On a calm sea, a big red ocean-going ship passed the Maldives Islands with its whistle. The low and melodious sound of the whistle spread farther and farther along with the waves, and at the same time announced that it was entering the Arabian Sea.

On the spacious deck, deck chairs are lined up. Shi Quan is wearing a pair of flashy beach shorts and a toad mirror on his face, lying on the deck chair enjoying the same quality of sunshine as in the Maldives.

This was already the 17th day of sailing since their departure from Vladivostok, and it was also the first truly calm day after they passed through Malacca.

There were no dangerous waves on the deck, no uncontrolled swaying from side to side, and no strong wind mixed with rain or even sea fish. The club members who had been holding back in the cabin for several days were finally able to come out for some air.

"Ivan, I didn't expect that your calamity summoner's physique would work so well here," Shi Quan teased, taking a big sip of a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.

"It's not my fault!"

Big Iwan looked helpless, and while spraying sunscreen spray on his body, he forcefully defended himself, "The bad weather has nothing to do with me, you should go find Ms. Mazu."

"We Mazu are not like gods who care about foreigners' affairs when they have free time." Liu Xiaoye, who acted as a waiter and served everyone drinks, muttered.

"Look at how well we, Xiao Ye, can talk!" Shi Quan said happily.

"In short, the bad weather has nothing to do with my half a ruble." Big Ivan frowned and refused to admit it.

"You still have the nerve to say it?"

Elena, who was lying on another chair next to Shiquan, took off her glasses and said, "Since I joined the club, almost every adventure you take part in has bad weather."

"Elena, actually it started when I joined the club." He Tianlei, who was further away, was using the small fish in his hand to lure the frigate birds down and said with a smile.

"Actually, it started when he and I were in high school."

Nasha, who was sitting next to Big Ivan, smiled and said, "I still remember that when Ivan and I had our first date at the Armory Museum near Red Square, we were caught in a heavy rainstorm that lasted for half a day."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Big Ivan, and saw that this guy had put on his earphones at some point and was twitching to the music, but the plug of the earphone cable was shaking and tapping on the deck.

this...

Shi Quan thought for a while, and finally picked up his mobile phone and took a video and sent it to everyone, including Da Iwan.

Amid everyone's laughter, Big Ivan awkwardly took off his headphones, pointed to the sea and successfully changed the subject, "Look, it looks like your Chinese escort warship over there."

"Why is this escort warship here?" Liu Xiaoye looked at the Maldives behind him and said stupidly, "It doesn't look like he is on vacation."

"Let's go home. I guess I'll catch up with them just in time to complete the escort mission."

He Tianlei raised his binoculars and said, "Good guy, there is a fleet of boats following behind. The two at the top are 052s, right? What model is the one behind?"

Shi Quan took the telescope handed over by Elena, looked at it, and said with a smile, "One 052C, one 054A, and the one behind is the 903A supply ship. This should be to complete some kind of visit mission. If we go home, the one behind

Those merchant ships must be following us even more closely."

"How did you see it?" He Tianlei asked curiously.

"If nothing else works, we can still tell the difference between our own ships."

Shi Quan returned the telescope to Elena, "Anyway, my father was also an upright old navy man when he was young. Although we could only hang out in the pond in front of our house at that time, it didn't affect his old man who fooled me every day.

Go be a navy man."

"If nothing else, you Chinese people are really rich..." Big Ivan said sourly, smacking his lips while holding up the telescope.

"What's this? You haven't seen the 055 drive yet. It's more exciting than this!"

Shi Quan deliberately ran against Ivan the Great. Isn't this a run? The Russian navy now relies on demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, plus cheating, robbery, and their poor and ruthless hooliganism to maintain their dignity.

In other words, their navy's stamina can't be said to be lacking, but it's not much better than the three-yuan bottle of cowardly music.

But in the past few years, my family has been smashing dumplings like bald dumplings with so many big ships. It is different. Even if the combat power may not be comparable for the time being, the stamina is terrifying. Not to mention far away, at least in front of my home.

Among monkeys of different species, fewer and fewer have dared to explode their thorns in the past two years.

Elena handed the phone to Shi Quan, "Would you like to say hello? You should be able to call from this distance."

"Forget it, let's wait until our own boat is launched into the water." Shi Quan waved his hand and refused. This public channel at sea is not for chatting. Someone who falls into the water and is in danger may rely on this channel to save his life.

"Speaking of this, we have been drifting at sea for almost 20 days. Even if we are just trying to hide our whereabouts, we won't waste such a long time. Do you have any other plans?"

After all, Big Ivan and Shi Quan have worked together for several years, and the tacit understanding and understanding they should have are not bad at all. He does not believe that a little Ourika or Alfonso can scare him into thinking that he will start from Vladivostok.

Hiding on the boat.

Shi Quan glanced at Big Ivan, nodded happily and admitted, "I will take this opportunity to let you experience the feeling of sailing on the sea. If nothing else happens, when the incident at the sulfur camp is over, the boat will probably be gone too."

It’s time to go into the water, but I don’t want you to spit out your bile on the new boat and make people laugh.”

"You mean, that U-boat can move?" Big Ivan asked in surprise.

"How can it be so fast? At least we have to wait until we can sail the ship by ourselves." Shi Quan had a headache when he mentioned this, "We haven't even gathered the crew yet."

"You should consider this matter yourself, Captain Yuri." Big Ivan held down Nasha who was about to say something, and kicked the ball to Shi Quan in one sentence.

The biggest advantage of this rough guy Big Ivan is that he knows his position, and he will never say a word about anyone who shouldn't be involved. Don't forget, that icebreaker is Shi Quan's private property and has nothing to do with the club.

Therefore, it is natural for Shi Quan to decide who will board the ship.

Naturally, Shi Quan knew what Big Iwan was saying, but there were only seven people in the club now. Even if you include the three mechanics sisters and Haining, there were only eleven people. There was still a gap of six people.

Who should these six people look for is something he has been thinking about for the past half month. Although he already has a rough candidate, whether the other party is willing to come is another matter.

Putting these troubles behind him, Shi Quan once again raised his telescope and looked at the warships that were getting closer and bigger, and his expectations for his ship became more and more full.

Since entering the Arabian Sea, as we get closer and closer to the Gulf of Aden, naval vessels from various countries on the sea have appeared more and more frequently. As for the Somali pirates that everyone in the club has been waiting for for a long time, they are fewer than three-legged toads.

But this is normal. Even Big Ivan wants to practice with these pirates, not to mention the escort navies of various countries. After all, there are only so many pirates. Everyone has a share. Those who arrive late may not even be able to share a pair of underpants.

"One day we will enter the Gulf of Aden and arrive in Djibouti. Why haven't these pirates come yet?"

Big Ivan was holding the sniper grenade gun that Lao Hu gave them with an impatient look on his face. Ever since the captain warned on the ship's radio channel to enter high-risk waters, he and Asak came to the stern deck and waited with guns in hand.

, let alone pirates, not even a dolphin was seen in this damn place.

"It's a good idea not to come, and you can save some bullets."

Asak, who is also holding a sniper grenade gun, has a completely different mentality. For him, a herdsman who grew up in the Arctic Circle, having the opportunity to bask in the sea near the equator is definitely a memorable event.

, so in the past few days, he has actually been taking crazy selfies with his mobile phone, preparing to show it to his parents and wife when he returns home.

The two strong men in the team each had their own ideas, while the three girls hid in the room and studied skin care together. It looked like they didn't take pirates seriously at all.

However, with the help of driver Xiao Liu, the brothers Shi Quan and He Tianlei got the opportunity to enter the driving command cabin to observe and learn.

"Xiao Shi, are your men good at fighting?" The middle-aged captain held up his binoculars and asked in Mandarin with a strong Ludian accent.

"What's wrong, Captain Huang?"

Shi Quan, who was originally staring at the chart, straightened up and picked up his binoculars to take a look. Unfortunately, there was nothing on the channel except a few small fishing boats.

Wait, small fishing boat? Shi Quan turned the telescope back to the previous direction.

"See?"

Captain Huang put the telescope back in place, "I have been running on this route for seven or eight years. Whether these big black fish are serious fishermen or just waiting to feed the fish, you can tell at a glance.

The boat must be targeting us."

As if to verify the authenticity of Captain Huang's inverted sentence, the fishing boats suddenly lowered the four speedboats in unison, and a dozen old black men who were still pretending to fish rushed straight towards him in four boats.

I saw this cargo ship at the foot of Shiquan.

"Captain Huang, how do you usually deal with these pirates?" Shi Quan asked curiously.

"How else can we deal with it?"

Captain Huang pointed around, "As long as no one sees you, kill those who can be killed. Try not to let them get close. If they get close, don't let them board the ship."

"That's easy to say."

Shi Quan bumped He Tianlei with his shoulder, "Come on, brother, let's go try out those new weapons."

The two brothers greeted each other in the club's own channel and ran to the back deck. By the time they arrived, Big Ivan had already loaded the ammunition belts on the two PKP machine guns he had brought.

"Say yes first!"

Big Ivan pointed at the stern of the boat and the speedboats that were getting closer and closer on both sides, "We four brothers are each responsible for a boat. We decide whether to kill or injure ourselves, but we can't rob others. I have been waiting for them all day."
