174. Moonlight on a ship
"Y-What are you?"
Seeing Elizabeth wearing a kitchen lady and a mask, Lin Ao was surprised.
"Let's go somewhere quiet, I know there's a good place."
"Oh? Let's go. ”
Lin Ao felt fresh, and Elizabeth, who had been under semi-house arrest, actually found an interesting place on the ship. The two walked silently but inwardly like shy couples, their eyes looking in other directions, but they were thinking of each other in their hearts. It was night at the moment, the corridor inside the ship was very quiet, only two footsteps could be heard, and most of the light sources were rarely turned off for maintenance, Lin Ao felt like he was walking on a silent and dark boulevard, thinking of some scenes from the movie.
After walking for about ten minutes, I finally came to her good place. It turned out to be the end of a hallway, and there was a round window at the right angle to let in a beam of moonlight. Someone Bai threw the maintenance prop box here, just enough to sit two people.
"Whew..."
In the moonlight, Elizabeth took off her mask, revealing her pale face, her blue eyes shining like jewels in the light.
"Sit down."
Elizabeth found a cloth and sat down on the box, and Lin Ao sat down directly.
"That."
"That."
"You go first."
"No, you go first."
Elizabeth smiled: "I heard you broke through the atmosphere, are you okay?" ”
Lin Ao shook his head: "Thanks to the friends I met before, otherwise I would have been burned to a mess." ”
"That's good... I found out about it last night, so I prayed to the moonlight, hoping that you would come back safely, but I didn't expect you to come back today, great! ”
Lin Ao smiled with relief and asked, "Then, what is your situation now, you can move freely on the boat?" Why are you wearing a cook's clothes? ”
Elizabeth looked at the cuffs that were a little dirty because of Bai's labor: "Captain Li Youde now allows me to move freely, at the cost of letting me help everyone, I really didn't know that working in the kitchen would be so tiring." ”
"How so! I'm going to go with him! ”
Elizabeth hurriedly waved her hand; "Don't! I'm more than happy to! After all, I asked this ship to come to Earth, and anything can happen along the way, so I hope to help everyone. ”
"Well... You're so nice, and now you don't have bodyguards with you? ”
"I have to go back to my room on time at night, there will be someone at the door, but it's nothing."
After speaking, there was silence again, as if I could hear the wind outside the ship. Lin Ao's mind quickly filtered through all kinds of topics that could be talked about, and when he finally found one, Elizabeth spoke first.
"What do you want to do if the war ends?"
"Me? I used to think very simply, go back to the place where I grew up, West Asia. There I worked as a cook, or like my parents taught poor children to read. But... I don't think so now. ”
"Why?"
"I want to continue to protect you after the war is over, I..."
Before Lin Ao was finished, he saw Elizabeth's cheeks crimson, and he realized that he had said something wrong.
"Ah, I mean, to protect you from the radical HER remnants, after all, what you're doing is to undermine their ambitions to unify the Earth."
"Thank you..."
Under the desert moonlight, the boys and girls blushed, half embarrassed and half enjoying the silence. It's just that some people say they can't stand it.
"Hey! Lin Ao! ”
Natasha got out of it, and she followed it all the way. Elizabeth saw that the person who came was the person who had a very bad attitude towards her yesterday, and immediately hid behind Lin Ao, who protected Elizabeth with his hand and asked, "Natasha!?" Are you eavesdropping? ”
Natasha pointed at Elizabeth unceremoniously: "That's right! I eavesdropped, but you actually brought the princess of HER to the ship?! Do you know what you're doing? And she wants to stop the aggression of HER? No kidding, she's going to kill us! ”
"Not what you think, Natasha! Elizabeth has no ill will towards us, she really wants the war to end. ”
"End the war? Rely on her? You're dizzy! Even if she's a princess, she can't do it! ”
Elizabeth took a step forward: "I don't want the cruel war that my father has waged continues, I will call on my people to stop fighting at an international conference!" ”
"Huh?? That's it? It will only lead to more strife! Lin Ao, she is too similar to my sister, she has a high-sounding mouth, and all she thinks about in her heart is power! She's just trying to take advantage of you! ”
"No, it's not! Elizabeth, she risked her life to find the Osiris! ”
"Enough! I'm going to Sergeant Bart and lock her up! ”
"It's useless! This matter was agreed upon by Major General Shepard, Lee Youde and Anton! ”
"Are you crazy? Damn, I'm really on the wrong boat, I won't protect Princess Rao, and this enemy will burn the African rainforest and poison the river! ”
"What!?"
Seeing Elizabeth's expression of disbelief, Natasha became even more energetic.
"Why don't you know yet? Good thing to do for your country's soldiers, they have poisoned the rivers of Africa, and our next mission is to stop them from burning the Congolese rainforest. ”
"Is hers real?"
Elizabeth asked Lin Ao in a wavering tone, and Lin Ao nodded helplessly.
"Why, they're doing this?"
"You HER don't care if he lives or dies, if you really think that you can arouse the conscience of your people with two words, why don't you try to use your tongue to stop the evil deeds of the African HER army!"
"No, it's too dangerous!" Lin Ao denied.
"You know she can't do it, right? It's all ridiculous! I'm going to..."
Before Natasha could finish, she felt the ground tremble and heard a screeching sound like metal rubbing against each other.
"What is this! Earthquakes? Natasha asked.
"No... The vibration looked like it was from a boat, and it was very close to us... Could it be!? ”
Lin Ao remembered something, made a gesture to Natasha and Elizabeth not to move, and ran towards a warehouse not far away. Just as he ran to the door of the warehouse, Anton and Edward, who were also in a panic, rushed over.
"You guessed that, too?"
Anton and Edward nodded, and Anton stepped forward and said: "This warehouse still contains the heirlooms found in Europe, since the source of the vibration is in this room, it must have been caused by him, Edward, you go and inform the captain and tell him to be ready to inform everyone to evacuate." ”
"Will it explode!?" Edward was startled.
"The devil knows, but I'm worried about what weapon is in it, I'm going in, Lin Ao, you are guarding the door, I..."
Before Anton finished, the ground suddenly shook violently, and Anton sat on the ground with his buttocks, but the shaking and screeching sound also stopped. Fearing that something would happen again, Lin Ao entered the room on behalf of Lieutenant Anton.
"Lin Ao, you have a little heart!"
Lin Ao tiptoed into the warehouse and didn't dare to breathe, because he saw smoke coming out of the place where the relics were placed, and it was poisonous. Just as he was about to get there, a pitch-black orb rolled out of the triangular shell of the relic...
