Listening to the increasingly chaotic footsteps outside, Liu Lang slowly exhaled and whispered to Chen Yunfa: "Go and take Fan Ziran and Laura to find a place to hide first."
"Yes." Chen Yunfa rolled over and got up without hesitation. His huge body opened the hatch and slipped out silently like a civet cat.
With Liu Lang's ability, Chen Yunfa had no worries that he would make any mistakes, even if he only had a thorn in his hand.
At this time, faint sounds of wailing began to be heard. Liu Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, and he was already sure that there was an enemy on the boat.
As for the enemies on the sea, it is almost unnecessary to think about it. In Malacca, besides the notorious pirates, who else could there be?
Liu Lang is really not too unfamiliar with pirates in Malacca.
Since the discovery of the Strait of Malacca, this most important passage along with the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea has become a golden waterway for commercial trade. At the same time, pirates have never been less crazy.
Not to mention in this era, even in the next few decades, the crazy pirates of Malacca will not stop their footsteps. At the beginning of the 21st century, even 50% of the merchant ships passing through the Strait of Malacca every day will
According to statistics in 2001, the global direct losses caused by pirates in Malacca were as high as 16 billion US dollars.
It was not until the Republic's naval power became stronger that it sent a fleet to permanently station in the South China Sea. All Chinese merchant ships were personally escorted by the fleet and transported through the Strait of Malacca.
From this we can imagine the rampant pirates in Malacca.
But why didn't Liu Lang have any vigilance when passing through Malacca? That's because this 10,000-ton passenger ship also has a good defense force. The entire passenger ship has as many as 100 armed security personnel, and even has two heavy machine guns. Every day
There were more than 20 combatants on duty at night.
How did they let the poorly equipped pirates touch this giant ship that was considered modern in this era? Liu Lang had no time to think about it because heavy footsteps had already begun to enter the VIP area. Judging from the footsteps, there were at least twenty people.
There were many people, and their footsteps were heavy and concise, which showed that they had received military training and had weapons and sufficient ammunition.
Liu Lang no longer hesitated and got out through the open porthole. He didn't even care about Chen Yunfa and Xiaoyang Niu'er. If he was familiar with the entire ship, Chen Yunfa, who had worked on the passenger ship for seven days, was more familiar with it than he was.
Liu Lang believed that he could find the safest place to hide them.
Not long after Liu Lang slipped out of the cabin, he heard constant gunshots and screams coming from the VIP area. Liu Lang knew that there must be bodyguards resisting, but they were unarmed and faced heavily armed pirates.
, resistance is obviously futile.
In the face of modern firearms, even Liu Lang had to give in, especially when there were so many enemies. Liu Lang, who was hiding above a vent, witnessed at least one platoon carrying a German submachine gun running past.
.
On this passenger ship, there were actually more than a hundred armed pirates with sophisticated weapons. Not many troops even in the national army could possess so many German submachine guns.
Liu Lang, who rolled out the porthole, also used the bright moonlight to see several small steamers on the sea level next to the passenger ship. They were the means of transportation for pirates. Several thick ropes tied the steamers and the passenger ship tightly.
Together, a dozen ropes with steel claws cling to the railings of the ship's side.
This is how the pirates climbed onto the passenger ship.
As for why the security guard on duty didn't fire a warning shot, Liu Lang couldn't think of any other reason besides being an internal agent.
The gunshots and screams did not last long. Faced with the power of the firearms, the bodyguards who had little defense ability obviously gave up their futile resistance, and more and more people were driven out of the VIP area.
Fierce gunfire also came from the direction of the captain's cabin. Liu Lang knew that it was the crew members with self-defense weapons who were resisting.
However, when the familiar "click-click" sound of the Czech-made light machine gun sounded, Liu Lang sighed slightly, and the resistance was about to end.
The quality of the firearms of this group of pirates is astonishing. They even brought light machine guns on board. The British crew members who only owned rifles and pistols were obviously no match for them.
As for the two self-defense Maxim heavy machine guns on the top of the ship, Liu Lang no longer had any hope for them. From the time they didn't fire a single shot until now, Liu Lang knew that they were finished without looking at them. With internal intelligence,
The pirates will definitely deal with these two heavy firepower points as soon as possible.
As Liu Lang expected, only ten minutes later, the British gentlemen also gave up resistance. The gunfire gradually stopped and the passenger ship slowly stopped, proving that this ship carrying 800 passengers and more than 300 crew members and waiters was
The superliner was completely taken over by pirates.
Liu Lang has even lost his mind to fight against these more than a hundred armed pirates. He is not a god. Even if he is a god, he probably can't deal with these more than a hundred pirates who are fully armed and equipped with submachine guns with an amazing rate of fire by himself!
Even if Liu Lang still has a brother with extremely high combat power.
Liu Lang didn't even have any luck with this group of relatively well-trained pirates. Since they had made such a big battle, they would never plunder a passenger ship and merchant ship and leave just hiding like many pirates did.
This ship is already a dead end, and the only thing Liu Lang can do now is to take advantage of the pirates still controlling the passenger ship to get rid of the remaining pirates on the steamer, and then escape with the little foreign girl and the others.
As for the other people on the ship, Liu Lang could only let them fend for themselves. After all, no matter how ferocious the pirates were, they would probably be able to kill thousands of people. As long as they handed over the goods, they could satisfy these pirates.
Or if you pay a huge ransom, your chances of survival should still be high.
Liu Lang, who had already made up his mind, hid his body a little deeper. The pirates who kept walking through the cabin and searching around probably never thought that there was a fat figure hiding above their heads.
The fat man, although the fat man was not worried that his huge weight would collapse the cabin roof and crush them to death.
Liu Lang was waiting. More and more passengers were forced out of the cabin and went to the next floor. Liu Lang knew that it was the first floor of the bottom cabin. The huge space there was enough to fit a thousand people. Of course, that was the station.
It is impossible to lie down leisurely while sitting or squatting.
If it were him, if he wanted to control the thousands of people on this ship, he would do the same thing. As long as he set up machine guns around him, not to mention thousands of people, but even a few thousand people would turn into sheep.
Human nature is like this. Even if you know that the other party is going to kill you at the next moment, few people will be the first to stand up and resist. Everyone hopes that they will be the last to be shot, not the first.
The reason why a hero can become a hero is because he has the courage to bear death.
Obviously, there are few heroes.
At least now, Liu Lang could no longer hear any resistance. The only sounds were sad cries and cowardly pleas for mercy. Not only were the voices of the Chinese, but the British gentlemen were no better.
Finally, the pirates finished searching the room and began to leave.
Liu Lang took a deep breath, jumped down from the narrow exhaust port, and the moment his feet landed on the ground, he rolled to the side to remove all the force, making almost no sound during the whole process.
Just after passing through the corridor, a roar came from the deck, causing Liu Lang to stop suddenly, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
