On the beach of an uninhabited island in the Malaysian archipelago, there is a "fishing boat" covered with fishing nets parked. Several sturdy men are guarding the boat, using binoculars to observe the ships passing by in the distance.
This is Liu Minghui's foothold. As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Since he offended the Las Vegas gambling tycoon, he has arranged a total of five or six temporary hiding places like this one in the South China Sea.
There is no fresh water on this island, so no one usually comes here. Liu Minghui didn't make much arrangements. He just built a few wooden houses in places beyond the eyesight of the sea for accommodation.
Although the place is very simple, sleeping on a boat all day long is not very pleasant, especially a small boat. The bumps are not something ordinary people can bear. Liu Minghui is not young anymore, so he would rather take some risks and must live there.
on the island.
From here, you can quickly rush to the Strait of Malacca, and you can also retreat immediately if you encounter danger. This is already an inland sea of Malaysia. If ships from other countries enter, they will be expelled by the Malaysian navy.
With Datu's care, the frigates, which usually hide their guns and weapons, can still freely enter and exit this sea area. Of course, Brother Hui also spent money, at least to smash it on the fat general.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Brother, why aren't you going? Let's rush over now and catch them off guard..."
The fire general kept circling in front of Brother Hui. It had been more than a week since the last transaction. He had been staying on this small island. Liu Minghui issued a strict order that no one could leave the island without permission.
Although they had no worries about food and drink, there were no modern entertainment facilities, and more importantly, there were no women, which made life very difficult for energetic guys like the Fire General.
"Damn it, I should have known that we robbed that merchant ship last time and brought that woman back..."
The fire general licked his lips. Last time he robbed a group of rich businessmen's children who were traveling to the sea. There were two girls there who were really coquettish. Not to mention offering themselves up, they had many tricks, which made more than a dozen brothers happy.
"You can't die without a woman. Lao Wu, you have to keep calm. If you don't take action this time, it will be fine. If you do, it will kill them. After this is done, we will fly away immediately. What kind of women will not be there by then?"
Brother Hui glared at the fire general with a gloomy face. He didn't know why, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't explain why.
Generally speaking, even if the other party has more people than our own, the crew without weapons is not much different from a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
After Brother Hui thought for a while, he turned to the white paper fan in the organization, the person who was in contact with Jack, and said: "Third brother, please contact Jack again and ask if there are any weapons on the ship? Also, where are they going?
How long you will stay in the sea, you have to ask everything..."
"yes, Sir……"
The third child took the phone and started dialing directly. After a while, he put down the phone and said happily: "Brother, good news. Although they have more than ten security guards on the ship, they all have electric batons in their hands.
I don’t even have a pistol, so there’s no need to be afraid of them…
As for the time they spent at sea, I heard from the staff that they were salvaging the sunken ship, which would take at least a week..."
"Oh? Are you sure?" Brother Hui's tense expression finally relaxed.
"I'm sure, it's such a hot day. Those security guards are only wearing single clothes. You can tell they have weapons at a glance. Jack has been at sea for so many years, and he still has good eyesight..."
The third child glanced at Brother Hui and continued cautiously: "But brother, that guy said that when we get the money from the surname Zhuang, we will give him 10 million..."
"What the hell, I'm working my ass off, and he's just trying to get some money while he's making phone calls?"
Brother Hui didn't say anything, and the fire general jumped up. If Jack were here now, the fire general would crush his neck.
"Blackmailing Zhuang? Hehe, I'm afraid we don't have the life to enjoy it..."
Brother Hui sneered when he heard this and said: "Promise him, I can give him 100 million, as long as he has the life to take it..."
As soon as Brother Hui said these words, everyone in the room burst out laughing.
I have seen greedy people, but I have never seen such greedy and stupid people. He wanted to take money from these people who were licking blood from their swords. Brother Hui had no problem with it, but he was afraid that the gun in his hand might accidentally go off.
Brother Hui inquired about Zhuang Rui's background and knew that he had a deep background in the mainland. If the money hadn't been too tempting, Brother Hui wouldn't want to provoke such a person.
But now the grudge has been settled. After Hui brother seizes the ship, he will definitely not give Zhuang Rui a way to survive. Anyway, he will fly away after finishing this job. No matter how powerful Zhuang Rui's background is, he can't go to Africa to hunt him down.
Bar?
"Okay, stop laughing, go and do what you have to do..." Brother Hui's face turned serious, and the laughter in the room stopped abruptly.
"Hey, brother, why aren't you leaving yet? If someone else takes the lead, wouldn't our work be in vain?"
When the fire general heard Liu Minghui's words, he immediately became anxious. In this place where birds don't lay eggs, he had already had enough.
Moreover, they are not the only pirates in Malacca. At least, there are at least three pirates similar to theirs in Malacca. If they are targeted by others, it will be difficult to attack them.
"Have a good rest and leave tomorrow afternoon..."
Liu Minghui waved his hand, sat on the recliner and closed his eyes. Everyone saw the boss's appearance and knew that Brother Hui would not change his mind, so they all left in dismay.
Liu Minghui decided to set off tomorrow because of his own considerations. He didn't believe that such a large merchant ship didn't have an automatic weapon on board? A hard attack was absolutely not advisable.
That's why Brother Hui decided to set sail tomorrow afternoon. When he arrived at the sea area where Zhuang Rui was, it happened to be morning, which was also the time when the crew was most relaxed. Instead, he put down the boat and climbed aboard secretly, catching Zhuang Rui and others off guard.
As for what the fire general said about being preempted by others, Brother Hui didn't care much, because ordinary pirate organizations would not dare to rashly attack such a large ship without strict follow-up and investigation in advance.
There has been such a thing before. A country's exploration team was investigating on the high seas and was besieged by a group of pirates. Who knew that the exploration team was accompanied by a platoon of military guards? At that time, they beat the unsighted guys until they lost their helmets.
Abandoning armor, the whole army was almost wiped out.
Since then, the pirates in Malacca have learned well and generally will not rush to hijack and attack ships whose details are unknown. Even if they attack, they will only know the details and follow the merchant ships for several days.
…
"What a beauty……"
Sitting in front of the big screen, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
As the submersible sank, it had now reached a depth of more than 1,800 meters. Zhuang Rui originally thought that there would be far fewer fish in the deep sea, but who knew that the fact was exactly the opposite of what he thought.
Although it has reached a depth of 1,800 meters, fish are swimming in the sea in groups, some are covered with colorful stripes, some have a cluster of red tassels on their heads, some have round eyes and body
It is covered with thorns and becomes as round as a ball when inflated.
There are also some large electric eels swimming by the submersible. From the screen, they look like giant pythons, with a length of more than ten meters.
The rare fish swimming by the submersible in the sea from time to time will cause people in the room to exclaim.
Although these workers have conducted deep-sea operations before, they were only in waters hundreds of meters deep. This is the first time they have salvaged a sunken ship in waters more than 2,000 meters deep.
"Is this...is it going to the bottom of the sea?"
Suddenly, the scenery on the screen changed. In the originally clear sea water, a flat river bed appeared. Wherever the light reached, it was like a desert, with fine white sand everywhere within reach.
Zhang Gong was very experienced. After taking a look at the river bed, he said: "We should be at the bottom of the sea. Mr. Zhuang, where should we go now?"
Unlike the beautiful seabed in the shallow sea, the deep sea is under too much pressure and cannot see sunlight. Therefore, there are no living creatures such as coral reefs on the river bed, and almost no grass grows.
Some fish that live in the deep sea are swimming nearby, but as you can see through the screen, these fish seem to be very afraid of the lights, unlike the fish in the shallow sea that gather next to the lights.
Zhuang Rui sensed the location of the sunken ship and said: "Turn on all the headlights and go to the right..."
There is a sunken ship more than two hundred meters to the right of the submersible. Although Zhuang Rui cannot see it directly, he can feel from the rich aura that there must be many valuable objects on the ship.
There are a total of six headlights on the front of the diving robot. Previously, only two were turned on to save power. Now they are all turned on, and the seabed suddenly becomes brighter.
While turning, the propeller at the rear of the submersible stirred up the sand on the seabed, causing the screen to become turbid. Zhuang Rui said, "No, you can't see clearly this way. Raise it a little higher and don't move close to the seafloor..."
After some operations, Zhang Gong raised the submersible a few meters, and after advancing a certain distance, the water became clear again. However, the light could only see a distance of one to twenty meters ahead at most, whether there was a sunken ship.
Everyone was unsure.
"Look, there seems to be a shadow in front of you..."
After almost 10 minutes, a staff member who was staring at the screen suddenly shouted loudly. Sure enough, there was a hazy black shadow directly in front of the submersible.
"The ship is a sunken ship!"
As the submersible continued to approach, everyone clearly saw that a wooden boat about 20 meters long appeared in the field of view of the monitor on the diving robot.
"It is the shipwreck of our country, the shipwreck of the Song Dynasty..."
As the only professional in the room, Zhuang Rui did not learn archeology in vain. He could date the ship from its shape at a glance.
