It's late at night.

The air is a bit dull. The purple moon is covered by clouds tonight, and even the stars are gone.

The Pearl Bamogo is still sailing on the sea.

In the pitch-black environment, searchlights seemed to be the only source of light.

In the cockpit, the captain and first mate stood in front of the glass window.

The captain was wearing a hat, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and stared out the window with narrowed eyes. The short-haired first mate beside him said softly:

"Captain Hayden, the weather seems a little bad, and there is a high possibility of a storm."

The first mate took out a chart and pointed to a location.

"One hundred and twenty nautical miles to the northwest is the Port of Bello in the town of Deret. Should we go there first and dock there and wait one night?"

"no."

Captain Hayden took a long drag on his cigarette and glanced at the first mate.

"We have just set sail and docked for one night. Where did we get so much time... The Hailing Regiment's annual sea festival is coming soon, and the priest of Zamora is waiting for us to deliver these sea treasures to him.

Perhaps that lord also wants to take advantage of the Imperial Celebration Day to give these sea treasures as gifts to the prince."

He blew out the smoke, held the cigarette between his fingers, and then said in a deep voice:

"It can't be because of us that something big has happened, otherwise no one will be able to afford it... No matter whether there is a storm or not, we will sail as planned. I, Hayden, have encountered a lot of wind and waves in my life. Will I still be able to sink in a storm offshore?"

Can’t make it?”

"But……"

The first mate's expression was hesitant.

Captain Hayden patted his shoulder comfortingly and said confidently:

"Relax, the money you make on this trip is dozens of times more than usual. You can retire and go home after this trip... Didn't you meet a girl before? Get married after you return, I will do it myself

Officiating the wedding for you."

The first mate smiled a little shyly after hearing this.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard a thunderous explosion.

Rumble!

Bursts of thunder flashed in the sky outside the ship, and electric snakes crawled across the dark night in the distance, making it look like day in an instant!

Woohoo!

A strong wind came suddenly and swept past, causing even the hull of the ship to sway.

The hanging oil lamp in the cockpit clanged, and the first officer's expression changed drastically.

"Captain Hayden! The storm is coming!"

The captain's face also looked a little solemn. He dropped the cigarette butt and stamped it out with his boot.

Then he said to the first mate:

"Go and notify the second mate and third mate to direct the men to lower the sails and increase the coal supply in the boiler room... In addition, send some men to ask the passengers who are wandering outside at the moment to return to their cabins to avoid any accidents."

"Yes, Captain Hayden, I understand."

The first mate hurriedly opened the hatch and rushed out.

At this moment, the sky has begun to rain, carried by the strong wind, and splashing on the deck... Many gentlemen and ladies were caught off guard by the sudden storm. They exclaimed, cursed, got soaked all over, and had no image.

He left in a hurry.

Chen Lun was still standing on the edge of the deck, holding an umbrella on the guardrail and standing quietly.

At this time, he was the only passenger left on the deck.

Chen Lun raised his head slightly and looked at the rain.

'It's a bit strange...this storm came too suddenly, is it my imagination?'

Then, he turned around and looked around, staring at the dead, dark sea.

His spiritual intuition told him that something was approaching.

"Sir! Sir! Please get off the deck quickly and go back to the cabin to take refuge. It's too dangerous here!"

A sailor hurried over and shouted to Chen Lun.

The rain was so heavy that the sailors' shouts were mostly muffled.

Chen Lun nodded to the sailor, and then walked slowly towards the side hatch.

The sailor looked at his back and felt that this gentleman was a little strange. He didn't seem to be panicked at all... Moreover, the rain did not stain his clothes. Although he was holding an umbrella, the rain was not heavy.

Not even a drop of water will touch it!

Chen Lun did not step into the cabin door, but pinned on the [Black Pattern Cufflinks] and returned to the deck.

He wanted to see what was targeting this ship.

This time, under the cover of darkness, Chen Lun's movements did not attract the attention of the sailors.

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the other side of the deck. Although the sound was drowned by the storm, Chen Lun was still keen to capture the subtle movement. He frowned slightly and walked towards that side.

Bang bang!

Immediately afterwards, there were several more gunshots.

"Monster! There is a monster! Poseidon above, what the hell is this?!"

Chen Lun approached the area where the battle took place, and at a glance he saw several sailors following a leader, holding flintlock guns and harpoons, fighting a "weird man" covered in fish scales.

The fishman was shot twice in the chest, and his arm was pierced by a harpoon. Blue-green blood flowed out. However, it did not run away. Instead, it became ferocious. It rushed forward quickly and tackled a sailor.

He fell down, tore open his face and abdomen with two claws, and then opened his mouth to bite.

The sailor screamed, but his companions slowed down and could only watch him being bitten to death.

Bang!!

There was another gunshot.

A bloody hole burst open in the fishman's head, blue-green dirty juice sprayed out, and he immediately fell to the ground.

Captain Hayden, wearing a leather beret, strode from the other end, holding a revolver in his hand and shouting at the others with a solemn expression:

"Don't be stunned! There are other fins boarding the ship! You go to the lower level to inspect, and if you find any abnormalities, inform others immediately!"

"Yes...yes! Captain Hayden!"

The sailors left one after another.

Their original leader was the third officer of the Pearl Bamogo. This man walked up to the captain and said in a deep voice:

"Captain, this is too abnormal. We are only sailing offshore. These extraordinary creatures should not be targeting us..."

"You are right, I suspect they were attracted by others."

Captain Hayden nodded.

The third officer frowned, as if he thought of something, and whispered:

"Is it for us to secretly transport that batch of Haizhen?"

The captain looked thoughtful.

On the surface, the Pearl Bamogo is a passenger ship, but it is only used to cover up people's eyes... It is actually a ship specially designed to transport secret cargo to the Hai Ling Regiment.

They belong to the Moses Voyage Company, and behind this shipping group is the Hailing Group.

"It's not impossible... but most people won't know this news. I suspect that someone from that organization is behind this incident... If that's the case, it will be troublesome!"

Captain Hayden said solemnly.

The expressions on the three faces changed slightly.

"You mean...'Hand of Bollier'?"

Captain Hayden nodded.

He immediately said:

"Now is not the time for small talk. Please bring some people to guard the door of the captain's cabin. If you encounter a finman who sneaks into the cabin, shoot him directly... Even if you accidentally injure those guests, you must not let the goods be lost!"

"Yes, Captain."

The third mate wiped the rain off his face, turned around and went down the side to the hatch.

In fact, Captain Hayden still has a secret in his heart that he has not told anyone.

That is, the transportation of Haizhen this time was actually accompanied by escorts from the Moses Voyage Headquarters. They were all extraordinary people, but they hid their identities and hid in the cabin pretending to be passengers.

If things continue to get worse, then they will take action.

So the captain was not too worried.
To be continued...
