Xu Dalong, who was in the ventilation duct, knew very well that he was unarmed at the time. When the hostages were controlled by the other party, fighting head-on was obviously not an option. He then looked for a hiding place.
Xu Dalong saw the ventilation duct above the cabin and got in decisively. He sat inside and listened to what was going on outside.
Among these pirates, most of them spoke local dialects that Xu Dalong could not understand. Fortunately, some people spoke English. After hearing the general idea, Xu Dalong already knew that these people were pirates. The freighter had changed its course after being controlled by them, and it should be heading to their base. Xu Dalong didn't know where the pirates' base was. He thought it should be an island. There should be more pirates on the island than on this ship. Once you get there, it will be even more difficult to escape. Therefore, he hoped to take action at sea in time to get rid of this group of pirates.
As God wished, it was already night, and the freighter was still sailing on the sea. This gave me the opportunity to recapture the freighter. Xu Dalong didn't know anything about the situation outside the ventilation duct, and hoped to learn more about it through Ai Jiabao, so he planned to ask her.
But he was worried that Jiabao would scream in fear and alert the nearby pirates. When he heard Ai Jiabao's voice, Xu Dalong was secretly glad and admired Ai Jiabao's ability to remain calm.
He lowered his voice and asked: "How many pirates are on the ship? Where are the others being held except you?"
At that time, Ai Jiabao and all the crew members were locked in a cabin near the engine room, and were later taken over and held in solitary confinement. During this period, she saw pirates on the ship, but she could not see all parts of the ship from her position. There were about seven or eight pirates she saw at that time. So she told Xu Dalong what she learned.
Xu Dalong judged that the number of pirates who boarded the freighter should be about ten to twenty, and there should be dozens of pirates on the sailing ship. This means that Xu Dalong has to kill these pirates on the freighter by himself, and also has to deal with the pirate's motorboat that is following behind.
Xu Dalong was very confident about whether he could kill these pirates on the freighter. But Xu Dalong couldn't help but be a little worried about the pirates on the motorboat. He didn't know if there were heavy weapons such as artillery on the ship. Even if it only had heavy machine guns, it would be very troublesome.
Xu Dalong said to Ai Jiabao: "Don't say anything, wait for my news."
Ai Jiabao asked: "What are you going to do?"
Xu Dalong said: "I want to deal with the pirates on the freighter and recapture the freighter."
Ai Jiabao said in surprise: "Only you? How is this possible? You'd better not take risks, hide and find an opportunity to send a distress signal."
Xu Dalong said: "You don't have to worry, I have my own way. I need your help."
Ai Jiabao didn't understand Xu Dalong and asked doubtfully, "How can I help you?"
Xu Dalong fumbled and came down from the ventilation duct after a while. He said to Garbo: "You managed to trick the pirates outside into coming in."
Ai Jiabao said: "This is not difficult, but can you deal with them?"
Xu Dalong said calmly: "Don't worry, leave everything to me."
Although Ai Jiabao couldn't see Xu Dalong's face clearly, his calm voice gave Ai Jiabao great confidence. These days, she has been getting along with Xu Dalong, and she can clearly feel that Xu Dalong is a firm and confident person with a unique and convincing temperament.
Although Ai Jiabao felt that it was a bit risky to rely on Xu Dalong alone, she knew what her fate would be if she was taken to the pirates' lair. She also hoped to fight to the death, so she said: "Okay."
Ai Jiabao walked to the cabin door, and with the help of the faint moonlight, he saw Xu Dalong hiding on the edge of the cabin door.
So she pushed open the hatch. There was a sentry not far outside the cabin door. Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, the sentry immediately turned around, raised his gun and asked warily: "Who is it?"
Ai Jiabao said delicately: "Sir, my foot is sprained and it hurts a lot. Please rub it for me." After saying that, she took off the slipper on her right foot, revealing a foot with fair and delicate skin and graceful lines. feet come.
The lights in the cabin were on at this time, and the sentry could clearly see Ai Jiabao's actions. The sentry couldn't resist the huge temptation of Ai Jiabao, and a silver evil smile appeared on his face.
He put the gun on his body and said, "Okay, let me massage it for you. I have learned massage, and I guarantee that I will be satisfied with my skills." After that, he walked into the cabin.
After the sentry entered, all his attention was focused on Ai Jiabao, and he never thought that there was a person hidden behind the hatch.
Xu Dalong suddenly took action, covering the pirate sentry's mouth with one hand, holding his head with the other hand, and twisted hard, with a soft "click" sound, the sentry's throat was severed, and he His eyes suddenly opened wide, and then his whole body went limp.
Ai Jiabao didn't expect Xu Dalong's skills to be so good. He covered his mouth with his hands in surprise, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Xu Dalong admired Ai Jiabao's calmness very much. After nodding towards her, he searched the sentry's body and found a dagger on his body.
Xu Dalong pulled the dagger out of the scabbard, looked at it, then put the dagger on his waist, took the gun on the sentry, and said to Ai Jiabao: "You stay here, I will deal with the other pirates. "
Ai Jiabao was still a little worried. After all, there were so many pirates on the ship. He was afraid that Xu Dalong could not deal with them alone, so he said, "I'll go with you."
At that time, horse riding, fencing and other sports were popular in the upper class of the country. Ai Jiabao was born into a wealthy family, so naturally he also learned these sports. She has very good physical fitness and good skills. She feels that she can help Xu Dalong.
Xu Dalong shook his head and said very confidently: "No need, just stay and protect yourself." After saying that, Xu Dalong did not wait for Ai Jiabao's reaction, exited the hatch and quickly closed the hatch.
Xu Dalong first quietly came to the stern of the ship and saw a pirate on guard there. He pulled out his dagger and quietly walked toward the sentry.
At this time, the pirate was sitting on a chair, facing the sea, not knowing what he was thinking. Xu Dalong's footsteps were extremely light. The roar of the ship's engine and the crashing of the waves completely covered up the slight sound. Until Xu Dalong came behind him, the pirate did not notice at all.
Xu Dalong wanted to know the situation of this group of pirates, especially their distribution on the freighter, so he decided to keep them alive for the time being. He suddenly reached out and covered the sentry's mouth, put a dagger to his throat, and said in English: "If you want to live, don't struggle."
Southeast Asia also includes Yindudu. Many of them are British settlements, and English is also one of the official languages. Xu Dalong does not know the local language, so he hopes that the sentry pirate can understand it.
The pirates were stunned by the sudden attack and instinctively wanted to struggle. When he heard Xu Dalong's words, he felt the coldness of the sharp edge of the dagger, and obediently gave up resistance.
Xu Dalong pushed the sentry down on the deck, knelt on him with one knee, and pressed him firmly on the deck, while the dagger was still pressed against his throat.
Xu Dalong said: "Whatever I ask you, you have to answer honestly, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
As he spoke, he lightly scratched his neck with the dagger.
The sentry felt the pain of the knife cutting his skin and nodded slightly to express his submission.
The questioning process went very smoothly. The sentry truthfully explained the distribution of pirates on the freighter and the pirates on the motorboat following them. For the sake of the sentry's cooperation, and because Xu Dalong would need to learn more about the pirate base in the future, he decided to keep him. He stretched out his palm and hit the sentinel on the head, knocking him unconscious, then lifted him up and brought him to Ai Jiabao's cabin.
Ever since Xu Dalong left, Ai Jiabao has been very worried. When she heard the sound coming from outside the cabin, she became more and more nervous.
All the sharp objects in the cabin had been taken away by the pirates. In order to protect herself, Ai Jiabao could only pick up a chair and prepare to smash it down if any pirates broke in.
Xu Dalong knew very well that Ai Jiabao must be very vigilant at this time. In order to avoid misunderstanding, after opening the cabin door, he did not come in directly, but whispered through the crack of the door: "Look at the door, it's me."
Hearing this, Ai Jiabao hurriedly put down the chair in his hand and reached out to open the hatch. When she saw the pirate sentries dragged in by Xu Dalong, she became more and more impressed by Xu Dalong's skills.
Xu Dalong handed the dagger in his hand to Ai Jiabao and said, "Tear off some strips of cloth." Then he stood at the door, looked outside, and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
Ai Jiabao was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't understand what Xu Dalong was going to do? But she was very smart and reacted instantly. She took the dagger from Xu Dalong's hand, cut some holes in the sheets, and quickly tore off several long strips of cloth. Without waiting for Xu Dalong's instructions, he carefully tied up the sentry's hands and feet, took the pillow and stuffed it into the sentry's mouth.
Xu Dalong admired Ai Jiabao's actions very much and asked, "Can you use a gun?"
Hunting is also a popular sport among the nobles of the Ying Kingdom. As a woman, Ai Jiabao does not like hunting very much, but she is often invited to participate in hunting activities and is still very good at using firearms. She nodded and said, "It will work."
Xu Dalong handed over the newly captured sentry's rifle and said, "The bullet is in that guy's body."
Xu Dalong was very attentive. He heard that Ai Jiabao could use guns and guessed that she could use a shotgun. However, he was still a little worried about whether Ai Jiabao was familiar with the British-made rifles used by the sentries.
He watched Ai Jiabao take out the bullet from the sentry and load the bullet skillfully. Then he felt relieved and said to her: "You stay here and protect yourself." After that, he walked out.
"Please wait a moment." Ai Jiabao stopped him and continued: "There is still so much sea on the ship. I will go with you."
If it were an ordinary person, most of them would want to have a helper to deal with so many pirates on the ship, but Xu Dalong believed that this was not necessary at all. He didn't want to have a woman next to him when he was doing it, as that would become a burden to him.
He said decisively: "No need. Just protect yourself and leave the rest to me." After that, he left the hatch.
Ai Jiabao's good intentions were rejected, and she felt that Xu Dalong looked down upon her, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry. However, she has seen Xu Dalong's skills and trusts him very much. So I decided to listen to his advice and stay in the warehouse.
Instead of closing the hatch tightly, she left it wide open. Rifle in hand, she stood guard at the door, ready to go out and help.
Xu Dalong had figured out the situation of the pirates on the ship through the captured sentry. There were a total of 16 pirates who boarded the ship. There were only two sentries at night, one guarding the door of Aigabo and the other at the stern of the ship. There is no sentry on the bow of the ship because it is not necessary. The traditional situation can be seen clearly in the wheelhouse.
Two of the pirates on the freighter were in the cab, and four were in a cabin in the middle of the freighter, responsible for watching over the seamen on the freighter. The other five people lived in two cabins. There is a leader living alone in a room at the stern of the ship. The other four men lived in a cabin, and their task was to take turns standing guard on the ship in place of the sentinels.
Xu Dalong decided to first deal with the pirates who were preparing to replace the sentries. They were the most vigilant and would be attacked after a while, which was relatively troublesome.
Xu Dalong walked into the cabin. The long corridor was lit with lights, but no one was guarding it. This is easy to understand. After all, we are on the vast sea. There are sentries on the ship, followed by motors and sailboats, so the pirates naturally do not need to be on guard.
He easily reached the cabin where the pirates on duty lived. He put his ear against the door of the cabin, but still couldn't hear what was going on inside. So he reached for the handle and gently pushed the hatch open.
Because they had to take turns standing guard, some pirates slept lightly. He heard the sound of the hatch, opened his eyes and saw someone walking in.
Although the lights were on in the corridor at this time, Xu Dalong's face was turned away from the lights. The lights were turned off in the cabin and it was dark, so the pirates could not see clearly. He thought it was the sentry who was standing guard returning to change his guard.
He cursed dissatisfiedly: "Damn it, why is it so fast?"
Xu Dalong snorted softly in his nose, and then walked straight to the pirate who spoke.
The pirate felt that Xu Dalong was very rude. He was about to say something, but Xu Dalong reached out and covered his mouth. Then his throat was slit with a dagger, and he died silently on the bed.
The other three pirates in the cabin were all sleeping deeply, probably because they knew that their shift change was still very early, so they were very relaxed. Dealing with these pirates who slept like silk and bamboo, Xu Dalong had no trouble and quickly eliminated them all.
