【Volume 1】Lanwan 11: Stirring up
She touched the ground with two fingers, even if it was shallow, and only a small part, but it was indeed a footprint.
Sure enough, someone followed them last night.
Qing Yu raised his eyebrows, it seems that he is not the only one who has "problems" on this gold hunting number.
"Interesting." She smiled and prepared to go up to the upper floor, where the conference room and the captain's room were located, but the trouble was that there were guards standing at the top of the stairs further up.
Qing Yu didn't stay long, but went to the back deck for the time being, looked carefully, and made sure that he could climb directly from the mast to the upper floor, but he was afraid that he could only wait for dark before acting.
The wake-up bell on the Gold Hunter had already rang, and the bodyguards who had been called up had all gone to the deck after breakfast. This is the rule that the government has explained to them, after boarding the ship, in addition to eating and sleeping, they must be on standby. So at this moment, more than 100 people were scattered all over the deck with nothing to do, some were exercising, some were watching the sea and chatting.
There was no navy on deck, but the corridors on the fourth and fifth floors were closely guarded. The navy had guns in their hands, and it looked like they were supervising the bodyguards on the deck below.
"Damn, what do you mean? When are we criminals? ”
Some people scolded angrily, but they could only endure it for the sake of money. Seeing the Hoss brothers coming, Light Feather lowered his hat and went elsewhere, not wanting to bump into Fusgaard as soon as he crossed the corner:
"Is that you?"
"Shh Light Feather pulled him into a corner and barricaded him inside, leaning against the wall in a casual chatter.
"What's wrong with you, why are you dressed like this again?" Fusgaard also adjusted her posture and was very cooperative with her, but there were indeed more problems, "You really went to see the captain yesterday?" ”
"Are you bold?" Light Feather replied not to the question.
Fusjia was stunned: "It's okay......"
"Yes, you can do me a favor now." Light feathers are very crisp. According to what Jin Ge said yesterday, something must happen today, and once something happens, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the captain's office to sneak in, so now that the navy is in a meeting, it is the only time.
The two of them snuck up to the third floor, and two sentries stood at the top of the stairs on the fourth floor. Foregard straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and swaggered over:
"Two sir, are the guns in your hands real?" He stared at the gun like a fool, and the muzzle of the gun pointed at him:
"Get out of here!"
"What's your attitude? I'll just ask. How come I am also a bodyguard hired by the government, and we are now colleagues, why do you look down on people? Fursgaard cursed, and the two sentries couldn't help but sneer:
"Also colleagues, who is a colleague with you? I don't pee either. ”
"You really think it's honorable that the government paid you to hire you, don't you? What a brainless idiot, I'm afraid I don't even know how I died for a while. ”
"Get on, go to the deck, run away without discipline and shoot you!"
The sentry swaggered at Fursgaard with a gun, even if he didn't have insurance, this was a very dangerous move, obviously the navy really didn't treat the bodyguards as human beings, and even getting on the boat meant that the bodyguards' lives became unimportant.
Fusgaard angrily took out his slingshot and aimed it at a person's eye. He moved quickly, and immediately after that, he hit another person in the nose.
"Bastard, you're tired of it!"
Fusjia ran away after the fight, the man chased after him with his nose covered, and the remaining one was still squatting on the ground with his eyes covered, and Light Feather was very agile and walked around his back, and one turned over and went up to the fourth floor.
Although there was a little worry about whether Fusgaard would be able to escape, it was more important to sneak into the captain's room. The captain's quarters are on the fourth floor, but the corridors are full of sentinels. Light Feather was at the top of the stairs for a while, and soon Fusgaard climbed from the corridor on the third floor to the deck below, and heard the sentry who had been shot in the nose shouting:
"Catch him! Catch that bastard! Lao Tzu paid a hundred light baht and killed him! ”
A single sentence made waves of the already boring morning, as if it were the best entertainment, and the group of mercenary thugs on the deck were all full of interest in the game. The scene is in chaos, and Versgaard is like a rat crossing the street, and I have to say that he is really good at causing trouble.
The navy on the fourth and fifth floors all stared downstairs, and even fired warning shots to stop them, but the hired people were outlaws, and who would really be afraid of any gunfire.
It was only the first moment when the navy's attention was diverted, and Light Feather walked through the corridor on the fourth floor with extreme agility and pried open the door to the captain's room with a hairpin.
Gocha.
A light sound signaled safe arrival.
One soldier seemed to notice something, turned around and pulled the door to the captain's quarters, and peeked in through the small window in the door. At this time, the officer's scolding came from the fifth floor:
"What are you doing? Are you crazy?! ”
"Captain, the bodyguards downstairs are doing something."
"Then go clean up on them! Do you still need me to teach you? You can't even control a few ruffians, you rice buckets! What's the use of the government keeping you! ”
"Yes!" The captain of the escort bowed his head, and the captain admonished:
"Just scare them, don't waste too many bullets, especially don't kill people. Ahead is the Sea of Red Mountains, and if their lives are gone, we will be in trouble. ”
"Yes!"
Bang bang bang –
The gunshots could be heard clearly outside in the captain's cabin, and the bullets didn't hit the right place, either grazing the bodyguards' ears or nearly piercing their shoes. Seeing that the navy was moving, a hundred or so people stopped. The captain of the escort quickly approached Fourgaard and summoned him and the two sentries at the staircase to his office.
"What do you want to do? Rebellion? It's not a mess to spend money on you! The captain rebuked. Fusgaard kept his head down and apologized, wearing black-rimmed glasses, he looked like a weak chicken, which made the captain even angrier when he saw it, especially the toy-like slingshot.
"! Get out! Run 200 laps around the deck! ”
"Huh?" Fusgaard's face turned white, and the two sentries next to him were secretly proud, but the captain also yelled at them:
"What is the matter? You will also be punished! Let's run! ”
The three of them obediently went to the deck to run, which became a joke for everyone. Seeing that it was Fusgaard's boy, the Hoss brothers also stretched out their feet to deliberately trip him, causing him to fall and eat.
"Hahaha! Bear-like, what a piece of rubbish! ”
"Hahaha......"
Everyone laughed, and the captain's room on the fourth floor was clearly audible. Light Feather hid by the window and looked down, but Fusgaard's glasses reflected the light, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He just got up silently and continued to run, his heart was far stronger than the appearance of a weak chicken.
"Fool." Light Feather said lightly, turned around and continued to look through the logbook of the Gold Hunter. However, the logs are normal and nothing surprising. The Hunter departed from Tieyang Port in Lanyang City, and a week later docked at the port of Branding Ling Bay in Yaojin District, one of the five major jurisdictions, and then stayed for a week to wait for the government to unload the cargo before returning home.
Of course, the Gold Hunter did not return the same way, and took a different and closer route when returning to Lanyang.
In the logbook, all the stopovers and the sea areas passed are clearly recorded, including the number of crew members and bodyguards. According to the logbook, all bodyguards disembark in secret at Yaojin, and keep the voyage a secret. It's just that......
Qing Yu raised his chin, according to Jin Ge's words last night, something will definitely happen to the bodyguards in the Sea of Red Shan, and it is precisely because of this incident that the government will not hesitate to hire bodyguards every time. But the number of bodyguards who disembarked from Yaojin was all disembarked. He Fu had explained some information to her beforehand, and the bodyguards recruited by the government every time were newcomers, and the bodyguards who had participated in the voyage before had not been seen since they got off the ship.
Rumor has it that the government secretly gave them benefits and placed them in the "New World" to do secret work. It's not that no one on the road has checked about it, but the end is either missing or choosing to shut up. The only leaked claim of "confidential work" is also from a vague source - it is said that a bodyguard who has returned has written to his family, saying that they are all doing well now.
The bodyguards are all superpowers, and in such an era, the supernatural are dangerous goods in the eyes of the government, and it is the best thing to cut ties with their families. Therefore, the very matter of writing a letter is not very reliable. So conspiracy theories are always what people are more willing to believe:
These bodyguards may have been sent to the "grave". And the recruitment of bodyguards may be a means for the government to eliminate the aliens in disguise.
However, even so, they are willing to get on the ship for money, and some are looking for their missing brothers.
"If they really want to send us to the 'grave,' that's fine."
"Even if you go to that place to find someone, you won't be able to get out yourself."
"It doesn't matter. For me, my brother is my family. I left home at the age of thirteen so as not to cause trouble to my family, and I didn't want them to be afraid of me all the time. In the thirteen years at home, my parents have not slept well, for fear that someone will find out my secret, for fear of being reported, and send me in. So I've figured it out a long time ago, if it's destined to be my place, at least I can die with my brother. ”
"Well, I understand what you say, so why shouldn't I? Giving birth to an alien like us would only be a disaster for the family. It's better to be as if you never gave birth to us. My parents, who sold me to a mine owner when they were only full moon. It's an open secret that the supernatural can be of great help in their work, and that they secretly buy the supernatural children at a low price. It's just that the government will have to intervene when the children grow up. ”
The two bodyguards on the deck chatted deeply, and they were not like this, so there was the existence of the "Dawn Organization".
"Why didn't you join the Dawn Organization? It's better than floating out there and going it alone. ”
"Indeed, the Dawn Organization has helped us Adepts, and without them, the government would not have turned a blind eye to the Anomalies. At least to deal with them, the government needs us as adepts. But if we refuse to cooperate with the government, we will be sent in. Is the Dawn really reliable, though? After all these years, they still haven't had the upper hand. To put it bluntly, we are always in a difficult fate, so why not be comfortable? Moreover, the government has come up with methods such as recruiting bodyguards to absorb combat power, and it can always find people, which shows that most of the parapowers still have no confidence in the Dawn Organization. If all the Strangers have taken root in the Dawn Order, if one day, the government and the Dawn Organization come to an agreement behind their backs, won't we be wiped out? ”
The lack of a way forward and a hopeful way to survive will always be an unsolvable problem for the Able. In the stalemate situation and chaotic world, it is not only the supernatural who is insecure, but also the human beings who survive after the apocalypse.
Ironically, the biggest problem with survival has never been food and resources, but the ugliness of human nature.
The wind on the sea was a little cool, and the two of them had no interest in the affairs of Fusgaard behind them, looking into the distance and chatting, and after a while, they saw a blood-colored sea water.
