The Lightless Sea 49
“I hate rainy days.” Kui Xin said, “Bad weather is like a bad omen, which makes people feel uncomfortable.”
“Don’t set the flag up like crazy!” Lan Lan said loudly, “We haven’t set off yet.”
“Kai Xin is participating in a large-scale mission for the first time, so she is quite nervous. Isn’t it Kai Xin?” Liu Kangyun came to Kai Xin’s side and patted her on the shoulder, talking loudly.
“A little nervous.” Kai Xin had no choice but to raise his voice.
They had to speak loudly, because they were currently on the rooftop of the headquarters of the Investigation Department.
The engines of the five armed helicopters roared, and the rotors rotated violently to stir up the airflow. The whistling wind and the buzzing of the rotors were deafening. If they didn’t speak loudly, they wouldn’t be able to hear what each other was saying clearly.
The weather was clear and fine during the day, but it actually started to rain at night. The weather in Heihai City is really capricious.
Kai Xin’s hair was blown wildly by the wind from the helicopter’s propeller. The wind also moved the raindrops, and big raindrops fell obliquely and hit the person.
Kai Xin wiped off the rain on his cheeks, shook his slightly wet hair, and put on his helmet.
A light-weight person can be staggered by the wind blown by the rotor, but her body stood firmly without any swaying, because she had a 40-kilogram equipment box on her back, which contained some weapon parts .
Everyone in the seventh team carried equipment boxes, Lan Lan was responsible for carrying technological equipment, and the others were responsible for carrying weapons. It takes up too much space to directly carry the assembled weapons on the helicopter, so except for the necessary standard equipment, the rest of the weapons are all disassembled into parts, and then assembled on the Kraken.
There is not only the team of Kai Xin on the rooftop apron, but the remaining four teams are also ready to go. Some of them, Kai Xin, have met with them during the field team meeting, and there are some relatively unfamiliar faces, who do not seem to be field workers. group but another group.
This is a large-scale mission involving multiple teams.
“What a big battle.” Kui Xin said, “Captain, this mission is very important, right?”
“It’s very important.” Shu Xuyao said, “The Kraken transported combustible ice, and an accident in the transport device could easily cause the entire ship to explode.”
Combustible ice, a clean energy that has been put into use on a large scale in recent years, has the disadvantages of inconvenient transportation and mining, requiring the construction of special mining shafts and transport ships.
Red mentioned that the flammable ice transported on the Kraken was a cover, and what the ship was really transporting was something else.
“What are the criminals doing to harass the combustible ice transport ship? Is this thing useful to them?” Kai Xin asked inexplicably, “For that thing, can even the official organization go all out to fight it? People who make a living at sea are so crazy ?”
“Maybe it’s not to steal energy, but simply to destroy ships. Some extreme terrorist organizations will do some anti-social acts to retaliate against the Federation.” Shu Xuyao said slowly, “In short, don’t think too much, we just carry out the mission, Protect the Kraken.”
A look of worry flashed imperceptibly in his eyes.
The composition of those “lawless elements” who harassed the transport ship is very suspicious.
Kui Xin is doubting this, and Shu Xuyao is also doubting it. After all, everyone is not a fool, but the official document given by the Investigation Department isThis shows that the people below can only follow orders.
Team 7’s teammates are very humane, everyone gets on well with each other, and the top leaders of the investigation department will also show their subordinates an approachable side.
But in fact, the Department of Investigation is not a warm place, but a law enforcement department with iron and blood skills. The warmth and human touch are only superficial.
This world has already established a global unified political system, but it is difficult for the hand of the Federation to touch every corner. In some remote areas, there are many armed forces that cannot be underestimated. The Federation continues to launch “anti-terrorist operations” to try to wipe out these forces, but for some reason, they are like cockroaches that are not dead, but spring breeze blows again.
The rules, laws, classes, and society of the second world reveal abnormalities everywhere.
Everyone has already put on their helmets. Adam reminded in the helmet’s built-in communicator: “Please board the helicopter. The serial number of the helicopter corresponds to the number of each team.”
“Let’s go.” Shu Xuyao said.
The tactical boots made a heavy kicking sound when they stepped on the watery ground. They first went to the transport warehouse to put down the equipment boxes before entering the cockpit. The door of the gunship cockpit was high above the ground, and everyone joined hands and leveraged each other’s strength to board the helicopter.
Board the plane, fasten the seat belt, confirm the equipment, and close the cabin door.
The rain splashed on the glass of the cabin door. Through the glass, Kai Xin saw that other teams were already sitting in the helicopter.
She took a deep breath to adjust her heartbeat and physical condition.
During the interval between the Coastal Security Office and the Headquarters of the Investigation Department, the mission executors had a few hours to go home to deal with their personal affairs. Kai Xin took advantage of this interval to contact Red.
Red said to ask Kai Xin to pay attention to his news at any time. If the port is successfully blasted, Kai Xin will not need to do anything else. If it is not successful… it may be necessary for Kai Xin to continue to complete this task.
When Kai Xin heard Red’s explanation, he agreed very well on the surface, but actually gave him the middle finger in his heart.
Completion is impossible. Only a mentally ill person would take the initiative to complete such a life-threatening task.
Sitting in the helicopter, the hum of the rotor and the sound of the engine were still deafening, and Kai Xin was distracted by the loud noise.
The Kraken is the eye of the storm full of conspiracy and mist. Now Kai Xin is about to approach the eye of the storm, and go deep into the eye of the storm to find out.
She muttered in her heart, and opened the game light curtain.
“[Task Progress]: 30%.”
With the clarification of the situation and the deepening of the understanding of Mechanical Dawn, the progress of the investigation of the port bombing case rose to 30% without knowing it, and then froze, because the clues have not been completely connected together. The question of sex has yet to be answered.
What is being transported on the Kraken? Is there a hidden third party in the bombing case? Why is the Mechanical Dawn so afraid of the Kraken landing?
Kai Xin is still exploring these issues, and now she is approaching the truth. The sea escort mission of the Investigation Department is the turning point.
The investigation department dispatched security personnel to carry out this mission, which shows that they are aware of the things on the Kraken, and the top leaders want the Kraken to land. The things transported by the Kraken are of great value to them, so They will go to great lengths to send so many people to guard them, for fear that the transported things will be lost.
The Kraken incident involved so many forces and scale, it is shocking.
Kai Xin was really curious about what was being transported on this freighter that so affected the minds of all parties.
There are also a few awakened people who came to carry out the task together. These awakened people may be scattered in various teams. Kai Xin has no communication with other teams, so he has no way of identifying who is the awakened.
“The weather is stable and the flight is allowed. Please be prepared.” Adam reminded, “The flight time is three hours. After three hours, we will stop at the sea apron and transfer to a helicopter to continue to the sea area where the Kraken is located. The total flight time is about Seven hours and fifteen minutes.”
“It’s been so long?” Kai Xin said unexpectedly.
“The Kraken is sailing on the vast sea and has not entered the waters of Heihai City for the time being. It will take some time to fly there.” Shu Xuyao explained.
The latest armed helicopter of the Investigation Department flies at a speed of 280 kilometers per hour, and the Kraken sails at a speed of 10 knots per hour, which translates to about 18 kilometers in kilometers. These giant cargo ships often sail for months at sea, transporting goods to designated locations across oceans.
When it was time to depart, the helicopter tore through the rain curtain like a falcon looking for food, and lifted off on the spot.
The elevated altitude caused Kai Xin to have short-term tinnitus, and then quickly returned to normal.
She turned her head and looked at the porthole. The tall buildings were far away from her, and she seemed to be infinitely approaching the sky.
Only by overlooking Heihai City from a high altitude can we intuitively feel the prosperity of the city. This is a real city that never sleeps. The neon lights paint the night with different colors, and the laser light is projected out, extending a long distance in the dark night sky.
“Security officer Kai Xin.” Adam said, “It has been detected that your heartbeat index continues to be higher than the normal level. Do you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, and want to vomit?”
“…Huh? I didn’t.” Kai Xin said.
“If you feel unwell due to the high-altitude environment, you can take out the medicine in the emergency box under the seat.” Adam said dutifully.
The teammates in the cockpit all looked over and cast concerned eyes on Kai Xin.
Kai Xin Fu forehead: “I’m fine, I’m just a little nervous, and the noise in the cabin makes my brain hurt, I’ll be fine after a while.”
“Okay.” Adam said, “Your helmet has anti-noisemode, you can manually adjust it according to the environment, and I can also help you adjust it. ”
Shu Xuyao: “It’s normal to be nervous, and it’s the same for my first multi-department joint mission.”
Jiang Ming: “Don’t hold on to something.”
“Turn on the anti-noise for a while?” Lan Lan suggested.
“We have nearly seven hours of flying time. We go to bed when we feel tired, and wake up so that we can perform the mission with energy.” Liu Kangyun said.
“I’m really fine, it’s because Adam is too sensitive.” Kui Xin said helplessly, “Well, let’s turn on the noise protection first, the noise is giving me a headache.”
“Yes, the anti-noise mode has been turned on.” Adam said.
As soon as the anti-noise mode is turned on, Kai Xin is like having cotton stuffed in his ears, and a large part of the noise is filtered out.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned on the seat to temporarily relax her back.
Kai Xin was indeed very disturbed, and her anxiety came from the Kraken.
As the eye of the storm approached, anxiety increased. A voice in his mind silently reminded Kai Xin that this mission might not go so smoothly.
…
August 7, 3:00 am.
The helicopter flew directly above the Clark. It lowered its altitude and speed, keeping it parallel to the freighter.
The freighter turned on its searchlights, illuminating the deck, and guiding the helicopter.
A few seamen gathered around on the deck, looking at the pitch-black helicopter and chatting with each other.
Then the hatch of the helicopter was opened, and a strong rope was thrown down. Liu Kangyun took the lead and quickly descended from the rope to the deck with the equipment box on his back.
The next one is Kai Xin.
She fastened the safety buckle, stabilized the box on her back, firmly grasped the rope with her hands wearing anti-abrasion gloves, and cooperated with her hands and feet to make a rapid descent.
Amidst the rustling sound, Kai Xin landed smoothly, followed by the remaining members of the seventh team also landed on the deck one by one.
“It’s really pleasant to feel down-to-earth,” she said.
“Ma’am, this is far from down-to-earth, it will take us several days to reach the shore!” The burly captain with a golden beard said enthusiastically in half-baked Chinese, “Welcome! Welcome to the Kraken! I’m Captain Anton, from Beluga City!”
“Hello, I’m Shu Xuyao, the person in charge of the ship’s security work.” Shu Xuyao nodded, “The five of us are responsible for the ship’s security, and the rest of the team is in the escort ship. We will safely escort the Kraken to Heihai City. ”
The escort ships surrounded the cargo ship back and forth, following it on the sea. This is an airtight iron barrel. Unless unconventional heavy fire weapons are used, no pirates or criminals can break through the defensive circle and harm the Kraken.
“Thank you, I’m relieved.” Anton said gratefully, “Oh, I was really unlucky during this period. There was something wrong with the drinking water on board, and the crew members vomited and fell ill one after another until we were on board. A port city changed its food and water, and the situation improved. The good times didn’t last long. Some time ago, when my deputy was walking on the deck, the rusty hook of the crane fell off and hit him on the head. Since then, he There seems to be something… um, something wrong with my brain. I was thinking of going to the shore to treat him quickly.”
“It’s really unlucky.” Lan Lan sighed.
“Come on, you have to have a place to live after staying on the boat for so many days. I’ll take you there.” Anton grinned.
He led the crowd across the long deck and into the cabin.
The steps of the cabin are downward, and in the dark night, the passage under the steps is a bit like a deep cave… and it seems like there is some kind of wild beast hiding.
Kai Xin took a step down, and suddenly his head became dizzy, and he slammed on the railing, as if he had an auditory hallucination in his ears.
“Boom…boom…”
That was the sound of a beating heart!
The distant sound of heartbeats came from the dark passage.
What animal has such a loud heartbeat? It is so loud that it seems to cause the channel to resonate, and there is a vague echo in the ear.
“What’s the matter, Kuixin?” Shu Xuyao asked with concern.
Kai Xin listened carefully, and the sound of heartbeat disappeared, leaving only the continuous sound of waves in his ears.
“It’s okay… low blood sugar.” She said with strange eyes.
