Chapter five hundred and seventy-first bad feeling
"Ready to leave?"
The news brought by Colonel White shocked everyone present. Among them, Mike from NASA had the most intense reaction.
A very forced smile appeared on his face, and then he said to Colonel White: "Colonel, do you want us to go back? Back to the sea?"
"Why, wasn't what I just said clear enough?" Colonel White said in surprise.
Mike stood up and said: "But we have just discovered some secrets in this spacecraft. There are still many things on it that we need to investigate and discover! Although this is not an alien spacecraft, it is still
A spaceship built by humans in a parallel world? For such an important discovery, wasting one more day is a crime against all mankind... No, even for our foundation, it is a crime!"
Colonel White was indifferent to what Mike said. He started to clean up the things on the table and threw the food scraps on the plate into a special recycling bin. At the same time, he said: "Mike, I remember
You’re from Texas, right?”
Mike was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Yes, what's the matter?"
White stopped what he was doing, turned around and asked, "Then you must have seen a tornado?"
"Of course I have, Colonel, why are you talking about this now?"
White smiled and said: "Since you have seen a tornado, it is easy to explain, Mike, if you can understand that compared with the typhoon that is about to appear above us, all the tornadoes you have seen in the past are just farts.
Then please go back and pack your luggage as soon as possible, and then have a good sleep. We will set off early tomorrow morning, and I don’t want anyone to delay the evacuation of the large force due to any problems."
"But we don't actually need to leave?" Mike pointed to the top of his head and said, "We are now on the seabed a thousand feet deep. Even if the typhoon above us is 10,000 times more powerful than the tornado I have seen, it will not have any impact at all.
Not to us!”
"I understand, but this is an order."
"Fuck orders!"
Mike's mood may have been unstable due to alcohol. So after hearing his voice rising a little, other people around him immediately stood up and tried to comfort him.
Elizabeth, who had drunk the least amount of alcohol, was the first to stand up, pressing Mike's shoulders and saying, "Okay Mike, we're just leaving temporarily, it doesn't mean we won't come back."
"No! Elizabeth, you forgot one thing." Mike raised his finger and pointed at Elizabeth and Jamie. "Don't forget, the reason why we are here is not only because we are members of the foundation, but also because we are members of the foundation.
The most important reason is that people on the sea thought it was an alien spacecraft before, so they sent people like us here. But now they know that this is just a space-time spacecraft from a parallel world, then
We people are basically useless...especially you, Elizabeth, do you think they will let you study the difference between humans in the parallel world and humans in our world?"
Although Mike said this, Elizabeth didn't seem to care: "Mike, the purpose of my coming here is just for the aliens. Since there are no aliens now, I don't care whether I leave here or not."
"You...!" A look of hatred immediately appeared on Mike's face, and he turned to ask Jamie, "What about you? What do you think?"
"Um...Mike, I actually don't like the bottom of the sea that much, so to be honest, I'm happy to go back up there..."
"Oh my God!" Mike slapped the table in frustration, feeling very dissatisfied with the two of them.
He had nothing to say and left the restaurant after that, not knowing where he went.
Seeing that Mike left first, Colonel White also clapped his hands and told everyone that the party was over, and asked everyone to clear the table quickly and then go back to make preparations.
Because we didn't leave in time, Mo Xi and I were also caught by White and had to stay and clean up with them.
While clearing the table, Agent Harris suddenly laughed for no reason. Jamie next to him was startled by Harris's actions and asked him: "Why are you smiling so politely?"
Harris shook his head and said: "Nothing, I just thought that Mike was too pessimistic. Don't forget that although the order from above said that we should leave on the submarine tomorrow morning, have you ever thought about it?
If that typhoon suddenly accelerates and takes shape, the submarine that was supposed to pick us up may also cancel the operation."
Harris' words were originally just meant to tease Mike, but who knew that after hearing his words, Jamie's face suddenly stiffened.
"Harris... everyone is going to bed, why do you want to say such a thing?"
Harris glanced at Jamie inexplicably, and then seemed to see something, a malicious smile appeared on his face and said: "Jamie, you guy... aren't you afraid?"
"So what?" Jamie, who had been exposed, replied irritably, "I'm leaving tomorrow. How could you say such a thing before leaving? Don't you know it will bring bad luck?"
"Hey brother, just relax." Harris saw this and quickly comforted him, "Even if an accident does happen, you don't have to worry. There is enough water and food in this base, and the oxygen generating device can last for a week.
time, so even if something unexpected happens, you don’t have to worry at all.”
"Harris, I really doubt you are still human, because your blood is already cold!"
After saying these words, Jamie left here with a livid face.
Looking at his back, Harris looked puzzled and asked White: "Colonel, did I say the wrong thing?"
White rolled his eyes and shook his head.
In this way, the party that was originally very lively ended in a deserted state. After Mo Xi and I helped, we returned to the dormitory together.
Since there were not many things, I quickly packed my luggage and lay on the bed to get ready for sleep.
But probably because of what Harris just said, my mind was filled with thoughts about what would happen if we were really trapped in the base.
I stayed in bed like this for almost half an hour. Seeing that I still couldn't fall asleep, I got up and used an entertainment video player in the dormitory to find a movie for myself.
There are not many movies in the base, because I don’t know what the people in the foundation think. The movies they prepared in this deep-sea base are all ocean-related movies, either with the ocean as the background, or with stories.
It takes place in the ocean. Among these ocean-related movies, there are even fewer with Chinese subtitles. Therefore, after searching for a long time, I only found a movie called "Extreme Cold" with Chinese subtitles.
subtitle.
From the cover, this movie seems to be a thriller. Watching this kind of movie in the middle of the night seems to be more detrimental to sleep, but I have no choice, so I can only force myself to watch it.
And the final result is indeed similar to what I thought. This horror movie is indeed not suitable for me to watch in an underwater base late at night, because after watching this movie, I felt a little chilly because of the plot in the movie.
After staying up for more than two hours, I finally fell asleep.
Due to lack of enough sleep, I unexpectedly had two dark circles under my eyes the next morning.
While eating breakfast, Mo Xi saw the look on my face and immediately chuckled: "Look at you, you have dark circles under your eyes. Did Harris' words last night give you nightmares?"
"It's not because of Harris," I yawned slightly, "it's because of a horror movie I watched. I never thought it would be so bloody. I couldn't sleep at all."
"Watching horror movies in the middle of the night? You really do."
While Mo Xi was joking with me, others entered the restaurant one after another, preparing to have our last breakfast at the base.
