The "culprit" who led to the complete closure of Modo City, Grote Moken,

In the period after the mysterious disappearance, the only clue actually appeared in room 402 of the meltwater apartment, where strange creatures were infested.

At the same time, a large number of fragments of ruins were found in the room.

The traces are strung together, and the contours of the truth gradually begin to become absurd and terrifying, making people afraid to get closer, afraid to lift the final veil and face some kind of horror that may eventually appear.

Even Meng Lei began to have some uneasy thoughts in his heart, feeling that this matter was full of weirdness.

"Benefactor, the situation here is really too strange, or ...... Shall we call the police?"

Through the discussion of Meng Lei and others, at this time, Serge already had a general understanding of the ins and outs of the matter.

After thinking about it, this matter is very important, so he once again admonished.

After all, things have developed to this point, and it is not only in terms of the potential safety hazards in Modo City, if that monster really has some kind of relationship with Grote Moken, then the severity of this matter is unimaginable!

"Call the police?! What are we going to say if we call the police?!"

Zhang Chao sneered and frowned in response, "Say that we are a group of stowaways who have found an unknown monster in an apartment that has been vacant for a long time? And that monster, could it be the mayor's eldest son?! Who would believe that?! When the time comes, the Moken family will easily let us go?"

Zhang Chao's words expressed the hidden worries in everyone's hearts.

These people present all have similar concerns in their hearts at the moment, and they don't know what to do in the face of this situation.

"But if you don't tell the story, whatever happens in the end, the result will only be worse than it is now! It's better to take the initiative to call the police and make things clear!"

Serge still insisted, feeling that it was not a way to keep it like this, and that the matter would eventually be revealed.

Instead of passively accepting the investigation after the incident, it is better to take the initiative and assist the Modo City officials to investigate the matter clearly.

Several people had different opinions, and they couldn't hold each other for a while, and they all had their own opinions.

In the end, the eyes around him were still focused on Meng Lei, and the decision was in Meng Lei's hands.

"Commander, what the hell are you going to do?"

Meng Lei frowned and groaned for a long time, paced back to the hall of apartment 402, shrunk himself into the sofa, and thought while smoking.

After a long time, he finally made a decision and spoke:

"Don't talk about this for the time being, no one is allowed to say it, if nothing else happens before we leave Modo City, then wait until we leave safely, and if there are other situations in the meantime, we will see the move, no matter what, first complete the most important goal at hand, and then talk about the rest."

For several vessels, including the Sea Locust, it takes about three or four days to complete the repair and maintenance work.

Ship repair is a big deal, and if the ship is not repaired, any follow-up plan of action is empty talk.

Meng Lei did not want the progress of the ship repair to be affected by any external factors, so he planned to hide this matter for the first time and wait until the repair work was all settled. ….

In addition, Grote Moken is the only survivor of the investigation team that has returned from the Eastern Abyss.

And in the clues found at the scene, there are a large number of fragments of the ruins and structures.

This is very likely to prove that the last major earthquake was caused by the excavation of the ruins, and at the source of the epicenter, there was an alien ruin.

Even if there are no ruins, eighty percent of them are related to ruins.

Combined with Roger's "key" theory and the traces of the future soothsayer, Meng Lei had to suspect that Grote Moken and the strange large creature before him had some connection with the so-called "key".

If this matter is done, it is interfered by the officials of Modo City and the Moken family,

Then the ownership of the final "key" is likely to be lost with him

and thus miss the opportunity to save Enron and the rest of the Heavy Fleet.

Therefore, Meng Lei planned to investigate secretly on his own first, and if it was really unreasonable in the end, he would ask for help from the Moduo City officials.

"Let's disperse first, and continue to follow the plan agreed upon tomorrow, just as if none of this happened tonight, and rot in the stomach for the time being!"

The clue is broken at this point, and there will be no new results if the discussion continues.

In addition, it was also very late, Meng Lei admonished, and waved his hand to disperse everyone, letting everyone go to rest first.

Then, he looked at Serge, who was haunted by his face and hesitating in the corner, and said in a deep voice:

"Tonight's matter, I hope you can keep your mouth shut, the main purpose of our group of people coming to Modo City is just to go to the colony of Barona, your identity and role must be very clear to you, the reason why I am willing to take the risk and ransom you out by gambling is also because time is pressing, I don't want to waste too much time in finding a guide, that's all."

Hearing this, Serge nodded again and again, and hurriedly responded:

"Understood, understood! Thank you for the rescue, I won't tell you about tonight, so you can rest assured!"

"Hmm."

Meng Lei snorted and continued to add:

"Next, in the period before we go to sea, you don't run around, stay with us all the time, and when you come back from the colony of Barona, we will write off the account of 50,000 marks, and it will all be your labor expenses, no problem, right?!"

Serge is a gambler himself, and in the end, Meng Lei is still a little uneasy about him.

If this guy is let go, once he hides, it will not be so easy to find someone, so Meng Lei must control him firmly.

At first, Serge was a little reluctant to Meng Lei's controlling behavior.

But thinking of the group of guys under Meng Lei, none of them looked like fuel-efficient lamps, and their temperament was more timid than that of pirates.

In addition, the conditions proposed by Meng Lei are also quite lenient.

Just one trip to the sea, he wrote off the account of 50,000 marks, such a bold stroke, more than he used to earn in a month of exhaustion, where is there any reason to refuse?

It's just a restriction of freedom for a few days, and it's nothing compared to the final gains. ….

Originally, he was worried that Meng Lei would use this gambling account as an excuse to blackmail him into doing something.

But now it seems that everything is too much for him.

Therefore, Serge nodded excitedly, and promised with a mouthful: "Thank you benefactor, thank you benefactor, all listen to you, I will definitely not run around these days, just stay with you."

After a pause as a sign of loyalty, he added:

"By the way, benefactor, I don't think you are a regular visitor to Modo City, you shouldn't know much about this place, if you need to, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but if you want to find someone in the city to do something, I will definitely not do it!"

Meng Lei smiled noncommittally, then bowed slightly, patted Serge's shoulder lightly, and said:

"Yes, I'm optimistic about you!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and instructed Serge, "Okay, let's go rest first, there will be a lot of work in the next few days."

Serge nodded and retreated, he didn't dare to be disobedient to Meng Lei, the gold master.

After Serge left, Meng Lei found Zhang Chao again and chatted with him alone.

Finally, he advised:

"After the 402 apartment is cleaned, leave the two brothers there, that pipe should be very important to Grote, and will not be discarded easily, if this matter is really related to him, I suspect he may turn back and kill a horse pistol.

When the time comes, once any suspicious targets appear, don't hesitate to take them down directly, and control the people first!"

Zhang Chao nodded emphatically, patted his chest and promised:

"Don't worry, Commander, this matter

Leave it to me, as long as that guy shows up, I can't let him run away!"

Zhang Chao's ability to do things is obvious to all, and Meng Lei will not have any doubts about his guarantee.

That night, room 402 of the Meltwater Apartment was packed.

After going through so many things these days, everyone is tired and not so particular anymore, so they sleep directly with their clothes.

Including the 401, which has been cleaned, there are also a few people living in it.

Anyway, the door was forcibly broken, and it was not in vain, and it was also an endless trouble to go back and fight with the landlord, so it was better to rent it directly tomorrow, and there would be any changes in the province.

The next day.

The already chaotic biological clock did not provide wake-up service in time, and when Meng Lei woke up, it was already close to noon.

Under the leadership of Serge, everyone casually found a nearby restaurant and had a simple bite to eat.

Subsequently, the group came to the electronics store and equipped Zhang Chao with a handheld tablet to facilitate communication between the two teams.

Then the crowd went their separate ways and went their separate ways.

Zhang Chao took people to the shipyard and was responsible for continuing to deal with the maintenance of the submarine, putting this matter in place as soon as possible, starting construction in time, and shortening the construction period.

With the help of Serge, Meng Lei managed to find a few buyers in the city, and sold the materials in the cabin for cash, filling his shriveled wallet.

It's hard to move an inch without money, and this sentence is universal everywhere.

I have to say that with Serki, a local guide in Modo City, the efficiency is indeed amazing, far from being comparable to Hans's half-tour guide. ….

Things that needed to be explored on their own and might not be able to be handled in a day were all taken care of around the evening.

The four submarines that the fleet carried into the city's warehouses carried all the food supplies added up to nearly 1.1 million marks!

And this batch of supplies is only one-tenth of the total material reserves on the Nia transport ship.

I have to say that the sacking of the thalamic transport ship was the biggest gain in the first half of the voyage.

And when he saw that Meng Lei was selling million-level materials, Serge was a little dazed, he didn't expect that his net worth as a life-saving benefactor was so strong.

Through the bet between Meng Lei and DeWitt before, although Serge had already guessed in his heart, Meng Lei was definitely a big man.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to put down the bet of 100,000 marks lightly.

But after a day of contact, he had to admit that he had underestimated Meng Lei before.

Under the control and jurisdiction of the alliance, which almost monopolizes all walks of life, it not only has a fleet of four F-class submarines, but also hoards a large number of food supplies that the alliance is trying to control, and the transaction volume is millions.

With such a large net worth, Serge almost thought that Meng Lei and the others were members of a large pirate organization and had just ransacked an official ship.

It wasn't until later that Meng Lei and the others inadvertently brought up the topic of fleet development and crossing the crowd.

Serge suddenly realized that these people were actually the rumored Blue Star players.

For a while, the strong curiosity replaced the doubts in his heart, and Serge followed Meng Lei's side, constantly asking Huo Ye and the others about Blue Star.

After going back and forth, everyone quickly became acquainted, and Serge successfully integrated in, mingling with the people of the voyage fleet.

After disposing of the materials hoarded in the cabin and cashing in all the goods, the group began to wander around the eastern part of Modo City, hoping to find the clues mentioned in the prophecy of the soothsayer Edith.

Unfortunately, even after walking through the streets and alleys of the eastern part of the city, everyone did not find any clues related to the keyword "conch".

The aftermath of the flooding of the city has not yet been dealt with, and much of the city is still in shambles.

And, as the lockdown became longer and longer, a very vague restlessness began to spread in the city.

There are more and more incidents of fights and even fights, the atmosphere of repression and impetuosity is raging, the stability of the social structure is gradually turbulent, and the mentality of the people is becoming more and more uneasy.

These changes are very obvious, and when you walk down the street, you can perceive a feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Relatively speaking, the only relatively benign development is the frequent hallucination events that occurred before, and it seems that the frequency has suddenly decreased since last night.

In the course of one day today, there were only two or three hallucinations in the city.

Compared with the situation in the previous days, there has been a noticeable improvement.

Meng Lei and the others walked around the city for a day, and they were never attacked by the hallucination phenomenon again, and they were safe and sound along the way.

In the end, seeing that the investigation was making no progress, Meng Lei did not intend to waste any more time.

Taking advantage of this free time before going to bed, Meng Lei had nothing to do, and was ready to use the advantage of the golden finger to make more extra money before leaving Moduo City.

So, accompanied by Serge, an old gambler, Meng Lei frequently visited various casinos in the living area of Modo City, no matter how big or small, almost all of them were visited.

And the final harvest is also shocking.

Serge accompanied him throughout the whole process, and when he finally returned to the apartment, he was completely confused.

He watched Meng Lei take out 100,000 marks as chips, and after a few hours, the cash in his personal account had already swiped nearly 5 million marks!

That's a fifty-fold increase!
