When the last brass shell in the shotgun hit the floor, the last two engine crew members in the cabin at the engine room door obediently lay in a pool of blood.
"Kacha, kacha, kacha"
In the dim cabin, Wei Ran slowly reloaded the trench gun in his hand with bullets, then took off the small copper pieces from the four corpses inside and outside the door and put them into his pockets, and finally replaced them with an anti-Japanese sword.
, carefully chopped off four dog heads, picked up the sack again and walked into the engine room.
After some observation, he found the oil pipeline. After placing the sack nearby, he turned around and left. When passing by the warehouse, he cut off the heads of the two guards and took away the small copper pieces belonging to them.
Quickly returning upstairs, Hugo and Valoro were sitting at the door of the stairwell. The former had a cigarette in his mouth, and the latter was sucking on his pipe.
"How many have been solved?" Hugo asked in a puff of anger.
"six"
Wei Ran took a blood-stained cigarette from the other party and lit it. He took a sip and asked, "Why did you shoot? How many did you kill?"
"Four"
Hugo paused and continued, "The last two found us, and they had whale guns in their hands."
"What to do next?" Wei Ran asked nonchalantly.
"Of course I ran away."
Hugo gave a free and easy answer, "But before that, we'd better get rid of all these corpses. I just discussed with Valoro, Victor, we plan to keep the captain, first mate, second mate,
The bodies of the mate, third mate, chief engineer and first engineer were used to create the illusion that the boatswain led the sailors to mutiny."
"How to do it specifically?" Wei Ran asked following the other party's words.
"Just sink the bodies of the bosun and the rest of the sailors into the sea."
Hugo paused and said with a headache, "I'm still going to blow up the turbine, but it's best to blow it up after we get ashore. This can help us divert some of our attention."
"I'll take care of this," Wei Ran said first, "I have a way."
“Then I’ll leave it to you.”
Hugo was extraordinarily straightforward, "Varolo, Karan, and I are responsible for disposing of the corpses. I plan to throw all the corpses except the captain into the cold storage."
"I have opened the warehouse door"
Wei Ran dipped his cigarette butt in a pool of blood and put it in his pocket to remind him, "In addition, I have opened the safe in the captain's cabin in advance, and there is a tin bucket that seems to contain gray amber in the room temperature warehouse."
"Those sailors must have a lot of valuable things on them."
Valoro clicked his pipe and said, "We can take them all away. We don't know how long we will have to hide. We will definitely need money."
"I'll leave these to you, but remember to wait for me when you kill the captain. I want to take pictures."
Wei Ran pointed to the camera slung under his arm and added in a mocking tone - "Use the camera Captain Fernando gave me to record it."
"We will wait for you, Mr. Photographer." Before Hugo could finish his words, he had already stood up holding on to the handrail of the stairs.
Seeing this, Wei Ran also walked towards the cabin where the four of them once lived, "Where can we meet later?"
"Aft upper deck"
Hugo added as he walked, "At that whale's head, since our captain likes to take pictures with the whales he caught with his own hands, we will help him take a few more pictures."
"See you soon" Wei Ran said and quickened his pace.
All the way back to their cabin, Wei Ran took out the small copper pieces from his pocket and looked at them. Then he sighed with satisfaction, put them into the gas mask bag, and then took out the tube of film and held it in his palm.
, he put the tattoo of the tiger's mouth on his left hand on his forehead and secretly begged before putting it into the bag together.
Slinging the satchel across his shoulder, Wei Ran returned to the engine room in a familiar manner. After some observation, he took out a roll of fishing line he bought while shopping in Sydney and used it with the fuses.
Explosives, propellants, etc. were used to create a trip mine.
The only special thing is that when the fishing line was first set up, it passed through the narrow gap in the middle of a plate of mosquito coils.
In the previous few days of experiments, Weiyan had already calculated that it would take eight to eight and a half hours to burn out all the mosquito coils. This time was enough for them to take the boat with the ship.
The external transport boat returned to shore.
Without rushing to light the mosquito coils, Weiyan reunited with Valoro, Hugo and Karan, who was retching, and first threw the headless bodies of the first mate, second mate, third mate, chief engineer and first engineer into the tank.
Then the rest of the carcasses, together with the iron barrels originally used to contain spermaceti oil found in the cargo hold, were sent to the upper deck at the stern of the ship.
Of course, Nagatsuka Joeji, who had dislocated his limbs and jaw, was also sent here, and he was specially placed near the whale's remaining head.
There was no discussion at all. The four of them placed the iron buckets one after another in front of Nagatsuka Joeji in a tacit understanding. They first used an ax to cut several fist-sized gaps around the iron buckets, and then put some inside.
Heavy metal objects such as steel cables or wrenches found around.
Finally, they stuffed the stripped, headless corpses inside and carefully tightened the metal lid with bolts.
"Plop!"
In the night, amid the splashing water, Valoro and Hugo worked together to lift the first oil barrel with a winch and threw it outside the ship's side. In the flashlight beam, spray and bubbles, it sank to the bottom of the sea.
After looking at each other with satisfaction, Wei Ran walked to Nagatsuka Joeji, untied the belt from his mouth, took away the rag from his mouth, and then dislocated the opponent with a crisp sound.
The chin returned to its original shape.
Amidst the old devil's screams, Hugo and Valoro had already thrown the second oil drum out.
"Why..." Nagatsuka asked hoarsely after letting him recover.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Isn't the answer in your photo album?"
While Wei Ran was talking, he had already thrown the two headless corpses with their clothes ripped off into the oil drum that Karan had just put a bag of large bolts into. Karan, whose face was a little pale, also pursed his lips tightly.
, put a lid on the full and leaky iron bucket, and with the help of Wei Ran, and under the silent gaze of Nagatsuka Joeji, he tightened the bolts that locked the lid.
Seeing that Nagatsuka Joeji didn't speak again, Wei Ran didn't bother to talk too much with him. He picked up the headless corpses and stuffed them into the oil drums again and again. Some of them couldn't be packed, and he didn't even mind looking at Karan's horrified gaze.
He cut off the protruding limbs and stuffed them into the gaps in the oil drum. His bloody and callous operation obviously reminded Nagatsuka Joeji of something.
It took a full two hours to send the boatswain and his sailors all on oil barrels to start a one-way underwater sightseeing trip. The only things left on the deck at this time were more than half of the barrels of human heads, and
A pile of rags.
They put the clothes into the iron bucket, sealed the lid and put it aside. The four of them took a short rest, first mixed various metal objects they found into most of the bucket, filled it, closed the lid and locked it, and then placed it in the bucket.
Under Wei Ran's suggestion, he also put it aside.
While Valoro and the frightened Karan began to search all over the ship for all kinds of valuable things that could be easily taken away.
Hugo and Wei Ran used the chisels they found to drill three holes the size of bottle caps in the bottom of three of the only four traffic boats in the ship, and removed the iron buckets containing clothes.
and iron buckets containing human heads, tied with ropes to the cabins of two of the traffic boats.
After being fully prepared, Hugo ran to the command room, while Wei Ran got into the captain's room again.
In such a short time, the captain's cabin has been turned upside down. All the cabinets and drawers have been rummaged through. Especially on the desk, there are two photo albums. At this time, Karan is gritting his teeth and looking at
Looking at the photos inside, Valoro was busy putting the banknotes in the safe into the canvas pocket in his hand.
He walked into the messy darkroom that had also been turned over. Among the garbage on the floor, he picked up the small items that were once stored in the safe into a cloth bag.
"Brother Victor"
Just when Wei Ran was about to leave the room, Karan, who was already crying, stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran asked, turning to look at Karan with red eyes.
"The captain likes photography, right?" Karan pointed around, "These photos must be his most proud works, right? Especially those two."
Following the other person's fingers, he looked at the two extra photo frames on the wall. Among the two photo frames hanging in a prominent position, there was a photo taken by Wei Ran, a photo of Nagatsuka Joeji operating a whaling cannon, and another photo of Nagatsuka Joeji operating a whale cannon.
One picture was taken by Nagatsuka Joeji himself, showing the moment when the whale jumped out of the water.
"You're right." Wei Ran nodded.
"I want to destroy these photos," Karan said, "and let the executioner feel what it feels like to lose the most important thing!"
"What do you need me to do?" Wei Ran asked happily.
"Can you also make a timer here?" Karan asked, "I want to burn this place down after we leave."
"no problem"
Wei Ran readily agreed, and after some observation he said, "Go find some kerosene, and then find two thermoses."
"I'll go right away!" Karan said and ran out of the room.
"Did you make it so bloody on purpose?" Valoro, who had been silent just now, waited until Karan ran out of the room and then asked in a low voice.
"Aren't you the same?" Wei Ran dropped the topic again.
Valoro smiled, "I just don't want Karan to think that killing is a beautiful thing, so I made it a little more bloody and let him have nightmares for a few more days. This is better than turning him into a demon like in the photo."
It’s much better.”
Valoro sat on the safe and lit the pipe that was originally attached to his waist. "We all survived that war by luck. We all know that war is so cruel. It's just that we and our partners were very unfortunate.
It's just a more cruel enemy.
But all we need is revenge. Revenge is not something worth enjoying, nor will we gain happiness at all. It is just something we must do."
Having said this, Valoro casually threw something to Wei Ran, "I'll leave it to you as a souvenir! Victor, my friend, no matter who you have lost, I hope you can calm down.
Even if it is for a more perfect revenge, you should be calmer."
"They deserve to be killed"
Wei Ran responded in a hoarse voice, and then looked at the thing thrown by the other party. It was a necklace, a necklace pierced with the upper beak of a blue bird of paradise. Not long ago, it was still hanging on a large tree.
The necklace around the deputy’s neck!
"Don't you know how to give away necklaces from your tribe?" Wei Ran asked jokingly.
"You defeated the first mate, so it should be your trophy."
Valoro clicked his pipe and said, "Besides, the original owner of this necklace is no longer there, and he has no family left. Even if I take this necklace back to the tribe, I don't know who to give it to."
"I will keep it well," Wei Ran said, hanging the patinated necklace around his neck.
"Hopefully it will bless you, and hopefully it will keep you calm."
After Valoro finished speaking, he took the initiative to change the topic, raised his hand and pointed to a cabinet that he had pried open and asked, "Victor, how about helping me choose a camera? I also want to try to be a photographer.
There are many beautiful scenery around my tribe."
"You want to be a photographer?" Wei Ran looked at Valoro in surprise.
"I have to take something with me as a souvenir, right?" Valoro spread his hands and showed a particularly conspicuous white teeth with a smile.
Hearing this, Wei Ran walked over to the pried open cabinet. There were a lot of things inside. In addition to various models of cameras, there were also many lenses placed in different categories.
After looking around, he pulled out a square-looking brown hard leather bag with the Leica logo imprinted on it.
Opening this leather bag, in addition to a silver Leica m3, there are several lenses and accessories such as light meters, as well as a card congratulating Nagatsuka Joeji on his 4th birthday.
However, just like the "48th birthday gift" given to him by Nagatsuka Joeji not long ago, this Leica also showed no signs of use. He even suspected that the square leather bag had not been opened.
Passed several times.
"That's it"
Wei Ran buttoned up the leather camera bag and handed it to Valoro, "There is nothing more suitable than this Leica. It is a very good machine."
"That's it," Valoro said with satisfaction after making some gestures, "it just fits in my bag."
"You can also take away the rest of the cameras and lenses," Wei Ran pointed to the cabinet behind him and said, "These cameras and lenses are worth a lot of money."
"It looks like we can run a photo studio when we go back."
As Valoro spoke, he had already picked up the canvas bag containing a lot of cash. Following Wei Ran's suggestion, he wrapped the cameras and lenses in torn blankets and put them inside.
He had just finished his work here when Karan ran over carrying a bucket of kerosene for the ship's lights and two thermoses.
After some observation, Wei Ran filled two thermoses with kerosene, hung one of them with fishing line, and tied a plate of mosquito-repellent incense. At the same time, he also set up a plate of mosquito-repellent incense on the carpet directly below and sprinkled it.
I bought some remaining propellant from the engine room and matches found in the room.
Karan is definitely a smart young man. He just looked at it once and figured out the principle. He carried another thermos filled with kerosene to the darkroom and tied it to the drying rope directly above the room.
The same arrangement was made.
Seeing this, Wei Ran sighed secretly. He already knew why future generations could not find that crucial roll of negatives.
Before Karan could personally arrange the timed arson device that could be ignited at any time, Wei Ran carried the inconspicuous cloth bag alone, returned to the stern deck, sat cross-legged in front of Nagatsuka Joeji, and put out the contents of the bag.
Things were taken out one by one and placed on the deck covered in blood.
Just like Karan was preparing to burn down the captain's cabin, Wei Ran also wanted to destroy the things he cherished most in front of Nagatsuka Joeji - as punishment.
