Chapter 277 [Sea Stone Forest] (I)
Luo Hunt looked at the lonely gull bird, and saw the peace and tranquility in its gaze, and he had no intention of disturbing the peace of the gull, so he turned to the stern of the boat and walked in the direction away from the gull.
The moonlight shrouds the black ocean, the gentle night breeze blows the gentle waves, the undulating waves through the reflection of light and shadow will cover the sea with pieces of silver scales, looking from afar, the light and shadow flicker, flickering and disappearing, one after another, magnificent and psychedelic, like a carpet woven by light and shadow.
Compared with the fragile life of human beings, there are too many eternities in this world, the universe, the stars, the sea, light and shadow...... Luo Lie unconsciously fell into deep thought.
The gull's wings suddenly opened, then flapped twice at a faster rate, and suddenly rose into the night sky, and its high-speed flying body turned into a white light in the night sky. Luo Lie's eyes followed the white light, all the way to the distant sky, and suddenly his eyes widened, because he saw that there seemed to be a black spot between the sea and the sky.
Luo Lie couldn't be sure, he looked up and found the sailor on the watchtower, although the sailor was in charge of the lookout, but he didn't notice any movement here, Luo Lie reminded him to observe the anomaly he had just discovered.
The sailor lifted up his binoculars and looked into the distance, and after a moment he was sure that there were ships in the distance, and that there was more than one, but two ships in all.
During this season, fishing boats rarely go out to sea, and cargo ships are most often encountered, although pirate encounters cannot be ruled out.
The sailors immediately informed the captain of the discovery, and their ship began to speed up for safety reasons.
Shortly after the captain gave the order to speed up, the two ships that followed them also began to speed up. This situation suggests that they were clearly the target of the two ships.
Luo Lie did not alarm the others, and after discussing with the captain, they decided to continue to move forward according to the established route, after all, there was still a considerable distance between the ships behind them and them, and the other party should not be able to catch up with them before dawn. There is not much point in alarming your own personnel too early, it is better to let them sleep well and keep enough energy to prepare for the battle that may come.
The acceleration of the speed of the ship still made some people perceive, Lu Weilin was one of them, he was already prone to seasickness, the acceleration of the speed of the ship made the ship bump aggravated, Lu Weilin rushed out of the cabin, grabbed the railing with both hands, and vomited into the sea.
It wasn't until all the things in his stomach were vomited out and he vomited sour water that Lu Weilin felt better, but the dizziness was still there.
Someone handed him a handkerchief, Lu Weilin opened his eyes, only to find that Luo Lie had come to his side, he took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, grinning and revealing a wry smile: "The world is spinning." β
Luo Lie said: "Can you still aim?"
Lu Weilin said: "It depends on how big the target is. "He didn't know there was any news of the tail of the ship yet.
Luo Lie said: "Recover as soon as possible, there may be a fierce battle tomorrow morning at the latest." β
Lu Weilin was stunned for a moment, and then realized the severity of the situation. Holding on to the railing and looking around, he saw the black ocean, the white foam raised by the waves, and immediately felt a dizziness, and he quickly closed his eyes.
Luo Lie said: "There are two ships following behind us. β
Lu Weilin closed his eyes and said, "How far is it?"
Luo Lie said: "Visually inspect about three nautical miles, but their travel speed is about the same as ours." β
Lu Weilin nodded, there are two possibilities, one is that the other party's ships are traveling at the same speed as them, and the other is that the other party is deliberately preserving their strength and not launching a full-speed pursuit. After feeling a little better, Lu Weilin said: "Which link went wrong?" Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong had already made detailed arrangements before, and even they didn't know about the replacement of the ship's sailors, could it be that the news was leaked?
Luo Lie remembered the group of local bullies he had met in the port who had been commissioned by the Kaishan Gang to come to find trouble, could it be them?
Lu Weilin reminded Luo Lie: "Don't forget Lao An. β
When the two were talking, two figures in the distance came over, and they really said that Cao Cao Cao was there, one of them was Lao An, and the other was naturally a blind man who followed him like a shadow. The blind man's small eyes sparkled in the dark night, and the darker it was, the clearer he could see.
The blind man shouted, "What's the matter? Such a big movement?" Although Luo Lie reminded the crowd that they did not need to wake them up now, the ship suddenly accelerated, and now it was moving at full speed, causing turbulence was inevitable, and few people could not be unaware of such a situation.
Luo Lie told them about the situation, the blind man took out the binoculars and observed the ships that pursued them, even if others used the binoculars, they could only see the outline of the tracking ship, but the blind man could see the details, he adjusted the binoculars, the two ships in his field of vision began to become clear, the blind man saw the flag fluttering on the mast of the ship, the black flag was embroidered with a green dragon with teeth and claws, and the blind man told the other companions everything he saw.
Lao An, who had not spoken, said: "Sea Dragon Gang, they are pirates!"
Everyone turned their attention to Lao An at the same time, in fact, Luo Hunt also collected a lot of information before going to sea, he knew that there were pirates in the waters in this area in the past, the Sea Dragon Gang was one of the most powerful ones, their activities were most rampant in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, after the establishment of the Republic of China government, this route has had several major robberies, so it has attracted the attention of many parties, the Republic of China and the Japanese side have joined forces to carry out a clean-up operation in this area, in order to avoid the edge, several pirate forces entrenched in this sea area in the past had to choose to temporarily avoid the edge, they moved their base camp to the southγ
It can be said that there have been no pirate hijackings on this route in the past three years, so the possibility of Luo Hunt encountering pirates is almost negligible, but no matter how small the possibility is once they encounter it, it will become a 100% probability.
The blind man stared at Lao An and said, "Your people?"
Lao An snorted coldly and said, "What am I looking for pirates for?" I think we should prepare early, the Sea Dragon Gang is famous for its three lights, killing, burning, and robbing everything! And ......" He paused and said: "As far as I know, once they are dispatched, they must have at least three ships, they are not only outnumbered but also well-armed." β
Zhang Longbow's loud voice sounded: "Don't grow others' morale to destroy your own prestige!"
Lao An said: "You love to believe it or not. β
Ye Qinghong was the last to come out of the cabin, in fact, she had already woken up, but she didn't come outside for the first time.
Ye Qinghong came to Luo Lie's side and quietly returned his coat to him, and Luo Lie took the coat and put it on. Ye Qinghong said: "Have you met a pirate?"
Luo Lie nodded, and Ye Qinghong asked for the telescope and walked towards the stern.
The blind man came to Luo Lie's side, and the blind man said, "What should I do?"
Lu Weilin said: "The captain said that the best way is to go full speed and try to get rid of them. β
Zhang Changgong agreed with Lu Weilin's approach, but he still remembered what Lao An said just now, and said in a low voice: "What if they have other reinforcements?"
Luo Lie raised his eyes and looked ahead, and found that Lao An's figure had disappeared, although the blind man talked to them, he was always paying attention to Lao An's movements, and pointed to the cabin, Lao An had gone back just now.
Luo Lie came to the cabin where Lao An was, knocked on the door, and soon heard Lao An's voice inside: "The door is not locked!"
Luo Lie pushed the door and walked in, and saw Lao An sitting alone at a small table, looking at a nautical chart in the dim light. Even when Luo Lie walked into the room, Lao An didn't look up at him, still looking at the navigation chart intently.
Luo Lie took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette from it and handed it over.
Lao An said coldly: "No." β
He didn't smoke, and Luo Lie was embarrassed to smoke, so he sat down on the stool opposite Lao An and smiled: "Amber!"
Lao An said: "Mr. Luo is polite, I am just a subordinate, I can't afford to call me that." β
Luo Lie said straight to the point: "I came to you to hear your opinion. β
Lao An asked rhetorically, "Does Mr. Luo believe me?"
Luo Lie said: "Everyone is in the same boat, and they should be in the same boat." β
Lao An said: "Mr. Luo still hasn't answered my question. β
Luo Lie said: "Amber is an understanding person, and it is pointless to discuss this kind of issue now. β
Lao An nodded: "Not bad!" He spread the navigation chart in his hand on the table: "According to the common methods of the Sea Dragon Gang, these two ships are responsible for tracking and cutting off the back route. β
Luo Lie nodded, they were going to adopt this method.
Lao An said: "The reason why the Sea Dragon Gang was able to dominate for a while is not only because they are well-armed and fierce, but also because their ships are extremely fast. Although I didn't know much about the ship we were on, I knew that if the two ships behind pursued us at full speed, we would not be able to escape. β
Luo Lie said: "Then why didn't they launch a full-speed pursuit?"
Lao An said: "It's not time, according to the robbery information of the Sea Dragon Gang, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion, they never attack at night, and most of the robberies occur at dawn. β
Luo Lie looked at the time, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and it was estimated that it would be dawn in less than three hours, which meant that those pirates would launch a final attack.
Lao An pointed to the navigation chart with his finger: "We are currently in this place, at dawn, we will come here at most, this area is all open sea, so it is convenient for them to start a siege." β
Luo Lie said, "You mean there will be other ships to join?"
Lao An nodded, and said with an extremely determined expression: "There will definitely be." As far as he knew, the Sea Dragon Gang went to sea to rob three ships, and these two ships, in a flanking situation, were clearly trying to drive them to the established sea area.
Luo Lie observed the navigation chart and said in a low voice, "What if we change direction?"
