After sailing on the sea for more than two hours, the supply ship finally arrived at its destination---Ais Marine Research Base.
Owen stood on the boat and looked from a distance. The marine research base was in the shape of a sun. In the middle was the main building, which was only a small floor. The center part was a tower. Every corner of the base could be seen 360 degrees.
, but the height is not too high. It is said that the real part is underwater, several times higher than above water, and is surrounded by concrete and alloy mesh.
The supply ship docked, and crew members wrapped the cables around the dock. People began to get off the ship one after another, and some workers began to load and unload supplies. These were the supplies, fresh water, food, various daily necessities, fuel, etc. that had just been transported.
Owen and Eddie followed the crowd to the pier. The workers who came with the boat were all workers here. The crowd passed through a fence gate and then followed the iron corridor through the sea area and entered the main building.
When Owen and Eddie were wondering whether to blend in with the crowd, a brown-haired white guy came up to them.
"Hey man, you must be the new structural engineer?"
"Uh... yes, the people at the pier asked me to come over by boat. They said there was an interview here."
Owen replied.
The white guy came up with a smile and shook hands with Owen and Irving: "My name is Scott, I am the structural engineer here. Welcome, man, come this way..."
Scott pursed his lips, motioning for the two of them to follow him, then turned around and led them towards the main building.
"My name is Owen, this is Eddie, when do we start the interview?" Owen did not use a fake name.
"No need, I've already interviewed you..."
Scott shrugged, and Owen asked suspiciously: "When?"
"Just now."
Scott patted Owen on the shoulder, "Okay, buddy, don't be so nervous. This job is very simple, much simpler than you think. If you have done it before, you will definitely have no problem. I will get the information later."
Just show it to you. I said it is very simple. Oh, by the way, you have to talk to the doctor in person about the treatment. She is the head here and she has the final say here..."
"she?"
"Yes, Dr. Susie is a woman, an excellent doctor of biomedicine, a beauty, and single..."
Scott said and winked at Owen.
Owen was speechless. Whether he was single or not had little to do with him. Anyway, he wasn't really here to apply. Scott was in front. Eddie and Owen looked at each other after the disaster. Owen found that there were many people walking towards the pier.
, asked: "What are these people doing?"
"They go home. Today is the weekend. Most people will go home. They will come back on Monday..."
Scott took them into a large elevator and introduced as he walked: "Oh, you must be here for the first time. Let me give you a brief introduction first. This used to be a submarine base during World War II, and it was used by the US military.
It was built as a supply depot for submarines. After World War II, Ace Pharmaceutical Group took over the place and built an above-water guardrail and an underwater laboratory, making it what it is now."
The elevator closed under Scott's operation and then sank. Owen looked around curiously, and soon he discovered that the elevator had entered the water, and the dark sea water outside could be seen through the transparent glass.
Scott continued: "You spend most of your time working here underwater. Living underwater is actually similar to living in space. You must be very careful. The consequences of any mistakes will be serious. There are three layers underwater.
The first floor is the living area, the second floor is the laboratory and studio, and the third floor is the engineering area and closed underwater passage. In addition, the entire base is surrounded by an 800-meter titanium alloy mesh. The place where we often work is
It’s on the third floor, but recently the titanium alloy fences in many places need to be replaced, so this job is also ours..."
As Scott rambled on, Owen noticed that the elevator stopped at the third floor. Scott opened the iron gate and led them to a room.
"Okay, friend, these are the information. Take a look at it first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me..."
Scott threw a stack of information to Owen and then entered the bathroom. Owen picked up the information and flipped through it, especially quickly memorizing the terrain and the functions of each area. These were basic skills during SEAL training, and they had almost become
instinct.
Owen quickly scanned the information, then looked at Eddie, who came over and whispered: "I remember this place, we are on the third floor now, Avril's room is on this floor, it seems not far from here..."
The sound of the toilet flushing came from the bathroom. Owen and Irving stopped talking. Scott came out and was about to speak when a tower announcement suddenly came from the speaker on the wall.
"Scott, Matt wants you to come to the water..."
Scott shrugged: "I'm sorry, someone is looking for me. You take a look first. I'll be back in a while. You can make preparations. Then I will take you to see Dr. Susie. I'll ask her if she can stay."
The two said there was no problem, and Scott went out. After hearing the elevator door closing, Owen threw the information away and followed Eddie out.
"Go that way..."
Eddie figured out the direction, and then walked towards an aisle. Not far away, he stopped in front of a door and heard him say: "This is it, I can't remember it wrong..."
Owen saw that there was a combination lock at the door, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong. The other rooms on this floor had ordinary locks, and only the three rooms in this row had combination locks.
Owen looked around to see if there was no one, took out his pistol and got ready. He leaned on the door and listened for a while and then nodded to Eddie. Eddie flicked his finger, recalled it, and then pressed four buttons.
There was a beep, the password verification was passed, and the door opened in response.
Owen held the door with one hand, and then the two of them started cutting corners in a cqb position. The corner cutting was quickly completed and no one was in the room.
Owen entered the room. The room was very tidy, with almost no personal belongings.
"This room is for Avril Lavigne's exclusive use. Her satellite phone must be here..."
The two began to rummage through the boxes. Owen originally thought about whether he could find anything else of value, but except for some weapons and medicines, there was basically nothing else in the room.
The room in the research base is not big. Owen searched it very carefully. He had been trained in targeted searches when he was a policeman and CTU. Ordinary people like to hide things wherever they like, and terrorists or agents like to hide things.
He knows all positions.
Finally, Owen found the satellite phone hidden in the mezzanine of the drawer. Owen opened the phone and found that, as he had guessed, it required a password. It seemed that this could only be done by Sha Baitian.
After finding the satellite phone, their goal was achieved, so naturally they left immediately.
The two closed the door, ran quickly to the elevator, and then took the elevator back to the sea. When they ran out of the main building, they happened to see the ship leaving.
The boat had already sailed a few hundred meters away. Owen and Eddie stopped speechlessly in front of the iron fence. It seemed that they would not be able to leave today.
