Chapter 51: The Lost Five Minutes
Heading at full speed, the Damnation turned a corner, turned into the channel and vanished.
Then the pirates who caught up followed without hesitation, this was simply a golden opportunity, and there was a dead end in front of the "Damnation".
The Strait of Uncertainty was not very wide and could only accommodate two ships at the same time, so the pirates advanced into the strait in pairs and twos.
The sight of the interior of the strait is quite surprising, there is not a single fold in the cliffs, and it is as smooth as a knife. Even the vines struggle to take root, with the exception of a small number of moss spots that grow on the rock walls near sea level.
The water in the strait is unusually calm, there is not a trace of waves, and there is no wind. The sound of the splash of water as the boat moves forward is the only main theme.
"What about the 'Damnation', why is it gone?"
"Don't worry, this time they planted their wings, I have been to this place eight hundred times, and the first few miles are dead ends, not to mention people, even if the birds fly in and don't return the same way, don't want to go out from here."
"Everyone, be careful, I feel a little weird, it would be bad if I was ambushed."
"How to ambush the ambush, we have thousands of people, are we afraid that he will not be able to ambush? Besides, how is there an ambush here? Is it possible to hide in the wall? Hahaha....."
"What about the cliffs? Will it be ......."
The laughter came to an abrupt end
Just then, a jet-black thing fell from above.
'Bang .......'
The jet-black thing fell directly into the water, splashed a splash, and then slowly floated to the surface.
"What's that?"
"It's like a barrel"
"Barrels? Fish it up and see what's inside. ”
The barrel was then salvaged and brought onto the ship, but surprisingly, there was nothing in the barrel, only a pungent smell.
"What the hell?"
"Something has fallen again."
One by one, the barrels fell from the cliffs, and soon the entire surface of the water was filled with barrels, and the pungent smell permeated the surroundings.
"No, get out of here, we're in an ambush, and this barrel is filled with oil. They will burn us alive. Hurry back! ”
However, it was too late to realize that one by one the burning barrels fell from the cliffs, and finally burst into the hull of the ship, and the oil in the barrels burst open the moment it touched the flames.
The heat wave swept in, and one pirate ship after another began to ignite a raging fire, and some pirates quickly jumped into the sea to escape when they saw the ship on fire.
However, at this time, the sea was already floating with oil, and in this quiet strait, the oil would not be washed away at all for a while, and the flames on the hull of the ship rushed into the sea, and in three breaths at most, the entire surface of the strait was ablaze.
The pirates who jumped into the water were like prawns jumping into a frying pan, and they were simply killing themselves.
The rearmost ships began to retreat frantically, because the few ships were not very hot, and they were at the rear, so it was still too late to retreat.
It's just that the ships in the middle and front are not so lucky, the fire is too big, the crew has become a mess, and in addition to the congestion of the strait, there is simply no way out. For a while, everyone was desperate, and all they could do seemed to be waiting to be scorched.
"Hold on, the oil in the sea is limited, and it will flow, and the oil will almost burn when it is almost burned. We won't be burned if we jump, we still have hope. ”
As soon as these words came out, the pirates' eyes lit up.
That's right! The amount of oil in the sea is limited, and the oil will flow, so as long as they hold on until the oil in the sea is almost burned, they can jump into the water to escape. Everyone is a pirate, there is nothing to say, even if the fire on the sea is not extinguished for the time being, they can still dive into the water, just surface every two minutes to change the air.
Seeing hope, the pirates gathered around the ship where there was no fire, waiting for the fire in the sea to subside.
As time passed, the fire on the sea began to weaken, and the hull of the ship burned to pieces
"Everyone, dive into the water, the fire is already small."
'Puff...'
'Puff .....'
One by one, the pirates jumped into the sea and swooped down to avoid the flames, only to wait a few minutes before they surfaced to breathe.
On the cliff, Zhao Xiaopang and a group of people were standing above, watching the pirates jump into the water one by one, but they were indifferent.
"Big brother is not good, they jumped into the sea and escaped, they all rely on the sea to eat and the water is very good, so they can't be burned to death if they go on like this! What should we do if we run out of oil? ”
The one-eyed dragon jumped to his feet in a hurry, this was finally a successful ambush, did you want to let them escape like this?
"Why don't we throw stones and smash them, float up and smash them one by one, and smash them all to death."
Zhao Xiaopang waved his hand
"How can there be so many stones, and besides, you can throw them so high? You won't be able to kill much, unless you fill in the strait. ”
"What then?"
"You don't have to do anything, they can't live, I'll just wait for them to jump into the sea!"
"Is there something in the sea of big brother?"
"There's nothing in the sea, what it was before and what it is now, there's nothing in the sea, but there's something missing on the sea."
"On the sea? Big brother, are you talking about boats? ”
Zhao Xiaopang shook his head and didn't speak.
A few minutes later, the pirates surfaced one after another, intending to breathe.
But the accident happened, and they found that they couldn't breathe, and they felt suffocated when they breathed the air.
The pirates were frightened, and kept pinching their necks, and the lack of oxygen for a long time made their blood boil, and their faces turned red, turning from red to purple, and finally they sank to the bottom of the water in a black and weak way.
Looking at the strange appearance of the pirates, the eyes of the Heavenly Damper on the cliff widened one by one, what is the situation? When he looked at Zhao Xiaopang again, his eyes were full of admiration, although he didn't know what was going on, but it must have been done by the boss.
Zhao Xiaopang looked at the pirates who were floating and sinking, and sighed.
Although they are all enemies, they are also fresh lives, and they can only be blamed for being born at the wrong time.
It's not pity, it's just helplessness. In a life-and-death battle, the winner is king.
As for why the pirates suffocated, it's quite simple.
Because of the lack of oxygen.
This strait is narrow and deep, the fluidity of the air flow on the level of the strait is not good, so there is no wind and no waves, coupled with a fire before, the oxygen at the bottom has been exhausted, especially near the water level, the oxygen has been thin to a certain extent, and it is impossible to provide the amount of oxygen needed by the human body, plus the pirates, is to dive underwater to fight the fire, and only when they can't hold it can they surface for ventilation, but it happens that there is no oxygen in the air on the surface at this time, and the diving hypoxia is almost to the limit, When they surfaced, they were still hypoxic, so they eventually died of hypoxia.
If you hold back for another five minutes, or dive five minutes slowly, you might be able to survive.
It's a pity that these five minutes are not in their hands, but in the hands of Zhao Xiaopang. Perhaps for the first time in their lives, time had been controlled by someone else, albeit only for a short five minutes.
Lost this short five minutes, and it also ended their lives!
