on a job that only a newcomer like him could do.
There were a few boxes in front of Mo Fei, and he had to be responsible for moving these things from one place to another, and the location of that "other place" was a bit delicate...... This is obviously the place where the ship keeps its valuables, so what is the reason why this pirate made him transfer his belongings to a small boat in the middle of the night?
Mo Fei walked out of the cabin carrying the suitcase, and he walked through the deck to the back of the aft tower of the sailboat. The whole ship seemed silent, except for the sound of his footsteps echoing everywhere, as if all the pirates on the ship were asleep, as if no one was keeping vigil at all.
Even Yagtu left on his own after arranging Mo Fei's "work", completely ignoring the possibility that Mo Fei would throw the pirates' "savings" directly into the sea in a frenzy.
If Mo Fei was an ordinary person, then of course he wouldn't dare to do it, because that would lead to two outcomes, either he jumped into the sea and drowned, or he was tortured to death by pirates.
If Mo Fei was not an ordinary person but the current Mo Fei, then he would not have done that.
Because these boxes contain his more than 300,000 Baileys, as for the money other than his principal, it doesn't need to be asked, it is naturally interest.
After coming to the stern, Mo Fei found that the boat had already been hoisted, and it looked like it could be launched at any time. The boat is actually not too small, it looks like it is about ten meters long, and there is even a low enclosed inner compartment behind one of the main masts.
All he had to do was send the treasure chest to the inner warehouse.
Mo Fei sighed that a group of pirates still had a sense of distress, he had never thought that there would be a situation where pirates would carry a "lifeboat" on their ship.
After several trips back and forth, Mo Fei didn't see a single pirate, and when he finally came to the side of the boat with a large suitcase, he found that there were already three people sitting on it—Captain Willy and the two hostages.
The suitcase in Mo Fei's hand is different from the treasure chest that he moved before, it should belong to these two hostages, so it is still necessary to carry it...... If there is no "token", how can people believe that they have hostages in their hands?
Mo Fei hadn't figured out why the pirate captain chose to leave the pirate ship with the hostages, but he was already vigilant in his heart - the other party was likely to choose to do something to him in the next moment.
Something that can be summed up as "killing people and killing people".
Mo Fei put the suitcase in the cabin of the boat, and then looked restrained, lowered his hands and rubbed his pants, and a flattering smile appeared on his face.
"You also get on the boat, and you will be responsible for rowing in a moment." Captain Willy said to him.
Oh, Mo Fei understood, at least he didn't have to die right now.
I should die after a while......
Under the premise that the pirate captain decided to abandon the ship and leave with only his henchmen and two hostages, Mo Fei really couldn't think of any reason for him to live.
After a few more moments, Jagtu also came to the boat, and he nodded at his captain.
In this way, there were five people on the small boat, including Mo Fei, and none of them spoke a word...... There is no need for two people who understand to speak, and three people who don't understand anything dare not speak.
The scene was strangely calm, and when Mo Fei felt that he couldn't hear the sound of the sea breeze in his ears, he saw Captain Willy lick his index finger, and then feel it on all sides with his saliva-stained fingers.
Then he said to Yagtu, "Alright, Yagtu. ”
Jagtu stood up, pulled the rope, and slowly lowered the boat through a gondola, letting it land firmly on the surface...... It can be seen that this old pirate is very powerful.
At this time, Mo Fei finally reacted, this pirate ship seemed to be sailing into the "windless zone", and what they were doing now was to get off the ship before things became irreparable.
For sail-powered ships, the "windless zone" is a completely isolated area, and ships that have completely lost power can only wait for death. What's more, the sea below the "windless belt" is home to large and super-large sea kings, and if you accidentally alarm them, the whole ship will be swallowed in one gulp.
Mo Fei didn't expect these two pirates to really dare to approach the windless zone, and it can only be said that they "carefully selected" a burial place for their companions on the ship.
Although the sea breeze has gradually subsided, the pirate ship is still sailing forward by inertia, and presumably it will not go too deep into the windless zone, but will only stop at the edge of the windless zone...... However, a windless zone is a windless zone, which may become more dangerous by going too deep, but never becomes safe just because it is just at the edge.
Mo Fei propped up his oars and cautiously began to row towards the south, to be honest, he didn't want to alarm the large sea kings, because that thing was beyond his ability to handle - with his current mastery of the "Piao Piao Fruit", he was not sure that he would be able to float that kind of large creature into the sky with seawater.
Of course, running away is a different story.
paddling and rowing, I don't know how long it has been, in short, Mo Fei once again felt the sea breeze.
Jagtu hoisted the sails, and the boat moved in a faster direction.
After waiting for a safe enough distance, I don't know if it was an illusion, Mo Fei seemed to faintly hear a somewhat special roar...... The voice came far away, and it was mixed with the sea breeze, so he couldn't hear it well.
Yagtu, who was standing next to the mast, glanced at where they were coming from, then turned to his captain and said, "The matter is settled. ”
There was a sense of "you can rest assured that I will do something" in the old pirate's tone.
This sentence made Mo Fei understand something in an instant, he seemed to think that the two pirates were a little too kind - they not only sent the pirate ship and the pirates on the ship into the windless zone, but even set up a delay device to detonate the gunpowder on the ship.
Whether or not the ship can be blown to pieces is another matter, but this kind of explosion will definitely cause a commotion among the Sea Kings.
In other words, the boatload of people is dead.
So Mo Fei is a little strange, why is he still alive now, shouldn't he die? There's no reason, it's so abnormal...... Frankly, this guy can't wait.
Then I heard the pirate captain speak, "Now let's solve another problem, that is, this small boat does not carry enough food and water...... It's quite a long way from the nearest landmass. ”
After the words fell, several people on the boat reacted to the meaning of this sentence slightly, and four pairs of eyes, including the two hostages, stared at Mo Fei's body together in the next moment.
"Hmmm......"
And this reaction made Mo Fei breathe a sigh of relief.
He said, the other party has no reason to let him live.
