Chapter 277 [Sea Stone Forest] (II)
Lao An said: "Even if we turn back, these two ships are enough to destroy us, and their ships should be equipped with artillery." ”
Luo Lie secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, although he made an estimate of the possibility of encountering pirates at sea, but in his previous estimate, the possibility of encountering pirates was very small, this danger was far less than the storm at sea, and what he didn't expect was that they had only left Zhoushan not long ago, according to the information obtained before, the Sea Dragon Gang, which had dominated for a while, moved to the South China Sea in order to avoid purging.
Luo Lie pointed to the navigation chart and said, "Where are we going here?"
Lao An said: "There is a sea stone forest, and it is also known as a ghost stone forest, with many reefs and reefs, even experienced fishermen dare not easily break in." ”
Luo Lie said: "I don't think it's far, if we head towards this sea area, we should be able to enter it before dawn." ”
Lao An understood what he meant, this reef forest was dangerous to them, and it was the same for pirates, Luo Hunt wanted to use this special dangerous terrain to get rid of the pirates' pursuit. He whispered, "But for now, it's a solution." ”
Luo Lie nodded, and immediately summoned several companions and the captain together to ask for their opinions.
When the captain heard that Luo Hunt was going to bravely enter the Sea Stone Forest, he was immediately frightened, and his head shook like a rattle: "No way, there are reefs everywhere, I have never entered the Sea Stone Forest before, and I have never heard of anyone entering there and leaving unharmed." ”
Luo Lie said: "The ships of the Sea Dragon Gang are faster than us, if we start a chase on the sea, we have no possibility of getting rid of them at all, and their ships are equipped with artillery. ”
The captain said: "We also have weapons ......" In his opinion, even if he fights hard with the other party, the chance of survival is better than breaking into that reef forest. The captain was a man carefully selected by Weng Kwok-hsien, who according to him was experienced and absolutely trustworthy, and he was not deliberately prevaricating, but everyone had their own judgment on the risks in their minds.
Lu Weilin said: "Just rely on our two Makqin?
The captain pursed his lips and said, "But that sea stone forest is too dangerous, I don't even have a detailed chart, if we break into it like this, we will inevitably run aground, and then we will be even more troubled?" After speaking, he added: "We are only an hour's voyage away from the sea stone forest, and it is not dawn until we get there." "Even if you break into the Sea Stone Forest in broad daylight, you can't guarantee avoiding the reef beneath the surface, let alone at night.
Lao An suddenly said: "If you can trust me, I will take the helm!"
Everyone was stunned, they all knew that Lao An was a cronie sent by Bai Yunfei, but no one knew that Lao An also knew how to drive a boat.
Even for Luo Lie, this is a great adventure, letting Lao An drive the boat is equivalent to putting everyone's lives in his hands, if Lao An has bad intentions, I am afraid that their group of people will die before they can get out of the army.
Luo Lie nodded and said, "No problem!" Since they are in the same boat, they can only help each other in this situation, and I believe that Lao An is also because there is no better choice.
Zhang Changbow said: "The captain and I will help you." ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lao An's lips, of course he knew that Zhang Changgong's original intention was not to help himself, but to spy on himself, so he nodded and said, "Whatever you want!"
Luo Lie asked the blind man to climb the mast to be responsible for the lookout, he did not entrust Lu Weilin with a heavy responsibility, Lu Weilin was in very poor physical condition because of seasickness, his steps were vain, and he seemed to be unable to stand steadily, but he was afraid that he would not even be able to hold a gun.
Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong came to the stern, and the two of them used binoculars to observe the two boats behind them, and at this moment, the two boats were obviously close to them. Lao An was not wrong, the ships of the Sea Dragon Gang were faster than them, and if they were chased on the sea, they would not be able to get rid of it smoothly.
The ships began to turn, and the two boats in the rear quickly noticed their change, and the two ships separated by some distance, constantly increasing their speed.
Ye Qinghong put down the binoculars and whispered, "Do you really believe him?"
Although Lao An's name was not mentioned, Luo Lie knew that Ye Qinghong was talking about him, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have a choice?"
Ye Qinghong said: "Maybe he colluded with pirates." ”
Luo Lie narrowed his eyes, what Ye Qinghong said was possible, but he had already assessed several possibilities in his heart, the possibility of Lao An colluding with the pirates was very small, but it was very likely that there were pirates' internal response on their ship.
Lao An is only in charge of commanding, and the actual operation of the ship is still completed by the captain himself, and the speed of the ship has reached its maximum.
Lu Weilin didn't take long to get out of the cabin, the ship was running at high speed, but unfortunately the wind picked up again at this time, the ship became more and more bumpy, and Lu Weilin, who was already seasick, was even more uncomfortable, he stumbled to the deck, held on to the railing and began to vomit, but unfortunately there was nothing in his stomach to vomit.
Retched a few times, inhaled hard, and suddenly a black figure flashed in his mind, he thought that he was an illusion caused by seasickness, but his intuition told him that it was not an illusion, Lu Weilin did not look back, and lay on the railing again, vomiting.
At this moment, two black shadows rushed out from behind him, both of them were sailors on the ship, and their goal was extremely clear, that is, to launch a surprise attack when he landed Weilin seasick, intending to lift him directly into the sea.
When the two were about to grab Lu Weilin's arms, a black hole muzzle emerged from under Lu Weilin's left armpit, and with a gunshot, the bullet hit one person's thigh, and the man fell to the ground with a scream.
The other person raised the dagger in his hand and inserted it into Lu Weilin's heart, Lu Weilin began to accumulate strength after noticing the movement behind him, he lay on the ground sideways, if he could have chosen a more chic and calm action to deal with such a situation in normal times, but the seasickness had exhausted most of his body's energy, his choice was to lie on the ground, only in this way could his body reach the deck to the greatest extent.
Lu Weilin held the wrist of his right hand with his left hand, aimed at the cold light that stabbed him, pulled the trigger one after another, the first shot shot the dagger away, and the second shot hit the forehead of the sneak attacker.
The opponent's burly body collapsed like a hill and slammed down on the deck.
The sailor who was the first to be injured endured the pain in his thigh and wanted to take out the pistol on his waist, but he heard Lu Weilin's weak voice say: "Be honest, bullets don't have long eyes......"
Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong, who heard the gunshot, rushed over as soon as possible, Luo Lie was worried that Lu Weilin's safety was threatened, so he raised his hand and shot out a flying knife, the flying knife hit the sailor's right hand, and nailed it deep into the deck through his palm, and the sailor suffered heavy injuries one after another, screaming in pain.
Ye Qinghong rushed up and kicked the sailor in the chest, kicked him to the deck, and drew his pistol and aimed it at his face.
Luo Lie wanted to help Lu Weilin up, but Lu Weilin shook his head, raised his right hand and wiped his mouth and said, "I'm fine, these two bastards actually want to sneak attack me." ”
Luo Lie observed left and right, and at this time, several people heard the movement and gathered around, and the blind man yelled from the lookout platform above: "Give me all retreat, who dares to move, Lao Tzu shot him down!" The blind man picked up a rifle and aimed at the crowd below, it is difficult to say whether there are pirate accomplices among this group of sailors under the current situation of uncertainty.
Zhang Changgong also rushed out of the cockpit, and said angrily: "Go back, keep your respective posts, and give me all back!"
Several people joined forces to quickly control the scene, and the sailors who had just gathered dispersed silently, Luo Lie looked up in the direction of the lookout, and then gave a thumbs up to the blind man.
The blind man smiled and said, "You're welcome!"
Lu Weilin said: "His marksmanship, I'm really worried that he will shoot bullets on my body......"
Luo Lie glanced at Zhang Longbow, Zhang Changgong understood what he meant, and turned around and walked towards the cockpit, compared to the sudden situation here, the cockpit is the most important thing, if the cockpit also changes, I am afraid that the situation will become difficult to manage.
Ye Qinghong looked at the sailor coldly, she was sure that the dead sailor and the injured sailor were all members of their hired staff, so it was not difficult to conclude that the appearance of the pirates was still because of their internal problems, although she believed in Weng Guoxian, but everything had accidents, Weng Guoxian was still negligent in the process of arranging the ship to hire sailors, and let gangsters with ulterior motives get mixed up with the ship. It seems that they have been targeted by pirates since they went to sea, and pirates should know their routes well.
Ye Qinghong pressed the muzzle of the gun against the sailor's forehead: "Say, who sent you?"
The sailor said, "You can't escape, this is the territory of the Sea Dragon Gang!"
Luo Lie walked over slowly: "You only need to find out one fact, your life is in our hands, I can let you live, but you need to explain the other accomplices on the ship." ”
The sailor laughed, "When I was a child, you all have to die...... All of them are going to die......"
Luo Lie stared at his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You are not here to make money? Who are you entrusted by?" After he and Ye Qinghong agreed to change ships in Zhoushan, he specially told Ye Qinghong that he must keep a low profile, and must not expose his wealth, so as not to attract pirates to covet it, it can be said that there is no wealth worth robbing on this ship, they encountered pirates soon after they went to sea, on the surface it was an accidental event, but after a little pondering about this matter, it is very unusual.
It is not at all reasonable for pirates to rob a ship like them, disguised as a fishing boat. If it's not for money, it's for life.
The sailor shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just know that I will get a good reward for killing you......," his words confirmed Luo Lie's guess.
The blind man on the lookout reminded loudly: "I have seen the reef, and in front of me it should be the sea stone forest you are talking about!"
