At this time, Hu Jun came down from above, he had an extra backpack on his back, and he was still holding a bright kitchen knife in his hand, and he was about to open his mouth but was stopped by Li Chaoyang.

"There could be someone in there." Li Chaoyang said in a low voice.

Hu Jun also hurriedly squatted down and said: "We saw a lot of fish in the freight yard, still frozen in ice, very fresh, now we have to eat, don't care, let's go quickly." ”

Hu Jun almost put his life into it just now to save people, but at this time he chose to refuse without hesitation, they came to find food, and now that the food has been found, there is no need to go in and take risks.

Besides, they can't take care of themselves, and they can't care so much.

"Let's go? It's a new ship, it's in good condition as a whole, what if it can be driven away? ”

Li Chaoyang said this, Hu Jun woke up like a dream, what he said was right, if this ship could drive away, wouldn't they have been rescued?

Isn't that what everyone has been longing for?

"Really?" Hu Jun's voice trembled.

"I don't know, but the boat is complete and should be startable, so we're going to go in and have a look anyway."

Li Chaoyang cleared his throat and shouted, "Hey, is there anyone?" We are passing tourists, not bad people, if anyone is troublesome to lay down our arms and come out. ”

After shouting, Li Chaoyang shouted again in English.

Then the two of them hurriedly shrank into the corner, staring nervously into the depths of the engine room.

In the past, Li Chaoyang was rescued by the rangers in distress in Hoh Xixi, and they told Li Chaoyang a life-saving truth. Adjust your position immediately after being trapped in the wilderness and shouting, because you may not meet any good people, if you are criminals, then these people will respond to you with either bullets or grenades, and they will never allow any witnesses to live.

If it was a survivor hiding inside, he must be in a state of high tension at this time, and he must be on the last guard after not being 100% sure that he is safe.

However, a minute passed, and there was still no response inside.

"If we go, you'll always be trapped on the ship, knock on the wall a few times if you want to live, I'll only give you ten seconds, and after ten seconds if you don't react, we'll leave."

After shouting, Li Chaoyang began to count down.

“10”

“9”

When he shouted to 8, there were suddenly three crisp knocks inside, two high and one low, the standard SOS international distress signal.

There was really a person in it, and he also understood Li Chaoyang's words.

"I heard you, now come out with your hands held high, and let me see that you have no weapons!"

Hu Jun raised his kitchen knife a little nervously, grabbed the passage stairs with one hand, and was ready to retreat at any time.

It wasn't long before footsteps sounded in the depths of the engine room, and a petite figure appeared in the light, it was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, she was barefoot in a blackened T-shirt, her long dirty hair was hanging down on her shoulders, and she stood trembling with her hands raised.

As soon as Hu Jun saw that he was a child, he was about to go out immediately, but was stopped by Li Chaoyang.

Don't look at the other party as a child, but she already has the ability to shoot, and carelessness may kill her.

"Okay, throw your hands up and turn around, and let me be sure you don't have a weapon." Li Chaoyang continued to shout in English.

The little girl did so, and slowly spun around, looking this way again.

"Alright, come here, go slowly." Li Chaoyang was on high alert and stared at the little girl's every move.

Hu Jun was a little surprised, he was a little suspicious of Li Chaoyang's true identity, this guy's vigilance was too high, and he was very professional, could it be that he was also a soldier before?

The little girl got closer and closer, and just as she walked up, Li Chaoyang walked out of the shadows.

His sudden appearance frightened the little girl and subconsciously took a step back.

"What's your name and where are you from?" Li Chaoyang hid the dagger behind him and walked over, his movements were also very slow, still vigilant.

The little girl trembled and said a name, her English was very lame, and Li Chaoyang almost didn't understand.

Her name is Mia and she is from Johor, Malaysia.

"Don't move, raise your hands."

Li Chaoyang quickly squatted down and searched the little girl's body, when his hand touched Mia, she was obviously trembling, the child was very thin, her foot was injured, and her thumb was infected with an abscess.

"Is there anyone else in there?" Li Chaoyang was relieved that Mia had no weapons on her.

Mia shook her head and didn't speak.

"I think you're just too nervous, she's just a child, or maybe she's the only survivor on this ship." Hu Jun put away the kitchen knife and said with a smile.

"You take her up, and I'll go in and have a look." Li Chaoyang said.

Hu Jun nodded and took Mia away.

Li Chaoyang continued to go deeper, and when he entered the bottom warehouse, he found a small room, judging from the parts stacked inside, it should be an equipment storage warehouse, and in this cabin there was a glass fish tank, and there were several half-gnawed dead fish on the ground, and there were still a few tooth marks on it. It turns out that Mia has survived by eating these tropical fish these days when she is trapped.

The sound of the water that Li Chaoyang heard just now was the sound of her fishing.

Then Li Chaoyang went to check the engine block again, the dense indicator light was green, it was in standby, the reserve power supply was still running, and the power was sufficient, and the fuel gauge showed that the ship's fuel was only used less than one-fifth.

A glance through the chief engineer's log also clearly states that this ship is a new ship that has just been launched, and it was launched just a few months ago.

The last time I was journaled was six days ago.

This should be the time of the accident.

Li Chaoyang held the log, and his hands were trembling with excitement.

The ship, a good ship, they were finally saved.

Start the boat and they'll be able to go home.

Li Chaoyang couldn't wait to rush to the deck and told everyone the good news, and the fishing boat was suddenly jubilant, this is the good news that everyone really wants.

What made Li Chaoyang even more happy was that there were tons of frozen fish stacked in the frozen compartment of the fishing boat, enough for them to eat for several months.

Fresh water reserves are equally abundant, there is no worry about eating and drinking, and there is an intact fishing boat, which is like a pie falling from the sky, and it falls on everyone's heads without warning.

Everyone shouted excitedly towards the cruise ship, and some people jumped into the sea again, struggling to swim to the cruise ship to report back.

The rest of the people scattered everywhere to look for food, some found canned food, some found bread, Hu Jun found a few coconuts in the kitchen, moved out and pried open and drank coconut water, and then took out the coconut meat and ate it a lot, the fragrant coconut meat is crispy, tender and sweet, and the things that are usually disdained are extremely delicious at this time.

Li Chaoyang went to the cockpit again, and on the bridge lay a highly decomposed male corpse, and in front of him lay his ID, this person was the captain of the fishing boat, a relatively short Malay.

The captain was hit by several bullets in his body, all the bullets were fired from behind, and he was still holding a satellite phone in his hand before he died, Li Chaoyang picked up the phone and found that the telephone and the navigator were artificially damaged, and it seemed that the captain was killed while on the phone.

Li Chaoyang broke the captain's corpse, the corpse fell apart in an instant, his head fell off his neck and rolled to the ground, a large number of maggots poured out, and the captain's face was riddled with maggots.

A notebook peeked out of a half-open drawer, and on the brown leather cover was a few large letters: Captain's Logbook.

Li Chaoyang opened the drawer, shook off the maggots on it, and took out the log.

The first page of the journal is a family photo, the captain has three daughters, the eldest is an adult, and there is a flesh mole at the corner of her mouth, which is very conspicuous.

The logbook, written in English, is very detailed, showing that the ship had sailed a few days earlier, destined for the Southeast Pacific region.

On the last page of the journal is scribbled a line: Help, we have encountered pirates, they have boarded the ship, help us.

In addition to the logbook, there was a list of people in the drawer, which showed that the ship had a crew of 37 people, including four women, and that the captain was the owner of the fishing boat, which belonged to a distant-water fishing company.

In the lounge behind the captain's cabin lay a young woman, also shot, judging by her height, she should be the captain's wife. Several fingers of her right hand had been severed, and the ring on her finger had been stripped away.

The lockbox where valuables were stored was also pried open, and the contents were looted, leaving only a few cruise documents and a few Malaysian dollars scattered on the ground.

Most of the pirates broadcast on the news in the past were hostage-taking, and this was the first time Li Chaoyang had felt their ferocity up close.

This phenomenon also made Li Chaoyang very puzzled, there was almost no trace of resistance on the fishing boat, these pirates were easy to succeed, they tied two people and shot them on the deck, the others were driven to the cabin and shot intensively, and the captain and his wife were shot in the captain's room.

The whole process was unusually rough and simple, and he directly chopped off his finger in order to snatch the ring.

The frozen fish in the hold were not real catches, but bait for fishing, which were worthless sardines, and were frozen and fresh and difficult to preserve, so they were abandoned by the pirates, who ransacked everything of value and fled.

It stands to reason that the captain dared to cross the Pacific Ocean to Peru to fish, which means that he has considerable experience in deep-sea fishing, and it is impossible for him not to know about the existence of pirates, how can he not be unguarded at all? Could it be that the invasion took place at night?

There's also the problem that these pirates are too crude.

Pirates all over the world are now in a crackdown posture, with some large fleets escorted by warships and even helicopter patrols in hot spots, such as the Gulf of Aden.

The strategy of the military and police against pirates is mostly to drive away, the main reason is that they do not want to provoke conflicts with pirates, and now pirates in some areas are no longer groups of lone wolves, and there are many countries lurking behind them, so the current pirates are not just simple pirates, which is also the real reason why they have been rampant for decades and cannot be eliminated, for some people they are chess pieces.

The pirates are also very knowledgeable, mostly kidnapping, robbing and extortion, and rarely killing hostages.

The reason is very simple, if they do too much, they will be strangled in all directions, and they don't need to take such a risk.

But the pirates killed everyone, and the 396 was a new ship of great value, and they could have taken it.

Even if you don't grab the ship, you can blow it up, and then you don't know who did it.

But as if they were in a hurry, they killed everyone and then ran away.

If this ship is discovered, it will surely cause an uproar in the Pacific Ocean, which is not the Gulf of Aden, but is surrounded by stable sovereign states with their own navies.

Isn't that a death sentence?

Pirates are not brainless scoundrels in the eyes of many people, on the contrary, they are very smart and know how to avoid blows, and the pirate ships are piloted by experienced and cunning sailors, and pirates are mostly retired navy, such a group of people should not do such a stupid thing, this is to recruit themselves to black.

Li Chaoyang glanced at Mia on the deck, thinking that maybe only she could answer.
