Chapter 464: Encounter with Pirates
A few days passed like this. One night, Wu Lai was holding He Wen and staging a restricted-level blockbuster, when suddenly the alarm on the ship sounded.
Wu Lai was startled and almost collapsed. Wu Lai broke open and scolded: "Damn, who is so lacking in virtue?" But this can only be blamed on himself for not setting up an enchantment, in fact, he usually sets it up, but this time he somehow forgot about it.
As we all know, the alarm will only sound when there is danger, otherwise it will not be sounded for no reason. This is not a wolf story. Sounding the alarm is responsible, just like dialing 110, you can't dial it casually, it must be to confirm that there is danger before sounding the alarm.
Sirens blared, the ship was in chaos, and the sleeping people got up in their clothes and ran to the deck to see what was going on. Some people start to pack their things as soon as they hear the alarm, after all, there were examples of the Titanic before, be vigilant, and maybe have a chance to escape on a lifeboat.
Wu Lai Shennian had already probed the one on the deck, he and He Wen quickly got dressed, and then walked out, at this time Han Xue and the others were also dressed and stood at the door of their room.
Han Xue asked worriedly, "Lai, what's going on?"
Wu Lai comforted: "I don't know. But I'm here, it's fine. ”
Yes, with him, even if the Olympic and Titanic, like the Titanic, hit the iceberg, they will be fine.
The deck was crowded with people, all of whom heard the siren and came out to watch, they wanted to know what had happened, was the ship about to sink? When they got on the ship, they never worried, but once the alarm sounded, they thought of the Titanic, this Olympic and Titanic, like the Titanic, claimed to be unsinkable, but the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, causing a major disaster in the history of human navigation, and those who have watched the movie remember it vividly!
Even those gamblers who soak in the casino all day and all night have come out, although they like to gamble, but they also have to gamble!
The crew began to come out to maintain order, after all, there was a lot of noise on the deck, and it was easy to make trouble. The crew members tactfully asked the people to go back to their cabins to rest, but those people did not care about the crew at all, they did not understand the reason for the incident, and they would not be reassured. After all, if they really hit an iceberg or something, but it is closely related to their lives, how can they rest assured? These people are all rich and powerful, and they all value their lives very seriously, and they come out to play to enjoy life, not to put themselves in a dangerous situation.
The people who do their own thing make these crew members very helpless. They had to go to the captain, who said on the radio in the captain's room: "Ladies and gentlemen, please return to your cabin at once." The Olympic was being followed by several unidentified vessels, only a dozen nautical miles away, and they signaled us to stop the ship for inspection. The waters in this area are said to be uneven, and there are often pirates, and we suspect that they are pirates, so we decided to go full speed and get rid of them, hoping that everyone will cooperate with us to ensure your personal safety. ”
As soon as they heard that it might be a pirate, the people on deck hurried back to their cabins, locked the doors and windows, and stayed nervously in their rooms, holding the tools that could be used as weapons.
Pirates, this profession was a very important social role in the ancient continent of O. Most pirates are seen wearing red triangular scarves and black one-eyed patches, standing on a skeletal flag with a pointed blade at their waists and holding muskets. But that is the image of the past, to today, the society has developed to the modern era, although the information is more and more developed, and the weapons and equipment of various countries are more and more advanced, but the pirates have not died out, but have become more powerful. In today's world, there are many pirates, and you must know that there are countless small islands on the high seas of the world, and these small islands are uninhabited, so they are occupied by these pirates and become their shelter.
Of course, these pirates live on the shore most of the time, and only get on ships and go to sea when they come out to plunder, and they usually live the same life as ordinary people, and if you don't know the inside story, you won't find them at all.
Maybe one day you will be surprised to find that someone next to you is actually one of the pirates, because they have lived on land for a long time, so in order to prevent people from being recognized on land after looting, they act very cruelly, often killing people and goods, and doing all kinds of evil. These pirates not only robbed their property, but they also spared no one, killing all the people they met, except of course for the beautiful women, who were usually captured by them and hidden in their sea bases, where they could have sex at their leisure, and when they had had enough, they would sell them to small countries to become prostitutes, or simply kill them and abandon their corpses in the deep sea.
However, in doing so, they scared a lot of people. Later, some pirates slowly changed their tactics, and after looting the ship, it was enough to ransom the ship and crew with money. However, there are still many pirates who are engaged in murder and stealing goods, and for this reason, many countries have sent peacekeeping fleets to escort some fleets. But this is only a palliative solution, and the huge profits of pirates make many people willingly join in, and then take risks.
It has to be said that pirates are hateful, so generally armed ships, if they encounter pirates, will desperately resist, unless the equipment is really too poor. If you don't resist desperately, maybe it's really a dead end, and there is no chance at all. If you resist, you can still delay the time until the rescue ship arrives.
However, today's pirates are equipped with very advanced modern weapons and computer equipment, and their modus operandi is "more sophisticated." Some of these relatively intelligent and powerful pirates have also embarked on the road of collectivization, organization, and internationalization. They control a large number of maritime trade routes, except for the ships of the world's powerful countries and the large warships of various governments, they basically do not let go, of course, not all ships they have to rush up to burn and loot, some companies will pay a lot of money to the pirates every year as protection costs, so that these pirates do not come to their own trouble. Of course, those pirates are also very willing to do such a thing, who is not willing to do things that can collect money without doing anything, and besides, it is impossible for him to rob all the ships, it is better to sit down and collect money directly, and it is safe, and there is no danger to life.
