The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3669

The junior captain of Ten Thousand Armies had a serious expression on his face as he said, "What are you talking about? You came here to rob the merchant ship that we were escorting. Not only did we not kill you, but we even gave you a lifeboat. Now, you're saying that I'm trying to kill you? Why don't you think about it for yourselves? Even if I were to sell all six of you scums, it would not be worth this lifeboat!" The pirate cried out in anger, "If you wanted to be a good man, you should do good until the end! You should leave us with an engine at the very least so that we can drive back to our base!"

The junior captain laughed and said, "It's okay. I see that your base is only about a hundred nautical miles away. You can just paddle and paddle all the way back."

"Paddle back..." The pirate broke down as he cried out in protest, "Even if we were to really paddle all the way back, it would take us at least a few days! How are we going to go back alive if we have no food or water?!"

The junior captain asked with a surprised look on his face, "Aren't you all pirates? Can pirates at sea still be afraid of having no food and water? There are so many merchant ships traveling back and forth on the Gulf of Aden. There is no lack of merchant ships for you to start robbing!"

The pirates were filled with despair when they heard this.

Their weapons had been confiscated, and they did not even have a rope that they could use to climb aboard a cargo ship. Their lifeboat was now without power, and it was also filled with holes. In this situation, not to mention hijacking a cargo ship, but even if a cargo ship were to pass by their side, the surge of waves could knock and overturn their lifeboat.

At this time, the junior captain from Ten Thousand Armies said, "Alright, it's getting late. It's time to get going."

As he spoke, he instructed his subordinate, "Release the lifeboat!"

The subordinate activated the lift immediately, and the lifeboat began to descend slowly from the side of the ship.

At this time, those pirates who still had an arrogant demeanor before this were all crying, and they looked as if they were all about to die.

When the leader of the group saw that the lifeboat was being lowered, he panicked and shouted out in horror, "Brother, give us some fresh water at least! Otherwise, we really would not be able to make it, then..."

The junior captain was leaning against the cargo ship's rail as he smiled and said, "I think that it would be more realistic for you to pray that God will give you rain."

The man looked at the surrounding sky. The entire sky over the Gulf of Aden could be said to be cloudless and as clear as the blue sea.

Based on that fact, it might not rain for a week.

At that moment, the junior captain pulled out a pistol from his waist and fired several shots with great precision to hit the rope hanging from the lifeboat.

Immediately afterward, the rope snapped, and the lifeboat suddenly fell from the side of the ship from several meters high as it crashed hard onto the sea.

This was accompanied by the sound of the six people screaming like crazy. The lifeboat slammed heavily on the surface of the sea, and water jets began spurting out from the bullet holes that had been pierced by the gun earlier due to the pressure. These six people were in a completely chaotic situation, and some of them even fell into the sea.

At the same time, as the cargo ship

ele

moved forward, high surges of waves were pushed up on both sides, and some people were pushed out of the boat along with the water Some people fell into the sea and never came back up whereas the rest of the people who were left on the boat tried their best to stabilize the boat as they tried to use their hands to pour the water out of the boat. Some people even used both their hands and feet to try to block more than twenty of the bullet holes at the bottom of the

boat.

At this time, the junior captain from Ten Thousand

Armies remembered something, and he asked his subordinate, "Oh, by the way, there are no life jackets on the boat, right?"

The other party replied, "Don't worry, Captain. There are life jackets, but they have all been punctured in advance. They will not be able to inflate them even if they exhaust themselves trying to do so."

After saying that, he continued, "In

addition, we have replaced the

bottled water inside with sea water in advance. As for the compressed biscuits, we left a little for them, but the more they eat it, the thirstier they will get. So, I estimate that it would be better for them to have none than to have it at all."

The junior captain gave a thumbs-up as he exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Well done!"

Sure enough, when the several

people on the lifeboat saw that there

was no hope of plugging the leak, the person-in-charge shouted immediately, "Look for the

emergency box! There must be an

emergency box on this kind of

lifeboat! Perhaps there might be life

jackets, food, and water!"

The group of people immediately found the emergency box hidden under the deck from the stern of the lifeboat.

After that, they all rummaged through it with great joy, and they found a whole dozen of bottled water as well as a dozen packs of compressed biscuits and several unblown life jackets.

These men were overjoyed when they saw these supplies!
