"Of course, do we seem very untrustworthy?" Caesar asked after taking a puff of his cigar.
Yuan Zhisheng wanted to nod and ask Gattuso why he was so ignorant of himself? But the task was imminent. Even if Kassel Academy sent three lunatics, they had already blocked everything in the family on these three lunatics.
He cannot shake the morale of the army before going out for the expedition. This is a taboo in the military field.
"We should be asking you this, right? After all, the three of us are risking our lives to dive down. If the mission fails, you will be in danger at most, but we will die directly." Lu Mingfei stared.
Yuan Zhisheng said, "Yuan Jun, failure of the mission will not benefit anyone. Let's not be suspicious of each other at this time."
"Sorry, this matter is so important that I have to treat it with caution. There is indeed something wrong with the way I asked the question." Yuan Zhisheng nodded, then picked up the communicator and connected to a channel.
"This is the Xumizuo offshore floating platform of the Japanese branch. The director of the Executive Bureau, Yuan Zhisheng, is in charge of liaison. Professor Schneider, hello."
"It's not the planned mission time yet, right? Then let me smoke a cigarette first." A hoarse voice came from the other side of the communicator, accompanied by heavy breathing.
This was not the first time that Yuan Zhisheng had spoken to Professor Schneider, but he still couldn't get used to the professor's voice.
To be precise, everyone who hears Schneider speaking for the first time will feel horrified because they cannot imagine the sound that a human throat can make. It is like the remains of an old gramophone turning a rusty turntable.
Imagine that this person's trachea and lungs must be riddled with holes.
"Okay, Professor Schneider. There are still thirty minutes left before the estimated time. The Rock Flow Research Institute will complete the final inspection and the warm-up of the Dieste within 30 minutes. Thirty minutes later, the Caesar Team 3
People will officially dive into the abyss." Yuan Zhisheng said seriously.
There was no response from the other side of the communicator, which seemed to be acquiescing to Yuan Zhisheng's words.
After a while, a violent coughing sound came from the communicator. The violent sound echoed in the enclosed space, which was particularly frightening. It seemed that the person opposite might be out of breath or cough up the entire lungs in the next moment.
…
Kassel Academy Headquarters, Central Control Room.
Today, the place is empty. Only Schneider is sitting in front of a huge screen in the entire control room. On the screen is the scene on the Sumeru Seat in the Sea of Japan on the other side of the ocean.
Through the screen, you can see scientific researchers in white uniforms running up and down, surrounding the Dirieste painted with red and white Japanese flags. There is also a bright yellow "giant cigar" that is hung on a crane.
Installed on the Trieste, the "Giant Cigar" is the protagonist this time, a refined sulfur bomb, a weapon that can kill ancient dragon embryos.
Of course, the Caesar team also appeared on the screen. Schneider quietly looked at the most outstanding children in the academy, smoking hand-rolled cigarettes one after another, making earth-shattering coughs, and lowering his eyes.
Dark and unclear.
"Are you trying to kill yourself?" The door of the central control room was pushed open, and what jumped into his eyes was a shiny bald head.
"Professor Manstein." Schneider whispered, "Let me guess, the school board sent you to ask me to stop the Longyuan Project, right? Because the Gattuso family will not allow their heir to go against a
They only encouraged the embryos to explode eight thousand meters underwater. They didn’t want Caesar to make any mistakes.”
"Don't you know this better than anyone else?" Manstein threw the school board's fax on the table, along with the warning letter stamped with a red background.
"But I'm sorry, I have no reason to take orders from the Gattuso family. I am not a dog of the school board. The implementation resolution of the Longyuan Plan was approved by the principal. I am only the monitor and executor of the plan, and I have no power to suspend the plan.
." Schneider said calmly.
"This is about me, right?" Manstein asked, "In the eyes of Professor Schneider, I am a dog of the school board?"
"So far it seems like this." Schneider seemed to have no intention of communicating with Manstein, "Let alone you, it would be useless even if the young secretary of the school board or Frost came in person.
The only person who stopped Long Yuan's plan was the principal, but the principal would not agree, and his attitude would only be more resolute than mine."
"Frost couldn't come. When he learned that Caesar was about to dive into the abyss, he suffered a heart attack and was sent to the intensive care unit. He also cursed Cassel College for being white-eyed wolves and using their Gattuso family
The deep submersible is still trying to kill their heir. I think if nothing happens to him, he will definitely use a detonator to blow open the door of the central control room, and then put a shotgun on your head to order you to stop. Even if the principal is here, he will
He will do the same thing." Manstein took out a black magnetic card. "He will definitely do it. For this reason, he even put the Gattuso family's black card with me. This card has the same ownership as the principal.
Norma will obey any authority."
"Without Norma's assistance, I cannot remotely control the mission, and the Longyuan Project will be forced to stop." Schneider said, "There are still twenty minutes before the mission starts, why haven't you done what you said?"
After a moment of silence, Manstein said: "Because I'm not here to suspend my mission at all. I'm not here because of the entrustment of the school board."
"What do you mean?" Schneider was stunned.
"Frost did hand over the power to me, let me come, and offered me a generous offer that I couldn't refuse." Manstein said, "As long as I stop the Longyuan Project, I will be in Kasai
I have a promising career in college, and they promised me that before I turn sixty, I will unseat my bastard father and let me take the position of vice president."
"Congratulations in advance, Mr. Vice-Principal." Schneider said lightly with a disdainful tone.
"Friend, there is no need to ridicule me like this. Didn't I say that I didn't come here for this? Besides, although my dad is a bastard, I have to admit that I can't sit in his fourth position." Manstein
After a pause, "Before Frost handed me the black card, someone sent a confidential document to my mailbox."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh? Something more important than taking office as Vice Chairman?"
"The name of the file is "Kaallitnunaat", which translates to 'Greenland'. Eleven years ago...'Greenland Ice Incident'!" Manstein slowly spit out the file name with a serious expression.
Unleash a devil.
Schneider, who originally had an indifferent expression, widened his eyes after hearing the words "Greenland Ice Sea", and his eye sockets almost burst. His breathing became obviously rapid, as if a broken bellows had been opened violently, and the breath
It seemed as if it was not inhaled and spit out by him, but seeping out from the holes in his lungs and respiratory tract. The terrifying breathing sound expanded rapidly and echoed throughout the entire central control room.
"What did you say!" Schneider yelled, accompanied by violent coughing, "How is it possible... How is it possible!"
"Yes, I was also frightened when I saw that document. After all, it was an incident eleven years ago, and I looked through Norma's records, and there was no record of even one word about that incident.
It is obviously such an important event." Manstein said, "I know that eleven years ago, a guy with the ID name 'Prince' posted a post on the hunter website about the dragon civilization hidden in the Greenland Sea. The school board sent
You go, and you encounter a 'door' there. Although I don't know what this 'door' is, after passing through the door, you encounter a black shadow, which is a hatched dragon embryo, just like the one in the file.
Describing the dark shadow as 'a totem on an ancient mural'."
"You encountered dragons. Almost all of your most proud students were wiped out. Your respiratory tract was frostbitten due to the cold airflow, and it was still covered with hot dragon blood. Your respiratory tract and lungs became fragmented. To this day,
You have to wear an oxygen mask to stay alive, and part of your respiratory tract is replaced with a plastic hose, otherwise you will die because of a weakened respiratory system or lung failure... but no one in school knows this."
"They knew how dangerous it was but still had to risk their lives. They concealed such a big thing. Some of the people who knew about the incident were sent to distant countries to guard for life, and some were directly silenced by them. The school board of directors said
Those bastards are simply demons that eat people without spitting out their bones!"
Manstein punched the conference table next to Schneider, and the bald head bulged with angry veins due to excitement.
"This is obviously a top secret that cannot be saved. There is no record of this matter in any system or hard disk, yet it is so detailed...Who is it?" Schneider's iron-gray eyes stared at Manstein, "Who is it?
Sent you that email!”
"I don't know." Looking at Schneider's ferocious face, Manstein shook his head, "I really don't know. The sender was anonymous. He set himself on fire after reading the document. Not even a single byte of trace was left behind, but...
…”
Manstein paused: "It's more like a self-narrative than a document. The sender restored the event from a first-person perspective and described it in detail. It felt like...
Someone who has experienced this personally.”
Schneider was silent for a long, long time, until a reminder came out on the large LCD screen that there were only five minutes remaining before the countdown to the start of the mission.
"I know, friend, you want to swallow the evil alone. This time you want to take on the role of the villain yourself. If the Caesar team does not stop the hatching, the Greenland ice incident eleven years ago will happen again. However, this time
The consequences are likely to be more severe than last time." Manstein said, "So neither you nor the principal will ever allow this dragon to rise from the bottom of the sea. For this reason, you even killed the three best children in the college.
They were sent out, including your student Chu Zihang. They thought this mission was just a dive, but in reality it was much more dangerous. They had to face a dragon that might hatch at any time."
"Yes, you are right. I can't let the nightmare of eleven years ago happen again. If I can dive personally, I will definitely put on a diving suit and jump into the Trieste without hesitation, even if it costs me a lot of money."
"My life." Schneider took a puff of cigarette, "But my body no longer allows me to do this, so I can only send out the children I trust and let them face this danger. I am one
An out-and-out evil person, only a evil person can serve as the head of the execution department."
"But I need to know the difference between you and the school board. They are demons, and you are evil. I at least want to make sure that you have not lost your human nature. Among the people who infiltrated are the heirs of the Gattuso family.
With my old friend Guderian's student Lu Mingfei, and your student Chu Zihang, my student Xia Mi wouldn't want to see any accidents happen to her boyfriend." Manstein said seriously for the first time.
Staring intently at Schneider's knife-like eyes, it was also the first time he addressed the professor who was feared by everyone by his first name, "Schneider, tell me, if things are beyond our control, you will not choose to sacrifice those children."
"I will not joke with the child's life." Schneider and Manstein looked at each other quietly, "I promise."
"Okay." Manstein got the answer he wanted, and he pushed the second black magnetic card to Schneider's hand.
"What is this?" Schneider picked up the black card. On the black card was the logo of Kassel College, the semi-decayed World Tree.
"It was mailed to me an hour ago. It was delivered by SF Express and anonymous collect. I thought it was a joke made by some student. As a disciplinary committee member, I often receive scare dolls and porn stars.
It was a photo, but when I took it apart, I was scared for the second time today." Manstein said slowly, "This is a permission card, which represents a higher authority than Frost and the principal. Its only
The function is to activate another system of Norma..."
"A personality named 'EVA'."
…
"The pressure test has been confirmed. All three data are normal. Preparations for the dive are complete!"
"The circuit test is completed, the current situation is stable, and the voltage domain value is normal under full load mode!"
"The assembly of the refined sulfur bomb is completed, and the propulsion system is operating perfectly!"
Countless technicians dressed in white surrounded the Dieste to complete each final test. Thousands of cables and dozens of instruments were connected to the deep submersible, which was working rapidly. The flames and hurricanes ejected by the thrusters destroyed these.
Everyone was sweating and embarrassed, but no one was distracted.
They did not dare to neglect in the slightest. This was not only the first time humans explored the Abyss, but also a battle between the Eight Snake Qi Family and the Fierce Ghosts, a war between hybrids and dragons.
Caesar was also among the scientific researchers. Although he knew nothing about these complicated circuits and tests, he was the leader of the team, and the leader could not let his subordinates work while he was alone.
He took off his white captain's uniform, revealing his perfect muscles and pounding on the Trieste, which was about to carry their lives. Whenever the staff completed a test, he patted them on the shoulder, with ice-blue eyes.
Showing appreciation like a big brother, showing a bright smile and white teeth to show encouragement.
