Chapter 766 Pirates
Nathaniel looked confused. The bear man stamped his feet, rushed out of the room, and shouted in the corridor: "It's on fire! Put out the fire!"
It was midnight and most of the soldiers were sleeping.
Hearing the roar of the bear man, the soldiers who were awakened from their sweet dreams rushed to the deck in a panic and looked for water pipes everywhere.
But the fire spread too fast. In just a few minutes, the whole ship was bathed in flames.
The heat wave hit his face, and Nathaniel seemed to be burned by the hot air. He ran out in panic: "That woman! Bring that woman up--"
He rushed to the stairs.
However, the entire first floor had already been submerged in the sea of fire.
Thick smoke and blazing flames.
The fire spread to the second floor. Five or six soldiers covered their mouths and noses with clothes and ran to the third floor with their backs bent.
Nathaniel blocked the stairs with his arm: "Go to the bottom floor and bring up our prisoners!"
But no one paid any attention to him. The soldiers lowered their heads and tried to bypass him by drilling through the gaps on Nathaniel's left and right sides.
But Nathaniel didn't give them this opportunity.
He took out a pistol from his pocket, quickly loaded it, and raised the gun above his head:
Bang——
The deafening sound of gunfire floated far away on the sea.
The sound of gunfire was still very deterrent. The soldiers who were running around stopped, and even the bear man who was organizing the firefighting ran over after hearing the news.
Nathaniel raised his gun and stared at the soldiers on the stairs, and a few words popped out from his teeth: "Go, bring that woman up!"
The road on the bottom floor was all blocked by fire, so how could he go down?
Even if he could go down, with such a big fire, the woman would have been burned into jerky.
The soldiers crowded on the stairs, looking up at Nathaniel with a gun.
The bear rushed over, snatched the gun from Nathaniel, and shouted to the soldiers: "Quick, go and launch the lifeboat--"
The soldiers then lowered their heads and rushed up with big strides--
The bear pulled Nathaniel aside and roared: "Neil, are you crazy? What time is it now! We don't have time to find that woman--"
Nathaniel said frantically: "But she is our last hope--without her, how can we prove that all this is Amos's conspiracy? Without her--the president's death will also be blamed on us--without her, we are all dead. It's over——"
The bear man grabbed Nathaniel's shoulders tightly with his big hands: "If we die, it will be all over! Come on——Follow me, three lifeboats have been burned, and now there is only one left!"
"But——"
"No buts!" The bear man looked around and lowered his voice: "If the soldiers only care about escaping at this time and don't listen to our orders, what can you do? Ah! ? "
While the soldiers on the ship were still busy fighting the fire, the bear man and Nathaniel quietly sat on the lifeboat, took two capable soldiers and fled.
The soldiers fighting the fire on the ship found that the fire could not be put out at all, and wanted to ask Nathaniel and his opinions, only to find that they had already rowed far away in the lifeboat.
The remaining dozen soldiers were helpless, cursing, holding floating objects, and jumped into the sea to survive.
The two soldiers rowed the oars hard, moving forward in the dark and unknown sea.
Nathaniel sat in the lifeboat in a daze, his face, which was burned by the flames, was cooled by the slightly cold sea breeze.
He shuddered,
The ship was twisted and deformed by the flames, making a creaking sound, and the curses and shouts of the soldiers who fell into the water echoed on the sea.
Nathaniel's waist was hunched, and his whole face seemed to have aged by a dozen years.
He muttered to himself: "Why did it catch fire? Without that woman, how can we prove our words... Why is my luck so bad..."
The bear man opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
But he couldn't think of any words of comfort.
So he closed his mouth.
The shouts gradually faded away.
Nathaniel suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up from the boat. The boat shook, and he shouted:
"Rick! Do you think that woman is still alive! This fire was actually set by her?"
As long as she is alive and finds her, they still have hope.
He looked at the bear man eagerly.
"Absolutely impossible," the bear man shook his head cruelly, crushing Nathaniel's last hope.
"The anesthetic effect on her body has not completely disappeared. The continuous electric shocks to her brain have caused her nerves to become disordered and she has lost her basic ability to move... Neil."
The bear man sighed long and said tiredly: "... We failed. No one will believe what we say. Come back to Mexico with me, and find another opportunity to rebuild the laboratory in the future."
Neil thought blankly: Find another opportunity to rebuild the laboratory?
- Do I still have a future?
Nathaniel really has no future.
After floating on the sea for more than ten hours, Nathaniel and the bear man were finally discovered.
However, it was not a marine patrol or a kind fishing boat that discovered them - but a group of pirates who cruised in the Pacific Ocean and specialized in killing and robbing.
