Chapter 224 Faint
The captain of the Coraldirin is a Spanish-American named Fernando Basco. Of course, this name is simplified. Spanish names are usually long strings, and no one is likely to put a long string of names together. It's all said and done.
Fernando is already in his fifties, but he looks about the same as he is in his forties. He is a very enthusiastic and talkative person. Originally, he was a little nervous about the arrival of the pirates, but seeing Gao Yang and the others relaxed, Fernando's Confidence has also increased a lot.
"What Skeleton Gang? What a group of pirates named themselves?"
Antoncel picked up the telescope and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Some whimsical pirates, they think they have found a new way to make money, but I think they have found a shortcut to hell for themselves, hey, Pierre, look at that speedboat, the second one on the right, and you can see the skeleton in that man’s hand, that’s them, the Skeleton Gang, you’ll soon know what they’re here to do.”
The five speedboats of the Skeleton Gang were already close to the cargo ship, and the distance was only about a thousand meters. At this time, Fernando just said slightly nervously: "Should I shoot them now to scare them away? I don't think we should let them Too close."
Gao Yang smiled and said: "We will shoot, but I have to remind you that they can't be scared away, but don't worry, they are no threat. No matter what they plan to do, I can guarantee that they will not bring anything to this ship." Threat, the same old thing, the rabbit gives you a warning shot, and if they get too close, the big dog gives you a warning shot."
Everything was the same as yesterday. After two rounds of warning shots, the Skeleton Gang's speedboat still approached the Cloldilin. Then he started shouting to the ship using a loudspeaker. certainly. Because Gao Yang and the others were on the boat, the Skeleton Gang didn't receive a dime, so they left in despair.
After the Skeleton Gang left, Anton Cer and Fernando started talking and laughing again. After staying on the deck for a while, after confirming that the Skeleton Gang had not returned, Fernando suddenly smiled at Gao Yang and said, "I want to go to the cockpit. Do you want to visit? I heard that you haven’t eaten for a day. You can wait for the meal while visiting the cockpit. Soon you will be able to eat authentic Spanish seafood risotto. I personally taught the chef on the ship how to make seafood risotto. , now he is very good at doing this."
Gao Yang smiled and said: "Listening to what you said, I feel even hungrier, so what are we waiting for?"
The group of people followed the captain into the cockpit. The cockpit was quite spacious, and it didn't feel too crowded with a few more people. When the captain returned to the cockpit, the first mate who was commanding had no choice but to give up his seat.
The first mate on the ship is called John, a young white man in his thirties. He is tall and tall, and always has a straight face. It looks bigger than the captain's rack.
In fact, on the surface, there is no difference in the first mate's expression when facing Gao Yang and the others.
But Gao Yang always felt that when the first mate looked at them, his eyes were full of hostility, as if he was extremely disgusted with them getting on the ship. Although the first mate's hostile eyes always flashed away, Gao Yang still caught the first mate's hostility.
After Fernando entered the cockpit, the first officer stood expressionlessly on Fernando's side. At this time, Fernando also said in a deep voice: "John, go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare dinner for eight people first. They want Spanish chicken risotto. I want to eat with the guests."
A smile finally appeared on the first mate's stern face, and he said: "I will go to the kitchen myself and tell our chef that the captain must entertain the guests and ask him not to be lazy."
After the first mate hurriedly left the cockpit, Fernando smiled and said: "Although we are at sea, you know that the so-called seafood on the ship will not be fresh, so I can only serve you chicken risotto. , when we arrive in Sukna, I will personally cook a real seafood risotto to entertain you. Seafood risotto is the real delicacy and can represent Spanish risotto. It is my favorite and I believe you will also fall in love with it. its."
Fernando had the enthusiasm unique to Spanish people, and he had a great time chatting with Gao Yang and the others. The cooking of chicken risotto was also very simple. After waiting for about forty minutes, the first officer returned to the cockpit and said with a smile: " Captain, the meal will be ready soon, you should go to the restaurant."
"You take command for me. This is a dangerous sea area. There are already more pirates. Be careful. If there is anything unusual, tell me in time. I will be back soon."
After giving some instructions to the first mate, Fernando laughed at Gao Yang and the others and said, "Friends, go fill your bellies now."
Gao Yang can't read charts yet, but after several escorts, he knows that the sea area the merchant ship is currently in is a dangerous sea area. Although he doesn't think there will be any danger, and there are different lands on the sea, even if there is any danger, he can detect it in time, but Out of the caution that an armed guard should have, Gao Yang still planned to eat separately. It would be best if someone stayed in the cockpit at all times.
"Let's go eat separately. You go first, and Toad and I will go later."
Gao Yang and the others always ate separately in dangerous seas, but after Fernando hesitated for a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "I'm glad to see your professionalism. I like cautious people. Okay, let's go eat first." .”
No one said much. Cui Bo and the others would eat as quickly as possible and then take over for Gao Yang. However, just when a few people were about to leave the cockpit to eat, the first officer frowned and said, "I suggest you It's better to go eat together, because if the risotto is cold, you won't be able to eat it."
Fernando frowned and said, "Mind your own business. You don't have to worry about whether the food is cold or hot."
The first mate shrugged and said: "This is really none of my business, but the restaurant space is limited, and our people are about to have dinner. I think it's better to save the chef some trouble and not affect our crew's meal." good."
Fernando's face immediately turned ugly. Gao Yang saw that something was wrong, so he shrugged and said, "There's really nothing to worry about. Let's go have dinner together. This won't affect anything."
Fernando hesitated to speak, glanced at the first mate, made a gesture of invitation and left the cab first. Gao Yang and the others followed the captain. We came to the restaurant together.
After sitting down in the restaurant. A large bowl of chicken risotto was quickly served in front of Gao Yang and the others. Except for Fernando, everyone else was so hungry that they grabbed their spoons and started eating. Anton Saier ate more than Gao Yang. They were still fierce, and although Fernando was not hungry, he also ate a lot with them.
The chicken meat does taste pretty good, and it's a delicious meal. The depressed mood caused by the first mate also improved. After eating a lot, Antoncel wiped his mouth and smiled at Fernando: "It's really rude, but I'm starving, man, please forgive me. , but your first mate doesn’t seem to be very competent.”
Fernando shrugged and said helplessly: "A fool who was promoted by a rocket has just been promoted from the second mate to the position of first mate. And this is only his third voyage on my ship. But it seemed like he couldn't wait to take my place. And he brought a lot of bad habits to my ship, gambling on the ship, drinking on the ship, just a very bad guy."
Antoncel said in surprise: "How can you tolerate such a guy on your ship?"
Fernando smiled bitterly and said: "It was forced by the company, and my original first mate was transferred to another ship to be the captain. He is a good young man, but I can't stop his promotion opportunity, so I have to accept it." A fool will be my first mate, but after this voyage I will have a showdown with the company. Either I leave or he gets out. I can no longer tolerate a fool on my ship, so I would rather resign."
Antoncel shrugged and said: "This is an inevitable choice. No captain can tolerate a fool as his first mate. Also, your first mate seems to be very dissatisfied with our arrival. I don't understand. Could it be?" Doesn’t he want to be safer?”
"He may blame me for not telling him that there will be armed guards on board. Originally, there were no armed guards on this voyage until I received the notice from the company, but I didn't tell him. He didn't know until I went to pick you up. I think he might be dissatisfied with this, but to be honest, I was at fault for doing this, and no matter what the relationship was, I shouldn't have let him know until the end."
Fernando had no intention of hiding his family scandal, and frankly told him that there was a problem on his ship. Although he and Anton Saier shared a table and sat separately from Gao Yang and the others, Gao Yang and the others still heard it. After Fernando's words, I understood why the first mate always had a bad face.
Anton Cer shook the spoon in his hand and shrugged: "I think as long as you make a request for substitution, the company will not refuse. The senior management are not fools. They will not lose a good captain because of a stupid first mate. Yes, I think you..."
Before Anton Cer finished speaking, Bruce suddenly stood up and said with a serious face: "Are you feeling dizzy? It's like drinking too much, but it's not nauseating."
Everyone looked at Bruce in astonishment. They didn't know why he said such a sentence out of nowhere. Gao Yang reacted quickly. He immediately said: "Yes, I feel this way. What's wrong?"
Fernando said in shock: "I don't feel that way. Well, no, I also feel a little dizzy. What's wrong? Could it be that the food we eat has spoiled."
Bruce looked nervous, quickly opened his first aid kit, and said urgently: "Drugs, drugs such as powerful sedatives. I am familiar with this feeling. I can't go wrong. Don't move, don't move at all!"
While Bruce was talking, Gao Yang felt his head getting more and more dizzy, while Cui Bo stood up with a stunned look on his face. He wanted to speak but fell to the ground with a thud before he could speak.
Gao Yang felt his head getting more and more dizzy. At this moment, he saw that Bruce had taken out several pre-filled rapid syringes from the sealed protective box. After pulling out the protective covers of the pre-filled syringes with one hand, Bruce stumbled. He staggered a few steps forward, and then a needle pricked his thigh.
When Bruce wanted to open a prefilled syringe again, he fell forward and fell at Gao Yang's feet. The prefilled syringe in his hand fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Gao Yang also saw something in front of him. Black, and then I didn’t know anything anymore. (To be continued...)
