Chapter 278 [Sniper at Sea] (I)

Luo Lie asked the blind man to tie himself up firmly, and soon they would be in the reef-strewn forest, where the ship would inevitably be bumpy and bumpy, and it was likely that they would be thrown out of the boat from the lookout.

The captain ordered the sailors to lower the sails to avoid deviations in the control of the ship due to the influence of the wind.

The captain came up to the dead sailor, stared at his gray face, and said, "He has been following me for two years. ”

Luo Lie said: "There is one more." He gestured to the sailor who had been tied with his hands tied by his back-cutting hands.

The captain said, "I don't know anything about it. ”

Luo Lie said: "Let's get through this crisis." He was skeptical of the captain's words.

Ye Qinghong came back after checking the weapons, she whispered a few words to Luo Lie, Luo Lie's heart became heavy after listening to her, the cabin where they stored weapons was damaged, the explosives were soaked in water, and the two machine guns were also damaged and could not be used, but fortunately, most of the conventional weapons had not been destroyed.

Lu Weilin sat on the deck and slowly wiped his gun, after encountering a crisis, it may be that his attention has been diverted, and his symptoms of seasickness have actually begun to reduce, and Lu Weilin is preparing.

Lao An has been at the helm himself, through the window in front of him, he saw a large castle-like reef forest emerging on the sea, in the dark night, the sea water swooped towards the castle composed of reefs, the waves crashed on the hard reef and became shattered, white water foam flew all over the sky, and when the waves crashed, there was a low roar like a beast, and the sound kept echoing in the reef forest.

Although Zhang Longbow is accustomed to seeing danger, but the scene in front of him is the first time he has experienced, since he grew up in the mountains and forests, he has an inexplicable fear of the ocean, he would rather die on the battlefield than drown in the dark and cold depths of the ocean.

Lao An's expression did not change, and he skillfully steered the rudder, controlling the hull of the ship to slowly enter between the two reefs like the gates of a castle.

The waves swayed back and forth in the reef, and the hull of the ship swayed left and right with the waves, and everyone heard the sound of the hull rubbing against the reef, and they all held their breath, for fear that the sound of breathing would affect the movement of the ship and make the ship and the reef collide together.

Ye Qinghong nervously grabbed Luo Lie's big hand, Luo Lie reversed his palm and held her slender hand in the palm of his hand, the reef was close at hand, looking up, the reef in the night was like a giant, standing proudly in front of them, making people feel small from the bottom of their hearts.

Lu Weilin loaded the bullet, picked up the sniper rifle, and locked on to the two pirate ships behind through the scope, the two ships were obviously slowing down, Lu Weilin said: "It seems that they don't dare to chase in."

The blind man, who had been in charge of observing the enemy situation from the lookout, said: "They stopped, stopped...... his voice was interrupted by the friction of the hull and the reef.

Ye Qinghong grabbed Luo Lie's hand tightly, so nervous that her palms were sweating, and exclaimed, "Can this boat withstand it?" As soon as she finished speaking, the boat passed smoothly in front of the two huge reefs, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw a reef like a stone beam lying in front of them, and their boat was crashing towards that reef.

Not only Ye Qinghong exclaimed, but even Lu Weilin closed his eyes in fright.

The bow of the ship quickly turned to the left, and the whole hull turned sideways before hitting the stone beam, and then quickly turned to the right, and the sloping hull of the ship was able to go around the stone beam.

In the cockpit, the captain and Zhang Longbow were already dumbfounded, and when they handed over the rudder to Lao An, they also put the lives of everyone on the ship into his hands. Lao An was still dressed in a gray robe, but his sleeves were rolled up high, and although his arms were thin, the cord-like muscles were distinct, and they looked like steel ropes were knotted on his arms. Lao An turned the rudder so quickly that even the captain who was accustomed to wind and waves was dazzled, he had never seen a man who could handle the rudder so skillfully.

Zhang Changgong was secretly lucky in his heart, fortunately Luo Lie decided to take Lao An on the ship, it was hard to imagine that without him, they would be able to break into this sea stone forest, and even if they could break in, they would definitely face the fate of the ship hitting the reef and being crushed.

Lao An steered the boat in the reef forest in a circuitous way, everyone's hearts are suffering from unprecedented psychological torture, although the wind and waves are not big, but the surrounding canine teeth of the reef make them frightened, there is a kind of blind horse in the middle of the night in the pond feeling, a little careless I am afraid that I will fall into the abyss of no return.

Lao An, with his superior sailing skills, steered the ship into the relatively wide sea in the middle of the sea stone forest after twenty minutes of reef traversal, and he ordered to drop anchor, the water here was not deep, but it was enough to carry their boat.

The blind man slipped off the lookout, ran to the side of the ship with a pale face, and threw up a mouthful, he had never been seasick before, but the voyage was too dangerous, and he suffered more than anyone else on the lookout.

Lao An handed over the boat to the captain and went outside with Zhang Longbow.

Luo Lie greeted him, Lao An's performance just now has refreshed everyone's perception of him, no matter what they think of Lao An, one thing they have to admit is that they can't get here without Lao An.

Lao An said: "It's just an expedient measure to stop here, they shouldn't give up, each big ship of the Sea Dragon Gang will be equipped with multiple small boats, if nothing else, they will attack soon." ”

Luo Lie raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was already half past five in the morning, and there was still more than an hour before dawn. According to Lao An's previous statement, the Sea Dragon Gang usually attacks during the day, which means that they still have some time to prepare. Luo Lie said: "Amber, according to your estimate, when will they attack?" Everyone could see that Luo Lie was more polite to Lao An than before.

Lao An said: "At any time!"

The blind man relented at this moment, and said in a cut voice: "Didn't you just say that they never attack at night?"

Lao An said: "At this time and that time, if the sky is dawn, it is beneficial to us, and it is easy to hide before it is dark now." ”

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Okay!" He began to observe the terrain around him.

Lao An said: "If there is a war here, our ship is likely to be severely damaged, and even if the pirates are defeated at that time, we will not be able to leave." ”

Luo Lie said: "What do you mean ......?"

Lao An said: "We have a sampan, which can be ambushed on the reef over there before they arrive, and give them a blow when they pass by." He pointed to the rocky area about a hundred meters behind the stern of the boat, where the reef towered above the sea like a forest version. Remembering that they had just walked through the reef forest, several people still had palpitations.

Lu Weilin was the first to ask: "I'll go!" He has excellent marksmanship, but on land, if he can climb the reef before the pirates arrive, occupy the high ground, and condescendingly snipe the pirates in the distance.

Zhang Changgong said: "I'll go too." ”

Luo Lie said: "Brother Zhang, let's stay behind." "He knew the water nature of the longbow, and anything could happen once the battle began.

Zhang Changgong knew Luo Lie's kindness and wanted to insist, Luo Lie said: "I went over with Miss Ye, and you and the blind man stayed behind." ”

Lao An said: "I'll send you over." ”

The small sampan was slowly put into the sea, Luo Lie, Ye Qinghong, Lu Weilin, and Lao An entered the sampan, Lao An paddled against the waves, Luo Lie saw his skillful technique, and secretly praised in his heart. No wonder Bai Yunfei would arrange for him to come over, not to mention a few of them, even if there was no one on the entire ship who was so skilled in handling the oars.

Ye Qinghong said: "Amber is very familiar with this area. She was still full of suspicions about Lao An, why was he so familiar with the area of the Sea Stone Forest?

Lao An said: "Very familiar, my ancestors were fishermen for three generations, I came here when I was a child, and I know every stone in the Sea Stone Forest, when the tide rises and when the tide falls, all engraved in my mind." His words were tantamount to explaining to the crowd why he was so aware of the situation in this area.

Lu Weilin said: "You are also very familiar with the Sea Dragon Gang, should you be involved with them?"

Lao An's face was pale, and his eyes were calm.

Lu Weilin was not afraid of him, his eyes looked at him, and Lao An said: "The Sea Dragon Gang has taken refuge in Ren Tianjun, this time they may be here for revenge!"

Lu Weilin's heart sank, he and Luo Lie glanced at each other, if Lao An's words were true, then the Sea Dragon Gang came this time to be entrusted by Ren Tianjun for revenge.

Luo Lie said indifferently: "No matter what, this battle must be fought." He pointed to the towering reef and said, "Weilin, this place is quite suitable for you." ”

After Lu Weilin stopped the sampan in Lao An, he grabbed the gap in the reef and climbed up, leaving the rickety boat, his spirit suddenly returned to his body, and several people looked at Lu Weilin to climb higher and higher, and soon succeeded in reaching the top, after he reached the top, Lu Weilin turned around and made an OK gesture to everyone, and then looked for the best position and put into battle preparations.

Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong also found a suitable location respectively, the height of the reef where Ye Qinghong was hiding was similar to Lu Weilin, Luo Lie did not come to a high place, but lurked in the reef thicket, according to their plan, Lu Weilin and Ye Qinghong were responsible for long-range attacks, and Luo Lie and Lao An were responsible for sniping the enemy at close range with each other.

Although Zhang Changgong and the blind man stayed behind, the pressure they faced was not small, after all, there were two traitors on this ship just now, and among the crew members of the ship, it was not known if there were other traitors, they not only had to guard against external enemies, but also to prevent people from sabotaging inside.

The captain gathered the rest of the sailors on deck, except for the two dead and wounded, and five crew members, and after assigning their guns, all of them lay in ambush at the corresponding positions on the deck, and their most important task was to ensure the safety of the ship, which was the guarantee of their voyage.
