    Lighthouse in the sea fog ④

    When Lu Rong walked behind Kaos, the mermaid who had just been talking to Kaos had dived into the sea and disappeared.

    “Long time no see, Researcher Kaos.” Lu Rong took the initiative to say hello to him.

    Kaos turned around, his long red hair fell from his shoulders, and there was a dazzling white coral hairpin beside his ears. His smile was bright and sunny, without any haze, and his dark green eyes blended the tolerance and danger of the sea. “Long time no see, Mr. Lu.” There was a trace of inquiry in his eyes.

    Lu Rong could detect something strange in Kaos’s expression. Kaos did not simply come to say hello to him. Sure enough, Kaos asked in the next sentence: “I asked directly, where did you get that sentence.”

    “Someone gave it to me. It’s something I’ve been looking for for a long time.” Lu Rong abided by Fenier’s request and did not mention him explicitly.

    Kaos looked at Lurong suspiciously, “How do you know him? You two should have nothing to do with each other. For so many years, Eros didn’t know that you were related to this person, but yesterday you suddenly asked Eros for news about him.”

    Lu Rong: (.)

    Eros always looked like a leaky scoop in front of Kaos.

    “I just didn’t know he had been here.” Lu Rong smiled helplessly. He glanced at the turbulent sea in the distance, “He saved me, I saved him, it’s that simple.”

    “Really?” Kaos frowned, doubtful. He was silent for a while, his eyes drifted away, falling to the end of the sea level, and smiled again, “The aircraft you drove here belongs to him, right?”

    Lu Rong looked at Kaos unexpectedly, “Have you seen it?” He guessed, waiting for Kaos’ next words.

    Kaos turned back to look at Lu Rong’s expression, glanced at the wooden house not far away, thought, and continued: “When he came here, it was his rest ship. Once, he went in and stayed there for a long time. It was said to be an emergency meeting. Now think about it, it was probably the estrus period. But he hid it really well, there was no trace at all.”

    “At the end of the war, when he was about to leave, I had a vague sense that he might be an orc. Orcs are always very sensitive to each other’s scent and information, but I don’t know what race they are. I talked to him once and said that I was willing to support him and provide him with help. As long as it does not destroy the water source, I will do my best. He simply rejected me and left directly. I thought I would never see him again.”

    “But…” Caos paused, “About eight years ago, he suddenly came to me and transported about 900 Munch doses of star cores to Shuiyuan Star and asked me to help him hide them. He made a verbal key agreement with me, saying that these star cores would be returned to their original place in the future. If someone comes with the key, he will ask me to hand the star cores to that person.”

    “Until the news of his death came, I didn’t wait for anyone to come to me. I thought no one would come to me again to ask for these star cores, but it turned out to be you.” Kaos looked at Lu Rong in confusion.

    Lu Rong was silent and then asked: “He came here eight years ago to store these star cores?”

    X01: “This time is too early. You have just established Broken Star City. How could he know this? Has he been paying attention to you?”

    “Yeah, I don’t know why this batch of star cores are specially stored here. Is there anything special about this batch of star cores?” Kaos asked.

    “This is…” Lu Rong paused and looked at the wooden house not far away. This is the batch of star cores taken out from the Broken Star City. “This is the batch of star cores I want to collect most.”

    Kaos was slightly startled, and his eyes turned regretful as he looked at Lu Rong. He paused and said politely: “But this batch of star cores… may not be available.”

    Lu Rong: “Why?”

    Kaos explained: “Have you seen Nina’s report? Cape Icarus collapsed. The collapsed part of the cape sank into the trench and got stuck at the exit of the underwater warehouse. Many of my supplies were also sealed there, but I couldn’t move there. It’s too deep. With the technology of Suiyuan Star, an explosion may cause a trench earthquake and then a tsunami.”

    “The base of the recovery plan is at the deepest part of the trench and will be affected. Moreover, we found fire bugs inside the water source star. This kind of vibration will also cause the fire bugs to come out in full force, which is difficult to deal with.” Kaos spread his hands and smiled regretfully. “I can give you a submarine to go down and have a look, but I can’t help you with anything else unless you can let someone find a safe way to blast it and it can’t affect my recovery plan.”

    Lu Rong thought for a moment and slowly thought about it. He smiled, “So, you need some technical support, right?”

    Kaos also smiled, “It’s mutual benefit and win-win, what do you think?”

    “Okay,” Lu Rong said generously, “I will let Ni Shi come up with a plan.”

    “That’s my honor.” Kaos smiled, “But the actual operation may still have to wait for Eros to come back. Those flame bugs are too keen. Even a small movement will scare them. Without the suppression of the feathered serpent, the mermaid cannot handle such a thing.”

    “No problem.” Lu Rong agreed.

    After receiving Lu Rong’s consent, Kaos also relaxed a little. At this moment, he held his hands and suddenly teased Lu Rong, “The smell of Omega is almost overflowing from your body. When did you have a partner? Why haven’t you heard from Eros?”

    Lu Rong smiled and said, “Not yet, but it will be in the future.”

    Kaos raised his eyebrows, “Then the order of your interactions is really a bit unusual.”

    Lu Rong spread his hands and didn’t explain. He just shrugged helplessly, as if he had no choice.

    *

    Although Eros has not returned yet, Kaos’s submarine is quickly in place.

    Lu Rong was going to go down and take a look first.

    The underwater warehouse of Shuiyuan Star is actually a submarine parking lot built in the gaps between the rock walls of the trench. It has three floors, each hidden in the trench independently. It is full of submarines, and the materials are loaded in the submarine. When necessary, the submarine can be launched to move the underwater warehouse to other places.

    This is a forbidden land for mermaids, and Kaos’ mermaid army is stationed around it. Except when burying dead mermaids, no other mermaids will come here, and it has become a natural and pure place.

    After the earthquake, the other two submarine berths in Kaos were fine. Only this one was blocked by huge rocks because the entrance was very narrow.At the time of the incident, Kaos did not dare to contact Fenier without authorization. He wanted to wait for the limelight to pass before contacting Fenier to deal with it. However, he did not expect that after waiting, he would never have the chance to wait for Fenier.

    Lu Rong controlled Kaos’s submarine to go deep into the water and go to the positioning point given by Kaos.Fenier stayed on the Sky to monitor Lürong’s underwater situation in real time, so that emergency response could be made at any time.

    The submarine was very quiet as it sank. Only the beeping sound of the instruments occasionally appeared, wandering back and forth in the communication. When the submarine’s directional cruise stabilized, Lurong took some time to look at the bright communication light.

    “Have you ever done this kind of underwater work before?” Lu Rong asked.

    He didn’t get an answer from Finier immediately, and only heard a little breathing sound, so he said softly, with a bit of teasing, “Phil?…Are you asleep?”

    “No, no,” there was the sound of some clothing rubbing against Finier’s side. “I’m looking at your heartbeat data. He seems to be a little fast.”

    Lu Rong then belatedly remembered that his heartbeat was currently in Fenier’s hand. He was very calm and even a little aggrieved in his words, “Yes, because I wanted to know the answer to the question just now, but you didn’t answer me.”

    An inconspicuous sigh came from the other end of the communication. Fenier seemed to be stuck. After a few seconds, he replied helplessly: “Yes.”

    Lu Rong smiled silently. He noticed that Fenier was always unable to resist the grievances he showed to him. At this time, whatever he said, Fenier would answer truthfully. He put his fingers on his wrist, and a thin bright number appeared on his wrist.

    This is the biological monitor that was worn by Feinier before. Although it is no longer in use, Feinier has not taken it off, so it continues to operate, reporting Feinier’s vital signs to Lurong in real time. At this moment, Feinier’s heartbeat is at a normal high value.

    “Actually, I can also see your heartbeat.” Lu Rong said.

    Finier was not surprised, “I know.”

    When Feinier answered this question, Lu Rong noticed that Feinier’s heart rate slowed down, as if Feinier was not only not surprised, but also very accepting of it.

    “Then you don’t mind if I check the information on it at any time? All your information including your estrus period will be displayed on it.” Lu Rong asked.

    “I don’t mind.” Feinier’s heart rate was as steady as his tone.

    A very subtle feeling spread in Lu Rong’s heart. Fenier seemed to be too indulgent to him, and even allowed him to peek without any boundaries. This indulgence seemed to contain a different meaning. Lu Rong admitted that he was moved, and he even wanted to explore the truth behind this meaning.

    “Your heart rate has increased, has something happened?” Finier’s voice came unexpectedly.

    Lu Rong came back to his senses and smiled, “It’s okay, I just want to ask you a question.”

    “Say.” Finier’s heart rate began to rise.

    Lu Rong changed the subject, “You took these star cores away eight years ago. Did you know I needed them at that time?”

    After Fenier was silent for a few moments, he replied softly: “Shane needs to mobilize a batch of star cores. These star cores just happen to be included. I will swap them out and keep them here, but I dare not contact you rashly.”

    It seems to have been answered, but it seems to have avoided some key points.

    “So,” Lu Rong paused and smiled thoughtfully, “You have always been paying attention to my movements, right?”

    There was another brief blank, and then Fenier answered softly, “Yes.”

    Lu Rong slowly recalled many of his previous experiences, and then sorted out a trace of it, “Before, I applied for transfer from Broken Star. Some people said that this was a fantasy and that the empire would not approve it, but I got the approval.”

    “On the day I went to apply, I also saw you in the square.” Lu Rong said and couldn’t help laughing again, because the high-spirited Fenier appeared in front of his eyes, “You also saw me, right? And then you passed my application.”

    It made Finier feel ashamed to admit what he had done, but because Lürong had always emphasized telling the truth before, he was used to it and didn’t want to hide it from everyone like before. After all, Lürong was not one of those people and he didn’t want to complicate the matter, so Finier thought about it and reluctantly answered, “Yes.”

    Lu Rong was very satisfied with Fenier’s honesty, “Then you should have done a lot for me. Occasionally I feel as if someone is helping me behind my back. I thought it was me who was lucky, but it turns out you are my god of luck.”

    Lu Rong found that as soon as he finished saying these words, Feinier’s heartbeat became faster.

    After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the communication, Finier’s voice came, “You helped me too.”

    Lu Rong smiled, “This shows that we have a good understanding.”

    Fenier seemed to be laughing. The laughter was so soft that Lürong almost missed it, but he still caught the subtle smile. It was like the sunlight falling on the new snow, which could melt everything he came into contact with.

    “Did you personally deliver these star cores to the water? Is it one of your underwater operations?”

    “Yes.” Finier’s voice came through the communication.

    Lu Rong smiled, “I saw the entrance, the situation is indeed not that optimistic.”

    The entrance to the underwater warehouse is located at 65 meters according to the positioning. The boulder stuck in the trench and blocking the entrance is indeed huge. The submarine looks like a small fish the size of a thumb in front of the stone.

    Lu Rong released the underwater robot, circled around the boulder, and explored the exit. After recording the surrounding environment data one by one, he sent it back to the Sky. Then Fenier sent the data back to Lutes.The Leutes had been hanging in orbit outside the Shuiyuan Star, and Nishi immediately received all the information collected by Lu Rong.

    After the message was transmitted, Lu Rong also returned to the surface. He jumped out of the exit of the submarine and returned to the Sky hovering on the surface.The two did not continue the conversation. Fenier controlled the Sky and began to return to the cabin.

    The Sky was still parked at the mooring point near the wooden house, and Lürong put his hand on Fenier’s shoulder. Fenier showed no resistance to his approach or movements, but showed a sense that Lürong should be like this.The two of them walked forward side by side. Lu Rong subconsciously glanced at the surroundings. He always felt that he saw the shadow of the mermaid in the offshore sea, but when he looked closely, there was no trace. He regarded it as the reflection of the sea surface and went straight back to the house.
