Chapter 1297: 1297. Firefight (1/5)

Chapter 1297 1297. Crossfire (15)

At a certain period in history, pirates have been criss-crossing the Arctic Circle. For example, the famous and notorious Viking pirates like to drill into the Arctic Circle.

It is well known that there is no business around the Arctic Circle, especially in the Arctic Ocean, but it is precisely because there are few people that it is easy to avoid official capture.

There is even a saying that the famous Greenland was discovered by pirates, and it was also the residence of pirates at first.

In modern society, the word pirate is far away from the general public. Only the Somali waters and some remote waters in Africa have these sea robbers.

Li Du didn't expect to encounter this thing in the Arctic Circle, so after hearing the captain's shout, he hurried to the bow of the ship to watch it.

A ship is approaching, it looks like it is also a cargo ship, but there are no cargo boxes on it, and a flagpole with a black background is erected on the bow of the ship. On the flag, there is a pale skull and sickle modeling.

There is still a distance between the two sides, and to observe each other requires binoculars.

Little Ford looked through the binoculars and said with a smile: "This is really a pirate with socialist characteristics. There is still a scythe hanging under the skull. Why, are they going to harvest wheat after the robbery?"

Steve said calmly: "Be serious, what happened today is not right, we are too unlucky, right? The first time we went to sea, we ran into pirates?"

Big Ford said: "If this is the case, it's really a bit bad."

"What are you talking about?" asked Little Ford.

Li Du smiled helplessly, did this guy come to show off his cuteness? He explained: "What Steve and your brother are saying is, it's probably not a coincidence, we're being targeted, they're coming after us, and if that's the case, it's going to be bad."

If you encounter pirates by chance, it’s okay to say that they have sufficient weapons and equipment. Brother Wolf and his party are armed to the teeth, with a full set of modern individual combat equipment on their bodies.

But if the other party came specifically to deal with them, they would definitely be prepared and bring more powerful weapons, so that they might not be able to deal with it.

Their cargo ship was called the Ice Sea Narwhal. When the pirates appeared, the captain immediately slowed down and slammed the rudder to turn away.

Several crew members nervously prepared for the upcoming battle, they took out the shotguns hidden in the boat, some set up spear guns on the side of the boat, and some waved to Li Du and his party: "Go to the cabin quickly, hide quickly! "

Brother Wolf and his party came out of the cabin after changing their gear. They looked at the old-fashioned rifles in the hands of these crew members and asked suspiciously, "Shall we go into the cabin and you will protect them?"

The captain and the crew looked at them in shock. Several people looked at the rifles in their hands and then at their equipment. They threw away the shotguns and put their hands on their heads.

One crew member groans: "Oh God, what's going on? I have a hunch we're in trouble."

Brother Wolf and the others look like they are not ordinary people at first glance. In this kind of disorderly place, if you have a relationship with them, you will more or less run into some troubles in the future.

Firecracker laughed and went up and patted the captain on the shoulder. He said, "We're all in trouble now. No, we didn't cause trouble. Trouble came to us. Let's find a way to deal with these damned pirates first."

Elson was afraid that there would be danger in the firefight later, so he went up to persuade Steve to go back to the cabin to take shelter.

Steve grinned and said: "About 80 years ago, my grandparents sailed on this sea, and they must have encountered trouble. I want to know who was in trouble at that time. His old man also ran to the cabin Did you go to hide?"

Elson said: "That's different, kid, your grandpa is the captain, he needs to take the lead, but you are not the captain..."

"Then even if I don't have to take the lead, I can't hide behind the soldiers, otherwise, wouldn't I be insulting the reputation of our Tucenberg family?" Steve smiled.

Vikajalina nodded heavily and said: "When a man is in the face of danger, he must face up to it, instead of hiding behind others and walking the good road that others have stepped on."

Seeing her appear, Steve stopped laughing, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Why are you here to join in the fun? Go back quickly! God, why did you bring Kuafu out?"

A rope was tied around the neck of the fat mantle, and the other end of the rope was in Vikajarina's hands, just like walking a dog.

The Ice Sea Narwhal is not considered a huge ship, so it is relatively easy to turn. The captain wants to turn to the nearest coast, but they have already driven a long way, and the distance from the coast is also far away. It's been a while.

The pirate ship was chasing behind, also a freighter, and their ship was faster. It was only twenty minutes since the discovery, and the distance between the two ships had been shortened by less than half.

"Damn it, captain, drive faster!" a crew member shouted anxiously.

The captain was also very anxious, and shouted: "Is there any bullshit on their ship? The cars on our ship alone weigh dozens of tons, and there are so many people and so much supplies. How can we drive faster? How can we distance ourselves from them?"

Even if there were no cars or people on board, the speed of the Ice Sea Narwhal was not as fast as that of a pirate ship. After all, people depended on speed for their food. Although it looked like a cargo ship, it could be expected that the ship's power system had been strengthened.

Li Du clapped his hands and said, "It's better to prepare for battle, Brother Wolf, you are in charge and deploy the defense line."

Brother Wolf nodded, gathered the bodyguards of several people, and began to arrange firepower deployment according to the length of guns and weapons.

From the perspective of firepower, their strength here is not bad, and there are more than 30 long and short guns in total. But Russia can't help guns. During the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a large number of powerful weapons were scattered among the people.

Since the pirates eat this bowl of food, their weapons must not be bad. Brother Lang thinks that they may have machine guns on board.

Brother Wolf told Li Du and others about his conjectures and conjectures. Li Du was frowning and thinking, at this time another crew member shouted: "Mad's luck is too bad! Too bad luck! Turn around quickly, there is an iceberg ahead of us!"

They wanted to drive towards the coast, but an iceberg slowly drifted to block their way. This is really a wolf before a tiger, as the crew said, their luck is really bad.

This iceberg is huge. Just floating on the sea, it is as high as a three- to four-story building. According to the iceberg theory, it can be known how huge the part hidden under the water is. For a small boat like them, once it hits it, it will definitely It will be overturned and smashed by the iceberg!

Li Du picked up the binoculars to look at the iceberg in the distance. The iceberg was white and crystal clear, and it came from nowhere. The wind and waves were blowing along the way, and ice cubes continued to disintegrate and fall into the water, causing huge waves.

Looking carefully at the iceberg, his heart moved, and he suddenly had an idea.
