Chapter 3: Vampire Bats
Ghost fleet? The name sounds pretty scary, let alone seen with your own eyes.
The sea in front of you is full of such ghost ships. The sea ahead is blocked, and we simply can't move forward. Only then did I realize that our ship had entered an area of strait topography, with mountains on both sides. It would be unrealistic to take a step back and take a detour. According to the nautical drawings, this strait is the only way forward.
It seems that my observation is still not enough, and I only care about the way out, but I neglect the terrain around this escape route. Just as he was looking for something to eat in the cabin, his attention was drawn to the copper chest full of treasure.
At this point, we have no way to advance or retreat. It could have been abandoned and landed on the hill next to it. However, after all, sailing is not like being on land, and you have to think about the way back. It's okay to land and climb the mountain, but how to get through this sea area is the key.
While I was thinking about it, Dickens said, "It seems that the only way to do it is to bite the bullet." If there is nothing on these ghost ships, it would be fine; If there is, it must be a deeply resentful ghost! Everyone is on high alert at all times and ready for any unexpected situation. Now, please load and unbolt all your firearms and weapons. One is that there is something wrong, or something dirty, just shoot. Don't worry about legal liability, we are in legitimate defense. ”
Hearing Dickens say this, everyone's spirits were lifted. Looking at his stern expression again, you can see that this matter is not trivial. So a few of us were armed to the teeth, and we were loaded with all the essentials like ammunition and grenades.
Seeing that everyone was carrying bullets and guns, I thought I should take something else. I carried the AK-47 diagonally behind the right side of my body, because I still carried my waterproof backpack on my back. Two more ** (automatic pistols) were pinned to his waist, as well as four grenades. Stick a Swiss Army knife in your trouser leg and add a few magazines.
Finally, carry the propane jar diagonally behind the left with the propane injector in your hand. I thought to myself, whether you are an evil ghost or a wronged soul, you are afraid of open fire. As long as you dare to come out, I will burn you to "ashes"!
As a result, the weight on the body suddenly increased. I finally understand a truth now, that is, the meaning of the phrase "a soldier is not a soldier, not a soldier, and he has forty pounds on his body".
At first, I didn't understand why I had to carry so many things on my body when I was already working hard enough to stretch (long walks). Isn't this a search for sin? Now I understand, that's the basic training of the physique. When you go to war, you have to bring weapons. If the body can't keep up, then you will only end up eating bullets.
Fortunately, several of us have practiced taekwondo, and our body is not bad. Otherwise, these things will be pressed on the body, and they will have to be pressed down. If I can go back safely this time, I have decided to strengthen my training in all aspects. It is necessary to make one's body one level higher and strive to go to the next level.
Look at the old ghosts and Dickens around them, they are all full of bullets and instruments. Only Duoduo and Lisa are slightly less, after all, they are girls. But compared to the average girl of the same age, it is already incredible.
Seeing that Duoduo was a little rusty and struggling to load the magazine on his waist, he stepped forward to tidy it up for her. And tell her how to take the magazine, how to load the gun, and how to return the magazine, as well as some precautions for firing and concealing. After all, for her, playing with guns is still a novice.
Duoduo is also talented and intelligent, and he will be able to learn it. When I think of the previous few times, I was all by mistake. If you don't hurt yourself and your own people, you are already Amitabha.
Lisa is relatively much more familiar than Duoduo. After all, I've taught her before, and she's been through it a few times. But seeing that I was explaining a lot, I listened carefully, and it was all a review. In the end, seeing that I had finished explaining to Duoduo, he said to me, "Fang Yu, you can also help me get it." With so many things on his body, it's too awkward to move. ”
I reached out to Lisa to help tidy it up and checked her firearms for her. At the critical moment, there is a phenomenon of jamming. When I was tidying up, I heard Lisa smile and say to Duoduo, "Duoduo, borrow your Fang Yu, don't mind?" ”
Duoduo hurriedly said, "What are you talking about?" Just take it and use it well! ”
"That's good, I won't pay it back if I borrow it!" Lisa said.
"What do you two think of me? Borrowed and borrowed. As soon as I heard this, I quickly interrupted. Duoduo originally wanted to say something, but when I said this, he kept silent.
"Hehe, just kidding, what are you doing so seriously?" Lisa said with a smile.
At this time, the old ghost was almost tidy up. When I heard that there was talk and laughter on our side, I also wanted to come over and plug in a stick.
Duoduo saw the old ghost coming this way, so he said to Lisa, "Oh, your spare tire is here." If you don't need to put it ready-made, you have to grab it from me. ”
"I'll rob you! Grab it. Lisa smiled and said, "Yo, our Miss Duoduo is jealous!" ”
"you!" Duoduo said.
I watched the two of them talk like this, as if they were talking like this, and suddenly I felt that I couldn't interject for a while. As soon as the old ghost saw that he was carrying so many things, he said, ", boss, look at your movements, you are going to destroy its whole family!" ”
I smiled and nodded, but didn't speak.
"Why didn't I crush you?" After the old ghost finished speaking to me, he quickly took over the stubble just now and said, "Who is jealous?" Are you eating my vinegar? ”
Duoduo hurriedly said, "Yes, it's Lisa who is eating your jealousy!" ”
"Ahh Lisa didn't let the old ghost speak, so she said, "Who eats his jealousy?" No one will eat him. Besides, does he have vinegar? ”
"Well, I say......" The old ghost was just about to speak, when he heard Dickens calling us.
A few of us stopped arguing, and hurriedly walked to Dickens to meet him.
Dickens said, "Guys, it's still like I just said: shoot at once if you encounter any situation!" ”
We all nodded knowingly, and listened to Dickens continue.
"Let me make a simple arrangement: I'll speed the boat to the lowest speed, and you two will stand on deck, one on each side. Use a long bamboo pole or a pole to slowly stretch the ghost boat in front of you open. Make sure we don't let our ship hit those ghost ships. After he finished speaking, the old ghost and I nodded and said that we were ordered.
After Dickens finished speaking, he said to Duoduo and Lisa, "You two, also one on the other, are responsible for covering their safety. Be sure to keep your eyes quick and calm to make sure you don't miss anything. ”
Duoduo and Lisa also nodded their heads in agreement, and Dickens continued, "I'll take care of the boat and cover the four of you." ”
After saying that, everyone shook their spirits and began to act.
The old ghost and I didn't find any pennies, but we were lucky enough to find two pieces that were about 4 meters long and resembled metal steel pipes. This thing is much better than a penny, long enough but not very heavy. Sturdy and light, it couldn't be better than a penny.
We were divided into two groups: me and Duoduo on the right, and Ghost and Lisa on the left. We stood still, and turned back to signal that Dickens could sail. Dickens nodded in agreement, immediately started his engine, and set the ship aboard.
The ship was moving slowly, and all of us were focused to the twelve.
First of all, on my side, a ghost ship appeared. Before our ship could get closer, I stretched out my pole and pushed the ghost ship away. Duoduo vigilantly covered me with a gun, and watched the ghost ship pass us before he let his guard down slightly.
Originally, if there were only one side of the boat, Dickens could have taken a detour. But there was no way to give way, and a ghost ship also appeared on the old ghost's side. He and Lisa, too, worked together perfectly to push the boat away.
Looking ahead along the searchlight, there were many ghost ships in front of me. As soon as the two ships passed, two more appeared in front of them at the same time. One of them, closer to my side, was almost in front of our ship. When Dickens saw this, he quickly turned around, trying to get through the gap between the two ships.
In this way, the distance between the left and right sides is even. The old ghost and I exerted our strength at the same time, trying to push the boats on both sides away. But we suddenly found that the masts of these two ghost ships were densely packed with countless bright spots. If you look closely, it's a few bats that are not small.
The four of us were a little startled, but we weren't too scared. Although these bats are not small, they are much smaller than the "Golden-crowned Flying Fox" in the Savannah Caves. I didn't take it seriously, and stretched out the long pole to support the two boats.
As soon as we touched the ghost ship, we immediately heard a low roar, and all the bats above us were alarmed, and they immediately flew towards us!
I was shocked, this is unreasonable! It is said that most birds are frightened at night and run away in a hurry. But these bats came straight to our door.
The old ghost yelled, "This is a bat, why did you suddenly attack someone?" ”
Duoduo and Lisa were originally in charge of covering, and when they saw this formation, they took the lead in shooting. Raising the gun against this black oppressive piece, it was a burst of crazy strafing. Suddenly, the bats "crackled" and fell. Some fell directly into the sea, while others fell on the deck of the ship. The bats that landed on the deck only smashed the deck of the ship with a "bang" sound. They were still dying, their mouths open to show their long fangs.
That's when I realized that it was a bunch of vampire bats! No wonder they are so aggressive, coming straight for our doors and necks.
The old ghost and I reacted instinctively, so naturally we didn't sit idly by. The old ghost dropped the long pole and raised the gun to shoot. I lifted the propane ejector and circled the blood-sucking ghost bats with fire.
