The Ark traveled for more than ten days. The changes of the seasons were clearly felt in the Ark. The weather was getting warmer day by day, and various seabirds such as seagulls and petrels began to appear frequently on the sea and in the sky.
Flying in the waves, from a distance, it looks like black dots dancing in the waves.
In the Ark, people from all levels came to the outer corridor one after another and looked out. The long sea voyage made the people coming out of the company somewhat depressed.
Above the sea, as far as the eye can see is the ocean surface with treacherous waves and clouds, and seabirds make the ocean surface come alive. Apart from that, there is nothing else.
But the people standing in the corridor lingered there every day, and they were reluctant to return to the cabin easily. The yearning for freedom is human nature. Life in the ocean is really boring and boring. For a time, the corridor was overcrowded, and everyone
The tower had to issue temporary notices to ask people who came to the corridor to leave at staggered times to avoid artificial congestion.
In this way, some people got up in the early morning. They stood on the corridor of the Ark and looked into the dark sky in the distance. The first ray of sunlight in the morning slowly came out from that place.
This day was no exception. Someone came to the corridor in the early morning. As usual, they looked into the distance, waiting for the golden ray of sunshine to appear. As time passed by, they did not see the sun. On the contrary
, the sky not only did not become brighter, but instead became darker.
"What's going on?" someone asked in surprise.
"It was already dawn at this time yesterday," another person muttered dissatisfiedly. People who get up every morning to welcome the sunrise use their own words to idealize the scene at dawn, thus attracting people.
More people came out to watch the sunrise.
Just when people were talking about it, an order from the captain was issued by Ark, through the communicator, to the fleet of nine towers in front of Ark.
"The captain ordered that there is a giant iceberg fifty kilometers ahead of the left side of the Ark. The fleet in front should move 30 kilometers to both sides. After the Ark sinks the iceberg, each fleet will immediately move forward to clear the ice floes and dredge the channel. The rear fleet will move forward.
Accompanying ships, waiting for orders."
This captain's order was given to the ships outside the Ark. Inside the Ark, those standing in the corridor had noticed the changes ahead.
"Hey, look, why are the fleets responsible for guarding the Ark separated?"
"No, they weren't separated? Did they escape?" someone exclaimed. The darkness before dawn had disappeared, and the sky showed blue, which was enough for them to see the changes in the outside world.
"Escaped? How is it possible? The march of the ark is equivalent to fighting on the sea. Don't they want their lives if they flee without fighting?" someone said sarcastically.
"Oh, I saw it clearly. I didn't run away, but got out of the way? Could it be that there are enemies ahead?" As soon as the man finished speaking, there was some confusion in the corridor on this floor.
Yes, the fleet guarding the Ark in front moved to both sides. Doesn't that mean there are unknown enemies directly ahead?
Just when people were wondering, the trumpets in the ark began to sound.
"Captain's order, there is an iceberg ahead. Please pay attention on all floors. All members must remain calm and are strictly prohibited from walking around. People in the corridor outside should return to the cabin immediately without making any mistakes."
The horn rang again and again, and people in the corridor finally understood what was going on.

, they did not dare to disobey the captain's order and quickly returned to the cabin, not daring to talk nonsense outside again.
Shu Xingbei, who was practicing psychology, was alerted by the loudspeaker. He put down the book in his hand and was about to put it away, but then thought about it and put the book into the box. He could already read the contents of the book word for word.
Carry them all out after landing. Now, it's time to destroy them.
Shu Xingbei came outside the cabin and brought the small box to Li Xing's cabin.
Li Xing was sitting there. When he saw Shu Xingbei coming in, he greeted him with a smile, "General Instructor Nie, it's really rare to see him."
Shu Xingbei patted Li Xing's shoulder affectionately, "I've been busy reading a book these days and haven't come out. It made Captain Li laugh."
Li Xing suddenly lowered his voice and said: "There is something I want to remind you. After Vice Minister Fang died, Vice President Bao appointed a deputy director of the Security Department, his name is Xu Chengan."
"Any questions?" Shu Xingbei asked.
"It's not that there is a problem. It's just that there is a problem with his identity. I checked the information and found out that the security minister before me was named Xu Zian. He was taken down by the eldest lady because of his connection with the Second Tower. Now this one,
Is he Xu Zian's younger brother, or his biological brother," Li Xing replied.
"Does Vice President Bao know?" As soon as Shu Xingbei opened his mouth, he felt that he was asking nonsense. How many people are there in total on this floor of the Nine Towers? Bao Qian would never say that everyone knows them, at least they are from within the tower.
He is familiar with everyone.
"When Vice President Bao recommended it to the eldest lady, he said that he should not avoid relatives when he is promoted internally, and he should not avoid enemies when he is promoted externally. Moreover, Xu Chengan did not know about his brother's affairs, and there are not many people available at the moment, so," Li Xing is not good
Say no more.
"So the eldest lady agreed?" Shu Xingbei smiled playfully.
"Exactly." Li Xing always wanted to chat with Shu Xingbei a few times before, and this was his intention. Moreover, Li Xing knew about the situation no less than Shu Xingbei now.
The Nine Towers were weak, the Five Towers were suppressed by the captain, and the Third Young Master and the Fourth Young Master each took out 300 gold coins in order to redeem their subordinates who were imprisoned. These situations have spread like crazy on every floor.
Everyone knows that Aunt Zhao from the Second Tower is the captain's sister. At this time, Bao Qianjue promoted and appointed Xu Chengan, and the implications of this were enough to make Li Xing wary.
"What did the eldest lady say at that time?" Shu Xingbei asked.
"The eldest lady didn't show up, so Aunt Feng conveyed her message, saying that Vice President Bao is responsible for presiding over the Nine Towers," Li Xing said softly.
"That person came to the security department, have you contacted him?" Shu Xingbei also found the eldest lady's behavior a bit strange.
"He is in his early thirties. He has a smile on his face all day long. He greets everyone so that you can't find fault. I have been leading troops for so many years and I am most disgusted with such guys," Li Xing commanded after all.
Leading a fleet, not to mention violent in temperament, at least he is not a tolerant person. In the army, it is difficult for a tolerant person to become a leader.
"There's no rush. We don't have many tasks now. Let's wait until the iceberg incident is over. We are a fox and will always show its tail," Shu Xingbei said calmly.
Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man wearing a blue cloth gown walked towards Li Xing. This man was of medium height, with a round face and small eyes. There was a smile on his face. He looked like he was smiling, but he was also smiling.
Not laughing.
Shu Xingbei didn't even have to guess. This guy was clearly just
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It was Xu Chengan who was introduced by Li Xing.
"Minister Li, the captain ordered people on all floors to stay in the cabin quietly and to stop walking around. Our Nine Towers are not doing a good job," Shu Xingbei thought well. The person in front of him was Xu Chengan.
"Oh?" Li Xing raised his eyebrows, "What does Vice Minister Xu mean?"
"This is not from our security department, right? He's not in this cabin, right?" Xu Chengan directly attacked Shu Xingbei.
Li Xing was furious, "Xu Chengan, do you know who he is? He is the mission manager of our Nine Towers, Shu Xingbei. He came here to discuss something with me."
Mudd, we are the ones causing all the trouble.
"It turns out to be Manager Shu. I'm sorry, we haven't met before. The flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple," Xu Chengan looked very free and easy, not at all unhappy because of Li Xing's reprimand, and immediately apologized to Shu Xingbei
.
Li Xing thought the guy had stopped there, but he didn't show any emotion. Unexpectedly, Xu Chengan said again, "Manager Shu, although my position is not high, I still have to say that you violated
Captain’s order.”
Li Xing couldn't believe his ears. He had seen someone who was not afraid of death, but he had never seen someone so arrogant and boundless.
Shu Xingbei stopped Li Xing who was about to have a fit and looked at Xu Chengan quietly, "Are you trying to use the captain's order to suppress me?"
Xu Chengan looked at Shu Xingbei without fear, "I didn't mean that. The captain's order is to maintain the order of the entire Ark, and there is no pressure on people. Manager Shu, I want to correct your statement."
Li Xing was so angry that his face turned livid.
But Shu Xingbei repeatedly stopped him and told him not to take action.
"I'm sorry, I don't know who you are or your identity," Shu Xingbei already knew. This guy was here just for him.
The current security mission of the entire Nine Towers is maintained by the Seahawks. It can be said that more than 90% of the patrols are members of the Seahawks. If Xu Chengan was not a fool, he would not be stupid enough to fight with Shu Xingbei on the 20th floor.
The question is, is Xu Chengan a fool? Of course not.
Then, this person's motives are worth pondering.
Xu Chengan was leisurely waiting for Shu Xingbei's response. In his opinion, no matter how capable and arrogant Shu Xingbei was, he was just a young man. In terms of strategy, he could not possibly match him. In terms of force, Xu Chengan could not either.
Afraid of Shu Xingbei.
He really didn't know what was so outstanding about this young task department manager that attracted so many people to pay so much attention to him.
Today, he must make Shu Xingbei stumble.
For example, Shu Xingbei retorted, "What is the captain's order? Why should I obey the captain's order?" Well, Xu Chengan's goal was achieved.
If he reported Shu Xingbei's words directly, he didn't believe that the captain would let Shu Xingbei go.
However, Xu Chengan, who was strategizing, never expected that Shu Xingbei would ask about his identity.
Damn it, I’ve been talking about it till now, are you still pretending to be confused because you understand?
But Xu Chengan had to answer. Once he didn't answer, Shu Xingbei would immediately turn against him and try to subdue him.
"My name is Xu Chengan, and I am the newly appointed deputy director of the Security Department of the Nine Towers," Xu Chengan answered while suppressing his annoyance.
