Every time Li Cheng came to see Li Mo, it meant that a day had passed outside. On the eighteenth day, Li Cheng brought him news that the merchant ship had entered the Indian Ocean. If nothing happened, it would arrive at a port in Africa in another week. At that time, he would have a chance to escape. .
"What happened to the injury on your face?" The injury on Li Mo's body has healed, leaving several scars. When he was upset, he would practice Tai Chi over and over again in the utility room to calm his mind. Otherwise, it would be strange for anyone to not be driven crazy after being locked up in this dark place for nearly twenty days.
The left side of Li Cheng's face was obviously swollen, and he seemed to have some problems with his legs when walking.
"Li Jiayu went crazy after drinking and shot three crew members. Now the people above are panicking. I'm really worried that Li Jiayu will go completely crazy before he reaches Africa. The bodyguards around him are all desperadoes themselves. If they go crazy together, there will be no danger on the ship. No one will be left alive. Li Mo, is there anything you can do?"
Li Mo sat on the ground, eating bread and drinking water. After a while, he said coldly: "Li Jiayu and I are fighting to the death. After they all fall asleep drunk tonight, I will take action. I must not sit back and wait for death."
"No, there are at least five armed desperadoes outside protecting him every night. You have no chance of getting close to him."
"Get me a structural diagram of Shanglun, and I will find a way. Don't stay up there then. If I can get rid of those people above, you can show up again."
"But if you fail, everyone on the ship will be shot by the angry Li Jiayu."
Li Cheng didn't know Li Mo's fighting ability, so he wouldn't agree to such a risky thing easily.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Instead of worrying here, it's better to give it a try."
Da da da-
The two were still communicating quietly in the utility room, when suddenly there was intensive gunfire outside. Li Cheng's expression changed drastically, and he immediately hid behind the door and took out a gun from his waistband.
"Made, that bastard is really crazy. Li Mo, they are about to reach the last floor by the sound of gunfire. You should take care to hide yourself."
Li Mo stood up and looked intently, and saw a young man suddenly rushing out from the end of the corridor outside, covered in blood, and he was beating on a bedroom door.
Click, click, click, there was another burst of gunfire, and the young man slowly collapsed on the walkway at the door, and then he saw two heavily armed men approaching the bedroom with guns in hand.
"How's your shooting skills?"
Li Mo walked beside Li Cheng and asked softly.
"never play it."
"Give me the gun."
Li Cheng hesitated and handed the gun to Li Mo. At this time, he could only place his hope on this man who had repeatedly created miracles.
In the corridor outside, two desperadoes were shooting wildly at the bedroom door. Li Mo took the opportunity to open the door, held the gun with both hands, and shot twice.
The corridor suddenly became quiet, and the strong smell of blood filled the small space. Li Cheng stretched his head and took a look. Good guy, it turned out that Li Mo was a master of playing with guns and killed him with a gun.
"Li Cheng, I'll walk in front, and you'll show the way from behind. Follow my orders and we'll fight our way out." Li Mo originally wanted to change to a powerful spear, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle it the first time, so a pistol was more convenient.
Li Cheng picked up a gun from the two desperadoes and picked up two boxes of magazines. Then he pointed forward and said: "Turn left ahead and go to the stairs at the top."
Li Mo nodded and glanced around. There were no desperadoes at the lowest level, they should be somewhere else. The two climbed out of the bottom floor one after another. Li Cheng immediately covered his mouth and nose, looking like he wanted to gag.
Six corpses lay in the aisle in front of them. The ground was covered with blood. Their lives had disappeared.
"Li Mo, let's get out of here quickly."
Li Mo suddenly raised his hand to signal him to be quiet, then held the gun in both hands and aimed at the end of the aisle. Li Cheng suddenly became nervous and picked up his spear regardless of the disgusting scene.
About five seconds later, two desperadoes turned and appeared in front of them.
Li Mo fired without hesitation, and the two gunshots directly hit their heads.
"Do you know why Li Jiayu took action so early?"
"According to the current speed, we will soon leave the high seas and enter the controlled waters of other countries. It will not be illegal to kill any number of people on the high seas. Moreover, there are many merchant ships traveling to and from the Indian Ocean, and there are even some escort ships, etc. At that time, it will be difficult to silence and eradicate the roots. Li Jiayu wants to erase all traces related to him, so we people will definitely not leave any traces alive. Li Mo, let’s get out quickly, otherwise we will be blocked by them down here. That’s troublesome.”
"Let's go." Li Mo also knew that the situation was serious. He speeded up in front while Li Cheng showed the way from behind. Soon, they climbed onto the wheel board, and suddenly the sea breeze blew on them. Li Mo used the light on the wheel board to see the world outside Shanglun.
All around you are the boundless sea, and the vastness makes people feel a deep sense of fear. Standing here, I feel how small I am, just a drop in the ocean compared to the human world.
"careful."
Li Cheng suddenly shouted and threw Li Mo down, hiding in the aisle between the containers. The gunshots sounded almost simultaneously, and fire could be seen spraying in the night.
Li Mo shuddered and was in a trance just now.
"There are a lot of containers here. We can't be blocked by them. Let's move quickly."
Li Moyitong had already seen six gunmen outflanking this side. He pulled Li Chengcheng and ran towards another passage. He turned twice before stopping. Then he looked at the container in front of him, pointed to it, and asked He stepped on his shoulders and climbed up to hide without making a sound.
After Li Cheng hid, Li Mo ran into another passage, and soon there were two gunshots. Then came the spray of sparks, and the other four people fired wildly.
It's a pity that they didn't see clearly who was shooting.
One of them raised his hand to signal, and the four of them separated. As soon as one of them entered a passage, he felt a shadow shrouding his head. Before he could react, he heard the sound of his throat bones breaking, and then his head felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer and fell into darkness.
Li Mo pulled out a dagger from his body and disappeared into the darkness again.
There was no gunshot again, and just when Li Cheng felt uneasy, he heard someone knocking on the container.
"Come down."
"Have you solved all of them?"
"Well, just a few desperadoes."
"There is another desperado, we must not be careless."
"It's okay, just hide behind me."
In the Shanglun control cabin, a shaved Li Jiayu sat on a chair with a gun in his hand. There was a small half bottle of foreign wine on the table at hand. His eyes seemed to be red from death, and they were bloodshot under the light. Not far away, there were three people squatting. Their faces were pale with fright, and their eyes were panicked. They were really afraid that this murderous devil would shoot them.
At this time, the last desperado walked into the control cabin and said coldly: "The four people who went down were all shot in the head. I checked the surveillance camera and found that there is one person on the ship besides Li Cheng."
"who?"
Li Jiayu's eyes widened, revealing a naked and fierce look.
"Li Mo."
Li Jiayu stood up suddenly and shouted in shock: "What are you talking about, Li Mo is not dead? Why is he on the boat? Yes, that bastard Li Cheng must have saved him. Mad, I should have killed him long ago That’s right.”
bang bang—
Suddenly two gunshots rang out, two bullets penetrated the cabin glass, one blew out the last desperado's head, and the other bullet hit Li Jiayu's chest.
With a plop, Li Jiayu hit the chair behind him. Blood came out of his chest, but he was still roaring crazily. He subconsciously pulled the spear in his hand, spraying sparks. The first to suffer were the three people not far away. They fell into a pool of blood and twitched for a few times before becoming motionless.
All the bullets in the spear were empty. Li Jiayu covered his chest with blood spraying from the corner of his mouth. Li Mo walked into the control cabin and stared at him with cold eyes.
"No, the captain and mate are both dead."
Li Cheng followed him in and saw that the expressions of the three people lying in a pool of blood changed. The people at the helm were all dead. Who could control this merchant ship? With so many instruments, once there are waves in the Indian Ocean, the merchant ship will easily deviate from the channel and then float in the ocean like a lonely ghost. Unless you are lucky and can be saved by encountering other merchant ships, if you are unlucky, the ship may deviate from the safe channel and run aground on the rocks, or even sink.
"Hahaha, if we die, we will die together. It's enough for me to be buried with you." Li Jiayu's eyes showed a crazy look, "It's a pity that I couldn't kill you with my own hands, Li Mo. I lost to you in this life, and I won't do it again in the next life." Give you a chance."
"Next life? Do you have a next life?" Li Mo raised his gun and pointed it between his eyebrows.
"Li Mo, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost. Let's have another fight in the underworld."
boom--
The gun rang out, and Li Jiayu's head tilted and he lost his breath.
"You won't have another life."
Li Mo turned around and walked out of the control cabin, standing on the ship's deck and looking at the vast sea. The stars in the sky hung all the way to the end of the sea. The ship was still driving on autopilot, breaking through the sea and causing countless waves.
After a long time, Li Chengcai walked up to him and whispered: "I went down and checked, and there are no survivors. We can only resign ourselves to fate and hope that we can encounter other merchant ships when the sun rises tomorrow."
"The satellite phone is also damaged?"
"Well, otherwise we wouldn't be able to resign ourselves to fate. Li Mo, are you afraid of death?"
"I have died twice, and I may not be so afraid of death. I just didn't expect that the grudge between Li Jiayu and I would be resolved here."
"Will you keep the promise you made to me before?"
Li Mo walked to the edge of the boat and silently felt the surrounding environment. He never answered. When Li Cheng asked again, he said in a deep voice: "I will definitely keep the promise I made, and that is if I come back alive." But it’s unclear whether we can survive this night.”
Li Cheng couldn't help but trembled and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I have a vague illusion that the threat from the sea is just ahead." Li Mo pointed forward, and the all-devouring darkness gave him a faint fear that made his skin crawl all over.
"Li Cheng, we need to make some preparations."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Li Cheng looked at the darkness, unless he didn't feel anything except the fishy sea breeze.
The two of them found four thick-backed machetes, ropes, some emergency medicines, food and drink in the storage compartment, all packed in canvas bags.
"Li Mo, are we worrying too much?"
Li Mo shook his head while packing his things and said, "Trust my intuition."
"There are more than ten escape boats at the stern. If the merchant ship really hits the rocks, we will leave in the escape boats."
After everything was done, Li and Mo sat on the ground in the cabin, leaning against the wall and waiting slowly. Waiting for luck to come, waiting for unknown danger to strike.
In a daze, the two of them were awakened by a rumbling sound. Li Mo opened his eyes and immediately ran outside. He saw thousands of meters away in front of him, red-hot magma clashed with the pressure of the sea water, rushed into the sky, pierced the darkness, and illuminated the world.
"It's an underground volcano erupting, Li Mo. Huge waves are about to hit. Let's find a place to stabilize ourselves quickly so we don't get shaken and fall into the sea."
Li Cheng shouted sternly, pulling Li Mo back to the cabin in a panic, then picked up the rope from the table and entangled himself with an iron pillar in the cabin. Li Mo did as he was told, and his sense of life and death crisis came true again, and he actually encountered an underground volcano erupting.
As soon as he secured himself to the iron pillar, he felt that the entire huge merchant ship began to shake violently. They were thrown up by the turbulent waves, as if they were flying into the air. Then, like sitting in a swooping airplane and picking it up downwards, the containers outside the merchant ship began to tilt to one side.
Li Cheng was so frightened that his face lost all color. He closed his eyes and let out a high-frequency scream. It was an instinctive reaction in the face of fear.
Li Mo is better, but this feeling of not being able to keep his feet on the ground has also brought him a lot of psychological pressure. The submarine volcano in the distance was still erupting, and waves of waves rolled over it, covering the entire merchant ship with sea water.
The bow of the ship tilted high, and then dived into the sea.
"Li Cheng, we can't go on like this. If the merchant ship is overturned, we won't even have a chance to escape."
"Li Cheng, Li Cheng."
Li Cheng didn't respond, and he stopped screaming. Li Mo looked around hurriedly. He was foaming at the mouth and his whole body was twitching.
"No, maybe I'm sick."
Li Mo's heart tightened, and he stretched out his legs to kick him twice. Just as he was about to shout a few more times, he suddenly felt that Shanglun was hit by another huge and strong wave. The Shanglun seemed to be spinning and tilting towards one eye. Don't tie yourself to the iron pillar, he will fly out long ago.
There was a very harsh friction sound outside, probably caused by the containers moving on the deck.
He was thrown up into the sky and pulled down again.
The feeling of life being worse than death even made Li Mo a little out of control and his head was a little confused. He knew he couldn't pass out at this moment, so he bit the tip of his tongue hard. The pain stimulated him to wake up suddenly.
Underground volcanoes in the Indian Ocean erupted, causing strong earthquakes and then tsunamis. No matter what kind of ship it is, it has no resistance at all under the power of nature.
Li Mo gritted his teeth and persisted. He didn't know how long it took. Just when he was exhausted and his eyes were blurred, he suddenly felt a strong vibration, and then heard various crashes and falling water outside one after another, as if the end was coming. .
The waves outside seemed to have calmed down a lot. Li Mo pinched the flesh on his inner thigh again, and it hurt for a long time when the place was twisted. He steeled himself and shouted: "Li Cheng, Li Cheng, are you still alive?"
There was no sound. Li Cheng lowered his head. If it weren't for the rope tied to him, he would have flown out of the cabin at some point.
Li Mo untied the rope and reached out to touch the main artery in his neck. There was no pulse. He was not killed by Li Jiayu and those desperadoes, but was frightened to death by the power of nature.
It is not known where the merchant ship was carried by the tsunami, but the power of the waves outside was obviously weakening. And now that the merchant wheel has stopped, many huge shadows can be seen faintly in the distance in the dark night.
Li Mo walked outside the cabin and glanced with his strange eyes. He saw that the huge merchant ship had hit a rock. It was knocked out of a huge hole in the right-hand position, and seawater poured in.
"In another hour or two, this merchant ship will completely tilt and sink. We can no longer stay here."
Li Mo knew that in this vast ocean, once the merchant ship sank, it would cause a huge whirlpool siphon, and nothing could escape the power of the vortex. He returned to the cabin and glanced at Li Cheng, whose body was gradually stiffening: "As long as I am still alive, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
The things that had been packed long ago had fallen apart, some were soaked in the water, and some were missing. The only things that could be found at the scene were two machetes, six bottles of mineral water, and some biscuits and snacks.
He found another piece of cloth and wrapped the last thing on his back, then carried a machete and walked to the stern of the ship. All the containers on the deck had disappeared. Fortunately, there were still two escape boats left.
The tilt of the merchant ship became more and more obvious. It took Li Mo more than 20 minutes to put down the two escape boats. He followed the climbing ladder to the boat, tied the two boats together with a rope, and then started rowing vigorously. Landing.
As he rowed along the current, he got farther and farther away from Shang Lun, until Li Mo could no longer see the outline of Shang Lun in the black screen.
Li Mo did not relax and continued paddling until he became more and more tired. He finally exhaled a breath and lay down in the escape boat slowly and closed his eyes. He could no longer hold on. Life or death was no longer up to him. , leave it to God.
At some point, it started pouring rain, which made my face hurt even when it hit me. Li Mo stuck out his tongue in a daze, greedily catching the rainwater. Moisturizes the throat and replenishes the missing water in the body. He regained some of his energy and sat up in the escape boat. The sky was already slightly bright, the sea around him was dark blue, and he also saw many kinds of sea fish swimming around the escape boat.
My ears also heard the chirping of birds, which was very dense.
Birdsong?
Li Mo's brain suddenly woke up. If a bird appeared, it meant that there must be land or an island nearby. He looked up again and saw many large birds hovering in the sky, feeling the joy of surviving the disaster in his heart.
But before he could be happy, he saw the hovering birds swooping down one by one, like fighter jets, turning into arrows and diving into the sea to catch the fish. The scene was so spectacular that one could even hear the sound of rushing and roaring through the air.
Dozens of seabirds plunged into the sea next to the escape boat. He no longer hesitated and grabbed the seabird behind him. The seabird that had just popped its head was caught by his neck, and there was still a full-foot-long seabird in its mouth. A sea fish weighing seven or eight pounds.
Li Mo did not kill the bird, but snatched the sea fish from its mouth and released it. The seabird was frightened and flew into the sky in a hurry.
He is very hungry now. If he doesn't add something, his body will definitely not be able to bear it. There were some biscuits and snacks in the bag on his back, but they were all dry and he had to drink water after every bite. He wanted to save them for last resort only if he had no choice.
He quickly processed the sea fish with a machete, and soon Li Mo was eating it raw. He thought it would be difficult to eat, but after eating two pieces of fish, his eyes lit up. It seemed that the meat tasted quite good.
“The sea fish used in those cooking shops is definitely not fresh enough.”
He ate all the fish weighing seven or eight pounds, and threw the fish bones into the sea to feed other fish. After resting in the escape boat for half an hour, Li Mo began to paddle in one direction.
He had observed that flocks of seabirds in the sky flew from that direction, and after catching sea fish, they flew back again. That is to say, if you keep moving in that direction, you will definitely be able to see land or islands.
This gave him hope.
After paddling for about half an hour, it was getting brighter, and Li Mo finally saw a dark outline in front of him. The further he went, the more types of seabirds there were in the sky, and he also saw many rocks protruding from the sea.
There is an island ahead. No matter what, this gives people a much greater sense of security than floating on the sea.
