Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1823 Pirates
After leaving the scope of the Great Barrier Reef, the Xianhu circled the northeast corner of the Australian mainland, passed the Torres Strait between the Australian mainland and Papua New Guinea, and continued to sail northwest.

The next part of the voyage is all in tropical seas, and it will pass through many tropical islands along the way. It is also the most beautiful part of Elisa's vacation voyage.

After the drowning incident on the Great Barrier Reef, Elisa became even more obsessed with Zhao Lei, and simply lived in his cabin generously, completely giving up her previous behavior of sneaking away to spend the night with Zhao Lei every night.

As the saying goes, "women chase men, interlayer gauze", even Zhao Lei, who is used to beauties, can hardly refuse a mixed-race girl with sweet looks and exquisite figure like Elisa.After symbolically reminding Elisa a few times, Zhao Lei gave up struggling and acquiesced in her sharing a room with him.

However, Zhao Lei still kept the last principle, and he was limited to sharing a room with the mixed-race girl. Even if the two of them shared the same room all night, he still guarded the last line of defense and had no intention of overstepping.

For Elisa, even this is already a great improvement, and it also makes her feel satisfied, at least in a short period of time, there are no more demands.

The fairy gourd soon came to the Banda Sea, which is a beautiful tropical sea located between Indonesia and East Timor.There are many lush tropical islands dotted on the blue sea, which also makes people feel refreshed.

But what made Zhao Lei a little strange was that after entering the Banda Sea, the captain Jason seemed a little nervous.I often stare at the radar carefully, and listen to the radio very carefully, trying to hear something useful from the broken English of the locals.

This also made Zhao Lei a little strange, and couldn't help asking him: "Why do you look worried, what are you worried about?"

Jason, who was observing the radar, was taken aback, and quickly told Zhao Lei seriously: "I heard from many colleagues that this sea area is not very peaceful, so we must be careful."

Zhao Lei frowned and said, "It's not peaceful? Will there be a typhoon?"

"The bad weather is just one aspect." Jason said in a deep voice, "Besides, I heard that there are many pirates here!"

Zhao Lei was surprised and said, "Aren't the pirates all in Somalia? They can't travel so far, can they?"

Jason told Zhao Lei: "There are too many pirates in Somalia, and the route to and from the Gulf is so close, that's why they are so famous. However, the pirates in the Banda Sea have nothing to do with Somalia, they are all locals, and they usually go out to sea like fishermen. Fish, if you find a suitable target, you will become a pirate and start robbing, it is simply impossible to guard against!"

It was only then that Zhao Lei realized that the pirates in Banda Sea were all part-time pirates. No wonder they were not as famous as Somalia, so he asked Jason, "Do the surrounding countries not care?"

"Boss, you have to look at the countries around you." Jason smiled bitterly: "Indonesia and East Timor are both poor and weak countries. There are almost no maritime police, and even the navy is only a few. It’s just a broken warship. But the Banda Sea is so big, they can’t manage it at all. Even if they receive the distress signal from the victims and send ships to rescue them, it will be too late by the time they arrive.”

Zhao Lei nodded approvingly and said, "You're right, I hope our luck will be better, and we won't meet these annoying guys!"

However, there is a saying, "Come here when you are afraid." Not long after the conversation between the two, Jason greeted Zhao Lei loudly: "Boss, there is a situation!"

Zhao Lei was chatting with Elisa in the cabin, when he heard this, he immediately came to the cockpit and asked the captain, "What's going on?"

Jason said solemnly: "I found three small boats on the radar, and they have been following us for half an hour!"

Zhao Lei said: "Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe they just happened to pass through this sea area?"

"Impossible!" Jason flatly denied Zhao Lei's statement: "I deliberately changed course many times, but these three boats have been following us, and the distance is getting closer and closer. This is definitely not a coincidence!"

Zhao Lei believed in Jason's professionalism very much. He frowned and said, "According to what you say, there is really a problem. What are you going to do now?"

Jason smiled bitterly and said, "The Immortal Gourd is right in the middle of the Banda Sea, far away from the nearest inhabited land. Even if the police are contacted, they will not be able to arrive in time. Right now, they can only sail at the highest speed. Get rid of those guys."

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "Then let's do it this way, I hope you are lucky enough to get rid of those guys."

In fact, Zhao Lei's words "lucky enough" were for those pirates. If those guys really catch up, it will be considered bad luck.

However, other people on board did not understand what Zhao Lei meant, and they were all very nervous.After Gong Wenhui and Zeng Chunhua heard the news, they immediately changed their swimsuits into camouflage uniforms and started working.

It's a pity that the two of them are completely unarmed except for a few daggers, and according to Jason, the pirates here basically have guns, so there is no way to guarantee the safety of the fairy gourd.

Facts proved that Jason's worry was very reasonable. The three small boats shown on the radar were approaching quickly, and soon came within visual distance.

Jason looked worriedly at the following boat through the binoculars, and soon his face changed drastically: "No, they are armed, they must be pirates!"

In fact, Zhao Lei, who has far better eyesight than ordinary people, has already seen it. Not only is the opponent carrying an AK series rifle, but one guy is even carrying an RPG on his shoulder.This also made him a little surprised. He didn't expect that the firepower of these amateur pirates was quite strong, and they could indeed pose a great threat to ships sailing in this sea area.

Everyone else on the ship was very nervous, especially the waiters, all of them were frightened, for fear that the pirates would catch up.

Jason had already raised the speed to the highest speed, but the small boats of the pirates were faster, and the distance between the two sides quickly narrowed.In fact, this is also expected. After all, if the pirates want to rob, they must first catch up with the target, so their ship looks tattered, but the speed is not slow at all.

"Keep heading, I'll go and have a look behind!" Zhao Lei told Jason, and immediately ran to the stern.

When Zhao Lei and Xu Jia dealt with the traitor before, the Immortal Gourd also encountered a dangerous situation, and it was Zhao Lei who resolved the crisis.So the experienced Jason agreed loudly and followed the boss's orders.

However, Elisa didn't know about this, and saw Zhao Lei go to the stern, so she did not feel relieved to follow.At this time, everyone didn't know that the mixed-race girl's actions almost caused a catastrophe.
