Chapter 159: The Legend of Elysium
Originally from a small country in South Asia and whose family has lived on ships for generations, Zaha, an engineer, was one of the first to follow Khuppa.
Rewind the clock to last night, when Zaha, who was on duty, suddenly received a notice from Mia that he had changed shifts early tonight, and he and the other pirates secretly descended to the surface in a speedboat.
He didn't know what had happened until the guns rang out in the rebellion, and everyone was happy to learn that Mia had taken control of the Seawolf, and most of the pirates had had enough of the madman Khampa, so no one spoke up after Khampa was not captured.
The big guys thought that if they won, they would have a good life in the future.
The sudden arrival of the pirate ship broke everything, and although Mia tried her best to save the situation, the Seawolf was sunk under the strong firepower of the other party, and Mia had to give the order to abandon the ship and flee to the nearest island of Elysium.
Pirates have heard about the legend of Elysium, but this island is not as beautiful as its name suggests, and there is a story about this island.
Legend has it that in the last century, when pirates were rampant in the world, a Chinese pirate king rose in Southeast Asia, and their home port was the now famous Singapore, who held the Straits of Malacca and looted passing ships and accumulated a huge fortune. Especially after cooperating with the British, they ran rampant in the Pacific Ocean in the name of the Queen, wantonly plundered, and even relied on powerful firepower to invade coastal countries.
The Pirate King even overshadowed the Caribbean pirates of the same period, but when the British gained a foothold and began to attack the Pirate King, the Seawolf Pirates were first driven out of Singapore, and then the British united with other forces to encircle the Seawolf Pirates, and even divided the Seawolf Pirates from within.
The Seawolf Pirates, who were once rampant in chaos, fell apart and gradually split into branches.
The Pirate King disappeared from public view with a huge amount of wealth, it is rumored that he hid on an island, this island is shrouded in fog all year round, the island is full of fierce beasts, the Pirate King also hanged the captured soldiers on the shore, the ghost of the soldier roams the island all day long, anyone who sets foot on the island will be cursed and die on the island, even the soul does not want to leave, the Pirate King built a royal palace in a cave, it is rumored that the walls of this palace are made of gold bricks, Inside the royal palace there is a throne of red coral encrusted with precious stones. The palace is filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women, and it is simply a paradise on earth, and this island is known as the Island of Bliss.
No one knows the exact location of Elysium, and no one knows what it looks like, and it is said that the people who have coveted the wealth of Elysium have never come out after going up to it.
Elysium is a legend, and basically no one believes in the existence of Elysium.
However, just a few days ago, Khupa suddenly told everyone that he had found Elysium, and said that he would take everyone to Elysium Island to find the treasure of the Pirate King.
In the sea fog, Mia approached Elysium with only a dozen people left, but the sea fog caused one of the ships to lose its way, and only eight people actually landed on Elysium.
The outskirts of Elysium were no different from ordinary islands, the place where they landed was overgrown with coconut trees, and the island was silent and inaudible, and the pirates sat staggered on the grass.
The big guy was exhausted and soaked, the tragic naval battle almost destroyed everyone's fighting spirit, everyone's face was full of exhaustion, and the excitement of finding treasure in the early stage had long been destroyed by the war.
In normal times, everyone will also face the military and police, but every time there is no danger, because someone provides accurate information, they have almost never had an accident, but I don't expect to suffer a devastating blow this time.
Mia leaned on the coconut tree panting, looking at the sea with a confused expression, Niu Dabao followed Mia in panic, he was carrying a bulging backpack on his back, the second officer and the chief engineer stared at Niu Dabao, and the two of them walked over quickly.
"What are you going to do?" Niu Dabao retreated to Mia's side.
"What's in your bag?" The second mate stared at Niu Dabao with malicious intentions.
"Nothing, just something of my own." Niu Dabao's hand touched his waist.
"Your stuff? What can you have as a slave? It can't be money, right? I'll just say how those pirates came in such time, someone must have betrayed us, don't you think it's an ambush? Why did they come as soon as we arrived? It's no coincidence, we must have been betrayed! ”
"That's right, how did those prisoners escape without guilt? I have long thought that this guy is not ordinary, open the bag! The chief engineer took out a long dagger and glared at Niu Dabao viciously.
As soon as they said this, the others became alert.
When something so big happens, someone needs to come out and take the blame.
And the whole thing is really weird, first of all, they have never heard of such a large pirate ship in all these years of rampaging in the Pacific, and it is equipped with such a conspicuous weapon of naval guns, aren't they afraid to encounter other armies?
What are they doing on Elysium? Even if it was the same as the purpose of the Seawolf, how could it come so punctually, as if waiting for the Seawolf.
If there is a mole, then Niu Dabao's suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest.
He is an outsider, and he is not familiar with everyone, so it is difficult not to doubt him.
"You doubt me? I've long since broken with those tourists, how could I be their man, let alone betray you, and I don't know anything about the pirate ship. ”
Niu Dabao's explanation is particularly redundant at this time.
The chief engineer dodged the backpack and pulled the zipper open, pouring out the contents with a clatter.
Rolls of bundled dollars and francs rolled out, all large bills.
In addition to these, there are dozens of yellow gold bars, gold nuggets, gold watches, and even Chen Yaodong's valuable jadeite.
Everyone's eyes lit up, these things could only appear in one place, and that was Khuppa's Captain's Quarters safe!
"It seems that what I said is right, there is really a mole among us, Mia, what do you say to do?" The second mate picked up the jade and weighed it in his hand.
Niu Dabao's eyes were a little flustered, and he looked at Mia and stopped talking, this bag of money is worth tens of millions, as long as he can bring it ashore, he will not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life.
"I'm curious, he's just a prisoner, and he's not qualified to go near the captain's quarters, so how would he open the safe even if he could get in? Don't tell me what kind of lockpicker he is. The chief engineer's tone was obviously yin and yang.
"It's very simple, someone knows the password and told him, there is so much money, who doesn't want to swallow it alone?" The second mate was clearly talking about Mia.
"Mia, I'm ......"
"What am I?" Mia rudely interrupted Niu Dabao's words.
"No, you ......"
"What are you? This is how you repay my trust in you, and dare to steal money, your courage is too great, if you want to die, I will fulfill you. ”
As she spoke, Mia suddenly raised her pistol and put it on Niu Dabao's forehead.
"Say, did you release the prisoner?"
"It's not."
"Smack!"
Mia shot Niu Dabao out of one ear.
"Yes or no?"
Niu Dabao covered his forehead, and the tears of pain were about to fall.
"It's not!"
Mia raised her hand and shot Niu Dabao's other ear again.
"Let me ask you again, who made you do this? You can't do so many things alone, there must be an internal response. ”
Niu Dabao seemed to understand something, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the second officer and the chief engineer.
"They're the ones who made me do it, and he's the one who told me to go to the captain's room and steal something."
The second officer and the chief engineer were furious, they obviously grabbed Niu Dabao's pigtails, the evidence was conclusive, but they didn't expect this guy to bite back, and Mia was obviously inducing him to bite indiscriminately.
"Stinky boy, make it clear, I let you go? And then I expose myself myself? I'm sick in the head, right? If you don't make it clear today, I'll kill you! The second pair grabbed Niu Dabao's collar and waved his hand to punch.
The chief engineer also joined the group fight, and the two of them used Niu Dabao as a sandbag, punching and kicking extremely viciously, especially the second officer, this guy is a deserter from South Korea, picking Niu Dabao's joints and kicking fiercely, the sound of broken bones is clearly visible, Niu Dabao fell to the ground and wailed, he grabbed Mia's trouser leg and raised his head again.
This time, however, he was confronted with Mia's knife-cold eyes and the muzzle of a black hole.
A gunshot Niu Dabao's head was blown up by Mia, and he fell heavily to the ground, once upon a time he followed Mia proudly and completely regarded himself as a member of the pirates, but now he was slapped in the face by reality, pirates on this ship will always only believe in pirates, Mia knows this well, she knows that it is time to sacrifice Niu Dabao, only when he dies this team can be united again.
To put it simply, Niu Dabao is a substitute for the dead.
The second officer and the chief engineer were still unsatisfied, and kicked the corpse a few times, spitting before giving up.
