    I sent An An home and took the urban expressway to the airport. The time was calculated quite accurately, it was five minutes to nine o'clock.

    "I left the brand new Mercedes-Benz SUV in the parking lot. It is estimated that when I come back in two or three days, the parking fee at the airport alone will be several hundred yuan."

    It¡¯s easy to understand why we take a flight to Shantou City first, because the closest distance from Shantou City to the Philippine Sea is only more than 300 nautical miles.

    Song Muyi's people have arranged everything. You can get your ticket and board the plane with your ID card. It takes off at 10:30 and walks out of Chaoshan Airport in Shantou at 12:30. Someone picks her up as soon as she comes out. She goes on the bus without stopping.  Go to a fishing village pier.

    At two o'clock in the morning, Luo Chong boarded a large-horsepower fishing boat with a capacity of 100 tons.

    Although it was his first time to go to sea to do this kind of thing, Luo Chong was not too nervous, because there was a lot of food, drinking water, and a series of life-saving equipment prepared in the soul-eating space.  , guaranteed not to let you die.

    With the soul-eating space in your body, your ability to survive in the face of natural disasters is a hundred times stronger than ordinary people.

    Shantou City is less than 400 nautical miles away from Bagji Island in Philippine territorial waters. At the sailing speed of this modified special fishing boat, it can be reached in more than ten hours.

    After boarding the ship, Luo Chong got into the cabin and began to sleep. The voyage in the first few hours was within our country's waters, so there should be no danger.  Now that the fishing moratorium has passed, such a fishing boat has no smuggled goods, so it will be fine even if it is inspected by the maritime surveillance.

    At 12 noon, Luo Chong was woken up by the crew and had lunch together.

    The quality of the food is pretty good. In addition to pasta and canned meat, there are also fruits and freshly cooked and steamed seafood.

    The four people who ate with Luo Chong were not real crew members, but security personnel on this trip. Among them, the middle-aged man whom Luo Chong called "Brother Zhang" was their captain.

    "Brother Zhang, is there any danger if you go over there?" Luo Chong asked casually

    "There will definitely be, it depends on our luck.'

    Lao Zhang replied: "The biggest danger is pirates, followed by the Philippine maritime patrol."

    "There are still pirates now?"

    Luo Chong was very curious. The incident a while ago when a Philippine warship fired machine guns at a fishing boat and killed a Taiwanese fisherman caused quite a sensation. He knew about this kind of thing, but he had never heard of the rumors about pirates.

    "Of course, have you only heard of Somali pirates?" Lao Zhang asked with a smile.

    "Yes, in recent years, Somali pirates are probably the most famous." Luo Chong nodded.

    ¡°Actually, there are many pirates in the South China Sea. In many cases, they are more cruel and cunning than Somali pirates.¡±

    Lao Zhang slowly said: "Every year, 50% of the world's pirate robberies occur in Asia. Last year, there were more than 170 maritime robberies."

    "Somali pirates like to hijack ships and ask for ransom, but our pirates don't. They are just a group of robbers who will leave after robbing. Moreover, their lives are also very poor. Sometimes, even a few bags on the fishing boat are  Instant noodles and bottles of mineral water will be taken away.¡±

    Hearing this, Luo Chong became even more interested and asked: "So, are there many pirates in the sea area we are not going to?"

    "It has decreased a bit over the years, but it has only been suppressed temporarily."

    Lao Zhang replied: "There are more than a hundred islands, large and small, in that sea area. Some of the people living on the islands have been pirates for generations. If they don't do this, they won't do anything else."

    Luo Chong smiled and asked: "What should we do if we encounter pirates looking for trouble?"

    "When you encounter a big boat, you must hide. When you encounter a small boat, just fight them hard."

    Lao Zhang sighed: "This mission is very important. We have been given an order from above. Even if we risk our lives, we must send you to that location and send you back safely. Moreover, the time cannot exceed three days."  ¡±

    "So, this ship also has heavy weapons?" Luo Chong asked with narrowed eyes.

    "Heavy weapons don't count."

    Lao Zhang nodded and replied: "It's just a machine gun, a few rifles and so on.

    "There should be individual rocket launchers, right?" Luo Chong continued to ask.

    Lao Zhang did not answer directly, but said gently: "Brother Luo, you don't have to worry about these things. We are all good players and we are confident to protect your safety."

    "Okay, I'm not worried."

    Luo Chong bit off the shrimp head in his hand and laughed.

    Not only are I not worried, I am even looking forward to it.When you encounter some wonderful things, you can also pick up a gun, shoot it a few times, and kill three or two short-sighted guys. It would be fun.

    How to put it this way, I also have quite good shooting skills. Whether it is mid-range burst shooting or long-range sniping, it is definitely much better than those pirates who have not received professional training.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? isn¡¯t?a?moment, but at around two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, when we were less than 50 nautical miles away from Badji Island, a crew member loudly warned that an unidentified ship had been spotted.

    Lao Zhang and others ran to the deck and used telescopes to investigate the distance; Luo Chong could see without a telescope that on the relatively calm sea, two blue-gray meniscus-shaped speedboats were approaching from the left front at a very fast speed.

    I just heard Lao Zhang say in the cabin that if you encounter such a crescent-shaped boat or a black oval-shaped hovercraft in the nearby waters, the people on the boat will be neatly dressed and their skin will not be very dark, unlike those  A fisherman wearing only big pants is most likely a pirate.

    Generally speaking, when fishing boats encounter them, they will immediately stop operations and leave the sea area as soon as possible. If they hide in time, they can escape.  After all, robbery at sea is not that simple. A fast-moving fishing boat cannot be stopped casually.

    However, our ship is not fishing at sea, but has to go to Badji Island in a targeted manner. When encountering pirates, we can only evade it slightly at most, but cannot retreat and escape.

    The two speedboats were getting closer and closer. According to Lao Zhang¡¯s wishes, the boat boss slowed down slightly just to see what these guys were planning to do.

    If you intend to rob, you will have to fight them head-on.

    "Probably not."

    Lao Zhang analyzed: "Pirates are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. This group of pirates seems to be of a higher class, and they are not so poor that they even rob fishing boats."

    ??On the fishing boat, apart from a little cash and food carried by the crew, there is only the salvaged seafood. Only low-level pirates who are crazy about poverty and crazy about hunger will consider fishing boats.

    When they were a few hundred meters away, the two meniscus boats also slowed down. One of them came closer, and someone shouted in English with a loudspeaker: "Leave immediately, change direction, leave immediately!"

    Another man standing with him had a rifle hanging on his chest and made a slit-throat gesture as a warning.

    "It's a bit strange that we won't be allowed to move on."

    Lao Zhang had doubts, so he asked the ship's boss to express his agreement with the pirates, slightly change the direction, change the channel, and slowly accelerate.

    The two speedboats followed behind for a few nautical miles, then turned and left.  It seemed that they had no intention of robbing the ship, but only wanted to drive away the nearby fishing boats and prevent them from approaching Badji Island.

    "Could it be that they have some important actions on Badji Island to prevent fishing boats like ours from causing trouble?"

    Lao Zhang murmured, having an ominous premonition.

    Luo Chong also guessed: "The worst case scenario is that the pirates know about the batch of goods we sank to the bottom of the sea, and they want to salvage them. I don't know, is this possible?"

    "It's hard to say."

    Lao Zhang looked into the distance with a solemn expression: "It was because someone leaked the news that something went wrong with this batch of goods. However, I feel that it is unlikely that this group of pirates are so powerful that they can receive information from our country's coast guard.  , but it should be It is possible that our cargo ship was seen by a passing fishing boat when it was discarding cargo near Badji Island yesterday morning, and then someone told the nearby pirates about this situation. Well, there is no such possibility.  Bigger."

    "If this is the case, then there will be some trouble." Luo Chong whispered: "Doesn't it mean that we have to snatch the things under the eyes of the pirates?"

    "After all, it's just a guess. No matter what, you have to go and take a look." Lao Zhang asked: "Brother Luo, what do you think?"

    This fishing boat was responsible for picking up Luo Chong and did not carry any salvage equipment.  As far as Lao Zhang is concerned, as long as he can take Luo Chong for a walk around Baji Island and then bring him back to Shantou City safely, then his mission will be completed.

    As for whether Luo Chong¡¯s people have the ability to pick up the goods and transport them back, he needs to decide.

    "Let's go and see."

    Luo Chong did not hesitate and made an immediate decision: "It's just a group of pirates, they can't scare me."

    "good!"

    Lao Zhang nodded vigorously and went to discuss a few words with the ship boss.  A quarter of an hour later, the fishing boat adjusted its direction and continued moving in the direction of Badji Island.

    At four o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the fishing boat arrived at its destination, but no suspected pirate ships have been seen yet in this area of ??water.

      In this regard, Lao Zhang¡¯s explanation is: ¡°We have an extremely accurate satellite positioning system, and it is easy to find the specific coordinates when the goods were discarded. The error does not exceed a radius of 200 meters. And those pirates, if they only receive fishermen,  Orally speaking, it is not easy for them to accurately find this coordinate point in such a large area of ????the sea. Maybe they are still searching around here. "

    Luo Chong looked into the distance and asked in a low voice: "But we can't rule out the possibility that they are waiting for us to come and salvage the goods, and then get something for nothing?"

    "It's possible."

    Lao Zhang nodded: "I also think that if we were a salvage ship, they wouldn't have intercepted us just now, but would have secretly monitored us."

    Luo Chong walked to the side of the ship, held his hand on the railing and looked down, and asked: "You mean, judging from the coordinate points, the cargo is down here?"

    "Yes, the error does not exceed a radius of 200 meters. If it has not been taken away, it must still be down there." Lao Zhang replied.

    "How deep is the water?" Luo Chong asked again.

    Lao Zhang replied: "This is shallow water, with a depth of about fifty to eighty meters."

    "It's less than a hundred meters, no problem"

    Luo Chong smiled faintly and said to Lao Zhang: "Brother Zhang, give me the equipment. I want to go into the water and take a look."

    "Do you really want to go into the water?" Lao Zhang looked stunned.

    Although the ship is equipped with two sets of quite advanced diving equipment, under the shadow of pirates, going into the water is still extremely risky.

    "I have to go down, and I have to go down alone."

    Luo Chong replied seriously: "I must see the existence of the goods with my own eyes before I can arrange for my people to come and do the work. Assuming that there is nothing down there, do I still need to let them come here in large numbers? This risk must be borne by me.  bear.

    "All right."

    Lao Zhang could only nod in agreement
