Captain Wang Changfu's face was solemn at this time.

Although a full five armed security personnel were hired.

But that's just just in case.

When he really encountered pirates, he still couldn't help but feel nervous and heavy.

"Tell the security guards the news first!"

"Sound the alarm again and tell everyone to get up!"

Captain Wang Changfu quickly said to the second officer.

Soon.

Shrill sirens sounded throughout the freighter.

Woke up many of the crew members who had fallen asleep.

"Wake up!!"

"There are pirates!!"

"There are pirate !!"

The crew on duty quickly ran and shouted, telling everyone that there was a pirate.

And the armed security guards who were the first to be notified also put away their previous leisure at this moment, and began to prepare their weapons and equipment one by one.

Although they are armed security guards, they do this job.

But who doesn't want to get that employment fee in peace!?

If you have to fight pirates every time you go out on a mission, then it is estimated that many people will not want to continue to be this armed security guard.

Or even if you do, the price will be sky-high.

"Fake!!"

"These pirate bastards really know how to time! I didn't do it until the middle of the night!! ”

An armed security guard holds an automatic rifle and expertly loads the magazine, cursing as he curses.

In the middle of the night, people's vision and vision are affected.

Even if it is equipped with night vision devices.

There's no way to compare it to daytime.

And it is impossible to determine the location of the pirate ship so accurately in the middle of the night.

Large ocean-going freighters have too much load and too deep draft, so the height of the deck will be much lower.

It is more conducive to pirate boarding.

Therefore, even if encounters with pirates are unavoidable, they do not want to encounter them at night.

"Huh? Do you see the beard? Why didn't he come? ”

Captain Wang Changfu saw that there were only four security guards here, and couldn't help but ask a little strangely.

"When we were on patrol just now, he went over there!"

A security officer said.

In his opinion, the bearded man may have just drunk too much beer, maybe went to the toilet.

But what no one knows.

The bearded man was in the corner of the freighter at the moment, under a certain container, whispering a phone call.

"Damn it!"

"Your whereabouts have been revealed!!"

There was a silence on the phone, and there was a strange question: "It's so late, are they still so strict?" How did you find out where we were?! ”

The bearded man whispered, "Hell! How would I have known they found you! ”

"Now they're on the alert and they're starting to put anti-piracy measures in place!"

"You guys have to hurry!"

"If they come a little later, when they are all ready, the deal will be over!"

However, for the bearded man's anxious warning, the phone was surprisingly calm.

"Don't worry!"

"There are a lot of brothers who came this time, and among them are the 'sailors'!"

After hearing the voice coming out of the phone.

The bearded man was a little surprised.

The Sailors are no ordinary gang of idle pirates.

It is a large pirate organization with strong organizational skills and advanced communication equipment and weaponry!

The leader of the 'sailors' is a soldier, and he kills decisively!

At this time, the bearded man regretted it slightly.

He chose to work with a pirate gang this time because the head of the gang had known him for many years, and he had been very short of money recently, so he thought of teaming up with that old fellow to make this vote.

In any case, he and this old fellow who is now a pirate are also familiar with each other, and he doesn't have to worry about the secrecy of his identity and the distribution of benefits.

But if there are people who come this time, there are still people from the 'sailors' pirate organization in Shumari.

No one can say what the outcome will become!

What if the 'sailors' are strong and want to eat black!?

After all, his old fellow is not very powerful, just a small gang of idle pirates, a total of only seven or eight people, a speedboat.

However, the 'sailors' are a large pirate organization, and the number of people is not ordinary, even if only some of them come.

It won't be less than twenty or thirty people!

They're a large pirate organization that often targets large merchant ships!

At this time.

A gust of sea breeze blew, and the beard couldn't help but shiver.

At this moment, the phone in his hand has been hung up by the other party.

It seems that the other side is in a hurry to catch up this way, and there is no time to say anything more to him.

The bearded man pondered for a moment, but he was still going to go over and see what was going on.

When he came to a relatively wide place on the deck.

It was found that both the remaining four security personnel and the crew members of the ship were nervously arranging anti-piracy equipment.

The fence on the side of the ship is covered with pirate spines, and there are high-pressure water cannons at intervals.

Seeing the bearded man coming, the rest of the people greeted one after another.

"There's a pirate coming!"

"Get ready!!"

It seemed to them that the bearded man might have just gone to the toilet, so no one suspected anything.

The bearded man nodded and waved the guy in his hand.

"Don't worry!"

"With us, it's more than enough to deal with this gang of pirates!"

Although he did not show it on the face.

But in his heart, he was still a little flustered!

Because he doesn't know how many men the 'sailors' have sent!

How many speedboats there were, how many armed men, what light and heavy armament they were, none of this is known.

So now the bearded man's plan is to wait and see.

Wait until the situation is clear, and then make a decision on who to follow.

When the anti-piracy devices were set up, the sound of speedboat engines could be heard on the sea.

The shrill sirens began to sound again.

"The pirates are coming! The pirates are coming!! ”

"Everybody's in spirit!!"

Captain Wang Changfu shouted loudly.

At this moment, everyone shouted in unison.

The container ship is brightly lit, and you can vaguely distinguish the surrounding situation.

The screeching sound of the speedboat's motor could be heard from all directions.

"It's broken!"

The faces of the captain Wang Changfu and the others changed, and they secretly screamed in their hearts.

Listening to the movement of the courier around here, you know that it is not just a two-ship pirate speedboat chasing after you.

On a small speedboat, there are at least seven or eight pirates.

With so many speedboats around, I'm afraid the number of pirates added up must be at least dozens!

You must know that the 100,000-ton container ship they are on, including the captain, is only about 30 crew members!

And the pirates are not inferior in number to them.

Not to mention that pirates are all armed men!

Therefore, in the face of pirates, merchant ships have little ability to resist.

Even if you hire armed security guards, if you have fewer people, stronger pirate gangs will still do it.

Really!

After the ship's armed security guards fired warning shots.

Not only did those pirates not have the slightest scruples, but the sound of speedboats around them was getting closer and closer!

Under the lights of the freighter, you can even see the shadows of those pirate ships!

“1、2、3…… 4……”

"There are four pirate speedboats!!"

"Fack!"

"Why are there so many pirates!!"

After seeing the pirate ships clearly, the armed security guards on board were cursing one by one.

Four pirate speedboats, at least thirty or so pirates combined!

It's almost as big as their crew!

And these pirates are all armed men, and pirate gangs of this size basically have light and heavy weapons!

When the four pirate speedboats got closer, everyone on the cargo ship could even see that there were one or two fierce pirates carrying RPGs on each pirate speedboat!

The rest of the pirates were at worst armed with AKs, and some even operated heavy machine guns!

"Oh buy karma!!"

“RPG！ Heavy machine guns! ”

"What the fuck is this going to ......"

The bearded man's shouting made the mood of the people on board fall to the bottom at once!

Some of the ordinary crew members are not good at foreign language and may not understand what he is shouting.

But senior seafarers, including the captain, first mate, second officer, and chief engineer, can understand!

And because of that.

One by one, their faces turned pale!

It's not just them.

The other four armed security guards except for the bearded man were also full of panic at the moment!

Most of the weapons they carried were small arms, even with two armed security guards with sniper rifles.

But in the middle of the night, especially on a drifting ship, the other party is still a flexible and high-speed speedboat, and the accuracy of sniping cannot be guaranteed at all!

In this case, they faced more than thirty armed pirates, and there was no doubt that there was not a single chance!

When the bearded man saw this, he was overjoyed.

As long as the sense of resistance here is not strong, then the success rate of his plan is very large!

Now there is more uncertainty about the 'sailors'.

However, the relationship between him and the old fellow who was the leader of the pirates should have been told to the 'sailors'.

If he can convince the merchant ships not to resist, the ransom will be in hand, and he will definitely have a share of the credit.

Come to think of this.

The bearded man turned his head to the captain Wang Changfu and the others and said, "Wang, the situation is a little bad! ”

"There are too many pirates on the other side, and there is a lot of heavy firepower!"

"We may not be able to protect you effectively!"

The bearded man finished.

The faces of the people became even paler.

If these armed security guards can't protect them, then there seems to be only one end waiting for them!

Then.

The first mate's body trembled a little, and he trembled: "That, that...... Pirates don't kill people! ”

The bearded man glanced at the first mate, and he wanted to give the first mate a thumbs up.

For the first mate's question, the bearded face became solemn.

"Normally, pirates are here for money!"

"If we cooperate, generally speaking, as soon as the ransom is in hand, they will leave!"

"But if we resist, we may all be buried at the bottom of the sea......"

When everyone heard this, their faces turned green!

But if you don't resist, the crew and cargo will become lambs to the slaughter!

Although the bearded man said it easily.

But no one dares to pin their hopes on the character of pirates!

What if they tear up the ticket after they get the ransom!?

What if they get the ransom and want more, and take the whole ship with the cargo!?

At this moment, the most tormented in my heart is Captain Wang Changfu!

The total value of these 10,000 standard containers on board is billions!

Not to mention more than 30 crew members, the value of life is immeasurable!

If something goes wrong with the crew and cargo, the damage is too great!!

Just when Captain Wang Changfu was suffering.

The other four armed security guards were all a little panicked at this time.

As armed security guards, they live a life with their heads pinned to their belts.

But in general, it is very safe.

At most, it's a formality with the ship.

If you want to talk about encountering pirates, I have encountered them many times.

But it was basically one pirate ship, at most two pirate ships.

Most of the time they fired a few shots to scare the other party, and those pirates knew that there were armed security personnel on board, and many times they would give up hijacking the ship.

And now the other side has at least four pirate ships, dozens of armed men, light and heavy weapons!

I don't know if the other party has another boat behind!

In the face of such a large pirate gang, let alone five of them.

Even if it's twice as many people, it's not an opponent on the other side!

For a while, they all had the idea of retreating.

As an armed security guard, it must be the first target of the pirates.

If pirates want to hijack a cargo ship, they will be the first to die!

If you lay down your arms and don't resist, there may be a glimmer of life!

So they all looked at the bearded man.

They were security guards from the same security company, and the bearded man was a senior employee.

He is also the captain of this mission.

At this critical juncture, they also ran out of ideas.

Or that they have subconsciously had the idea of giving up resistance.

It's just that the bearded captain of the security guard needs to be confirmed.

The bearded man looked at everyone's eyes and pretended to be a little embarrassed.

"It depends on the captain!"

"King."

"You're employers, do you think we're going to resist?"

Hear the bearded man's inquiry.

Wang Changfu struggled to get out of his inner torment.

On one side are the lives of the crew, and on the other side are billions worth of cargo on board.

And it is not known whether the pirates will attack the crew and cargo even if they give up resistance.

The most vicious of the pirates.

Once the other party is not trustworthy, the act of ripping the ticket occurs.

Then their abandonment of resistance is tantamount to digging their own graves.

If you resist and escape, there is still a chance to survive.

Captain Wang Changfu racked his brains for a long time before finally making a decision.

"We can't give up!"

"First and second officers, you send a distress signal first!"

"Except for the security guards and the crew who drove the boat, the rest of the people went to the safety cabin!!"

Just when Wang Changfu made this decision.

The bearded man's heart sank suddenly.

He didn't expect that in this situation, this Great Xia Captain would even think about resisting and escaping!

But how could he let Wang Changfu get his wish!
