Chapter 421: Honolulu
After a storm, Hawaii's blue skies are exceptionally clear.
As she sailed forward, you could barely see islands large and small, but the Ruby slowed down and slowly stopped as it approached Oahu.
Tourists who are sightseeing on the ship, or waiting to get off the ship, some people are puzzled to see the warship leaving the port in the distance from the port side, and you can see a heavy aircraft carrier piloted by the warship in the distance, the huge hull is still quite conspicuous on the vast ocean water, compared to the destroyers and military auxiliary ships that hug the front and back look like toys, and the scene of many ships leaving the port to the east is spectacular, attracting everyone to take pictures and videos.
This time, the cruise ship docked in Hawaii for only a few hours, and tourists who didn't have time to visit Pearl Harbor were feasted on at this time.
After a while, as the ship gradually disappeared from sight, the cruise ship entered the car again and set sail; With a nimble guide dinghy leading the way, and two high-powered tugboats on standby, the Ruby slowly approached the beautiful island of Oahu with a huge milky white hull with a bright red color, sailed east along the predetermined course, and then turned northeast into the internationally famous and busy deep-water port:
Honolulu.
As a series of islands scattered in the North Pacific Ocean, although Oahu is not the largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, the port conditions are excellent, Pearl Harbor in the south of the island is a natural deep-water harbor, as the home port of the US Pacific Fleet, civilian ships are not allowed to enter in peacetime; Honolulu Harbor, located on the southeast corner of the island, was actually better sheltered from the wind than Pearl Harbor in October, so it was only natural that the Ruby needed to dock here.
As a giant cruise ship on international routes. There weren't many ports of call on the Ruby's voyage. After a short stop in Hawaii, the tour will depart in the evening. In other words, apart from tourists who end their trip here and get off the boat to leave, there is very little time for anyone else to go ashore for sightseeing.
As the cruise ship docked at the pier, disembarking tourists took the elevator to step onto the overpass from the side of the board; Dressed in casual attire, Marconon strolls with a leather bag in his hand, paying attention to the movements around him while introducing the customs and nature of Oahu to the bewitching woman with a swaying gait beside him.
From a high place, you can see the glass-domed passenger bridge from a distance, and the tourists inside are bustling and hurrying, Long Yun, who was sitting on the top deck viewing area, found Ma Kenong's figure with extraordinary eyesight, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and motioned to Shangguan Ling beside him to take a look.
"Oh? That person. He's going to get off the boat? ”
Although he also has a vision close to 2.0, he can't compare it with Long Yun, Shangguan Ling's watery apricot eyes looked at it carefully, and then he asked a little puzzled.
"yes. I don't know if he planned it in the first place, or if he left because things didn't go well. ”
"Did you go to war before? That's too dangerous, Long Yun, don't do such a risky thing. ”
Su Xue, who was sitting on the other side of Long Yun holding a water glass, probably knew about the conversation between Ma Conong and Long Yun before, she frowned slightly, and was a little worried and reminded him again.
"Ah, of course. I don't like to take risks. He has no particular interest in fighting wars. ”
After saying this, I probably felt that I was lying, and it was not convincing enough. Long Yun summoned Su Xue through the guò consciousness connection again:
- Why, you're worried that I'm really going to war?
- Well, of course, it's terrible to think about; Even though it's in the sky, I think it's dangerous.
- That's right. But I don't plan to go to the Middle East for money to stir up that troubled water, and besides, if you want to fight an air war, isn't there enough fighting in the parallel world?
Unconsciously said what was in his heart, but Long Yun touched a thought in his subconscious: Recently, he didn't travel to the war-torn parallel world, because he experienced too many things on the journey and was too busy? Or after so many intense air battles, I am already a little tired of this kind of life.
- Well, that's right. I'm a little relieved when I say that.
- Originally, don't worry, hehe.
After a brief exchange, Long Yun's mind turned to the thought just now, he began to feel that it had been too long since the last time he crossed over, and he didn't know what the situation was in that parallel world. In the real world, they do not participate in wars, but they still have to fight in parallel worlds; In addition, even if the parallel world has nothing to do with reality, he still has the responsibility to shoulder as Viktor Rezenov.
Well, I'll travel over tonight, after all, there's still a lot of work to do with the "Blackbird"!
After thinking for a while, he made a decision, and at this time, Long Yun didn't know that the idea he had just had would soon be proven completely wrong.
Immersed in their own thoughts, neither Long Yun nor the two girls present noticed that in the viewing area where tourists kept coming and going, Wang Weiguo's figure quietly appeared not too far away. Looking down from afar, too, casually, seeing Marconon disembarking and leaving, the calm-looking man habitually raised his hand to stroke the wing of his nose, and then reached into his arms again, took out the slender cigarette in the cigarette case and put it in his mouth.
The habit of developing over the years, turning off the slight prompt sound of the wristband, Wang Weiguo patiently put down the idea of smoking, but his eyes swept over the place where Long Yun and the others were sitting. Seeing that there seemed to be two absent-minded tourists not far away, it should be someone sent by Guoan, he once again returned his gaze to Long Yun, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
It seems that the man's lobbying failed!
But he didn't know what his mission would be, or what would happen to him after listening to those words.
……
At 6 p.m. local time in Hawaii, the Ruby slowly left the dock after completing the boarding and landing of passengers and the replenishment of oil, water and supplies, and began the second half of the ocean journey as night fell.
On Oahu, where the sun has replaced the night, in the high-rise rooms of the Iberia Hotel by the sea, with a good view, Marconon in plaid pajamas taps to the enclosed balcony with soft wool slippers. Reaching through the curtains to slightly block the sound of running water from the bathroom. With a bit of a lazy look. His voice was unusually calm at the moment:
"Ahh Oh, yes. Just got off the boat today and it was ok. - But things are not going well, I don't think it's possible! By the way, do you want to investigate the guy named Long Yun again, he gives me a very unsimple feeling, as if there is something hidden? - Yes, yes, so don't wait any longer, let them go first. Isn't it good to have money early when you join the company? ”
Ma Kenon, who had just finished taking a shower, was talking to the computer with headphones on at this time. After staying at the Iberian Hotel, he had to go through a lot of effort to check his suite, connect to the Internet and set up an encrypted channel, and was talking to the domestic liaison office of the defense business company under the "Kunpeng" company. This cruise trip was supposed to be a vacation benefit given by the company, with a beautiful pianist on the "Ruby" for fun, and by the way to lobby a talented player to join, what a good thing is - who knows what he thought was a sure thing but not done, does that guy really regard money as dung, or has something else in mind?
There were complicated thoughts in his heart, but Marconon did not pause:
"That's right, it's all arranged and you can go. You can go by civil aviation. When you go to Saudi Arabia, you will contact the local branch to pick you up. - No, no, I would be sorry for this kind of thing? Ace wasn't the only one. Regardless of black cats or white cats, those who can catch rats are good cats! Ha ha! - Okay, that's it, get back in touch! ”
After ending the call with the domestic liaison office, Marconon took a few sips of coffee, when there was a rustling sound in his ears, and then a smooth and white arm was placed on his shoulder.
"Marco, are you busy with official business again?"
"Oh, it's done." Raising his hand to caress the smooth and delicate skin of Wang Yuxiao, who had just come out of the bath, Marconong smacked his lips and thought about it, then clicked on the screen to dial another number, and at the same time stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around the woman's soft waist and let her sit on his lap.
"Hey,—— old horse?"
"I said Lao Liu, haven't slept at this time? I'll just make a call, and you'll be able to pick it up. ”
"What to sleep, there are so many things going on now! If it weren't for the fact that someone was always planning to rob us of people, maybe I would have gone to bed earlier! ”
Hearing the voice of the speaker on the phone, Ma Kenong didn't pay attention to this stubble, but just laughed a few times, "Okay, it's all its own master, and in the end, it's not all a family." But this time I really let you talk about it with a crow's mouth, and I went back empty-handed and touched a nose of ash! ”
"Oh...... You mean, that person? ”
"Yes,—— there's nothing to keep secret! I said, what is the situation with this called Long Yun? Thinking of the scene from the previous meeting, Ma Kenon's imperceptible face changed slightly, "You have a higher level of secrecy over there, is there any special news?" ”
“…… No. ”
"Really? - You can't be fooling me, right? ”
"Who is idle and has nothing to do to trick you, really no!" It seemed that he was an old acquaintance with Marconon, and the speaker's voice paused, "This young man, the resume was still sent by our side, and that's the situation." But about his background......"
Putting his fingers on the headphones and listening carefully for a moment, Marconon did not interject, the look on his face was sometimes puzzled and sometimes dazed, as if he had heard something very difficult to understand and incomprehensible; After a long while, he didn't feel that his thighs had become sore, and he cleared his throat slightly, raised his hand and took another cup and took a few sips of coffee:
"Oh...... That's right. - Well, yes, okay. ”
Putting down the headset and interrupting the communication, his eyes looked at the beautiful night scene outside the window, Ma Kenon's eyes did not move for a long time, and the big hand rubbing the woman's waist also stopped moving. On this cruise, after meeting the young man once, perhaps because of his intuition over the years, he always felt that this person was not simple, or that there seemed to be something hidden behind it; I didn't expect this to be the case, this world is really like a drama.
Isn't it strange and difficult to understand that Lao Liu told him just now, it seems that the person concerned himself is completely unaware? But if you want to say that it's such a kind of life experience-
If you don't know it, maybe it's a kind of luck, maybe it...... (To be continued......)
