381. A promise like a mountain
Aoki walked over and patted Xia Xiaoxiao's back gently, comforting, "Situ may be fine." ”
She sighed, smiled helplessly, and said thank you.
Aoki felt that he should tell her about the captain's diary, but he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, so he turned on his phone and showed Xia Xiaoxiao the captain's diary stored in the Ghost file.
Xia Xiaoxiao was surprised the more she looked at it, which undoubtedly brought her hope. Although the research ship also suffered a misfortune in the end, and from the current situation, no survivors have been found, but at least it will not be as desperate as a submarine wreck. The hope seen in the extreme despair, even if it is as thin as a strand of hair, is as uplifting as the light of the dawn.
"Thank you." Xia Xiaoxiao returned the phone to Aoki, looked into Aoki's eyes sincerely and said.
Aoki said, "What's polite, I'm Meimei's godfather!" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao sneered and laughed, thinking of Meimei, and the sadness on her face was instantly covered by happiness.
"How is Meimei?"
"Okay, I just miss my mother a little."
"yes, I just want to go back and see her!"
When the search for Situ was fruitless and desperate, Xia Xiaoxiao had already planned to return to China to visit her daughter. If Situ is gone, her daughter is the only thing she has left.
But now the news that Aoki brought to her shakes her again, if her husband is still alive, is he now on a desert island, waiting for rescue with no clothes and food?
Aoki saw her thoughts, he originally wanted to propose that she go on the boat to find Situ together, but thinking of the current treacherous and turbulent situation in the Southern Taiping, and seeing Xia Xiaoxiao's extremely beautiful face, he suddenly understood Situ at once.
"Miss her, let's go back and see, Meimei looks more and more like you!" He said.
Xia Xiaoxiao seemed a little surprised, she originally thought that Aoki would invite her to go to sea together. She looked at him, and beneath the unkempt hair was a handsome face, with deep and determined eyes, full of wisdom, but a little childlike confusion, as if there was an endless curiosity and pursuit.
She suddenly understood what he meant, just like her husband.
"You two are alike!" She said.
Aoki was stunned for a moment: "What is it really like?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao smiled: "You and my husband, in some ways, if you stare at it for a long time, you even feel that there are similarities in appearance." ”
Aoki laughed, "I heard that he is famously handsome and can charm all women in the world." ”
"It's the same with you, except you cover it up with your appearance." Xia Xiaoxiao said.
Aoki was not yet narcissistic enough to believe such words, and asked, "So, have you decided to go back?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the waves surging on the sea and thought for a long time. No one knew her husband better than her, and if there was any danger that even Situ couldn't resist, then it would be in vain for her to come. Perhaps only Aoki, a man who even his husband found mysterious and unfathomable, could help.
She sometimes couldn't figure it out, the two men had never met, they didn't know each other, and they even suspected each other, but they had a strange trust that was indescribable.
At the most critical time, Situ once asked her to take her daughter back to Wuzhong, not only because Wuzhong was Xia Xiaoxiao's maiden family and the Xia family's power, but also because Wuzhong Aoki. Situ said that as long as Aoki is here, the whole of Wuzhong will be safe. What a kind of trust this is!
"Okay, I'll listen to you, go back and see Meimei." Xia Xiaoxiao came back to his senses, "Do what you know...... I'll leave it to you! ”
"Okay." Aoki nodded.
A good word, listening to Xia Xiaoxiao's heart, it is a promise as heavy as a mountain.
She smiled and sighed in her heart, this is a man! Probably the two best men in the world, she met them, one became her husband and the other became her daughter's godfather.
Aoki suddenly remembered something, took off his backpack, and took out the glass jar full of Polish distilled vodka that Su Huilan had placed inside.
"This was just discovered a few days ago, and it was taken down from a woman, and you see, is it the chip that Lab 19 was researching at the beginning."
Xia Xiaoxiao took it suspiciously, and looked carefully through the glass in the daylight.
"That's right, it's an experimental chip." "But as far as I know, both the experimenter and the subject are dead." Moreover, this chip seems to be a reinforcement of the fourth-generation product, but Lab 19 has only researched the fourth-generation product, and the fifth-generation product is still in the design stage, and the laboratory has been devastated. ”
"You mean, this thing was developed in another lab?"
"I'm not sure now, I'm going to take it back and study it."
"Is it possible that Lab 19 is still around?"
"No way, if it's still there, it's secretly controlled."
"Will it be a dream?" Aoki said worriedly.
"I don't know." Xia Xiaoxiao also felt that the situation was serious, "If that's the case, it would be terrible, as far as I know, there are several very advanced projects in the No. 19 laboratory, some of which are more incredible than our chip project." ”
She carefully asked Aoki how she got the chip, and said, "This kind of chip can't be studied by ordinary equipment, so it has to be sent to the advanced laboratory." ”
"Aren't you going back to Wuzhong to see Meimei, just go to Professor Mei." "It's just that going through customs can be more troublesome. ”
Xia Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Yes, I will find a way over there." ”
Aoki knew that she was also a person with great powers, so he didn't say anything more.
At this time, a group of people came out of the camp, except for the staff of the base, who were probably all involved in the rescue who came to resupply. Su Huilan and Petru also came out, a beautiful and elegant woman and a big man with a red beard and red hair stood out in the crowd, and there was also a tall officer in military uniform.
The officer walked towards Aoki and Xia Xiaoxiao with strong steps, smiled politely at Aoki when he approached, and then asked Xia Xiaoxiao, "Is this your friend?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao introduced: "Oh, this is Aoki, my Chinese friend, who was born in the same city as me. Then he said to Aoki, "This is William, my naval friend, who has been helping me." ”
William stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Captain of the frigate USS Swordfish, Joint Task Force of the Third Pacific Fleet, Lieutenant Commander William Halsey. ”
Aoki numbly shook his hand: "Oh, your name is so long, my name is Aoki." ”
William laughed, then turned to Xia Xiaoxiao: "Shouldn't we go?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao smiled at Aoki and said solemnly, "Please." ”
Aoki nodded and said, "Accompany Meimei well, don't worry about things here." ”
William gentlemanly escorted Xia Xiaoxiao away from the shore and walked towards the dock where the warship was docked in the distance. He heard William asking her, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao shook the glass jar: "Marine specimens, I want to bring them back to China." ”
