Not long after, gunshots were also heard on the first cabin deck. It seemed that it was Barron and the others who started to fight back.
But judging from the sound of gunfire, the pirates' firepower was very fierce. They should have used guns such as AK47, which was much more powerful than the short guns in Barron's hands.
The exchange of fire between the two sides was very fierce. After a while, a bright light suddenly rushed towards the cruise ship from the sea and hit the side of the ship, causing a violent explosion.
The blazing flames shot up into the sky, and the huge roar was deafening. Qin Hai was secretly speechless. He didn't expect that these pirates actually had rockets in their hands, which was a bit troublesome.
A few minutes later, a person took the cover of the hull and ran towards the gangway quickly. Qin Hai winked at Serena and Anna, and the three of them hid in the cabin next to them.
Not long after, Barron hurried to Guy and said breathlessly: "Mr. Guy, the opponent's firepower is too strong, we can't hold it anymore."
Guy's face changed drastically, "What should we do? If we can't hold on, we will all die! Barron, are you trying to persuade me to surrender to the pirates?"
Barron hesitated and said, "Mr. Gay, I don't want to do this either, but there is no other way now. As you just saw, they still have rockets in their hands. If they make a big hole in the cabin of the cruise ship, then we will
There is no chance of escape. Instead of doing this, it is better to talk to them. They are just asking for money, just give them a sum of money."
Guy's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said solemnly: "How much?"
"Several million U.S. dollars are definitely indispensable. If they don't want to open their mouths, tens of millions of U.S. dollars may be needed."
Guy snorted, "Where am I going to find millions of dollars now?"
“Transfers are also possible!”
Guy looked at Barron deeply and said, "Captain Barron, you know these pirates very well."
Barron's face changed slightly and he frowned: "Mr. Guy, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I have colluded with the pirates?"
"I have never said that, but I want to advise you that it is best not to be like this, otherwise even if I am eventually killed by the pirates, I will kill you first!" Guy said with a stern voice.
A cold light flashed in Barron's eyes, but because the night was too dark and Barron lowered his head, Guy didn't see it.
"Okay then, I will lead my people to resist until the last moment and use actions to prove my innocence." Barron raised his head, took a deep look at Guy, turned around and went downstairs along the gangway.
Qin Hai took Anna and the others out of the cabin. Guy immediately asked: "I think Barron is very likely to be with those so-called pirates. What do you think we should do now?"
Serena said: "If they really just want money, it is not impossible to give them a sum of money. I'm afraid they are not just looking for money."
At this point, Serena asked: "Uncle Guy, why do you have to get that flower crown?"
Guy subconsciously avoided Serena's gaze, "Selena, you know that I have been studying the famous pirate groups in history. The Blood Rose was left by Blackbeard, so I very much hope to use it to find some pirates."
The Secret of the Beard.”
Qin Hai couldn't help laughing, "Professor Guy, if it's really that simple, why don't you just ask Serena to borrow it? In fact, your real purpose is to find Blackbeard's treasure through the Blood Rose, right? You
There’s no need to look at me like this, Barron has already said this, I think their purpose is not only to get money, but they also want to find that huge treasure.”
Guy was stunned for a moment, then sighed, nodded and said: "Yes, according to my research, Blackbeard's treasure should be found through the Blood Rose, and it is probably the only way. The treasure map is very likely
It's hidden inside the Blood Rose, and if you want to find it, you must first destroy the Blood Rose."
"So in order to cover up the truth, you secretly bribed Barron and the others to carry out such a hijacking incident?" Serena stared at Guy coldly, "Uncle Guy, is that treasure really so important to you?
?”
Guy smiled bitterly, "Selena, you know, I study history. I look for treasures not just for money, but to explore that history."
"Enough!" Serena's towering chest rose and fell violently as she scolded: "No matter what your purpose is, you ruined my birthday party for your own selfish reasons, and now you have put so many people in danger.
You are so selfish, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Guy's face changed. After a while, he sighed, "It's useless to say this now. If we can't stop those pirates, we will all die here tonight, or they will use them as meat tickets to ask for from your father."
Huge amount of money. Serena, uncle is indeed sorry for you, but now you should concentrate on figuring out how to deal with those damn pirates."
Serena glared at Guy fiercely, "What else can we do, we can only fight with them!"
At this moment, Barron climbed up the gangway again, and Qin Hai quickly hid in the cabin with Serena and the others.
"Professor Guy, I really can't stand it anymore. I think we should hurry up and find the Blood Rose first, and then leave in the lifeboat. The pirates are staring at the cruise ship now, and they shouldn't chase us."
Guy remained calm and asked: "Blood Rose is missing now, where can I find her?"
"The person who stole Blood Rose must be among those hostages. If he doesn't hand it over, he will kill everyone!" Barron said murderously.
"Isn't this too cruel?" Guy frowned.
"We can't control that much now. When the pirates come up, they will all die!"
Guy pondered for a while, "Okay then, I'll leave this matter to you."
Barron's face was filled with joy, he responded and immediately walked towards the reception hall. But just as he was about to push open the door of the hall, Barron suddenly stopped.
A few seconds later, Barron turned to Guy and said: "The ship can't stop. I'll go to the bridge to see and ask them to start the ship. This can buy more time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Barron walked towards the cab without looking back.
"No, this guy has discovered that all the hostages have been released!"
Qin Hai quickly rushed out of the cabin, but Barron's reaction was also quick. He quickly swung his gun and fired at Qin Hai and the others, then pulled out a grenade from his waist and threw it over.
Qin Hai had no choice but to retreat into the cabin again and wait for the grenade to explode before continuing to chase him out.
But in a cloud of smoke and dust, Barron had disappeared without a trace, and Guy fell to the ground.
