, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine!
Eleven o'clock at night.
On the second floor of Rongyan Outpost, the stationmaster's office.
With a cigar in his mouth, Bud paced back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over the various furnishings and ornaments in the house, and a complicated look appeared on his face.
However, the slight change in expression was well covered up by him, and outsiders couldn't notice any difference at all.
"dong dong dong"
There was a knock on the door, and Eddie walked in with a look of exhaustion on his face.
"Mayor, your valuables are all packed, is there anything else that needs to be packed and taken away?"
As early as more than half an hour ago, Eddie began to prepare for evacuation at Bud's request.
Said to be ready,
In fact, there isn't much to sort out either.
For this incident, Bud has been planning for a long time, including some fixed assets in his living area, in fact, the transfer has already been completed.
That is to say, in the office where people come and go every day, there are also some valuables.
Usually, in order to avoid causing suspicion, I did not take it away first.
All things are processed at the last moment.
"Take off the picture on the wall and put it in a separate storage box to take away."
Bud raised his head and sighed:
"This is the work of the abstract master Kazat, and if it is auctioned, it will be worth at least four or five million marks!
In order to win it back then, I paid a lot of money. "
Eddie nodded, but he sneered in his heart.
He couldn't see anything worth appreciating about these abstract paintings, but most rich people liked arty elegance.
I don't know what to think about these garbage, which is no different from the graffiti on the streets, as treasures.
In his heart, Eddie was very conscious, turned around and brought in a white storage box from outside the house, then walked forward, carefully took off a painting hanging on the wall, and put it in gently. in the box.
"By the way, there is also this piece of sea jasmine tea cake, remember to bring it later."
Bud pointed to a ceramic jar in the corner of the filing cabinet again, and said:
"Now that the channel in the deep zone has been completely blocked, until the group of guys in the organization reopens the channel, it is difficult to buy sea jasmine tea with money.
This thing is a treasure now, and it cannot be left here to be buried with the site. "
After speaking, Bud looked around, and suddenly said with a sigh:
"I usually don't think there is anything, but I just found out that I have to leave soon. I have a lot of collections in this room!"
Eddie responded with a slight smile, without saying much.
As Bud's personal secretary, Eddie's wealth accumulated over the years is almost the same.
The head of a small outpost can earn millions of dollars crazily, which is enough to see how corrupt the alliance has become.
This is why Eddie chose to join a separatist organization to promote the establishment of a new democratic regime.
After packing most of the valuable things in the office, Bud looked at Eddie and asked:
"How's the egg collection going? When are you leaving?"
Eddie took a breath and said:
"The first few batches of worm eggs have been packed and shipped to the boat, and now the last batch is left, and we can go on the road as soon as we finish packing."
Bud nodded with satisfaction, the fat on his face piled up, squeezing his eyes into slits.
"good!"
He stepped forward and patted Eddie on the shoulder and smiled:
"Eddie, I've worked hard for you recently. After this incident is over, we'll go to a safe place and give you a few days off to relax and unwind."
Eddie smiled and shook his head:
"This is what I should do, and it's my honor to serve the mayor."
Bud waved his hand and said, "After today, I won't be a mayor anymore. Just call me the boss when I'm outside."
"Yes, boss!"
Eddie nodded heavily, then pointed to a few boxes on the ground, and said, "Then I'll give these things to the security officer to take out. You prepare first, and we'll leave at any time."
"Well, let's go!"
Bud waved his hand.
Eddie himself held the box where the famous paintings were stored, turned and walked out.
However, just as he walked to the door of the office, he was about to raise his hand to open the door.
Suddenly, from the direction of the lower area, there was a violent explosion.
Immediately, the municipal building shook slightly.
A slight tremor was transmitted from the ground, and the entire mountain cavity began to tremble slightly.
Bud's face changed, and he frowned and asked:
"What's the situation? Isn't the battle in the lower zone already over? Where did the explosion happen?!"
Eddie stood on the spot holding the box, but also looked blank.
"I...I don't know either. The painted skin parasites in the city have been completely eliminated, and the battle cannot continue until now."
After a pause, Eddie added:
"Also, this movement doesn't look like a grenade or grenade can cause it, it's just too big.
Could it be... the reactor in the energy district exploded? "
Having said this, Eddie and Bud's faces became extremely ugly at the same time.
The sound of this explosion is really strange. If the reactor is really malfunctioning, then they will be in big trouble!
At the moment, Bud immediately yelled at Eddie:
"Come down and see what's going on!
Also, remember to bring a radiation protection diving suit from the Office of Safety, go! "
The voice fell, without waiting for Eddie to respond.
The next second, another dull explosion sounded, the ground trembled, and the cavity structure of the entire second-floor administrative district began to hum.
In a hurry, Eddie couldn't care about so much at the moment, he threw down the box containing the precious paintings and ran out of the office.
But Bud turned around and walked quickly to the window, and saw the crowd gathered at the entrance of the city hall, all in a panic at the moment.
In fact, the explosion was too sudden, and it was more intense than the sound of battle in the city just now. It was hard not to make people think of bad places.
For the next two minutes or so, explosions from the lower area continued to sound.
That battle seemed to completely destroy the entire melting rock outpost.
The slight tremor was transmitted to all directions through the rock formations, as if an earthquake had occurred, which made people palpitate.
Bud paced back and forth in the command room, anxious like an ant on a hot pan.
Seeing that the plan is about to be completed, I can withdraw immediately.
But at this juncture, there is an unknown change, and this feeling is quite bad.
However, this series of continuous explosions ruled out the possibility of reactor failure.
This made Bud a little more at ease.
In his view, as long as there are no problems with the reactors in the energy zone, the situation should not be too bad.
Time passed slowly in a suffocating restlessness.
About ten minutes later, the office door was pushed open again, and Eddie rushed in with a sad face.
Without waiting for Bud to ask, he shouted first:
"Mayor, it's not good, something happened, something big! We can't leave!"
Hearing this, Bud was shocked and hurriedly asked:
"Tell me slowly, what happened? What happened to the explosion just now?"
Eddie's face was pale at the moment, and the whole person was extremely flustered, and said in panic:
"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!
The security officer who collected the painted worm eggs in the lower area said that the shaft passage was attacked by heavy artillery fire. Someone attacked from the outside and blew the shaft passage down! "
"what?!"
Hearing this, Bud was stunned immediately, and his pupils suddenly enlarged.
"Who did it?! Who did it?! Could it be that the alliance's fleet has already come over? How is this possible?!"
Dazed!
Shock!
With a strong disbelief, Bud locked his eyes on Eddie, completely panicking.
He never imagined that such a thing would happen when he was only one step away from retreating.
"I don't know, I don't know either, Mayor!"
Eddie's face was so miserable that he almost cried.
"Before the shaft passage was destroyed, someone heard an explosion in the ocean outside the city.
Then the receptionist found that the communication connection with the transport ship was inexplicably disconnected. At that time, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly sent someone into the water to check.
However, none of the first to go out came back alive.
Finally, the second group of people who launched the water reported that the transport ship was sunk inexplicably by someone unknown.
Before they could report the news, the shaft passage was bombarded by enemy artillery!
The intelligence personnel who stayed in the airlock died on the spot, and soon even the hatch of the elevator shaft was deformed in the explosion. The entire structure of the airlock collapsed in a large area, and the gravel and seawater completely blocked the entire airlock. died!
We can't get out! "
Eddie was crying with a hint of despair in his eyes.
At this point, there is no way out.
To clear the collapsed rock fragments in the airlock, the door of the airlock must be opened.
And once the hatch is opened, the backwater will pour out like a flood.
If the lower area is not completely filled, the water flow will not be stopped at all, and people will not be able to approach it at all.
In this case, there are no emergency measures that can resolve the immediate predicament.
"Damn! Who did it?! Isn't the outer sea area already blocked? How could someone else break in?!
The point is, why did the opponent attack the outpost? !
Could it be that our plan was exposed?
Or there are spies in the courier, who want to swallow these eggs for themselves! ? "
Bud roared angrily in the office, his face ashen.
At this time, he didn't care about worrying about the exposure of his identity.
If the current predicament cannot be resolved as soon as possible, when the alliance's fleet arrives, his identity and actions will simply not be able to withstand investigation.
At that time, exposure is also inevitable.
"Mayor, what should we do now?!" Eddie asked eagerly, unable to remain calm any longer.
Bud took a deep breath, thought about it carefully, and then said:
"I can't take care of that much anymore. All the explosives reserves of the Security Office are gathered together, and people use safety ropes to fasten the door of the airlock.
In any case, put the explosives in against the flow of water and blow up a gap in the airlock! "
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."
Eddie nodded nervously.
Although he was still very uneasy, Bud at least provided a solution, which gave him some hope.
For those who are in despair, any little hope, no matter how unrealistic, will be infinitely magnified.
Eddie didn't delay, turned and walked away quickly.
Twenty minutes later, there was another earth-shattering explosion from the lower area, which was stronger than before.
There was a five-minute interval between the two explosions, and in the end everything calmed down.
It didn't take long for Eddie to return again with desperate news.
After all the explosives were used up, the airlock room not only was not blasted open, but collapsed even more seriously.
Even, the violent explosion caused the internal hatch to deform, and the rock structure collapsed to a certain extent.
A large amount of seawater seeped out from the crevices of the rock wall and gradually spread to the entire lower area.
Such a situation cannot be resolved in a short time even if the other submarines of the coordinating fleet in the outer blockade sea area arrive.
At this moment, Bud was finally helpless, feeling all hopeless.
He never imagined that the whole plan would go very smoothly, but at the last moment when he was about to leave, everything was for nothing.
The bloated body was slumped on the chair, and the fat face was full of despair.
Bud seemed to have lost his mind, and kept muttering in his mouth:
"It's over... it's over..."
...
At the same time, it is more than 30 kilometers away from the Rongyan outpost.
Different from the depressing and desperate atmosphere in the mayor's office, there was laughter and laughter in the submarine of the Sea Locust.
Even using the word carnival to describe it is not an exaggeration.
"More than 2,000 worm eggs, more than 2,000 copies! My God, we're going to send it, we're going to send it!"
"The separatist organization destroyed an entire outpost in a frenzy just to collect these worm eggs, but in the end, the plan fell through completely. Not only were they trapped in the city, but they also tried to make wedding dresses, which cost us nothing! This is really ...the world is impermanent!"
"Hahaha, make a lot of money, make a lot of money!"
…
In the earphones, everyone's shouting and shouting rose and fell, and they were all extremely excited.
Crazy is no longer enough to describe the current situation.
Even after a long time has passed, the excitement of the crowd still cannot subside.
Even Meng Lei temporarily let go of his identity and joined this hilarious carnival.
It was enough to see how high the mood of the crowd was.
More than an hour ago, when the mission assigned by the alliance was completed, the entrance to the shaft of the molten rock outpost was destroyed, and when he was about to leave.
Meng Lei suddenly realized that the enemy was staying on the courier ship outside the city, and there might be painted skin worm eggs that had been packaged and collected.
After all, in a city with thousands of people, it is impossible for the enemy to transport the eggs in a centralized manner.
During the collection process, it must be transported in batches.
As a result, Meng Lei took the attitude of giving it a try, concentrated his hands and put on weapons, infiltrated one of the sunk submarines, and after eliminating the lingering armed men inside, he opened the submarine warehouse to check it out.
Sure enough, I actually found a large number of storage boxes with uniform specifications.
In the box, all the eggs of the painted skin parasite were sealed in test tubes!
Inside each box are standard fifty test tubes.
In the end, the number of boxes salvaged from the two sunken submarines totaled more than 40 boxes!
After running back and forth several times, all the boxes in the sunken ship were finally salvaged.
In the end, the warehouse of the Sea Locust could hardly hold it, and the corpses of the creepers who were originally going to be sold for money could only be thrown away.
Then the fourth floor of the submarine, which should have been used for the shuttle boat, was used, and all the storage boxes containing the eggs were reluctantly salvaged.
Based on the market price of 1,000 marks per worm egg, these two thousand or more worm eggs are worth millions of marks!
Such a huge harvest, how can we not be excited!
You know, this is all picked up for nothing, just like the nature of the wind.
As the old saying goes, no one's money comes from strong winds. Meng Lei and the others have broken this theory this time. These millions really came from whoring for nothing.
At that time, when the eggs were being transported, there were a lot of other materials in the two sunken ships, but everyone didn't even look at them, and only focused on the salvage of the eggs.
No matter how valuable other materials are, they cannot compare to the price of this box of 50,000.
With this experience, Meng Lei finally knew why there was such a profession as a pirate.
The feeling of getting something for nothing is cool, it's really cool!
If it weren't for the limited space on the ship, Meng Lei would never have let go of those other supplies.
However, it was not realistic to go back to the previous hiding place and drive the other three boats over to continue the salvage.
Meng Lei was afraid that the other submarines in the opposing fleet would suddenly return and block them in place.
As a last resort, I can only leave with a little regret.
"I said Lao Huo, your shots just now were a bit too hard! Otherwise, our harvest would be doubled again!"
In the headphones, Huo Ye's voice sounded, complaining about Hawke in a joking tone.
The reason why I say this is because the actual number of eggs in the two sunken ships is more than what everyone salvaged!
However, most of the boxes were destroyed in the blast of the railgun.
Even if there is only a little bit of damage, as long as the overall sealing of the storage box is damaged, the test tube in which the eggs are stored will be instantly crushed into powder by the sea water, and there is no possibility of even picking up the leak.
Therefore, Huo Ye complained bitterly and felt extremely regretful.
In this regard, Hawke did not explain anything, but Meng Lei said with a smile:
"Old Huo, you can be content. If Hawke hadn't played accurately and hard enough, we wouldn't be able to solve those two transport boats at all, and you wouldn't even be able to get these eggs.
You are too embarrassed to complain about Hawke, when you eat tomorrow, you will punish yourself for a cup! "
"Hey, fine is fine, I'm just saying, it's a little pity, but I still have to thank Hawke this time!"
Huo Ye smiled calmly, still excited.
At this time, Gina, who had never spoken in the communication headset, suddenly said:
"Oh, God, how can Huo Ye bear such a tragic thing alone?! Dear little captain, I want to punish myself, and I want to!"
Meng Lei suddenly had a headache when he heard her voice.
But this time he is in a good mood, and he is also rich and powerful, and he is rarely bold:
"Punish! Let you be punished! When the time comes, you will be punished for a bottle, drink it!"
"Dear little captain, your words count!" Gina's voice was obviously excited, and she said boldly: "In view of your wise behavior, Dr. Gina has decided to give you a special reward, come to me later room, we can have an in-depth exchange."
The voice fell, and everyone who heard this sentence began to boo in the earphones one after another.
Simon hehe smirked and said:
"Captain, show your bravery when you slaughtered the Quartet in the city. In the face of a beautiful invitation, escaping should not be a man's choice!"
Huo Ye watched the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, and kept instigating:
"Commander, I'll be on duty tonight, you can go with confidence and boldness. I believe that Dr. Gina will definitely spend a wonderful night with you, don't be shy!"
Meng Lei pouted, and immediately refused to answer.
He immediately changed the subject and said:
"You guys, don't be too happy, these painted skin parasite eggs are all new and unknown species, and even the skin insect net can't be killed, whether anyone dares to receive the goods is a problem!
In addition, once a large-scale outflow will cause other chaos, it is unknown.
If you are in the mood to make fun of me, it is better to think about how to do it. "
Hearing this, everyone was at a loss for words, and the communication channel was rarely quiet.
This question is something Meng Lei has been considering.
Although he had harvested so many eggs, he didn't have a clear idea about the market.
Through normal channels, I am afraid that no one dares to collect such completely uncontrolled eggs at present. Once it is out of control, it will inevitably cause great panic.
As for the alliance, it should not allow the eggs to flow into the market until a new targeted drug is developed.
But this does not mean that this batch of worm eggs will be smashed into the hands, otherwise the separation organization will not go to great lengths to plan this incident.
On the contrary, the value of this kind of worm eggs is estimated to be higher than that of ordinary worm eggs!
The only problem is that they don't know how to open up the market and sell these hot treasures.
After a moment of silence, Lanny, the owner of the supplies store, suddenly said:
"In the major gathering places under the jurisdiction of the alliance, it may be difficult for this kind of worm eggs to open up sales in a short period of time.
However, on the black market of some independent colonies, there may be many people interested in it. Even the biological research institute of the alliance will often go to the black market to hunt for novelties.
I even suspect that this kind of worm eggs are likely to be spread from a black market deep in the shallow area, bordering the flat area.
Think about it, it's not impossible. "
Meng Lei immediately became interested when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked:
"Black market?! What is the situation of these black markets? Will the alliance allow such places to exist?"
Meng Lei had heard from Sarod, the head of the Seaman Firm, that there was a place like a black market.
But he didn't think much of it at the time.
Hearing the word again now, he was immediately intrigued.
Laney said:
"The alliance will definitely not allow such unstable factors as the black market to exist within its jurisdiction.
However, in some independent colonies that broke away from the Union, the black market was a key element in promoting urban development.
Almost every independent colony has a black market to attract bounty hunters and merchant ships.
On the black market, there are no restrictions on any trade, and you can buy all contraband prohibited by the league.
Sometimes, some technological blueprints in the leveling area will flow out, including the coordinates of alien relics that have not yet been discovered by the alliance, and maps of unknown seas, which may appear!
Of course, due to the lack of official restraints, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false intelligence transactions, and it is easy to encounter scammers.
In the end, wasting money is a trivial matter. If you get the wrong information and stumble into a dangerous place and lose your life, then there is no place to justify it.
But in general, the black market of the independent colonies has a wide range of transactions and no restrictions. It is a paradise for most pirates and bounty hunters.
On the premise of providing security and stability, the alliance also imposed many restrictions on alien citizens.
This is the key reason behind the creation of the black market. "
Wen Yan~www.novelbuddy.com~ Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully, having a clearer idea of this alien black market.
But when he was about to ask something again and wanted to continue to understand it in depth.
The handheld tablet placed on the console in the command room suddenly made a slight vibration and buzzing sound.
At the same time, a new unread text message appeared on the screen.
Meng Lei suddenly came back to his senses, realizing that they had left the sea area where the signal was blind and entered a place with signal coverage.
At this time, it was either Roger or Chen Yu who sent him a message.
He quickly opened the tablet and glanced at it.
Sure enough, the sender of the text message was Roger, the head of the Security Office in Sear City.
The tablet information clearly shows:
"Captain Meng, how is the mission progress?"
