The Luna sailed out another landing craft. This time there were only five people on the landing craft, Wu Yue, Emily, Falua and Yue'er and two other maids. They filled the empty space on the ship with canned food.
The two maids were in black special forces uniforms and were equipped with all sophisticated weapons. The machine guns at the front and rear of the landing craft had not been dismantled. This was to let the villagers know that they had technological weapons that were no worse than pirates, and the maids insisted on protecting Wuyue and
They had to treat Emily's safety with caution.
On the Luna, seven people are responsible for monitoring the surrounding sea areas. If there are any abnormalities, they will notify Wuyue and others. If the villagers on the island resist, the Luna will not be polite. Destroying an island is still a piece of cake for the Luna.
The landing craft slowly docked at the coast. Ye Minglu and Modi walked over to help carry the food. The food reserves were sufficient, but they only took out a small part.
"Thank you for your hard work, Wuyue!"
"You can be the pioneers, so we can say that you have worked hard."
Regarding Ye Minglu's polite behavior, Wu Yue retorted with a pursed lips, saying that they would always stand at the back and let them detect dangers from the front. No amount of thank you would be enough.
After carrying five or six boxes of canned food to the village, Wuyue slowly walked in front of the villagers in a dignified and elegant manner.
The villagers looked at the petite and cute Wuyue and unconsciously made comments in surprise. Was this the girl who was talking to them just now? She seemed too young. She was younger than some of their children, but she had such ability.
His eyes turned to the maid special forces soldier behind her who was armed to the teeth. He held a semi-automatic submachine gun in his hand, and hung a grenade and an infrared pistol on his waist. His expression was serious and indifferent, and he was protecting the girl, acting like a bodyguard.
But because of this, the villagers also took a few steps back in fear. After all, they had just met and they didn't know what the outsider's intentions were. If the pie suddenly fell, the possibility was infinitely close to zero.
"Villagers, here is some food. We have a rough idea of your situation, and we happened to pass by this sea area, so we decided to help you. I hope you don't be afraid!"
Wuyue pressed the combination lock, took out one of the cans and opened it. An alluring fragrance spread, turning into an invisible hand that arouses appetite.
"To prove that this food is safe, I will try it myself to show you."
Wu Yue led by example, picked up the spoon and took a bite of the canned food, making the villagers swallow their saliva as they watched.
The delicious aroma of the canned food continued to spread, and the children in the village began to growl in their stomachs and wanted to eat, but they did not dare without the consent of the adults.
"Mr. Akela, your children are also hungry. If you trust us, let them fill their stomachs first!"
A boy and a girl behind Akela both licked their mouths, and were discovered by Ye Minglu.
Holding two cans, Ye Minglu walked up to villager Akela and motioned for him to give the cans to the children.
If Akela believes in their words, he can use his children as the first step of trust. Food is not poisonous, and Wu Yue sets an example. Then Akela's children can also serve as a role model, and the villagers will naturally trust them without reservation.
"Okay, since I choose to believe you, I have nothing to be afraid of."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Akela, for trusting us so much! Take it!"
Ye Minglu opened the two cans and handed them to Akela. Akela watched as the cans continued to exude an unprecedented fragrance.
"Come on, children, you don't have to go hungry anymore."
Although Akela really wanted to eat, the children were the most important thing. No matter how attractive the food was, he was still thinking about his children.
The boy and girl held the cans, smelled the mouth-watering smell, and couldn't help but wolfed them down.
"tasty!"
"It's delicious. This is the best food I've ever eaten."
The boys and girls ate the canned food, which made the aroma of the canned food spread even more. Those who watched had endured a life of not having enough to eat for so long, and faced the praise and happiness of the children, and the aroma had penetrated into their minds.
The villagers no longer had any doubts and came forward one after another to ask for canned food. This was a good start in Modi's eyes.
"Modi, what are you doing standing there? Come here and distribute the food."
Falua rubbed her waist with her hands. When she saw him giggling, she immediately glanced at him seriously and demanded in a strong tone.
"Oh, come on!"
After regaining his composure, Modi ran over, picked up a bunch of cans, and distributed them to each of the more than 200 villagers in the village. One can was enough, and there were many more left.
Wuyue brought several boxes, each box containing fifty cans, just to prevent the villagers from having enough to eat.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening. A fire was lit in an empty area of the village. The villagers moved large wooden chairs around to sit on. More than two hundred villagers, Ye Minglu and others sat around the fire.
The villagers had their stomachs full, their spirits improved a lot, and their voices sounded much louder. This was what Wuyue and Yeminglu wanted to see.
Jie Xin was playing with a group of children including boys and girls. As for her, she didn't need to listen to the truth or understand the content, she just needed to know what she could do.
As the first villager in the village who came into contact with Ye Minglu and others, Akela will tell most of the story. If other villagers have any questions, just ask them without being covert or afraid.
Only by understanding the situation more thoroughly can the actions taken by Ye Minglu and others be more effective.
"The thing is like this, our village used to be a relatively peaceful and carefree village, and because we didn't have much contact with the outside world, sometimes merchant ships would pass by and we would make purchases, but we didn't have a ship to go out, so we could only settle down on the island.
In life, perhaps contact with the outside world is not absolutely a good thing, but we still hope to communicate with the outside world."
"Merchant ships pass by here and almost never come back, but we don't pray too much. It's enough to be with the people around us."
According to Akela's description, Yeminglu, Wuyue and others can imagine that this place used to be a pastoral life, a place without war and smoke of gunpowder, but now that they come here, they can only see the messy ground, dilapidated houses, and...
There is an endless mining wind in the mine.
"Suddenly one day, this calmness was broken. A group of ferocious pirates came. They were brought by businessmen. We traded the gold and diamonds obtained from mining with the merchants in exchange for silk cloth from outside. Each of us had never
I’ve seen processed food, but I didn’t expect them to cooperate with pirates. When the pirates discovered the situation in this place, the nightmare began.”
At this point, Akela held his head, his voice choked with sobs, and he did not dare to recall the scene at that time. His expression was very painful and sad.
"What's going on, Mr. Akela?"
Emily and Wu Yue were sitting next to Ye Ming Lu. They leaned closely on Ye Ming Lu. The more Wu Yue listened, the more depressed she felt like them. She grabbed Ye Ming Lu's clothes and asked complicatedly in her heart.
.
"At the beginning, there were more than ten pirates in two speedboats. We thought we could resist by adopting a tough attitude. Who knew, those pirates were cruel and ruthless. Anyone who disobeyed would be shot to death. They were absolutely coercive, and the businessman who led the way was also killed by the pirates.
Beat him to death directly."
"Businessmen are making money like crazy. If you cooperate with unreasonable pirates, you will only be exploited. No one wants to monopolize the rich mineral islands. It is ridiculous for businessmen to want to share the cake."
In order for the notorious pirates to be reasonable, they must have strong strength to be subtle. In Modi's view, in addition to making money, businessmen must also take risks. If this kind of thing accidentally involves one's life, the gain outweighs the gain and the life is lost.
, what’s the use of having more money.
"Well, under their strong power, we have no choice. We don't have external communicators and can't contact the outside world. Even if we can contact them, they may not be willing to put in the effort to rescue us. Therefore, men can only be oppressed by them.
Women are engaged in mining and farming. In a village of more than 300 people, a mine collapse killed more than a dozen people at a time. In the past year, we have lost as many as 80 villagers."
Eighty of the more than three hundred villagers died. Anyone who heard this would be saddened and shed tears, but except for Wu Yue beside him, whose expression was slightly sad, the others were just pale.
"But, there are less than 220 people in your village, where are the others?"
According to Akela, the number of dead people and the remaining people is wrong. So where did some of them go? Did they leave here? To rule out this possibility, the village has no boat to leave, so it is definitely not as imagined, a lie
, his hurt expression was true, and it wasn’t this, Modi was confused.
The experience of the villagers is very tragic, and Modi sympathizes with it, but he will not blindly believe it. At the very least, he must analyze and raise questions to ensure safety. Maybe Wu Yue will not think that the only person who has the same idea as him is Ye Ye.
Ringing the way.
Although his best friend Ye Minglu is a bit stupid, he is not so stupid that he cannot even analyze. During the battle, his analysis and prediction is almost better than his own.
"Captured by pirates. In their eyes, although the villagers are no match for the weapons in their hands, there is always a chance of resistance. The pirates do not want to die in one place. If they rebel, they will suffer heavy losses, so they will be captured.
Some people in the village are used as bargaining chips to make us obey orders obediently. If we don't obey, then we will kill one person at a time to set an example."
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and Wuyue, Emily, and Yue Xin were frightened.
Ye Minglu punched the wood hard, letting the sawdust scratch his skin, and a trace of blood seeped out. At this time, the anger in his heart was greater than the trauma and pain. He who didn't know anything about the world, heard and saw
This time of desolation made me wish I could catch all the pirates immediately.
"Ming Lu...are you okay? You're bleeding..."
Emily looked at the sawdust stuck in Ye Minglu's fist and the blood slowly seeping out, and her heart tightened.
"It's okay, Mr. Akela, I'm sorry, I'm rude."
Ye Minglu put his hands behind his back and motioned for him to continue talking. What he knew now was that the enemy was definitely a pirate, and he also learned that the pirates had hostages, but which faction the pirates belonged to and what their equipment was like.
, including the number of people, needs to be found out before any action can be taken.
"The gold and diamonds we collect must be handed over, and most of the food we grow must be handed over. What's left is just enough for us to survive. We really don't know how long we can survive, so we can only leave it to fate."
"Actually, we don't want to implicate you. You are good people in our eyes, but if we fight against them and something happens, how can we be happy? We are very grateful to you for helping us have a good meal.
"
As he said this, Akela was about to kneel to the ground, and the villagers also knelt down.
"We are younger than you, and we cannot afford such a big gift. Besides, we are helping you out of our own free will. Life or death is none of your business, so there is no need to blame yourself."
Ye Minglu quickly picked up Akela. They had already decided everything before they came here. Pirates are definitely not that simple. They are not organized like gangsters on the street. Real pirates are cruel. As long as they are merciful, they will die.
Otherwise, why would pirates dare to hijack merchant ships in front of the country and demand ransom?
"But...why do you want to help us like this..."
"Because this is what we can do. If I say that the enemies we face are a thousand times more powerful than pirates, is it really okay to ignore weak enemies in order to deal with powerful enemies and let them do whatever they want?"
"Mr. Akela, no one can stop what we have decided. Please rest assured that we will not get away with it so easily."
What Ye Ming Lu said shocked the villagers. It was stronger than pirates. What was it? A monster? Wu Yue Yuan said another sentence to dispel their worries.
"Which sea area do those pirates belong to, and what is the name of the organization? If we want to deal with them better, we must know ourselves and the enemy, so that we can be victorious in every battle."
"Well, we don't know very well. The area here belongs to the Somali Sea, and it seems that the name they mentioned is Somali sailors."
"Somali pirates..."
When Ye Minglu asked Accra, he got the identity of the pirates, and they turned out to be Somali pirates, because the only organization that was rampant in the waters of Somalia and would not be jointly attacked by other countries was the notorious Somali pirates.
In this way, what they need to do is to read the information about Somali pirates, and then formulate a strategy to carry out a one-time devastating strike to uproot them.
"Why, are Somali pirates very powerful..."
Hearing Yeming Road, Modi and Wuyue shouted out the collective name of "Somali Pirates" in shock at the same time. Accra and the villagers suddenly panicked. Even outsiders knew the names of those pirates. Now they
There is no way to escape from the clutches of pirates.
"It's indeed a bit powerful, but no matter what force the other party is, we will do what we promised."
Modi is not lying. Somali pirates are already powerful, but they are powerful in terms of firepower. If it is a hand-to-hand fight, Somali pirates will only be targets. Of course, there should also be criminals who were born in the military and joined after retirement.
