Chapter 1045
In the chaos, He Chengshi took out a piece of gravel from somewhere and slashed it towards Qi Mingyu's abdomen.
Qi Mingyu dodged quickly, grabbed the opponent's wrist with one hand, and stabbed the gravel into the opponent's abdomen.
Blood oozed out instantly, He Chengshi groaned, and his body went limp.
Qi Mingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked coldly at He Chengshi who was curled up there, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
He Chengshi was breathing heavily, and when he looked up at Qi Mingyu, the madness in his eyes was finally gone, leaving only unwilling resentment.
Qi Mingyu stared down at him, the gun still pressed against his forehead. His voice was as cold as the sea breeze: "If you move again, this bullet will go through your head."
Just then, two figures swam towards the cruise ship. They were Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu.
The two of them paddled and swam towards this side with all their might.
They finally had time to jump down after putting out the fire.
"Brother Xiaoyu, are you okay?" Zhou Shuwan climbed onto the boat and went to see Qi Mingyu first. Seeing that he was just in a mess but not injured, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, don't worry." Qi Mingyu waved his hand, but his eyes were always fixed on the sea in the distance.
He Chengshi's men were still wandering a few hundred meters away. More than 20 small boats were fanned out, like a group of hungry wolves waiting for an opportunity. However, without the order from their leader, they did not dare to move forward for the time being.
“Let’s go back to the cruise ship first.
Mu Mu immediately grabbed the oar, and the wooden oar splashed into the sea water.
Zhou Shuwan also half-knelt on the other side of the boat and rowed.
The boat rose and fell like a leaf in the waves.
He Chengshi was tied in the middle, and the rope tightened the wound on his abdomen. Dark red blood seeped out through the gaps in the rope, soaking the boat board beneath him red.
He was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and let out a few muffled groans. His eyes were full of unwillingness, but he was powerless to resist.
Qi Mingyu leaned against the stern of the boat, holding his gun and staring vigilantly into the distance.
The sea breeze lifted the corners of his blood-stained clothes, and he could clearly see the swaying figures on the small boats. Although they were motionless for the time being, they were like dormant beasts that could pounce at any time.
"Faster!" he whispered.
A few minutes later, the cruise ship's ladder finally appeared in front of them. Zhong Tiyun had already been holding Zhou Jianghai and waiting at the top of the ladder. Seeing them approach, she immediately bent down and stretched out her hand: "Hurry! I'll pull you up!"
Qi Mingyu first grabbed the handrail of the ladder, used the force to climb up two steps, turned around, took the rope handed to him by Mu Mu, and held He Chengshi tightly.
He Chengshi no longer had the strength to struggle and could only let them drag him away. The wound on his abdomen was rubbed by the edge of the ladder, and he trembled with pain, but he didn't even have the strength to resist.
Mu Mu stepped on the rungs of the ladder, reached out to hold He Chengshi under his armpits, gritted his teeth and lifted him up: "Hold on! Don't fall!"
Zhou Shuwan followed closely behind him and climbed up the ladder. He turned around to help hold He Chengshi's legs, and the three of them worked together to lift him up.
The ladder swayed slightly due to the weight, and He Chengshi's body rubbed against the steel edge of the ladder, making the wound more painful.
He couldn't help but let out a muffled sound, but Zhou Shuwan glanced at him coldly: "If you don't want to fall, just be honest."
Finally, they dragged He Chengshi onto the deck of the cruise ship.
Zhong Tiyun immediately handed over a thicker hemp rope. Qi Mingyu took it, bent down and tied He Chengshi's ankles tightly to the iron pillar in the middle of the deck, and then wrapped it around his waist and abdomen twice to ensure that he would have difficulty turning his body.
He Chengshi collapsed on the ground, the blood from his abdomen soaking the deck beneath him. His face was as pale as paper, only his eyes still revealed resentment as he stared at Qi Mingyu and the others.
Because Zhou Shuwan had just checked the other person's wound, it was not a fatal injury, and the other person had a lot of fat on his belly, so it didn't matter if he treated it a little later.
Therefore, none of them were in a hurry to treat each other's wounds.
After all, they couldn't open the space now, and the only first aid supplies they could use was the small box they had taken out in advance.
It's not enough for our own use, so how can we bear to give it to the enemy!
Mu Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned and walked to the side of the ship, and checked the condition of the hose.
The oil pipeline was still transporting fuel steadily. In the transparent hose, black fuel was slowly flowing towards the cruise ship's fuel tank.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment Qi Mingyu climbed onto the deck, he grabbed the submachine gun next to the railing, walked to the side of the ship and aimed it at the group of small boats in the distance.
His voice was steady and powerful. "Everyone, stop five hundred meters away! We just need to fill up the gas and leave in four hours. Besides the gas, we won't touch your things, and we won't make enemies with you!"
The group of small boats in the distance suddenly became quiet, and someone stuck his head out of the boat to look over here.
Seeing their hesitation, Qi Mingyu raised his voice again, his eyes sweeping over the black oil barrel fragments floating on the sea, his tone becoming more stern:
"Don't even think about a sneak attack! There's still fuel on the surface, and the valves to the underwater tanks are still open. If you move any further, I'll remove the hoses now, let the fuel leak all over the sea, and then fire one more shot, and we'll all be blown to pieces!"
These words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the hope in everyone's heart.
The men all knew that the reserves in the underwater oil tanks were enough to turn the entire sea area into a sea of fire, and no one was willing to gamble with their lives.
Several small boats that originally wanted to move forward immediately retreated dozens of meters, and the fan-shaped encirclement loosened instantly.
Zhou Shuwan walked over to Qi Mingyu and handed him a bottle of water: "Drink some water first. The fuel is only 30% full. It will take more than three hours."
After fighting for such a long time, everyone was very tired and thirsty.
But their crisis was not over.
Therefore, everyone took turns drinking a few sips of water to moisten their dry throats and lips, and then they all spread out around the deck cautiously, looking around to see what was happening.
Zhong Tiyun brought a few boxes of ammunition from the storage compartment and distributed them to everyone: "There are also a few sniper rifles in there. If they dare to get close, we can take direct aim."
This is their only weapon.
No one is willing to shoot again unless it is absolutely necessary!
"Mu Mu, keep an eye on the sea! If anything goes wrong, sound the alarm immediately!" Zhou Shuwan ordered.
Mu Mu's eyes were determined and he immediately responded "OK".
Seeing his men retreat, He Chengshi finally lost his previous arrogance. He leaned against the iron pillar and gasped for breath, but his eyes were still full of resentment.
Zhou Shuwan squatted down and looked at the wound on his abdomen: "If you behave yourself, we'll let you go after we fill up the gas tank. If you try to act tricky again, no one can protect you."
He Chengshi turned his face away and said nothing.
As time passed, the pointer on the fuel gauge slowly rose from 30% to 35%, and then to 40%.
The wind on the sea gradually died down, and the sun shone through the clouds, but no one dared to let down their guard.
Finally, after more than four hours, the fuel tank was finally full.
