CHAPTER 636: DIE EASY (6/7)
Morning, eleven thirty a.m.
On the beach on the east side of Canabis Island, fifty heavily armed pirates stood in two columns, like well-trained troops.
In the middle of the two rows of queues is a clearing about ten meters wide.
In the clearing, there were three people. Two standing, one kneeling......
They are: Pirate Captain Dehua. Gray, First Officer Max. Gray, as well as ...... Famous director, former pirate, James. Francis. Not deaf yet.
At this moment, there are four cameras, which are being operated by four professional videographers, aimed at these three people from different angles.
"Cut...... Is it still only possible to videotap......" Graybeard muttered as he stood there with a displeased expression.
"If you want to go live, you have to turn off the signal jamming device......," Max continued, "and now that our 'treasure' has been exposed, we must not let the outside world discover what is happening here...... At least, not until we complete the transfer of inventory......"
"Hmph...... If you want me to say...... Let's just go straight to the island and take back the treasure...... They were just a few men and a few guns...... Can it still be held? Graybeard said.
"They can't hold it, but the base's defense system can." Max said, "With that cap's ability, it's easy to rewrite the system there, and we'll immediately become a turtle in an urn when we get in......," Max said, "Ugh...... Besides, they've monitored the entire island now, and there's no way we're going to do a 'raid'. β
"Are we just going to put up with it?" Graybeard said, "Is it really traded according to what that 'carbon' says?" β
"I'm afraid...... That's all it can be......" Max said in a deep voice, "actually...... All factors are taken into account...... His mention is not unavoidable. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
To be clear, the deal Feng Bujue proposed was that Graybeard could kill the deaf and kill as much as he wanted, but he had to let go of the rest of the Dolphin and the survivors on the island. Jue Ge promised that he would "protect" Graybeard's "treasure" until the latter removed it.
As for the specific operation method of this transaction. Brother Jue has also made arrangements......
The two sides agreed that before 12 a.m., Graybeard's side would recall all the pirates from the island and complete their "revenge ritual".
At twelve o'clock sharp, eighteen staff members on the island, as well as Clam Ers, bin Laden, Bubo, and caps...... Twenty-two people in total will return to the cruise ship.
Seal unaware...... remain in the pirate's base.
After confirming that all telecommunication equipment on board the ship (including the passengers' own devices) had been destroyed, the pirates dissolved the metal slurry from the stern of the ship and released the Dolphin away from Canabis.
Subsequently, the two sides stood still. Wait two hours......
This was not enough time for the Dolphin to sail to any land or island, but it was enough to escape the pirates.
This...... That's enough.
When those two hours have passed, Feng Bujue will disarm the base's defenses and welcome the arrival of the pirates as promised......
If the deal goes along, except that there is no deaf and Stephen. Outside of the carbon, everyone else on board the Dolphin can be rescued, and the pirates will have more time to transfer their "treasure". Because the Dolphin has lost its long-range communication capability. When the ship docks to call the police, and then the police arrive, it will be at least seven or eight hours later...... By that time, the pirates had already moved everything they could (gravity-defying catapult technology was already widespread in this universe). Carrying heavy loads isn't a problem for humans here).
As a result, the deal cost Greybeard a piece of his ore vein, a large ransom, and four of his men (which he didn't really care about). Fortunately, he was still able to take away a large amount of inventory and avoid further losses.
And most importantly...... He completed his revenge.
On the other side, the vast majority of the program team and the crew of the Dolphin. will be able to escape from the tiger's mouth and pick up his life.
Overall, this is indeed an outcome acceptable to both parties.
But...... There is one more doubt. Puzzled Max. That's -- Stephen. Why is carbon going this far?
Obviously, this writer played one of the most crucial roles in the whole incident. It is precisely because of his personal willingness to stay on the island, keep watch, and use the destruction of the inventory in the base as a bargaining chip...... To supervise the actions of the pirates is to ensure that the whole transaction goes smoothly.
He's like Armageddon (also known as Armageddon, written by Michael. The protagonist of the film directed by Bei, released in 1998, Harry, finally willingly stayed on the meteorite alone, and died with the "end times".
Although Mr. Carbon will not be killed by a nuclear bomb dramatically, there is no doubt that he will most likely be slashed by Graybeard in the end......
Max just doesn't understand, why would such a person who keeps saying that he doesn't care about the life and death of the hostages make such a sacrificing act to save others? Is he acting? But which one is this playing? Is he the hero who plays the villain? Or a villain who plays a hero?
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Hmph...... That's fine. Graybeard spat out, "There are gains and losses in life, and today's revenge will be avenged, and I don't care about the rest." β
"Hehe......" kneeling on the beach was not deaf, he was already indifferent, he smiled, "Your life is really sad, Decline Dehua ......" He raised his head and glanced at Graybeard, "After killing me, your life ...... What's left? β
"Hah! Seeing that your life has come to an end, have you also started to be sentimental? Graybeard sneered, "James, I don't need you to worry about my life. When I went to sea at the age of seventeen, I knew I wasn't going to end well...... I can sue you now, and I will still spend the rest of my life adrift at sea, drunk and rich, and finally die...... But in any case, I have a son whom I am proud of. β
"Really...... Is that what you think......" Glancing at Max before he was deaf, "IMHO...... He became the way he is today, and you should blame yourself and feel guilt, not pride. This pride of yours is a reflection of your stupidity and selfishness. His voice was lifeless because of his injuries, but the words that came out of his mouth ...... But it's still loud. "You've turned a genius who might go down in history into something like you...... You've made his end as tragic as you are......"
"Shut up!" Graybeard waved his right arm, and there was an extra piece of human flesh on his iron hook.
Even though the flesh on his cheeks was scraped off, he was not deaf and just snorted, looking ...... He was already numb to the pain.
"Death is coming...... Still want to provoke our father and son? You despicable bastard......" Graybeard said, taking a half-step back and drawing his saber from his waist.
It was an ornate pirate scimitar, with a wavy twist that curved toward the end of the handle and joined together to form a curved gauntlet. The golden hilt is embellished with dazzling rubies, and the sharp blade glows in the sunlight when unsheathed.
"Everyone...... Everyone who watched the footage, listen to me......" Graybeard raised his scimitar in his left hand and shouted into the camera lens, "this execution...... It has nothing to do with politics, it has nothing to do with justice, it has nothing to do with right and wrong, it has nothing to do with good and evil......" he paused, "Maybe most of you think ...... The man on his knees was a good man, a decent man. He was a great director, a good father, a good husband...... Hehe...... Hahahaha......" he laughed. Then there was a loud shout, "It doesn't matter! β
The bright scimitar was raised higher and higher, and the figure of Graybeard also limped to the side behind the deaf: "My fellow pirates." As long as you can understand what I'm saying...... Today...... I, Captain Greybeard, slay the Caribbean Shark in the name of revenge! β
Whewββ
In the next second, the knife fell. Blood splattered in five steps.
Graybeard has been single for ten years, and his right hand is a hook, so I naturally don't need to go into more detail about the arm strength of his left hand. The knife was slashed cleanly. The head fell to the ground.
Due to the speed of the knife, the blood on the neck before the deafness was gushing out at once, and the scene was spectacular......
The two cameramen in charge of the frontal shooting (both crew members on the ship, who were forcibly arrested for filming and execution) were so frightened that they sat on the ground with blank faces.
"Haha...... Hahaha......" Immediately after, Graybeard smiled and looked up to the sky and smiled.
This laughter symbolizes a kind of release, a kind of liberation...... It was as if all his humiliation and hatred had vanished with laughter.
There are countless stories about revenge in the world, but ...... The end of revenge is often ruin, not rebirth.
When the laughter stopped, what was left behind is probably known only to the person concerned.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At 11:45 a.m., in the pirate base.
"Have you made up your mind? Stephen. Clam Les was the last to walk out (the other twenty-one people had already assembled and were waiting in the col outside), he looked at Feng Bujue who remained in the base, and asked with a solemn expression.
"Of course." Feng Bujue said, "Don't worry, although this plan is risky, it is not difficult to implement. He shrugged, "Say it again...... Only in this way can everyone leave safely. β
"Okay......" Clam Les nodded, giving him a deep look, "Good luck." β
"Huh...... There will be a period later. Feng Bujue replied.
By the time he finished speaking, Clam Les had turned around and walked out of base.
A moment later, the group of twenty-two people set off towards the beach......
Brother Jue, who stayed at the base, walked leisurely to a table and put the props on the table into a backpack one by one.
"Very good...... Before leaving, he left me all the props in my inventory, and gave me a bag by the way, which is really righteous. He muttered to himself, "From the surveillance...... The kind of thing called Ju Se Mine (in this universe, Ju Se Mine is a kind of thing similar to a coal mine, many people can identify it, and Brother Jue has asked others how to identify it just now) There is something nearby, and you can take the time to dig a piece down in a while...... In this way, only one last challenge remains......" (To be continued......
