103 Dark Shadow
Hei Ying and Han Bin followed closely behind Liu Moqing, they were wearing suits, and a single-man combat ring device was attached to their chests.
Liu Moqing was carrying a duffel bag with "Miao Jinqing" written on it, and all three of them were wearing bracelets, and after passing the verification, they got on the boat.
The black shadow felt Liu Moqing pause, and he asked, "What's wrong?" β
"William."
"Who?"
"Americans, let's go this way." Liu Moqing turned around.
The three of them walked to the other side of the boat, and the dark shadow took the opportunity to look at the ship in detail.
On a visual basis, the ship appears to be between 300 and 400 meters long, and between 50 and 60 meters wide.
The entire main deck has a view of the cockpit and living compartments in the aft room, as well as the lifeboats on the lifeboat deck.
The main deck was full of people walking around, and the crew was doing the guide.
"There are a lot of people." Han Bin looked at the person and said, "Are you sure this is a black market transaction?" It looks like it's all like the upper echelons are having a drinking party. β
"The fact is that there is a drinking party, but the difference is that it is only held among the rich." Liu Moqing said as she walked, "Do you see this bag in my hand?" Everyone has this bag with their name sewn on it, the difference is the color. β
"Color?" Han Bin looked at it, and the black shadow had already noticed that the color of the bag was different, but he didn't know what the color of the bag meant, so he didn't ask.
"Yes, a black duffel bag like this means that you can participate in the transaction. Look over there, carrying the yellow and red ones. Liu Moqing raised his head slightly.
"Well, indeed, there are only three colors." The dark shadow glanced through the crowd.
"We don't know what the yellow and red mean yet, but we'll find out soon."
Liu Moqing continued to walk, and a crew member saw Liu Moqing's luggage bag and took the initiative to come over to serve him.
The crew led the three of them into the second deck of the cabin, and the dark shadow immediately noticed that the interior of the freighter, which was not visible from the outside, had already undergone a major transformation.
The second deck is divided into rooms, each of which is a separate room. The aisle was so narrow that only one person was allowed to walk, and if someone was walking in the opposite direction, they had to face each other sideways, but luckily there was no such scene, and the shadow noticed that there were even arrows drawn on the ground very intimately.
"This is your room." The crew stood in front of a room with 2012 written on it and a card with Miao Jinqing written on it.
The crew tore the card off.
"Please sir give me the card of your duffel bag." Liu Moqing raised the duffel bag in his hand, tore off the card with his name written on it, and handed it to the crew.
At the same time, he opened his duffel bag, fumbled in it for a while, and took out a piece of RMB and handed it to the crew.
The crew politely took the tip.
"May I ask, is this deck full of guests like me?"
"Yes, only this floor belongs to distinguished guests like you, and the third and fourth floors are the living cabins for medium and average members, respectively."
"Oh."
"The fifth and sixth floors are the activity cabins, and the gentleman can go there after the welcome ceremony at eight o'clock in the evening."
"Where is the welcome ceremony?"
"VIP cabin on the main deck, I'll let you know when the time comes."
"What about the two of them?"
"It's right next door to you, and the room is definitely adequate." The crew said, politely saying goodbye, and turned to leave.
"Indeed, there are ten rooms in each column, nearly eighty in each row, so many small rooms, not to mention that they are inhabited, I thought they were prisons." The dark shadow replied.
He had just silently counted, except for the space occupied by corridors and other places, it was actually possible to transform a small space like this on a ship, and its function was only for sleeping, so to speak, it was like a prison.
"The predecessor of this ship was the prison." Liu Moqing threw his duffel bag on the bed, and after listening to the words of the black shadow, he replied.
"Prison?"
"Yes, this ship is called Maria, a sea prison jointly invested by Britain, the United States and France and built in the name of a private person, which was originally intended to be renovated from abandoned offshore oil wells, but in order to prevent prison robbery, it was changed to be renovated by cargo ships."
Liu Moqing opened the duffel bag, took out two bundles of brand-new RMB from inside, and handed them to Heiying and Han Bin, "After this prison was exposed, this sea prison had to be declared closed, but I didn't expect it to be used." If it weren't for this black market trade, I don't really know who this ship fell into. β
"What? Who is behind this black market deal? The shadow took the money and slipped it into his pocket.
"It's just a guess that Britain and France don't have such great ability, and only the United States dares to be so grandiose." Liu Moqing took out another bundle, he folded it back and forth with his hand, shook his head, and changed it again.
"What are you doing here?" Han Bin looked at Liu Moqing's strange behavior.
Liu Moqing didn't answer his question, he had already folded five yuan back and forth, and then brought him to Heiying and Han Bin, it was already seven yuan.
"That's it!" Liu Moqing took a bundle and sighed heavily.
"What's wrong?" The dark shadow looked at the bundle of renminbi he was holding.
Liu Moqing didn't explain, he opened the renminbi from the middle, it turned out that the bunch of renminbi was disguised, but it was actually a box.
He took the contents of the box out.
It's a mobile phone.
"I thought something was something." Han Bin said with some disappointment.
"It's a satellite phone, and I have to wait for someone to get in touch." Liu Moqing said.
"That's what you're here for?"
"Yes." Liu Moqing said.
"Hmph, if you want to find someone, we can do it for you, why bother so much." Han Bin said dissatisfied.
"Don't be too public, I know the strength of the two of you, the stakes are high, if you are exposed, it won't do me any good." Liu Moqing replied.
"And now?" The dark shadow asked.
"Let's go to the welcome ceremony, just in time, to see what old friends are here for." Liu Moqing put the RMB box in his pocket and carried his duffel bag.
The black shadow walked in front, Liu Moqing walked in the middle, and Han Bin was behind, and the black shadow followed the indicators on the ground and led people out of the second deck to the main deck.
All three of them exhaled in unison as they got on the main deck.
Behind them, from time to time, someone went up to the main deck and took a deep breath like them, it seemed that no one wanted to stay in that cramped place.
Except for sleeping.
Liu Moqing has been keeping an eye out for the guests who come to participate in the transaction.
"Let's go, it's almost time, there's no one I'm looking for here." Liu Moqing observed for a while and said.
Together, the three of them walked towards the aft superstructure, the only building of the entire ship, consisting of the survival boat platform, crew quarters, and wheelhouse.
On the entire main deck, all the cranes that were supposed to be there were removed, leaving only the hatch hoarding and the foremast boom.
On the way, a crew member led them into the VIP cabin, which was supposed to be the crew's living cabin.
After tipping enough, the trio entered the VIP cabin.
The entire VIP cabin looks like it can accommodate less than 300 people, and on each side of the cabin are long vertical tables, filled with desserts, meat-scented roast suckling pig, honey-coated roast duck, and roast lamb shank sprinkled with pepper and basil leaves, surrounded by fresh fruit.
Although there were not many people at this time, Liu Moqing looked around calmly, and he walked down the steps and blended into the crowd.
Although the people who were already in the VIP cabin whispered to each other or chatted and laughed, they also seemed to observe the three people who had just entered.
Liu Moqing walked to the table, with the black shadow on the left and Han Bin on the right.
"The person who takes me as the direction, the direction at ten o'clock, is my old friend, the American, who snatched the blueprint of Skynet in the first place." Liu Moqing took a plate and took a doughnut poured with hot chocolate from the dessert plate.
"He doesn't seem to be well rested."
"There is no need for disguise, and it seems that my suspicions are also well-founded." As soon as Liu Moqing finished speaking, the black shadow and Han Bin turned around almost at the same time.
"What's wrong?"
"There are empty people!"
"What!" Liu Moqing looked up at the black shadow in surprise.
"Talking to your old friendβ" The Shadow gasped, his tone almost shaky.
Liu Moqing glanced at it, and it was a woman who was talking to William, with long golden wavy hair, a proud figure, a white off-the-shoulder dress, champagne in her hand, and she was talking and laughing with William.
"Void man?" Liu Moqing asked suspiciously.
"Isn't she dead?" Han Bin asked in a low voice.
"You know each other, too?" The Black Shadow said in surprise.
"Nonsense! I'll count with her! Han Bin hurriedly turned his face, "Count it as a batch!" β
"What batch?" Liu Moqing asked.
"They are produced in batches, in Chongxu, ordinary humans are not qualified to reproduce naturally, except for higher humans and assigned ordinary humans can reproduce, most of the ordinary humans are produced in demand." The black shadow silently looked at the man who was talking and laughing.
"And how did you know that?" Han Bin whispered.
"I killed her." The dark shadow said calmly.
