Chapter 636 DIE EASY (6/7)
Morning, eleven thirty.
On the beach on the east side of Canabis Island, fifty fully armed pirates were neatly divided into two rows, standing like a well-trained army.
In the middle of the two queues is an open space about ten meters wide.
There are three people in the open space. Two are standing, one is kneeling...
They are: pirate captain Edward Gray, first mate Max Gray, and... famous director and former pirate, James Francis. He is not deaf yet.
At this moment, there were four cameras, operated by four professional videographers, focusing on the three people from different angles.
"Tch... In the end, we can only video..." Gray Beard stood there with an unhappy look on his face, muttering in his mouth.
"If you want to live broadcast, you must turn off the signal jamming device..." Max continued, "Now our 'treasure' has been exposed, we must not let the outside world discover what is happening here... At least, while we complete the inventory Before transfer, no..."
"Hmph... If you ask me... let's just go straight to the island and take back the treasure... They - with just a few people and a few guns... can they still hold on?" Gray Beard said.
"They can't defend it, but the base's defense system can." Max said, "With that ability to block shots, it's easy to rewrite the system there. Once we enter, we will immediately become turtles in a jar..." He sighed, " Sigh...Besides, they have already monitored the entire island, so there is no way we can conduct a 'raid'."
"Are we just going to put up with this?" Gray Beard asked, "Are we really going to do the transaction according to what that 'Carbon' said?"
"I'm afraid...that's all we can do..." Max said in a deep voice, "Actually...if all factors are taken into consideration...his proposal is not a bad idea."
…………
To explain here, the content of the deal proposed by Feng Bujue is: Graybeard can kill the deaf man as much as he wants, but he must let go of the other people on the Dolphin and the survivors on the island. Brother Jue promised to "protect" Graybeard's "treasure" until the latter removed it.
As for the specific operation method of this transaction. Brother Jue has also made arrangements...
The two parties agreed that before twelve o'clock in the morning, Graybeard would recall all pirates from the island and complete their "revenge ceremony."
At twelve o'clock sharp, the eighteen staff members on the island, as well as Clams, Bin Laden, Bubo, and Cap... a total of twenty-two people, will return to the cruise ship.
Feng Bujue... continued to stay in the pirate base.
After confirming that all remote communication equipment on the cruise ship (including the passengers' own) has been destroyed, the pirates will dissolve the metal slurry on the stern and let the Dolphin sail away from Canabis Island.
Afterwards, both sides stood still. Wait two hours...
This period of time is not enough for the Dolphin to sail to any land or island, but it is enough for it to escape the pursuit of the pirates.
This is enough.
When those two hours pass, Feng Bujue will disarm the base's defense system as promised and welcome the pirates...
If this deal is successfully concluded, except for Hui Deaf and Stephen Carbon (Feng Bujue), everyone on the Dolphin can be rescued, and the pirates will have more time to move their "treasure". Because the Dolphin has lost its long-range communication capabilities. It would be at least seven or eight hours before the ship docked and called the police, and then the police arrived... By that time, the pirates had already moved everything they could (anti-gravity catapult technology It is very common in this universe. Carrying heavy objects is not a problem for humans here).
Judging from the results, this transaction caused Graybeard to lose a vein of minerals, a large ransom, and four men (he didn't really care about this). Fortunately, he was still able to take away a large amount of inventory and avoid further losses.
Most importantly...he had his revenge.
On the other side, the vast majority of the program team and the crew of the Dolphin. Then you can escape from the tiger's mouth and save your life.
Overall, this is indeed a result acceptable to both parties.
However... there is still one doubt. Max was puzzled. That's why - why did Stephen Carbon do this?
Obviously, this writer played the most critical role in the entire incident. It is precisely because someone like him is willing to stay on the island, guard the surveillance, and use the destruction of the inventory in the base as a bargaining chip to supervise the pirates' actions that the entire transaction can be guaranteed to go smoothly.
He is like Harry, the protagonist in "Armeddon" (also known as "Armageddon", a film directed by Michael Bay, released in 1998). In the end, he willingly stayed alone on the meteorite, and " "At the end of the day" we will die together.
Although Mr. Carbon will not be killed by a nuclear bomb in a dramatic way, there is no doubt that his final outcome is most likely to be cut to pieces by Graybeard...
Max just didn't understand why a person who kept saying he didn't care about the life and death of the hostages would do such a self-sacrifice to save others? Is he acting? But which one is it about? Is he a hero playing a villain? Or a villain playing hero?
…………
"Hmph... that's fine." Graybeard spat, "In life, there are gains and losses. Today I will get my revenge, and I don't care about anything else."
"Haha..." The man kneeling on the beach, who was not deaf yet, had an indifferent expression on his face. He smiled and said, "Your life is really pathetic, Sheng Dehua..." He raised his head and looked at Gray Beard. One glance, "After you kill me, what will... be left in your life?"
"Ha! Seeing that your life has come to an end, are you starting to be sentimental?" Graybeard sneered, "James, you don't need to worry about my life. When I went to sea at the age of seventeen, I knew that I wouldn't What kind of happy ending... I can tell you right now, I will still drift on the sea for the rest of my life, spend the rest of my life in wine, sex and wealth, and finally die in a misfortune... But no matter what, I still have a son that I am proud of. "
"Really... Is that what you think..." Hui Deaf glanced at Max, "With all due respect... He has become like this. You should blame yourself and feel guilty instead of being proud. Your Pride just reflects your stupidity and selfishness." Due to his injuries, his voice was lifeless, but the words he spoke... were still ringing. "You have turned a genius who may go down in history into someone just like you... You have made his ending as tragic as yours..."
"Shut up!" Graybeard waved his right arm, and there was a piece of human flesh on the iron hook.
Even though the flesh on his cheek was scraped off, he still just grunted before going deaf. It seemed like... he was already numb to the pain.
"You are about to die... and you still want to provoke us father and son? You despicable bastard..." Graybeard said, then took a half step back and took out the saber from his waist.
It was a very gorgeous pirate scimitar. The blade was curved in a wavy shape towards the end of the handle and connected together to form an arc-shaped guard. The golden handle is dotted with dazzling rubies, and the sharp blade shines brightly in the sun after being unsheathed.
"Everyone... everyone watching this video, please listen to me..." Graybeard raised his scimitar in his left hand and said loudly to the camera lens, "This execution... has nothing to do with politics, justice, or justice. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, good or evil..." He paused, "Perhaps most of you think... this man kneeling on the ground is a good man, a decent man. He is a great director and a good father. Good husband...hehe...hahahahaha..." He laughed. Then there was a loud shout, "It doesn't matter!"
The bright scimitar was raised higher and higher, and the gray-bearded figure also limped to the side and rear of the deaf man: "My fellow pirates. As long as you can understand what I said... Today... I, Captain Greybeard, kill the Caribbean Shark in the name of revenge!”
call--
The next second, the knife fell from his hand. Blood splattered five steps.
Graybeard has been single for ten years, and his right hand has a hook. Naturally, I don’t need to elaborate on the strength of his left hand. This knife cut cleanly. The head fell to the ground.
Due to the speed of the knife, the blood on the neck that was not deaf suddenly spurted out. The scene was really spectacular...
The two cameramen responsible for the frontal shooting (both crew members on the ship, who were forcibly captured to film the execution) were so frightened that they fell to the ground, their faces pale.
"Haha...hahahahaha..." Then, Graybeard smiled and looked up to the sky with a smile.
This laughter symbolized a release, a relief... It was as if all his humiliation and hatred had disappeared with laughter.
There are countless stories about revenge in the world, but...the end point of revenge is often destruction, not rebirth.
When the laughter stops, what is left behind is probably only known to those involved.
…………
At 11:45, in the pirate base.
"Have you made up your mind? Stephen." Clams was the last one to go out (the other twenty-one people had already gathered and were waiting in the col outside). He looked at Feng Bujue who stayed in the base. , asked solemnly.
"Of course." Feng Bujue said, "Don't worry, although this plan is risky, it is not difficult to implement." He shrugged, "Besides... only in this way can everyone leave safely."
"Okay..." Clams nodded and looked at him deeply, "I wish you good luck."
"Ha... I'll see you later." Feng Bujue replied.
When the words fell, Clams had turned around and walked towards the outside of the base.
After a while, the team of twenty-two people set off towards the beach...
Brother Jue, who stayed at the base, walked leisurely to a table and put the props on the table into a backpack one by one.
"Very good... Before leaving, you left me all the props in my inventory, and also gave me a bag. It's really generous." He said to himself, "From the surveillance... that kind of thing is called Ju. (In this universe, Jose Mine is something similar to a coal mine. Many people can identify it. Brother Jue has just asked others how to identify it.) There are things nearby. You can find time to dig up a piece later. ...In this way, only the last challenge remains..." (To be continued...)
