through the dark road

Chapter 687 Pirates
"Can you only fly so fast now?" Mo Bei felt the speed of the wind passing by his ears, and his face hurt.

"..."

The banshee was speechless. She only knew that she could still fly in this world, but she had never tried it. How could she have imagined that after being suppressed by the laws of the alien plane, her speed was so much slower, less than one-third of the original speed.

And even if it’s slow, it’s still much more difficult to fly than before. It’s very depressing if you take another person with you.

Just like that, you still have to be disliked. .

Mo Bei turned out a big brick mobile phone-like portable satellite locator with one hand and confirmed that the direction was correct. However, at this speed, it would take two or three hours to reach the southern Gulf of Aden. .

His original idea was to take Banshee Thunder to attack, ransack two Somali pirates' dens at night, see if he could seize some useful supplies, and go back at dawn. But now it's like keeping up with the green train, with a little passion. nothing. . .

Watching longingly as the big, round moon rises into the sky, the lights of a city reappear at the end of the sandy desert, and further ahead, there is the dark sea.

The Gulf of Aden doesn't look very big on the map, but when you're above the sea, it really feels vast and boundless.

Continuing to fly south, Mo Bei was thinking about how to locate the pirate den when he saw tiny light spots flashing faintly on the sea in the distance. He knew they were the lights of the ship, but then there were a few inaudible clicking sounds. , couldn't help but let out a light sigh, and immediately signaled the banshee to approach that way.

After flying forward for a moment, the sound was very clear, and it was definitely a gunshot.

"Hey, are you rushing? You work overtime even late at night, you are so dedicated!"

Mo Bei smiled and could already see three speedboats circling back and forth on the sea near an ocean-going cargo ship, and gunshots could be heard from time to time.

Cargo ships and oil tankers sailing in this area are equipped with means to deal with pirates. There are gill nets on the side of the ship and high-pressure water cannons on each section, which can wash away pirates trying to board the ship.

The crew members on the freighter were already armed with guns and ammunition. Once a speedboat approached, they would shoot to drive them away.

It can be seen that the crew members just huddled behind the bunker and stretched out the muzzles of their guns to shoot blindly. The effect was almost the same as firing warning shots.Cherishing one's life is one thing. If you really want to beat someone to death, it will offend you. If you don't say it, it will easily provoke the pirates to do crazy things, which is difficult to do well.

To put it bluntly, they are just workers. Even if all the invading pirates are wiped out, there will be no merit. As long as they hold on for a period of time, the fuel tank of the speedboat is so big. The pirates will naturally withdraw after trying a few times and finding that they cannot board the ship.

It is still difficult for three speedboats to capture such a large cargo ship. At least two more boats are needed to make it difficult for the crew on the cargo ship to see the head and tail of the cargo ship before boarding is possible.

Mo Bei was condescending, thinking about how long this group of pirates would continue to struggle, when he saw a scene that left him speechless.

A pirate stumbled due to the bumps of the speedboat and almost fell over. He quickly reached out to hold on to the side of the boat. However, the AK he was holding in his other hand accidentally misfired. He hit one of the engines and blew the cylinder on the spot. . . .

The speed of the speedboat with only one engine dropped sharply, and the pirates on the boat immediately started a dispute and wanted to throw the pig teammate off the boat, because there was another pirate right next to the engine at the time, and he was almost sent away by a stray bullet.

The other two speedboats soon discovered that their accomplice had slowed down and fell behind, so they gave up on the freighter and turned back to see what was going on.

The pirate who accidentally blew up the engine had his weapons taken away and was sitting slumped against the side of the ship, looking at his former accomplices in horror.

Another speedboat approached, and a pirate who seemed to be the leader only asked a few questions, pulled out a pistol from his waist, shot the unlucky guy twice without hesitation, and then waved his hands to throw the body into the sea.

Mo Bei couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw this scene in the air.So. .

What good will happen to someone who works overtime in the middle of the night? .

The people on the three speedboats made some adjustments. The one with half the power was left with only two people to reduce the load, and then they turned around and left without chasing the freighter.

"Follow them."

Mo Bei said to the banshee. He was worried about where to find the pirate den, so he met a group of guides. This is fate!
The group of pirates below who failed in their robbery and took an engine reminded him of the oasis bandits of the past, who were also very bad at it. .

He had previously disliked the flying speed of the Banshee, but now he was following the pirates and had to fly at an even faster speed. He was getting tired of hanging like this all the time. After following for a while, he pointed to the ship hanging at the end, with only two people. Said one of the speedboats:
"Go down and kill those two people."

The banshee understood, and immediately swooped down, releasing a hazy black mist about 300 meters away. In a flash, she quietly landed on the speedboat with Mo Bei, one in each hand, without waiting for the two pirates to make any move. He crushed their neck bones.

Mo Bei calmly sat in the driver's seat and stretched. Although it was a little bumpy, it was still much more comfortable than hanging in the sky.

When he saw the banshee picking up the AKs of the two men and playing with them, he immediately confiscated them, not wanting to have a pig teammate here who fired his weapon.

The pirates on the speedboat in front occasionally looked back to make sure that the lame speedboat was not left behind. However, with their eyesight, they obviously could not see through the windshield with dark film that someone had changed on the boat.

I followed them all the way and drove for nearly two hours. It was almost dawn before I finally saw land.

To Mo Bei's surprise, a large oil tanker was moored not far from the coast. The hull was slightly tilted and it was obviously in a stranded state.

Judging from the state of maintenance of the hull, it shouldn’t have been too long before it fell into a den of thieves. However, once such a large ship runs aground, it will inevitably deform and its ability to withstand wind and waves will be greatly reduced. Without a comprehensive overhaul, it will be impossible to survive again. It was on an ocean mission, and I don’t know what kind of damage it was inside.

Which country's ship is this? .

Mo Bei touched his chin, already considering it as his trophy.

The two speedboats in front sailed straight towards the tanker. Mo Bei turned the steering wheel and followed, but when they rounded the stern, they stopped the boat and turned off the engine. He and the Banshee jumped onto the tanker and found a hiding place on the bridge. position to watch the situation on the tanker.

He found that the deck of the oil tanker was actually a busy scene. A group of people were using oil pumps to pump oil from the cabin and put it into cans. They then sent it down through a temporary crane and finally transported it to the shore. Apparently they wanted to work overtime to transport this oil. If a tanker is empty, even if the company wants to redeem it, it will only be redeeming an empty ship that needs major repairs.

You must know that it is early in the morning. Not only do these pirates want to go out to sea to rob, but the ones left behind are also not idle, which makes Mo Bei sigh.

The man who was leading the way also climbed up the gangway onto the deck. As soon as the leader got on the deck, he started talking and gesticulating to the other person, as if he was complaining that the trip was not going well.

The other pirates were either looking for water or looking around aimlessly. When they got here, no one even cared that there were two missing people behind them. .

On the entire tanker, there were only four or five pirates standing guard with guns, but they seemed to be just idle and not at all on alert.

Judging from this situation, there should be no hostages on the ship who are being forced to work. They are all black-skinned. Even if they are not pirates, they are accomplices.
