Kelly, who was far away in Taipei, would never have thought that Luo Er would use such bloody methods to vent his anger, but the effect was surprisingly effective. At least in the next few years, no force would use its power to overwhelm others. You have to put on a gentle face and be kind to make money.
More than half of the passengers on the "New Order" are mainly Indonesian businessmen. After all, the government of the island to which Taipei belongs, stimulated by U.S. investment, has begun an economic revival. The various industrial and agricultural raw materials needed by the island have Still need to import a lot.
As the largest exporter of raw materials in South Asia, Indonesian businessmen will never ignore buyers' money. Naturally, this route will be bustling with people.
Moreover, the original Philippine country has actually been divided into seven or eight power groups of varying sizes. Before the turmoil subsides, not many businessmen dare to charge into the battle and use their lives to protect others.
Only the Western Japanese merchants, with their strong backing, could safely land ashore and deal with the Luo Security Department, the Moros, and the major local tribes. As for the territory occupied by the Americans, there was even more excitement. speculative boom.
On the faintly white sea, except for the crew on duty, most people on the cruise ship were asleep in the cabin. Even the sailors on the lookout sneaked into the duty room and found a warm place to take a nap; with maritime radar With the monitoring, abnormalities on the route can be discovered immediately, and the function of the lookout hand has immediately degraded to the second line.
On the black-blue sea, the cruise ship split the waves at a constant speed, leaving a curling white line trailing behind it, and no one would notice. A black spot attached to the back is gradually getting bigger.
Lei Biao's "No. 7" large-scale fast coastal patrol boat had already spotted this international route after a long night's journey. Now it took advantage of the darkness on the sea to cling to the back of the cruise ship.
¡°Brigadier, there is not much fuel on the boat. In another thirty minutes, we will have no more diesel,¡± Mu Hai said with a worried look. Wearing a tattered silk shirt. The commander pulled up two layers of fishing nets to cover the main parts of the speedboat, then swayed to Lei Biao's side.
You know, today they are going to do it in the name of pirates. Get on board and do the dirty work. Although this matter has been done smoothly. But it was the first time to use a standard speedboat, and the secret was exposed without covering it up.
Naturally, Lei Biao understands what Mu Hai is thinking. The big hand holding the rifle tightened again and again, and he narrowed his eyes without changing his expression, "Lao Mu, don't worry, there are many cruise ships in front of the oil tanker, and the people on them can't escape, so just work hard."
Since the boss didn¡¯t care, Mu Hai breathed a sigh of relief. If the sky fell, there would be someone taller to hold it up. As long as he could complete Commander Luo¡¯s instructions and retreat quickly afterward.
When the speedboat roared loudly and suddenly, the armed patrol boat that blocked the string cut open two pale water lines, grazed the shadow on the left side of the cruise ship, and quickly attached to the cruise ship.
As he got closer, the eight-story-high hull made Lei Biao realize deeply that the difference between a hundred-ton class and a thousand-ton class was almost like the difference between a child and a strong man; It's not something that ordinary strong men can resist.
Following Lei Biao's gesture, three Visayan sailors, shirtless and holding short knives in their mouths, grasped the railing with one hand and quickly turned the hanging rope of the triangular claw hook with the other hand, their eyes fixed on the cruise ship. deck.
When it comes to making a living at sea, even Lei Biao thinks he is not as good as the sailors in front of him. These veterans, selected from the local pirates, would have disappeared long ago if it weren't for their weird burning knives and high allowances. .
"Hoo, hoo," three steel claws jumped high, dragging the strong rope. Then, with the speed of the speedboat, they quickly hit the railing on the edge of the cruise ship deck. One of them hit the corner string of the ship and bounced. When it fell, the other steel claw was also entangled, and it dived into the water with a thud.
Fortunately, the third steel claw was far away, and with a steady muffled sound, it was firmly clasped on the angle iron under the fence. The sailor took advantage of the situation and pulled it hard a few times, then opened his mouth and faced Lei Biao. Gulu gulu yelled twice.
"Fuck, speak Chinese. You can't be a squad leader. It's not like you can't speak Chinese. No matter how talented you are, you're destined to be a top soldier." With the gun on his shoulder, Lei Biao laughed and cursed, slapped the sailor away, and took the After quickly making a living, the rope tied the speedboat and the cruise ship together.
Mu Hai, who was personally steering the ship, saw Lei Biao's behavior in the cockpit and couldn't help but grit his teeth again. If he wanted to prevent the rope from breaking, he could only carefully stabilize the ship's speed and try to keep up with the cruise ship. Stay in sync.
But now there is really too little fuel on the speedboat. If the pedaling operation goes a little wrong, the cruise ship will definitely throw the speedboat far away, and there will be no way out.
"Ten minutes to count,""Prepare artillery," leaving himself ten minutes to spare, Mu Hai gave the order coldly. The small-caliber artillery and large-caliber machine guns on the speedboat, although dealing with the strong ones are seeking death, but forcing the cruise ship to stop at sea is still Confident.
¡° If it really didn¡¯t work, the only option was to use force to threaten him. Mu Hai glared at Lei Biao on the deck, slowly pushed the operating lever, and tried his best to resist the waves caused by the cruise ship.
Lei Biao on the deck also knew that time was running out. He grabbed the rope and turned around to say hello. Then he stood up and climbed up with his strong arms. In less than thirty seconds, his feet had already stepped on the cold ice of the cruise ship. of the hull.
Behind him, a squad of armed soldiers, carrying weapons on their backs and wearing all kinds of fishermen's coarse cloth jackets, climbed up the rope one after another with their bare feet.
When the last soldier stepped on the ship and had not yet climbed up the railing, the sailor squatting on the side of the bumpy ship impatiently cut the rope with a short knife. Who knows what emergency will happen next moment, it is better to be safe and secure. .
After the rope was detached from the link, the speedboat immediately pulled away, and the weapons covered with waterproof canvas on the deck also showed their ferocious faces; under the control of the sailors, the muzzles of the guns were pointed far above the cruise ship, and bullets and shells were ready to fire.
On the back deck of the cruise ship, under the wet and rusty railings, a pair of big hands full of scars suddenly grasped the steel bars as thick as thumbs. One of Lei Biao's fierce big eyes, with the meaningful eyepatch closed, appeared on the side of the ship.
Glancing around, Lei Biao turned over the railing, took the rifle on his body, and the moment he turned on the safety, the person had already rushed into the black shadow; at the position where he boarded the ship, one by one, vigorous figures quickly climbed up one after another. the deck.
If it weren¡¯t for the potion that greatly increased the strength, the cruise ship¡¯s nearly twenty-meter-high hull would have been enough. At least half of the soldiers. It was impossible to get onto the deck easily.
Without Lei Biao¡¯s orders, the ten soldiers armed with all kinds of old weapons were skillfully divided into five groups and divided into different groups according to their respective tasks. Start occupying key positions on the cruise ship; along the way. Met the crew on duty. Under the threat of the gun, he obediently raised his hands.
A cruise ship without armed protection is in front of even the most rudimentary firearm. He could only surrender in obedience. Soon, the cruise ship's cockpit, power store, and communications were actually held in the hands of the soldiers without firing a shot.
In the cockpit, after the captain, who was smoking a cigarette, was shot to the ground by Lei Biao who suddenly broke in, the first mate, helmsman, and chart watchman in the cabin immediately raised their hands. Everyone knew in their hearts that this voyage Unluckily, Cui met a pirate.
And when the soldiers rushed into the power store at the bottom of the ship, under a burst of gunfire, five Malay crew members fell in a pool of blood, and the oil lines of two roaring large diesel turbine units were also cut off.
The cruise ship that was originally sailing at a speed of fifteen knots slowly stopped, and the faint black smoke disappeared from the huge chimney; "Okay, it finally stopped," Mu Hai, who was sweating profusely, said, I was relieved to slow down the boat speed, and looked at the fuel gauge pointer again. It was almost at the bottom edge.
As the cruise ship stopped, the patrol speedboat also stopped on the spot, but the sailors on the deck nervously opened the gun safety to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to escape from the cruise ship. Of the eight crew members on board, three strong men were quickly dispatched to board the cruise ship in search of fuel.
Lei Biao has nothing to do with the matter, but the time for the speedboat to return is coming soon.
"Okay, let's start taking action. Get the Indonesians on the deck first," Lei Biao, sitting on the high captain's chair in the cockpit, placed his gun on his knees and gave the order coldly.
As a result, wild gunfire began to ring out on the cruise ship. Passengers in the third and second class cabins were knocked over by pistols on the spot. After more than a dozen tough passengers, they obediently walked onto the deck; two soldiers with guns stood on the deck. On the first-class gangway, he did not continue to search upwards.
The chaotic gunshots below naturally alarmed the first-class passengers on the top floor, including Mahmoud, the distinguished guest. Under the dim light in the room, the Indonesian government commissioner quickly got out of bed and hugged him. The suitcase by the bed.
Only the suitcase held tightly in his arms prevented him from panicking and losing control. "Guard, guard, damn it," he shouted loudly. Mahmoud huddled behind the foot of the bed and stared nervously. Close the hatch.
"Commissioner, we are just outside. There should be pirates coming down below, but there are not many of them." The calm voice of the guard leader outside the cabin made Mahmoud's nervous face feel relieved a lot, and he stood relaxed. got up.
"Pirates? This is not far from Palawan. How can the Americans indulge these bandits? Damn it." I don't know whether he was scolding the pirates or the negligent U.S. Navy. Mahmoud put the gun in his arms After pushing the suitcase on the innermost layer under the bed, he pressed the cabin door lock and sat down.On the bed, I raised my ears and listened to what was going on outside.
There are ten passenger cabins in the first-class cabin on the top floor of the cruise ship. Except for Mahmoud, who is afraid of death, the Japanese merchants in the other cabins open the string window curtains with great interest and stretch their heads to look down; pirates are rampant in Southeast Asia. But these people are still very sure about their own safety. After all, the government of their country still has some love. Pirates would not dare to kill Japanese soldiers at will unless they want to be hunted down and exterminated.
"However, they never imagined that the pirate played by Lei Biao didn't care about his identity at all.
On the deck of the cruise ship, a soldier who spoke fluent Riau dialect Malay was yelling at the passengers with a fierce look on his face, "Three hundred dollars per person. If you don't have any money, squat aside and take out the money." "Stand on the back deck," the words were spoken in pure Indonesian official language, causing the horrified passengers to start to react.
No wonder, the co-author was targeted by Indonesian pirates, and the cruise ship was heading towards Jakarta.
Under the pressure of gunpoint, and there are bloody examples, wealthy passengers paid to avoid disasters, while some people were worried about money and followed those who could not afford the money to the rear deck.
There were nearly 700 passengers, but 500 people rushed to the rear deck. Soon there were less than 200 passengers left on the front deck; looking around, almost all of them were foreign tourists, and there were only a few with dark faces.
Standing outside the cockpit, Lei Biao looked at the front deck, with a sneer on his lips, and then got into the cabin again. He still had something to do, and there were the original pirate backbone outside to handle it.
After paying the ransom, the passengers on the front deck were kindly driven into their cabins and given a warning. No one would risk their lives to watch the fun.
On the rear deck. Before the crowded passengers had time to stand firm, those with sharp eyes suddenly discovered the two passages leading to the front deck. Two machine guns were quietly set up. Soldier holding a machine gun. He was slowly pulling the gun.
"No way, you dare to shoot without money? There are hundreds of people here," a few smart passengers were suspicious. Just as he had time to lower his waist, he heard the sound of rapid shooting.
"Da da da, da da da da da," two machine guns spitting out scorching flames suddenly unleashed a large hail of bullets at the passengers on the rear deck. Even the soldiers standing on the second floor monitoring were fired. He pulled the triggers of his pistol and rifle downwards.
"Da da da, da da,", "bang, bam," for a time, amid the roaring screams, on the back deck of more than 30 meters long, the dead and injured people who fell to the ground were trampled continuously. People who were escaping were constantly shot to the ground by bullets, and screams and cries for help resounded across the sea.
"Boom, boom," the red-eyed soldier simply threw the grenade, shocking the guards who were peeping on the third floor to death. The foreign devils who were watching the show also hurriedly tightened the curtains. , hiding in bed and covering his head.
Cruel, the pirates that have been killed in these days, people who have no money really can't live. Although they kept cursing in their hearts, the first -class passengers on the third floor were tacitly returned to the cabin.
In less than ten minutes of violence, almost all the Indonesians on the cruise ship were killed. Although there were also naturalized and semi-naturalized Chinese on board, they were no longer outsiders that Lei Biao had considered. , can you also speak Chinese?
The word "banana" probably came from Zhang Zhuowen's mouth. When Lei Biao heard it for the first time, he couldn't help but laugh with his hands in his hands. The yellow skin and white heart were so apt that he really should be killed.
Carrying a small bag full of beautiful knives, Lei Biao saw the signal from Mu Hai on the sea in the distance, so he snorted coldly and kicked the door out of the cab. As soon as he walked to the deck, he heard a signal coming from the cab. There was a crisp sound of gunfire.
"Pirates, they are indeed extremely ruthless, leaving no way out for others. With a curse in his mouth, Lei Biao led a close soldier and started to disembark along the hanging ladder outside the string.
Twenty minutes later, the patrol speedboat brought enough fuel, gathered the retreating soldiers, and roared towards the distant sea.
There was a deathly silence on the cruise ship. Whether they were hiding in the first class cabin or huddled in other cabins, they could not help but let out a sigh of relief as they listened to the distant sound of the engine. The damn pirates were finally gone, and their old lives were gone. Also saved.
However, the strong smell of blood in the air made everyone know that the men and women on the back deck basically had no hope of survival. pirate! pirate! There must be revenge, revenge for the victims. The survivors on the cruise ship, regardless of their status, all had unspeakable resentment in their minds.
After confirming that it was safe, Mahmoud walked out of the cabin. Although he hugged the suitcase tightly, the sadness and indignation on his face was not adulterated at all. He covered his nose and glanced at the deck for a few times, and then hid back in the cabin.
"It's not good, the ship is sinking, hurry in and escape." Just when everyone was panicking, a crew member hiding in the utility room screamed and ran onto the deck and began to look for the lifeboat on the side of the ship. He didn't even care about the thick blood stains on the soles of his shoes.
Lei Biao¡¯s group of soldiers are usually veteran pirates. How can they leave such a big hand behind? Just destroying the sea valve in the bottom cabin is already the end of their kindness.
What's more, the meager income of 40,000 U.S. dollars was less than 2,000 U.S. dollars. This business trip was a huge loss.
The shouts of the crew immediately plunged the cruise ship into a panic. Passengers cursed loudly and started a frenzy to grab the lifebuoy with their belongings.
At this moment, the sky has darkened without realizing it, the waves are churning, dark clouds are rising suddenly, and another typhoon is coming.
On the speedboat that returned quickly, even though the waves became more and more turbulent, everyone's joy of returning from victory could not be concealed. After an hour's journey, the speedboat, still concealed, sailed into the Sulu waters.
Lei Biao was holding a cigar with a smile, looking through the stolen communication code book, joking with Mu Hai who looked relaxed for a while, and suddenly slapped his forehead and asked loudly, "It's broken, it's broken, sir Luo?" If you want to destroy the cruise ship, you won't be following the old rules, right?"
In the cockpit filled with the rumbling of machines, a few skeletons stared with big eyes. Seeing Brigadier Lei's complexion turn dark, they immediately tightened their necks; "Fuck, this is a waste of money, the cruise officer must have taken a liking to it, you guys" He said, I damaged the cruise ship booked by the security department, I can afford to pay for it,"
Amidst Lei Biao¡¯s furious roar, the rain started pouring down.
