Chapter 226: Time is Running Out
When Li Ran came to the West Coast dock, he found the location of the private yacht, got on the boat to check the oil situation, then thought about it, entered the string of codes, and after a while, the emotionless voice of Pachino Fortress came from the opposite end:
"How's it going? Have you thought about it? Come or don't come?"
"I'll be on a private yacht, can you tell me the route now?"
"Very good, 656 nautical miles straight northwest of the east coast. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Northwest?" Li Ran was dumbfounded, isn't the enemy in the northeast?
"That's right, time is running out. ā
The other side said a word so inexplicably, and then hung up.
Li Ran gritted his teeth, he really wanted to inform Helena and them, but after thinking about the other party's methods, he dispelled this idea.
After starting the private yacht, Li Ran forced himself to calm down, first drove along the coast to the eastern coast, and looked at the radar on the yacht, although it was not as good as the ship's outfit, but it was not bad.
Li Ran took a deep breath and headed in the direction of the other party's driving, along the way, it was very smooth, and he didn't meet anyone at all.
"It's so quiet. ā
Li Ran was driving the yacht, except for the sound of the waves, he couldn't hear any other sounds in his ears, and he couldn't meet anyone, he felt like he was banished to the outside world.
However, it is a strange feeling, the sea breeze, the sound of the waves, as if you are still on the earth.
Li Ran thought so, looking at the distance indicated on the radar, 656 nautical miles had gradually shortened, and when he arrived at the target sea area, Li Ran couldn't see anyone, a vast and boundless sea, dotted with starlight, Li Ran sighed, he was completely passive this time.
Li Ran turned off the engine, dropped the anchor, and left the wheelhouse.
It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, he was now drenched in sweat, and he didn't know if he had missed the agreed time with the other party, so he walked to the deck with some trepidation.
"You're more punctual than I thought. ā
Such an ethereal voice echoed around Li Ran, but he couldn't see any figures.
"Where are you?" Li Ran said as he forced himself to calm down.
"I'm everywhere. The voice revealed a hint of mischievousness, and then Li Ran looked back and found that someone had appeared on the top deck of his private yacht.
The moon was in the sky, the starry sky was shining, and the person sat there quietly, her long snow-white hair was blown up by the sea breeze, revealing her face, which was so beautiful that it was suffocating, and her light blue eyes were extremely deep, revealing a sadness that Li Ran didn't understand at all.
Li Ran was a little dumbfounded, but now is not the time to think about this, the focus is on how this guy appeared, as if he appeared out of thin air, the yacht's radar didn't find it at all, could it be a ghost?
"It's the same disgusting look as ever. With that, the girl jumped down, and then walked in front of Li Ran step by step.
The other party was so calm, beyond Li Ran's expectations, he didn't feel murderous at all, and he didn't even get angry.
Li Ran swallowed his saliva nervously, he didn't know what to say at all, as if everything about himself was completely perceived by the other party, and his body was extremely stiff, obviously the other side walked over so quietly, but ......
"It's so good, it's good that you can come back, Li Ran. ā
"You know me. Li Ran felt that strange feeling disappear, and it seemed that after a century, his speech had become sharper.
Who the hell is this guy?
"Of course, after a year of absence, your shipwrecks have sunk, but you have no memory at all, no, if Helena is still alive, it proves that your shipwrecks are not all sunk. ā
"Do you know Helena?" Li Ran trembled all over his body, what does this guy know? What has happened in this world after a year?
"Of course, intelligence experts, I really miss it, if it weren't for her, I really thought they did everything, but I didn't expect them to be so useless. ā
"Wait, what the hell are you talking about?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. ā
Pachino Fortress said this, and then saw that Li Ran didn't seem to be lying, she sighed:
"Forget it, it's okay if you can't think of it, anyway, Darling, time is running out. ā
As he spoke, Pachino Fortress looked up at the sky, as if looking at something.
Li Ran felt that he was completely controlled by the other party, which made him creepy, so he swallowed his saliva, and then asked:
"Pachino Fortress - Pachina?
"Names? ā
Li Ran was a little helpless, he couldn't figure out why the other party was so mysterious and called himself over, did he just want to say this, no, this is too wrong.
Thinking of the ship girls who were still fighting fiercely in the deep sea, his tone also became cold, no matter who the other party was, at least it would not be his own person, so he said coldly:
"You're from the deep sea, aren't you?"
"Deep sea, I used to think so. ā
"Are you the ship's mother?"
"Ship mother?hahaha...... What are you kidding, how can I be that kind of guy, that kind of guy......"
Pachino Fortress seemed to realize that he was a little out of shape, and halfway through his words, he calmed down again, and then said inexplicably:
"The unknown is the most terrifying thing, Darling, beware of the unknown. ā
"Unknown person, what the hell do you mean?" Li Ran roared, and then grabbed the other party's hand, only to find that the touch was extremely cold, and he was startled, what was the matter with this body temperature.
Pachino Fortress looked at Li Ran and immediately let go, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, she just turned around, and then her tone revealed an indescribable tenderness:
"Literally, stupid Darling. ā
Li Ran was stunned, and then wanted to speak, but saw the other party gently raise his hand, he thought that the other party was going to kill someone, but saw the other party turn around again, just lightly covering his mouth with his hand.
Pachino Fortress looked at Li Ran intently, as if he wanted to engrave his face in his head.
Li Ran saw the sadness in the depths of his pale blue eyes, and he felt a slight tingling in his arm, which was the location where he had a mysterious tattoo before.
"It's finally there, I'm so envious of them, I'm so envious of being recognized and killed. ā
Envy?
Li Ran didn't understand what Pachino Fortress was going to say at all, it stands to reason that she should be on the side of the Deep Sea Fleet, but she denied it herself, and after crossing by herself for so long, the tattoo had already disappeared, but why?
Before he could react, he heard Pachino Fortress say again:
"It still hurts. ā
After speaking, Pachino Fortress opened his hand lightly and sighed softly:
"The deep sea is running out of time for me, it's time for me to go, Darling, and hopefully there will be a day when we can see each other again. ā
As he spoke, Li Ran felt a cold touch on his cheeks, and then his eyes darkened, and when his vision recovered, the figure of Pachino Fortress had disappeared.
"What the hell is going on. ā
Li Ran touched his cheeks, feeling a little concerned, he looked at the empty sea, touched the back of his hand, there was no tattoo, as if the illusion of stinging just now.
However, Li Ran clearly felt that whether it was a cold touch or a cold cheek, it was extremely real, and if it was a dream, it was not like it at all.
Just as Li Ran was thinking, Bismarck's communication request came from the [Sea Ear 1-5] communicator:
"Admiral, the deep sea has retreated!"
"What?" Li Ran was dumbfounded, and then remembered what Pachino Fortress said before he set up a card, and said in his heart:
Could it be that the purpose of this deep-sea attack on the port area is to transfer his own ship? Is it just to see himself?
What's the point?
I don't understand, damn it!
This feeling of helplessness is really unwilling.
And, when you think about it, it feels like you're in trouble again.
"Pachino Fortress, no matter who you really are or what your purpose is, I'll definitely find out, it's abominable for a person to pretend to be cool over there!"
Bismarck listened to Li Ran saying this on the other end of the device, and she hurriedly asked:
"Admiral? Are you listening? Admiral?"
"It's okay, I'll go back immediately, you don't have to worry. ā
After speaking, Li Ran hung up the communication, then looked at the starry sky, took a deep breath, the smell of the sea breeze came to his nose, but he couldn't calm down at all, if the other party had any ill intentions towards him, he was afraid that he would have died just now I don't know how many times.
However, since the other party is not determined to kill himself, why do these seemingly superfluous things?
Li Ran was in a daze, and then was about to return to the cockpit, but his foot kicked a strange thing:
"What is this?"
