Chapter 688: Exploring the Lost Ship
The Maldives is located in the tropics, and the weather can change as it may be. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thin dark clouds drifted in the previously clear night sky, and a rain was coming.
The waves on the sea became stronger, which made it more difficult for the rubber boat to approach the wooden boat, and it was one meter and half a meter backwards, and there was still an undercurrent when it came to the wooden boat.
George threw the claws onto the deck, the first time he didn't succeed, the second time he hooked the railing next to the deck, George tried the firmness, and easily grabbed the rope and climbed onto the boat.
Gabriel didn't pay attention when he boarded the boat, the rubber boat shook under his feet, and he almost fell into the sea, but it was only before he grabbed George's outstretched hand and flipped it to the deck to stand firm.
Seeing that the rubber boat was carried to the deep sea by the undercurrent, Han Xuan instructed a local Maldivian resident who worked as a speedboat pilot during the day and an actor at night, saying: "You go and drive a speedboat here, they will be in danger when they come back later."
Stop at sea in the distance, pick them up when you get the signal, and pay you a hundred dollars. ”
The US dollar is very durable in the Maldives, and one hundred dollars is equivalent to a month's salary for most residents of the Maldives today.
This money made the other party swallow back to his throat the words that he was going to say that the waves were big and he couldn't go to sea.
The chick nodded like a peck of rice, and replied in the envious eyes of others, "Okay! I'll go now!"
Secretary Dawson took out two fifty-dollar bills from his wallet and gave them to Han Xuan.
Han Xuan handed one to the other party and continued: "This is a deposit, and I will give you the rest of the ...... when I come back."
Wooden boat on the seaside of Pisces Island.
The two lampposts swayed from side to side, and Gabriel crouched down and picked at the dark red foreign object on the surface of the deck wood with his hands.
Turning to George, he said, "It's blood, I don't know if it's left by a fish or a human." ”
"I think it's the crew of this ship. ”
George stood next to the mainmast, shining a flashlight on the remaining half of the wood, pulled out the dagger on his waist, dug out the bullet in the round hole, and held it in the palm of his hand to watch, "There was a shooting on the ship, a 7.62 mm caliber bullet, I think it should be AK47."
With the exception of the M43 rifle and the Mosinagan rifle, few other guns are used, and the AK47 is the most equipped. ”
"Well, it was strafed, and the bullet range looks like AK47. Gabriel shone the light at the exterior wall of the cockpit, and the three-centimeter-thick planks pierced through, leaving a row of arcing bullet holes.
The undercurrent at the bottom of the ship caused the steering wheel to turn left and right, and no one was inside, as if there was an invisible person driving the ship.
Hearing the creaking sound made the two of them feel hairy in their hearts......
There were several traces of explosion on the deck, and many small steel balls were added to the explosives, leaving bullet holes all around.
If someone had been standing on the deck, they would have been dead, and the spinnaker and strip sail were at the point of explosion, which caused the break.
Dirty tarpaulin sails with strip sails fall into the sea, on which some shellfish make their home.
There was a poor sailfish, entangled in the rope of the spinnaker, and the body was gnawed by other fish, and after a long soaking, the remaining body had rotted.
Considering the current temperature and sea water factors, it has been at least five days since he died.
It was pitch black, and with the sound of the wind whistling outside, Gabriel was the first to go to the cabin, and no body of the crew was found on the way.
It was probably raining, and the items scattered in the cabin were soaked in water, and the food was moldy and rotten.
There is a loaf of bread on the table, which becomes a good place for the fungus to multiply, and at this time it grows dense white hair.
"Looking at the decoration here, the captain should be very rich.
The wood is all mahogany, and the bareboat is worth millions of dollars......"
George shone a flashlight into the lounge, and nothing was placed, and he fell crookedly, and his shoes stepped on the glass slag of the teacup, making a crisp cracking sound.
Gabriel didn't answer him, and pulled the pistol machine one after another.
A sea snake dormant in shallow water, with black and white rings on its surface, twisted its body.
The sea serpent's head was shattered by a bullet, but the rest of the snake continued to move.
Gabriel smiled: "I saved your life, ask me to be a horse and kill a chicken tomorrow."
All sea snakes are venomous, and they have been poured in with the waves, so be careful. ”
George stepped on the snake a few times, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his head, and if he was bitten by the sea snake, if he was not rescued in time, the possibility of death was extremely high.
Most of the people who have been bitten by them in the past have died, and sea snakes are mostly neurovenous, and they attack extremely quickly, and there is no way to treat them.
Using a flashlight to shine on the shallow water under his feet, he accidentally found a photo of a fall in the water, which was covered by a layer of glass frame, and it could be vaguely seen that they were all yellow people, a family of four.
George and Gabriel continued their search, and the men on the shore were horrified when they heard the gunshots.
Han Xuan was worried that they were in danger, and he didn't know what was going on inside, so he could only be anxious.
Jason explained, "It was Gabriel who fired the shot. ”
Du Ersil nodded in agreement, they are all equipped with guns, and the models can be heard from the voice.
And everyone shoots at a different pace, and you can guess that it is Gabriel......
Until more than ten o'clock.
The dark clouds in the sky were thicker, obscuring the starlight, and the moon could occasionally be seen through the cracks in the clouds.
The two men on board came out of the cabin and shook their flashlights at the shore, and the speedboat started and crossed the water to pick them up.
The speedboat was only parked offshore, and George and Gabriel walked one after the other, stepping on the water.
It was a little cold, and they didn't bother to talk in detail, and when they came to the beach, they hurried to the campfire.
Han Xuan's stomach was grumbling with hunger, the food that had been placed next to the fire had already been scorched and turned into charcoal, and he had no appetite to eat, so he sat next to the two of them and hurriedly asked, "Where did this ship come from?"
"I don't know, I should be quite rich in decoration, like a luxury yacht.
There had been a shootout on both sides, and we found some bullet holes and bullet casings on the deck, but there were no bodies.
There have been five explosions in total, and no professional person would use that kind of bomb, it should be homemade, and the power is not great. ”
Gabriel rubbed his hands together and continued, "Look at the beds on the ship, there are at least twelve people.
One of the boys, about your age, still in the cabin with his dirty clothes, recently worn, showed signs of ketchup.
The fact that the Arabian Sea currents are good in summer and bad in winter, and the boat was able to float here along the water, most likely in the waters near the Republic of Sri Lanka. ”
"Pirates!
There are many pirates in Sri Lanka.
It was there that a cargo ship carrying supplies to Male Island was hijacked last month!"
A fat rich Filipino man who has lived in the Maldives for more than two months shouted in English with a strong accent.
Han Xuan looked at him and felt that it was really possible as he said, the waters near the Arabian Sea had not been stable since the Age of Discovery.
It was not a ghost ship, but it made many people present feel pity.
Those who have read Han Xuan's "Pirate Legend" novel are thinking that it would be good if they could encounter a group of cursed teasing crew members like in the book......
Han Qianshan asked, "Isn't there anything that can prove your identity?"
I called the embassy to see if any Singaporean boats had been missing recently.
The body is not on board, maybe someone is still alive. ”
George thought back for a moment and replied affirmatively: "No, many documents are soaked in seawater." ”
Han Qianshan's eyes were deep, he held his chin and thought for a few seconds, then waved his hand and shouted, "That's it, eat first, and we'll talk about it later!"
Han Xuan stared at his father: "......" (to be continued.) )
