Lu Xiaobei wants to be an ordinary person, but he is destined to walk a rough road in his life. No one can save him because he is in too deep.
The stowaway cruise ship set sail from Shandong, China, passed through Japan, and then crossed the Pacific Ocean and docked in San Francisco, USA. During this period, there were ships that could reach the United States at a speed of 20 knots and could reach the United States in half a month, but there were no stowaway boats that could not
Such a flamboyant voyage proceeds slowly, so the whole journey takes about a month.
Traveling at sea is an extremely painful thing, especially being locked in a cabin for hundreds of days and only being able to come out at night to relax, which makes people physically and mentally exhausted.
The whole day was chaotic on the boat, and I was looking forward to staying on the boat for a little longer when it got dark.
Ever since there was a conflict with the boss on the ship and Yao Xia reported his name, the boss and the mercenaries on the ship did not come down and even did not open the deck door for several days. Many stowaways in the cabin were feeling miserable.
No more, the humid air was mixed with an unbearable stench.
Lu Xiaobei's clothes had never been changed and were covered with sweat. He couldn't do it in the humid environment of the cabin. Yao Xia also looked very haggard, his face was pale, and his eyes had lost their original heroic spirit.
"Are you okay?" Lu Xiaobei asked, seeing that Yao Xia's lips were dry and peeling.
"It's okay, I haven't drank water for a day and I'm thirsty." Yao Xia said.
"Why don't you drink water?" Lu Xiaobei asked.
"After finishing the drink, the mercenaries on the ship have not come down to deliver water for four or five days. All the water stored in the ship is gone. It is estimated that half of the people in the cabin have no water to drink.
Lu Xiaobei took out his kettle, which still had two glasses of water in it. He handed it to Yao Xia and said, "Drink these quickly."
Yao Xia unceremoniously picked up the kettle and put it in his mouth, not even letting go of the last drop. Yao Xia finished drinking the water and felt much better. At this time, a child of thirteen or fourteen came over and asked
: "Brother, sister, do you still have water? My mother has been thirsty for two days..."
Lu Xiaobei looked at his kettle. Yao Xia drank it completely empty. There was no water at all. He said sheepishly: "No more."
"It's not an option if we continue like this. Do they want to starve us to death?" an older man in his thirties said angrily next to him.
Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia exchanged glances, and Yao Xia understood. The two stood up together and walked up the stairs. The stairs were the only channel from the cabin to the outer deck, but now the wooden door on the deck was tightly closed with a chain on it.
Locked.
Lu Xiaobei kicked it a few times, shook his head with Yao Xia, and said, "No, it's too strong and can't be kicked open."
The mercenary outside heard the commotion inside, came over with a grenade gun, and shouted: "Don't fuck around, just stay still!"
"Here you go, we haven't delivered water for several days. We are almost dying of thirst!"
"If you die, die. Now we have reached the waters under the jurisdiction of the United States. There are American warships in and out. I can't let you out in the past few days. You all have to endure it. We will arrive in about a week."
"Fuck, we'll all be damned inside within a week! You took the money and didn't care whether we were dead or not!" Lu Xiaobei continued to shout.
At this time, several mercenaries came outside. They took guns and fired two shots at the door panel, hitting two bullet holes and almost hitting Lu Xiaobei. One of the mercenaries shouted: "Damn it, the people inside are
Be honest, or you'll get shot if you don't!"
Lu Xiaobei kicked the door angrily, "I'm kidding you!"
"Xiao Bei, step back." Yao Xia said.
"Back off?" Lu Xiaobei was still confused, but Yao Xia had already escaped the grenade.
"Be careful, don't sink the ship." Lu Xiaobei reminded.
Yao Xia smiled and said: "This is a grenade, not a torpedo. At most, it will blow up his door panel. Please retreat quickly."
Lu Xiaobei obediently retreated downstairs. When everyone saw that Yao Xia was tired from taking out his hand, they all lay on the ground for fear of blowing up themselves. Yao Xia fixed the grenade, pulled the safety, then turned around and ran downstairs.
"Boom!" There was a deafening explosion, and the ship's hull shook, but it was nothing serious. The door panels on the deck were blown to pieces, and the bodies of several mercenaries who were holding guns outside were also blown to pieces and lay on the deck.
He kept moaning.
Lu Xiaobei took out the Swiss army spur and pressed the mechanism on the handle of the dagger. The spur suddenly stretched to half a meter and turned into a dagger. Yao Xia also took out his two guns and the two of them rushed out.
While greeting the people in the cabin, he said: "Anyone who doesn't want to die of thirst in there, rush out!"
As soon as Yao Xia greeted him, there were indeed more than a dozen young men rushing out. They didn't have weapons on them, they just rushed to the wooden boards they picked up from the cabin.
A group of mercenaries heard the commotion and ran over. Each of them held a gun in his hand, released it, and put his index finger on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot, what's going on!" The boss came out with a big belly. When he saw that the door of the cabin where the stowaways were closed was blown open, Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia rushed out again.
When they came out, the captain suddenly felt worried and said, "Why are you making trouble again? Do you really think I am afraid of you?"
"You haven't opened the deck door or brought fresh water inside for several days. Do you want us to die of thirst?" Lu Xiaobei said.
"Now that we have arrived in U.S. waters, the control is too strict and we dare not let you out again," the boss explained.
"If you don't let us out, why don't you even send us water inside?" Lu Xiaobei said harshly.
Night Feng Linlin, I don’t know what time it is, the stars are twinkling in the night sky, and the roar of the cruise ship is heard in silence. The boss leads a group of mercenaries to confront Lu Xiaobei and the others tit for tat.
"There isn't much fresh water on the ship. It will only take you a few days to reach the United States," the captain said.
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Lu Xiaobei's mouth. He glanced at several large wooden barrels placed on the deck. He walked over and opened the lid of the barrel with a dagger. It was full of water. Lu Xiaobei reached out and fished it out.
Put a palmful of water to your mouth and take a sip, fresh water.
"Here, the four big buckets of water are full. Are you telling us there is no water?" Lu Xiaobei said.
"These are the last four buckets of water. If I give them to you, we won't have anything to drink," the boss said.
"What the hell, why are you talking so much nonsense! You mercenaries, there are only about thirty people in total, and there are more than a hundred people in our cabin. One bucket for the four of you will be enough for you!" Lu Xiao
Bei said fiercely.
Yao Xia said to the young men who were following him: "In the back cabin, we are calling for others to come up and drink water."
The boss became anxious and said: "The voyage is at least a week away. If you drink these four buckets of water, what will we use!"
At this time, many people in the cabin came out with kettles. They were very excited when they saw the water source and were about to move. Several mercenaries fired several shots respectively, killing the first few people on the spot. A group of
The stowaways were so frightened that they lay on the deck and did not dare to move.
Yao Xia also took aim and shot four times in an instant, breaking the right arms of the four mercenaries. Almost all of the bullets hit the palms and penetrated into the arms. His marksmanship was superb and there were no mistakes.
"Yao Xia, I know you are a sharpshooter, but can you with two guns defeat the more than thirty grenade guns behind me? Go back to the cabin. If you two want to drink water, come to me.
In the office and two glasses of wine, I advise you not to interfere too much in other people's affairs. I have already given in, stop being aggressive!" said the boss.
"You bully your compatriots and make money from your own compatriots, you are not a human being!" As he said this, Lu Xiaobei rushed forward with anger. Just as several mercenaries were about to open fire, Yao Xia dared to fire in front of them.
After a few shots, a few more mercenaries fell. Lu Xiaobei rushed in front of the boss and said fiercely: "I will let you die today!" After saying that, the dagger pierced the captain's throat.
Go in, the white knife goes in, the red knife comes out, the blade is sharp. Lu Xiaobei grabbed the boss's hair, lifted it up hard, and directly pulled the boss's hair off.
He held the boss's head in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, shouting at a group of mercenaries, "Whoever dares to fucking resist, you are just like him!"
The mercenaries did not dare to move anymore. They were completely frightened by Lu Xiaobei. A short sword could kill the boss in a few seconds. They had never seen such attack power before, and they had never seen it before.
never thought about.
"Everyone put down their guns! Otherwise I will blow you to pieces!" Yao Xia shouted, and then took out another grenade.
More than thirty mercenaries gathered on the deck. They all threw their grenade guns on the ground, and then they were led into the cabin where the stowaways were. The stowaways ran out and moved in.
The cabin on the upper level was in good condition. It had soft beds, fresh water, and even a small restaurant.
Lu Xiaobei threw the boss's body and head into the sea, then found a few large wooden boards and canvas to seal the blasted exit of the lower cabin with wooden boards, canvas and steel nails, and sealed the thirty-odd people.
The mercenaries were completely locked inside, preventing them from coming out until they reached the shore.
Lu Xiaobei walked into the cockpit. The old captain was holding a pipe in his mouth and staring ahead. He heard the gunfire below, but he did not get off. He had been driving this kind of ship for decades. What happened between stowaways and smugglers.
He had nothing to do with anything. He and a few of his sailors were only responsible for sailing the ship.
"Captain, how long does it take to get to the port?"
"Five days." The captain did not raise his head, looking at the dark sea.
"Is there any smoke? Lu Xiaobei asked again.
The first mate next to him handed Lu Xiaobei a cigarette. It was wrapped in big tobacco leaves and was very strong when he smoked it. Yao Xia also walked in, and the first mate handed her another cigarette. Everyone's eyes were looking at the sea...
…
"Is he dead?" the captain asked suddenly. Lu Xiaobei knew that the "him" the captain finally referred to was the man-snake boss.
"Well, I killed him." Lu Xiaobei said while smoking, as if he was talking about something that didn't concern him.
"You're in trouble," the captain said.
"What's the trouble?" Yao Xia asked.
"When we get to the pier in San Francisco, their smuggler group will have contacts coming over. If they know that you killed this boss, they won't let you go. Everyone on this boat may die."
Lu Xiaobei was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not afraid of death."
The old captain raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "Everyone is afraid of death, but everyone will die. If you say you are not afraid of death, you cannot escape to the United States."
"How did you know we were here on the run?" Yao Xia asked.
"You have a domineering air about you. You are not like the ordinary stowaways who come to the United States to seek gold. You two must have your own story, and it is extraordinary. Be prepared. In five days, if we
Once you get to the shore safely, you will definitely face a fight with the contact person of the smuggling group here. I can't help you, so you can take care of yourself."
"Thank you." After saying this, Lu Xiaobei took Yao Xia out of the cockpit.
The two of them were sitting on the deck. It was windy and a bit cold. Yao Xia wiped his pistol with a piece of canvas, and Lu Xiaobei wiped his Swiss Army thorn.
"Lu Xiaobei, what can you do?" The method Yao Xia mentioned was the method to deal with the contact person of the smuggling group.
Lu Xiaobei glanced at the three small inflatable yachts on the boat and said, "There is a way."
On the ship, after another four days, many people could vaguely see the mountains in the distance in the morning. Everyone knew that the United States was coming, and everyone had experienced this extraordinary trip.
I think they will remember this trip for the rest of their lives.
In the captain's cabin, Lu Xiaobei asked for a nautical chart of the west coast of the United States. Then he stole an AK-47 automatic rifle and a box of ammunition from the sailor's cabin.
Walking to the deck, Yao Xia had just packed up her luggage and walked out, saying, "Xiao Bei, I lost all my luggage. I have brought everything I should have brought with me. What should we do now?"
Lu Xiaobei took two life jackets and put them on himself and Yao Xia. Then he untied a light inflatable lifeboat tied to the hull and inflated it. The two of them threw the lifeboat from the boat.
sea.
Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia jumped directly from the ship to the lifeboat. Each of them picked up two oars and rowed in the direction of San Francisco. Many people on the cruise ship did not understand what they were doing. Looking at a lonely
The small boat got further and further away from the big ship, and finally disappeared into the sea.
Although the two boats were heading for San Francisco, they were not heading for the same dock. There would be contacts from the smuggling group in Ma Tou where the big boat went. If they met them, Lu Xiaobei and Yao Xia would definitely be in trouble, so
Lu Xiaobei thought of a way not to dock with the big ship. The two rowed a boat and landed on another coast in San Francisco.
Lu Xiaobei and his small lifeboat hadn't sailed very far when they were spotted by a small patrol boat of the US Navy.
Yao Xia took a telescope, looked back, and said nervously: "Xiao Bei, we ran into the US Navy! They are chasing us!"
