Chapter 52: Arms Dealers

The robbed armed pirate ship sailed in the sea for almost two hours. :3W looked at the GPS locator and frowned, "This is our target sea area." According to the plan, Fernandez should be here to pick us up. ”

"I've been around the area a few times and no other ships have been found on the surface. Are you sure it's here?" Qin Fen whispered with some uneasiness.

"I'm sure it's the location. Shogishi sighed and said, "Perhaps, we found the right place, but the plan changed." ”

Zhao Jianfei walked over and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, let's contact the Shendao base again." If it doesn't work, we'll go back on our own. For another five hours of sailing, there should be enough fuel on board. ”

Lin Rui shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm worried about. ”

"And what are you worried about?" said Ivan, frowning.

"What kind of person Fernandez is, everyone knows what he said, when does it not count, even if the plan changes, he will not leave us without contacting us. Lin Rui stared at the sea with flickering eyes, and said in a low voice, "If he must do this, there must be some more urgent reason." Do you see the surface of the sea?"

"Huh?" Zhao Jianfei turned his head and said, "Is there anything special?"

"Oil. Lin Rui said slowly, "Generally speaking, the ship's power engine qΓ¬ is two to three, most of them are three power machines, and the power generation is another. The ship's engine is all powered by engines from Western countries such as Britain and the United States, and each engine must be equipped with a thruster. This means that you have to carry enough fuel on board. If our ship sinks, there will be a conspicuous oil stain floating on the surface of the sea. ”

"You mean...... FernΓ‘ndez's ship sank?" Ivan said movingly.

"I'm just sure there's a ship sinking, but it's not Fernandez, I'm not sure. Lin Rui looked at the wind direction, turned to Qin Fen and said, "According to this wind direction and the speed of the ocean current, drive out for two to three kilometers in the southwest direction." I think there might be some discoveries. ”

Qin Fen looked at Zhao Jianfei with inquiring eyes, Zhao Jianfei nodded and said, "Do as he says, we have to determine whether Fernandez is safe." ”

"Why do we care about that old fellow?" Yelena said coldly, "Can't we just go back to the Sinking Island?"

"There's only one reason, the old guy isn't there. The sunken island base may not be safe. Lin Rui said calmly, "And we must determine this before we can consider whether to return to the Sinking Island." ”

Shogishi sighed and said, "That's exactly what I'm thinking about. "It's a heavy question, so heavy that it weighs on everyone's heart. All the team members were silent, Qin Fen didn't say anything more, turned around, and headed towards the southwest of the tailwind.

With a swift sail, it didn't take long for them to make new discoveries. Yelena held the sniper rifle and said in a deep voice, "On the left, about two hundred meters, there are corpses on the sea. "With her sniper rifle scope, she can clearly see objects floating in the sea in the distance.

Upon approaching, they discovered that it was indeed a corpse. The deceased was a black man, apparently an armed pirate. Zhao Jianfei inspected the corpse and said, "This guy is really unlucky, he was shot in the head by a small caliber rifle." 5。 56 mm, or 5. Weapons of 8 mm caliber. Such weapons are arguably quite expensive in Somalia and are definitely not available to ordinary pirates. ”

"There seem to be more pirate corpses out there. Yelena put down the sniper rifle in her hand and frowned, "About six or seven." ”

"It should have been our people. Shogishi nodded. "It looks like Fernandez: They've been attacked here. However, they killed many pirates and sank a pirate ship. The wound was bloodless and somewhat whitish, and judging by the soaking of the corpse, the shootout had taken place at least six hours earlier. ”

In other words, as soon as Fernandez and the others arrived, they were attacked. Lin Rui's expression moved, and he said in a deep voice, "Give me the chart." ”

Taking the chart handed to him by Qin Fen, Lin Rui looked at Jiang An and said in a low voice, "Are we in trouble?"

"Yes, and big trouble. Shogishi nodded, "The location we are in now is not on the route of merchant ships, and there are very few ships passing by. That's why Fernandez chose this place as the meeting place. And the fact that the other side was able to launch a surprise attack as soon as they arrived shows that this qiΔ“ was planned. They are waiting for Fernandez here. ”

"But the pirates can't possibly know about our plan. How could they set up an ambush here and attack Fernandez?" Peng Lefeng frowned. "Besides, there has always been a good deal between Somali pirate groups and Morningstar. ”

"This is the general case. In fact, anything can happen for the sake of profit. Zhao Jianfei said lightly, "Aren't we also for the sake of the mission, making the pirate base into a pot of porridge? Who said that pirates can't attack us for money?"

"Then what should we do now?" Qin Fen said with some hesitation, "Do you want to go back to Shen Island?"

"Go back!" Lin Rui nodded, "Although Fernandez has encountered a surprise attack, it seems that he has already retreated. I think he must have withdrawn to the sinking island base. We have to get back as soon as possible to figure out what really happened. ”

Zhao Jianfei nodded, "Qin Fen, prepare to go back." Maximum speed, target sinking island base. ”

Qin Fen agreed, adjusted the course of the ship, and galloped all the way towards the base of the sinking island.

Shokishi walked over and grabbed the hostage Alpha with his hands tied and pushed him aside. Zhao Jianfei stopped him and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Whatever happened, I'm sure it had something to do with this person. "The shore expressionlessly took out the pistol, the bullet loaded. He looked at Zhao Jianfei and said, "We'd better figure things out before we go back to Shen Island." ”

Zhao Jianfei was silent for a while, and said calmly, "He is the target of our mission to rescue, and we must ensure that he is alive." Of course, the rest, we don't have to guarantee. With that, he got out of the way and sat back in his chair.

He walked over, ripped off the rag that was stuck in Alpha's mouth, shrugged, and said, "Did you hear what he said? ”

Alpha took a deep breath and smiled wryly, "Well, what do you want to know?"

"Why were you kidnapped by Efuya, and who asked me to rescue you? You'd better make it clear, otherwise, I can't guarantee that you'll go back in its entirety. "Shogishi said calmly.

"Hey, we don't have to be so nervous, okay?" Alpha frowned, "You seem to already know who I am." A lot of people say I'm an arms dealer and have something to do with a lot of local armed forces. But I'm just a businessman, a businessman who sells weapons. In fact, people like me have contributed to the economy of many places. ”

"Of course, you also sell dirty bombs. Shogishi sneered.

Alpha shrugged, "I'm not a professional dirty bomber, it's just a business I can provide." I'm here to expand my business. Everyone knows that Efuya is the biggest pirate leader in the vicinity, with hundreds of men under his command. By kidnapping on this golden waterway, he made a lot of money. Recently, the team has also been expanded. When the team is bigger, the demand for weapons is naturally greater. So I've always tried my luck and expanded my business. ”

"It seems that your business is not going well. Lin Rui said coldly.

"It was a little mistake. I didn't expect that Efuya was used to doing business without capital, and he actually wanted to get a vote from me. Alpha shrugged, a little helpless.

Lin Rui looked at him and didn't speak, but Zhao Jianfei sneered, "Maybe he knows that the net worth of the arms dealer is fatter than him." ”

Alpha shrugged, "Maybe, but Efuya doesn't have a lot of brains. I really don't know how he got into this Cheng dΓΉ. It's hard for someone like me to die under normal circumstances. I have so many businesses that a lot of people depend on me, and most of them are powerful. In particular, there are many customers who have paid in advance but have not yet received the goods. These people don't want to see me because I'm dying in a pirate's den and causing them a huge financial loss. ”

"You're trying to say that you don't know who hired us to save you. Lin Rui frowned.

"I really don't know. Alpha said helplessly, "Even if you kill me, or shoot me in the stomach, I still don't know." ”

"You'd better think for me about who might hire us to save you. Because this person is likely to be the one who attacked us. The muzzle of the pistol slowly moved down and pointed between Alpha's legs, "Or maybe you want to get a shot under your stomach." ”

"Hey, listen to me, don't get so excited. Okay, I'd like to think about it!" Alpha said with a pale, "Well, maybe someone wants to do that." However, he didn't want to save me, he wanted to kill me. ”

"If you want to kill you, you will hire us to rescue you?" Lin Rui frowned. "Are you fools to us?"

"Listen to me, I have a client. He did business with me in the name of Morningstar Military Security, and he owed me a sum of money, which was a lot of money. And he was the one who introduced me to Evya's business. I suddenly figured it out now. If I'm kidnapped by Efuya, then he'll send another group of rookie mercenaries to the rescue. It's hard for me to survive the scuffle. The money he owes me is gone. Alpha sighed, "Of course, in order to be foolproof, he must first get rid of the personnel you are coming to pick up. ”
