Chapter 18: Escape from the Night Sea

Savoring the words of the second fat pair, my heart sank more and more. At this time, the sea breeze was still very strong, and Tie Jun pointed in two directions in the distance, let us see.

There was a black rumbling where I couldn't make out anything, but Iron Army emphasized that the chasing pirate ship was there.

In the other direction, the whole sky looked a little red, even flashing. I was frightened by this phenomenon, and my big mouth even said, "What is this, earthquake light?" ”

Earthquakes are only a sign before a major earthquake, and I said in my heart that we should not be hit by big mouths, in that case, we are at sea, will not cause a large-scale tsunami?

The fat second mate said that it was not that serious, but he emphasized, "It's a hurricane coming, and it's red and bright there, and it's probably accompanied by a tornado at sea." ”

I was dizzy and weak-eyed, and I said that a tornado was not much worse than a tsunami.

Looking at it this way, the situation is really serious, and to put it bluntly, we have to escape from two groups of "enemies", one is piracy, and the other is natural disasters.

I don't have any bottom. But Tie Jun emphasized to us again, "It's easy to talk about our internal affairs, first spearhead the same external situation, and overcome the catastrophe in the past." ”

Big Mouth and I understand the truth here, and Babyface is not stupid either.

Sometimes people are so strange, and in the face of common interests, we immediately become friendly.

The fat second mate became the commander again, after all, he was strong in sailing and sailing. He gave us four divisions, the baby face went to sail, and we hurried to the boiler room, took over the current sailors, and intensified the burning of coal.

We answered and got into action. We knew where the boiler room was, so we just rushed straight over.

In the current boiler room, in addition to the two emaciated sailors, there are several corpses of stowaways. When I saw the corpses, I knew they had been poisoned just by the crazy expressions on their faces before they died.

The more awkward the meeting, but we put aside the topic and let the two sailors withdraw first, and we will take up the posts.

Tie Jun and Dazui were holding a shovel and aimed at the boiler to send coal into it, and I took advantage of the time to close the door of the boiler room, and then took off all the shoes of the stowaway's corpse by the dim kerosene lamp.

These people didn't hurt their feet, which gave me an idea, and then I joined the ranks of the Iron Army and Big Mouth.

We delivered coal for at least half an hour. Suddenly, there was a thud outside the boiler room.

I listened to it for a moment, and my heart said, Could it be that the White Shark was shot? But if I take a closer look, I don't feel like it, after all, if the hull is shot, I am in the boiler room, and I must have other feelings.

We stopped burning coal and ran out together.

I looked around and was stunned for a moment. We are closer to the hurricane zone than before, and even the White Shark is running at full speed to this "disaster zone". And in the stern direction, I faintly saw a dark shadow.

It must have been a behemoth, a few miles away from us, and when I analyzed the bang, it must have been this black shadow, a cannonball fired by a chasing pirate ship, which missed us, but fell to the surface of the sea and exploded.

All I wanted for a while was to go back to burning coal as soon as possible and try to add more energy. But I also understand that I am lying to myself.

We've worked hard enough for half an hour, and now our tired hands are shaking a little, and the boiler is also buzzing, how can we add another strength?

Tie Jun didn't mean to go back to the boiler room at all, he didn't know what he was thinking in his head, and finally he made up his mind and said to the two of us, "I'll go get something, you go to the operation cabin and wait for me first." ”

I'm confused, but it's an order, and I have to listen to both Big Mouth. We ran all the way over, and met two sailors on the way, and I lied that the second mate was looking for us, and told them to go to the boiler room to top us.

When I came to the operation cabin, I found that the fat second mate was also there, and he was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot.

When he saw the two of us, he was stunned at first, and then with anger, he yelled at us and said, "What are you doing here? Don't you know that the White Shark is in dire need of power right now? ”

Big Mouth and I didn't explain anything, and we couldn't explain it either.

The fat second mate took out the posture of a sour-faced monkey, and scolded us again. At this time, the Iron Army appeared with a sniper rifle.

The fat second mate looked at Tie Jun very sensitively and asked what was the situation?

Tie Jun took down the sniper rifle and told the fat second mate his thoughts again. Now, it is not possible to simply escape. Find a way to get in the way of the pirate ship.

The fat second mate was the same as me and Big Mouth, and after listening to it, he looked at Tie Jun's sniper rifle together.

This sniper rifle should be kept by the fat second officer, and it is estimated that the Iron Army played some tricks before to steal it.

Tie Jun didn't explain much, and while leading the two of us to a window, he asked the fat second mate, "How far is the pirate ship from us?" ”

The fat second mate replied, saying that according to the radar, it was less than a nautical mile, and the pirate ship was testing its guns just now, and once the distance between the two ships was closer, the next shell would definitely hit the White Shark.

Tie Jun replied coldly, and during this time he set up his sniper rifle, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the pirate ship in the distance outside the window.

The windows here don't open, they're completely closed, and Big Mouth and I hurried for hammers, sticks, and the like to smash a small hole in the glass in front of the sniper rifle.

Tie Jun looked into the distance through the sniper scope, and from time to time, he slightly adjusted the angle of the sniper rifle.

I'm very confident in the Iron Army's gun skills, and neither I nor Big Mouth have ever used a sniper rifle, or even been a sightman, so I can't help the Iron Army.

The two of us stood silently beside us. The fat second mate is about the same as us.

Tie Jun finally sighed, saying that the distance was still too far. He said a very bold idea to the fat second mate, asking him to command the sailors and stop the White Shark.

The look on the look on the face of the fat second mate tells us that he doesn't want to take such a risk. But I persuaded Big Mouth a few words, especially Big Mouth, and took out a flickering and scared posture.

The fat second mate finally compromised. Within a minute, the White Shark was completely grounded, and it was drifting on the surface of the sea by inertia.

All of us gathered around the Iron Army, but no one bothered him.

Tie Jun waited for a while, and suddenly, he shouted yes, and decisively pulled the trigger. I knew the sniper rifle was loud and I was mentally prepared, but I didn't expect it to be so loud.

Stimulated by the bang, my eyes darkened slightly. As for the fat second mate, not to mention, plus his original psychological pressure was not small, he was stimulated by the gunshot, his eyes rolled up, and he fell to the ground sideways.

Big Mouth and I quickly grabbed him.

The fat second mate climbed up on his own at this time, and muttered in his mouth, "It's too ruthless, what kind of guns are these?" ”

But before he could stand up straight, Tie Jun pulled the trigger again, and this time fired three shots in succession.

I couldn't stand the pain in my big mouth ears, and we didn't care about the fat second mate, let go together, and let him fall to the ground again, and we both rubbed our ears.

The four shots of the Iron Army not only tortured us, but the pirate ship in the distance also suffered a lot of trauma. At least after four shots, the speed of the pirate ship slowed down.

The current state of the fat second mate can't command the sailors at all. The Iron Army simply passed him and gave the order, telling the sailors to set sail quickly and let the White Shark escape at full speed.

I took advantage of the time to ask Tie Jun, "Who did those four shots kill just now?" ”

"One helmsman, three gunners, that pirate ship is no different from a toothless tiger." ”

Big Mouth and I both praised the Iron Army for being powerful. I originally thought that we would go back to the boiler room to burn coal, but then I thought that these second-class sailors could not do without us, especially the Iron Army.

We didn't leave.

Then the fat second mate's body eased up a lot, and he struggled to stand up. Tie Jun exchanged opinions with him. I listened with Big Mouth.

I don't understand why the White Shark is rushing towards the hurricane area. But the fat second mate explained to us his previous plan, saying that the hurricane would get bigger and bigger, and even his whereabouts would be very unstable. At first glance, the White Shark's current route is no different from seeking death, but it is actually a shortcut to avoid a hurricane.

As long as we pass by the hurricane before it is completely formed, we can pass it closely, and once the course is correct, we can be unscathed. In addition, if the White Shark goes like this, it will also make the pursuers beat the drum in their hearts, and even abandon us halfway.

From this aspect alone, the fat second mate is also quite smart.

We didn't talk much, and while observing the situation on the sea around us, we let the White Shark sail at full strength.

I looked at the clock in the operation cabin, and after a quarter of an hour, the fat second officer commanded the helmsman to adjust the course slightly. Big Mouth and I have never learned the idea of sailing in our lives, so we are not interested in the actions of the fat second mate. Tie Jun leaned over and listened.

The White Shark made a big bend little by little, and the fat second officer's plan was feasible, but without warning, the radar of the operation compartment responded, indicating that two bright spots appeared in the side direction of our ship.

These two bright spots are not far from us, and Big Mouth and I were the first to notice this anomaly, and I also yelled at the fat second mate and Tie Jun to warn them.

After the two of them rushed over, the fat second mate looked in that direction through the window again. He looked puzzled, saying that there was nothing in that direction, and what was this bright spot?

I was guessing, and I thought of a possibility and asked him, "Could it be a whale?" ”

The fat second officer shook his head and said that this radar could not catch the movement of the whale. I was also completely confused, and by the way, I remembered a story told by someone else.

When there is a hurricane or tsunami at sea, there is often a ghost ship, which acts like a seduction carriage to harvest the souls of the victims.

Originally, I didn't believe in this story, but now that I encounter this kind of evil incident, I can't help but think about it.

During this period, Tie Jun and Big Mouth didn't say anything. It didn't take long for the radar to change again, and from the two bright spots in the distance, two new bright spots appeared, and the new bright spots were moving very fast and coming towards us.

My eyes widened in disbelief, but Tie Jun reacted at once, and he shouted, "We've met the submarine." The other side is launching missiles against us. ”
