Translator: 549690339
Seveno’ clock in the morning, in the captain’s cabin of the dolphin.
“Captain.” Before deaf entered the cabin and walked to the captain’s side. He went straight to the point.”There’s a situation on the island. I hope you can take a look.”
The captain of the pufferfish was named Joseph. Canbell was an experienced captain in his sixties.
Seeing that he wasn’t deaf, Joseph’s expression didn’t change much, and he just indifferently replied,””What’s wrong? Finally, someone is seriously injured … And we need to mobilize the helicopter?” He tried to guess.
“That’s not the case. ” Not yet deaf replied,”please take a look at this …” As he spoke, he picked up the tablet he carried with him and pulled up a video.”This is the video we took an hour ago.”
!!
The video that had yet to be shown was naturally the one where split pus was taken away by the Pirates. The video wasn’t very long. It only took a few minutes because the pus didn’t resist much and was dragged away by the group.
“Hmm …” Captain Joseph pondered for a while after reading the letter.”What do you mean by showing me this?”
“Of course I’m asking for your opinion.” Not deaf asked,”who do you think those people are?”
“I don’t know.” Joseph didn’t bother to answer this question at all. He said directly,”but I know what to do next …” He paused and turned to look into the eyes of the people who were not deaf.”You and your boys must stop filming immediately and retreat from the island. As for me … I’ll call the Coast Guard right now. ”
“Wait!” Before she could even see that the other party had already reached for the walkie-talkie, she quickly reached out to grab Joseph’s elbow and dissuaded,”is this necessary?” He said in a deep voice,”Joseph, you have to think this through … The production cost of our show is very high, and we’re already halfway through filming. Do you know what reshooting means?”
“That’s none of my business. ” Joseph replied firmly,”you paid me to ensure that the people on this s.h.i.+p come and go safely. Since I’ve received my reward, I naturally have to do my job well. ” He shook off his hand that was not deaf.”Don’t talk to me about the production cost or the shooting progress … I only know that at this moment, not far from us, there is a group of unidentified militants, and they have already captured one of our pa.s.sengers.” He raised his hand and pointed to the control panel beside him.”The worst thing is … I didn’t see anything on the radar. This means that those people either appeared out of thin air or they came on some kind of anti-reconnaissance vehicle. ” He took half a step forward and lowered his voice as if he was not deaf.”It’s impossible for civilian s.h.i.+ps to carry that kind of equipment, and their clothes don’t look like regular soldiers at all, so … They’re not Pirates, drug lords, or both.” Then, he mimicked not deaf’s tone and asked,”do you know what it means to be targeted by these people?”
Hearing the captain’s words, heaven’s countenance changed several times. Of course, he still didn’t show any signs of panic.
Dozens of seconds later, not yet deaf seemed to have made up his mind and replied,””Alright … Joseph, I think you’re right. Inform the Coast Guard.” As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the cabin.”I’m in charge of contacting and recalling the staff on the island and choosing …”
BOOM!
His words were interrupted by a loud noise.
Following the sound, the entire s.h.i.+p shook violently.
“What’s going on?” Captain Joseph’s voice was heard at the first moment. The old captain almost fell to the ground from the impact. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the edge of the console, falling on one knee.
“Captain! The s.h.i.+p had been hit! Second engine damaged, water in the rear cabin!” A crew member who was sitting by the console crawled back to his seat and responded loudly while looking at the screen.
“Seal the rear cabin! Call for help, quick!” The captain roared.
“What’s going on? Joseph?” The man at the door was not deaf (he was standing at the door when the collision happened, holding on to the door frame and not falling).”What happened?”
“G.o.d knows!” Joseph pressed down on the captain’s hat on his head with one hand and stood up with the other hand supporting his body.”Maybe he was. .h.i.t by some large sea creature, maybe …”
* Squeak *
At this moment, a dull, loud metal friction sound suddenly came from the direction of the stern, covering the captain’s voice.
“d.a.m.n it!” Before he could even curse, he ran out of the door and ran along the deck to the source of the sound.
During this process, the sound of metal sc.r.a.ping against metal did not stop for a moment, and … As the sound rang out, the hull began to tilt gradually, and the stern of the s.h.i.+p became higher and higher …
However, his physical fitness was surprisingly good. Even though he was walking uphill, he soon reached the stern and saw with his own eyes …
“Oh! G.o.d!” The scene in front of him shocked even not yet deaf.
At this moment, a huge gap had been opened at the stern of the cruise s.h.i.+p, and from the gap, a green semi-solidified substance was constantly pouring out. The substance expanded violently upon contact with the seawater, and then quickly solidified into a solid metal …
Miraculously, the metal showed no signs of sinking in the sea. It floated firmly on the surface and pushed up the stern of the pufferfish, causing the entire s.h.i.+p to tilt.
“A metal plasma torpedo …” Before he even went deaf, he immediately regained his calm and recognized the material. The next second, he grabbed the railing, stretched his neck, and began to look around the sea with full concentration.
About ten seconds later, the thing he was looking for appeared …
A submarine with a skull symbol on its body slowly rose from the sea and broke through the waves from the side of the dolphin. In the blink of an eye, it was within two hundred meters of them.
“Dammit! Before he could see the shadow of the submarine, he knew that the situation was not right. He immediately turned around and ran, once again rus.h.i.+ng to the captain’s room.
“Joseph! There were Pirates! They’re already coming!” Still not deaf practically shouted into the captain’s room.
“James …” Seeing that the man who had stumbled into the cabin was not deaf, Captain Joseph announced the bad news with an ashen face.”Our communication signal has been blocked.”
“What!” Still not shocked.
“The Pirates must have a device to block and interfere with long-range signals on their s.h.i.+ps. We … Can’t contact the Coast Guard …” Joseph took off his hat.”We might not even be able to send out a distress signal.”
“Abandon the s.h.i.+p, Joseph! Let’s escape to the island first!” Still not deaf walked forward and said.
“It’s no use, look. ” As Joseph spoke, he reached out and pressed a few b.u.t.tons on the console, bringing up the video from the camera at the bow.”Look … They’ve already predicted our possible reaction. Just now, when the torpedoes sounded, more than ten Pirates hiding underwater rushed ash.o.r.e and occupied the beach … In broad daylight, we can’t bypa.s.s those armed robbers. ”
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
At this point, even that iron-willed and skilled person who was not deaf fell heavily into his chair, revealing a look of despair.
“Hahaha!” Captain Joseph let out a deep sigh.”Perhaps this is fate.” He shook his head slightly.”I wanted to retire after this mission, but I didn’t expect … Hehe …” He raised the death FLAG without any restraint and said to not deaf,”don’t worry too much, James. You’re all big shots. They won’t kill you for no reason. Pirates … All they wanted was ransom. When the time comes, the government will definitely come to rescue …”
“Hey!” All of a sudden, a thought flashed through the not-a-deaf’s mind. He shouted and interrupted Joseph,”Joseph, you said that the long-range signal has been blocked. What about the short and medium-range signal?” He quickly answered,”for example … The communication between here and the island?”
Joseph frowned, thought for a moment, and replied,””Um … This … Should be fine …”
“Everyone who heard this! Please take note! This was an emergency! I’m James. Francis. I’m not deaf, I’m talking to you on the dolphin! Right now, our cruise s.h.i.+p is being attacked by a group of Pirates! I repeat! They were being attacked by Pirates! Everyone who can hear me, if you are still on the island, please hide!
Before he could finish his sentence, he jumped up from his chair and grabbed the walkie-talkie on the console. He turned to a crew member a few meters away and said,””Adjust it to all the frequencies in the region! Hurry up!”
The crew member didn’t know what to do, but Captain Joseph quickly gave him a look of certainty.””Do as he says.”
Thus, five seconds later, all the communication equipment in the area rang with a voice that wasn’t deaf yet …
“Everyone who heard this! Please take note! This was an emergency! I’m James. Francis. I’m not deaf, I’m talking to you on the dolphin! Right now, our cruise s.h.i.+p is being attacked by a group of Pirates! I repeat! They were being attacked by Pirates! Everyone who can hear me, if you are still on the island, please hide! He also tried to ask for help from the outside world! I’ll do my best to destroy the surveillance equipment on the s.h.i.+p to prevent you from being tracked by The Pirates!”
He repeated the words twice in a fast, loud, and clear voice. Then he handed the walkie-talkie to Captain Joseph.”Continue the broadcast, Joseph. Don’t stop until someone comes in.”
“Understood.” Joseph took the walkie-talkie, put it to his mouth, and began to repeat the words that he was not deaf.
The person who was not deaf rushed out of the captain’s room and ran to the surveillance cabin …
…………
On the other side, in the pirate’s submarine.
“There seems to be a smart guy on the other side’s s.h.i.+p …” Max listened to the radio and sneered.”Ha … As a director, this person is quite good. You can say that he’s calm in the face of danger and has a good command …”
“My son.” At this time, the grey-bearded man said,”there’s something you don’t know …” For some reason, his tone and expression were particularly cold,”this ‘not deaf’… Is much more powerful than you think …” ”
