Shu Xingbei came towards Fang Shiyun's cabin. He had to talk to Fang Shiyun as soon as possible, so that when the high-level officials of the ark interrogated them, they would not answer each other correctly, so that they would be suspected by Zhao Shangzhi.

Fang Shiyun's hatch was closed, and the guards guarding outside knocked on the door several times, but they didn't knock.

"Do you have a key?" Shu Xingbei had a bad premonition for no reason.

Will Fang Shiyun betray himself? It's hard to say if you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart. But Shu Xingbei immediately ruled out this possibility, because when he asked Fang Shiyun to transport the items salvaged from the ruins to the Sea Eagle Team, he specifically observed Fang Shiyun.

Fang Shiyun still had the joy on his face that couldn't hide something, and he smiled proudly at that time: "What's so good about those towers, the last salvaged items came up, isn't it our Nine Towers?"

The patrol hesitated for a moment, then said yes.

"Open the door," Shu Xingbei urged.

"Yes," the guard stubbornly opened the door with the key. Just as he thought, Fang Shiyun was lying on the bed and sleeping.

"Manager Shu, Vice Minister Fang is resting. You see? The guard smiled, and he wanted to retreat.

These were a limited number of guards left behind by Fang Shiyun, and they were all from the tower. Those who can be left by Fang Shiyun are, of course, Fang Shiyun's henchmen.

"Go over and take a look at the situation," Shu Xingbei's face sank suddenly. His tone also became cold.

He didn't hear Fang Shiyun's breathing, and he couldn't sense Fang Shiyun's heartbeat.

The guard approached Fang Shiyun's bed, only to see that Fang Shiyun's eyes were closed, and his face was a little rusty red, which had turned gray.

"It's not good," the guard stretched out his hand to probe Fang Shiyun's snort, and immediately exclaimed, "Manager Shu, Fang, Minister Fang, he is dead?" ”

Shu Xingbei had already walked to the bed, he looked at Fang Shiyun silently, and also reached out to probe Fang Shiyun's breathing. If it can be cured, it can also snatch Fang Shiyun back from the hands of death as soon as possible.

However, Fang Shiyun's whole body was already cold.

"Manager Shu, Manager Shu, Minister Fang, he, why did he die? The door is still locked, is he committing suicide? The patrol couldn't control his emotions and shouted loudly.

Shu Xingbei turned around and saw a piece of paper on the cabinet next to the bed.

He held it in his hand and saw that it was written: "Manager Shu, I'm sorry, when I was escorting the items, I was intercepted by the pirates, and the salvaged items were all snatched." Only one box of the yellow and clear things remained, plus two boxes of crossbow arrows. I'm sorry. You completed the task of salvaging the ruins, but I messed it up. I knew I was guilty and left one step ahead! I hope that the eldest lady and Vice President Bao can take care of my family and give them a chance to live because of my years of hard work and hard work without merit. ”

"Manager Shu, on it, what's written on it?" The Patrolman asked, looking sad.

Shu Xingbei showed the paper to the patrolman, and then ordered, "Hurry up and report to Vice President Bao."

"Yes," the patrol didn't think much of it, and ran out quickly.

"Lao Fang, I didn't expect your brain to be so flexible. This time it's wrong, it's me," Shu Xingbei muttered in his heart.

It is indeed Shu Xingbei's fault. When Shu Xingbei asked Fang Shiyun to carry a box of Huang Chengcheng's bullets to Mu Feng, Fang Shiyun had already understood Shu Xingbei's plan. These ammunition, Shu Xingbei never thought of handing them over to Fang Ark.

Next, he will inevitably be interrogated by the high-level of the Ark, and he Fang Shiyun thinks that he can't bear it. And betraying Shu Xingbei, the fate waiting for him will not be good.

After all, the patrol forces on the 20th floor are basically under Li Xing's control. And the relationship between Li Xing and Shu Xingbei, does it need to be said?

The two ends are not pleased, and the fate that awaits Fang Shiyun is dead.

Rather than being forced to death, it is better to take the initiative.

Shu Xingbei saw more from that piece of paper. Fang Shiyun was still good to him, and he wanted to excuse him when he was dying.

After a while, Bao Qianjue rushed over with Li Xing and other middle-level cadres. Even the eldest lady got the news and sent Aunt Feng over to take a look at the situation.

Dr. Zhang from the research institute walked over and turned Fang Shiyun's pupils and said, "It's been more than an hour since I took the poison." It's long since I ran out of gas. With that, Dr. Zhang shook his head and walked out.

Bao Qianjue's face was solemn, and after a long time, he looked at Shu Xingbei, "You rushed back as soon as possible, just to ask Vice Minister Fang about the situation?" ”

Shu Xingbei nodded slightly, and followed Bao Qianjue's words and said, "When I saw him transfer the three boxes to Mu Feng in the sea area, I knew that something was wrong. Chased him all the way to the Ark. ”

Bao Qianjue let out a long sigh, "There's no way, I can only report to the captain truthfully." ”

"Since Vice Minister Fang has a request on his deathbed, please also ask Vice President Bao to take proper care of his family," Shu Xingbei felt indescribable guilt in his heart.

He had known that Fang Shiyun would embark on this road, and he should not have asked Fang Shiyun to bring someone over to transfer the relics after he succeeded.

"Fang Shiyun has a cousin on the ark, right? From now on, food and clothing will be rationed according to the standard of middle managers. At the same time, let her transfer to the research institute to work, "Bao Qian's situation is still very well understood.

"Come on, transport Fang Shiyun's body to the research institute, freeze and seal it, don't make any arrangements, and wait for the captain's order to be issued."

Bao Qianjue arranged in an orderly manner, and said to Shu Xingbei: "You go back and rest first." As soon as there is a call, you rush to the first place. ”

"Yes," Shu Xingbei hung his head and walked away silently.

Back in his cabin, Shu Xingbei's mood was extremely low.

"What's wrong?" The red lady asked softly.

"Fang Shiyun is dead, he committed suicide by taking poison," Shu Xingbei's eyes suddenly had tears.

The red lady has a geden in her heart. She immediately realized the reason why Shu Xingbei was depressed.

"Shu Xingbei, there is a saying, although it is difficult to hear, I still have to tell you. This time, even if you hand over all the salvaged items, you will not escape death in the end. Whether it's you or Fang Shiyun," the red lady deliberately pulled Shu Xingbei out of her guilt.

"How?" Shu Xingbei's voice was low.

"If Zhao Shangzhi has the intention to weaken the power of each tower, after the seven towers are sent out, it will be the situation he wants to see the most. At the same time, no matter which tower ends up salvaging items from the ruins, he can say that there is much more to it, that is, if you hand over 37 boxes of ammunition, he will not be satisfied," the red lady said quietly, "This is a dead end." ”

"According to that, Fang Shiyun's suicide is still his best choice?" Shu Xingbei refused to accept the Red Lady's speculation.

"That's it, Shu Xingbei, we'll wait and see. Even if you complete the ruins salvage mission, the other towers haven't been completed, right? Are the other towers responsible for their ineffectiveness? Do they want to be punished? You have completed the salvage task, and there is no strong evidence to prove that you have fished so much, and then someone accuses you of embezzling some of it, is it okay? Don't worry about being sad first, you have to think about how to deal with this dead end," the red lady persuaded bitterly.

Shu Xingbei didn't say anything.

In his opinion, the red lady is trying to persuade him.

"If you want to resurrect Nie Lan, you can't die yourself. How can you fulfill your wishes and ideals when you die? The red lady asked, "As a man, are you going to be crushed by this little setback in front of you?" ”

Shu Xingbei slowly raised his head, and his gaze became bright and clear again. yes, was he just crushed by guilt?

Really speaking, Fang Shiyun's suicide has nothing to do with Shu Xingbei.

He Shu Xingbei did not threaten the other party from beginning to end. His guilt for Fang Shiyun was more because of the piece of paper left by Fang Shiyun.

The Red Lady's words, although they failed to reduce Shu Xingbei's guilt, made him more vigilant.

Thinking about it carefully, if Zhao Shangzhi really wants to weaken the power of each tower, even if he hands over all the salvaged items, what can he do?

"Thank you," Shu Xingbei said sincerely to the red lady.

The red lady saw that Shu Xingbei had regained her spirits, and said softly, "You don't have to thank me. From the moment I was rescued by you, I already knew my fate thoroughly. Speaking of which, you and I, as well as the vast majority of the people on the Ark, are objects that can be sacrificed at any time. During my years in the Tower, I knew this for a long time. Now, all the blood and cruelty of the past are back again. ”

Shu Xingbei took out the gun from his waist and handed it to the red lady, "Keep it for self-defense." ”

The red lady didn't answer this time, "You put it away first." If someone does attack here, I can die at any time. ”

Shu Xingbei was silent.

The cruelty of reality makes him have to face more complicated situations.

All morning, no one looked for Shu Xingbei. Shu Xingbei guessed that it was because several other towers had not yet returned.

In the afternoon, Mu Feng, who was in the sea, finally met the combined forces of the other six towers. More than 700 people, divided into four boats, set out in the direction of the ark.

"Guys, what about your gains?" Mu Feng drove the speedboat over.

"Harvest?" The leaders of the five towers all stood on the deck of the ship at the very front. They had a bitter look on their faces.

"Report to Mr. Mu, we failed in the task of salvaging the ruins on this trip," the personnel who salvaged the ruins died on the island. Even the ship was run away by pirates, and they were able to come back because they called the ship to pick it up.

As for the ruins, they also went. It's a pity that it was clearly swept away, and there was nothing left.

Mu Feng had already learned the situation from Shu Xingbei. Now that he saw the leaders of each tower hanging their heads one by one, how could he not understand the situation.

"Since there is no gain, everyone, come back to the ark with me first, report the situation to the captain, and I will be on a good business," Mu Feng comforted.

The group didn't expect Mu Feng to be so easy to speak, and they were all a little surprised.
