Chapter XXVII
After a cannon shot, Little Captain Jack was stunned for a moment: "It's broken!"
The nearest first mate asked rhetorically, "Captain, what's broken?"
Now little Jack regretted the act of giving the order to fire first, which meant that his group had suddenly changed from being surrounded by a weak party to a strong side. Surrounded by these unknown ships, a shot is equivalent to giving the opponent a legitimate and reasonable opportunity to counterattack!
Now in this passive environment, which is called heaven and earth is not spiritual, it is completely self-defeating!
Hearing the first mate's question, Little Jack had to pretend to be calm and replied: "I'm worried about whether the gunners will be overly nervous because of the first shot!"
Then, before the first mate could answer, he felt a series of loud noises around the hull, as if a rainstorm was coming again, and the whole ship was drenched!
Two of his own shells missed, and in exchange for one or twenty shells from the other side, they hit him. Shaken by the sudden waves, little Jack slammed his head into the metal wall behind him.
Dizzy and shaking his head, the matter has come to this point, it is no longer meaningful to regret firing first, while supporting the wall and slowly climbing up, a new order was issued again: "Continue to keep the curve sailing, anyway, you can't run anymore, all the cannons can fire at will!"
The chief secretary beside the first mate hurriedly came over and helped little Jack to get up: "Captain, you." ”
Little Jack ignored his still somewhat dazed head, and pushed away the secretary general's arm: "It doesn't matter, I'll go to the warehouse to help carry the shells, and the first mate is now in charge here!
With that, he turned and opened the door, swaying as the sea swayed from one side to the depths of the cabin.
As soon as Little Jack left, all the gunners were free to fire under the orders of the first mate, but after all, they were not professionally trained army gunners, and even the closest shells to the enemy ship landed fifty meters away!
And as the enemy got closer and closer to the Mary by relying on the superiority of the ship's performance, a few shells, which were already much more accurate than their own fire, fell into the sea only five or six meters away from the hull!
At this moment, Mary, who was hidden in the middle cabin of the Mary, had just calmed down for less than a minute after experiencing a series of roars and violent shaking, when she suddenly heard the sounds of escape and screams coming from outside the door.
Then, there was a series of "bang bang" shooting!
"Guns, killings, who?"
The next moment, when the hatch where Mary was being violently shaken from the outside kept ringing, a thought instantly popped up: "Pirates have an internal response on the ship!"
"Bang bang!" the hatch shook and banged, and Mary took advantage of the fact that the other party had not broken through the door and ducked under the bed. But then they saw a huge gap between the bed and the floor, and if these people broke through the door, they would only have to bend down to see themselves.
He simply pulled the quilt on the bed under the bed, curled up in the quilt and remained motionless, even breathing as lightly as possible!
As soon as he was in hiding, he heard two gunshots outside the door, and then the door was kicked open, and the pirates entered!
At this time, Mary was so frightened that she held her breath directly, and the heartbeat of "Knock knock!" seemed to be beating violently in her ears.
Just as Mary was getting more and more nervous and about to collapse, a man's voice came from the bedside: "Let's go, this cabin is occupied by a certain co-captain, and it must be in the main control room now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another man's shout not far from the door: "Come and help! There's a big fish in a hat ahead! Catch up with me!"
When the man at the bedside heard his companion's shout, he immediately dropped the three pairs of hats that Mary had left beside the bed and ran out!
Although she escaped with her life, Mary still did not dare to relax in the slightest, until a minute or two had passed, and there was no movement outside, and she quietly opened a gap in the quilt.
The hatch is open, and there is no one left!
Slowly crawling out of the bed and standing up, the first thing Mary saw was blood on the walls and floors outside the hatch!
But when he thought of his father, whose life and death were uncertain, although he was afraid, his feet slowly moved out of the hatch.
Try to avoid the dark red blood that has spread all over the ground, and the eyes are full of all kinds of men and women who died on the spot!
The sight of a river of blood flowing from a severed limb made Mary, who had seen this tragic situation for the first time, feel weak under her feet, and hurriedly held on to the wall and retched!
But as soon as she had recovered her strength, she felt a slippery piece in her hands, and Mary immediately imagined what she had touched!
Trembling and raising her right hand against the wall in front of her eyes, the smell of sticky and fishy smell came to her nose, only this time Mary did not give up again! But this does not mean that she has the courage to face the tragedy, but when the fear is too intense, her brain has gone blank!
"Blood, blood, blood, blood!" Mary, who was close to madness, kept muttering and babbling!
Just on the verge of collapse, Mary suddenly remembered her father's safety again, and suddenly a spirit woke up from her stupor!
At this time, I didn't care if Mary, who would bump into the pirate in front of her, and her head was full of what her father had taught, spoiled, and played with in the past!
Passing over one corpse after another, the sound of footsteps gradually became more and more sticky from the crisp "Step, step, step!" at the beginning.
It wasn't until she saw the corpse in the corner of the wall not far away, which was already cold but still refused to close its eyes, that Mary threw herself into the corpse's arms and sobbed quietly.
The miserable little Jack was directly split with a sharp knife from the left chest to the right abdomen, and while the skin and flesh were turned out, the traces of the internal organs in the chest and abdomen could be clearly seen!
The traces of blood sliding all the way on the ground can prove that little Jack should have crawled from the pile of corpses seven or eight meters away to his current position before he died!
The only thing he can do before dying is to look at the closest intersection of his daughter's cabin and hope to see the child again before he dies!
After a few moments, Mary looked up from the corpse, and changed her previous sad and sad appearance, her eyes cold and a hint of dead gray.
After gently tightening her father's split clothes in half and barely wrapping the wound on her chest and abdomen again, Mary slowly got up and continued to walk forward!
This kind of behavior can only exist in the case of a great killer feature, and now Mary has nothing! Mary, who has entered a state of death, suddenly becomes unusually calm!
The other party has a gun, a sword, and he has nothing! If he is desperate, he is completely sending him to death!
But when Mary saw the sunlight reflected on the deck ahead, she stepped over again, picked up a lifebuoy on the outboard of the ship, grabbed the cable tied to the ring, and jumped down.
"Poof!"
More than twenty men were gathering on the top deck to count the number of people when they also heard Mary jumping into the sea, and hurriedly heard the sound and came to the side of the ship to look down.
I saw a lone lifebuoy floating on the sea, and there was nothing but a faint trace of blood!
