Chapter 49: The powder keg that is about to ignite
When Tang Shuxing woke up, Gaia's body was already soft.
When a person is alive, his body is soft and his heart is hard, but after death, his body becomes hard and his heart becomes soft.
When Gaia was alive, her body was as solid as a rock because of her "heart", but what about after her death?
Tang Shuxing stood up and stared at Gaia for a long time. Then he lifted Long Linblade and carefully cut open her body. After cutting it open, Tang Shuxing was stunned because in addition to the body tissues in Gaia's body, there was also
Precision machinery is included, that is, Gaia is a smart creature composed of biological machinery, and this technology has not been achieved by new humans so far.
The real basalt is placed in the strange frame in the heart, and it is still flashing. It changes in a second, from gray to black, and from black to white, and then repeats.
Tang Shuxing reached out to take out the basalt, but he didn't look closely. He just turned his hand and handed it to Ji Kefeng who came over: "I agreed that this thing belongs to you, and we have to make up a story about slaying the dragon when we go back. Of course, the protagonist is you,
It has nothing to do with me."
Ji Kefeng nodded slightly and installed the basalt. Tang Shuxing stood there staring at Gaia who gradually rotted all over her body after taking the basalt away. When they were about to change into those weird diving suits and ready to leave,
Four things that were exactly the same as Gaia, but were like little snakes, emerged from the passage connecting the cave next to it.
"That's Gaia's child." Tang Shuxing looked at him, "They all she lay are stone eggs because of basalt. Now the basalt is gone, and the petrified eggs have returned to normal."
"What should I do with these little things?" Ji Kefeng looked at the little Gaia who was squirming around Tang Shuxing's ankles.
"Let it go with the flow and die for yourself." Tang Shuxing leaned over, reached out and touched the four little Gaias, and then jumped straight into the pool.
"Let's go!" After Colin also entered the water, Gu Huaiyi turned around and jumped down.
Ji Kefeng stood there, staring at the edge of the pool, staring at the little Gaia who made a low cry, and wanted to lean over to touch the little Gaia. Who knew that as soon as his hand touched it, Xiao Gaia immediately
They acted in an attacking position, as if they were only close to Tang Shuxing.
"Goodbye, Gaia, thank you..." Ji Kefeng got into the water, but he himself didn't know whether the "thank you" was saying to Gaia or to Tang Shuxing.
Like Gaia said, they were wearing those weird diving suits and were not attacked by weird creatures under the water. On the contrary, the creatures avoided them one after another. This kind of clothing did not have oxygen cylinders, and the so-called helmets were just like ski masks.
It is also close to the face, and there is still oxygen pouring in from the notch at the mouth.
The water flowing at the bottom of the sea was very fast. Although they were wearing such clothes, they were still carried by the current to rush around the sea. They were washed for nearly forty minutes. After not knowing how far they had rushed, Tang Shuxing, who was in front, began to strive towards him.
Swimming over the sea.
When the four of them emerged from the sea, they found that they seemed to be in the center of the vast ocean, and there was no island or land around them. It seemed that the current at the bottom of the sea had rushed them to a very far away from Duan Island.
"Duan Island seems to be in that direction!" Ji Kefeng pointed to his side. Among the four people, he, the implanter, had the best vision.
Tang Shuxing looked at the outline of Duan Island, recalled the direction, and then pointed to the other side and said: "Swim towards that side, the southeast is the local direction. We should save a lot of effort when wearing such clothes."
Although everyone was exhausted and out of breath, they did not swim towards the land. Once it was night, the sea water temperature dropped and they were injured. It was very likely that they would die and had to swim slowly towards the southeast according to Tang Shuxing's instructions.
.
After swimming for nearly an hour, I still didn't see any shadows on the land. However, I saw a single trawl diesel-engine fishing boat slowly sailing from the opposite side with black smoke. Everyone immediately waved their hands. It was almost like shooting at the sky to attract the fishing boat.
Pay attention.
The fishing boat soon noticed them and turned around and rushed towards them, saying it was fast, but in their eyes it was like a crawling turtle. It took about ten minutes for the fishing boat to arrive at a very close distance.
The fishing boat turned off the engine ten meters away from them and slowly floated along the current. Then a man wearing a fisherman's clothes stood on the boat, put down the lifebuoy tied with ropes and pulled them up one by one.
The first Tang Shuxing, who was dragged onto the boat, said thank you. At the same time, he felt that the fisherman was so strong that he easily dragged himself up, but when the fisherman took off the hat and rushed forward, he waited for the fisherman to take off the hat and rush.
When he grinned, he realized that the person standing in front of him was not someone else, but the arms dealer, and the undercover Quinn, who was lurking in the Sharman Company.
"Quin!" Tang Shuxing was extremely surprised, "How could it be you?"
"Why is it not me?" Quinn smiled and signaled Tang Shuxing to help him pull everyone else up with him. After Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng got on the boat and found that it was Quinn, they were extremely surprised. For some reason, he actually appeared in
This place.
Colin looked at Quinn, and although he didn't know who he was, he also thanked him politely.
"Don't thank me, thank him." Quinn pointed out and walked out of the cockpit, hugged a large pile of clothes, tanned all over his body, and had a big beard.
Tang Shuxing looked at him carefully, and after looking for a long time, he realized that it was Hawk. He stepped forward and gave him a hug.
Hawke threw the clothes on the deck and signaled the others to change them.
"Didn't you hear you are in Europe? Why are you here?" Tang Shuxing asked, then turned his head to look at Quinn and said, "How could you be with Quinn?"
"Change your clothes first, then eat something, we will check your injuries, and then go see Yue." Hawke didn't say much. Judging from the new scars on his body, he has also experienced a lot recently.
"Where is Keane, Stan and Tom?" Tang Shuxing put his clothes and weapons in the deep water bag prepared by Quinn, mixed with the others, and then added a few pieces of iron to sink into the sea.
"It's not safe above, go down and say!" Hawke signaled Quinn to return, while he led the others out of the cabin.
After entering the bottom cabin, Hawke briefly examined their injuries. Because Tang Shuxing, Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng both used the medicine Gaia said. The injury was not important, but it needed to recover. Hawke just gave Colin a new wound.
Disinfect, suture and bandage.
"Friends, America is over. Jason is dead. I am wanted again. The situation in Europe is not ideal. A lot of things have happened in less than a week." Hawke wiped his hands after finishing it. He put the drinks on his face.
I brought out the wine and took out a bottle of strong wine and drank it slowly.
Tang Shuxing leaned against one side and asked, "What does America mean when it's over?"
"The current president has compromised, recognized Shangdu's legal status, and signed a treaty on non-aggression with Shangdu in private, recognizing that Shangdu's territory is the entire Southeast Asia, and the world is full of this news." Hawke smiled bitterly with a wry smile
, "In Europe, with the UK's referendum leaving the EU, "leaving from the EU" spread instantly like a plague, Germany, France and others announced their departure from the EU. But the problem came soon, and the UK has been
We did not join the euro zone and used the pound, while Germany and France replaced the original marks and francs with the euro, and now we suddenly left. We are worried that we will be dragged down by the EU economy and reusing the original currency is also a problem."
Hawke was drinking, but his face was flushed, and it seemed to be because of anxiety: "Taking German Mark as an example, before it was gradually replaced by the euro, Mark had an average inflation rate of 3%, and the value was only the original one.
A quarter. The euro suddenly turned into waste paper. Mark returned, which means economic collapse and EU member states are in a dilemma. If you stay, you will die, and if you don’t stay, you will die. It’s better to withdraw and give the people an explanation and everyone will do their own.
Work hard and fend for oneself.”
Tang Shuzhu was not very clear about monetary policy, he just asked: "Did Britain, France, and Germany recognize the status of Shangdu?"
"British follow the United States to admit it. It should be said that many countries have admitted it in disguise. While they are worried, they also believe that the people who have penetrated into Shangdu from their own country have existed many years ago, and they are also worried that they cannot do so.
In order to protect oneself, we can only admit it. Now, Shangdu is not recognized worldwide, and insists that Shangdu is a terrorist organization and cult, only China, Russia, France, India, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea,
Sweden,
Venezuela, and some small countries, declared neutrality and showed an innocent expression. "Hawke shook his cup, "The civil strife in Brazil is in progress, because the Brazilian government actually declared that some new drugs are medicalized, and
The disguised statutory and included it in national taxation has caused dissatisfaction among people in China, including a group of drug dealers. The war started to burn out instantly because the government wanted to include drug dealers in taxation, and the drug dealers were finished."
In Brazil's civil war, the government forces immediately occupied the top. The anti-government armed forces claimed that the government had collusion with the Shangdu terrorist organization and sought help from other relevant countries that did not recognize Shangdu, but received no response - who would announce to help drug dealers
What about fighting the government? Because drug dealers are not out of justice, but only because of interests.
"Venezuela expressed regret for Brazil's incident, but it was just watching the fire from the other side of the river and did not dare to interfere easily." Hawke closed his eyes and couldn't continue to say it, "Where are the most peaceful places now?"
"Africa." Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi said in unison.
"Yes, Africa!" Hawke smiled bitterly, "Bafang and Shaman Dynamics finally all quelled the rebellion of some small African organizations, unified the entire Africa, and recruited the troops of various countries and then reorganized them. Around the Suez Canal, Djibouti and Benghazi, etc.
The land stationed troops and was worried that Europe would invade. In fact, they did this to resist Shangdu. Basically, the whole world knew that Bafang and Shaman Power broke with Shangdu."
"The powder barrel is igniting soon." Gu Huaiyi stood up and walked towards the deck. "If Russia can't hold it back for a while, then World War III will start."
"Don't worry, not for the time being." Hawke looked at everyone, "He led by China and Russia, a joint army called "Asia and Europe Peacekeeping Support Force" was established. This is a good chess game, and he avoids it while protecting himself.
There are many problems, they should be the last resistance."
"And..." Hawke added, "Israel asked the US ambassador to report to the US, saying that if the US becomes an accomplice of Shangdu and helps terrorism take root and sprout around the world, then Israel will declare war on the US... I have to say,
Chapter completed!
