229: Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Captive 229: Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Seven: Captive Gao Yang pulled out the P226 from his waist, reversed the gun to hand the grip to Bruce, and said in a deep voice, “See if it’s yours or Rabbit’s?”
After taking the handgun, Bruce’s eyes immediately lit up, and he said joyfully, “This is my gun, no mistake, it’s mine, fantastic, but where is the spare magazine, boss?”
Gao Yang shrugged, “I’d like to know that too.
We can look for it later.
I left one alive, oh, I hope he’s still alive.
We could wake the captive and ask him, but even if all the spare magazines are lost, I don’t mind.
It’s good enough that we found the gun back.
I bet if Rabbit woke up, he would cry to death.”
After kissing his handgun affectionately, Bruce laughed and said, “Seriously, I’d cry to death too if I lost my gun.
Handguns may just be your sidearms, but for me, it’s my only weapon.
Okay, where’s my first-aid kit?”
Gao Yang shook his head, “Don’t know, I looked around but didn’t find it.
Right now, we should finish up here, then asking the captive would be the most direct way.”
Bruce went to check the pirate that Gao Yang had knocked out.
After confirming that the pirate was not dead, the two of them stopped the ship, took the people locked in the cell outside to breathe some fresh air, collected all the guns and ammunition together, and after checking the entire ship, Gao Yang and his team tried to wake the pirate who was knocked out.
After pouring some water on the face of the pirate lying on the ground, the pirate opened his eyes in pain.
Upon seeing Gao Yang’s grim face, the pirate immediately screamed, “Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me.”
The captured pirate who appeared to be only in his teens and as thin as a stick was typical of all the pirates Gao Yang had seen, with none having even a slightly plump build that would have been considered normal.
The young pirate, terrified upon seeing Gao Yang, was utterly panicked.
Gao Yang didn’t need to put on an intentionally fierce look to scare him; he simply leaned his face forward, and the pirate, covering his eyes with his hands, trembled all over.
“What’s your name?”
Gao Yang asked calmly, and the young pirate, not daring to look at Gao Yang, said with a trembling voice, “Farah, my name is Farah.”
“Good, tell me, where are the crew members of the merchant ship?
Where are we now?”
“The crew of the merchant ship is on another ship; we are heading back to land.
We are going back to the village.”
“Where is this other ship?
What do you mean by ‘most’ exactly?
Has anyone been killed?”
“No, nobody’s been killed.
There is one of our own aboard the merchant ship, and they are now close to land.
There are eight crew members on another ship; they are also on their way back to land, just that they left two hours earlier.”
Gao Yang knew that the First Mate named John must be the insider; there was no need to ask about that.
Nor was there need to ask why John wanted Farah to kill them.
Clearly, Gao Yang and the others, including Captain Fernando, must have known that it was the First Mate who had drugged them.
So if Fernando and Gao Yang did not die and were released, the First Mate’s crime would certainly be exposed, which is why he was in a hurry to have Farah kill them.
After thinking for a while, Gao Yang said sternly, “Uncover your face, look at me, and tell me now, are you the person in charge of this ship?
Or are you the captain?”
Farah shook his head repeatedly, looking at Gao Yang with terrified eyes, “No, I just speak English, the captain of this ship was killed by you.
I’m really just responsible for translating; I’ve never killed anyone, I’m a good person.”
Gao Yang smiled and asked, “Where is our equipment, our valuables, tactical vests, helmets, guns, everything, where is it?”
“Most are on the other ship, your things were divided as loot.
What we got is what we have now; the rest is on the other ship, really, I’m not lying.”
Bruce urgently asked, “The first-aid kit, have you seen a first-aid kit?
Tell me, where is my first-aid kit?”
Farah quickly nodded, “It’s here, on this ship, in the cabin where we sleep, below, under the deck.
I can bring it to you right away.”
Gao Yang swung the handgun he was holding and said, “What about the magazines?
The magazines for the handguns, and the ones for my sniper rifle?”
Farah lay flat tremblingly, then reached into his trouser pockets and drew out a magazine from each pocket.
As he shakily lifted the magazines, he said with a quivering voice, “The rest are in the sleeping cabin, all the stuff is there.
No one here knows how to use your sniper rifles, so we didn’t touch them.
We’re waiting to give them to our boss back onshore; he’ll pay us based on the value of what we captured.
We haven’t touched anything, afraid that damaging them would reduce their value.”
Gao Yang pointed to indicate to Bruce that he had found his P226 on that body.
Bruce immediately rushed over, hoping to find his spare magazines on the body, and soon let out an excited shout.
Although he only found two of his spare magazines, at least Bruce knew they hadn’t been lost.
If they weren’t on the body, they would definitely be in the cabin.
Gao Yang had exactly three magazines, and now he had reclaimed them all.
Feeling quite satisfied, his curiosity suddenly peaked, and he said, “Tell me, how much bounty would our two sniper rifles fetch you?”
“At least a thousand US dollars, at the very least.
Our boss is very generous.”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “Your boss is indeed generous.
Since you’ve taken such good care of my guns, I suddenly feel like showing off.
Let me tell you, the price for two sniper rifles, along with the scopes and night vision devices, is at least a hundred thousand dollars.
Okay, bragging time’s over.
Get up now and take us to get the medical kit.”
Farah’s look of terror switched to astonishment.
Staring at the EBR behind Gao Yang, he said incredulously, “Just two guns can sell for that much?
Oh, I’ll get your stuff right away, immediately.”
Farah struggled to his feet, grimacing and clutching his belly, limping toward the bow.
Gao Yang and Bruce followed behind him, waiting as Farah lifted a tattered cloth from the floor to reveal a ring, which he pulled to reveal an opening leading down to the cabin beneath the deck.
Gao Yang suddenly realized why he hadn’t found their belongings; they were all hidden under the deck.
Through the narrow ladder, Bruce was the first to enter the cabin beneath the deck, and Gao Yang had intended to follow until Bruce’s words dissuaded him.
“F**k, it stinks down here, but the good news is that I’ve found the stuff.
Boss, no need to come down, you’ll just throw up.
F**k, it really reeks.”
Gao Yang watched as Farah caught each item that Bruce handed up; night vision devices for the sniper rifles, spare magazines for the rifles and pistols, holsters for the pistols, extra bullets that weren’t in magazines, and most importantly, the medical kit, which Bruce already had on his back.
However, things like the combat vest, helmet, and walkie-talkies weren’t on this boat.
Soon, Bruce shouted, “There’s no more stuff, nothing of value left.
I’m coming up.”
Not seeing the item he particularly valued, Gao Yang asked urgently, “Did you see my axe?
My Lucky Axe?”
“No, definitely not.”
Gao Yang immediately glared at Farah and demanded, “Where’s my axe?
The axe with a bullet dent in it?
Speak up, you damn pirate!”
Farah replied timidly, “Threw it away.”
Wherever he went, Gao Yang always took his Lucky Axe with him.
The significance of that axe to him was too great.
He would rather lose the custom-made pistol Jack had given him than his axe, because if he lost the pistol, he could get another one made, but there was only one Lucky Axe.
When he heard the axe was thrown away, Gao Yang’s heart turned cold.
His voice trembling, he said, “What did you say?
Thrown away?
Where?
Speak up!
Did you throw my axe into the sea?
Did you?
Tell me now!”
Farah replied hastily, “Didn’t throw it into the sea.
I saw them carelessly toss it on the ground, on the ship, the merchant ship!”
As long as it wasn’t in the sea, there was still a chance to retrieve it.
After taking a deep breath of relief, Gao Yang said to Bruce, who had just climbed up from the lower deck, “If there’s a way to make them wake up faster, go ahead and do it.”
After checking the medical kit, Bruce said gravely, “I only have six suitable drugs left.
I used one on you, lost two, so now we can only make three people wake up quickly.
You have to choose who to inject, but don’t worry, I estimate that at most it’ll take six hours, and everyone will wake up.”
After thinking for a moment, Gao Yang said, “Rabbit’s sniper rifle is here, give him a shot.
The other two for Antoncel and Fernando, I have many questions for them.”
Bruce immediately went to inject the people Gao Yang had chosen, while Gao Yang stayed on deck continuing to interrogate Farah.
Just then, the walkie-talkie that Gao Yang was holding suddenly rang out.
“Is my trouble taken care of?
Just tell me it’s done, but don’t make it too clear, you idiot.”
The voice of the first mate sounded very anxious.
Gao Yang handed the walkie-talkie to Farah and said sternly, “Tell him you’ve done as he asked.
If you say anything out of line, you know what’s coming for you.”
Farah nodded, swallowed several times to steady his emotions, and then replied, “As you wished; your trouble is taken care of.
They’ve been tossed into the sea.”
“Damn it, you stupid fool, I already said not to make it too clear.
Well, considering you did a decent job, I’ll forgive you this time, idiot.”
Being called an idiot, Farah’s expression turned to annoyance.
Watching his sullen face, Gao Yang smiled and said, “That guy’s the real idiot.
Buddy, I can forgive you and even offer you a way out.
I might even give you a sum of money to live comfortably for the rest of your life, provided you’re willing to help me take out that jerk who insulted you.”>(To be continued.
