Seeing Xia Lei coming out of the water, Long Bing said excitedly: "You're finally back. If you don't come back soon, I'll have to come down and find you."
Seeing Xia Lei, what she was most concerned about was not the things inside the treasure point, but Xia Lei.
Xia Lei climbed onto the boat, but was unable to stand firmly, and staggered before falling onto the deck. He had relied on the mysterious energy in his body to survive until now. Now that he was back on the yacht, the pressure was gone. It was as if his bones had been removed and he could no longer continue living.
"Are you okay?" Long Bing hurried over to help her.
Xia Lei hurriedly said, "Don't come over!"
"You ?" Long Bing didn't know why Xia Lei would do this.
Xia Lei said: "This time, we found twenty-two ancient alloy, and the quantity is especially large. Don't come near me, it's very dangerous."
Long Bing finally understood why Xia Lei didn't let her go, but she was also shocked by what she said.
"How long did it take me?" Xia Lei asked.
"An hour." Long Bing said.
Xia Lei subconsciously looked at the surface of the sea, then suddenly remembered something. "Hurry up and sail, we have to leave this place."
"But you ?" Long Bing looked at Xia Lei worriedly.
Xia Lei replied: "I'm fine. I'll recover after a short rest."
"Alright then, I'll go sail." Long Bing walked towards the cockpit.
Xia Lei suddenly called out to her, "Oh right, where do you plan to go?"
Long Bing said: "This place is not far from the fishing island. Our fuel reserves will allow us to travel to that sea area. As long as we cross that sea, we can contact our navy and escort us back. "
"Then follow your plan." Xia Lei heaved a sigh of relief and laid on the deck, motionless, waiting for the moment he recovered both his physical and mental strength.
A minute later, Long Bing started up the yacht, and under the guidance of the navigation tool, they headed towards the fishing island. With the ship and fuel storage, she and Xia Lei no longer needed to return to Okinawa.
With the passage of time, Xia Lei's physical and mental energy also recovered bit by bit. Half an hour later, he got up from the deck. The night sky slowly moved in his field of vision. The stars were far away, but they did not lose their brilliance. They were dazzling. The salty sea breeze blew against his face and carried away his thoughts.
"Last time, Princess Young-mei wanted to hit my AE capsule in the basement of Rayma Military Factory. This time, she wanted to attack me. But she said she couldn't hurt me because I was the only one. Then, could it be that her actions of attacking me are fake? She actually wants to snatch away my AE capsule? " The things that happened in the sunken ships at the bottom of the sea slowly surfaced in Xia Lei's mind, causing him to be vigilant.
At that time, releasing Princess Young-mei was indeed an unscrupulous decision that had not been carefully considered.
However, this did not affect Xia Lei's desire to release her and have a good talk with her. He already had twenty-nine ancient alloy in his hands, the entire box was only missing one ancient alloy. This meant that he had already grasped a box that was only missing a part. Under this situation, if he released Princess Young-mei, what level would her completeness reach?
It was hard to be sure, but what was certain was that she was almost complete, just like the box!
A Princess Young-mei that was almost complete, she definitely knew many secrets about AE!
This kind of thought made Xia Lei excited, he even had the urge to immediately assemble the box and release the Princess Young-mei again. However, he finally gave up on this tempting idea. The reason he gave up was because of Long Bing. The Princess Young-mei couldn't hurt him, but he could hurt Long Bing. If Princess Young-mei vents the hatred in her heart onto Long Bing, that would be terrible.
"Lei, are you feeling better?" Long Bing's voice sounded.
Only then did Xia Lei retract his thoughts, and he replied, "I'm much better now, don't worry, I'll go hide my things, and then I'll come look for you."
Long Bing watched Xia Lei enter the cabin with his eyes, and only after a long while did he mutter, "You have a secret on you, and you didn't tell me it was because you had something that was difficult to say? Or ? Even you don't know? Are you looking for an answer as well? "
A woman's intuition and thoughts were very accurate at times.
Ten minutes later, Xia Lei returned to the cockpit with a huge bag in his hand.
"What is it?" Long Bing glanced at it and asked.
Xia Lei opened the bag and revealed the contents. Those were the jewelry, porcelain, and the bronze mirror of the Princess Young-mei that he had obtained from the cabin.
Xia Lei said, "I found these things at the treasure stash. You can take whatever you want."
Long Bing just glanced at it, "Take it, I don't want it."
"Why not?" Xia Lei laughed and said: "You don't want it, how can I take it? Do you want me to hand them over to the state? If you want me to, I will. "
Long Bing said: "You know that I don't like these things, I, I... I have my principles. Really, just take it, I don't want it. "
"Then I'll hand it over to the country."
"Don't." However, Long Bing continued, "You spent several tens of thousands of dollars for this operation. Boss Shi will not settle your debts with such a large sum of money. According to his style, the budget for our operation is probably no more than 300,000 yuan, and it's even in Chinese currency. Think of it as your account. "What's more, take it. If I lack money in the future, I can just ask you for it."
Xia Lei laughed, "Then I will keep it, I will buy a good car for you and add some high-end appliances for your house. Un, don't you like baths with surfing functions? Buy one, redecorate it, and install a large bathroom. "
Long Bing stared straight at Xia Lei, "You want to buy me a car? And to decorate the house for me, buy high-end appliances to buy a big bathtub... Are you trying to raise me? "
Xia Lei was immediately stunned. That's right, was he going to cover for the Division Chief Long? In fact, he definitely didn't have such thoughts in his heart, but from the looks of it, what was the difference between this and those rich men keeping lovers?
"Forget it, is there any difference if it is supported or not?" I don't want to take Shentu Tianyin's place. If you want to decorate my house then do it, big bathtub or something will be installed, anyway you need to use it when you come over. But let me just say that after the house is installed, you have to come and stay here one night a week. "
Xia Lei, "..."
Was he trying to smash his own foot with a rock?
"That ?" Long Bing also seemed to be embarrassed, and changed the topic, "Right, have you found a new pointer this time?"
Xia Lei's mind also returned to normal, "Yes, I have. I will change it up, and see where the next hidden treasure will be."
Xia Lei took off the old pointer on the compass, and changed the new pointer that he found in the sunken boat.
After the needle was installed, it suddenly turned around and returned to its original position.
"What's going on?" Xia Lei stared at the compass in shock.
Long Bing also turned and stared intently at the compass.
0
Both of them believed that the compass would soon have a new movement, pointing in a certain direction and then trembling. However, even after a full minute passed, there was still no movement from the compass.
"Is it broken?" Long Bing could not resist the suspicion in her heart and broke the silence.
"I don't know." Xia Lei said. Aside from being confused, he was more depressed. In this situation, he had no way to find the next treasure trove. If he could not find the next hidden treasure, he would not be able to find the best ancient alloy part, and he would also not be able to gather all of the parts to piece together into a complete box.
If he couldn't put together the complete box, how could he unravel the final secret?
After spending so much and experiencing so much, if he was unable to solve this mystery, he would never be happy again in his life.
However, just as Xia Lei was feeling depressed, wondering if the compass had been damaged by the immense pressure from the deep sea, the needle on the compass suddenly trembled, and then suddenly lifted up and pointed towards the sky.
What was even weirder was that Xia Lei had originally placed the needle on top of the compass, but at this time, it actually left the compass and floated onto the connecting rod of the fixed pointer as if it was weightless.
Xia Lei and Long Bing were both shocked, their eyes slowly moved up from the pointer as they stared at the ceiling above them.
The next hidden treasure was in the sky?
This was undoubtedly a huge joke.
With humanity's current level of technology, even though they can go to the moon or something like that, it's something that can only be done with the power of a country. And it can only be done at a predetermined landing point, with a small range. A very simple example is that the Americans have been on the moon but only put a Stars and Stripes on it. The people of the Grand China had also landed on the moon, but the scope of astronauts' activities had definitely revealed more than two football fields. Nowadays, technology could only reach this level. Just think about it, what kind of conditions would you need to meet in order to go to the heavens and find the next treasure trove?
In fact, even if the Grand China had the ability to send Xia Lei to the moon, the sky above his head was not just filled with a single moon. If it wasn't on the moon, then how was he going to dig for treasures?
"Hahaha ?" Xia Lei could not help but laugh in a baffling manner.
Long Bing was silent for a while, before she comforted, "Don't worry, there might be a problem with the compass. If it's really somewhere in the depths of the sky, it's fine if you can't go up there. You have done your best, and the country will not forget your contribution. "
Xia Lei could not laugh anymore, because only he himself knew that he was not only researching AE's secrets for his own country, but himself as well. He was connected to this matter through his bones, so how could he let it go?
At this moment, the needle floating above the compass pole fell down and returned to its original position. Its return was as precise as if it had been precisely measured.
The compass was still again. There was no new movement.
What was going on?
Xia Lei stared at the pointer blankly, but opening his entire brain wouldn't help.
A minute later, the needle stood upright again and pointed to the sky. After a while, it returned to its original position.
"It seems to be accumulating energy, and when it reaches a certain point, it will point the way. What energy was it? Could it be the energy of the compass itself? Or some other energy source? " Xia Lei thought in shock.
The yacht cut through the waves, carrying a boat full of questions as it moved stealthily through the darkness.
Dawn would come eventually, but until then, the darkness still existed, and it was hard to disperse.
