The mongoose took Lin Rui and the others onto the boat, which was an ordinary fishing boat. Although the mongoose guarantees that this is the best boat in the village, it is the simplest wooden boat, equipped with two diesel engines as power. The fishy smell in the cabin and the salty smell of the sea are disgusting. Sausage and another mercenary checked the engine and fuel, and came back and nodded to Lin Rui, "No problem, although the power may be weak. But it can help us get to Misrata."
"What about the power situation?" Lin Rui asked.
"There is a small diesel generator and several batteries on board." The mongoose nodded. "And in order to avoid being discovered, we had better turn off the lights on the boat at night. It doesn't use much electricity."
"Get on the boat and prepare to sail." Lin Rui greeted the other mercenaries, "Pay attention to the conditions of the surrounding sea during the boat trip."
"Understood." Sausage said, turning around and gesturing: "Raising!"
A group of mercenaries on the back deck are busy. Hearing his order, a group of mercenary fighters began to pull the rope together. There was a sound of "clap", and a triangular mast rose from the stern, and it stretched out and swelled down the wind. The speed of the ship has sped up a lot.
Lin Rui saw the instrument panel on the rudder position controlled by Sausage, and asked, "How about the speed?"
Sausage replied: "Southeast wind, diesel power and sails, this kind of broken ship can have this speed is pretty good."
Crazy Horse commanded everyone to pull the ropes and unfold all the sails. The wind was strong and the speed of the boat accelerated a lot. This wooden wrecked ship still had its sails erected, which looked very much like those pirate ships specializing in sea robbery in the European Middle Ages. It was pitch black around the boat at night, except for the guards and pilots, Lin Rui and the other mercenaries leaned in the boat to rest for a while. Although the smell of the ship was disgusting, they even slept in the pile of dead people full of corpses and didn't care about the fishy smell.
In the darkness, someone yelled. Lin Rui turned over and jumped up and ran out of the room to take a look. The doors of all crew rooms in front were open. It seemed that something went wrong outside and everyone went to the deck.
Lin Rui was dumbfounded before he ran on the deck. The night was ferocious, the sky was heavy rain, the sea was roaring crazily, the ship was shaking violently, and it seemed that it might be overturned by huge waves at any time.
There was a busy and tense atmosphere on the boat, and everyone was following the instructions of the sausage and the mongoose. Obviously only a few of them have spent a long time at sea.
"The wind is too strong. Lower the sails. Everyone will put me on the front deck to lower the counterweights and stabilize the bow. Hurry up, I don’t want to die, move faster!" Sausage roared, the instrument on the rudder. It's all fuzzy, it's all water, rain and sea water mixed together.
Lin Rui looked at it. The wind and waves were coming from right in front. There was water everywhere on the boat, and the counterweight was carried by a thick iron chain. Throwing from the bow into the water, the hull began to tilt. Although this method is old-fashioned, once the bow is stabilized, the ship will not turn over. This is why the ship has to be weighted.
A group of mercenary soldiers were busy in a panic, and Lin Rui caught the crazy horse in the crowd: "What's the matter?"
Crazy Horse was scorched and drenched by the heavy rain, and wiped the rain channels on his face, "Our ship went into the deep sea in order to avoid the enemy's maritime patrol. The weather forecast said that there will be constant storms in this area. We are too unlucky. Yes. I drove in at night, but now the boat cannot go back and must go forward."
The storm was so great that not only my eyes could not be opened. Moreover, he couldn't hear clearly if he didn't speak loudly. Lin Rui couldn't hear clearly. Only the loudspeaker embedded on the ship was continuously expanding the voice of sausage and mongoose in the cab. The wind and waves on the sea were uncontrollable danger. They want to escape now. Must fight the wind and waves.
However, this kind of fighting was all about a few mercenary fighters and the sausage mechanic. The ship was originally small, and some mercenaries who were not good at ships just wanted to help, they would only help more and more.
Seeing that the storm is getting bigger and bigger, the sky is full of muffled thunder, can this ship pass it? Lin Rui felt a little suspenseful.
Sausages kept ringing on the radio, and a few minutes later, the mongoose also roared, with a rapid tone: "An unknown ship was found behind, 72 degrees south of due east!"
Everyone on the ship was shocked. Even people like Lin Rui who didn't know much about sailing knew that at this time when an unknown ship was encountered in this kind of sea, it was only the enemy who came.
Lin Rui rushed to the stern of the boat and raised his binoculars to look around, but unfortunately the sea surface was too dark to see anything. After all, this is not an advanced warship, and there can be no modern equipment to detect it.
Lin held the wireless communicator and bowed his head and said, "How fast are they?"
The mongoose's voice was completely exclaimed: "The speed is very fast, far exceeding us. We are now less than 18 kilometers per hour!"
"Attention everyone, everyone, the enemy ship is found in the rear, and everyone from the security team will go to the back deck for me, and the whole ship will be ready for battle!" Lin Rui was very calm.
Several mercenaries copied their weapons and went to the stern. "Can you see their flag?" the machine gun asked.
The mongoose shook his head and said, "It's too dark, and there are wind and waves, you can't see anything. But you can see that it's a big boat."
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, everyone felt nervous. The ship that can sail here is very unlikely to be an ordinary fishing boat. It may be a maritime patrol. Maybe it is the warship mentioned by the mongoose before.
Sausage exclaimed again: "No, they are coming for us, the speed has exceeded 35 kilometers per hour!"
As soon as his voice fell, a purple lightning flashed across the night sky, which was extremely terrifying. Not only was it thick, but it flashed continuously for four or five seconds. It seemed to be pressed very low, and it flashed on the top of the head. Everyone felt a tingling scalp.
But at the moment when the lightning was shining, several people could see through the telescopes. In the black behind it appeared a steel warship, which was huge in shape and bright in gray and white.
"Damn it!" The mongoose scolded, "I'm really afraid of what comes, brothers pay attention, it is a warship of the Maritime Patrol Controlled by the Olumi Federation, a Type 1159 Kony class frigate. They are a group of cannibals. Many fishermen avoid the who don’t spit bones. And it’s a warship, so be careful!
Lin Rui felt guilty after hearing this. The key point was that their fishing boat was too backward, and the opponent was a warship, which was not at the same level. The mongoose gritted his teeth and said: "Rick, their speed will catch up to us soon, and our stern cannot withstand the impact. Even if they don't fire, they can stop us very quickly. They are too fast, we Can't be hit, our broken ship can't stand a bump!"
