Chapter 394 Pirates
Seeing that the fishing boat suddenly dropped three speedboats and chased them towards their ship.
The crew members all thought to themselves that it was not good.
No matter how fast their ships are, they cannot be faster than speedboats.
And they don't have weapons or anything on the ship.
Here we want to explain why many cargo ships know that Sulaire pirates are so rampant, but do not equip the ship with weapons and guard forces.
One is that these weapons and guards require high fees.
Secondly, in many ports, ships equipped with weapons are not allowed to enter the port.
Before entering the port, all weapons must be thrown into the sea.
This is really a waste.
Third, it is because some countries do not allow ships to privately equip weapons.
(The family and country are deliberately written inversely, don’t ask why.)
Now, although the other party only has four speedboats, almost every speedboat is equipped with a bazooka and heavy machine gun.
So the more than 70 people on their boat were completely lambs to be slaughtered.
Seeing this, the captain sighed.
This time I really left the word "memorize".
He first sent a distress signal, and then used the communicator on the ship to say to everyone:
"Pirates come for ransom, and generally, they don't hurt hostages. So after they board the ship, no matter what they ask us to do, everyone will do it. They will pledge people to the warehouse and then drag the ship back to Sulaire Base Camp. They will then negotiate with the ship owner for a long time.
This period of time can be as short as a few days and as long as a few months.
They once negotiated with the owner of a ship for nine months.
So everyone should be mentally prepared.
Here I would like to remind you again, don’t do any extra moves. Also, they don’t look down on the little money you have on you. So you don’t have to worry about your personal property. Their principle is to get a high ransom. Your property is not worth mentioning compared to the ransom of millions of dollars.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
But it is inevitable that my heart is nervous.
After all, this is the first time I have encountered a pirate.
Moreover, there have been several incidents of pirates killing hostages in the past.
Especially Xiaoya, her lips were white at this time and her face was as pale as paper.
After a moment, she asked, "Captain, will those pirates..."
The captain understood what she meant and replied: "Don't worry, I said that as long as everyone has no extra actions and don't talk too much, they will generally not hurt the hostages."
Laudermo quickly tied up her hair and put on a hat.
He changed into a crew member's wide clothes to cover up his figure.
In addition, she has been searching for some animals in the sea and in the forests all over the days.
So the skin was also a little darkened.
At this time, when he dressed up like this, he looked like an ordinary crew member, but it was not so eye-catching.
The people at the scene were stunned when they saw Laudermo's transformation.
Xiaoya's eyes widened in surprise.
At the same time, I thought to myself: Laudermo looks so ugly. I wish she had been so ugly all the time.
However, considering her safety, she also imitated Laudermo, changed into crew clothes and put on her hat.
But when she saw herself in the mirror, she frowned tightly.
She doesn't want to be as ugly as Laudermo.
Thinking of this, she found a strip and tied the waist of her wide clothes.
This looks much better than before, and it's even a bit fashionable.
She nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Landemo, and sneered in her heart.
Now I am more beautiful than Lan Demo.
Laudermo didn't notice Xiaoya's gaze at all.
At this moment, she was praying in her heart.
Didn’t the great devil follow the ship?
Thinking about the fact that in Lu Kingdom, the great devil destroyed the entire Holy Light and the New Human Legion.
Now it should be easy for the Great Demon King to stop the pirates on these four speedboats.
"Great Demon King, help and stop them."
Laudermo murmured silently on her lips.
However, Wen Zilong at this time did not stop these pirates from thinking.
He was secretly delighted when he heard the captain say that these pirates would drag the entire ship to their Sulaire.
It hasn't been swallowing up electricity for many days.
There must be electricity in the old nests of these pirates.
Don't dare to steal electricity in other places.
But in the pirate's nest, hehe...
And the most important thing is that the pirate's nest must be very close to the coast.
If something goes wrong then, I will just go into the sea and it will be over.
So Wen Zilong did not stop the pirates at this time.
Instead, let the carvings of the sky be kept abreast of the pirates' movements at any time.
Soon, the pirates boarded the ship.
The crew members were taken to the cargo hold at the bottom without any resistance, as the captain said.
An hour later, the fishing boat slowly sailed.
It looks like a fishing boat on the surface, but it is actually a modified tugboat.
They took the steamer and headed towards the coast of Suraire.
After the initial panic, the people on the ship did not hurt these pirates and all calmed down a little.
Four hours later, the ship sailed into a simple port in Suraire.
All seventy people on the ship were taken into the city not far away.
The population of this city is about 100,000.
Among them, there are more than 5,000 pirates.
After these people were taken into the city, they did not suffer inhuman abuse as they imagined.
Instead, they locked these people in a building.
It is impossible for people outside to hurt them.
And there will be someone who will deliver food to them every day.
Although the food is not too good, it is not bad either.
Anyway, the meals were much better than those poor people in the local area.
Next, the pirates started long-lasting negotiations with the shipowner after they got to the shipowner's contact information from the captain.
You should know that pirates ask for different money based on the number of cargo on the ship and the number of people on the ship.
But basically it starts at least $1.5 million.
The shipowner can only earn this trip, so naturally he cannot agree.
Both sides are going back and forth, just like the aunt goes to the market to buy vegetables.
But the pirates took the absolute initiative.
They can spend three to five months or even half a year.
But the ship owner couldn't afford it.
Every extra day he will lose at least thousands of dollars.
However, because the price the pirates asked for this time was too high, reaching US$3 million, the ship owner naturally could not agree immediately.
The negotiations were deadlocked.
Seeing that the people on the boat were fine, Wen Zilong was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Leave Diao Yi and Xiao Wu here just in case.
And he himself took advantage of the night to climb to the shore.
