The final quarter-final of the 2014 World Cup officially kicked off on July 6, with the Netherlands versus Costa Rica, and the fierce offensive and defensive battles between the two sides brought the game into a stalemate, and the two teams could only enter a brutal penalty shootout with a score of 0:0.

Even if it wasn't the fans of both sides, Carlos was still very nervous, and when the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Netherlands did not live up to the expectations of the fans, and finally won the last place in the semi-finals with a difference of 4:3 and one goal, and successfully got the ticket to the semifinals three days later.

As the flow of people left the New Water Arena, Carlos unhurriedly played with the reinforcements in his hands.

"It's a pity, Gu Sen missed the game in Argentina."

As a buddy who grew up together, Locke can't be completely clear about Gu Sen's hobbies, but at least, he still knows that the other party likes that football team.

With an inexplicable smile, Carlos looked at the person who spoke, and he didn't open his mouth to speak until the latter unconsciously shivered.

"It turns out that my king is a fan of Argentina? He didn't even tell me, you have a good relationship......

The mischievous tail note made the other two friends slow down at the same time, they had only seen the amazing destructive power of a certain beast last night, and they didn't want to sweep the typhoon tail at this time.

In this society now, self-preservation is the king, Locke, go all the way!

Realizing that he was showing off his might in front of the cautious beasts, Locke chuckled in his heart and hurriedly raised his hands in surrender.

"Ahem, this is information from more than ten years ago, I'm just looking for a topic, let me go."

Seeing that Carlos's smile was getting more and more innocent, and there was still a trace of conscience in his heart, the captain took the initiative to take the topic away.

"It's rare to come to Zavaldo, I'll take you to taste the most authentic Moqueca!"

"What's that?"

As soon as he talked about eating, Jacob's hidden foodie instinct came back to life.

"A seafood and coconut milk baked specialty, mainly soft shell crab and shrimp, then added with herbs, tomatoes, garlic, onions and coconut milk, stir-fried in African palm oil over low heat, and served with coconut milk rice. What is more characteristic is that the people here like to stir-fry and stew rice with coconut milk mixed with chili pepper and turmeric, which is said to be very delicious. ”

Since the opening of the M3 skill system, as a foodie, Carlos has long extended his claws to the special cuisines around the world, especially the fans from all over the world attracted by his food Twitter are not tens of thousands, there are thousands, this kind of exchange of foodies from all over the world, so that his food hunting catalog has been enriched a lot, and the special dishes of many countries, even if they have not really tasted it, but still have a general impression.

Just wait for the opportunity to try it when you have the chance!

Of course, it's best to succeed in stealing the teacher!

The captain, who was born directly in Brazil and can already be regarded as an indigenous Brazilian, looked at Carlos in surprise and hurriedly gave it a thumbs up.

"You know that, too?"

"Don't underestimate Carlos's title of 'portable five-star chef', in addition to the super delicious food, the recipes in his head are the most amazing places, desserts, medicinal foods, Chinese and Western dishes, and many specialties from all over the world. Damn, even though I'm not a foodie, I still feel liver pain for Gu Sen's good life! ”

To prove that Locke's words were not exaggerated, Jacob kept nodding his head in agreement by his side.

"It's not kind! Carlos, when are you going to show me your hand! There are still a few days left before the semi-finals, and Gu Sen will be here tomorrow, why don't you just do a party in these two days? I can also ask my dad how about borrowing a yacht and a food pie at sea? ”

Meeting three pairs of excited eyes, the superiority of being a chef instantly rose up, and Carlos smiled as reservedly as he could.

"I'm fine, it just so happens that my uncle said that he recently received a good batch of dried abalone, why don't you just come to a Buddha jumping over the wall? I haven't done it yet. ”

"Damn, who is his son, why did the old man never tell me!"

Heartbroken by this discrimination, the captain decided that he would definitely empty all the fuel tanks on this voyage! And don't bring the refueling!

Regardless of the captain's scarred glass heart, the group was soon led by him to the legendary Moqueca restaurant.

It's a pity that this night, the three people who are full of expectations are destined not to taste this highly respected special delicacy.

——————————

As the four of them strolled down the high street, full of sixteenth-century religious buildings, a large electronics shop along the street, with more than a dozen television screens playing the local news in unison, and the standard Portuguese did not attract the attention of the three friends except the captain.

At the moment when he was about to pass by the last TV, the captain's expression, who was still acting as a tour guide to introduce the popular church nearby, changed instantly, he suddenly stopped, and then quickly turned into two steps forward, staring at the live broadcast on the TV with wide eyes.

The captain's abrupt demeanor attracted the attention of Carlos and the others, but seeing the other party's rare attention Yan Sù's expression, after the three of them glanced at each other, they chose to close their mouths and leaned over silently, and when their eyes also fell on the screen, they could only see that the video window of the local news was cut into an aerial footage.

The camera is on the deep blue sea, I don't know what I'm looking for, for them, the Portuguese that has been babbling is like a book from heaven, and they can't understand everything.

"What's going on? Did an oil well be dug or a fishing boat collided? ”

"It looks like a plane crash, and the MH370 incident at the beginning of the year has not been explained until now, and it is fierce enough."

Just as Jacob and Locke were expressing their opinions, the combination of subtitles and numbers that suddenly rolled out on the news caused them to shut their mouths at the same time.

"Carlos, Gu Sen is the plane that arrived in the early hours of tomorrow morning? Direct flights from Malaysia to Rio? ”

His heart was pounding, Carlos tried hard to pull out a smile, but it seemed to be a failure, because he felt that the blood in his whole body was frozen at the same time, and he couldn't feel the nerve tissue near the corners of his mouth at all, he opened his mouth and struggled to make a sound from his vocal cords, but the tone that came out was hoarse and broken to make people frown subconsciously, but the other three people present didn't have the heart to pay attention to this.

"Yes, if there is no accident, it is the plane that ...... accident"

His face sank, and the captain put his hands on Carlos' shoulders.

"Calm down, Carlos, you try to call Gu Sen."

"It's useless, he's honest, when he flies, his phone is always turned off."

Although he said that, Carlos had already taken out his mobile phone, quickly dialed his man's number, and after a few seconds, sure enough, it was turned off.

Unlike the little friend who suddenly turned pale, even if the closest person is currently unknown in life and death, the [brave] characteristics given by the M3 system quickly calmed Carlos in a panic, and after his reason was online, he opened the system interface for the first time, and when he saw that the family members on the far left of the interface were still two character avatars, the heart in his throat was finally reduced by half.

Thankfully, I got married!

In M3, if a family member dies, the avatar will disappear from the screen.

However, Carlos's heart is still in a mess, because unlike the background color of his tender green character portrait, Gu Sen's character background color is yellow-orange, and even faintly has a tendency to develop towards red, which also shows that Gu Sen's current physical condition is not in a healthy state, maybe he is in danger!

logged on to the official website of Malaysia Airlines with his mobile phone, and when the four of them turned Gu Sen's name in the passenger list of the accident flight, compared to Carlos's appearance of forcibly calming down because of the system, Locke's legs were weak, if it weren't for the captain and Jacob's quick eyes, one of them dragging his arm, Locke would have been paralyzed on the ground.

Compared with Locke, Jacob obviously cares more about Carlos, and even the bamboo horse is like this, so Carlos, who has not been married to Gu Sen for a long time, will definitely collapse.

It's a pity that the first time he faced someone close to him in distress, he couldn't say the words of comfort and explanation at all, Jacob's heart was anxious and painful, and his eyes involuntarily moistened, what should he do now, what can he do!

Mouth! Speak! Walk over! Hug your buddy!

Although he had been spurring himself on in his heart, in the face of his little friend who had been operating his mobile phone and had a solemn expression, Jacob found that he couldn't move at all.

"He's fine at the moment, don't cry and lose your face, let's go back to Rio first."

Shoving the phone back into the captain's hand, Carlos slumped his face and pulled Locke out of Jacob's and the captain's support.

"Really?"

If there is no system, presumably his current appearance will definitely be ten thousand times higher than that of Locke Wolf, meeting the pair of black eyes full of hope, Carlos's eyes were empty, and another pair of more tenacious, deep, and persistent black pupils subconsciously appeared in his mind, and his stiff face slowly softened, and he showed a faint smile, and his tone was very firm.

"Really, I can feel it, he's fine."

Regardless of whether the little friend believed it or not, anyway, under the guidance of Carlos, the four of them returned to Rio overnight.

——————————

According to the content of the news report, as soon as the passenger plane entered the airspace of Brazil, it suddenly sent a message to the control center that "a suspected bomb was found on the plane", and when the satellite captured the location of the plane, it could only see a large area of smoke that was blown away by the sea breeze after the plane crashed into the sea.

Due to the remoteness of the crash site from land, rescue teams are still heading to the accident site.

“…… No group has claimed responsibility for the incident, and Malaysia Airlines ...... following the disappearance of flight MH370 on March 8, 2014.

Another bomb and another crash, the crew of the accident flight and the families of more than 100 passengers have actually lost hope for the survival of their loved ones.

But after the news spread, they still flocked to the Rio de Janeiro airport as soon as possible, waiting for even a trace of news from their loved ones, and the airport was very understanding to broadcast relevant reports 24 hours a day, and set up an exclusive information station for the families of the victims.

Also coming to the airport, Carlos looked away from the TV screen, it was already the second day of the plane accident, and the results of the search and rescue situation were still zero, and the salvage from the sea was one after another, either the wreckage of the plane or the charred, smashed, soaked, all kinds of unrecognizable corpses.

Standing blankly in the waiting room, Carlos looked at a certain door where the family members would be called in by the staff from time to time, and he quietly watched one after another family members with apprehension and tears coming in, or temporarily relieved, or crying bitterly, or directly collapsing and coming out.

A young girl with a round belly knelt on a chair and wept aloud, pounding the chair and asking God aloud why she and her unborn child were left in this world. And the first round was called into that room, and the two middle-aged couples, who were estimated to be the girl's parents, quietly shed tears, half-squatted on the ground, and hugged the poor girl into their arms.

The two gray-haired old couples, after coming out of that door, kept making a cross on their chests with one hand, allowing tears to flow out of their eyes, across the wrinkles at the end of their eyes, and slowly flowing down their flabby faces.

A bald-headed strong man, after being named by the staff, stood up from his seat with trembling hands, and staggered towards the door, seeing that his legs were weak, and the person who wanted to step forward to help him was also pale and staggered twice, and the two fell to the ground together.

There are those who don't say a word and are in a daze at the door, there are those who endure their grief and call other family members to inform them, and there are those who are grief-stricken and hug each other and cry......

Carlos subconsciously turned the black diamond wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand, and on the system interface that only he could see, the avatar belonging to Gu Sen finally turned from pale red back to yellow-orange, which meant that Gu Sen was temporarily out of danger.

Finally relieved, Carlos's numb brain activated again, he pursed his lips, and turned directly away from this depressed space.

He shouldn't be wasting time here, and all he can do is definitely not just stand at the airport and wait for news!

"Carlos, where are you going?"

Quickly keep up with the people who left without any nostalgia, and the little friends who rushed to Brazil overnight after being notified hurriedly chased them out, the little friends in China, the little partners in the United States, and the American mothers. hasn't arrived yet, like Gu Sen's family, Tom and other friends, all of them are in the air at a height of 10,000 feet.

"I'll go find Gu Sen."

Quickly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, the American sweetheart grabbed Carlos's arm.

"Search and rescue efforts have been going on......"

"I'm going to sea, and when I get to sea, I'll find him."

Putting his hand on the American sweetheart's hand, Carlos looked firmly into the other party's blue bloodshot eyes, and the two looked at each other silently for several seconds surrounded by their friends, and finally, the American sweetheart showed a smile.

"I believe in you, just as you were then, when you could find the three of us. But, they won't let you participate in the search and rescue efforts. ”

"They don't have much influence in Brazil, but the Poppy family owes Hoffman his life, and they'll nod their heads."

Taking a step forward, Jacob placed a hand on Carlos' shoulder.

"In Brazil, there will never be a second captain who is more familiar with the sea than my old man, the yacht, the captain and the first mate, are waiting for you!"

Keeping up with Jacob's pace, Hong Kong's friends will also put their hands on Carlos's shoulders.

"Anyway, I'm also a qualified captain, although I'm not familiar with it, but when you rest, I can still carry it."

With no third arm to hold, Locke chose to fold his hand on the back of the captain's hand.

"We'll go to the embassy later, although the grandchildren are not angry, but the old Yang family still has a certain influence on it."

Mr. and Mrs. Yang Batian said so.

"I'll stay here and wait for news, Ah Ren is already rushing here."

patted Carlos on the back, and Lin Zihao took all the logistics affairs over.

Bearing the weight of support on his shoulders, Carlos suddenly felt the urge to cry, but now was not the time to be weak, and he smiled slowly.

"If you want to thank you, I'll let Gu Sen come back and tell you."

After entrusting the American mother to Lin Zihao, the friends immediately went their separate ways as planned.

——————————

Without delay, after receiving approval to participate in the search and rescue operation that night, Carlos, Locke, the captain, the captain of the ship, his father, and the American sweetheart, the first search and rescue team set off first.

Standing at the bow of the boat, the cold sea breeze that had been broken by the yacht whipped both of Carlos' cheeks with pain, but he himself did not feel it at all. At this moment, he is devoting himself to the map that comes with the system, and through a series of zoomed-in viewing functions, the nearby sea area is investigated in a grid of 10m × 10m.

Due to the limited scope of the system map, it can only use Carlos as the center of the circle to enter information in real time about a certain size of the place around him, and Gu Sen, as the default family member of the system, as long as he is in the circle centered on Carlos, the green avatar symbol belonging to him can appear on the system map.

This is the reason why Carlos must go to sea to participate in the search and rescue in person, and it is also the first plan he thought of after Gu Sen's accident.

Silently looking at Gu Sen's steady and yellow-orange avatar, which could be red again at any time, Carlos took a deep breath.

Hold on! I'm sure I'll find you!
