Chapter 245
Li Mu added the man named Shen Li and chatted for a few words. Unexpectedly, he actually made other discoveries. It turned out that Shen Li's fleet, which had never encountered the pirate island yesterday, also encountered an island.
Their firepower was not that strong, so they did not choose to go head-on like Qiao Sheng and his team. Instead, they used a roundabout method to arrange a ship to attract the pirates' attention in one direction, and another small floating board carrying Shen Li and two other team members to sneak close to the island from the other side.
The purpose of the three people going ashore was also very clear, which was to poison the pirates' drinking water and food. This method was the best way for them to reduce casualties. Except for the three people who were infiltrating Shen Li, who were more dangerous and needed to go deep into the tiger's den, the other team members could just turn around and run away if the situation was not good.
Of course, lurking in has its advantages. For example, Shen Li accidentally discovered something unusual this time, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. He successfully poisoned hundreds of pirates on the island and left after collecting supplies.
Today, I just had time and wanted to take the pirate base flag to the trading system to exchange for canned food, so I let the team members who like to browse the world channel come and see the excitement. The reward of 100 canned food is really too attractive.
【At that time, I remembered what I overheard when I was lurking. It should be the house of the leader of the pirate island. We hid outside the wooden house and heard some tapping sounds inside. However, because the windowsill was too high, we didn't look into the house for fear of being exposed. Later, after poisoning the pirates to death, we looted all the supplies on the island. Look at this big piece of iron. Originally, I wanted to take it back and smash it to see if it could be used as an iron product. Fortunately, I didn't smash it.】
Shen Li also sent an iron box with the letter. Li Mu took it out and put it on the bamboo table. When he opened it, he saw a radio. Even Li Mu, who has a lot of theoretical knowledge, said he didn't know much about this thing.
They only knew that they had to be on the same frequency to receive messages via radio, and they also needed a secret book. They searched the iron box but couldn't find the secret book.
When Li Mu sent a can of food as a reward to Shen Li, he also asked if he had seen the secret book. The reply he got was that he hadn't found it. They also searched through all the recovered materials, but couldn't find any paper with words on it.
"Forget it, even if we get the secret book, we don't know the channel the pirates use to communicate. Even if we know it, what's the point of contacting them? Are we going to let them gather together and let us catch them all in one fell swoop? Take it slow. Even if they have communication tools, they can only inform each other at most. They can't do much. The sea is so big, they can't even provide support." Qiao Sheng was very open-minded.
"Let it be. You're right. I also felt that we encountered too few pirate islands before. There are 999 pirate islands. We have to rely on cleaning up the scattered pirate ships one by one. It's tiring and the progress is slow. If we can get into the pirates, we will have a chance to get the coordinates of the pirate islands." After Li Mu finished speaking, the others knew his thoughts.
No wonder he always wanted to know how the pirates communicated.
Since it was impossible to get into the pirates by radio in a short time, now we can only take one step at a time and take it slowly. Although he had given up, Li Mu still changed the mission on the world channel.
The pirates' communication tool was changed to a secret book, and the reward was reduced by half to 50 cans. The other players on the world channel were shocked. After all, the communication tool mission was completed by other players not long after it was released. He was also a hidden boss.
Although the old mission was completed, new missions were issued, and everyone was still very enthusiastic.
Li Mu also reminded everyone that the order had been posted to the trading system and would remain pending until someone completed it.
After finishing all this, Qiao Sheng and his friends returned to their ordinary but busy life at sea.
The four of them still work in shifts of two or two. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu are responsible for the night, Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang are responsible for the day. It is estimated that the pirates have spread the word that their ship has destroyed a pirate island.
So they really never stopped, almost as soon as they cleared the last wave of pirate ships, the next one would follow. Qiao Sheng and Lin Haiyang, who always played games, complained that this was just like spawning monsters in the same place, the difference was that there were no surprises on the pirate ships, all of them were regular supplies.
Of course, sometimes they would be summoned beasts, summoned by Pei Hong, and they would not encounter islands, while Pei Hong would encounter them almost every other day.
However, it took a lot of time to wait for Qiao Sheng and the others to catch up, so they finally came up with a plan.
Every time he encountered an island, Pei Hong would first go around the island from a distance. If the island was not big, he would lead the team to rush over, fight hard, take away all the pirates, capture the base camp flag, and end the battle.
If the island was big, he would not go up and do it. He would write down the coordinates of the pirate island and then send it to Li Mu, waiting for support.
In order not to waste time, his fleet would not stay in place for long, but continue to drift with the wind. Basically, after clearing the next island, the time to rush back to the original coordinates was just enough for Li Mu and his team to come to support.
Of course, there might be two consecutive large islands. In this case, he would record the coordinates of the two islands, and then return to the coordinates reported to Li Mu to wait, and then solve them one by one when they arrived.
This method is actually quite convenient. If you wait in the same place every time, you will waste a lot of time.
During this period, we did encounter some tough guys. The pirate island is large and there are many pirates inside. When Qiao Sheng and his team arrived, Pei Hong's fleet was still on the way. It
was far away from the island. Qiao Sheng and his team first observed it for a while, then started the driving equipment and circled the island. The island has forests on two sides, a mountain on one side, and trees on both sides on the other side. There is a wide road in the middle, which should be reserved for these pirates to enter and exit.
After waiting for a long time, the late Pei Hong fleet finally arrived. The news they brought was that they had captured this island, and there was another one. The coordinates of that island were also recorded, and they had to rely on the firepower of Qiao Sheng's ship to suppress it.
Then he talked about the plan he had studied with the crew in the past few days. This time they would attack from three directions. The front position was mainly to attract firepower. When the time came, two ships would be left here to attack from a distance.
Pei Hong and his team finally gathered enough supplies a while ago. They asked Li Mu to make a cannon and exchanged a lot of ammunition with him for other supplies, which could be used now.
All the remaining people were divided into two directions and entered the island from the woods on both sides.
"Brother Li, we have to occupy the island as quickly as possible. You know, I only have a few shells. It will hurt if I use too much. You know how stingy your brother Pei is." Pei Hong laughed at himself. He was indeed a big mouth with a big business.
The game has been upgraded, and food collection has become a problem. They have planted a lot, but they can't let all the combat team members manage the planting pots and fight at the same time. They can only let the old and young in the logistics department plant every day.
It is said that Grandma Chu is now on time to harvest crops, and even so, the food is just enough to eat, not to mention that they have many ships, and repairing ships is also a big expense.
Fighting to support the war is an idea, but when it is actually put into practice, they will find that they have to catch up with the rich pirate islands so that they can collect more food and supplies.
But there are still some pirates who become pirates because of poverty. On that island, there is really nothing except trees. Fortunately, they can exchange some canned food with Li Mu for the base camp flag.
So the life now can't be said to be very good, but it's not too bad. The reason why they are so determined to find the pirate island is also very simple, that is, they want to go home and miss their families.
Qiao Sheng and his team also agreed to the plan given by Pei Hong. When they were divided into directions, four of them went in one direction, and Pei Hong led the remaining team members in another direction.
Although they were few in number, they had enough fighting power, so the distribution of supplies was 40% to 60%. Pei Hong took the lion's share, and the pirate island flag belonged to Qiao Sheng and his team, but they would pay Pei Hong half of the canned food that was normally exchanged.
This was all agreed upon by both parties, but this time Li Mu gave Pei Hong and his team some extra ammunition. Usually, they were responsible for attracting firepower, and they knew roughly the number of shells used. If they were not given some extra supplies, it would be a bit stressful for Pei Hong and his team.
After the discussion, the two sides separated, and Qiao Sheng and his team drove their boats in the direction assigned to them.
When they arrived at the destination, they were not in a hurry to approach the island. Li Mu first sent an email to Pei Hong, saying that he had already arrived. After waiting for a while, he received an email from Pei Hong, saying that he had also arrived at the destination, and asked Li Mu to wait a little while after hearing the explosion before going to the island.
The agreed explosion sounded soon, and Qiao Sheng and his team waited on the boat for five minutes before bringing the boat closer to the shore.
The whole family went to the island, except for Diudiu who was too small and had to be careful not to step on him. The rest of the family went together, with the cassock cub leading his two generals, Xinxin and Baba, walking in the front.
In order to show how strong they were, the three conspicuous ones pulled out the trees in front of them, which they could have bypassed, and threw them at Lin Haiyang's feet. The latter was like a nanny, jogging along to pick them up.
"Will our noise be too loud? We are obviously going to sneak in, and these conspicuous ones are afraid that others will not know that we have landed." Qiao Sheng sighed. He really couldn't say anything about the people and animals collecting trees in front.
This tree is also a material resource, there is nothing wrong with putting it away, but this job should not be done after the war, it must be done while walking.
"Forget it, Sister Qiao, these guys just can't sit still, let them torment themselves, anyway, we will fight when we meet, sneaking in is not suitable for us, and sometimes being too strong in combat is also a burden." Xia Beibei said and shrugged helplessly.
Ah Dai even took the little eagle to fly far away to explore the terrain. They had such a big commotion here, but they didn't encounter a pirate for a long time. Instead, Pei Hong was the first to encounter the patrolling pirates.
I don't know what this person is thinking. When he met the pirates, his first reaction was not to fight, but to send an email to Li Mu to report the news.
Knowing that they had encountered patrolling pirates and were ready to fight, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu also hurriedly reminded Lin Haiyang and Jiashazi and the others to be careful when moving forward, as the pirates in front were simply concentrating on playing and not paying attention to the surrounding situation at all.
