Just when the fish-man was full of love and silently pursued the beauty snake, at the same time, the fish-man and mermaid who knew them from afar were not so happy.
Zhou Chennai was a colleague of Zhao Muhan, his deputy to be exact, but he was quite dissatisfied with the position. If it were possible, he would even prefer to never intersect with Zhao Muhan. Zhou Chen, who has a prominent background, can be called a good son with both civil and military skills and a personable demeanor, and he should be the proud son of the sky who has attracted much attention from the golden spoon, and has enjoyed endless glory all his life.
However, he met Zhao Muhan, a Zhao Muhan whose family background was inferior to him and his appearance was not inferior to him, but he repeatedly surpassed him at work. From that moment on, he, who was admired by thousands of people, was reduced to a foil. Zhou Chen's frustration is indescribable.
The expedition is a unit attached to the military department and is considered the hottest and most dangerous department. Only the most remarkable fishmen will be able to enter this special unit.
Zhou Chen and Zhao Muhan entered the expedition in the same year, but the difference is that Zhou Chen was recommended to enter by virtue of his family relationship, and his goal was to use it as a springboard to enter the military world. And Zhao Muhan relied on his own ability to get the admission ticket.
Unlike Zhou Chen's situation, Zhao Muhan was born in an ordinary family and has no power or power. But he was physically fit and trained hard. And he performed well in all the major competitions he participated in, and deservedly won the first place. Although he doesn't say much, he has a good relationship with his colleagues. With his own efforts, he quickly rose to the rank of captain.
If he met Zhao Muhan at another time and place, Zhou Chen would definitely be in awe of him. Unfortunately, not only did they join the expedition in the same year, but they were also assigned to the same squad.
Although Zhou Chen was not born in the military, he was the heir of the family since he was a child and received advanced training under the arrangement of his elders. Whether it is force or resourcefulness, he is an outstanding presence among the younger generation. At the same time, Zhao Muhan is one of the elites selected and cultivated by the military department from various armies. Neither of them is an ordinary person, so since joining the expedition, they have attracted attention from all sides. Since they were assigned to the same squad, people inevitably began to compare them.
Although Zhou Chen's conditions were not inferior to Zhao Muhan's, or even better, he lacked experience in surviving in the wild. In contrast, Zhao Muhan has experienced various hardships and obstacles, so he has a slight advantage in this regard. Therefore, while Zhou Chen is not inferior in other aspects, he is rated relatively poor in comparison. Although Zhou Chen felt depressed, he did not hate Zhao Muhan because of this. He began to train and perform tasks harder, but Zhao Muhan did not slack off either. Therefore, the gap between the two remains.
In the case of Zhao Muhan, Zhou Chen is always second. Regardless of the competition, this has not changed. This made Zhou Chen feel frustrated. He once looked down on Zhao Muhan and thought that his status was higher than that of this soldier from the grassroots. However, now, he has been completely suppressed and has lost the opportunity to overtake. Zhou Chen's self-confidence was severely hit, and his feelings for Zhao Muhan gradually became complicated. He maintained a friendly attitude in front of Zhao Muhan, but the occasional emotion showed that he was dissatisfied with Zhao Muhan. Zhao Muhan naturally would not actively get close to a person who had a cold attitude towards him, so although the two got along well on the surface, they rarely interacted in private.
Sometimes, jealousy can stem from trivial things, but many people often fail to look at these emotions rationally.
In this expedition, Zhao Muhan and Zhou Chen led the team to the sea area of number 039. They have already made several explorations and are already familiar with the topography of the sea. Since the sea was not very dangerous, they decided to explore it in small groups. There were ten people in total, and they were divided into five groups. Everyone else has found a partner, so Zhao Muhan and Zhou Chen were assigned to the same group.
Although Zhou Chen was reluctant to act with Zhao Muhan, he couldn't help but cooperate. Because Zhou Chen was more proficient in the use of expedition equipment, except for the harpoon that Zhao Muhan carried with him, other tools were placed in a small submarine and Zhou Chen was responsible for safekeeping.
In the sea area that Zhao Muhan and Zhou Chen were responsible for exploring, a group of sharks appeared. During the investigation, Zhao Muhan was attacked by a carnivorous fish, resulting in injuries, and the sharks were attracted to blood and gathered. He asked for help, but Zhou Chen left unexpectedly, leaving Zhao Muhan behind.
Soon after, Zhou Chen regretted his decision, but when he returned to the scene, Zhao Muhan was gone, and the sharks had left. Zhou Chen began to realize the seriousness of the problem and worried that Zhao Muhan might have disappeared or been killed. He decided to deliberately mislead the search team so that Zhao Muhan's disappearance would not be revealed. Although his superiors only punished Zhou Chen lightly, he knew his crime in his heart.
Zhou Chen tried to contact his family for help, but received no news. Gradually, he began to calm down and return to training. Without Zhao Muhan, he felt no longer inhibited, and firmly believed that his choice was correct.
On the other hand, Zhao Muhan, accompanied by the beautiful snake, lived a free life on the island and forgot the return mission. Although he had time to complete the mission, he began to explore the uncharted seas and record the situation along the way, which will greatly help him in his future work. He did not admit that he had forgotten his official duties.
Zhao Muhan and the beauty snake had a good time, enjoying fishing and barbecue. However, they noticed a large shadow approaching in the distance. Zhao Muhan asked the beauty snake, but the beauty snake told him not to worry. Despite this, Zhao Muhan was still vigilantly watching, and when the shadow gradually cleared, he was surprised to find that it was a huge creature.
