Chapter 211 Looking Forward to the Stars and the Moon.

On the calm sea of ​​the Gulf of Aden, a very large oil tanker with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons was sailing, and the deck of the ship's bow was where Gao Yang and his group of six people gathered.

Although it is still January, the temperature in the waters of the Gulf of Aden has already reached 278 degrees, especially the temperature on the deck exposed to the direct sun is at least 60 or 70 degrees. Suddenly arriving from the cold Idaho to the hot Gulf of Aden, It made Gao Yang and the others very uncomfortable.

The movable sunshade net provides a touch of shade, and the surrounding cloth can block the sea breeze. Under the sunshade net, the special equipment for the sea that was found after all the trouble was thrown at the feet. Gao Yang, Li Jinfang and Cui The three men were shirtless and wearing only a combat vest, and they were concentrating on fighting the Landlord.

As the most popular poker game in China, the gameplay of Landlord attracted the attention of Frye and Grolev, while Bruce stood alone on the starboard side where pirates were most likely to appear, holding up a telescope, hoping to see pirates. 's appearance.

It has been ten days since Gao Yang arrived in the Gulf of Aden, and seven days since he officially started his escort mission. However, the excitement of seeing the sea for the first time and boarding a large ship for the first time has long since disappeared, and what is left is nothing but boredom.

The worried seasickness did not appear because the water was too calm and the boat was too big. The firefight they thought was about to take place did not appear. Gao Yang and the others did not see even a hair of the pirates these days.

From the first day when they were fully armed and ready to guard against the arrival of pirates, to when they were bored and looking forward to meeting the legendary pirates, this process only took five days, and two more days later, they shouted and praised them. The boredom is finally unbearable. So I decided to find something to do for myself.

After boarding the Panamanian oil tanker to be escorted this time. The first thing Gao Yang and the others did was to take off their heavy equipment. Then they started playing poker, and the reason why they had to wear combat vests was because they thought Gao Yang and the others were bringing LBT-2564A-T K combat vests, which are special vests for the US Navy VBSS.

The three-level bulletproof provided by the combat vest is not important. What is important is that this combat vest also has a buoyancy version. Even if it falls into the water with heavy equipment, it will not sink. Moreover, the combat vest also has a sea-type emergency response. Oxygen cylinders for breathing in case of an accidental fall into the water. Gao Yang can swim, and Li Jinfang and Cui Bo can also be said to be able to swim, but they are in small rivers or swimming pools. As for Grolev and Frye, they can't swim at all, but no matter they can swim a little They still don't know how at all. On the sea, it is better for them to regard themselves as authentic landlubbers, so even if they are on a super giant ship, the possibility of falling into the sea is very slim. But Gao Yang and the others still had to wear combat vests to feel more at ease.

"Double kings explode, three belts and one. Haha, sorry, I won again."

Amid Cui Bo's proud cry, Gao Yang helplessly threw a handful of bad cards on the table.

Then he took out two banknotes and threw them in front of Cui Bo. Li Jinfang also said with an unwillingness: "It's so damn evil. The handles are blown up, and the rabbit always takes the landlord, so I'll give in."

Gao Yang said helplessly: "There is no way, this is called fool's blessing. Have you two learned it? If you learn it, let you come and have fun for a while."

Frye took the lead. He happily sat on Gao Yang's seat, and began to fight with Cui Bo and Li Jinfang for the landlord. Gao Yang stood behind Frye, watching what would happen if Frye If Lai is wrong, please give me some pointers. As for Grolev, he also wants to participate, but he has to wait for Li Jinfang or Cui Boken to give way.

"The radar found a suspicious target, which is about four nautical miles away and is still approaching us."

When Gao Yang was bored, the voice of the liaison officer on the ship suddenly came from the waterproof walkie-talkie hanging on their shoulders, but Gao Yang and the others ignored the alarm sent by the walkie-talkie, because Gao Yang had experienced such an alarm many times , Gao Yang and the others felt nervous at the beginning, and finally looked forward to the arrival of pirates, but unfortunately it turned out that the so-called suspicious target in this case was just a small fishing boat, because it is unlikely that there will be only one real pirate. Boat.

After confirming the position of the target discovered by the radar with the communicator on the ship, Bruce began to use the telescope to search visually, while Gao Yang and the others continued to play their poker, because there was nothing to worry about, and now the ship has arrived at the northeast corner of Somalia Now, the waters of the Gulf of Aden are about to be used, and as long as they reach the Indian Ocean, those pirates will not be a threat, because the wind and waves in the Indian Ocean cannot be resisted by those small speedboats.

Pirates in Somalia like to approach and board ships at night, and basically do not make any moves during the day. Although there are also incidents of hijacking merchant ships during the day, they are rare. Now the most dangerous area and time period have passed. If you don’t If something unexpected happens, Gao Yang and the others will leave the cruise ship after dark.

The cruise ship continued to sail, and Bruce continued to search for traces of pirates in vain. The sun gradually moved to the west, but unfortunately or fortunately, nothing happened. Time passed bit by bit. When I first arrived, I thought it was still a beautiful sunset , watching it at this time is just boring, everything is as boring as the previous days.

The only thing that made Gao Yang feel a little bit irritated was that Frye finally drew a good card. Just after Cui Bo threw a three, Gao Yang immediately shouted excitedly: "Blow him to death, blow him now, turn off!" His door, out of your four tens, and then out of your straight, haha, your straight out of ten to nine is the biggest, Falk, Frye, your luck is too strong."

Fry opened the door and threw a straight, and at this moment, Li Jinfang also said excitedly: "Wait a minute, I will also add a blow, four k, haha, rabbit, this time you still Don't die!"

Gao Yang was even happier, and laughed loudly: "Haha, take over the double king bombs, and then come out with three belts and one, three bombs plus anti-closing, let me do the math, two bombs are 400, three bombs are 800, plus Anti-closing the door is..."

"Pirates! Starboard!"

"Don't make any noise, I'm busy, wait a minute, pirate?"

After Gao Yang, who was calculating how much money Cui Bo should lose, came back to his senses in astonishment, he picked up the binoculars he put at his feet and ran away. Cui Bo also had a look of surprise on his face. When he stood up and was about to run out, Li Jinfang But he held Cui Bo down and said loudly: "Boy, you can leave if you want. Give me the money to get married first. I finally managed to breathe. Want to run? No way!"

Ignoring Cui Bo and Li Jinfang, Gao Yang ran to Bruce by himself, and Bruce pointed at the sea in the distance with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Over there, a boat is towing three small boats. Fishing boats will never be like this. Yes, it must be a pirate ship."

Gao Yang quickly found the pirate ship that Bruce mentioned with a telescope. It was behind a fishing boat with a displacement of about 100 tons and was towing three speedboats. It was about one nautical mile away from them. But with the help of my peripheral vision, I could still see three speedboats full of people.

Gao Yang shouted excitedly: "Brothers, pirates, really pirates."

Cui Bo finally ran out, hugged his -50, and said excitedly: "Where, where, let me see, I'm sub-Ao, looking forward to the stars and the moon, but the pirates are here."

While talking, Cui Bo lay on the ground, and quickly found the pirate ship with the scope on his gun. At this time, the small boat towed behind the fishing boat had already started to separate from the mother ship, and a white line was drawn behind the fast-moving speedboat. The waterline rushed towards Gao Yang's cruise ship.

The anxious voice of the communicator began to sound from the intercom, "Pirates, these are pirates, don't let them approach, warn and shoot, let them know that there are guards on board, and they will leave voluntarily."

In fact, according to Gao Yang's intention, he intended to bring the pirates closer, but just to see what the pirates looked like, he frightened the fearful crew to death. He sighed regretfully: "Rabbit, use tracer bullets to scare them with warning shots. Don't hit the ship. It's fine if you scare them away. But listen to my order and shoot again. Everyone else, let's get ready for battle."

Gao Yang buckled his helmet, put his shotgun on his back, picked up the EBR, and pointed the scope at a small boat before Gao Yang said loudly: "Rabbit, the speedboat in the middle, go ahead beat."

The speedboat in the middle is the most forward and the closest to the cruise ship. Now it is about a thousand meters or half a nautical mile. For the -50 with a caliber of 12.7 mm, this distance is completely within the range that can guarantee accuracy.

Cui Bo fired a shot immediately, emitting a green glowing tracer bullet, which was very conspicuous in the already dim evening. The bullet directly fell into a distance of about 20 to 30 meters in front of the speedboat, splashing a lot of water.

Gao Yang thought that he could do it with one bullet, which would at least let the pirates know that there were armed guards on the ship. Pirates usually would not go head-to-head with merchant ships with armed guards. They would only look for targets that were not capable of firing. Take action, but this time the situation is very rare, the pirates did not turn around and escape.

Looking at the speedboat that continued to approach, although Gao Yang was surprised, he reacted immediately and said: "One more shot, closer."

Cui Bo fired another shot, and the bullet of this shot landed less than two meters in front of the speedboat, showing Cui Bo's good marksmanship, but the result was still the same. The pirates still had no intention of stopping. A speedboat is still coming towards the tanker.

Gao Yang said strangely: "No, this is different from what we heard. Shouldn't these pirates run away? Rabbit, shoot again. If they still don't stop, Big Dog, shoot a warning shot in front of them." , if this doesn’t stop, then prepare to greet people.”

Li Jinfang pushed the grenade into the chamber with a click, and then said with a depressed look: "These bastards, come sooner or later. I just got lucky and finally started winning cards, and these grandsons jumped out." , if they dare to get on the boat, I will not kill them, I will let them swim all the way back."
