The door opened. Granny Cai frowned and saw that there were many people standing outside the house. The one in the lead seemed a bit familiar. After carefully identifying them, Granny Cai said coldly: "Why are you here again?"
Su Che laughed dryly and said: "Grandma Cai, I'm sorry to bother you again, but this time I'm not here for an interview, but because I need your help."
Granny Cai looked at Su Che, and then at the girls behind Su Che who were either cute, cool, sexy, or handsome, and said, "I'm over eighty years old, can I?"
help you with what?"
Su Che said seriously: "Mother-in-law, didn't you mention in the previous interview that you and your husband encountered a 'monster' in the sea area of xx?"
"Well, that's it. Don't you believe me? Why do you bring it up again?"
"That's it, mother-in-law, that 'monster'...may be back again."
Grandma Cai was startled when she heard this, her eyes clearly showing surprise and excitement. She trembled: "What did you say? Say it again."
Su Che thought to himself: 'Sure enough, Granny Cai has hidden a lot of things...'
"Mother-in-law, please don't get excited. Let's go in and talk, okay?"
Granny Cai could not hide her excitement, but she still restrained herself. She turned around and entered the house, saying as she walked: "The room is small, so you can just sit down."
Su Che and others didn't really care.
But Su Ran was the only one who had some mysophobia. She especially hated the smell of fish, so she stopped at the door.
After a few people entered the house, Granny Cai poured tea for everyone, and then asked pretending not to care: "I told you before that the 'monster' existed, but you didn't believe it, why... now that thing comes out again."
Something wrong?"
In fact, Su Che didn't really believe in the existence of any "monster" until now. The reason why he said this was just because he didn't want to make Granny Cai angry.
Now I can only laugh and say: "It's because I am short-sighted, but I haven't seen the 'monster' yet. It's just that one of our Su family's scientific research ships disappeared in that sea area, because it was too
It was a coincidence, so we speculated that we should have encountered the 'monster' you had encountered before, so... we were thinking, mother-in-law, if you could help us."
Hearing this, Granny Cai stopped moving her hands. After being silent for a while, she turned her back to Su Che and said, "It turns out it was just speculation... I thought you really saw it."
Su Che knew that he had said something wrong. He was about to make up for it when Su Lan suddenly said: "Mother-in-law, this is the first video material sent back by our frontline rescue team. It also includes the last video sent back by the missing scientific research vessel.
A piece of audio, you might as well watch and listen to it first?"
Grandma Cai turned around after hearing this. She looked at the cute and cute girl in front of her, and the coldness on her face suddenly disappeared. She wiped her hands, walked over and took the mobile phone from Su Lan's hand and said: "Girl, baby
, you look much cuter."
There was teasing hidden in these words, and Su Che couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When I opened the video on my mobile phone, I saw a slightly trembling picture. A huge prototype pit appeared on the sea surface, and a large amount of seawater was constantly pouring into the pit. The scene looked very amazing.
The rescue ship did not dare to get too close and could only use helicopters to observe the pit area from the air.
As soon as the scene turned, the person responsible for filming had begun to conduct an in-depth investigation of the pit with the help of a single cyclone auxiliary equipment. During the investigation process, the video picture was interfered. After the rescuers discovered the abnormality, they did not choose to continue deeper, but promptly
chose to retreat.
The video also ends here.
Su Che and the others had all watched these videos before they came, and as Zhang Xian'an said before, even if someone proactively asked them to leave, they might take the initiative to go.
Now it seems that Zhang Xian'an's words were not just a lie, but proved that he had known that these things would happen.
Seeing this scene, Granny Cai's hands began to shake slightly, and these details fell into the eyes of Su Che and others.
Grandma Cai didn't speak. She turned on the audio and heard such a conversation.
…
"It has been confirmed that this is the area where the explosion occurred. Please inform us that we are preparing to enter the submarine corridor."
"yes."
"Old Wang, are you sure you want to go down with us?"
"Of course. I've been climbing mountains and wading in rivers for so many years just for today. If you don't take me down, I won't be done with you!"
"Haha, that's okay, but you are old after all, so you should go back to the cabin first. It will be a bumpy road later!"
"Hey, don't always make excuses about my age. You are three years older than me. Why don't you go down there!"
"Haha, that's different. I'm the captain."
"Come on, I'll stay here with you, neither of us brothers can persuade the other."
"Hmm...Okay then, how are you preparing?"
"Ready, the main and auxiliary engines are fully loaded, we can set off, Captain."
"Okay, bearing calibration, move forward at full speed!"
“Doooo——————————————————————————”
As a huge engine roar sounded, the audio ended.
…
This conversation has been confirmed by Wang Gangdan and Su Ran. The captain in the conversation is also named Su, and his name is Su Changan. He was a maritime sentry at the former South China Sea branch of the National Security Department. Since the disbandment of the National Security Department, Su Changan has returned.
He arrived at Su's Enterprise and took over the captaincy of the Momoa in 2075.
And that old Wang was Wang Wuchuan. His voice was slightly hoarse and very recognizable. As soon as Wang Gangdan heard it, she knew it was her adoptive father Wang Wuchuan.
After Grandma Cai watched and listened to the videos and audios, she was silent for a while and said: "Now that the matter is over, I have nothing to hide from you. In fact, the monster I mentioned did not appear in that sea area."
"Huh?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, only Su Che seemed calmer.
"More than sixty years ago, my husband and I were not the only ones who went to sea together. We were also accompanied by scientific researchers and archaeological experts from many countries. Their only purpose in going to that sea area was to visit the 'First Gate'."
"The first door?" Su Lan was startled: "You don't mean something like Antarctica..."
"Yes, it is the 'Dead Sea Gate' left by the forerunners, but the three gates located in Antarctica, Germany and Siberia were all formed later. Before that, there had always been a gate of origin similar to the original coordinates on the earth.
, and we went to sea just to look for it." Granny Cai's words really surprised everyone present and left them speechless.
But Su Che felt very strange.
I even have some doubts about the authenticity and purpose of what Granny Cai said...
After all, before today, she had been hiding the truth for more than sixty years. Today, just because Su Lan showed her those videos and listened to that conversation, she opened her heart?
Su Che gave Su Lan a look. Su Lan was smart and would not just believe Granny Cai's words.
As for Su Ran, who had always been calm, he suddenly asked: "Grandma Cai, you always said that you and your husband encountered a sea monster when they were fishing at sea, and you and your husband were the only ones on the boat. Why did you suddenly leave the previous ones today?" Has the whole story been overturned?”
Grandma Cai didn't panic at all when she heard this. She glanced at Su, then lowered her head and smiled bitterly: "I am the only one left in the team of thirty-one people, and I can't tell whether the other thirty people are alive or dead at all." Even if I die, I don’t even remember how I returned to the original sea area... The only thing I know now is how to enter that underwater corridor, so... I have been waiting."
"Wait?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Yes, wait, wait until a new jump occurs and the entrance opens again." At this point, Granny Cai turned around and entered the bedroom.
Everyone didn't know what she was going to do, so they just started talking in low voices.
Su Che was more concerned about what Granny Cai would do next, and he asked Su Lan: "If we really want to do what Granny Cai said, there is a corridor at the bottom of the sea, and it is also guarded by monsters, then... what should we do? Don’t continue with the rescue plan?”
Su Lan was also a little unsure, this was beyond her cognitive scope.
It would be easy to say that the research ship sank to the bottom of the deep pit, but now according to Granny Cai... the place that the deep pit leads to may be much more dangerous than imagined.
"I can only pause first...and then ask my uncle."
Su Che also sighed softly after hearing this: "Okay."
Wang Gangdan and Isara were also talking quietly. Wang Gangdan's concerns were similar to Su Che's. Now she was also worried about whether the Su family would continue the rescue plan.
After all, things developed beyond expectations.
Issara could only comfort Wang Gangdan as much as possible, and said: "I have indeed heard of the 'Gate of Origin' before, but those things are all speculated by archaeologists and may not be true. Moreover, This Granny Cai looks weird, and to be honest, I don’t really believe what she says.”
Wang Gangdan clenched his fists and was so nervous that he was speechless.
At this time, Granny Cai came out of the bedroom, carrying a silver box with the cross-star emblem of the National Security Department already mottled on it.
When they saw the box, Su Che and others were speechless.
Su Ran didn't care anymore. She walked in front of Granny Cai, looked at the box and said, "What's here?"
Granny Cai said: "What is placed here is a set of jump equalizers, used to break through the irregular jump film at the bottom of the submarine corridor. Without it, no rescue ship would be able to enter the final sea area."
"Jump equalizer?!" Su Ran is the only one present who probably understands this thing.
She was surprised and said: "Isn't this technology lost after the blackout era?"
But after saying that, Su Ran felt that she had asked a very stupid question.
Grandma Cai also wondered why this girl, who looked very smart, would ask such a question.
She opened the box and said, "Because this was made before the blackout era. Do you really think that those so-called 'lost' technologies don't exist?"
Su Ran was a little embarrassed, and it was rare for Su Che to see Su Ran act silly, so he couldn't help but quietly took out his cell phone and took a picture of Su Ran's appearance.
Su Ran didn't notice Su Che's small movements. All her attention was now focused on the box in front of her.
The box was opened, but everyone was dumbfounded.
Because the equipment in the box is broken... to be more precise... it has been soaked in sea water and is stained with rust.
Seeing this scene, Su Ran asked: "Is this thing broken??"
Grandma Cai glanced at Su Ran and said: "The thing is broken. It shouldn't be difficult to reproduce it with the current graphics outline and 4D simulation construction technology, but... if you want to take it away, you must promise me a
It’s just the conditions.”
As she spoke, Granny Cai closed the box and placed her hand on the box.
Su Che and others were a little speechless when they heard this, especially Su Che, who had some evil thoughts in his heart.
'You old man really likes to scare people... You really want to take this box away, and you can't stop anyone who comes...'
"Tell me." Su Lan didn't have much idea, so she asked directly.
Granny Cai said: "When you set out to rescue people, you must take me with you."
Su Lan was stunned: "You? You are over eighty years old! Can you bear it?"
Granny Cai said: "It doesn't matter if I am over eighty years old...it doesn't matter if I am over one hundred years old...For me, a survivor, living alone in the world is suffering every minute...So, instead of letting me live here,
It would be better for me to die alone and die on the way to find them. Girl...you can understand this feeling, right?"
Grandma Cai's request is indeed not too much.
Su Lan glanced at Su Ran, who nodded silently.
"Hmm... Okay, but it will take some time to copy the machine. How about you wait here and call you when we set off?"
Granny Cai said: "No need, it only takes more than an hour to carve a machine. Why bother going back and forth? I'd better go with you."
Having said that, the last "white lie" was useless, and Su Lan had no choice but to start helping Granny Cai pack her things.
…
When leaving Granny Cai's residence, the residents on the island seemed to know that Granny Cai would be leaving today, and they all gathered at the coast, as if to say goodbye to Granny Cai.
A young man even chased after him and said, "Mother-in-law! I'll go with you!"
Granny Cai didn't say anything. Su Lan asked curiously: "Grandma, who is he?"
"He is the child of my adopted son. He is just eighteen this year. Don't pay attention to him." After saying this, Grandma Cai turned around and went to the cabin.
Su Lan sighed softly when she saw this, and then said to Xiao Jia: "Let's go."
Xiao Jia started the engine and the yacht started slowly.
But the young man on the shore was still chasing. He did not give up and shouted as he ran: "Mother-in-law! Don't leave me! I'll go with you!"
Looking at this scene, Su Che couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes, some separations are really abrupt and sad."
Su Ran, who was beside him, replied coldly: "You'd better stop being so poetic now, we still have a lot of things to do."
Su Che was stunned and asked, "There are still many things? Isn't it just a matter of replicating the machine and then sending the machine and Granny Cai to the rescue ship?"
Su Ran said nothing, but judging from her expression, it seemed that it was not that simple.
Su Che looked at Su Lan again.
Su Lan said: "I just received a call from my uncle. He is worried about leaving this matter to the rescue team, so... some of us may have to follow."
Hearing this, Su Che was not only not happy at all, but also a little dumbfounded.
If he hadn't arrived in Hainan before, he would have thought it was interesting to take risks on his own, but after listening to Su Lan's lesson, Su Che had sobered up.
Now he had to look into the tiger's den again... but Su Che started to back off.
It's not that he's afraid, it's that he doesn't want to see anyone suffer misfortune because of this...
"Then...big...no...Mr. Su Jin'an, did you specify who it is?"
"have."
"who?"
"You and Sister Su Ran."
"Su Ran and I?? But I'm just a reporter!?"
Su Lan was also a little confused. She had already confirmed with her uncle several times just now, but Su Jinan was determined to let Su Ran and Su Che go.
That tone was even a little unreasonable.
Su Lan did not dare to confront Su Jin'an, so she had to turn to Su Che's mother for help. What she didn't expect was that her biological mother actually said she would completely obey Su Jin'an's arrangements.
"You think I want to, I have already helped you fight for it, but the situation is like this... But if you want to escape, I can ask my friends to take you and Wang Gangdan away, but in the future... you may not
There's no way I can go home again." Su Lan's words were not scaremongering.
Currently, the two major family-owned enterprise groups recognized in the country are the Su Family's Su Enterprises and the Wang Family's Huasheng Fengmao.
If Su Che openly confronts Su Jin'an, becomes a deserter, and smeares the Su family, then Su Che will no longer have a foothold in the country.
Su Che knew this very well... and also knew that sometimes some things were just so unreasonable.
Li Ainian's "expulsion" from the domestic literary world is the best example.
After sorting out his mood, Su Che said: "No need, I don't want to escape from anything, I just feel it's sudden...even a little reluctant...I treat Su...forget it...I know, I will protect Su
Sister Ran’s.”
"Not just her, but also Isara and Wang Gangdan. A grown man like you has to take the initiative to stand up at critical moments!"
"What? They want to go down too."
"Nonsense... you're already going down. Wang Gangdan is worried about whether his father will go with him or not. Isara is your bodyguard, will he go with him?"
Su Che slapped his forehead: "Why did you forget this..."
"Okay, don't act like you're going to the execution ground. I've understood everything and made arrangements. The people in the rescue team will take care of you as much as possible. As long as you are careful, you won't
Something will happen." Su Lan's tone did not sound like that of a younger sister.
Su Che couldn't help but feel ashamed. In these years, Su Lan was the only one who was sincerely good to him and never said anything bad about him because of his personality.
"Okay, I will remember it."
"Well..." Su Lan sighed softly, suddenly opened her hand and said, "Here, I'll give you a hug. I must come back well."
Su Che was startled, then laughed and hugged his sister: "Okay, your brother is very lucky! He will definitely come back victorious!"
Su Lan rolled her eyes at Su Che and said, "Don't raise the flag! My eyelids are twitching!"
