Chapter 163: Interweaving

"Really...... Is that the thing? Standing at the top of the cliff close to the shoreline, Yuan Sui used one hand to block the only exposed eye on his face, and while shivering in the wind and rain to keep warm, he turned his head and shouted, "It's not far away, it's really good!" If you're going to sleep in the wild tonight, you're probably going to die! โ€

"What do you say? I still don't hear clearly! Kong Zhongsi made a slight movement, and the rain accumulated on the folds of the raincoat flowed down his neck into a thin river.

The pouring rain is the best barrier, not only extremely effective in affecting their forward speed, but even causing the effect of relying on "roaring" to communicate if they do not pay full attention at all times, even if they are face-to-face.

Seeing that the two figures beside him had begun to dance and try to rely on gesturing to talk, Ling Shucheng walked between the two and gently shook the line of words on his left hand that was bolded in the largest font:

"If it's really inconvenient, try using this way?"

Quite a large amount of water droplets smashed on the screen to create a splashing effect. Ling Shucheng vaguely saw that Yuan Sui seemed to be throwing his head into his position because the soles of his feet were slipping, and he staggered and barely regained his balance before he could reach out, repeating in a low voice, "Don't shake, don't shake", and finally squinted his eyes and grabbed his wrist unbearably, and just raised the screen in front of his eyes, and then nodded with a sudden understanding.

"But the feeling of typing face-to-face like this is a bit subtle." After hurriedly typing on the keyboard, Yuan Sui twisted a handful of hair that hung down like a wet rag with both hands, creating a small-scale waterfall-like effect, and said to himself, "I feel that my head weighs at least twenty pounds now, and I don't want to grow long hair anymore." โ€

"Do we have to stand here and talk?" Kong Zhongsi's face was directed at Ling Shucheng.

In order to keep his mind from being filled with all kinds of water sounds, even Ling Shucheng was reluctant to mobilize the ability to strengthen his five senses at this time, but he still understood the meaning of the other party from his facial expressions and mouth shape.

"When you retire, go full-time to ask for rain." Yuan Sui used a rope to string the three people into a grasshopper on a boat, and looked at Ling Shucheng's eyes and said.

Perhaps considering that she was really blown away by the strong wind at this time, or the possibility of accidentally falling and seriously injured, Yuan Sui was sandwiched between Ling Shucheng and Kong Zhongsi one after the other, just like a vegetable leaf in a hamburger, carefully covered by two pieces of bread that suddenly swelled up because of the raincoat.

The waves as high as a hill crashed hard against the dark reef, and the salty splash carried one or two unlucky fish and shrimp down from the sky. No amount of rain gear can do anything in such bad weather, and Ling Shucheng should at least be glad that he didn't carry the lightweight folding umbrella that comes with his equipment bag, because the umbrella will not only be extremely difficult to open, but it may also allow special elements like Yuan Sui, who are obviously not up to the standard weight among the soldiers, to briefly experience the spot when they are opened.

Pulling his calf out of the wet sand, Ling Shucheng stopped behind a leeward boulder and motioned for the two people behind him to repair in place for a short time.

"There can be no further delay." Kong Zhongsi, who was really engaged in civilian work for a normal year, held his knees and panted, even older than Yuan Sui, but he still typed a large paragraph in a timely manner, "It's already five o'clock in the afternoon." When it rained, it got dark faster than usual, and if we didn't get to the boat before the evening, it would have been hard to get through the shore tonight. What's more, we need to seize the time as much as possible in this mission. โ€

"Is that really the Horn? I'm starting to doubt myself. "I could only see a huge shadow lying on the shore, and looking at the silhouette, it looked more like some huge creature from the deep sea crawling up to land than a stranded ship." โ€

"Because the ship has started to roll sideways, you will feel like the hull is cocked." Ling Shucheng learned from his experience this time, and thoughtfully leaned the screen towards Yuan Sui's side, "We really have to hurry, if the rain doesn't stop, the speed of silence will be faster than we expected." Flash."

"It's also because of this eventful typhoon that the unmanaged Tsukien will rush to the shore, right?" Probably because his eyes were a little uncomfortable, Kong Zhongsi's blinking movements were extremely hard, "It's so miserable, it's like a stranded whale." The only good news is that the typhoon has made landfall and is some distance away from us, otherwise we would not have been able to get close to this place at all. โ€

"Let's do it in one go." Yuan Sui slowly straightened his waist, "I'll try not to drag you two back, as soon as I reach the outer wall of the ship, I'll pull you two directly and take off." โ€

"It's better not to." Ling Shucheng's answer was still very serious, "You may not be able to accurately control your ability under such strong external interference, don't take risks." โ€

"Are you worried that one of my slippery hands will cause the three of us to fall straight into the sea?" Yuan Sui pressed his chest with a heartache on his face as he acted in a drama, and then typed, "Believe me, it will never be, at most it will be a headlong collision with the outer wall of the ship." โ€

-

The rope directly cut off the street lamp used as a fulcrum, and Yuan Sui hurriedly tossed on the sloping smooth ground to try to slow himself down, and was finally grabbed by Ling Shucheng, who had landed safely at the bottom of the slope, and carried her collar to the left, helping her avoid the iron lampshade falling from the sky by the way.

"Move slowly, don't rush for a minute or two." Ling Shucheng admonished solemnly, then raised his head and waved his flashlight at Kong Zhongsi, who was still squatting on the glass.

Seeing the safety signal sent by Ling Shucheng, Kong Zhongsi and Yuan Sui's reactions were almost identical. After jumping down without hesitation, Motosui heard him scream uncontrollably, and then quickly landed in a floating state.

"Sucheng, do you have any misunderstanding about the light signals we commonly use?" Looking around at the ground that was piled up with debris and almost at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal, Kong Zhongsi was obviously a little shocked, "Where are we now?" โ€

"I mean, you can jump down with confidence, because I'm sure I'll catch it." Ling Shucheng easily redefined the concept of "security", "The place where we can enter directly from the outside must be the only unsealed space in the ship." On the second floor of the water, the garden in the design of the Pangu is probably a once famous commercial street. โ€

"Shopping Street - Sneeze!" Yuan Sui, who was slapping his chest to calm himself, was so shocked that he sneezed a few times, "Where did we come last fall?" โ€

"Yes." Turning the light source of the flashlight from a bright point to a warm yellow patch, Ling Shucheng illuminated their feet. Yuan Sui realized that he was leaning against the outer wall of a suspected coffee shop, surrounded by Western-style chairs, wrought iron flower baskets, and large coffee-colored parasols.

It's just that all the delicate furnishings outside the store have been piled up under the wall due to the pouring of the hull, quietly waiting for the moment when it will sink forever to the bottom of the water.

"It's not optimistic." Ling Shucheng looked up at the glass skylight above his head that was constantly pouring rain, "The water hasn't accumulated here, it's just because we're at the relatively upturned end right now. At the other end, perhaps even part of the third floor has been submerged in the seawater. โ€

"Understood, it's been another sleepless night." Yuan Sui stripped off the raincoat that was in the way, threw aside the military jacket that was at least three times heavier, twisted the hem of his soaked shirt with both hands, and muttered with dodging eyes, "I always disliked our military uniforms before, but only designed for women to be dark inside and out, and it looks like a mushy lump from a distance." Now I know the good intentions of those who make decisions. โ€

"What's this, the people in the same group are all in a fateful relationship, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Kong Zhongsi paused in Ling Shucheng's slightly questioning gaze, "It's not like Shucheng yet...... Those who have been married may not be able to fully understand it. โ€

"In short, it's all kinds of inconveniences as a girl." Knowing that all the comforting words had been repeated several times along the way, Yuan Sui brushed his messy hair with both hands, and had to change the topic stiffly, "So where are we going to search next?" โ€

"Unfortunately, we don't know much about the design of the Zhan Hao. I guess he doesn't have a detailed floor plan of the city either. Fortunately, Kong Zhongsi has also seen strong winds and waves, and basically controlled his emotions well, "Although all ships are basically designed according to a template, they all have their own characteristics, and we may not be able to find what we want quickly." โ€

"Shall we look separately or together?" Yuan Sui looked around and shook his head again, "I still suggest that we don't separate too much, otherwise once we are completely separated, even if we carry a communication device to maintain contact, we can't accurately describe where we are." After all, if you look at the state around you, it's not easy to tell the difference between up, down, left, and right. โ€

"Our goal was to find the birth records and laboratory research data inside the Zhan Xu, so we made it a priority to try to find a laboratory site and archives. Generally speaking, laboratories are generally located in relatively closed parts of the hospital, which are relatively easy to find than files that can be stored at will. Ling Shucheng had been staring at Kong Zhongsi's bloodshot eyes all the time, but at this moment, he had to subconsciously glance at Yuan Sui, who was trembling in place, and said hesitantly, "Maybe we should still divide into two ways, I will take ......"

"Yes, the boss took me, Team Leader Kong alone, each along the left and right sides of the boat around a semicircle, starting from the third floor, let's first touch the easy-to-find laboratory together, and then go - ah!" Yuan Sui deliberately misinterpreted Ling Shucheng's meaning without a trace, and rubbed the goosebumps on his hands with a smile, but his lips were cold and pale, "I'm sorry, it's really still ...... Ahh โ€

"It's okay, finding the archives must be a more time-consuming project, and at least it won't make us gain nothing." Kong Zhongsi nodded, "After finding what you need, immediately take a picture and send it to Team Leader Ling, and then burn it on the spot, right?" โ€

"Yes." Yuan Sui glanced deeply at Ling Shucheng beside him, and continued to smile and said, "In order to ensure safety, we should not be too far apart, and it is best to contact us directly at any time by shouting loudly...... Lest you have any problems, this ship is about to sink. โ€

"Okay, I hope everything goes well." The corners of Kong Zhongsi's mouth were also reluctantly curved, and he turned to look at Ling Shucheng, probably waiting for him to finally decide.

"So be it." The illumination range of the flashlight was far from enough, and the surrounding space was still dimly lit, Ling Shucheng made eye contact with him, but only saw his dark shadow under the other party's eyes.
