People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Everything that happened before his eyes made Chen Ziyan realize that this might not be some kind of supernatural power.

But... a man-made 'accident'.

The collapse of the fragile mast in such humid fog was a foreseeable outcome. When the mast fell, the masthead light hanging on it would fall down, and even if only a spark was splashed out, the oil-coated paper boat would quickly and violently burn.

Yes, through the collapse of the mast and such rapid burning, Chen Ziyan has confirmed that the plague ship just now was not what he thought it was, but a complete paper-made ship.

After realizing this, he quickly thought of other aspects.

What if they hadn't spotted the silently approaching paper boat ahead of time?

Will this paper boat hit the Trident directly? Given the fragility of the mast on the ship, the mast light would probably fall down immediately.

By then, it would probably be a ball of blazing flames, directly crashing into the Trident.

You have to know that although the Trident has been modified, its main frame is still made of wood. If it is really hit by a burning cargo ship, the flames will probably sweep up in an instant.

By that time, even if the Trident hadn't been burned, it would probably not be able to go any deeper.

It is precisely because of this possibility that Chen Ziyan felt that this must be a man-made accident, and the target was him and his ship.

"Cannon?" Hu Bayi was stunned, unable to understand why the cannon had to be prepared suddenly.

He was not unfamiliar with the artillery on the ship, or rather, he was most familiar with it. After all, he and Shirley Yang were the only ones who could actually operate the artillery on the ship. One of them had actually been on the battlefield, and the other had undergone orthodox American naval training.

With the knowledge reserve in this area, you can get started with it after a little attempt.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ziyan asked them to do this.

"I will explain it to you later. Now time is tight, so just do as I say." Chen Ziyan urged.

While speaking, he kept looking around, trying to find other paper boats hidden in the fog.

After figuring out what was going on, Chen Ziyan thought of a problem, that is, this kind of paper boat has obvious uncertainty, just like the one just now, it may have encountered an accident and burned prematurely before completing its mission.

Even he could easily see this, so how could the people behind the scenes not think of it?

And if the other party knew about this disadvantage, how would they deal with it?

In an instant, a thought appeared in Chen Ziyan's mind.

The easiest way to deal with this situation is to make more arrangements.

If one ship fails to complete the task, just arrange a few more. After all, this kind of paper boat is only a little bit troublesome to make, and its actual value is not high. It can be used as a disposable conventional means.

Just like grenades, if you can kill the enemy, who would care about how many grenades are needed?

The facts turned out to be just as Chen Ziyan had expected. Not long after, he saw the white paper boat appear in the fog not far away.

And this time, not just one ship, but three ships appeared at the same time, coming towards them from three directions.

"Master Ruan, turn right." After discovering this, he first shouted into the cabin, and then shouted a warning to Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, Shirley, don't let those paper boats get close!"

At this moment, the two men had already loaded the shells and had also discovered the approaching paper boat. After hearing Chen Ziyan's shout, they immediately opened fire at the hazy shadow of the boat in the fog.

Boom boom boom——

Because it was discovered early and the paper boat itself was not moving very fast, Chen Ziyan's move was very effective.

Although the specific details could not be seen, from the fact that flames appeared at the locations of the three paper boats after the shells fell, it can be seen that they have successfully prevented these paper boats from approaching.

"Master Chen, is there someone doing something behind the scenes?"

At this time, Hu Bayi also understood what was going on. He looked around vigilantly and asked Chen Ziyan. "Yes, you saw this boat. Even without external forces, it is estimated that it will not last long. It can only be placed temporarily. I think there should be other people in this fog."

Because the four paper boats around were burning, the fog around the Trident was greatly evaporated, so Chen Ziyan's vision was also improved.

This made it much easier for him to observe the situation around him, and he also had the energy to answer Hu Bayi's questions.

"This method is not common. Do you have any impression of it?" Shirley Yang asked.

Although this kind of paper boat sounds easy to make, there is a saying that goes, "It's difficult for those who don't know how to make it, and it's not difficult for those who know how to make it." And not everyone can use it.

If you have heard similar rumors, you might be able to find out who is behind it.

After all, there is fog all around them. Even if they have guessed that the other party should not be far away from them, it is impossible to find the person, especially when the other party is deliberately hiding.

"No, this is the first time I've encountered it. I've never heard of it before." Hu Bayi thought about it and said helplessly.

If he had heard similar rumors before, he would not have realized that something was wrong until just now.

Chen Ziyan also said: "I don't have it either. There are records of such means of unloading mountains, but they are all kerosene and the like. No one has used it on a ship yet."

Then he added: "It should be someone from the coastal area, otherwise they wouldn't disguise it as an epidemic ship."

But after saying this, Chen Ziyan realized that these words were basically useless.

Because the concept of coastal area is too broad, it is difficult to get an answer even if it is just the coastal area of ​​Fujian.

At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in the fog not far away.

The sound of this voice instantly attracted the attention of the three people.

Chen Ziyan went directly into the cabin and said to Ruan Hei, "Master Ruan, go in this direction and speed up."

This shrill scream gave him guidance, and Chen Ziyan, who had excellent hearing, instantly locked onto the source of the sound.

"it is good."

Ruan Hei also heard the screams and naturally knew what Chen Ziyan was going to do.

He also hoped to catch the sneaky person in the dark. After all, his whole family was on the ship. If something really happened to the Trident, they would not be able to escape either.

So he had no objection to Chen Ziyan's order to speed up.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang knew what to do and didn't make any sound after the screams. They just watched the fog in their field of vision vigilantly, guarding against any more paper boats coming out of it.

They knew that with Chen Ziyan's hearing ability, he would be able to determine the direction at the first moment, so they would naturally not make any noise to disrupt his thoughts.

Sailing in such a fog makes one feel confused and unable to tell east from west, south from north.

Especially after getting away from those burning paper boats, this feeling became more and more obvious. If it weren't for Ruan Hei's rich experience, he would have unconsciously deviated from the direction.

Chen Ziyan stood quietly at the bow, listening silently to the movements around him.

"there!"

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward.

He just heard a friction sound coming from that direction.

This time, after moving forward for a short while, something different appeared in front of us. Although it was not clear in the thick fog, from the outline it looked like a ship.

As he got closer, Chen Ziyan finally confirmed his guess: this was a ship, and it looked like an ocean-going fishing boat. (End of this chapter)
