By the time Tang Shuxing woke up, Gaia's body was already soft.

When a person is alive, his body is soft and his heart is hard, but after death, his body is hard and his heart is soft.

When Gaia was alive, her body was as solid as a rock because of her "heart", but what about after she died?

Tang Shuxing got up and stared at Gaia for a long time, only then did he lift the dragon blade and carefully dissect her body, and after the dissection, Tang Shuxing was stunned for a moment, because in addition to body tissues in Gaia's body, there are also sophisticated machinery in it, that is to say, Gaia is an intelligent creature composed of biological machinery, and this kind of technology, new humans have not reached so far.

The real basalt was placed in a strange frame in the heart, still shimmering, changing color every second, from gray to black, from black to white, and then repeating.

Tang Shuxing stretched out his hand to take out the basalt, and he didn't look at it carefully, but just handed it to Ji Kefeng who came over: "Okay, this thing belongs to you, and we have to make up a story about slaying the dragon when we go back, of course the protagonist is you, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Ji Kefeng nodded slightly, and packed the basalt, while Tang Shuxing stood there staring at Gaia, who was gradually rotting up and down after taking the basalt away, and when they were about to change into those weird diving suits and prepare to leave, four things that were exactly the same as Gaia were drilled out of the passage connecting the cave next to them, but in the shape of a small snake.

"That's Gaia's child." Tang Shuxing looked at it and said, "All the eggs she laid are stone eggs, the reason is because of the basalt, now that the basalt is gone, the petrified eggs have returned to normal." ”

"What about these little things?" Ji Kefeng looked at the little Gaia who was squirming around Tang Shuxing's ankles.

"Let it be, fend for itself." Tang Shuxing leaned over, stretched out his hand and touched the four little Gaia respectively, and then jumped straight into the pool.

"Let's go!" After Colin also entered the water, Gu Huaiyi turned around and jumped.

Ji Kefeng stood there, staring at the edge of the waterhole, staring all the time. Little Gaia, who made a low noise, wanted to lean over to touch the little Gaia, who knew that as soon as her hand touched, little Gaia immediately took an attack pose. It seems that they are only close to Tang Shuxing.

"Goodbye, Gaia, thank you......" Ji Kefeng entered the water, but he himself didn't know whether the "thank you" was said to Gaia or to Tang Shuxing.

As Gaia said, they were not attacked by the strange creatures under the water when they wore those weird wetsuits, but instead avoided them. There are no oxygen cylinders, and the so-called helmets are just like ski masks that fit snugly around the face, and oxygen is still pouring in from the notches in the mouth.

The currents at the bottom of the sea are fast. Although they were wearing such clothes, they were still carried by the current and rampage at the bottom of the sea, and after being washed for nearly forty minutes, they didn't know how far they had gone, and Tang Shuxing, who was at the front, began to swim towards the surface of the sea.

When the four of them emerged from the sea. They felt as if they were in the center of the ocean, with no islands or land around them, and it seemed that the currents at the bottom of the sea had washed them very far away from Hashima.

"Hashima seems to be in that direction!" Ji Kefeng pointed to his side, and among the four people, he, the implanter, had the best eyesight.

Tang Shuxing looked at the outline of Hashima, recalled the direction, and then pointed to the other side and said, "Swim over there, the southeast is the direction of the mainland." We should be able to save a lot of effort by wearing such clothes. ”

Although they were tired and out of breath, they did not swim in the direction of land, and once it was night, the temperature of the sea dropped and they were all injured. It was very likely that he would die, so he had to slowly swim towards the southeast according to Tang Shuxing's instructions.

After swimming for nearly an hour, there was still no shadow of land, but a single-trawl diesel fishing boat slowly approached from the opposite side with black smoke, and everyone immediately waved. It was almost time to shoot into the sky to attract the attention of the fishing boat.

The fishing boat soon noticed them, and turned around and headed towards them at a high speed, saying that it was fast, but in their eyes it was like a crawling turtle, and it took about ten minutes for the fishing boat to come by eyeing the close distance.

The fishing boat turned off its engine when it was about ten meters away from them, and slowly drifted along the current, after which a man in a fisherman's suit standing on the boat lowered the lifebuoy tied to the rope and dragged them up one by one.

Tang Shu, who was the first to be dragged on the boat, said thank you, and at the same time felt in his heart that the fisherman's strength was really great, and he easily dragged himself up, but when the fisherman took off the hat and grinned at him, he realized that it was no one else standing in front of him, it was the arms dealer, and it was also the British intelligence agency's undercover agent Quinn who was lurking in the Sharman Company.

"Quinn!?" Tang Shuxing was extremely surprised, "How could it be you?" ”

"How could it not be me?" Quinn smiled and motioned for Tang Shuxing to help drag everyone else up with him, and after Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng got on the boat and found out that it was Quinn, they were also extremely surprised, and they didn't know why he appeared in this place.

Colin looked at Quinn, not knowing who he was, but politely thanking him.

"Don't thank me, thank him." Quinn pointed to the middle-aged man who had come out of the cockpit, holding a large pile of clothes, tanned from top to bottom, and bearded.

Tang Shuxing looked at it fixedly, and after looking at it for a long time, he realized that it was Hawke, and stepped forward to give him a hug.

Hawke threw his clothes on the deck and motioned for the others to change into them.

"Didn't I hear you're in Europe? How did it end up here? Tang Shuxing asked, then turned his head to look at Quinn and said, "Why are you with Quinn?" ”

"Let's change your clothes first, then eat something, we'll check your injuries, and then go see Yue." Hawke didn't say much, and judging from the new scars on his body, he had been through a lot recently.

"What about Keane, Stan, and Tom?" Tang Shuxing put his clothes and weapons in the deep water bag that Quinn had prepared, mixed them with the others, and then added a few pieces of iron and sank into the sea.

"It's not safe up there, go down!" Hawke motioned for Quinn to sail back to the ship, and he led the others out of the cabin.

Entering the bilge, Hawke briefly checked their injuries, because Tang Shuxing, Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng all used the medicine that Gaia said, the injuries didn't matter, but they needed to recover, Hawke just disinfected, sutured and bandaged Colin's wounds again.

"Friends, America is finished. Jason is dead, I'm wanted again, and the situation in Europe isn't ideal, and a lot has happened in less than a week. Hawke wiped his hands when he finished. I took out the drink and drank it slowly.

Tang Shuxing leaned to the side and asked, "What does it mean that the United States is finished?" ”

"The incumbent president compromised, recognized the legal status of Shandu, and privately signed a non-aggression pact with Shandu, recognizing that Shangdu's territorial scope is the whole of Southeast Asia, and now the whole world is in the news." Hawke smiled bitterly, "In Europe, with the UK's referendum to leave the European Union, 'Leaving the European Union' spread like a plague in an instant, and Germany, France, and so on next to each other have announced their departure from the European Union. But then the problem came again: Britain had not joined the eurozone and was using the pound, while Germany and France had replaced the mark and franc with the euro, and now they suddenly broke away. Fear of being dragged down by the EU's economy and reverting to its original currency is also a problem. ”

Hawke was drinking, but his face was already flushed, and he seemed to be anxious: "Take the Deutsche mark, for example, before it was gradually replaced by the euro, the mark had an average inflation rate of 3%, and its value was only a quarter of the original. All of a sudden, the euro is a waste of paper, and the mark returns, which means the collapse of the economy, and the EU member states are in a dilemma, and if you stay, you will die, and if you don't stay, you will die. It's better to quit, give an explanation to the people, and everyone will work hard and fend for themselves. ”

I didn't understand the monetary policy very well, but just asked: "Have Britain, France, and Germany recognized the status of Shangdu?" ”

Britain followed the United States in admitting. It should be said that many countries have admitted it in disguise, and at the same time, they are worried that the people who have infiltrated Shangdu in the top of their country have existed many years ago, and they are also worried that they can no longer control the army, so in order to protect themselves, they can only admit it. Today, the only countries in the world that do not recognize Shangdu and insist that Shangdu are terrorist organizations and cults are China, Russia, France, India, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea, Sweden, Venezuela, and some small countries, which have declared neutrality and shown innocent expressions. Hawke shook his cup, "Brazil is in civil strife, and there is a civil war, because the Brazilian government has even claimed that some new drugs have been medicalized, and they have also been legalized in disguise, and they have also been included in the national tax, which has caused dissatisfaction among people in the country, including a group of drug dealers, and the war is burning instantly, because the government wants to include drug sales in the tax, and the drug dealers will be finished." ”

In Brazil's civil war, the government forces immediately took the upper hand, ** the armed forces claimed that the government was in collusion with the Shandu terrorist organization, and appealed to other countries that did not recognize Shangdu for help, but received no response - who would announce that they would help drug traffickers against the government? Because drug dealers are not motivated by justice either, but simply by profit.

"Venezuela regrets the affairs of Brazil, but it is only watching from the other side of the strait and does not dare to intervene lightly." Hawke's eyes were closed, and he couldn't say any more, "Guess what's the most peaceful place now?" ”

"Africa." Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi said in unison.

"Yes, Africa!" Hawke smiled bitterly, "Bafang and Shaman Power finally put down the rebellion of some small organizations in Africa, unified the whole of Africa, incorporated the armies of various countries and then reorganized, stationed troops around the Suez Canal, Djibouti and Benghazi, worried that Europe would invade, in fact, they did this to resist Shangdu, basically the whole world knows that Bafang and Shaman Power broke with Shangdu." ”

"The powder keg is about to ignite." Gu Huaiyi got up and walked towards the deck, "If the Russian side doesn't hold back for a while, then the Third World War will start." ”

"Don't worry, not for the time being." Hawke looked at everyone, "Led by China and Russia, a combined army called the 'Asia-Europe Peacekeeping Support Force' has been established, which is a good chess game, self-preservation and avoiding many problems at the same time, they should be the last resistance force." ”

"And ......," Hawke added, "Israel sent a note to the U.S. ambassador saying that Israel would declare war on the U.S. if the U.S. became an accomplice to Shando and helped terrorism take root around the world...... I have to say, the Jews did a great job! ”
