Desperate

Cen Lu's eyes were full of viciousness that didn't match his face: "Don't be reckless!"

Zhou Pu was stunned, because in his opinion, Cen Lu's innocuous ruthlessness was almost announcing that he was worried about himself. His heart, which had been dead for a while, seemed to be injected with some vitality at this moment, and "pounded" again. jump up.

Zhou Pushen really wanted to ask Cen Lu if he was worried about him, but he didn't dare to ask, he was afraid that the answer in Cen Lu's heart was not what he wanted.

The commotion outside grew louder.The gunman's actions seemed to have alarmed the other crew members, and there was a faint noise approaching.

The shooter seemed distracted, let out an annoyed growl, and turned on the others at the door.

Zhou Pushen got up quickly, gently took out the body armor from the box under the bed and handed it to Cen Lu.Then I heard a loud noise from outside, followed by the man coughing heavily and the dull sound of falling to the ground.

Zhou Pushen settled Cen Lu, and rushed to the door like a nimble black cat. Looking out through the cat's eyes, he saw that the gunman outside seemed to have been subdued, leaving only a dark shadow struggling continuously. , the man who subdued him pressed tightly on the gunman.

The commotion gradually grew louder, and the fighting outside the door gradually changed from two people fighting to the hurried footsteps of many people. Zhou Pushen heard someone outside exclaiming: "Second Lieutenant Fang, what's going on?"

Then Cen Lu heard a calm and familiar voice reply: "There are a lot of people on this submarine who have gone crazy after unbearable long-term underwater operations. It's not surprising that there is one more of them."

Zhou Pushen realized that the crisis was over now, but he still didn't dare to open the door. It wasn't until Cen Lu signaled him to unscrew the handle with his eyes that he glanced out through the peephole, and then opened the door of the dormitory. .

Fangzheng's reaction was quick. He nodded at the two of them the moment the door opened, and then pointed his chin at the person on the ground: "Professor Cen, Second Lieutenant Zhou, I'm sorry. This guy has been on the boat for a long time. , my head is not clear. I didn’t notice, I was negligent.”

Cen Lu didn't answer, but just followed his gestures and looked over. The man prostrated on the ground seemed to have passed out, his two short and thick eyebrows were twisted on his face, and the tall man curled up in a ball at the door in a funny way. side.Cen Lu felt a little familiar with this appearance, he was clearly...

There were also some whispers in the crowd. Cen Lu looked towards the crowd and found a small man with a pale face trembling while looking at the person on the ground.

This person is clearly the one who bullied Hou Chunxie in the laundry room the day he first boarded the boat!

Such a person will go crazy because he can't stand underwater work...?

Cen Lu concealed his doubts, while Fangzheng over there was still eloquently explaining to the people around him: "Recently, the psychological counseling work on the boat has been done well, and this kind of thing hasn't happened in two or three months. Xiao Xia usually also A cheerful child, this caused our negligence in personnel management..."

Someone said, "The captain is here."

The crowd who heard this sentence separated automatically, and even in the narrow aisle in the boat, they gave way for a certain distance. Liu Zhihuan strode over from the crowd, seemingly in a hurry, only wearing a long trench coat over his pajamas.

The captain's face was stern, not at all the amiable look he had when he received Cen Lu and Zhou Pushen for the first time. He walked quickly to the side of the unconscious gunman, bent down and picked up the gun that Fang Zheng had kicked aside.Cen Lu squinted and saw that it was an M9 with uniform equipment, but it was slightly smaller than Zhou Pushen's.

Liu Zhihuan sullenly asked Fangzheng beside him, "Ah Zheng, when did it happen?"

Fangzheng immediately saluted and replied: "Report to the captain, it is estimated from eleven o'clock yesterday to early morning today." Then the saluting hand seemed to tremble a little, and Fangzheng lowered his head in shame: "Captain, it was me who was out of control and surprised the expert team." Negligence, please submit me to the court for judgment."

Liu Zhihuan raised his hand and waved it: "It's none of your business." Randomly asked the clerk standing behind Fangzheng: "Give him an anesthesia injection, file and report all the information about this person to the captain's room. Get ready to go up before noon. "

Everyone present couldn't help being stunned.Fangzheng's expression was even more shocking: "Captain, the ascent will deviate from the established route now! The launching operation of the expert team has not yet been completed."

Liu Zhihuan stared at him, paused for a long while without speaking.It wasn't until his throat rolled twice that he said: "'Hemera' is the hope of the empire... any potential danger cannot be tolerated on this submarine. Prepare to surface, I hope I won't say it a third time."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone became silent.Liu Zhihuan left in this suffocating silence.

Because of the commotion in the early morning, Cen Lu was a little sleep deprived.When he was changing his white coat, he couldn't stop yawning, causing Gao Fuqin to look sideways, and now he was standing in front of the laboratory bench feeling dizzy, with an inexplicable pain in his head.

Gao Fuqin really couldn't stand it anymore, he took the mouse from Cen Lu's hand and began to enter the data on his own, while asking him: "What happened in the morning is serious?"

Cen Lu glanced at him incredulously, and then thought of the feat of this person sleeping for three days without seeing the dragon's head and tail after boarding the boat, and suddenly felt that even if the submarine bombed, he would still be able to sleep as motionless as a mountain.

Gao Fuqin noticed Cen Lu's eyes, and suddenly became a little annoyed: "I'm used to sleeping with my head covered!"

You can't hear the gunshot even if you sleep with your head covered, Cen Lu thought depressingly, but he couldn't say this: "It is said that someone couldn't stand the environment here and lost his mind, and came to me with a gun. It's okay It was quickly subdued, and nothing major happened."

Gao Fuqin paused for a moment after hearing the explanation in a few words, and Cen Lu was quite surprised by what he said next: "Actually... I can probably understand this guy."

"I used to go on a mission with the department. Although it wasn't underwater, I also drifted on the sea with an ocean liner for half a year." Gao Fuqin said in a rigid voice, and the things in hand kept going: "At first I felt fresh, I feel that opening the hatch every day is the sea, what a great opportunity. But after a long time, I feel annoyed. Every day is the same scene, and I can’t figure out the east, west, north, south. If there is a storm, it will be even worse. It was dark for several days in a row, the morning and evening were reversed, and it was not clear when to eat or sleep all day long."

"As for the food, it's even worse. Vegetables and fruits are limited, and you can only eat them a few days before boarding the ship. Afterwards, there are canned meat and compressed biscuits all day long. Later, I couldn't help retching when I smelled that smell. "

Cen Lu blinked, and felt a little touched after hearing these words.

"We encountered a storm and temporarily lost contact with the mainland. I was young and energetic at the time, and felt that the daily work was so hard, and I didn't know if I would have the opportunity to make these researches public again, so I shut myself up In the cabin, no one cares." Gao Fuqin pushed his glasses and hit the enter key.

"Later, he was an old senior in the team. He came to my door every day to call me, and talked to me as a bastard when he was free. He didn't get angry when I was yelled at, and he still persuaded me with a smile. That's how I lost my mind. Pull it back. If it weren't for him, I would probably be the one who went crazy." At this point, Cen Lu saw a little emotion on the face of the deputy who did not change his face before the collapse of Mount Tai.

"That senior, he later..." Cen Lu was a little curious.

"Dead." Gao Fuqin quickly recovered his indifferent expression. He closed the computer very skillfully, then turned around and continued to make slices, as if the story he just told was just a fantasy that had nothing to do with him .

Cen Lu closed his mouth in astonishment, and then felt relieved in a sad way.

People like them, people with good intentions like them, often don't end well.

"Xiao Gao..." Cen Lu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but saw a black shadow flashing across the glass window of the laboratory.

The shadow flickered extremely fast, as if eyes were installed in the laboratory, and disappeared as soon as it sensed Cen Lu's eyes.

Cen Lu closed his mouth, and quietly clenched his hands into fists. He whispered to Gao Fuqin, "Xiao Gao, does the password of our laboratory change every few days?"

"Huh?" Gao Fuqin, who was busy with the experiment, didn't realize it for a while: "It seems to be once every two days."

"Starting today, change it to every three hours, even at night. You and I will take turns on duty every day."

"This is too troublesome..." Gao Fu Qin Gang wanted to complain, but closed his mouth amidst Cen Lu's serious face.

"Xiao Gao, we won't be able to stay on this boat for long. For the next two weeks, it won't hurt to be cautious." Cen Lu warned seriously.

Gao Fuqin could only nod his head.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and said: "Speaking of this, when I passed by the cafeteria today, I heard that grumpy old man shouting something aggressively."

"What did he say?" Cen Lu was a little alert.

"I didn't hear it very clearly. It seemed to be shouting 'I knew he was a traitor!' 'Your captain is a piece of trash!'" Gao Fuqin shook his head, "Even if the captain is his son, this The old man also doesn't understand the rules, his son is the superior in the workplace, how can he be so indiscriminate between public and private!"

Cen Lu frowned even tighter: "Did you hear him calling someone a traitor?"

"No." Gao Fuqin shook his head honestly, "At that time, he seemed to be pulled out by two guards. After he was caught, his mouth seemed to be covered and he was silent. I was far away and didn't listen too much. clear."

"I see." Cen Lu nodded, "These things on the boat have nothing to do with us, we should do our own thing." Even though he said this, Cen Lu felt that the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.

As Liu Zhihuan said, "Hemera" is the secret of the empire, and it is a very heavy bargaining chip in the hands of the empire, but this matter may not be hidden as the empire wishes.

Cen Lu glanced at the draft paper in his hand, and secretly decided to bring all the materials back to the dormitory today.
