MTL - Deep Sea Survival: Start a Submarine (Deep Ocean Survival: A Submarine From The Start)-Chapter 114 Roger's invitation

It is worth at least two million painted skin parasite eggs, and it is also a mutant species that can quickly infect parasites.

For some people, this new type of painted-skin parasite is worth more than ordinary eggs!

Of course, since there is currently no targeted drug developed for this new type of painted skin within the alliance, once this kind of worm eggs spreads widely, it will definitely cause great confusion!

Therefore, within the area under the jurisdiction of the alliance, this kind of insect egg is destined to be unable to trade on the bright side.

However, in an independent colony that is not controlled by the alliance, the common black market transaction is the sale of these eggs, which provides a market.

When I heard Meng Lei bluntly say that the biggest problem with this batch of eggs is how to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Chen Yu, who had recovered from the shock, immediately said that he had a way to solve this problem.

Looking at the intriguing smile on Chen Yu's face, Meng Lei turned his head in surprise, took out a cigarette from the inner pocket of the captain's suit, lit it and put it in his mouth, allowing the nicotine to surround his chest for a week, He puffed out a heavy puff of smoke and asked:

"What, did you get in touch with the black market?"

For Chen Yu's ability, Meng Lei has always been quite recognized.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be a hands-off shopkeeper himself, and hand over such a large team to the other side to manage.

In all fairness, if he and Chen Yu had the same team and started at the same time.

After a period of development, his team will definitely be left behind by Chen Yu.

If nothing else, just in terms of management and commanding ability, Chen Yu, who has been on the battlefield for many years, has much more experience than he is.

This can be seen from the current state of the Heavy Sea Fleet.

In the field of intelligence gathering and diplomacy, not to mention, Chen Yu can definitely handle it like a stream.

Therefore, even if Chen Yu stayed out of the city, Meng Lei would not be at all surprised that he could contact other forces other than Xiercheng at this stage.

Unfortunately, after his voice fell, Chen Yu shook his head in frustration and helplessness, and sighed:

"It's impossible to get in touch in the short term, the black market situation here is complicated, it's not as simple as you think."

Hearing this, the expression on Meng Lei's face was startled, and he said somewhat unexpectedly:

"What's the situation? Tell me carefully."

He pricked up his ears and looked at Chen Yu seriously, his eyes full of curiosity.

Perhaps stimulated by the smell of smoke in the living cabin, Chen Yu's smoking craving was also invisibly aroused.

He took out the delicate pipe he had been carrying with him during the novice trial from his arms, then took out a small cloth bag from another pocket, picked up a small pinch of shredded tobacco between his three fingers, and carefully put it into the pipe. Light it with one of the cheapest windproof lighters.

He took a deep sip, his face full of intoxication and satisfaction.

"Let's not talk about the black market. At present, the communication between the major gathering places and outposts in the alien abyss is achieved by which method. Have you ever understood?"

In the smog, Chen Yu did not directly solve Meng Lei's confusion, but asked him a question instead.

Meng Lei nodded suspiciously, but answered seriously:

"I briefly understood before that the communication between major gathering places and outposts is mainly based on submarine optical cables, and long-distance instant communication is achieved through optical cables.

However, in the process of submarine navigation, the transmission of wireless signals is achieved entirely by the sonar beacon station built on the seabed. "

Speaking of this, Meng Lei paused, recalled carefully, and confirmed:

"Well... it seems to be so much. I haven't learned about the third communication method yet."

Chen Yu put down the pipe in his hand, nodded, and said with certainty:

"Indeed, for now, there are only these two methods of communication under the alien ocean.

And a large amount of data transmission, mainly rely on submarine cables.

The beacon station can emit some specific high-frequency sound waves for long-distance wireless communication, as well as fixed navigation guidance, including a series of functions such as marking the location of the submarine optical cable where the channel is located.

However, the transmission capacity of this communication method is very low, and you must be deeply aware of it. "

Meng Lei nodded noncommittally.

The experience of going overseas made him extremely impressed, especially in terms of communication. In addition to the transmission of text information, including pictures and videos, the transmission rate is extremely low!

Every time I submit a bounty task completion video, I can get stuck in doubt.

The video of the destruction of the shaft entrance sent to Roger took a long time to be successfully sent, and the opening speed of the headline panel that day was too slow to bear to look at.

Many times, even the refresh can't be refreshed.

That is, a simple text message, barely able to be transmitted.

But what Meng Lei did not understand was, what does the black market in the independent colonies have to do with the communication system?

What is the significance of Chen Yu's bringing the problem into this area?

Meng Lei was outspoken and raised his own questions on the spot.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and said:

"The relationship is very big, because all independent colonies do not belong to the jurisdiction of the alliance, so they are excluded from the alliance's supply system.

Even the communication system was unilaterally cut off by the alliance and lost the eligibility to access the network.

Neither undersea fiber optic cables nor sonar beacon stations existed in the waters near the independent colonies.

They are like isolated islands sunk in the dark abyss, lost contact with the whole world, and even the navigation system of the submarine cannot enable automatic navigation.

The approximate sea area can only be locked through fixed coordinate points.

Only then can people who are familiar with the terrain personally guide them to find the location of those independent colonies. "

After a pause, Chen Yu picked up his pipe and took a sip, then shrugged, a helpless expression appeared on his face:

"That's why I said that getting in touch with the black market directly is not as simple as I imagined."

Hearing this, Meng Lei frowned.

Hearing what Chen Yu said, he suddenly remembered something.

When he had just met with the Winter Fleet before arriving in Syr City, the Commander-in-Chief of the Winter Fleet just liked to reveal a piece of information.

When the Winter Fleet was exploring an abandoned mining center, it found a data black box.

It completely records the whole process of the decline of the mining center.

The main reason is that this private mining center did not obey the alliance's instructions, so it was blacklisted by the alliance and excluded from the supply system.

He was eventually looted by pirates and had no choice but to move.

Through this incident, it can be seen that the alliance is arbitrary in its ruling methods.

Now hearing what Chen Yu said, Meng Lei suddenly felt that the status quo of those independent colonies was very similar to the abandoned mining center back then!

After so many years, the style of the alliance is still the same as always, full of the hegemony of the dictatorship.

Thinking of this, another question suddenly came to mind. Meng Lei looked at Chen Yu and asked:

"If those independent colonies were completely excluded from the supply system of the Union, how did they develop and ensure that their own interests were not violated?

With such a big piece of fat, those pirates wouldn't sit idly by, right? "

Chen Yu shook his head and said:

"Most of the living supplies of these independent colonies come from the bounty hunters who stayed in the past, as well as several major mining companies and arms giants.

In addition, they often have fixed merchant ships and go out to major gathering places to purchase.

These merchant ships are all registered by the alliance, and they will not be hindered by any travel in the major seas.

Even, the prestige level of individual procurement department personnel in the alliance system is much higher than that of most bounty hunters, just to get more discounts when making large purchases!

Apart from not being connected into the Alliance's network, independent colonies are almost identical to regular outposts.

Also, as it is not under the jurisdiction of the Union, the laws of the Union have no role here either.

Each independent colony has its own rules and is self-contained, and everything is left to the local authority.

Therefore, the environment is relatively chaotic, and the phenomenon of black eating black is not uncommon.

However, in most cases, the local authorities will still act according to certain rules and regulations, and will not mess up.

Otherwise, once the reputation stinks, the independent colony will lose word of mouth and traffic, and will soon collapse. "

Speaking of this, Chen Yu paused, took two puffs of his pipe, and then said:

"As for the security issue you mentioned, it doesn't even exist.

Any force that can break away from the control of the alliance and build an independent colony in the deep sea is inextricably linked with the large pirate groups in the nearby waters.

What's more, I heard that the behind-the-scenes power of individual large independent colonies is actually the leader of the notorious local pirate regiment! "

Seeing Meng Lei's eyes with a touch of shock and disbelief, Chen Yu smiled slightly and continued:

"Don't think that the pirates here have spent their whole lives wandering in the dark and icy deep sea, they also need a vast space environment to release their mental pressure.

The cramped and cramped environment in the submarine itself does not meet the survival needs of human beings.

If you stay in that state for a long time, you are prone to mental problems.

Even if they live in a dark gathering place from birth, human instinct will cause these people to have different degrees of psychological pathology.

This is also why the aborigines on alien planets are more or less abnormal in spirit.

The same is true for pirates, who also need to leave the submarine and live in a wider space.

And because of their status as black households, they were naturally unable to enter the alliance's territory, which prompted the birth of an independent colony. "

After listening carefully, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.

Immediately he realized something and said suddenly:

"The coordinates of these independent colonies are also semi-transparent and cannot be completely kept secret.

The reason why the Alliance acquiesced to the impunity of these pirates and acknowledged the existence of independent gathering places should have something to do with the environment of the waters where these colonies are located, as well as the armed forces of the pirate forces? "

Chen Yu looked at Meng Lei in surprise, as if he didn't expect his head to be so bright, and the essence of the problem was revealed in one sentence.

"Yes, indeed it is!"

The delicate pipe was clenched between the index and middle fingers, the shredded tobacco was burnt out, the lingering flames were beating, and the mouthpiece was emitting a hint of blue smoke.

Chen Yu took a sip and continued:

"Every independent colony, or every large pirate group, is a good customer of those private arms giants.

Taxes and transaction fees from the colonies, and the money they looted and looted, were the biggest sources of funding.

They took this money to buy powerful weapons and equipment from private arms giants, as well as more advanced and sturdy submarines to arm themselves, and gradually formed a complete armed force.

Although there is a lack of a rigorous and sound military system, such an armed force, combined with the complex marine environment near the colony, will make even the alliance difficult.

Forcibly sending troops to clear up, the price to pay is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, as long as these independent colonies and large pirate groups do not do anything too outrageous.

The Alliance will turn a blind eye and let them fend for themselves. "

Speaking of which, Chen Yu squeezed out a small pinch of shredded tobacco from the pipe, and took advantage of the lingering fire in the pipe to re-light it with two puffs.

continued:

"Furthermore, in a sense, the alliance also needs the existence of independent colonies to obtain a lot of information that cannot be obtained through official channels.

This is also one of the ways to help them gain a deeper understanding of the alien situation.

Therefore, the existence of independent colonies is also an inevitable phenomenon. "

After a pause, a dignified expression appeared on Chen Yu's face, and he took a deep breath and said:

"I even suspect that there are several large independent colonies, and the background behind them is likely to be the official alliance!

The purpose is to use the identity of an independent colony and a clean political ecology to obtain secret information beyond the official line of sight of the alliance! "

Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded in agreement.

I agree with Chen Yu's guess.

Since the existence of an independent colony is inevitable, the alliance should build a fake colony by itself instead of going to the pirate's territory to collect intelligence.

Under this guise, not only can one see the darkness hidden outside the official asylum.

It can also ensure the control of the colony and firmly hold it in its own hands.

This kind of operation is too common on Blue Star. Even if the political organization of the alliance degenerates, it is not impossible to think of this.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly appeared in Meng Lei's mind.

If the information of the independent colony is so blocked and completely disconnected from the communication coverage of the alliance, even if there is any important information, it cannot be transmitted in time.

As a result, many things will be delayed, right?

Moreover, even if the alliance cuts off the optical cable coverage of the independent colonies, with the strength and relationship of most pirate groups, it should not be difficult to build a few sonar beacon stations by itself, right?

For Meng Lei's question, Chen Yu gave a clear explanation.

"Indeed, it is not a problem to be able to create an independent colony and secretly fiddle with a few beacon stations.

And the key sea areas around the independent colony do indeed have an internal local area network sufficient to cover the entire colony for information transfer between their internal personnel.

Moreover, in the periphery of these local area networks, there are also armed fleets patrolling 24 hours a day.

Once the alliance's fleet is found to be aggressively invading, it will immediately notify the internal armed forces to respond in a timely manner, and register and check the passing ships. "

Chen Yu looked up at Meng Lei and sighed:

"However, your question finally comes back to what we were discussing in the first place.

As mentioned earlier, independent colonies are excluded from the alliance's supply system because they are not under the jurisdiction and control of the alliance.

Once discovered by the Alliance in the waters surrounding the independent colony, there are signals and public networks to border it.

The alliance doesn't even have to do it by itself, just release a bounty task, and a large number of bounty hunters will rush to destroy the beacon station located on the key node!

Therefore, it is useless for the colonies to build more beacon stations without permission, it will only waste people and money. "

Meng Lei frowned slightly, nodded thoughtfully and said:

"In other words, the Alliance allows the colony to play single-player on the intranet, but strictly prohibits them from playing online.

Once someone finds out that someone is surfing the Internet secretly, they will immediately block the IP..."

When Wang Qi heard the words, he immediately gave a thumbs up and praised:

"Incisive, that's what it means!"

Chen Yu nodded with a smile and said:

"There's nothing wrong with your way of understanding. There is a local area network in the colony, and the Alliance can't manage it if you want, and there's absolutely no need for that.

Also, many independent colonies were built in abandoned waterways, and the nearby beacon stations had long since fallen into disrepair and disconnected from the public network.

Regardless of the colony or the alliance, a tacit understanding has been reached to a certain extent now, and no one will easily violate the rules of the game. "

Meng Lei suddenly nodded.

After Chen Yu's popular science, he finally got an in-depth understanding of what the so-called independent colony actually was.

Thinking of the Alien Separation Organization again, he suddenly felt a big head.

All kinds of messy forces have gradually surfaced, and the situation under this deep ice ocean is really complicated.

If you want to get rid of this batch of bug eggs as soon as possible, it seems that you have to meet the pirate group.

In this way, in addition to the painted skin sect.

He can say that he has dealt with all the existing forces on Alien, not including private arms dealers.

But fortunately, the independent colonies seem to be apolitical and just want to be happy in their own nest.

Judging from the current situation, it should not be dragged into the water by this upcoming war.

But as for whether it can survive the tidal eruption of space, it is hard to say.

At least in terms of armed defense, these independent colonies are definitely not as stable as the alliance.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to the black market to dispose of this batch of eggs before the space tide fully erupts.

If you are trapped in an independent colony by space tides, the crises and risks you will face are definitely much greater than staying in an alliance gathering place! "

This thought flashed through Meng Lei's mind.

After sorting out his thoughts, he looked at Chen Yu, who was silently pondering with a pipe in his mouth, and asked:

"Brother Chen, since the black market can't get in touch with the outside world directly, what do you mean when you said just now that you don't need to worry about opening a market for these eggs?"

The voice fell, before Chen Yu could speak.

The ventilation system was not perfect, causing the visitor bell to ring suddenly in the living cabin of the two big smokers.

Wang Qi got up consciously, stepped forward and pressed the door button.

The airlock door of the dock passage slammed open, only to see Ning Wen running in excitedly.

"Hey young, but I'm exhausted to death. Those security officers are really hard to serve! We have to say that we have an illegal assembly and report it to the alliance! In the end, let me talk and talk about it, and finally kill it with a drink..."

As he spoke, Ning Wen picked up the water cup placed on the ground beside him, took a cup of water from the Danshui purifier of Guixu, and moistened his throat.

From his skillful movements and the position of the water cup, Meng Lei could tell that this kid must have been running to the Guixu often.

However, after not seeing him for a few days, Ning Wen seemed to be much more mature than before.

"Awen, you've been doing a good job lately, the road has opened up a lot. I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I'm so familiar with the sheriff in the city. It seems that it was true that I asked you to do intelligence work. That's right!"

Meng Lei looked at Ning Wen with a smile and couldn't help joking.

Ning Wen smiled, scratched his head, and said embarrassedly:

"No, I usually meet them more often. These guys are mainly responsible for our pier area, and they know each other when they come and go."

Chen Yu smiled beside him, looked at Meng Lei and said:

"Awen's recent performance is indeed worthy of praise. Not only has he become half of the city's local passer, he has also frequently visited bars and nightclubs and other entertainment venues, collecting a lot of valuable information for us.

The news about the black market in the independent colony was also discovered by Awen from the bar a few days ago.

In this regard, let Awen introduce it to you next. "

Hearing this, Ning Wenmeng swallowed a large mouthful of water, looked up at Meng Lei with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and asked:

"Brother Lei, Captain Chen, what were you talking about just now? Are you going to go to the black market of the independent colony next?"

Meng Lei nodded noncommittally, and then briefly explained the situation to Ning Wen.

When they learned that Meng Lei's group's gains from going to sea this time were so huge.

Ning Wen's reaction was similar to that of Chen Yu and Wang Qi just now, or even worse. The boss with his eyes widened on the spot and his mouth opened, he could just shove a fist!

"I'm going! I went to sea and brought back things worth over three million! Brother Lei, you are my god! Please accept my knees!"

Ning Wen's face was flushed, and he stomped his feet in excitement, almost kneeling on the spot.

It felt like he had won the five million lottery by himself.

Meng Lei smiled and said: "Dan Ding, when the fleet develops, there are ways to make money, and the pattern will be enlarged!"

Gently patted Ning Wen's shoulder, Meng Lei asked:

"How much do you know so far about how to contact independent colonies?"

In front of the business, Ning Wen calmed down his excitement, took a deep breath, and took out his small notebook from his pocket.

He quickly turned to one of the pages, and then said to Meng Lei:

"Lego, if you want to get rid of those painted-skin parasite eggs, I suggest you go to the Barona Colony in the middle of the waterway.

Relatively speaking, the reputation of the independent colony is not bad, and the environment is not particularly chaotic.

Transactions at the level of one million marks will not attract much attention.

It is said that there are even occasional large-scale transactions of tens of millions of levels!

In the 66671 waterway, the Barona Colony can be regarded as one of the best large colonies. "

Ning Wen's voice fell, Meng Lei looked at Chen Yu with a hint of doubt, and said:

"Brother Chen, aren't most of the independent colonies built in abandoned waterways? How come there are independent colonies in our waterway? Isn't this acting under the nose of the Alliance?"

Chen Yu smiled and did not speak, Ning Wen explained in a timely manner:

"Most things are like that, but there are exceptions to everything.

Not all independent colonies have to be built in abandoned shipping lanes.

As long as the terrain of the surrounding sea area is complex enough, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if this condition is met, it is eligible to establish an independent colony.

Of course, if you want to establish an independent colony, forcibly occupying it by violent means is not acceptable.

It must be an abandoned outpost that is no longer needed by the restarting alliance. Like the d12 outpost we encountered before, it belongs to the Borderlands. After the restart and independence are announced, the alliance will not be counterattacked. "

After a pause, Ning Wen cleared his throat and continued:

"But the colony of Barona is another case, it is said that it was not occupied by pirates, but suddenly declared independence.

After several unsuccessful interviews with the local leaders, the alliance tried to recover by force.

However, the environment in that sea area was very complicated, and there were many dangers. Under the well-prepared response of the other party, the alliance failed in the end and could only cut off all the resource supply and let it fend for itself.

Up to now, the Barona Colony has always been standing, and has gradually developed into a relatively large independent gathering place in this channel. "

Hearing this, Meng Lei once again turned his attention to Chen Yu and said meaningfully:

"Brother Chen, this Barona colony feels a little wrong. Could it be a scam directed and acted by the Alliance? It's said to be independent, but it's actually the Alliance's territory!"

Chen Yu nodded, his eyes showing a touch of affirmation.

Ning Wen interjected next to him:

"Yeah, Lei Ge, originally near our waterway, I heard that there are two other independent colonies.

But then Captain Chen asked me to investigate more, so as not to be trapped.

After many inquiries, I visited many crew members who were registered in the labor market, and found that the information in the other two places was very vague, and there was still a phenomenon of black eating black.

Some people will secretly investigate the fat sheep that carry out large-scale transactions, and wait for the other party to leave the sea area where the colony is located, and then stop halfway.

Only the Barona Colony has a good reputation, and there are many gossip rumors that it may be a 'fish pond' opened by the Alliance, but there is no conclusive evidence to hammer this fact.

But since the alliance doesn't care on the surface, and even pirates frequent there, no one cares about the truth of this matter.

If you are going to trade goods worth millions of marks, Barona Colony is undoubtedly the closest and best place to trade! "

Ningwen Balabala said a lot, and Meng Lei probably knew what he knew.

If Ning Wen's intelligence source is true and reliable, then this Barona gathering place can indeed be the first choice for transactions.

Then he asked again:

"How far is the Barona Colony from Syr City? How long does it take to get there with normal sailing?"

This question is very important and must be clarified in advance.

After all, it is located in the middle of the waterway. If the Barona colony is too far away, it will take too long on the road.

Let's not talk about the battle between the alliance and the separation organization, whether it will affect the navigation.

Once the space tidal eruption happens to happen on the way, things will be in big trouble!

Ning Wen flipped through the records in his handbook, pouted and said:

"It's quite far away, more than 1,300 kilometers away from Xier City, in a sea area called hydrothermal wasteland.

But relatively speaking, it is the closest safe colony around the city of Searle. "

As soon as he heard the word hydrothermal wasteland, Meng Lei was stunned for a moment, and felt a little familiar.

Immediately, he remembered something, and then immediately became discouraged.

He remembered that Hans once mentioned a thing to him, saying that most of the safe passages in the waters around Syr City were in the cave structures between the rock formations.

Only one thousand kilometers away from Xier City, another sea area called the hydrothermal wasteland.

Only then can the submarine have the opportunity to emerge from the earth's crust and once again come to a vast area that is not limited by space.

However, the danger level of the hydrothermal wasteland is not easily accessible by individual forces.

At least with the firepower and shell structure of the sea locust-class exploration boat, it is impossible to pass through that sea area, and it used to be a food delivery!

If the Barona Colony is located in the hydrothermal wasteland, then don't think about it at all, and this batch of eggs will be directly smashed into your hands.

Not to mention how long it takes to travel a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers.

The point is that even the threshold for crossing the map has not been reached yet, and it is difficult to run the map!

Seeing Meng Lei suddenly look worried, Ning Wen said suspiciously:

"Brother Lei, what's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Meng Lei waved his hand helplessly and sighed:

"Awen, do you know what the hydrothermal wasteland is like? With the current situation of the Sea Locust, it is impossible to pass!"

Ning Wen obviously did not have enough information on the hydrothermal wasteland.

He scratched his head at the moment, and said with a look of doubt:

"I just heard people mention this sea area, but I haven't had time to investigate in depth, and it's really not very clear what the specific situation is.

It is said that the ocean currents there are relatively chaotic, and the alien sea monsters are relatively rampant.

However, the Sea Locust is so powerful that it even broke through the sea monster's lair that was several kilometers long. I think it should be able to handle it, right? "

After a pause, Ning Wen whispered again:

"Besides, we are now escorted by three submarines that are not inferior to the Sea Locust. The submarines are pushed horizontally around. Even if we encounter the Queen of Hammerhead, we can easily deal with it..."

Ning Wen's words reminded Meng Lei, and he woke up the dreamer.

It was only then that he remembered that he had ignored the existence of the other three class submarines.

What Hans meant at the time was that if the Sea Locust was alone, and the copy of the hydrothermal wasteland was single, it was simply wishful thinking.

But if the four submarines work together, will it increase the success rate?

Meng Lei felt that there should be a chance.

But before that, we need to know more about the detailed information about the hydrothermal wasteland.

After pondering for a while, Meng Leichong explained to Ning Wen:

"Awen, take the time to investigate as soon as possible, what is the specific situation of this sea area called hydrothermal wasteland, and make a detailed assessment of the risk factor.

After that, we will consider the issue of the Barona Colony. "

Ning Wen nodded and said seriously: "Okay, I will implement it as soon as possible."

At this moment, Chen Yu stood up and poured the ash from the pipe into a plastic bottle that was cut open in the middle.

The soot content in the bottle suddenly increased again, and it was about to overflow.

Afterwards, Chen Yu bent down and put half of the bottle in the corner, raised his head and said to Meng Lei:

"The journey has been exhausting for so long, so don't think about it so much when you just come back, go and have a good rest first, and let's talk about what you have to do after you wake up.

Let's go into the city in the evening to catch the wind and dust for you. "

Chen Yu didn't mention that, under the stimulation of nicotine, Meng Lei didn't feel anything.

After hearing this, I suddenly felt a little dizzy in my brain.

Thick drowsiness and a faint tingling sensation continued to invade his nerves.

The sequelae of the observer's gaze reappeared after he spent a long time without sleep and thought about so many problems.

Meng Lei slapped his head, but he stopped insisting now and listened to Chen Yu's advice.

After saying hello to a few people, Meng Lei walked out of the living cabin of the Guixu, turned around and swiped his card to return to the Sea Locust.

The hatch of the captain's cabin opened, and he didn't even have time to take off his clothes, so he fell asleep.

This sleep can really be said to be a dark night.

In the middle, I don't know if the influence of the observer on his brain nerves is mapped to the spiritual aspect, or if the brain is too tired and the subconscious thinks of something.

Throughout his sleep, his dreams became chaotic and absurd again.

In the dark, a huge light group that seemed familiar, faintly issued some kind of summons to him again.

Attracting the spiritual consciousness in his dream, he kept approaching the light group and chased instinctively.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Lei woke up from a daze.

It was dark before his eyes.

In his thinking, the huge white light group still appeared in the few seconds after he woke up from the big dream.

Even the optic nerve was affected, and in the dimness, it seemed that a sudden white light could be seen, which was gradually fading away quickly.

Meng Lei touched his pocket and took out a cigarette to light it.

In the captain's room, where the lights were not turned on, a little scarlet firelight replaced the white spot of light. With the ups and downs of his breathing, it was uncertain, as if a star was constantly being born and destroyed in the dead universe.

Sitting silently by the bed for a long time, my brain slowly regained clarity.

The sequelae caused by the observer seemed to have subsided a lot, and Meng Lei no longer had the illusion of chaos.

At this time, he faintly felt that the dream last night, as if he had experienced it before, had an extremely strong sense of sight.

But he remembered it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't remember it at all.

I always feel that there is a thought that is like a lake, and I keep walking away from my fingers, trying to grasp but unable to grasp it.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up.

He got up and went to the bathroom on the second floor to simply wash his face. Huo Ye and Hans also had a good night's sleep at this time, and greeted him with a glorious change of hair.

Meng Lei smiled and motioned them to go to the first deck to gather, and later called Chen Yu and Wang Qi together to prepare for a dinner party in the city.

The nerves are always in a tense state, and it is not good to relax when it is time to relax.

Especially in this boundless deep sea where there is no starry sky, relaxation at the spiritual level can easily reduce the incidence of mental illness.

After explaining a few people, Meng Lei returned to the captain's room, prepared to change clothes and put on a tablet, and then set off.

However, when he inadvertently opened the handheld tablet and subconsciously wanted to see the time.

Suddenly, an unread message appeared on the screen.

The sender was Roger, and the time was more than an hour ago.

Meng Lei frowned and suddenly remembered that he had told Roger before that he would be notified as soon as he returned to Sear City.

But in the daytime, I was too tired, and I discussed with Chen Yu and the others about the independent colony, so I forgot about it for a while.

Unexpectedly, Roger actually took the initiative to come to the door.

Meng Lei was suspicious for a while, and vaguely felt that this guy Roger seemed to have an impure purpose.

Otherwise, why are you looking for him in such a hurry?

With a hint of doubt, Meng Lei clicked on the unread text message~www.novelbuddy.com~ Hello Captain Meng, if you have time, is it convenient to meet at night? "

It is not difficult to see from these brief words that Roger already knew about Meng Lei and the others returning to the city.

But this kind of thing couldn't be concealed at all. When Meng Lei and the others came back, the Chongming fleet put up such a big battle that even the security officer in charge of the area was alarmed.

In particular, Roger, as the chief in charge of the Office of Security, is in charge of personnel access.

It couldn't be easier to find out the docking records of the Sea Locust.

Looking at the sudden invitation on the tablet, Meng Lei pondered for a while, and decided to push the dinner party back for a while.

Roger was looking for him in such a hurry, presumably it wouldn't be an unreasonable set-up.

There must be other important things to talk about.

So, he simply replied through a text message and agreed to Roger's invitation.

Meng Lei came to the first deck of the Sea Locust, explained a few words to Huo Ye and the others, and then came to the Guixu to say hello to Chen Yu.

When he learned of Roger's repeated invitations and intentions to meet Meng Lei alone, Chen Yu also noticed something was wrong.

"Now the alliance is about to go to war with the separatist organization. As a senior member of the alliance, Roger not only revealed to you so much confidential information that should not be leaked, but also made invitations again and again, obviously indicating that there is something wrong with this guy!

I estimate that the high probability is to win over you! "
