Chapter 628 Seeking Poison in the Wilderness (Twenty-Four)
At seven o'clock in the morning, Dolphin cruise ship, captain's cabin.
"Captain." After entering the cabin, he walked up to the captain and said straight to the point, "There is something going on on the island. I hope you can take a look."
The captain of the Dolphin is named Joseph Campbell. He is an experienced captain who is nearly sixty years old.
Seeing that he was still deaf and came to visit, Joseph's expression did not change much. He just responded calmly: "What? Finally someone was seriously injured...does the helicopter need to be mobilized?" He tried to guess.
"That's not the case." Huidi replied, "Please take a look at this..." As he said this, he picked up the tablet he carried with him and called up a video, "This is what we took an hour ago. picture."
The video that I haven't shown yet is naturally the one where I was kidnapped by the pirates. The video wasn't very long, it only took a few minutes, because Zhang Yu was dragged away by the group of people with little resistance.
"Well..." Captain Joseph pondered for a while after reading, "Show me this... what does it mean?"
"Of course I'm asking for your opinion."/ He said, "Who do you think those people are?"
"I don't know." Joseph didn't bother to answer the question at all, he said directly, "But I know what to do next..." He paused, turned his head and looked directly into his eyes that were not deaf, "You and you The boys have to stop filming immediately and get back from the island and I... call the Coast Guard now."
"Wait!" Before he could see that the other party had already reached for the walkie-talkie, he quickly reached out and grabbed Joseph's elbow and dissuaded him, "Is this necessary?" He said in a deep voice, "Joseph, you have to think clearly. … Our show is very expensive to produce and we’re already halfway through filming. Do you know what reshoots mean?”
"That has nothing to do with me." Joseph replied firmly. "You paid me to hire me to ensure that this boatload of people can come and return safely. After I got paid, I naturally have to do my job well." He shook off the hand that was not deaf, "Don't Tell me about the production cost and filming schedule... I only know that at this moment, there is a group of unidentified armed men not far from us, and they have captured a passenger on our ship. " He raised his finger and pointed at the console next to him, "The worst thing is... I didn't see anything on the radar. This means that those people either appeared out of thin air. Or they were riding on some kind of counterattack weapon. A vehicle with reconnaissance function is coming." He took a half step forward, glared and lowered his voice, "It is impossible for civilian ships to carry that kind of equipment, and their clothes are not like regular troops at all, so... ...They are either pirates, drug lords, or both." When he said this, he imitated the tone of the previous sentence and asked, "Do you know what it means to be targeted by this group of people? ?”
Listen to the captain. He didn't look deafened several times. Of course, he still didn't show any panic.
Tens of seconds later, it was as if he had made some kind of determination. He replied: "Okay...Joseph, I think you are right, notify the Coast Guard." As he said this, he turned and walked towards the outside of the cabin. "I am responsible for contacting and recalling the staff on the island and selecting..."
boom--
His words were interrupted by a loud bang.
Along with the sound, the entire ship shook violently.
"What's going on?" Captain Joseph's shout sounded immediately. The old captain almost fell to the ground under the impact, but fortunately he reacted quickly. He grabbed the edge of the console and fell to one knee.
"Captain! The hull was hit! The second engine was damaged and the rear cabin was flooded!" A crew member who was originally sitting at the console climbed back into his seat and responded loudly while looking at the screen.
"Close the back cabin! Call for rescue, quickly!" the captain yelled.
"What's going on? Joseph?" The person at the door was still deaf (he happened to be standing at the door when the impact occurred, holding on to the door frame and not falling), "What's going on?"
"Who knows!" Joseph pressed the captain's hat on his head with one hand and supported his body with the other as he stood up. "Maybe he was hit by some large sea creature, maybe..."
Squeak——um——
At this time, a dull, huge metal friction sound suddenly came from the direction of the stern of the ship, covering up the captain's voice.
"Damn it!" He cursed softly, then rushed out of the door and ran along the deck towards the source of the sound.
During this process, the sound of metal friction did not stop for a moment, and... as the sound sounded, the hull began to tilt gradually, and the stern side became higher and higher...
However, the person who is not yet deaf is in surprisingly good physical condition. Even though he was walking "uphill", he quickly arrived at the stern of the ship and witnessed with his own eyes...
"Oh! God!" The sight in front of him shocked even those who were not deaf yet.
At this moment, a huge gap has been opened at the rear of the cruise ship. In the gap, a green semi-solidified substance is pouring out. The material expanded violently when it came into contact with seawater, and then quickly solidified into a solid metal...
Miraculously, this metal showed no sign of sinking in the sea water. They floated firmly on the surface of the sea and pushed up the stern of the Dolphin, causing the entire ship to tilt.
"Metal slurry torpedo..." He immediately regained his composure before being deafened, and recognized the true identity of this substance. The next second, he grasped the railing, stretched his neck, and began to look around the sea attentively.
About ten seconds later, what he was looking for appeared...
Suddenly, a submarine with a skull logo printed on its body slowly emerged from the sea, breaking through the waves from the side of the Dolphin, and in the blink of an eye, it was within 200 meters.
"Damn it! What a pirate..." When he saw the shadow of the submarine, he knew something was wrong. He immediately turned around and ran out, rushing towards the captain's room again.
"Joseph! There are pirates! They are already here!" He almost shouted as he entered the captain's room before he was deaf.
"James..." Captain Joseph announced the bad news with an ashen expression as he saw the still-deaf man stumbling into the cabin, "Our communication signal has been blocked."
"What!" Hui Deaf said in shock.
"That group of pirates must have jamming devices for remote signals on their ships. We...can no longer contact the Coast Guard..." Joseph took off his hat. "The distress signal may not even be sent out."
"Abandon the ship quickly, Joseph! Escape to the island first!" He walked up to the front road.
"It's useless, look." Joseph said, reaching out and pressing a few times on the console to bring up the picture of the bow camera, "Look... they have already foreseen our possible reaction. The torpedo just now As soon as the sound was fired, more than a dozen lurking pirates rushed ashore and occupied the beach... In broad daylight, it was impossible for us to bypass the gun-wielding gangsters. "
Gudong——
At this point, even the man who was as strong as iron and was able to do everything with ease was still deaf, and he fell heavily on the chair, showing a look of despair.
"Haha -" Captain Joseph sighed deeply, "Maybe, this is life." He shook his head slightly, "I wanted to retire after completing this mission, but I didn't expect... Haha..." He He raised the death flag unscrupulously, and then said to Wei Deaf, "Don't worry too much, James, you are all big shots, they will not kill you casually. Pirates... they just want ransom. When the time comes, , the government will definitely come to the rescue..."
"Hey!" Suddenly, something flashed through his mind, which was not deaf yet. He shouted suddenly and interrupted Joseph. "Joseph, you said that the long-range signal was blocked. What about the short- and medium-range signals?" He quickly answered, "For example...here, the communication with the island?"
Joseph frowned and looked sideways, thought for a while, and replied: "Well... this... should still be okay..."
Before he finished speaking, he jumped up from his chair before he became deaf, grabbed the walkie-talkie on the console, turned to a crew member a few meters away and said: "Turn me to the full frequency of the region! Quick!"
The crew member was a little at a loss when he heard this, but Captain Joseph quickly gave him a affirmative look: "Do as he said."
So, five seconds later, a sound that was not deafening sounded from all the communication equipment in the area...
"Everyone listening to this! Attention! This is an emergency! I'm James Francis. I'm not deaf yet, and I'm speaking to you from the cruise ship Dolphin! Right now, our cruise ship is being attacked by a group of pirates ! Repeat! We are being attacked by pirates! If you are still on the island, please hide! I will try to destroy the surveillance equipment on the ship as much as possible! You are being tracked by pirates!"
Still deaf, he repeated this sentence twice in a fast, loud and clear voice, and then handed the walkie-talkie to Captain Joseph: "Keep broadcasting, Joseph, don't stop until someone rushes in."
"Understood." Joseph took the walkie-talkie, immediately put it to his mouth, and began to repeat the words he had not yet heard.
But I, who was not deaf yet, rushed out of the captain's cabin and ran towards the monitoring cabin...
…………
On the other side, among the pirate submarines.
"There seems to be a pretty smart guy on the other side's ship..." Max listened to the radio and said with a sneer, "Huh... As a director, this person is quite powerful. It can be said that he is always vulnerable to danger. Chaos, but there is a certain amount of command..."
"Son." At this time, Graybeard spoke, "You don't know something about this..." For some reason, his tone and expression at this time seemed particularly cold, "This 'not yet deaf'... is worse than you think. It's much more powerful..." (To be continued...)
