Chapter 1270 The Waves Are a Bit Noisy

Curry is a seaman who has served on the freighter "Oseberg" for 3 years and 27 days.

The freighter, named after the "Oseberg" in the Norwegian Viking Ship Museum, has been plying the Baltic trade route since it was launched four years ago.

Every time they go to sea, these crew members will playfully joke about shipping goods by sea as going to the Baltic Sea to play the autumn wind. However, what he didn't expect was that after so many years of sailing on the calm Baltic Sea, this time he was really hit by the autumn wind...

"be honest."

Originally wanted to move his numb calf, but he didn't expect that just as he moved a toe, he was kicked in the back.

Looking at the shadow of the rifle reflected on the deck, Curry dared not say a word.

Although he has the same name as Neptune, he doesn't have any superpowers, and he doesn't have any muscle bumps all over his body. Faced with this kind of thing, as an ordinary person, he only dared to bow his head submissively, for fear that the most vicious people behind him would give him a gun butt and throw him into the sea to feed the fish.

Standing behind him at this moment is a group of men who call themselves pirates—yes, in the 21st century, a group of pirates actually appeared on the calm Baltic Sea.

Judging from the skin color and tone of voice of these people, it is obvious that they are from East Africa. However, what Curry can't figure out is how did they fly to the distant northern Europe? !

God, there was no such thing as pirates here two hundred years ago.

After kicking the dishonest hostage, the dark-skinned man with a face scarf on his face carried an AK and walked towards the railing of the deck. He walked behind a man holding a binoculars and a stubbled chin, and spoke.

"Boss, how long is it?"

"The maximum speed of the Arctic Light is 27 knots, and our limit speed is 40 knots. If there is no accident, half an hour is enough for us to drive the ship to their faces."

Black man: "Are we going to run straight into it later?"

"Yes," put down the binoculars in his hand, looked at the skyline where no shadow of the ship could be seen at all, Abraham narrowed his vulture-like eyes, took off his sunglasses and put them on the bridge of his nose.

He is Marash's most capable subordinate, and he has done many horrific robberies on the high seas. Because of his trust in his ability and loyalty, Marash entrusted him with this task.

And Abraham does not intend to live up to the trust of the leader, he is determined to win this action!

Looking at the leader's back with some hesitation, the dark-skinned man hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but speak.

"But--"

"The leader arranged for a fishing boat to pick us up nearby. We just need to escape the sea area quickly in an escape boat after the cruise ship hit and sank."

The plan sounds flawless, as long as the whole operation is disguised as a tragic cargo ship collision, no one will know that the bones sunk in the Baltic are stamped with a few bullet holes.

If it doesn't crash, he will board the ship with his men, do a lot of killing on it, and then install thermite to blow up the entire keel. There is no need to keep any hostages, even if the nearest patrol team comes to support, it will take three hours, but they don't need to keep any hostages, the whole operation can be resolved within an hour.

However……

Will everything really go so smoothly?

Although he had such worries in his heart, the dark-skinned man didn't dare to ask more, for fear that this fierce man might mistake him for fear.

For people like them, timidity and death are things that can be equated.

If he showed this and lowered his head in fear, like the ancient myths of the tribe, the vultures of death would fly down from the sky without hesitation and peck through his skull...

...

On the deck of the Northern Lights.

Because of the sudden sound of the siren, people exchanged horrified glances, looking around in confusion.

The businessmen chatting with each other put down the champagne in their hands, the lady in the gown involuntarily grasped the male companion's arm, and the messengers who brought wine and food also had the same confused expression on their faces.

"what's the situation?"

"Did someone accidentally touch the bell?"

"This is a cruise ship carrying the royal family, how could someone make such a low-level mistake! It's really embarrassing!"

At this time, a person wearing a crew uniform came to the deck and said in a loud voice.

"Don't be nervous, there may be strong wind and waves ahead. Please go back to your room and wait for the alarm to be lifted. We will inform everyone to continue the afternoon tea."

However, this loud voice did not immediately control the situation, but made the situation on the deck even more chaotic. The bewildered people looked around nervously, asking around, hoping to find out what happened.

But there are also nervous people who, even at this juncture, have not forgotten to flirt.

"James, have we encountered an iceberg?"

"Don't worry, my beautiful 'Ruth', if you encounter an iceberg, then use my love for you to melt it..."

The expression on his face didn't change at all. As soon as the alarm sounded, Wang Peng put his right hand into his arms calmly, and stood behind him with his back to Lu Zhou, his eyes narrowed dangerously. a seam.

The security guards scattered around also took action one after another, evacuated the crowd nearby, and were alert to possible dangers in the riot.

"It's not safe here, we'd better go back to our room."

Looking away from the couple hugging each other not far away, Lu Zhou looked at Wang Peng's back and asked.

"what's going on?"

Wang Peng raised his left hand and pressed it on the wireless headset, and said seriously.

"It's not clear...we are confirming the situation here."

At this moment, the waves below the cruise ship suddenly became turbulent, and splashes two or three people high were splashed on the side of the ship.

The people standing on the edge screamed and retreated. In order to avoid the splash, they even fell to the ground. The shaking ship knocked the wine glasses on the table to the ground, and the scene was in a panic for a while.

Lu Zhou squinted his eyes and looked at the sea not far away.

From the not-so-turbulent waves and the pulling sensation from the soles of his feet, he could feel that it wasn't the waves getting bigger, but the cruise ship suddenly speeding up.

At this time, probably a colleague confirmed the situation from the captain's room, Wang Peng stretched out his hand and pressed the wireless headset, and said with his back to Lu Zhou.

"A freighter has deviated from its course and is heading straight towards us. The captain tried to send a contact signal to the freighter, but there was no response. And just now, they increased the speed of the ship to the maximum... It seems that Want to catch up with us."

"Maybe they wanted to play us."

"It would be great if it was, but the situation is obviously not that simple now..."

"Then what we should go to is not the room, but the captain's room."

Wang Peng: "My colleagues are already there."

Lu Zhou: "Then we will go too."

As if thinking of something, Wang Peng nodded, led Lu Zhou through the opened road, and walked quickly into the cabin. In this shaking and bumping, a group of people moved straight towards the direction of the captain's cabin.

Finally, arrived at the destination.

Wang Peng stepped forward and opened the cabin door, and stepped into the captain's room first.

"How's the situation? Are you in touch?"

"Not yet?" The staff in charge of communication held the phone with a look of embarrassment, his face was full of uneasy expressions, "We tried to change the course, but they also changed the course right after...There is no doubt, They're coming after us."

"Something might be wrong!"

Waiting like this is not an option.

Without hesitation, Lu Zhou took out the goggle-like holographic glasses from the inner bag of his clothes, and put them on the bridge of his nose.

"Xiao Ai, connect to the orbiting satellite... I need aerial pictures of the nearby 100-kilometer sea area."

Xiao Ai: 【Received! Connecting ()]

Seeing Wang Peng looking at himself who was muttering to himself in a strange manner, Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then smiled and pointed to his glasses with his index finger.

"AR glasses...it's not convenient to use a mobile phone here."

Meanwhile, in outer space orbit.

A meteorological observation satellite of Xingkong Technology, with a light blue arc behind it, was pushed by the plasma propulsion, left the original orbit, and moved to the area above Northern Europe.

A clear aerial image, after simple processing, quickly appeared in Lu Zhou's field of vision, and after a few simple zooms, the cargo ship that deviated from the channel was locked.

The moment Lu Zhou saw the deck of the cargo ship, his pupils shrank slightly.

After a while, he looked at Wang Peng who had been looking at him, and said.

"I'm afraid we've run into pirates."

After he finished speaking this sentence in Chinese, he repeated it in English.

And almost as soon as he said it, the captain's room immediately fell into a panic.

"Pirate?" The bodyguard of the Royal Guard glanced at Lu Zhou and asked with a strange expression, "Are you sure?"

This is the Baltic Sea. It is not easy to find a developing country. There are no such things as pirates.

As we all know, that thing is a specialty of ZF-free regions.

Ignoring the gaudy bodyguard, Lu Zhou, who knew that this guy might not be useful for a while, turned his attention to Wang Peng.

"I have sent the picture to your phone."

Wang Peng immediately took out his phone and unlocked the lock screen.

When he saw the aerial picture, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

The hostages and pirates were on the deck of the cargo ship. Not only did they have no intention of covering up, they even tied the hostages to the side of the bow railing as a cover.

It's obvious what they're going to do.

That is to use hostages as a threat and generally launch a frontal attack on them.

Lu Zhou: "Do you need to negotiate with the other party?"

It's hard, but it should be possible to figure out a way.

"unnecessary."

Taking out a satellite phone that looked like a PHS, Wang Peng pressed the mechanical button to enter the password, then edited a message and pressed the send button.

After finishing this, he retracted his mobile phone and turned his gaze out of the window.

"Our men are already on their way."
