The submarine surfaced, and at the moment the wind and waves were calm, everyone simply went to the deck and breathed some fresh air.

Arthurstone also came up, carrying a black bag in his hand.

The deck of a submarine is not as wide as that of a ship, and the long and narrow board surface resembles the back of a giant shark, which is always a little shaky at sea. Boris and Ivan are people who are not afraid of the wind and waves, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of life, sitting or standing or lying down, pitching at will, and they are not a problem. But to their surprise, the Mr. Stone walked gracefully to the bow deck as if he were on the ground.

"Sir, you must have worked in the Navy before, right?" Boris asked, lying on his side on the deck, as he handed out the box of cigars.

Arthurstone turned around and smiled, "I didn't join the Navy, but I did work in Somalia for a few years. ”

Boris said: "Ha, you are laughing! Only the guardians of the sea, who have Egil's approval, can face the sea so calmly, and the Somali pirates cannot. ”

Stone smiled, walked over to Boris and sat down and asked, "You're Boris, aren't you?" ”

"Yes sir, thank you for remembering my name." Boris handed over a cigar.

Stone didn't answer, saying, "You've served in the Navy for eleven years, longer than Ivan." You originally had a wife who was an admirer of yours and was proud of you for being a good submariner, didn't you? ”

Boris looked at Ivan and complained: "Oh, Ivan, your mouth is so long! ”

Ivan said, "I didn't say that. ”

Boris was skeptical. Ivan is a reliable man who never lies to them, which is why everyone trusts him. But if it wasn't for what he said, how would Stone have known about his past? He and his wife have been divorced for a long time. The adoration of the navy was only the impulse of the lady's youth, and in the years of solitude and poverty, ideals and beliefs became the liquid in the urinal, and every day a new indoctrination was poured into it, but every day it became so sour that it had to be poured out.

However, Boris was soon relieved, and did not think much about this problem anymore, knowing that he knew that there was no secret to speak of, and after years of wandering, he had taken women very lightly.

"It's long gone, woman! When you make money, you can go ashore from anywhere, Aarhus, Belfast, Tokyo, Houston, Lugang, there are countless beauties everywhere who strip naked and lie on you and lick you for those few colorful tickets. Boris said openly.

"Boris!" Ivan rebuked, "Be careful! ”

"Yes, yes! Ivan, you're going to have your set again" Boris waved his hand impatiently, put the cigar across his nose and sniffed and sniffed, a little reluctant to smoke, "Your cigar is really good!" Quite a bit of money, right? ”

Ivan said, "Boris, this box that Mr. Stone gave you is the first edition of Bayco rolled by Fernandez, nearly ten thousand dollars a piece. ”

Boris's hand shook and the cigar fell. He hurriedly caught it, and if it fell on the wet deck, he couldn't pump it.

"Ivan, you even know this! Do you fucking smoke a lot? Boris said dissatisfied, "How many are in this box?" Well, twenty-four days, that's not about $400,000! ”

"If you buy it for integration, you don't need to buy it so much, half of it is enough." Ivan said.

"That's expensive enough, Lao Tzu can earn so much after working hard for a year!" Boris said.

"If you like it, you can smoke it, it won't cost much." Stone took the bag that had been placed on the deck and pulled out a tablet and a gray box the size of a radio. While connecting the box to the computer, he pulled out a long antenna from the box and said, "I still have it if you want to smoke it, but it's all on the shore, and I can't go back to get it until the mission is over." ”

Boris said: "Although the cigars are good, I still prefer money. ”

His words seemed to speak to everyone's hearts, and they all echoed it.

Arthurstone adjusted the antenna, then turned on the computer and said, "The signal is good!" Ivan, I'll transfer the remaining half of the money to your account now. ”

Ivan said: "Sir, the task is not over"

Arthurstone interrupted him: "The mission is over, now it's up to us to see if we can get back alive." ”

"What did you say?" Everyone was shocked.

"I don't know what's going to happen, but be prepared." Arthurstone said, "Ivan, you go and check the torpedo compartment first." ”

"Yes, sir." Ivan extinguished the cigar he had lit, slipped it in his pocket, and climbed out of the hatch.

"There's no real going to be a war, is it?" Boris suddenly became nervous, "No wonder you have to be equipped with a full amount of torpedoes, I thought it was too much money to burn!" ”

"It's not a war." Stone continued typing on the computer.

"What's not a war?" Boris asked curiously, "One 533 torpedo is enough to destroy a destroyer, we are equipped with fourteen, is it Godzilla coming?" ”

Boris's question has actually existed in Ivan's mind for a long time. At one point, he doubted that Arthurstone would be a terrorist, but after careful understanding and consideration, he ruled out the idea.

Ivan checked the torpedo compartment and everything was fine. He passed by the lounge as he returned to the deck, and when he looked curiously, he saw that both computers were on, one of which was still playing an old movie, and the other had a strange picture.

This picture is a bit similar to the magnetic detection he saw before, it is also composed of dotted lines, and some color blocks have been filled, which is equivalent to a half-finished three-dimensional puzzle. The blue color around it is supposed to represent the seawater, and the image in the middle looks a bit like the shape of an undersea volcano, with a gray-to-red gradient all the way to the bottom, and the dark red part may represent magma.

Curiously, the irregular crater has an inverted triangular shadow inside, like a triangular pyramid funnel inserted upside down into the volcano. There is a thin rainbow-like straight line in the middle, shooting from the center of the funnel to the dark red at the bottom.

Ivan didn't see anything famous after looking at it for a long time, so he went back to the deck and told Stone that everything was normal in the torpedo compartment.

Arthurstone nodded, then said, "Ivan, I've transferred two million dollars to your wife's account." ”

Ivan was surprised and said, "Sir, what are you?" ”

Stone closed the computer and motioned for him not to speak: "Boris, although you are divorced, you still think about your wife and children, right?" I transferred a sum of money to your ex-wife in your name, which is enough for her to live the rest of her life. ”

Boris was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

"Vasily Andrei Mordevich Anthony"

Arthurstone reported his names one by one, and transferred money in their names to the family, friends, or comrades-in-arms they cared about the most.

"Sir, I don't understand, why are you doing this?" Ivan asked, puzzled.

"Ivan, I'm sorry I didn't tell you beforehand, but this mission is actually very dangerous." Stone said.

"Alright, don't say it!" Boris roared, "Isn't it just a war, I looked forward to it when I was a soldier!" Mr. Stone, what do you want us to do? I'll leave my life to you! ”

"It's not a war, but it's more dangerous than a war." Arthurstone stood up, his white trousers swaying slightly in the sea breeze.

"What's that?" Boris asked.

"Look around!" Stone said.

Everyone looked around, only to see that the horizon in the distance was gone, and a layer of white mist rose on the vast sea surface at some point. Above the fog, the silhouettes of some buildings, like mirages, are faintly visible.

As the white fog drew closer, the buildings became clear. Ivan saw several pyramids towering among them, but the problem was that these pyramids were upside down, with spires propped up on the sea, and in the water, there was actually its reflection.
