The conversation between the two of us was seen by the pirates next to us. A big and thick pirate came over and kicked me, cursing and saying, "Damn, what nonsense are you talking about? You thought it was a party."
I didn't fight back, I just raised my arm to block the "bang" sound, and felt a numbness in my arm. His kick was quite powerful.
"Boy, don't you want to live anymore?" He was blocked by me and failed to kick me as expected. Anger flashed in his eyes and he looked at me cruelly.
Oops! This guy must be a little angry. I saw that he had raised the gun in his hand, and my pupils shrank. I quickly glanced around the corner of my eyes. The crowd was surrounded on the deck, surrounded by their
I couldn't run away, I had no choice but to risk my life. I clenched my hands quietly into fists. I planned that if he wanted to shoot, I would jump up and kill him first. I would grab the gun from his hand.
A glimmer of hope.
"Lao Liu, what are you doing? Take these people down quickly..." At this moment, the pirate leader cursed at this place.
"I know..." The guy agreed, looked at me and smiled coldly, "Boy, you're lucky..." After saying that, the guy walked away, and I broke into a cold sweat on my back. Our current situation is exactly like this
A lamb to be slaughtered, there is no room for resistance. If I really anger these people, I have no doubt that my fate will be the same as that of the several Yamaguchi-gumi people who were killed by them just now.
"Everyone, please cooperate now. Go down with our people for the time being. When we get what we need, we will let you out naturally. Remember, everyone must cooperate..." The leading pirate's tone was a bit sinister.
Next, all of us on the deck were divided into several groups and taken down. It was not the original guest room, but below the deck, which was similar to a basement, like a warehouse. All of us were divided into several groups and locked up below.
warehouse.
Fortunately, Scar and Alice were all locked up together. Alice's two men were assigned to unknown places, and the calm young man was also locked up with us.
No one dared to resist. After what happened just now, the crowd became much more honest. All that was left was fear. A few women were in a state of shock and were crying secretly.
"Ka" the door of the warehouse was closed. There were about 20 people detained in our warehouse. The most women were women, accounting for more than half. There were five men in front of me, and Scar was always standing with me.
, the remaining ones are the calm young man, and two men, one is middle-aged, the other is an old man, with his wife standing next to him, and the two of them are holding hands and never letting go.
I recognized them after just one glance. These two elderly people were the enviable couple I saw on the deck during the day. I didn't expect that the two of them would still be so calm, holding hands and facing the dangers they encountered.
I did a rough scan and found that this place should be a place for storing debris. There were a lot of debris piled on the ground. The door was a thick iron door, and there were the group of pirates who escorted us outside.
Fortunately, there are lights inside, and the light will at least not increase people's fear. If it were pitch dark, I believe it won't take long for fear to spread in such a closed space, and then the crowd will riot.
The few women who were in shock began to sit in the corner holding their heads and crying. Some of them were a little distraught, staring blankly at the ceiling as if they had accepted their fate. The calm young man took one look and then became quiet.
I sat down without a trace of panic.
The middle-aged man seemed a little anxious and kept rubbing his hands and walking around. No one talked to each other. Human nature is like this. When faced with danger, everyone always looks out for themselves, appearing very indifferent.
"Xiao, what should we do now?" Alice asked softly beside me, her tone was not too panicked and she seemed very calm.
I shook my head, "I don't know either. They are all outside now, and we have no chance to escape. We can only wait... for them to let us go or for the outside world to rescue us."
Now all we can do is wait. At least judging from the current situation, this group of pirates did not kill anyone. They just locked us here. Our lives should not be in danger for the time being. We just hope that they will take the money and leave quickly.
Or there is a possibility that people on the ship contacted the outside world for help. Isn’t there a captain and so many sailors on the ship...
By the way! Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of a very serious problem. When we gathered on the deck just now, we never saw the crew, the captain, the sailors, and the leaders. There were only passengers and pirates! My face instantly changed.
Things have changed, things don’t seem right...
"Do you feel something is wrong? I didn't find any crew members..." Seeing the strange expression on my face, the calm young man looked at me and asked.
I glanced at him, and there was an expression on his face that I had expected. It seemed that he had noticed it a long time ago. Because it was my first time to take a boat, I didn’t know much about the situation on the boat.
The matter was so urgent that it was not analyzed carefully at all.
"Have you discovered it a long time ago?" I looked at him and asked.
He nodded and said in a more casual tone, "If I guess correctly, both the captain and the sailor are dead..."
"Dead? How did you know?" I said with a confused tone.
"Haha, you don't know much about ships, do you?" He didn't answer me immediately but asked a question.
I didn't lie. I nodded and said directly, "You can say that I don't know anything about it. To be honest, this is my first time going out on a boat."
"That's right, no wonder you don't know." He snapped his fingers briskly, his tone a little frivolous.
"Everyone must have heard the emergency broadcast in the guest room corridor. This broadcast was controlled directly from the captain's cabin, and the voice coming from that time was that of pirates..." He explained a few words to me, but I still didn't quite understand.
"How does that mean that the captain and the others must be dead?" I continued to ask with a puzzled tone.
In my mind, maybe the captain was hijacked or something, not necessarily dead. The pirates have weapons, and it would be easy for someone to take control of the ship.
"Xiao, it seems that the captain and the others are indeed dead..." Alice's tone was a little serious, even a little worried.
"You don't understand the significance of a ship to a captain and a sailor, especially a captain. His ship is like his own child. He will never lose control and will fight to the last moment. If you want to get a ship at sea,
There is only one possibility for complete control of the ship, and that is...to kill the captain of that ship."
"So, now it seems that the crew and captain of this ship have been killed," Alice explained to me with a sigh.
As soon as she finished speaking, the calm man and I looked at each other a few times and almost blurted out, "Who will sail the ship if the captain dies?"
This is a very serious problem. A ship without a captain and sailors is almost equal to death at sea. Don’t think that the passengers on the ship can move, it is impossible. Every sailor on a ship has been trained and has their own responsibilities and duties.
The positions are all fixed, and only a qualified captain can drive a ship correctly.
If these are lost, then this ship basically means there is no possibility of sailing back. Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
"You guessed it right, these pirates have no intention of letting us live..." As if to confirm my thoughts, the calm man said.
"What? We, we can't get out..." A woman next to her heard our conversation and immediately screamed, with fear on her face.
"No, I don't want to die here." Her emotions seemed to have suddenly lost control, and she kept repeating her voice louder and louder.
"Wow..."
Her voice attracted more people, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic. Many people began to be at a loss. Several women began to scream like her, and two even rushed to the door and kept knocking with their hands.
Close the door.
As expected, the pirates had already left. Their banging on the door had no effect. There must have been no one outside.
"Let us out..."
"I can give you money. My husband has a lot of money. Please let us go..."
Continuous pleading sounds began to be heard in the crowd, and many people began to squeeze towards the door, trying in vain to slam the door with their hands, but it was of no use. The door was locked from the outside, about a few centimeters away.
The iron gate didn't move even a bit with their knocks.
"Shut up!"
I was annoyed by the noise, so I shouted loudly. The crowd fell silent for a while, and everyone looked at me. However, within a few seconds, there was another burst of chaos, and the originally small space suddenly became
It became crowded.
I quickly searched through a pile of debris and finally found an axe. Although it was a bit rusty, it seemed to still be usable.
"Boom"
The ax in my hand hit the door hard, and the force of the rebound made my arms feel numb. No, the door was too hard and there was no way to break it open.
"Brother Xiao, stand aside and let me come..." Scar found a lumpy thing from somewhere and held it in his hands. It looked very heavy.
"drink!"
Scar shouted in a deep voice and rushed over with something in his arms. I quickly stepped aside.
"Bang"
With a muffled sound, the object in Scar's hand hit the door firmly, and he almost bounced to the ground, but the door only shook. Although there was a small dent, it was of no use at all.
This door was too strong. Unless you had a gun in your hand, there was no way to open it. At this moment, the light above the head flashed a few times, and the light became a little faint.
No! The lights are about to go out. They are for power generation. We were right. These pirates don’t want to save our lives at all. Now they are probably starting to destroy the internal structure of the ship. They must not go out. Look up.
I looked at the flickering lights for a few times, praying in my heart that the lights would not go out.
My mind was not idle, and I kept thinking about countermeasures. If we couldn't get out, we would definitely die here, but after thinking of many ways, I was immediately rejected by myself. It is simply not feasible here.
