The interior of the Antai is very large, and it is very time-consuming to find it under the premise that you have to be careful of pirate sneak attacks and have to be cautious.

Now that there is more smoke distraction, the search is more than twice as difficult.

In order to speed up the search, Jackie Chan had to change his plan at the last minute, first find the source of the smoke, and extinguish the fire that started the fire.

This also prevents the fire from spreading further, causing it to turn into a fire that burns the entire ship.

Finding the source of the fire is equally difficult!

It took Jackie Chan and his entourage nearly 2 hours to find a lot of dead ends and wrong paths before finally finding the source of the smoke.

At the end of a passage in the cabin, there was a pile of burning debris such as bed frames and tires.

"Who set the fire here? There are so many piles of them, all the passages are blocked, is it the crew on the defensive? Light the passage with fire to prevent pirates from passing? Or was it just the pirates who wanted to smoke the crew out? ”

Jackie Chan thought secretly, unable to make a judgment, the situation was too complicated, and he could only rest assured that he would not care about it for the time being.

Xu Sanduo and Wu Liuyi were arranged to be responsible for guarding, and organized others to look for fire extinguishers, water, fire blankets, and all other tools that could extinguish fires in the surrounding area.

Since the fire has been burning for a long time, it is estimated that at least more than an hour, most of the flammable materials have been burned, or only the corners remain, and the gasoline that began to pour is even more ash.

Therefore, the process of extinguishing the fire was not very troublesome, and it only took a few minutes to extinguish the open flame.

Then he picked up the ashes and washed them with water, sprayed them with a fire extinguisher, and stomped on them or beat them with rotten clothes, completely extinguishing the last sparks.

Without the constant smoldering of the fire, the smoke in the passage thinned at a rate visible to the naked eye.

That is, after the fire is extinguished, there is no interference from flames and smoke, and the situation at the other end of the passage can be seen clearly.

At this time, Jackie Chan and others discovered that there was a hatch in the middle of the fire.

After a long period of baking and scorching in the fire, the hatch was now blackened by the same size as the surrounding walls.

If you don't look closely, you really can't find it.

The location of the fire was burning against the door, which made Jackie Chan finally understand.

Even if the hatch hasn't been opened yet, Jackie Chan is 100% sure that all the crew members are in the cabin inside this hatch.

The fire outside was apparently set by pirates.

The purpose of this is to smoke out the crew members who are hiding inside.

Jackie Chan could tell with the naked eye that the hatch was very thick, probably made of steel plates of more than 10 millimeters.

As far as these AK replicas in the hands of the pirates, plus they are all cheap lead core bullets, not armor-piercing steel core bullets.

It's a bit difficult to break through.

The crew hid in the hatch and refused to come out, and the pirates had no way to destroy the hatch, so all they could do was to burn it with fire.

The smoke from the fire penetrated in, making the crew in the cabin unable to stand it and open the door and come out.

Even if smoke cannot penetrate the cabin, the fire in the tunnel can burn the bulkhead and hatch to a high temperature as long as it continues to burn.

This leads to paint coatings on the walls and doors of the cabin, which smoke and even catch fire due to high temperatures.

It can also force the people in the cabin out!

It's a pity that I don't know what the reason is, the pirates burned for two hours and had no effect, and the crew did not come out and still hid inside.

On the contrary, the pirates themselves may not be able to stand it anymore and be smoked away by the pungent smoke.

Now I must have known that the warship was coming, and when Wise was not the opponent of the warship, and there was no hostage in his hands, and there was no way to escape.

Most likely, the pirates chose to hide somewhere on this ship.

I want to wait for the warship to leave, and then come out and try to escape.

Jackie Chan looked at the demonic brain, coupled with a lot of experience accumulated in actual combat, and through the way of imitation and deduction, he has figured out the ins and outs.

All that's left is to rescue the hostages!

"Report to the explorers, this is a tank, no pirates have been found yet, the suspected crew hiding place has been discovered, and the rescue is ready to begin, over."

Jackie Chan first reported the situation to the Yangzhou, and then took the lead to the blackened hatch.

"Knock knock."

Jackie Chan slapped the door three times with his palm, and then immediately went to the door and stuck to the wall to prevent the pirates hiding inside, and came out to give himself a shuttle of bullets.

Then he leaned close to the door and shouted, "Is there anyone inside?" We are ZG naval commandos, and we were ordered to come and rescue you.

If you hear that, open the door and come out, and we'll protect you and get you home safely. ”

Jackie Chan's pure Mandarin immediately made the quiet cabin commotion.

The crew, who had been trapped for nearly twenty hours in total, were already so nervous that they were about to have a nervous breakdown, and they excitedly replied loudly inside.

"Great, great, saved."

"It's ZG soldiers, it's our country, and the motherland has come to save us, haha."

"God forbid, I survived, I, Liu Tian, actually survived."

……

The crew inside was excited to shout all kinds of shouts, and at the same time began to pull the wrench of the deadbolt, and with a piercing creak, the heavy hatch was pulled open from the inside, shooting out flashlight rays.

The power supply in the cabin has long been cut off, and the emergency lights can only be used for lighting, but after about 20 hours, the emergency lights have long been out of power.

Looking at the light from the flashlight, the crew could clearly see the Yanlong team outside the door.

If it were at any other point in time, seeing such a big guy as Jackie Chan appear at the door, the crew would definitely be afraid of this fierce image.

But at this particular juncture, none of the crew members are afraid.

Not only not afraid.

is even extra down-to-earth.

The ZG soldiers who are like supernatural giants standing in front of them represent absolute strength, which is enough to make the crew no longer afraid of any enemies.

Jackie Chan also went up to hand in at the first time and asked who was in charge here, and the captain was not here.

"I'm here!"

A man with glasses in his 40s squeezed to the front of the crowd with his hands raised.

"Hoe, you're in charge of taking people out."

Jackie Chan arranged for Wu Ze to rescue the hostages, and he beckoned to the captain and said, "You come here first, I have some things to check, and I ask you to cooperate." ”

"Okay, okay."

The captain of the ship has completely broken his courage, and in the face of the "heavenly gods" who can save himself from fire and water, it is one hundred and twenty cooperation in his heart.

Jackie Chan took advantage of Wu Zhe to lead the team to organize a rescue and protect the hostages to take them to the outside deck.

He began to ask the captain all sorts of key questions.

I learned that the reason for the power outage on the ship was that the captain not only destroyed the ship control facilities but also cut off all the power supply before leaving the wheelhouse.

The mess in the cockpit of the cargo ship finally found the "culprit".

Jackie Chan's most doubtful point -

If the pirates set fire to the outside for two hours, the inside of the bulkhead will certainly be burned to a very high temperature, and if the corresponding measures are not taken, the paint on the wall will definitely gelatinize, and eventually smoke under the heat scorching.

The crew was in a cramped safety cabin, and it was impossible for them to stay until now and come out on their own.

The captain said that the name of this cabin is called the safety cabin, and it is specially prepared to prevent pirates, and he usually thinks that he will not use it, but he did not expect to save his life today.

And the captain's solution to this crisis is actually not a clever method.

It depends on the preparation work.

There is an independent ventilation system in the safety cabin, and if you are not a professional engineer with the design drawings of this ship, you will not be able to find the exit of the ventilation system.

The pirates are uneducated, and they don't understand it.

A good ventilation and oxygen supply environment plays the most basic survival guarantee.

In addition, some supplies were placed in the safety cabin, including essential drinking water, which played a key role at this time.

When the crew heard that the pirates were going to burn with fire, and that the paint on the bulkheads was burned and rolled up.

After a short period of nervousness and panic, some people thought of using water to cool down, but the effect of pouring water directly was very small, and it flowed down when splashed.

There wasn't much water in the safety cabin, so it wouldn't last a few minutes.

In the end, the advantage of being large was brought into play, and some of them came up with the idea of drenching their clothes with water and sticking them to the walls.

In this way, a part of the water can be left on the wall of the warehouse for a long time.

After the water on the clothes is dried, then re-water the clothes to make them wet, so as to ensure that the paint layer on the bulkhead will not scorch and smoke due to the high temperature.

Although doing so will cause the temperature of the cabin to rise sharply, turning it into a very hot sauna.

But relying on this clever method, he managed to survive the most fatal period of time, so that the crew was not smoked to death.

It was also in the high-temperature safety cabin that I passively steamed for two hours in the sauna.

If you have water, you don't dare to drink it, so you want to save your life.

The crew members were thirsty when they came out, everyone was dry and smoking in their throats, and after they went out, they all went straight to the fresh water pipe, turned on the faucet and grunted directly, and everyone drank until their stomachs were round.

Because the deck has been completely cleared, it has been confirmed that no pirates are hiding somewhere.

Wu Zhe and the others did not stop it, but let the crew members mess around on the deck, guarding the two faucets to drink water.

When Jackie Chan and the captain finally came out, they counted the rescuers, and there were twenty-five crew members plus the captain.

"Report to the explorers, this is a tank, the hostages have all been rescued, currently concentrated on the rear deck, the pirates have not yet found it, it is predicted that it is still in the bilge or cargo hold, apply to continue the search, over." Jackie Chan shouted.

"Explorers received, allowed to move, be sure to catch all the pirates, over." Captain Zhang gave the order from the Yangzhou.

"It's all there, assemble."

Jackie Chan gave an order, and Wu Zhe and the others reassembled in line.

"There is a high probability that the pirates are still on the ship, and there are two speedboats parked under the right chord, and the number of pirates is expected to be between 6 and 10 people, in order to remove all hidden dangers and escort the delivery ship to leave safely, we must find them, and now start rechecking the weapons and ammunition."

Jackie Chan briefly described the current situation, and finally gave the order to inspect the weapons and equipment.

Wu Zhe, Xu Sanduo, Zhuang Yan, Lao Pao, and Wu Liuyi all checked whether the weapons and ammunition were faulty, and then replaced the batteries of the night vision goggles and the strong light flashlight to ensure that there was sufficient power in the next search.

The previous focus was on finding the crew and preventing them from being kidnapped by the pirates, but now that they have been rescued, the only goal left is to find out all the pirates.

Even if they're hiding in the asshole ditch now, we're going to get them all out and kill them.

Excluding the places that had been searched before, the Yanlong team still maintained a team under the command of Jackie Chan to prevent any accidents.

Although Jackie Chan is in contact with Somali pirates from the Gulf of Aden for the first time in his life.

But in his previous life, he had a very clear understanding of Somali pirates through the news, military newspapers and internal channels, and knew the characteristics of Somali pirates.

The biggest difference between Somali pirates is that they are very capable.

Somali pirates who are forced to be pirates by survival are still ordinary people in essence, and they are no different from ordinary people.

In the face of irresistible danger, Somali pirates do not choose to die together.

Unlike the most vicious terrorists!

Somali pirates will choose to run first, and they will do everything they can to escape, and if they are sure that they cannot escape, they will choose to hide.

Just hide somewhere in the cargo ship that is going to be kidnapped, and every corner will get into it.

As long as you can squeeze in, no matter how dirty it is, it's fine.

When the armed personnel who were rescued by the escort could not be found, they thought the pirates had left and evacuated, and the crew thought that it was safe to leave the safety cabin.

The pirates will re-emerge.

There are many pirates who have gone through this process, and some of them have accidentally discovered the "trick" and began to decide whether to go or re-hijack according to the situation.

It's not a great trick, but it's a tried and tested trick.

Usually after a rescue, when the psychological defense line is the lowest, there is no warning at all, and it is easy to be hijacked by pirates.

Therefore.

Some pirate gangs will even take the initiative to feint, come up with all kinds of sabotage, and finally pretend to leave, but in fact hide.

Wait for the crew to get out of the safety cabin by themselves, and then come out to get it easily.

This method is much easier than storming the hard, thick safety pods, and the risk factor is lower than that of pirates.

According to the current timeline, pirates at this stage have begun to "evolve".

It cannot be ruled out that the pirates hiding on this ship are fighting this idea, so after hearing the air explosion bombs and shouts of the Yangzhou, they did not make a single movement, wanting to pretend that they had left.

If Jackie Chan can't find out the pirates, the Antarzan and others will suffer a big crime.

In order to search the entire ship completely and thoroughly, make sure that every corner is found, and do not give the pirates any chance, and absolutely find them out.

Jackie Chan spent nearly a minute in the team, after checking the guns, ammunition and equipment.

He found the captain of the Antai Shan again, explained to him the second hijacking by the pirates, and asked him to find a crew member to lead the way for the rescue team and make sure that the pirates were not given a chance.

The captain heard that the pirates might be hiding on the ship and waiting for the rescuers to leave before coming out and hijacking them.

His face turned white with fright!

Knowing that it would be dangerous to lead the way for the rescue team, he was not afraid of what would happen next if he didn't find the pirate.

He immediately patted his chest and said, "Just let me come, no one is more familiar with this ship than me, and I will be your guide." ”

"You don't have to be too nervous, just follow the line, there will be no danger."

Jackie Chan patted the captain on the shoulder, giving the forty-year-old captain a little courage, and then turned around and waved to his teammates and said:

"Let's go!"

With Jackie Chan's order, the Yanlong team entered the cabin again.
