Chapter 96 (1/2)
There are matches and lighters in this world. If there are matches, it's useless to soak them in the water.
Lighters do work, but where do these Marines get dry strips to light the fire?
Well, if they really dry their clothes and tear them off to be used as torches, it's reasonable. But what's the stick they use for torches? That's a gun!
Have you ever seen a drowning man with a gun in his arms?
In a word, Ian found that the Marines looked too suspicious.
”We're not really fooled, are we?”
At this time, all the members of the spade Pirate Group looked at each other, and then looked at their captain, ace. However, ACE didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and wanted to let the people pull in.
”Wait a minute!” Yi An said: ”don't rush to rescue. The position of the navy is a group of hidden reefs. If you are too anxious, you can't get out if you sink in!”
As he said it, Ian sighed to himself. Ace wanted to save people, which was a good thing, but he thought it was a little simple. When he really arrived at the scene, Ian found that it didn't seem to be what he had imagined.
For Ian's persuasion, ace was puzzled. He didn't understand why he saw people, but he wanted to stop.
”I'm not in a hurry to save you!” Ian explained to him: ”if the other party is really the victim, then our ships are here. They can afford to wait a little longer. But if they are not the victims and see that we have no action, they should take action.”
Now the members of the spade Pirate Group are all inclined to Ian's opinion, so they also persuade ace one after another.
As soon as ACE could talk, he would smile and wait.
It was late, and there was no wind. The navy soldiers on the opposite side could see their ship not far away, but they could not see what the flag was like. They only knew that it was a black pirate flag.
Through the telescope, Ian could see the Marines looking at each other, but there was no sign of depression on their faces.
This makes Ian feel more and more wrong. If it's really the victim, there are two reactions when he sees a ship coming but doesn't lean over. One is shouting to attract attention, the other is frustration. After all, his side is a pirate ship and it's impossible to save the Navy, so they should understand this, It's right to show frustration.
However, the navy soldiers on these reefs did not show either emotion. They didn't do much except to wave the torches in their hands at the beginning.
Ian's heart moved, and he taught Shipley to say in a low voice, ”you turn the boat around and make it look like you're going to leave!”
