294 Pirate Town
Zhou Qing looked from the window outside the hotel, and saw a group of people gathered inside to eat, all of them were brightly dressed, only a few people wore white or yellow turban hoods on their heads, and the others were shirtless and shorts, revealing their dark bodies.

Judging from the decoration of this restaurant, it is quite clean, and the food and wine on these people's tables are really rich, and it is obvious that these people's usual lives are very nourishing because of their piracy profession.
Zhou Qing quietly released a wave of sleep techniques in the restaurant, and the people who were originally happily eating and drinking suddenly were like sleepy insects, and after a while, their eyelids fought, or lying on the table, or tilting their heads on the chair, and there was a thin black guy with a bright yellow hooded hat, and he directly paused half of his face on the big bowl of green soup in front of him, but he didn't sleep at all, and slept soundly.
Zhou Qing then dodged into the restaurant, the brightly lit room was silent at the moment, he quietly walked to the back kitchen, and found that no one else was moving, so he turned back to the dinner party that had fallen asleep.
Suddenly, he stared at it, and found that when these guys were eating, not only did some people have pistols pinned to their waists, but there were some AK47s neatly placed under the table, and there was even an RGP in it! Zhou Qing cursed secretly in his heart, these people seem to be accomplices of pirates, and the special environment here has also created these people to be basically lawless.
He confiscated all the weapons of these people, and he didn't even let go of the money on them, there was no way, the small door was small, there was a lack of money, and no matter how few flies there were, it was meat.
Then Zhou Qing used a spell to awaken a middle-aged man who looked the most confident and had a vague leadership temperament during the previous dinner.
The moment this innocent black man who was asleep opened his eyes, he changed from sluggish to hideous, he was like his waist, but his face immediately changed, and he looked down and saw that everyone else was sleeping soundly, and he immediately opened his mouth to shout.
Zhou Qing's confusion control spell that had already been brewed turned into a faint gray light, and it hit the other party's mouth impartially.
Psychic coercion is a special spell that combines fear, psychic coercion and psychic suggestion, although he is not a master of confusion control spells, but Zhou Qing can also master some basic related spells.
This spell minimizes the willpower of the caster and makes them very cowardly, and the caster's questions will be answered in 1510, as if he had been subjected to a great punishment.
Of course, this spell naturally has no effect on those strong people who have pure hearts and iron wills, but the middle-aged black man in front of him obviously does not belong to the first two, and under Zhou Qing's majestic gaze, his body suddenly trembled with fright.
Zhou Qing knew that although these people were mainly speaking Somali, English was also widely spoken, so he immediately asked the location of the port where the famous name was located some time ago, and the place where the crew of the cargo ship was held.
This middle-aged black man turned out to be a member of the Abadi pirate group, and had been a pirate at sea, but when he was injured once, he took a back seat and set up a restaurant dedicated to providing catering services for hostages, and the hotel itself was also used as a meeting place for ransom negotiations and hostage delivery. Therefore, he is no stranger to the internal affairs of pirates, and Zhou Qing is also secretly glad that he found a 'key person' as soon as he came up, saving himself a lot of trouble.
After carefully asking about the hostage holding place, as well as the specific location and characteristics of the warehouse where the goods were stacked on the freighter, Zhou Qing put the man down again with the sleep technique.
He restored his appearance, and the original infiltration plan was no longer needed, and he first went straight to the hostage hold.
According to the middle-aged man's confession, the Fame and the other hostages were being held in a small village five or six kilometers away from the town of Eyre, which had been completely converted into a cell for pirate groups, and there were car-friendly roads where the hostages' meals would be delivered daily. And when a negotiator or a ransom payer comes and wants to see the hostages, there will also be vehicles to pull the hostages out and let them go.
Zhou Qing soon came to this village, and the appearance of the prison was different from what he had imagined, there were no tall and sturdy walls, no barbed wire fence around it, and no strict sentry posts, but the gray outer walls were unobstructed, and there was no shelter. In a place like Somalia, once hijacked by pirates, ordinary seafarers can only obediently obey and have no desire to escape, because the Gulf of Aden in the north is full of these lawless pirates, while a large area in the south is a paradise for pirates, and there is no way to escape.
Zhou Qing walked into the prison incognito, only to see that the environment in the empty prison was bad, and the dozens of hostages looked a little embarrassed, and their eyes were gloomy, but they didn't see any traces of being abused and beaten, but everyone was a little thin, obviously here, the food could only maintain a basic amount, although they would not starve to death, but they would not be fed.
Outside the prison was a hall where the guards gathered, and there were only about seven or eight people, but everyone was giggling and laughing, looking at the hostages as if they were looking at a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Zhou Qing also knew the history of this place when he came to this place, in fact, these people can be called pitiful and hateful, under the global anti-terrorism action of the US imperialists, who claim to be the defenders of the world order, because they suspected that the Somali government at that time was sheltering and supporting terrorists, so they supported Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia, and then established a pro-American Somali government. It's just that the ability of this government is too poor, except for the capital, the rest of the place has naturally formed a scene of armed warlords, and someone with a gun can claim the king and hegemony, and the whole group of chaotic heroes is a drama.
In such a chaotic situation, in this already impoverished country, these troubled heroes naturally had to find a way to open up a way to make money in order to support their subordinates, so the ships of various countries that traveled to and from the Gulf of Aden became an inexhaustible wealth in their eyes.
Moreover, an ambitious person like Abadi not only lived a luxurious and luxurious life because of the ransom obtained by hijacking the ship, but also the local government officials and ordinary people, because of the pirates' investment in them, formed a very solid special regime. Under the weakness of the international joint piracy crackdown, the internal integration by pirates is like an iron plate, and naturally there is a rather ironic pirate king in modern society!
