85 A Certain Weekend Trip (3)

Qin Shiwu was so drunk that he was unconscious and did not cause trouble for Liu Yi and Lu Fei's itinerary. On this unknown island, you only need to brush Professor Xu Tian's face anywhere.

    Here, as the captain said, there are pure beaches and tall coconut trees. The seaside is a simple barbecue grill with smoke and young people playing in swimsuits. The trestle bridge connects the tall houses in the sea, and the breeze blows easily to the city. The smoky miasma of the sky, looking very far, the clear water seems to be transparent.

    It is indeed a good place for vacation. It is not inferior to places like Bali or Maldives. It must be nice to be able to sit side by side with Lu Fei on the beach and enjoy the sea view-provided that you can ignore the piers, docks and docks not far away Huge hull of unknown model.

    "This place is located in the South Indian Ocean," Professor Xu Tian explained. "It is 6,000 kilometers away from the nearest land. International routes rarely pass. It is a vast ocean that human beings have so far lacked understanding. Few countries waste precious valuables. Satellite surveillance of this area is perfect as our secret base."

    "Aren't you afraid of being caught by chance?" Liu Yi couldn't help but look out when he set up a pergola. Professor Xu Tian picked them up in a sightseeing car commonly seen by the sea. The convertible had a roof made of palm leaves. It was that simple. The professor's assistant is in charge of driving the car. He is a sturdy black man who can speak a lot of Chinese. If the speed is not very fast, the basic conversation is fine.

    "We have prepared other countermeasures, which are almost guaranteed to be foolproof," the old man said, "Captain Qin told me that you intend to join us?"

    "Yes."

    "In order to strengthen our strength, we look for possible partners all over the world every year. Qin Shiwu is responsible for this. As usual, three referrals at or above the sub-director level are required to recommend separately," Professor Xu Tian said, "or through Selection. Generally speaking, the recommended candidates are more likely to be like-minded with us, such as you, Xiao Liu."

    "Me? I don't seem to have three referees. Captain Qin and you are only two."

    "Yes, in addition to Captain Qin and I, there is a branch minister who also recommended you," the old man said proudly. "Furthermore, even if there is no third person, based on the weight of my words, wouldn't it be worth two points? Minister?"

    His assistant interrupted, "But you can't have an extra chicken drumstick for dinner."

    "Rosé," Xu Tian said angrily, "drive carefully, otherwise you will clean the toilet next week."

    The black guy turned his head away depressed: "But Irene did not let you eat more. It was different when Captain Qin came last time. She would pile his plates as high as the mountains in my hometown."

    "Where is the mountain from your hometown!"

    "Yes, Professor, Mount Kibo on Kilimanjaro..."

    "Shut up! I really want you to—"

    "They are doing it for you, professor," Lu Fei said, "just like me, for the sake of your body and the sports you love, eating must be strictly controlled."

    The girl is not particularly beautiful, but her words are always difficult to refuse. Probably because she hasn't lost the innocence and innocence of a child, and she already understands the cruelty and hardship of the adult world, right? Liu Yi thinks so. Professor Xu Tian can't resist anyway, and she loses his temper when she says it.

    But who is the third person to recommend him? Qin Shiwu ranks as a sub-director in this unknown organization, and his status or talent is comparable... Is there anyone around him?

    He asked the professor a question, but the answer was: "According to the safety rules and confidentiality regulations, even if you join us, there is no comment."

    "Actually, the professor doesn't..." The black guy didn't finish speaking, and was stared at by the old man, and swallowed the last half of the words abruptly.

    "Anyway," the professor coughed a few times, supported his black-rimmed glasses, and used his fingers to sort out the few hairs left in the wind. "I understand your questions. You two hope to save Miss Lu Fei. I feel the same for my brother. In fact, in order to join us, it is not enough to recommend it, and it needs to be tested."

    "Meaning, I must join before I will tell me the matter?" Liu Yi frowned.

    The old man sternly said: "No, you misunderstood, Xiao Liu. The contributions you and Miss Lu Fei made to our research alone are enough to know most of our secrets. For your safety, I had to Relevant information has been shielded. Although the heavenly dynasty is the safest country in the world, its opponents are more brutal than imagined. We must ensure that nothing is lost."

    The sightseeing car drove off the beach at this time and shuttled through the rainforest. The sunlight passes through the tall tree trunks, forming a flickering grating on the road. From here, the sea becomes dazzling and sparkling.

    "Thank you." Liu Yi thanked him sincerely. The jewelry they gave was a bit ugly, but it worked well—though I never used it once. This thing, like nuclear weapons, is most useful when it is not in use.

    About five minutes later, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the lush rain forest quickly receded behind him. Most of the buildings that appeared in the field of vision had silver-gray outer walls and avant-garde shapes like rocket launch centers, but there were also a few antique buildings that made Liu Yi's illusion. Being in heaven.

    No sensing equipment or probes were found, and there was no guard that could be spotted at a glance, but Liu Yi knew that the guard was heavily guarded here. After they parked the car, Professor Xu and Rossi led them into a building that looked like a huge cruise ship.

    "This is where the command center, research institute, warehouse, and test site are located. The living area is on the other side of the island," said the old man. "There are currently six thousand people living on the island."

    "Half of them are fighters," the black guy added. "In addition to their families, there are fewer than 300 researchers."

    "Yeah." Liu Yi said casually, his attention focused on the corridors and the rooms on both sides. The building looks like a cruise ship, and the inside is like an old-fashioned submarine. The top of the passage and the walls on both sides are covered with pipes, valves and wrenches, and the layout is unimaginable.

    Even this narrow passage, barely enough for two people to walk side by side, was like a maze. Having said that, I have walked a lot, why didn't I see anyone else inside? For such a large building, among other things, there are not a few clerks walking around to clean...

    It suddenly went black, and the lights in the entire building seemed to go out at the same time. An accident happened. Liu Yi hugged Lu Fei beside him: "Professor?"

    There was no response, only the sound of footsteps hurrying away, and then the door opened and closed heavily. what happened? Liu Yi's first thought was to be deceived, and all kinds of conspiracies that he was accustomed to rushed into his heart. There is no good thing in the dark. Now he is far away on the island where he is unfamiliar with his life. He knows nothing about his body and his knowledge about Professor Xu Tian. He is annoyed by his indiscretion.

    It doesn’t matter if you fall into the trap by yourself, but now I’ve caught up with Lu Fei...

    "Let's get out quickly." The girl said softly, pulling on the corner of his clothes.

    Calm, it's useless to regret now, anxiety will only hurt two people, and AL is still in hand. But when it comes to someone else's territory, it's hard to say who AL will help. He opened his eyes as hard as he could, to no avail, without a trace of light, they became blind.

    "I know," Liu Yi tried his best to make his voice sound calm, but his heartbeat couldn't slow down. "I'm here to find the way. Hold me and don't let go."

    Unexpectedly, Lu Fei said again: "No need to find, just follow me. I remember how to get out."

    Even with lighting, Liu Yi didn't dare to say that he could find a way out through this complicated passage. This kid is really amazing. Although it may not be useful if you go out, it is better than being blinded by a black light, and you have to be clear about it.

    The warm little hand caught the palm, calluses on the palm and fingertips. Unbelievable, when Lu Fei held his hand, he became calmer in a blink of an eye.

    However, before taking two steps, there was a sound of friction between machinery and metal, and the two screamed out "badly" together. Sure enough, as they had heard, an originally opened hatch closed in the dark, reaching out and knocking, the echo was dull, it was not difficult to imagine the thickness of the door.

    Are they going to trap us here? But why do you need so much trouble? There are too many simpler ways.

    "This is over," Lu Fei squeezed his hand slightly harder, "What shall we do?"

    Sitting still is the worst policy. As the captain, he often has to convince people around him that he doesn't believe in news, and it's the same now. "Let's go back," he pretended to be confident, "I don't know what happened. It may just happen that the power went out. Maybe there is another way."

    Supporting each other, the two groped against the wall in the dark. Strangely speaking, following the old man and the black guy just now, the passages that he passed through were like cobwebs, and there seemed to be no other fork in the way forward.

    They soon ran into a dead end. I shouldn't miss the other path. I encountered a closed hatch in front of me. I tried to push it, but it didn't move. Just after hesitating whether to go back and find their way again, behind them there was a light noise of gears biting, and the flowing breath told them that their retreat had been blocked. After walking back along the wall for ten steps, the obstacles hit by the head on proved it. It was a whole piece of metal wall, even a mosaic pattern and a reinforced rivet could not be touched. It was impossible to get out from here.

    It was a good time, trapped in a narrow space less than ten meters long and two shoulders wide. Helping Lu Fei to the previous hatch, Liu Yi did not say anything, Lu Fei preemptively said: "I am not afraid. And I want to follow. So, don't say sorry."

    This sentence gave Liu Yi so much comfort that Lu Fei herself could never imagine. He leaned on the hatch, fumbled and cupped her face: "No regrets?"

    She stood on tiptoes and held Liu Yi’s face in the same way: “Like the first glass of wine I drank, it smelled very good, but it was astringent and bitter in the mouth, but then it was sweet and full-bodied. It’s beautiful to swallow, and I continue to recall, even if it’s still bitter, but I just want to have another bite. I...no matter what I will encounter, I don’t regret it at all."

    The tender body in his arms was gradually softening. Knowing that he was in danger, Liu Yi still bent down to kiss her.

    At this moment, the hatch opened.
