Chapter 1298 Iceberg (1/2)
Pointing in the direction of the iceberg, Li Du said, ”This iceberg can move in the sea even though it is so big, which means it's in a current, right?”
Brother Wolf nodded. ”Yes, it moves with the current and sea breeze, with the current as the main force.”
Li Du went to the captain and said, ”There's no need to hurry and make a U-turn as we try to get around the iceberg. We'll wait for the pirate ship to approach.”
The captain opened his eyes wide and cried, ”Waiting for the pirate ship to approach? What is this for? Do you mean to fight them? No, sir, saving our lives is more important!”
Li Du said, ”Our firepower is not bad, and we don't know the extent of theirs. I say we should test it out first. If their firepower is inferior to ours, it would mean we have an advantage.”
The captain looked at him as if he were a maniac. ”What if their firepower is greater than ours?”
”What else can we do? We'll keep running away.”
The captain said, shaking his head, ”There would be no time.”
Li Du pointed to the iceberg and said, ”We will escape with the iceberg.”
The captain looked at Li Du with horror. He steered the ship around and shook his head. ”No, I'm sorry, sir. I can't go along with that, I am responsible for the lives of the people on this ship.”
Li Du held the rudder and said, ”So what is your plan? Could your ship evade capture?”
”We will flee as long as we can, then there may be a way out. If we head for the iceberg, we will be dead for sure!” said the captain stubbornly.
Li Du snapped his fingers and said, ”Someone, come here.”
Big Ivan came at once. He put his gun to the captain's head and smiled. ”Listen to Mr. Li. He is the captain now.”
The captain shouted, ”What are you doing? You're looking for death, you know?”
Seeing their captain threatened with a gun, the crew was agitated. They grabbed their own shotguns to aid the captain.
Brother Wolf and others loaded the bullets into their guns with a loud, ominous clicking sound. Hearing it, the excited crew quickly calmed down.
Li Du went out of the captain's cabin and said, ”Brother Wolf, take out the rescue boat. You take the people ahead of time to hide behind the iceberg and pay attention to safety.”
Steve asked blankly, ”What is this for?”
Li Du said, ”First we test out the fire. If the other side's firepower is poor, we go after them. If they have more firepower, we go to the iceberg to take refuge.”
”The pirates will certainly continue to pursue us. I will arrange for men to lie in wait behind the iceberg. When they get around the edges of the iceberg, the ambush team will launch a surprise attack and try to cause them as much damage as possible.”
Steve asked with concern, ”Is this plan reliable?”
Li Du shrugged and said in a carefree tone, ”No, but do you have a better suggestion?”
Steve looked at the Ford brothers, who did not say a word. They simply shook their heads and let Li Du get on with it.
Thus, with the four main leaders agreed, Ice Sea Narwhal began to slow down. Brother Wolf and three more men split up between two boats and got to the iceberg first.
