Kuri is a seafarer who has been on the Osaiberg for three years and 27 days.

The freighter, named after the "Oseberg" in the Norwegian Pirate Ship Museum, has been sailing the Baltic Sea trade route since it was launched four years ago.

Every time they go to sea, their crew members will bitterly ridicule the sea cargo as going to the Baltic Sea to fight the autumn wind. However, what he didn't expect was that after so many years of driving a ship on the calm Baltic Sea, this time it was really beaten by the autumn wind......

"Be honest."

I originally wanted to move my calf that was numb from squatting, but I didn't expect that he had just moved one of his toes, and he was kicked in the back.

Looking at the shadow of the rifle reflected on the deck, Curry didn't dare to say anything.

Although he has the same name as Aquaman, he doesn't have the slightest superpower, nor does he have muscle bumps all over his body. In the face of this kind of thing, as an ordinary person, he only dared to bow his head submissively, for fear that the vicious people behind him would give him a rifle butt and throw it into the sea to feed the fish.

Standing behind him at this moment is a group of men who call themselves pirates - yes, in the XXI century, a group of pirates actually appeared in the calm Baltic Sea.

Judging by the skin color and tone of speech of these people, it is obvious that they are from East Africa, but what makes Kuri wonder is how they flew to distant Northern Europe?!

God, there was no such thing as pirates here 200 years ago.

Giving a kick to the dishonest hostage, the dark-skinned man with a face towel on his face walked to the deck railing with an AK, came to the back of a man with a binoculars in his hand and a stubble on his chin, and spoke.

"Chief, how long is it going to be?"

"The Northern Lights has a maximum speed of 27 knots, and our ultimate speed is 40 knots, so if nothing else, half an hour is enough for us to drive the ship to their faces."

Black man: "Are we going to bump into each other in a moment?" ”

"Yes," Abrahan squinted his vulture-like eyes and removed the neckline from the collar to the bridge of his nose, putting down the binoculars in his hand and looking at the skyline where the ship's shadow could not be seen.

He was Marash's most powerful subordinate, having committed many heist-in-class hijackings on the high seas, and it was because of his trust in his abilities and loyalty that Marash entrusted him with this task.

And Abra Khan does not intend to live up to the trust of the chief, he is determined to win this operation!

Looking at the leader's back with some hesitation, the dark-skinned man hesitated and couldn't help but speak.

"But—"

"The leader has arranged for a fishing boat nearby to pick us up, so we just need to quickly escape from this area in an escape boat after ramming and sinking the cruise ship."

The plan sounded seamless, and if the whole operation was disguised as a tragic cargo ship collision, no one would know that there were a few bullet holes in the bones of the sunk Baltic Sea.

If it doesn't, he'll take his men aboard the ship, go on a killing spree, and then install thermite to blow the keel off. There was no need to keep any hostages, even if the nearest patrol arrived to support, it would take three hours, and they did not need to keep any hostages, and the entire operation could be resolved in an hour.

However......

Will everything really go this smoothly?

Although he had such concerns in his heart, the dark-skinned man did not dare to ask more, for fear that the fierce man would mistakenly think that he was afraid.

For people like them, cowardice and death are things that can be equated.

If he showed this, he bowed his head in fear, as in the old myth of the tribe, the dead vulture would not hesitate to fly down from the sky and peck through his skull......

……

On the deck of the Northern Lights.

Because of the sudden sound of the siren, people exchanged frightened glances, and some looked around in confusion.

The merchants who were talking to each other put down the champagne in their hands, the noblewomen in the dresses involuntarily grabbed the arms of their male companions, and the messengers who served wine and food had the same bewildered expressions on their faces.

"What's the situation?"

"Did someone accidentally touch the bell?"

"This is a cruise ship carrying the royal family, how could anyone make such a low-level mistake! What a shame! ”

At this time, a large man in a crew's uniform came to the deck and said in a loud voice.

"Don't be nervous, there may be strong wind and waves ahead. Please return to your room and wait for the alarm to be lifted and we will let you know to continue the afternoon tea. ”

However, this loud voice did not immediately control the situation, but only made the situation on the deck even more chaotic. Confused, people looked around nervously, asking around, hoping to figure out what was going on.

However, there are also people with big nerves, and even at this juncture, they have not forgotten to flirt.

"Jaime, are we going to run into an iceberg?"

"Don't worry, my beautiful 'Ruth', if you hit an iceberg, then melt it with my love for you......"

The expression on his face did not change, and as soon as the alarm sounded, Wang Peng quietly put his right hand into his arms, and at the same time stood behind him with his back to the landing boat, and his eyes had narrowed dangerously.

The security guards scattered in the vicinity also took action, evacuating the crowd and alerting them to possible dangers in the riots.

"It's not safe here, we'd better go back to our rooms."

Looking away from the couple hugging each other not far away, Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng's back and asked.

"What happened?"

Wang Peng raised his left hand and pressed it on the wireless earphone, and said with a serious expression.

"It's not clear...... We are confirming the situation on our side. ”

At this moment, the waves below the cruise ship suddenly became turbulent, and the water splashed two or three people high on the side of the ship.

The people standing on the edge screamed and retreated, and even fell to the ground to avoid the splash, and the shaking hull of the ship knocked the wine glasses on the table to the ground, and the scene was panicked for a while.

Lu Zhou squinted his eyes and looked at the sea not far away.

From the waves that were not turbulent and the pulling sensation coming from the soles of his feet, he could feel that it was not that the waves had become bigger, but that the cruise ship had suddenly increased its speed.

At this time, probably a colleague confirmed the situation from the captain's room, Wang Peng reached out and pressed it on the wireless earphone, and said with his back to the landing boat.

"A freighter has deviated from course and is heading straight for us. The captain tried to send a contact signal to the cargo ship, but received no response. And just now, they increased the speed of the ship to the maximum...... It seems to be trying to catch up with us. ”

"Maybe they want to play against us."

"It would be nice if it was, but it's obviously not that simple right now."

"Then we should not go to the room, but to the captain's room."

Wang Peng: "My colleague is already there. ”

Lu Zhou: "Then we'll go too." ”

As if thinking of something, Wang Peng nodded, led Lu Zhou through the road that had been opened up, and walked quickly into the cabin. In the midst of this shaking and bump, the group headed straight in the direction of the captain's quarters.

Finally, we arrived at our destination.

Wang Peng stepped forward and opened the hatch and stepped into the captain's room first.

"How's it going? Got in touch? ”

"Not yet?" The staff member in charge of communications held the phone with an embarrassed expression on his face, "We tried to change course, but they also changed course...... There is no doubt that they are coming for us. ”

"Something may not be right!"

Waiting like this is not an option.

Lu Zhou didn't hesitate, and took out the holographic glasses that looked like windscreens from the inner bag of his clothes, and put them on the bridge of his nose.

"Xiao Ai, connect the orbital satellite...... I need an aerial image of the nearby 100 km of the sea. ”

Xiao Ai: [Roger!] Connecting (????????????)???? 】

Seeing Wang Peng looking at himself in a low voice with a strange expression, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and then smiled and pointed to his glasses with his index finger.

"AR glasses...... It's not convenient to use a mobile phone here. ”

At the same time, in outer space orbit.

A meteorological observation satellite of Star Technology, with a light blue arc elongated behind it, was propelled by a plasma thruster to leave its original orbit and move to the field over Northern Europe.

A crisp aerial image, after a simple processing, quickly appeared in the field of view of the land boat, and after a few simple zooms, locked onto the cargo ship that had deviated from the course.

The moment he saw the deck of the cargo ship, Lu Zhou's pupils shrank slightly for a moment.

After a while, he looked at Wang Peng, who had been looking at his side, and spoke.

"I'm afraid we've met pirates."

After he finished this sentence in Chinese, he repeated it in English.

And almost as soon as he spoke, the captain's room immediately fell into a panic.

"Pirates?" The bodyguard of the Royal Guard glanced at Lu Zhou and asked with a strange expression, "Are you sure?" ”

This is the Baltic Sea, looking for a developing one. It's not easy for the country to come out, where is there such a thing as piracy.

As we all know, it is a specialty of ZF-free regions.

Ignoring this bodyguard wearing bells and whistles, knowing that this guy would probably not be useful for a while, Lu Zhou turned his attention to Wang Peng.

"I've sent the picture to your phone."

Wang Peng immediately took out his phone and unlocked the lock screen.

The moment he saw the aerial picture, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

The hostages and pirates were on the deck of the cargo ship, and not only did they not have the slightest intention of covering up, but they also tied the hostages to the edge of the bow railing as cover.

What they are going to do is already obvious.

That is, on the one hand, using hostages as a threat, and generally launching a frontal attack on them.

Lu Zhou: "Do you need to negotiate with the other side?" ”

It's hard, but you should be able to figure it out.

"No, I don't."

Taking out a satellite phone that looked like PHS, Wang Peng pressed the mechanical button to enter the password, then edited a message and pressed the send button.

After doing this, he withdrew his phone and cast his eyes out the window.

"Our men are already on their way."
