Desperate

Zhou Pushen was wearing a white protective suit that covered his whole body from head to toe.He took a deep breath and sprayed the mist on the transparent gas mask.Liu Zhihuan, who was also in the same attire beside him, nodded at him, and forcefully opened the door of the auxiliary cabin.

All of a sudden, a heat wave hit the face. In order to prevent the explosion, the two had pulled off the electric valve of the auxiliary cabin beforehand, but there was still a little red light reflected on the wall in the depth of the auxiliary cabin.Zhou Pushen lit up the military flashlight, and walked forward with Liu Zhihuan bent over with the equipment bag on his back.

The white light of the flashlight made the surroundings pale white, and the auxiliary cabin, which no one has cared about since today, looks gloomy.Even though Zhou Pushen was wearing a thick protective suit, he could feel the heat constantly enveloping him, so he stepped up his speed. The flashlight illuminated one pipe after another, but he couldn't find the broken one.

Liu Zhihuan became a little impatient, and raised his hand to look at his watch. The protective clothing they were wearing now could not completely prevent radiation and poisonous gas, it could only be regarded as a little psychological comfort.The longer you spend in the auxiliary cabin, the more dangerous it becomes.

Zhou Pu looked at him with deep and quiet black eyes, and shook his head slightly.Then he turned his face and searched again. Since there was a red light flashing, he must be able to find the problematic node.

In front of him is Cen Lu's laboratory.

A gentle color flashed in Zhou Pu's deep eyes, and he touched the plastic test bench lightly with his gloved hand. He knew that Cen Lu had worked here non-stop, just to get a set of correct data.

Why did Fang Zheng place the bomb in the auxiliary cabin?

Zhou Pu glanced at Liu Zhihuan with a complicated look.If Fangzheng really wants to kill "Hemera", he can tie a plastic bomb in the reactor compartment. Once the blood and silver pile explodes, everyone on the submarine will undoubtedly die.

Zhou Pu deeply thought of Fangzheng's gun, which was aimed at Liu Zhihuan but never pulled the safety catch.

Sighing, he heard Liu Zhihuan's voice with a slight smile: "I found it." Zhou Pu heard the words and looked around. Sure enough, behind the safe that had been emptied in the laboratory, the scorched pipe was suddenly broken in two.

The closer Zhou Pushen got, the more he could smell a pungent smell, which irritated his throat sweetly. He closed his eyes, forcefully forced the Lingtai to be clearer, squatted down and began to rummage through the equipment bag: " let's start."

Liu Zhihuan looked at him for a while, then knelt down and took out the spare pipe: "Do you know how to fix it?"

"Of course," Zhou Pushen smiled softly, "Have you forgotten that I am a soldier under Lieutenant Colonel Dou?"

"Yes," Liu Zhihuan raised the corner of his mouth for the first time today when he mentioned Dou Huaiye, "This woman is bloody, and so are the soldiers under her hands."

This is a blatant compliment.Zhou Pushen has never been good at dealing with these things, so he can only work silently.

Liu Zhihuan watched Zhou Pushen's dexterous fingers flying up and down, and suddenly remembered that when he and Fang Zheng were on a mission together, the two offended the squad leader and were arranged to dismantle the bomb in the rear.Fangzheng also had a serious appearance, turning a deaf ear to his own jokes, only capable with his hands.

But then... how did it become like this?

Liu Zhihuan stopped his working hand, only feeling blood gushing from his chest, he subconsciously reached out to wipe it off, but he could only touch the glass mask.

Liu Zhihuan suddenly realized that he had a nosebleed.

Over there, Zhou Pushen didn't know it, but he was submerged in quickly connecting the pipes while enduring the surging nausea. Those complicated and delicate things seemed to have life in his hands, and they spontaneously moved little by little. Connect to a long line.

Liu Zhihuan glanced at him, and suddenly muttered: "It's almost there."

Hearing this, Zhou Pu raised his head: "What?" He was suddenly slashed hard on the back of the head by a hand knife.

Zhou Pushen was totally unprepared, he took the blow abruptly, and Dang even fell to the ground, half of his body was so numb that he couldn't move.

"What are you doing..." Zhou Pu struggled to speak.

But the other party didn't give him a chance to say more, he carried him on his shoulder like rice and walked out of the auxiliary cabin.

Zhou Pushen was mercilessly thrown on the floor of the main cabin, his internal organs hurting from the impact.Liu Zhihuan stood in front of him, looking down at him: "You brat, your mission is over."

"..." Zhou Pushen struggled on the ground, but his tongue seemed to be tied and he couldn't make a sound.

Liu Zhihuan suddenly smiled, with relief after struggling for a long time in that smile: "I killed 'Hemera', and I should make amends to her. But you did nothing wrong, you can't do it."

"Besides," Liu Zhihuan took a deep breath, "someone is waiting for you."

But for me, no one is waiting anymore.

Liu Zhihuan didn't say any more, when he turned around, the robes of his protective clothing flew up, and he walked towards the pitch-black hatch with arrogance, like a soldier fighting for glory.

Liu Zhihuan locked the hatch.

The poisonous gas he inhaled just now was slowly eating away at his central nervous system, Zhou Pushen felt that his mind was getting more and more chaotic, even though his rationality forced him to shout: "Brigadier General!", his limbs did not obey anyway.

Zhou Pu fainted.

Cen Lu stood on the deck blown by the sea breeze, lying on the wet railing, looking at the sunset in the distance.

The blood-red sunset was half submerged by the purple/black/sea horizon, and the only afterglow left behind dyed the sunset in the sky blood red.The dense cloud of scales is like the armor of Taotie, and the ugly monster hides behind the clouds, waiting to open its bloody mouth to devour everything at any time.

The "Hemera" carried 20 crew members, plus three non-staff members. During this rebellion, half of them became addicted to drugs. More than a dozen people were missing and nearly [-] people died, including this huge underwater ghost ship. The captain of the ship finally locked himself in the auxiliary cabin full of poisonous gas with his whole body congested.

"Hemera" is no longer the pride of the empire, but the shame of the blood-stained empire.

Cen Lu remembered Liu Cunji's words. The old man spent his whole life on the battlefield, but finally died in the depths of the sea in such a shameful way. His only wish was that his son who insisted on going his own way could have a whole body.

Cen Lu doesn't know how to smoke, but at this moment he suddenly had the idea of ​​puffing up the clouds, but before he could take action, he was stopped behind his back.

"Professor Cen? Aren't you going in?" It was Meng Kansong, a sunny young man who looked a little tired at the moment, with an unshaven beard and a black gauze pinned to his left arm.

Cen Lu didn't ask who he was paying homage to. Whether it was Hou Chunxie or Liu Zhihuan, they were all judged by the military police as "persons awaiting review." Changed the subject and asked him: "You also came to see Brother Shen?"

Seeing that Cen Lu didn't press him, Meng Song relaxed a little: "Yes, Professor Cen too? Why don't you go in?"

Cen Lu avoided Meng Kansong's gaze in embarrassment, and did not answer his question directly: "The doctor came out just now and said that he was in stress shock and did not inhale much harmful gas. He should wake up after a while... ...Oh, and it was said that the head was suspected to have been hit, and we need to observe whether there is a concussion."

He babbled a lot, but avoided talking about the central issue.Meng Wangsong quickly guessed that the two should have quarreled again, and he felt a little unworthy of Zhou Pu, so his tone became serious: "Have you seen the instructor?"

Cen Lu stopped talking, put his hands on the guardrail a little discouraged, his fair face was dyed red by the setting sun: "I... I don't know what to say to him."

Meng Kansong looked at him bitterly, emphasizing every word: "He is willing to listen to whatever you say."

"Really?" The light in Cen Lu's eyes lit up for a moment, but then quickly went out, "He's probably angry with me, it's my fault."

Meng Kansong hated the man's hesitation and coercion the most, and persuaded him in a rough voice: "Why is a big man angry or not? If you are afraid, just ask him face to face!"

Cen Lu looked at the blushing and thick-necked Meng Kansong in surprise. He didn't understand why he was so excited, so he asked tentatively, "Brother Shen used to be your instructor, right? You... do you know him well?"

He didn't know about Zhou Pushen's past, and Zhou Pushen never mentioned it, maybe he could find a breakthrough from this person.

Meng Kansong put his hands on his hips, and said "hmm" with a tigerish face.

Cen Lu leaned his back on the guardrail, thinking about how to get the most information out of this person's mouth. Based on his understanding of Meng Kansong, this kid likes straight people, and he always holds back when he treats people who are crooked. A puff.That being the case, he might as well hit a straight ball and ask directly what he wants.

Cen Lu took a deep breath, and the air with the smell of seawater was poured into his lungs, slightly suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

Cen Lu's face seemed to have been painted with red paint, from the base of his neck to the top of his head, he asked Meng Wangsong: "Do you know... um... Did Brother Shen ever have a... er... girl you like?" ?”

Meng Kansong tried his best to understand the meaning of the other party: "You mean, did Second Lieutenant Zhou have a date with someone?"

That's what Cen Lu meant, but now even if he pressed a knife against his aorta, he still refused to admit that he was asking this, so he just stared at Meng Wangsong.

Meng Kansong couldn't stand being stared at by him: "No."

Cen Lu got an unexpected answer, and his hand that was gripping the railing suddenly loosened. He was a little bit unbelievable while secretly delighted, and he asked, "Really not? Is there not a single girl?"

Seeing the other party's eagerness, Meng Wangsong suddenly became emotional, and said to himself that the second lieutenant is not at all useless.

Although it's a bit immoral to casually expose someone else's sexual orientation, but it shouldn't matter if the other party is Cen Lu.Meng Wangsong made up his mind, and said straight away: "The little girl doesn't have one, but the guy...maybe...there is one."

Cen Lu's eyes widened, and Meng Kansong's heart skipped a beat. He felt that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly waved his hands to smooth things over for Zhou Pushen: "Ah, I didn't mean that the instructor only likes men, he just...just... only likes men." That man... is not right..."

Cen Lu couldn't hear what he was saying, the sea breeze was whistling in his ears, filling his eardrums, and he felt his heart aching sweetly and sourly as if being blown up by someone: "Who is it? "

Meng Wangsong really hated him to death, he couldn't help rushing into the cabin to dig out Zhou Pu's deep heart now, and show Cen Lu who is there besides you. The word "It's you" hovered on the tip of his tongue, but Meng Wangsong suddenly decided to swallow it, what the hell was he doing, if he confessed on behalf of the instructor, the instructor would definitely put him in a pig cage later.

But even so, Meng Wangsong decided to tap Cen Lu from the side to prevent him from thinking wildly: "I don't know. I only know that the instructor saw him when he was very young. He taught the instructor to read and write. He taught him how to read and write. He worshiped like a god."

Cen Lu was stunned, he felt that the inflated balloon in his heart burst suddenly.

Seeing that Cen Lu was stunned, Meng Wangsong thought that this trick was useful, and added embellishment: "When the instructor was teaching us gymnastics at the military academy, he didn't hesitate to risk getting caught by the military police just because he heard a little bit about that man. The risk of impeachment also went to him, but he was caught and beaten up." Meng Wangsong exaggerated his expression, "his ass was beaten!"

"That person... so nice?" Cen Lu asked him in a hoarse voice, the sour taste in his heart almost overflowing uncontrollably.

"For the instructor, he is the best one." Meng Kansong answered him seriously, while secretly observing his reaction.

The setting sun had completely sunk into the sea level, and the moisture from the sea breeze soaked through the coolness of the night, making Cen Lu's eyes hurt. He closed his eyes and tried not to lose his composure: "I see. Go and see Him."

Meng Wangsong felt that the other party's reaction was very strange, but seeing Cen Lu's unapproachable appearance, he couldn't say anything more, so he ducked into the cabin, leaving Cen Lu alone on the deck.

The young professor took a deep breath and let go of his tightly clenched fists. A row of deep nail marks had already been left on his white palms.Cen Lu only felt that his usual good self-control was no longer working, and his heart was full of jealousy and resentment towards the person Meng Kansong mentioned.

Cen Lu opened his eyes, and smiled self-deprecatingly. He never imagined that after reading half his life, he would still be jealous over a man. It can be seen that those sage books have been read into the dog's stomach.He stood on the deck again, thousands of thoughts were constantly turning in his mind, and his internal organs seemed to be struggling and suffering in a raging fire.

No matter who Zhou Pu likes deeply.

It doesn't matter if he/mother/ himself is fighting for love.

In any case, Zhou Pu is a deep person, he will not let go.

A burst of mobile phone ringing interrupted his thoughts, and Cen Lu realized that the lights of Wanjia on the border of the empire were close at hand.

He pressed the call button—"Professor Cen, Lingtang... passed away in the early hours of this morning."
