Shu Xingbei came towards Fang Shiyun's cabin. He wanted to talk to Fang Shiyun as soon as possible, so that when Ark's senior officials interrogated them, they would not answer the same questions and be suspected by Zhao Shangzhi.
Fang Shiyun's cabin door was closed tightly, and the patrol guard outside knocked on the door several times, but did not open it.
"Do you have a key?" Shu Xingbei had a bad premonition for no reason.
Will Fang Shiyun betray him? It's hard to say if you know the person but not the heart. But Shu Xingbei immediately ruled out this possibility because when he asked Fang Shiyun to transport the items salvaged from the ruins to the Seahawks, he specially observed Fang Shiyun.
Fang Shiyun still had that kind of joy that couldn't hide anything on his face. He smiled proudly at that time and said: "What's so great about those towers? Isn't it our nine towers that finally salvaged the items?"
The patrolman hesitated for a moment and said yes.
"Open the door," Shu Xingbei urged.
"Yes," the patrolman forced himself to open the door with the key. Just as he thought, Fang Shiyun was lying on the bed sleeping.
"Manager Shu, Vice Minister Fang is taking a rest. What do you think?" The patrolman smiled and wanted to go back.
These were the limited number of patrols who were left behind by Fang Shiyun. They turned out to be people from the tower. Those who could be left behind by Fang Shiyun were of course Fang Shiyun's confidants.
"Go over and take a look at the situation," Shu Xingbei's face suddenly darkened. His tone also became cold.
He did not hear Fang Shiyun's breathing, nor could he feel Fang Shiyun's heartbeat.
The patrolman approached Fang Shiyun's bed and saw that Fang Shiyun's eyes were closed tightly, and his face, which was a little rusty red, had turned gray.
"No," the patrolman stretched out his hand to check Fang Shiyun's breath and immediately exclaimed, "Manager Shu, Fang, Minister Fang, is he dead?"
Shu Xingbei had walked to the bed. He looked at Fang Shiyun silently and stretched out his hand to check Fang Shiyun's breathing. If he could be cured, he could snatch Fang Shiyun back from death as soon as possible.
However, Fang Shiyun's whole body was already cold.
"Manager Shu, Manager Shu, Director Fang, he, why did he die? The door is still locked, did he commit suicide?" The patrolman couldn't control his emotions and shouted loudly.
Shu Xingbei turned around and saw a piece of paper on the cabinet next to the bed.
He took it in his hand and saw that it read: "Manager Shu, I'm sorry, I was intercepted by pirates when I was escorting the items, and all the salvaged items were snatched away. Only one box of Huang Chengcheng's items was left.
, plus two boxes of crossbow arrows. Sorry. You're done
I participated in the relic salvage mission, but I screwed it up. I knew that I was guilty of a serious crime and left one step ahead of schedule! I hope the eldest lady and Vice President Bao can take care of my family for the sake of my years of hard work, no credit but hard work.
, give them a chance to live.”
"Manager Shu, what's written on it?" the patrolman walked over and asked with a sad look on his face.
Shu Xingbei showed the piece of paper to the patrol guard, and then ordered: "Hurry and report to Vice President Bao."
"Yes," the patrolman didn't care too much and ran out quickly.
"Old Fang, I didn't expect your mind to be so flexible. This time it was my fault," Shu Xingbei murmured in his heart.
The fault indeed lies with Shu Xingbei. When Shu Xingbei asked Fang Shiyun to carry a box of yellow bullets to Mu Feng, Fang Shiyun already understood Shu Xingbei's plan. Shu Xingbei never thought of handing these ammunition to Fang Zhou
.

Next, he will inevitably be interrogated by the top management of Ark. Fang Shiyun thinks he can't handle it. And betraying Shu Xingbei and waiting for him will not be a good end.
After all, the patrol forces on the 20th floor are basically under the control of Li Xing. As for the relationship between Li Xing and Shu Xingbei, is there any need to talk about it?
If there is no favor between the two parties, waiting for Fang Shiyun's fate is to die.
Rather than being forced to death, it is better to take the initiative.
Shu Xingbei saw more from that piece of paper. Fang Shiyun was still kind to him, and even before he died, he wanted to excuse him.
After a while, Bao Qianjue came over with Li Xing and other middle-level officials. Even the eldest lady got the news and sent Aunt Feng over to check on the situation.
Dr. Zhang from the institute walked over, looked at Fang Shiyun's pupils, and said, "I have been taking poison for more than an hour. I have long run out of breath." After saying that, Dr. Zhang shook his head and walked out.
Bao Qianjue's expression was solemn. After a long while, he looked at Shu Xingbei and said, "You rushed back immediately to ask Vice Minister Fang about the situation?"
Shu Xingbei nodded slightly and followed Bao Qianjue's words: "When I saw him transferring three boxes to Mu Feng in the sea, I knew something was wrong. I chased him all the way to the Ark."
Bao Qianjue let out a long sigh, "I have no choice but to report it to the captain truthfully."
"Since Vice Minister Fang has a request before his death, please ask Vice President Bao to properly take care of his family," Shu Xingbei felt unspeakable guilt in his heart.
If he had known that Fang Shiyun would take this path, he should not have asked Fang Shiyun to bring people over to transfer the treasure after he succeeded.
"Fang Shiyun has a cousin on the Ark, right? From now on, food and clothing will be rationed according to the standards of middle managers. At the same time, she will be transferred to the research institute," said Bao Qianbang, who also knew Fang Shiyun's situation very well.
"Come here, transport Fang Shiyun's body to the institute, freeze it and seal it, without making any arrangements until the captain's order is issued."
Bao Qianjue made arrangements in an orderly manner, and then said to Shu Xingbei: "You go back and rest first. As soon as there is a call, you come over as soon as possible."
"Yes," Shu Xingbei lowered his head and walked away silently.
Back in his cabin, Shu Xingbei's mood was extremely low.
"What happened?" the red lady asked softly.
"Fang Shiyun died. He committed suicide by taking poison," Shu Xingbei suddenly had tears in his eyes.
The red lady's heart was filled with excitement. She immediately realized the reason for Shu Xingbei's depression.
"Shu Xingbei, there is a saying, although it's hard to hear, I still have to tell you. Even if you hand over all the salvaged items this time, you will still die in the end. No matter it is you or Fang Shiyun," the red lady said intentionally
The ground pulled Shu Xingbei out of his guilt.
"How do you say it?" Shu Xingbei's voice was low.
"If Zhao Shangzhi is determined to weaken the power of each tower, the situation he most wants to see after the seven towers are sent out is to fight with the pirates. At the same time, no matter which tower finally salvages items from the ruins, he can say
It's much more than that, that is to say, he won't be satisfied even if you hand over 37 boxes of ammunition," the red lady said quietly, "This is a dead end."
"So, is it Fang Shiyun's best choice to commit suicide?" Shu Xingbei refused to accept the red lady's speculation.
"Let's do this, Shu Xingbei, we will wait and see. Even if you complete the task of salvaging the ruins,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The other towers did not complete the task, right? Are the other towers responsible for the incompetence? Should they be punished? You completed the salvage task, but there is no strong evidence to prove that you only salvaged this much. Then someone will accuse you of embezzling it.
Part of it, can you? Don't worry about it now, you have to think carefully about how to deal with this dead situation," the red lady advised earnestly.
Shu Xingbei said nothing.
In his opinion, the matchmaker was trying another way to persuade him.
"If you want to resurrect Nie Lan, you can't die. If you die, how will you realize your wishes and ideals?" The Red Lady asked, "As a man, are you going to be defeated by this setback in front of you?"
Shu Xingbei slowly raised his head, and his eyes became bright and clear again. Yes, was he just overwhelmed by guilt?
To be honest, Fang Shiyun's suicide had nothing to do with Shu Xingbei.
He Shu Xingbei never threatened Fang Shiyun from beginning to end. His guilt towards Fang Shiyun was more because of the piece of paper left by Fang Shiyun.
Although Red Lady's words failed to reduce Shu Xingbei's guilt, they made him more vigilant.
Thinking about it carefully, if Zhao Shangzhi really wanted to weaken the power of each tower, even if he handed over all the salvaged items, what would he do?
"Thank you," Shu Xingbei said sincerely to Lady Hong.
Seeing that Shu Xingbei had regained his energy, Lady Hong said softly: "You don't need to thank me. I have completely understood my destiny from the moment I was rescued by you. After all, you and I
, and most of the people on the Ark, are objects that can be sacrificed at any time. During the years I stayed in the tower, I have long understood this. Now, all the blood and cruelty in the past have returned again.
.”
Shu Xingbei took out the gun from his waist and handed it to the red lady, "Keep it for self-defense."
The red lady didn't answer this time, "You put it away first. If someone really attacks here, I can die at any time."
Shu Xingbei fell silent.
The cruelty of reality forced him to face more complicated situations.
Throughout the morning, no one came to Shu Xingbei. Shu Xingbei guessed that it was because the other towers had not returned yet.
In the afternoon, Mu Feng, who was on the sea, finally encountered the combined force of the other six towers. More than 700 people took four boats and headed towards the ark.
"Everyone, what's your harvest?" Mu Feng drove over in a speedboat.
"Harvest?" The leaders of the five towers all stood on the deck of the ship at the front. They looked bitter.
"Reporting to Mr. Mu, we failed in this mission to salvage the ruins." The people who salvaged the ruins died on the island. Even the ship was ran away by the pirates. They were able to come back because they were called.
Respond to ships.
As for the ruins, they also went there. Unfortunately, it was clearly swept away and nothing was left.
Mu Feng had already learned about the situation from Shu Xingbei. Now that he saw the leaders of each tower dejected, how could he not understand the situation.
"Since there is nothing gained, everyone, please follow me back to the Ark first, and report the situation to the captain, so that I can do my job," Mu Feng comforted.
The group did not expect Mu Feng to be so easy to talk to, and they were all a little surprised.
