Deep in the East China Sea.

The storm had been going on for two days, and the huge waves were roaring with a sweeping coercion.

As the waves crashed against the ship, the weather-beaten pirate ship rose and fell.

Because of the torrential rain, there was no one on the deck, but there was an impressive blood-red flag hanging from the mast.

The flag depicts a black seated wolf.

Blood wolf.

This is a well-known pirate organization in the Mochizuki Continent.

In the cockpit at the bow of the ship, a young man of about twenty-five years old was looking into the depths of the waves.

This pirate ship is his.

His name is Lin Xiaoxiang, the third leader of the Blood Wolf Organization.

Three days ago, after a very smooth voyage, he left the Peiguo Strait with the spoils of war and went to the base on the island where he was.

Because of the storm, the trip has been delayed for half a day, although it is windy and rainy outside, but he is not in a hurry to see the wind and waves.

At most, half an hour will be at the base.

The first mate is a man in his forties, and the chief engineer is in his thirties.

Next to the chief engineer's leg, a goat curled up on the floor.

Why are there sheep on board?

Those who understand naturally understand.

"This time I was lucky, and the brothers were very happy." The first mate looked at the young man and asked tentatively, "Boss, give the brothers a holiday?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette, took a puff, lit it, and handed it over.

On this voyage, they robbed a total of two merchant ships, a passenger ship, and the merchant ship had all kinds of fruits and living materials, as for the passenger ship...... The people on the passenger ship are locked in the cargo hold at the moment.

This time they brought back sixty-three people, of whom thirty-nine were women and twenty-four were men.

Most of those people have written their home addresses and contact details as required at this moment, and the next step is to arrange for a secret stake in Peiguo to demand a ransom from the address provided by these people.

How much it costs is determined by the stake spies looking at the family situation of the robbers.

Either you go bankrupt or you ...... Just like some people who are alone and no one is willing to pay, most of these people stay in the base as laborers, and some people who are unwilling to be ordinary will choose to join the pirate organization.

Hearing the words of the first mate, he smiled at the first mate, he took the cigarette handed by the first mate and took two puffs, the smoke swirled in his lungs, and he exhaled it.

"Although I grabbed a lot of things this time, there are more important things to do."

"Tell the brethren not to celebrate, and to leave as soon as you get back to the base to resupply supplies."

"Huh?" Hearing this, the chief engineer was stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise: "Where are you going?" ”

"City of Ruins."

The first mate's eyebrows were furrowed: "What are you doing where the bird doesn't?" ”

"Exchange this shipload for money."

"Then use the money to buy a ship."

The third master said with some excitement: "Huang Tianyou's reselling of arms has been exposed, and the eldest brother has already purchased a batch of arms. ”

"When we change the warship, don't we come and leave as soon as we want to come in the Peiguo Strait?"

"After returning from the city of ruins, I will rest for ten days and half a month."

"When the time comes, let's go to Cailian River together to have a good time."

Hearing this, the two of them, who were a little depressed because of the cancellation of the holiday, smiled, and the unhappiness in their hearts disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the three of them quickly talked about the girl and the gambling house in Cailian River.

At this moment, in the cargo hold under the ship, some of the hostages who were taken were already asleep, but most of them still had tears on their faces, and the rest of them were looking at a certain place with empty eyes and dull expressions.

As the hull swayed, some made the onion wake up in his sleep, so nervous that he trembled.

Some were seasick and retching, not because they couldn't vomit, but because the pirates hadn't provided them with any food except water for the past few days.

Someone was holding a pen in the dim light, looking at the empty white paper in a daze, and he didn't know where to start writing a thousand words.

But the pirate on guard didn't give him much time to think.

With a slap in the face, the man in a daze hurriedly wrote his home address on a blank piece of paper, ignoring the blood on the corner of his mouth - too many people have been beaten in the past two days.

The beaten people have become numb, and some people resisted at first...... After being beaten, you were honest, still not convinced? Keep playing.

These hostages are all money, and pirates will not kill unless they have to, unless there are too many rebels, and one or two will be killed to make an example.

Just like the last time I went to sea, I killed eight people to make those people robbed honestly.

This is also one of the reasons why pirates love to kidnap women.

Fortunately, there were no hard bones among the sixty-three people who were robbed this time, and the three days of hunger and thirst had already made these people lose their backbone.

Once a person has no backbone, cowardice will fill the whole body, making people's legs weak and habitually kneeling.

After checking the contact address in his hand, sixty-three copies were correct, the pirate stopped guarding them and closed the cargo door.

In the cargo hold, the lights swayed with the hull of the ship, and the cry rang out.

Tears never solve the problem, but many people like to use it to show their inner vulnerability in the face of problems.

Half an hour later, the pirate ship arrived at an isolated island and began to dock.

The pirates on the island had already received the news, and all the staff stood on the shore of the island to greet them, and when the ship docked, the pirates raised their guns and shot at the night sky to celebrate.

Water, fruits, rice, spices, medicines, these are very popular in the ruined city, such as clothes, shoes, hats, books, etc., few people buy, and carry untradable items off the ship, and the pirates carry daily necessities to the ship to make reserves for the next voyage.

After doing all this, the hostage handover begins.

Not far away, Lin Xiaoxiang, the third master, and the second master, were talking and laughing.

"Brother, it's really hard for you this time."

"The eldest brother went to discuss the purchase of a ship and never came back, if it weren't for your sister-in-law giving birth in the next two days, I would have gone to the city of ruins."

"The second brother will see the outside when he says this." Lin Xiaoxiang smiled: "I haven't been to the city of ruins yet, so I'm just going to take a look." ”

"Then I'll wait for you to come back on the island to celebrate your success!" As soon as the second master finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion on the side of the hostage handover.

Lin Xiaoxiang and the second master glanced at each other, and he quickly pulled out his gun and shot it into the sky.

The chaotic and crowded crowd instantly fell silent.

Second, the master began to count the heads.

"Sixty-three." Lin Xiaoxiang said on the side.

The third master hummed and continued to count, and after a few seconds he sighed.

"The number of people is wrong."

Listening to the words of the second master, Lin Xiaoxiang was a little surprised - someone ran away?

He also began to count.

After a moment, the two looked at each other and opened their mouths at the same time to report a number: "Sixty-four." ”

There are no fewer people, and one more?

It's kind of weird.

Lin Xiaoxiang didn't explain, stepped forward and took the home addresses written by the previous robbers, and began to ask his subordinates to read them according to the address.

Whoever wrote the address came out and was escorted to the island.

The crowd became smaller and smaller, and when there were only a dozen or so people left, Lin Xiaoxiang's eyes fell on one person.

The man was covered in blood, and his face was a little pale, and unlike the dazed and helpless of the others, he looked at the island and the pirates with the same curiosity as if he had come to visit.

Lin Xiaoxiang clenched the gun in his hand.

Sure enough, by the time the sixty-three letters of faith with the home address were finished, the man with blood stains and dry dirt on his body stood alone.

At this moment, he was looking at Lin Xiaoxiang.

There was a somewhat unlucky look on his face, and there was no fear or panic.

Lin Xiaoxiang was walking towards him.

Coming to the man, Lin Xiaoxiang pointed a gun at his head and asked:

"Who are you? When to get on the boat? ”
