Chapter 3317 Encountering the enemy on a rainy night

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The mongoose took Lin Rui and others onto the boat, which was an ordinary fishing boat.  Although Mongoose assured it was the best boat in the village, it was the simplest wooden boat powered by two diesel engines.  The smell of fish and the salty smell of sea water in the cabin was nauseating.  Sausage and another mercenary checked the engine and oil, then came back and nodded to Lin Rui, "No problem, although the power may be a little low. But it can help us get to Misrata."

    "What's the power situation?" Lin Rui asked.

    ¡°There is a small diesel generator and several batteries on the boat.¡± The meerkat nodded.  "And in order to avoid being discovered, it is best to turn off the lights on the boat when we are traveling at night. It does not use much power."

    "Get on the boat and get ready to sail." Lin Rui called to the other mercenaries, "Pay attention to the conditions of the surrounding sea while sailing."

    "Understood." Sausage said as he turned around and gestured: "Raise the sail!"

    A group of mercenaries were busy on the back deck.  Upon hearing his order, a group of mercenary warriors began to work together to pull the rope. There was a "clatter" sound, and a triangular mast was raised at the stern of the ship, and it unfolded all of a sudden, swelling in the wind.  The speed of the ship actually increased a lot.

    Lin Rui saw that there was an instrument panel on the helm controlled by Sausage, and asked, "How is the speed?"

    Sausage replied: "Southeast wind, diesel power and sails, it's pretty good that this kind of broken ship can achieve this speed."

    Crazy Horse directed everyone to pull the rope and unfold all the sails. The wind was strong and the ship's speed accelerated a lot.  This broken wooden ship still had its sails erected, and it looked very much like those pirate ships that specialized in robbery at sea in the European Middle Ages.  It was dark around the boat at night. Except for the security personnel and the driver, Lin Rui and the other mercenaries leaned on the boat to rest for a while.  Although the smell of the ship was disgusting, they had even slept in a pile of corpses full of corpses and didn't care about the fishy smell at all.

    In the darkness, I heard someone shouting.  Lin Rui turned over and jumped up, ran out of the room and saw that the doors of all the crew rooms in front were open. It seemed that something had happened outside, and everyone had gone to the deck.

    Lin Rui was dumbfounded before he even ran onto the deck. The night was ferocious, it was raining heavily, the water was roaring crazily, and the ship was shaking violently. It looked like it might be overturned by huge waves at any time.

    There was a busy and tense atmosphere on the boat, and everyone was following the instructions of Sausage and Meerkat.  Apparently only a few of them had spent much time at sea.

    "The wind is too strong, lower the sails, and let everyone go to the foredeck to remove the counterweight and stabilize the bow. Hurry up, if you don't want to die, hurry up!" Sausage roared, and the instruments on the helm were turned on.  It was all blurry, covered with water, rain and sea water mixed together.

    Lin Rui looked at it and saw that the wind and waves were coming from directly in front. There was water everywhere on the boat, and the counterweight was carried by a thick iron chain.  Throw the bow into the water and the hull begins to tilt. Although this method is old-fashioned, once the bow is stabilized, the boat will not capsize. This is why counterweights are added to the boat.

    A group of mercenary soldiers were busy in a panic. Lin Rui caught Crazy Horse in the crowd: "What's going on?"

    Crazy Horse was soaked by the heavy rain and wiped the rainwater from his face. "Our ship went into the deep sea to avoid the enemy's maritime patrol. The weather forecast said that there will always be storms in this area. We are so unlucky."  We came in at night, and now the ship can¡¯t go back, so we have to go forward.¡±

    The storm was so strong that I couldn't even open my eyes.  And even if you don't shout loudly, you can't hear clearly. Lin Rui couldn't hear clearly. Only the loudspeaker embedded in the boat was constantly amplifying the sounds of sausages and mongooses in the cab. The wind and waves on this sea are uncontrollable and dangerous.  They want to escape now.  You must fight against the wind and waves.

    "However, this kind of fight is all about a few mercenary warriors and the mechanic Sausage. The ship is not big to begin with, and some mercenaries who are not good at ships can't help even if they want to, and they will only become more and more troublesome.

    Seeing that the storm is getting bigger and bigger, thunder can be heard in the sky. Can this ship survive?  Lin Rui felt a little confused.

    The sound of sausages kept ringing on the radio, and a few minutes later, the mongoose also roared, in a very rapid tone: "An unknown ship was found behind, bearing 72 degrees due east by south!"

    Everyone on the ship was shocked. Even people like Lin Rui who didn't know much about navigation knew that if they encountered unknown ships in such waters at this time, they would probably be enemies.

    Lin Rui quickly ran to the stern of the ship and raised his binoculars to look around. Unfortunately, the sea was too dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.  After all, this is not an advanced warship, and it is impossible to have any modern instruments for detection.

    Lin held the wireless communication device and lowered his head and said: "What's their speed?"

    The meerkat's voice was full of exclamation: "It's very fast and far away."?More than us.  We are now less than 18 kilometers per hour!  "

    "Everyone, pay attention, everyone, pay attention, an enemy ship is found in the rear, everyone in the security team will go to the rear deck, and the whole ship is ready to fight!" Lin Rui was very calm.

    Several mercenaries grabbed their weapons and went to the stern of the ship.  "Can you see their flag?" Machine Gun asked.

    The mongoose shook his head and said: "It's too dark, and there are wind and waves, so I can't see anything. But I can see it's a big ship."

    Hearing the conversation between the two of them, everyone felt nervous. It was extremely unlikely that the ship that could come here was an ordinary fishing boat. It might be a maritime patrol, or maybe it was the warship that Mongoose mentioned before.

    Sausage exclaimed again: "No, they are coming towards us, and their speed has exceeded 35 kilometers per hour!"

    As soon as he finished speaking, a purple lightning suddenly flashed across the night sky. This lightning was extremely terrifying.  Not only was it thick, but it also flashed continuously for four or five seconds. It seemed to be very low and flashed above the head. Everyone felt like their scalp was numb.

    But at the moment when the lightning flashed, several people saw it clearly through the telescope. A steel warship appeared in the black behind. It was huge in shape and had a bright gray-white color.

    "Damn it!" the meerkat cursed, "I'm really afraid of what will happen. Brothers, pay attention, that is a warship of the maritime patrol controlled by the Olumi Federation, a Type 1159 Kony-class frigate. They are a group of cannibals.  Many fishermen will avoid you as a bastard who doesn't spit out bones. And that's a warship, so be careful!"

    Lin Rui felt guilty after hearing this. The key was that their fishing boats were too backward. The other party was a warship, which was not on the same level at all.  The mongoose gritted his teeth and said: "Rick, they will catch up with us very quickly, and our stern cannot withstand the impact at all. Even if they don't fire, they can stop us very quickly. They are too fast, we  We can¡¯t be hit, our broken ship can¡¯t bear even a bump!¡±
