Liu Xing looked at the desperate crew members around him, his heart ached like a knife, and he sighed in his heart, shaking his head in silence.
What are you most afraid of when sailing?
What I fear most is meeting these inhumane pirates.
These pirates do all kinds of evil. They stay on the island all day long and make a living by robbing. It would be fine if they just rob money, but they also captured everyone. What is the purpose of this?
Liu Xing couldn't imagine it at all, and he didn't want to imagine it, because he knew these pirates too well, and they had many cruel methods. They were simply beasts in human form.
Are you going to die in this sea today?
Liu Xing felt desperate and unwilling.
At this time, a young crew member next to Liu Xing noticed the captain's worry, walked over and said confidently: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, our motherland will definitely come to save us."
"motherland?"
When Liu Xing heard this word, his heart trembled slightly. The motherland sent troops to rescue us? Is it possible?
How is that possible?
The next second, Liu Xing shook his head gently, directly denying his own idea and what the crew member said.
This is not within the Yan Kingdom, and it is impossible for the country to send troops to the sea for just two merchant ships.
Of course, if this matter happened in China, Liu Xing knew that the country would definitely take care of it and handle it quickly.
But that's not necessarily the case here. After all, this is outside the country. Once a country sends troops, it will involve invading other countries' maritime sovereignty issues and will inevitably lead to military wars between countries.
In Liu Xing's view, the value of his two merchant ships was not worthy of the country's use of military power to take risks.
Seeing that Mr. Liu still looked desperate, the young man continued to comfort him and said: "Mr. Liu, I believe that the motherland will never give up on us. Let's wait a little longer."
Liu Xing took a deep breath and said calmly: "Don't have extravagant expectations. Will our small merchant ship attract the attention of the country? Besides, the motherland may not know that something happened to us. Even if they knew, it would take at least half a day to send someone over.
It’s simply too late.”
"When these pirates want ransom, they will definitely establish their authority first. When they are drunk and agree on the share, they will definitely kill people. You see, those guns are not there. They are all live ammunition. One bullet can kill a person's head.
It blew up."
hiss!
After listening to Mr. Liu's words, the young man glanced at the pirates and stared at the black rifle. He couldn't help but gasped a few times and shuddered all over.
gun!
Mr. Liu is right. These pirates carry guns with them. These are not ordinary pirates. If they take action, they will not be able to compete with these pirates. In addition, there are so many people on the sea, and there is no basic possibility of escape.
There is no sex.
These pirates also dared to rob merchant ships so boldly because they had firearms. If these pirates really went crazy and used guns, the consequences would be disastrous.
In an instant, the young man's mind flashed back to the news reports where he had seen scenes of pirates snatching goods and killing people, and he couldn't help but panic.
"What should we do? Does the country really not care about us? No, it's impossible."
Thinking of this, the young crew member stood there with a look of horror, but the next second, he still shook his head vigorously and said firmly: "No, Mr. Liu, I believe that our motherland is different from other countries. They often emphasize that overseas
, the motherland is standing behind us, they will definitely send troops to save us, really, I have this hunch, believe me, believe in our motherland."
"And for such a big thing, news must have been exposed. Our motherland must have received the news and sent people to rescue us."
Mr. Liu listened and suddenly became very impatient. He said coldly: "How to expose it? This is not our country's sea area, and there is no monitoring point, and our rescue information cannot be sent out. How to notify? How does the country know that we are in distress?
Already."
This is exactly what happened. When they met the pirates, the pirates had confiscated all their communication equipment and completely lost contact with the outside world. Otherwise, they would have called the police.
The young crew member listened to Mr. Liu's words and was unmoved, but still shook his head with a firm attitude and said: "No, our motherland will know, it may be satellite photography, or it may be those agents, undercover...
…”
Liu Xing looked at the young man, shook his head helplessly, and said: "What the hell... you have watched too many TV and movies. This is reality. Where did the undercover come from? This is a pirate island."
When they heard the conversation between Liu Xing and the young crew member, the other crew members in the cage started talking about it.
"No matter what, we also believe that the motherland will definitely send someone to save us."
"Yes, the motherland never gives up on anyone. Someone will definitely come to save us."
"Our country is no longer what it was 100 years ago. People can bully them at will. Whether inside or outside the country, the country will not ignore it..."
There were both men and women among these people, and they all stated that the country would send people to rescue them. There was hope on their faces when they spoke.
This is their trust and expectation for the country.
When they all agreed that with the strength of their motherland, these pirates would not dare to violently attack them, suddenly a rough voice came.
"You go over to the wooden cage and bring the women among the hostages over and drink with us."
This guy spoke English, and all the crew members at the scene could understand it. In an instant, everyone's face turned green.
These things that are inferior to animals actually want to attack the most vulnerable women!
ah!
The crew members at the scene all clenched their fists and looked in the direction of the pirates, their eyes full of anger.
"What should I do? I don't want to go there, who can save us..."
A girl in the crowd was so frightened that she sat on the ground and started crying.
As women, if the pirates asked them to accompany the pirates, they must know what kind of consequences they would face. It would be an insult that would be worse than death.
"No, I will never let you pass. Even if it means death, we must resist to the end."
A man next to the girl said as if he was dead.
"Yes, let's unite and never let them harm our female compatriots."
"Yes, even if we die, we must die together and die with dignity."
In an instant, all the male crew members in the wooden cage came together and blocked the door of the cage tightly, surrounding all the women inside.
You know, there are not many women on the ship, only four or five in total, but they are all family members of the crew.
Although these crew members knew very well that it would be difficult to save these women, they still looked at death with an attitude of resignation.
