Chapter 217

On the calm sea surface of the Gulf of Aden, a super large oil tanker with a displacement of more than 100000 tons is moving, and the bow deck is the place where the six of them gather.

Although it is still January, the temperature in the Gulf of Aden has reached 278 degrees, especially the temperature on the deck directly exposed to the sun is at least 60 or 70 degrees. It is very uncomfortable for Gao Yang to suddenly arrive in the hot Gulf of Aden from the cold Idaho.

The mobile sunshade net provides a shade, and the surrounding cloth can block the sea wind. Under the sunshade net, the special equipment for the sea found after much trouble is thrown at your feet. Gao Yang, Li JinFang and Cui Bo are fighting the landlord with bare arms and only a combat vest.

As the most popular poker game in China, landlords' playing method has attracted the attention of Frye and groliov, while Bruce stands alone on the starboard side where pirates are most likely to appear, holding a telescope, hoping to see the emergence of pirates.

It has been ten days since Gao Yang arrived in the Gulf of Aden and seven days since he officially started his escort mission. The excitement of seeing the sea for the first time and boarding a large ship for the first time has long disappeared. The rest is boring except boredom.

The worried seasickness did not appear, because the water was too calm and the ship was too big. The exchange of fire that they thought was going to happen did not appear. These days, they were high and they didn't even see a hair of pirates.

From the first day when they were fully armed and always in battle to prevent the arrival of pirates, to the boring expectation of meeting the legendary pirates, this process took only five days, and after two days, they shouted loudly that their boredom was finally unbearable, so they decided to find something to do for themselves.

After boarding the Panamanian oil tanker to be escorted this time, Gao Yang's first thing was to unload their heavy equipment and start playing poker. The reason why they had to put the combat vest on their body was that Gao Yang brought lbt-2564a-kitpack combat vest, a special vest for VBSs of the U.S. Navy.

The three-level bulletproof provided by the combat vest is not important. The important thing is that the combat vest also carries a buoyancy version. Even if you fall into the water with a heavy equipment, you will not sink. In addition, the combat vest is also equipped with sea-mkii emergency oxygen bottle, which can breathe in case of accidental falling into the water. Gao Yang can swim. Li JinFang and Cui Bo also talk about swimming, But it was in a small ditch or swimming pool. As for groliov and Frye, they couldn't do it at all, but whether they could do it at all or not. On the sea, they still regarded themselves as authentic landducks, so even on a super ship, even if they fell into the sea, it was very unlikely, But Gao Yang, they still have to wear combat vests to feel more secure.

"Double king fried, three with one, ha ha, sorry, won again."

In Cui Bo's proud cry, Gao Yang reluctantly threw a handful of rotten cards in his hand on the table, and then took out two bills and threw them in front of Cui Bo. Li JinFang also said with a reluctant face: "it's really an evil door. It's always a rabbit taking the landlord, so I'm convinced."

Gao Yang said helplessly, "no way. It's called stupid people have silly blessings. Have you two learned it? Let you play for a while."

Frye took the lead. He sat in Gao Yang's position in high spirits and began to fight the landlord with Cui Bo and Li JinFang. Gao Yang stood behind Frye and looked at him. If Frye played wrong, he would give advice. As for groliov, he also wanted to participate, but he had to wait for Li JinFang or Cui Bo to give way.

"The radar found a suspicious target, about miles away, still approaching us."

When they were bored, the voice of the ship's liaison officer suddenly came from the waterproof walkie talkie hanging on Gaoyang's shoulders. However, none of them paid attention to the alarm sent from the walkie talkie, because they had experienced such alarm many times. At the beginning, Gaoyang felt nervous and finally looked forward to the arrival of pirates, but it was a pity that it was proved in the end, In this case, the so-called suspicious target is only a small fishing boat, because real pirates are unlikely to have only one ship.

After confirming the target position found by the radar with the ship's correspondent, Bruce began to search visually with a telescope, while Gao Yang and his colleagues continued to play their poker, because there was nothing to worry about. Now the ship has reached the northeast corner of Somalia and is about to leave the Gulf of Aden. As long as it reaches the Indian Ocean, the pirates will have no threat, Because the winds and waves in the Indian Ocean can't be withstood by those small speedboats.

Somali pirates like to approach and board the ship at night. They basically don't act in broad daylight. Although there are also cases of hijacking merchant ships during the day, there are few. Now the most dangerous area and time period have passed. If there is no accident, Gaoyang will leave the cruise ship after dark.

The cruise ship continued to sail, Bruce continued to search for the trace of pirates in vain, and the sun gradually shifted to the west, but unfortunately or fortunately, nothing happened. Time passed little by little. When he first came, he felt that it was still a beautiful sunset. At this time, it was just tasteless to see it again. Everything was as boring as the previous days.

The only thing that makes Gao Yang feel a little exciting is that Frye finally touched a good card. Just after Cui Bo threw a three, Gao Yang immediately shouted excitedly: "blow him up, blow him up now, close his door, give you four tens, and then give your shunzi, ha ha, break ten, your shunzi to nine is the biggest. Fark, Frye, you are so lucky."

Frye opened the door and blew it up, and then threw a shunzi. At this time, Li JinFang said excitedly: "wait a minute, I'll add a fried, four KS, ha ha, rabbit, you're not dead this time!"

Gao Yang was even more pleased and laughed: "ha ha, the double king fried took it over and gave another three belts and one, three fried and anti closing. Let me calculate. Two fried four hundred, three fried is eight hundred, plus anti closing is..."

"Pirates! Starboard!"

"Don't make a noise. I'm busy. Wait a minute, pirate?"

Gao Yang, who was trying to figure out how much Cui Bo should lose, was stunned. He picked him up and put the telescope at his feet and ran away. Cui Bo was also surprised. When he stood up and was about to run out, Li JinFang held Cui Bo down and said loudly, "boy, you can go if you want to go. Give me the money first. It's not easy to breathe. You want to run? No way!"

Ignoring Cui Bo and Li JinFang, Gao Yang ran to Bruce. Bruce pointed to the sea in the distance with a serious face and said in a deep voice, "there is a boat towing three small boats. The fishing boat will never be like this. It must be a pirate ship."

Gao Yang soon found Bruce's pirate ship with a telescope. Behind a fishing boat with a displacement of about 100 tons, he dragged three speedboats, which were almost one nautical mile away from them. Although most of the sun had fallen into the water, with the help of residual light, he could still see that the three speedboats were full of people.

"Brothers, pirates, what a pirate!"

Cui Bo finally ran out, held his tac-50 and said excitedly, "where is it? Let me see. I hope for the stars and the moon, but I hope for the pirates."

While talking, Cui Bo lay on the ground and quickly found the pirate ship with the sight on the gun. At this time, the small boat dragged behind the fishing boat had begun to leave the mother ship. A white water line was drawn behind the fast-moving speedboat and rushed towards the cruise ship flying high.

The anxious voice of the correspondent began to ring from the walkie talkie. "Pirates, this is pirates. Don't let them close. Warn them to shoot. Let them know that there are guards on the ship, and they will take the initiative to leave."

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 scared the frightened crew half to death. This seems too insidious, so Gao Yang can only sigh with regret: "Rabbit, scare them with a tracer bullet warning shot. Don't hit the ship and scare them away. However, if you shoot again at my command, others should be ready for battle."

Gao Yang buckled his helmet, put his shotgun on his back, and then picked up the EBR. After aiming the sight at a small boat, Gao Yang shouted, "rabbit, the speedboat in the middle, hit forward."

The speedboat in the middle is the most forward and closest to the cruise ship. Now it is about 1000 meters and almost half a nautical mile. This distance is completely within the range of accuracy for the 12.7 mm tac-50.

Trebler fired a shot immediately, and the tracer bullet with green light was very conspicuous in the already dark evening. The bullet directly fell into the place about 20 or 30 meters in front of the speedboat and splashed with water.

Gao Yang thought that one bullet could be done. At least it could let those pirates know that the ship was armed. The pirates usually don't fight against the merchant ships with armed guards. They only look for targets without resistance. However, this time, it's rare that those pirates didn't turn around and escape.

Looking at the approaching speedboat, Gao Yang was surprised, but he responded immediately and said, "one more shot, closer."

Cui Bo fired another shot. The bullet of this shot landed less than two meters in front of the speedboat, showing Cui Bo's good shooting skills, but the result was the same. The pirates still didn't stop, and the three speedboats still came towards the oil tanker.

Gao Yang said strangely, "no, it's different from what we heard. Shouldn't these pirates run away? Rabbit, shoot again. If they don't stop, big dog, warn and shoot in front of them. If they don't stop, be ready to greet people."

Li JinFang pushed the grenade into the chamber with a click, and then said with a depressed face: "these bastards don't come early or late. I just got lucky and finally began to win cards. These grandchildren jumped out. If they dare to get on the boat, I won't kill them. I'll let them swim back."
