Chapter 682: Pirates (6th Update, Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes, Asking for Rewards)
Listening to the increasingly chaotic footsteps outside, Liu Lang slowly exhaled a breath and whispered to Chen Yunfa: "You go and take Fan Ziran and Laura to find a place to hide first." ”
"Yes." Chen Yunfa turned over and got up without hesitation, and his huge body opened the hatch silently like a civet cat and slipped out.
With Liu Lang's ability, Chen Yunfa was not worried about what would happen to him, even if he only had a military thorn in his hand.
At this time, there was already a faint cry, Liu Lang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he had already determined in his heart that there was an enemy on the ship.
As for the enemy on the sea, it is almost impossible to think about it, who else in Malacca will there be besides the notorious pirates?
For the pirates of Malacca, Liu Lang is really not too unfamiliar.
Since the discovery of the Strait of Malacca, the most important passage along with the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, it has become a golden shipping route for commercial trade, and there has never been a shortage of pirates.
Not to mention in this era, even in the next few decades, Malacca's crazy pirates have not stopped their steps, at the beginning of the 21st century, 50% of the merchant ships passing through the Strait of Malacca every day, even 50% will be looted, in 2001 there were statistics, the world's direct losses caused by pirates in Malacca are as high as 16 billion US dollars.
It was not until the navy of the Republic became strong that a fleet was stationed in the South China Sea, but all Chinese merchant ships were personally escorted by the fleet and transported through the Strait of Malacca.
From this, it is conceivable that Malacca piracy is rampant.
But why didn't Liu Lang have any vigilance when passing through Malacca? That's because this 10,000-ton passenger ship also has a good security force on board, the entire passenger ship has as many as 100 security personnel with loaded guns, and even has two heavy machine guns, and there are more than 20 fighters on duty every night.
How did they get their hands on this modernized ship for their poor equipment? Liu Lang didn't have time to think about it, because the heavy footsteps had already begun to enter the VIP area. Judging by the sound of footsteps, there were at least twenty people, and the footsteps were heavy and condensed, indicating that they were militarily trained, and that they had weapons and sufficient ammunition.
Liu Lang no longer hesitated, and got out of the open porthole, he didn't even care about Chen Yunfa and Xiao Yangniu anymore, if he was familiar with the whole ship, Chen Yunfa, who had worked on the passenger ship for seven days, was much more familiar than him, Liu Lang believed that he could find the safest place to hide them.
Not long after Liu Lang slipped out of the cabin, he heard constant gunshots and screams from the VIP area, Liu Lang knew that there must be bodyguards resisting, but they were unarmed in the face of heavily armed pirates, and it was obviously futile to resist.
In the face of modern firearms, even Liu Lang has to admit it, especially when there are many enemies. Liu Lang, who was hiding above a ventilation port, witnessed at least one platoon of German-style submachine guns running by.
On this passenger ship, there were more than 100 armed pirates, and they were so well armed that even the national army could not have so many German-style submachine guns.
Liu Lang, who turned out the porthole, also saw several small steamers next to the passenger liner on the sea level with the help of the bright moonlight, which was the pirate's means of transportation. Several thick ropes tied the steamer and passenger ship together, and a dozen ropes with steel claws clinged to the railing of the ship's side.
That's how the pirates climbed onto the passenger ship.
As for why the security guard on duty did not fire a warning shot, in addition to internal response, Liu Lang could no longer think of any other reason.
The gunfire and screams did not last long, and in the face of the power of the guns, the bodyguards, who had little defense, apparently gave up their futile resistance, and more and more people were driven out of the VIP area.
There were also fierce gunshots in the direction of the captain's room, and Liu Lang knew that it was the crew with self-defense weapons resisting.
However, when the familiar sound of the Czech-made light machine gun "da-da-da" sounded, Liu Lang sighed slightly, and the resistance was about to end.
The pirates were so good at their guns that they had brought all the light machine guns on board, and the British crew, armed only with rifles and pistols, could not be a match.
As for the two self-defense Makqin heavy machine guns located on the roof of the ship, Liu Lang no longer had hope for them, and from the time they didn't fire a single shot to the present, Liu Lang didn't need to go out of his way to know that they were finished. A pirate with an internal response will definitely deal with these two heavy fire points as soon as possible.
As Liu Lang expected, but ten minutes later, the British gentlemen also gave up resistance, and the gunfire gradually stopped, and the passenger ship slowly stopped, proving that the super passenger ship with 800 passengers and more than 300 crew and attendants was completely taken over by pirates.
Liu Lang has even lost the mind to confront these more than 100 armed pirates, he is not a god, even if he is a god, I am afraid that he will not be able to deal with this more than 100 pirates who are fully armed and equipped with submachine guns with an amazing rate of fire! Even Liu Lang still has a brother with extremely high combat power.
Liu Lang didn't even have any luck with this group of well-trained pirates, since they had made such a big battle, they would definitely not loot the passenger ship and leave like many pirates. Just hiding on this ship is already a dead end, and the only thing Liu Lang can do now is to take advantage of the pirates who are still controlling the passenger ship, to deal with the remaining pirates on the steamer, and then take the little foreign girl and a few of them away.
As for the other people on the ship, Liu Lang can only let them ask for more blessings, after all, no matter how ferocious the pirates are, I am afraid that these thousands of people will also be killed, as long as they hand over the goods to satisfy these pirates or hand over a huge ransom, the chance of survival should still be very high.
Liu Lang, who already had an idea in his heart, hid his figure a little deeper, and the pirates who kept walking through the cabin and searching everywhere probably didn't expect that above their heads, there was a fat fat man hidden, although the fat man was not worried that his huge weight would crush the cabin roof and crush them to death.
Liu Lang was waiting, more and more passengers were forced to walk out of the cabin and go to the next floor, Liu Lang knew that it was the first floor of the bilge, where the huge space was enough to stuff a thousand people, of course, that was standing or squatting, and then wanted to lie leisurely, it was impossible.
If it were him, if he wanted to control the thousands of people on this ship, he would do the same, as long as he put machine guns around, not to mention that you have thousands of people, even a few thousand, and they will also become sheep.
Human nature is like this, even if the next moment you know that the other party is going to poison you, few people will be the first to stand up and resist, everyone hopes that the last person to be shot is themselves, not the first.
And the reason why a hero can become a hero is because he has the courage to bear death.
It is clear that there are few heroes.
At least for now, Liu Lang could no longer hear any sound of resistance, and the only thing that sounded was sad cries and cowardly begs for mercy. Not only the voices of the Chinese, but also the British gentlemen were no better there.
Finally, the pirates searched the room and began to leave.
Liu Lang took a deep breath, jumped lightly from the narrow exhaust port, and the moment the soles of his feet landed, he rolled sideways to remove all the force, and there was almost no sound in the whole process.
As soon as he passed through the corridor, an angry roar came from the deck, which made Liu Lang stop suddenly, and his eyes flashed with calmness.
