Chapter 891
"They are coming. They have guns, but not many. A conservative estimate is that they have about 200 bullets. If we resist, they will probably not be our match." said an evil thought hiding in the grass.
The expensive, soft suit he was wearing was already wrinkled by him. It was obvious that Evil Thought did not have the reserve of the upper class.
"Don't resist. Take some of them as their prisoners and the rest of you try to hide. We need to find out their hideout and then find a way to get some guns." said the island owner.
"can."
The evil thoughts had a brief exchange and then split into two groups.
Some of them moved towards the pirates, while others moved deeper into the island.
Above the sky, invisible evil was watching the pirates' every move.
With the pirates' location information they provided, it was easier for the island owner and others to hide.
So the pirates searched for half a day but found no one.
"What's going on? Why is there no one here? Did they run away early? That shouldn't be possible! How could so many people escape without a boat? Search carefully! They must be hiding!"
Just when the pirates were searching in confusion, a group of people appeared directly in front of the pirate leader.
"Who is it!?" The pirate leader was shocked.
His men raised their guns one after another, and their expressions were somewhat uneasy as they looked at the group of people in front of them.
"Don't be nervous, you should be pirates, right? We are hostages. It's that simple." said the evil leader.
The pirate leader looked at the group of guys in front of him and felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what was wrong, but he just felt uncomfortable.
The hostages, numbering about 100 men and women, were silent, staring intently at the pirates.
"Boss, what should we do now? These guys are a bit strange! They don't seem to be afraid of us at all!" a pirate whispered.
The pirate leader shook his head and said viciously, "Tie them up first! These people should be enough! Leave some people to control the cruise ship, and the rest of you take these hostages away."
The pirate leader took out a flare gun and fired a flare into the sky.
The pirates searching in the distance saw this and began to turn back. This was the boss's signal to retreat.
After the pirates left, the crowd that had been hiding in the distance slowly came out. Their movements were so silent that they felt inhuman.
After a while, the 100 hostages who had appeared of their own accord were tied up, and the pirates who had been searching had also returned.
The pirates drove the hostages onto the small boat and then took them to their lair. Some pirates stayed on the cruise ship and kept an eye on the sea situation.
They also wanted to drive the cruise ship away, but driving such a large ship requires some skills. In the past, such a task was usually done by hijacked crew members. But there was no one on the cruise ship, so they couldn't drive it away.
However, they knew that as long as they guarded the cruise ship, they wouldn't be afraid of those on the island escaping. They knew for sure that there should be many people on the island.
Plurulululululul~
A burst of exciting engine sounds cut through the sea, and the pirates returned to their lair with their spoils.
The hostages stared silently at the island before them, their expressions remaining calm. Even though the island's environment looked extremely ominous, they didn't react in any particular way.
This is a large island, but the scenery on the island is not very good.
There were few trees here, just barren land, and above the land lay a large, ramshackle mass of dilapidated shacks.
A foul odor rose to the sky, and flies of all kinds buzzed and snarled. Numerous half-naked people were seen wandering about, many of them children and women.
Not far away, there were some dilapidated fishing boats catching seafood.
Seagulls swarmed the sky, swooping down from time to time to harass the islanders, snatching fish entrails from the ground. Their feces rained down. But the people below reacted calmly, having long since grown accustomed to it.
The pirate leader secretly observed the hostages out of the corner of his eye.
In his impression, most civilized people would be horrified after seeing the scene on the island. But strangely, the hostages were very calm this time. This made the pirate leader alert.
"Are these guys the navy in disguise? No, the navy has no need for such pretense. After all, I have cooperation with them. And they don't look like they were sent by other pirates."
The pirate leader couldn't understand the reaction of these civilized people, but he was too lazy to think about it. He simply waved his hand and had his men take these people hostage to a nearby factory.
That area is the cleanest place on the island and is specifically used to detain these hostages.
In the past, the factory provided good employment opportunities for local residents, but after the civilized people left, only an empty shell remained.
"You'll all stay here for the next few days. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll throw him into the sea to feed the fish!" the pirate leader threatened fiercely. This was his standard line, and he would basically say it to every wave of hostages.
Generally speaking, after he said this, basically no civilized people dared to resist or escape. Those civilized people were very precious, and the slightest scratch would make them cry for their parents.
The leader left after shouting, and the remaining brothers began to ask the hostages about their nationalities.
The hostages were very cooperative, and after asking for a while, the younger brothers discovered that they were all of the same nationality.
"There are more than 100 people here, enough to get a lot of money!" The younger brothers smiled happily.
The evil thoughts looked up and down at the humans in front of them.
These younger brothers felt a little uncomfortable being looked at.
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" a younger brother threatened.
"I'm just a little curious, how much money can each of us exchange?" asked the evil leader.
"Each of you can get at least tens of thousands!"
"Tens of thousands?" Evil Thought was clearly confused after hearing this. Because this amount of money was too little!
"Yeah! 100 of you are enough to exchange for millions!"
"Oh... Then I want to know what you plan to do with the money?"
"Buy some water and food, of course!"
“…Is that all?”
"What else?! I guess you want to say that you will give me a lot of money and let me help you escape?" The pirate showed a playful look.
"Hahaha~ You civilized people are the most untrustworthy! Before, a member of our tribe believed your lies and helped you escape, but in the end, you sent him to your so-called prison."
"You are the most cunning demons!" the pirates began to curse.
But the hostages remained calm, as if the pirates were not scolding them at all.
After the pirates had finished cursing, the evil leader continued, "We don't want you to let us go. We're just curious. Where did you get those guns? Is there anyone who would sell them to you?"
"Humph! These were left behind by civilized people! At first we couldn't understand why they would give us such weapons."
"But after some things happened, we found out! They left these weapons behind just to make us kill each other!"
"We may have had a chance to unite in the past, but now the blood feud has formed and we can no longer unite!" A trace of sadness flashed in the pirate's eyes.
"You have a pretty clear understanding of your living environment. Do you have any long-term plans?" asked the evil leader.
"How far is the long term? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? People here could die at any time! They could fall into the sea due to a storm, or be shot in a tribal fight. They could even die from diarrhea after eating some stale food..."
"There are so many ways to die waiting for us, why should we think long-term? Hehehe..." The pirate sneered.
Although he looks old, he is only 22 years old. However, after being exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, his face looks like he is in his forties or fifties.
But even at 22, he was considered old among the islanders, as most people did not live to adulthood.
"Why are people so different from each other?" The evil thoughts were also a little curious.
Although they don't have the so-called concept of kindness, their IQ is still online. So they don't understand why the current development of mankind is so unbalanced.
Why don't the rich humans help the poor humans? They are all the same.
In the eyes of the evil ones, only cooperation can lead to group expansion, and internal friction is a foolish practice. There may be friction among them, but they are much more rational than humans. Therefore, those frictions will not cause much damage.
The hostages stayed in the factory and finally had a meal in the afternoon.
This meal consisted of a small fish for each person, which had been simply prepared, with the internal organs and scales removed.
After the hostages got the fish, their expressions finally changed.
Seeing this, the pirates nearby showed playful expressions. They finally saw some familiar expressions! They thought these people could really remain calm!
These small fish were not cooked and were all raw. Normal civilized people would not be able to eat them. This was intentional by the pirates.
They wanted to starve these civilized people to prevent them from having the energy to escape.
"Eat! What are you standing there for? Do you want to starve to death?" the pirate on the side reminded with a smile.
"..." Upon hearing this, the hostages actually started to grab the small fish and eat them.
The pirates on the side narrowed their eyes slightly as they watched the scene.
In fact, the reason why evil thoughts are reluctant to eat these fish is because they know that eating raw meat will have a bad effect on the host.
They could also see tiny worms hiding in the fish flesh. Eating so many parasites could seriously affect one's health.
But they knew they had to eat. Only by conserving their energy could they act conveniently tonight.
There seemed to be only about 100 people in the factory, but in fact, there was a lot of evil thoughts floating in the air.
These evil thoughts are conveying a message to the hostages.
"We found several mentally broken people on the island. They have been possessed. They will come to pick you up tonight."
"Find a way to deal with the guards here. After obtaining firearms, break out in this direction..."
"We've surveyed the island and found only a few hundred guns. But there are hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, all concentrated in a cave. Your goal is to control that place."
The hostages below had already understood the situation, but the pirates guarding them were completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation and were still chatting and laughing.
Time passed minute by minute, and a full moon rose from the sea and hung in the center of the sky.
The mosquitoes in the warehouse quickly multiplied, and several pirates began to drive them away impatiently. The hostages also began to squirm.
"Hahaha..." Several pirates couldn't help laughing. After all, the actions of these hostages looked a bit funny.
