Chapter 390: Bullets from a Thousand Kilometers Away
Marceau carefully placed the gold cup on Cassimo's table with both hands, and then nodded and stepped aside, like a groveling minion, but this guy's eyes fell on Li Chaoyang's body.
A pair of eyes pierced people's hearts like knives.
"Where did you find this?" Quasimo held the golden cup with a greedy look in his eyes.
"The shipwreck, the official ship that we just sank, this is just one of them, look at this."
As she spoke, Marceau took out a fist-sized sapphire from behind her back, it presented an intoxicating oval shape, like a blue goose egg, blue like the sea, and like a deep starry sky, without edges and corners, without flaws, round, smooth, like a magical thing from another dimension.
Cassimo's eyes lit up, he gave up the so-called etiquette and arrogance, trembled and stretched out his hands to take it, and held it up to the sun, his excited expression constantly changing on his face.
"Oh my God, what have I seen, do you know what it is? This is the eye of the sky in the notes of the great explorer Jason Jordy, it is the third eye of the goddess of nature, it is rumored that it can penetrate the clouds and mist, see through the sea, and have magical powers, I didn't expect to be able to find it, wait, you just said that this is just one of them? Realizing that he had lost his temper, Quasimo quickly put away his crazy smile.
Marceau hunched over with a flattering smile on his face, this is an extremely smart guy, he didn't tell Casimo about the surprise at the beginning, but squeezed it out little by little like squeezing toothpaste, and finally stretched Casimo's emotions to the top.
"Yes, it's only partial, that ship still has a lot of pirate king's treasure, the general's treasure was found by us, hahaha, we got rich, let this person tell you."
Marceau picked up the man on the ground, grabbed his hair and pulled out the dagger, which stabbed the man's palm, and the man screamed in pain.
"Tell Mr. Cassimo where the Pirate King's treasure is?"
"On our ship, on our ship." The man's whole body trembled in pain.
"On your ship? What's going on? What about the generals? Quasimo was also surprised.
They found the official ship last night, at first Cassimo was not suspicious, after discovering the other party's Brunei flag, Casimo immediately realized that something was wrong, the general's lair is in Brunei, this ship is very likely to be the general's reinforcements, in order to find out what is going on, they immediately pursued.
The official ship turned around and ran, which made Casimo more convinced of his own judgment.
In order to force the other party to stop the ship, Casimo ordered the shelling, and the official ship was hit, but still ran away, so Casimo shouted directly to the other party through the public channel, directly asking the other party to surrender, and showing that he already knew the other party's true identity.
But the other party ignored it.
Early in the morning, Cassimo received a call from an undercover agent saying that the general had escaped and told them to keep an eye out for a white speedboat.
It's just that in the vast sea, it's too difficult to find a clue to a speedboat.
For this reason, Casimo changed his strategy and decided to sink the official ship first.
"The general has jumped ship, and he has been on our ship all along." The man's face was distorted in pain.
"When did it happen, where did he jump into the sea?"
"He jumped into the sea alone before we sank the ship, just before we sank."
Cassimo looked into the distance with a smug look on his face, the news was too exciting and interesting.
It turned out that the official ship had already received the general, and on their way back, they collided head-on with the Exocet.
So they turned around and ran, if it was an ordinary pirate ship official ship really ran away, but the Flying Fish was different, the reason why he called the Flying Fish was because its speed was far faster than ordinary ships, this was a pirate ship modified by Cassimo, loaded with several high-power diesel engines, and no one could escape their pursuit.
Casimo, who came from the Marine Corps, was instilled early on with a combat theory that speed is king, and that he can intervene at the first time, solve the battle at the first time, and retreat at the first time.
So Casimo is one of the most successful pirate kings in the Asia-Pacific region.
The official ship was overtaken, and the poor firepower was no match for the Exocet, and it was finally sunk on the shore of Stone Island and stranded on the beach.
The Pirate King's treasure is important, but even more important is the General, who is the pirate's rival and most hated enemy.
Mercenaries carry out pirate work, plunder merchant ships, invade other countries, and carry out secret assassination and robbery missions, all of which were originally pirates. It's just that those financiers chose mercenaries in order to avoid suspicion, and even used mercenaries to destroy the pirates.
Over the years, the general has attacked everywhere, with the support of powerful firepower and excellent intelligence networks, he has repeatedly succeeded, and most of the pirates in the Asia-Pacific region have been driven to the Indian Ocean and the Middle East, and even then the general has not let them go, and not long ago the general sank the ship of Cassimo's good brother in the Indian Ocean.
There is a blood feud between them.
Only when the mercenaries are dead will the owners of the money value of the pirates be valued.
It's a war between agents.
The general must die.
Mercenaries must also die.
"Go, go back, tell them, whoever can find the general, I will reward him with one million dollars, whoever can cut off his head, I will give five million, all remember for me, the general is a big fat man of Asian descent, as long as I meet a fat man, I will kill him, let's go!"
Quasimo's face was gloomy, and with a wave of his big hand, the pirates under his command set off as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and even those who were wiping down the deck dropped their towels, put down their lifeboats, and set off with their oars.
For a while, dozens of speedboats and lifeboats were scattered over the sea, speeding in the direction of Stone Island.
The Exocet also began to turn.
The man bled to death on the deck, and with a wave of his hand, several pirates stepped forward and dragged the man's body aside, throwing it into the sea.
Cassimo sat down again, he picked up a glass of red wine, shook it and took a sip, and closed his eyes comfortably.
"Mr. Casimo ......"
"Marceau, how many times have I told you, don't call me by my name, do you want to kill me?" Quasimo interrupted Marceau's words and pushed a glass of wine in front of Marceau.
"Yes, boss, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." Marceau took the glass and asked tentatively, "Boss, what should we do next?" ”
Marceau's eyes flashed with a glint of essence, in fact, he already had an idea, but he just asked it on purpose.
"This man says we don't need to go to war with these mercenaries, what do you think?"
Marceau blinked his eyes and glanced Li Chaoyang up and down, and when he found that Li Chaoyang had a bomb strapped to his body, he immediately understood that Quasimo had an idea, and immediately changed the topic.
"Boss, I don't know who he is?"
"Tourist, a tourist who was kidnapped by Khmpha."
"Oh, I think he's right, there's really no need for us to go to war with the mercenaries, after all, our most important thing is to salvage the Pirate King's treasure."
"Hahaha, that's right, we're not in a hurry now, salvaging the treasure and finding the general is the most important thing, I plan to let him go over and negotiate with the mercenaries, so that all those guys will gather on the beach." Quasimo was in a good mood at this moment, and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Why don't you let them lay down their arms, we can give them a boat to leave."
"No, no, no, they won't agree to this, the general can't run far if he jumps into the water alone, he will come up sooner or later, there are just a few islands nearby, he has no choice but to go, so I changed my mind, and you will go and tell them in a while, tell them that the general is still alive, whoever can catch the general I will reward five million dollars, and if you are willing to cooperate, you will go to the beach I said before, and if you are unwilling, you will leave Elysium."
Quasimo snapped his fingers and called the bubble noodle-headed pirate over.
"Dudu, he'll leave it to you, take him to those mercenaries, remember, you're here to negotiate, if they don't cooperate, tell them we'll level Elysium."
Instant noodle head nodded, grabbed Li Chaoyang's collar, and threw Li Chaoyang directly off the boat.
With a pop, Li Chaoyang was like a cannonball smashed into the sea, his hands were tied and he couldn't swim, so he could only rely on his body to struggle and float up in the water.
Immediately afterwards, a speedboat arrived at Li Chaoyang's side and dragged Li Chaoyang up.
The instant noodles grabbed Li Chaoyang's hair and waved his hand, and two punches hit Li Chaoyang's stomach, and Li Chaoyang's stomach was so painful that he almost vomited.
He grabbed Li Chaoyang's neck and pressed Li Chaoyang's head into the sea.
The speedboat was speeding towards the shore, and Li Chaoyang's face was grinding in the water like an oar, like a pinprick in the water, and it seemed that his skin was about to crack at any time.
It didn't take long for the speedboat to arrive at the waters near Paradise Island, and the bubble noodle head pulled Li Chaoyang up, and then raised a white flag, slowing down and slowly moving along the coastline.
The three pirates on the ship all raised their guns, Li Chaoyang was pulled to the front by them, knelt on the speedboat as a shield, several pirates shrank behind Li Chaoyang, and some even put the barrel of the gun on Li Chaoyang's shoulder. Li Chaoyang moved slightly, and looked at Du Du, and the bomb remote control was in Du Du's hand.
Elysium is quiet, with no sound except for a few seabirds chirping from time to time. But Li Chaoyang knew very well that the mercenaries and Guo Mingming were nearby, maybe there was a gun or even more muzzles aimed at him at this time, he was a live target, as long as he was hit, it would be a dead end.
Du Du took Li Chaoyang and slowly sailed into the strait between Elysium Island and Snake Island.
When they arrived, they were more cautious and stopped at the edge of a reef, which was surrounded by seawater and was still more than twenty meters away from the shore.
Dudu looked around through the scope with his gun.
However, he didn't see a single person for a long time, and the mercenaries seemed to have disappeared.
"They're not all going to die, are they?" The red-haired pirate asked in a whisper, hunching his neck.
"No way, I don't believe they're all dead, and the boss says that if there are people, there will be people." Du Du pushed Li Chaoyang and roared in a low voice: "Quick, shout, tell them that we are here to negotiate." ”
"I can't kneel on it like that, if I get hit, the bomb will explode and you'll all die." Li Chaoyang said.
"Where did you get so much nonsense, let you shout and shout."
Even so, Du Du still blocked an explosion-proof shield in front of Li Chaoyang, exposing Li Chaoyang's head outside, so that even if Li Chaoyang was shot in the head, the bomb would not be detonated, and they would be safe.
"Guys, I know you're nearby, the pirates want to talk to you, just now the general's ship was sunk, he has jumped into the sea, Captain Cassimo has no intention of fighting you, as long as you don't shoot, they won't shoot, and Captain Casimo also said that whoever can find the general will get five million dollars, if you want to join them, if you want to cooperate, you can go to the beach outside the cannibal camp."
Li Chaoyang's voice echoed in the strait, and in the woods next to them, Mike's sniper rifle was already aimed at Li Chaoyang. There were also a number of mercenaries around him, all of whom were ready to enter the battle mode.
"Hit?" Mike asked in a low voice.
"Wait." Thorin raised his hand and stopped the group.
"What, you're tempted? What cooperation is fake, let's make it clear that we are sent to death in the past, the general has already run away, how can it be sunk by them? Shoot. Mike didn't believe Li Chaoyang's words.
After all, the general ran away last night, and at least a hundred nautical miles at this time, how could he be sunk in this vicinity.
"I know, but we don't have to fight them, and there's nothing to lose by talking to them, I'll go out and talk to them, everyone be ready, and if they make any moves, you'll shoot."
"You said the general's ship was sunk?" Thorin stepped out of the woods.
The Dudu men quickly turned their guns on Thorin.
"Yes, I saw the Pirate King's treasure, and among them was a sapphire the size of a goose egg, do you remember? And I'm not one of theirs, I don't have to lie to you. Li Chaoyang said.
Of course, Thorin had seen the gem he was talking about, and it was the most beautiful of all the treasures, and everyone was still talking to each other at the time, and some people bluntly said that the gem was worth at least 100 million dollars.
At that time, Thomas wanted to take it to his own and was almost shot by Nick.
That batch of treasures was brought out of the cave, it stands to reason that Li Chaoyang should not have seen it, he can tell that this sapphire seems that the general has indeed had an accident.
"What if we don't cooperate?" Thorin asked.
"If you don't cooperate, you'll all die!" Du Du poked his head out from behind Li Chaoyang, "The general said that if you don't cooperate, he will blow up Elysium Island, and none of you will be able to run away at that time." ”
Thorin thought for a moment and said, "We can cooperate, but it's our freedom where we go, and you must give us ships to let us go after we find the general." ”
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and Du Du's head was suddenly exploded, and the red and white flew into Li Chaoyang's face.
This shot came from Snake Island in the rear, at a distance of at least 1,500 meters.
Master, absolute master.
Du Du fell on the boat as soon as his body was crooked, the remote control fell into the water, and Li Chaoyang rolled forward when he saw this and fell into the sea.
The tense mercenaries, thinking that the pirates had fired first, immediately pulled the trigger, and in an instant more than a dozen guns opened fire at the same time.
The bullets like a torrential rain instantly knocked several pirates on the speedboat into a sieve, one by one the flesh and blood flew sideways, the speedboat was also smashed and caught fire, a loud bang exploded into the sky, the hull of the ship was torn apart and turned into wreckage, the corpses floated on the sea, and the blood spread rapidly and stained the surrounding sea water red.
The gunfire stopped, the sea was calm again, and a good ship was gone in a blink of an eye.
Thorin was a little angry, although he knew that the pirates would not fulfill their promises, but at least he could buy them time to breathe, after all, the value of the general was much higher than that of the pirates, and the general was better to deal with alone at this time.
The pirates will definitely pull out their hands and find the general first before they fight them. The other party also has a concern when they come to negotiate at this time, that is, they are afraid that the general and the mercenaries will join forces again, so it will be much more difficult to eliminate the general, which is very important for the pirates, and the purpose of negotiating at this moment is to prevent them from joining forces again and deliberately dividing the mercenaries.
This is a great opportunity for mercenaries, who have plenty of time to find an escape or find a way to capture the ship.
Well, now the negotiations are not over before the exchange of fire.
"Who told you to fire?" Thorin turned his head in anger and glared at the other pirates viciously.
"It wasn't us who did it first, but from the opposite island, and I don't know who it was, and the others thought it was the pirates who shot first, so they opened fire, I don't think there's anything wrong with that." Mike said disapprovingly.
"Is it really okay? Killing the emissaries means that we reject all their proposals, and we want to be their enemies, and there are only a few of us, so you don't really think that we can beat them, do you? ”
Mike shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and said, "As long as we don't go out, it's not so easy for them to come up." ”
"Don't you hear, they will have ships, they have artillery, they don't need to go to the island at all, their attack will come soon, retreat, everyone will retreat to the other side."
Seeing that things were about to take a turn for the better, but he didn't expect to be stirred up in an instant, Thorin glanced at the snake island opposite, and his eyes showed a hint of fierceness.
"So what do we do next?" Mike asked.
"Find the general, the general is worth more than us, he is now our biggest bargaining chip, and we have an extra chance of winning if we catch the general."
The plan couldn't catch up with the change, Thorin originally planned to send people to Snake Island to attack the pirates, and deliberately pulled those tourists in to cushion their backs, but he didn't expect the pirates to arrive so quickly, and also exchanged fire with them, so the pirates would be on high alert, and it was almost impossible to sneak attack and rob the ship.
On the edge of the reef, Li Chaoyang emerged from the sea, and he didn't go far just now, and he couldn't go.
After holding it in the water for too long, Li Chaoyang's lungs were about to explode, gasping for breath, and when he thought that there were snipers on the other side, he quickly dived again, and went around to the side of the reef, avoiding the snipers and mercenaries.
There was no one around, the mercenaries had already retreated, and Li Chaoyang clung to the reef and broke the rope on his hand, freeing his hands.
However, he still has a bomb strapped to his body, like a moving barrel of explosives, and he must be doubly careful to avoid being detected.
There are mercenaries on Elysium, and there are also exchanges of fire with pirates, and it is conceivable that it will not be long before this place will become a hell on earth, and a great war is inevitable.
The only place you can go is Snake Island on the other side.
The shot just now was extremely accurate, and the marksmanship had reached the point of being superb, Ye Haiyang's level among the tourists was like this, but he had already been killed, and the two sides were negotiating just now, if it was a mercenary, he should not make a move.
Li Chaoyang thought of Mia, but Mia was also pirates, and these pirates were her allies, and she had no reason to shoot.
Who if not Mia?
The target on the island is too big, so I have to wait for the sniper to retreat and then find a way to swim over.
