Blackstone Code

Strictly speaking, it is already the third day since the ship departed. The cruise ship has turned a corner and entered the Upper Channel.

Although it is said to be a strait, in fact, if you look back and forth in two opposite directions, you will never see any coastline, only endless sea water.

The situation on the ship is still so bad, and no new enemies have been found so far. Yesterday, they sent back the information of most people on the ship for verification, but today when the agreed time came, there was no movement on the land.

At first, they thought it was because the company had not yet produced results. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement.

When they tried to contact the land, they discovered that the telegraph machine was broken.

There were only two telegraph machines on the entire ship, and both were broken.

This kind of thing is simply not within the scope of their response!

"It must have been broken last night. The girl on duty last night has disappeared. She may have been hiding."

The one who spoke was the first mate, the foul-mouthed guy who exposed himself because he lost money and was killed by him.

His face also looked very ugly. He scanned it several times, and just when everyone thought they might be a little sensitive, the infiltrators slapped them.

"Now we don't have many options."

The first mate looked at the captain. In fact, the best way at this time is to thoroughly check all the crew members after docking.

Just find any reason, such as overhauling the ship, refueling, replenishing supplies, whatever, and this is the best choice at the moment.

But the captain still didn't speak, his face was gloomy, and the pipe in his mouth and his beard were shaking at the same frequency.

The other core crew members turned to the first mate for help. The atmosphere on the ship was so tense, and they were not relaxed either. They were also under great pressure.

It would be obviously much better if we could dock now.

When the first mate was about to say something, the captain finally spoke again.

"There's no way we're going to land."

He first rejected the possibility of such a proposal, and then explained the situation, "Yesterday, when there was no problem with the telegram, the chairman told me that someone in Bupen was doing short selling all the time."

"He suspects that these people who are eyeing us are in the same group as the people who are shorting Bupen every moment. Their purpose may not be entirely robbery, but may be to create news."

"Once we dock, the company's stock will plummet, and you know exactly what kind of person the chairman is."

"Before we ended the communication yesterday, the chairman said that he would arrange for some people to come over to help us. We just need to hold on until Marillo."

When the captain said this, he forced an unsightly smile on his face, "What we really need to do now, besides finding those bastards who are hiding, is to speed up."

"The originally planned fifteen-day sailing time will now be reduced by half."

It is impossible to hide the news that someone is opening a short position in Bupen at any time. Large-scale opening of positions must require the cooperation of the exchange. After the traders of the exchange get the news, they have no obligation to keep it secret. They will leak it, and then everyone will know. .

Moreover, even if such an obvious thing as short selling is not disclosed, people will find out.

This just makes the board of directors become suspicious every moment, and they have to connect the short-selling forces of Bupen with the current situation on the cruise ship.

Fortunately, a cruise ship is a cruise ship after all, not that kind of speedboat. You can climb on it with your hands. As long as the people inside don't create some flaws, no one can climb on it while it is sailing.

The way to deal with it is to speed up the voyage and defend tightly.

The first mate nodded after listening, indicating that he would comply with the board of directors' decision.

The chairman's brother is the big warlord behind everything. These brothers are not honest people. The number of humans they have killed directly or indirectly exceeds five or even six figures.

Disobey the chairman's orders?

I'm afraid my life will be lost as soon as I get off the boat.

Seeing that there were no other objections, the captain sighed slightly.

He took the pipe out of his mouth and held it in his hand, "I know everyone is under a lot of pressure now, but it doesn't matter. We will arrive in Marillo in five days at most, and people have been sent to greet us."

"Maybe in three or four days they will arrive and we will be safe by then."

The first mate nodded and asked, "What about the police boat behind?"

The captain said without any hesitation, "Get rid of them. No one can believe it at this time."

It is not easy for people to detect the accelerated sailing of a cruise ship. In the absence of reference objects, no one knows whether the cruise ship is sailing faster or slower at this moment than before.

Aside from a slight bump at first, people quickly get used to the speed.

The strange atmosphere on the ship gradually affected other people, and some of the guests seemed to be asking if something had happened. Some guests who were aware of the problem no longer left their cabins casually.

In fact, this is the best thing to do. If it weren't for the unusual status of these people, whether they were rich or powerful, the captain would really want to have them locked up in the room.

At least this way it will be easier to distinguish who is one of our own and who is the enemy.

At night, people who had been nervous all day locked their doors and fell into rest. The captain stayed up until after one o'clock and finally couldn't help but go to bed.

There was a man on duty in the captain's cabin.

In the second half of the night, around three o'clock, the crew member who had slept for a while suddenly opened his eyes. He stood up and walked to the steering wheel. He naturally grabbed it from the hand of another crew member. off the steering wheel.

"I've slept well, you go and take a rest.", he said with a smile.

The other crew member didn't think much. He nodded and yawned and walked to the hammock next to him, and quickly fell into sleep.

The cruise ship, which was moving rapidly, began to gradually deviate from the channel.

On the fourth day, or the fifth day to be precise, the atmosphere among the crew on the ship was a little better, which made some people secretly relieved.

If nothing goes wrong, this will become people's random imagination.

But once something goes wrong, it's the end of every moment.

Everyone is betting.

The journey that was supposed to be full of laughter suddenly became less interesting, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the future verdict.

On the fifth day, nothing happened.

On the sixth day, a problem arose.

"We are not on the intended course."

In the captain's cabin, the captain looked ugly and communicated this issue with the first mate alone, "I don't know who tampered with it. We have deviated from the original route. I'm not sure how far we have deviated."

The first mate frowned, "What should we do now?"

The captain's expression was serious. After a while, he said, "I have adjusted some plans. We will continue sailing due north. I hope we will not deviate so much..."

At the same time, after three days and three nights of travel, the sergeant led two members of the action team through the entire waist and abdomen of the Federation, from the east coast to the west coast.

Instead of blindly chasing the moving cruise ship, he arrived at a supply point on the cruise ship's itinerary ahead of schedule.

No matter what happens on the cruise ship, it always needs supplies, and as long as it supplies, it has to come here.

The sergeant rented two speedboats and everyone was ready to go.

"They will arrive here at the earliest in the afternoon and no later than tomorrow. They will be ready to fight at any time. Do you understand?"

The sergeant felt particularly comfortable after taking off his formal uniform and putting on combat equipment again. This is the fucking life!

He thought so, seeing the young men full of energy, and his own face full of smiles.

But this wait was a whole day in vain.

They didn't wait for the luxury cruise at any time until noon the next day.

It was a luxury cruise ship, not a small yacht, and it could still be missed. It was like a capitol floating on the sea, and it was impossible to miss it.

And this also made the sergeant and soldiers realize that the boat was missing!

The news was quickly sent to the desk of Mr. Trueman, who was the "Mr. T" mentioned by Lynch. He was quite surprised when he learned that the cruise ship was missing.

He asked the coast guard, who soon told Mr. Trueman that the cruise ship suddenly accelerated a few days ago and headed to the open sea at night.

Coast Guard boats are all speedboats, so there is no big problem within the continental shelf. Once they leave the offshore sea, they are in danger of capsizing in the open sea.

Considering safety concerns, they did not follow up, but they did not report the news to higher-level departments.

Which way people choose to go, how to go, and how fast to go is their own wish. The coast guard is just showing their respect for the rich, and they don't really want to be so dedicated.

This has also led to the fact that such important news has not been disclosed until now. In other words, the cruise ship may no longer be in the sea areas on its itinerary.

This is troublesome!

The sergeant felt paralyzed after hearing the news. If something happened to Lynch, many things would become out of control.

As the first beneficiary of the Lynch Group, he immediately began to contact all parties to find ways to find Lynch.

At this time, a young coast guard who was scolded by his superior made a drunken call to a reporter.

The Coast Guard often catches smuggling and illegal immigrants, and their relationship with the media is pretty good. Sometimes they can supplement their family income by selling some news materials.

His boss deducted his bonus and suspended him for a period of time because he failed to report in time the news that the cruise ship was speeding away to the sea. This angered him.

Not long after, a reporter came to the bar. After paying the bar fee for the little coast guard, he bought this shocking news from the little coast guard for 500 yuan.

The next day, the news appeared on the front page of the Federal Times.

"Hundreds of rich people have disappeared at sea, and they may be responsible for it every moment!" 》
