Although Liu Kai was too lazy to care about the two cowards abandoning him and running away.

But we still need to find the snowmobile.

"Secretary Qin, could you lend me your drones? Let's find out where those two went."

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."

The request was reasonable, and Qin Luofei readily agreed.

But just as she finished arranging the drones, she remembered something else.

He asked Liu Kai, "By the way, where is Mr. Song Yuming? Is he still underwater guarding the weapons?"

If Song Yuming knew this in the afterlife, he would surely thank Qin Luofei and her ancestors for eighteen generations: You finally remembered your father?

Liu Kai sighed softly upon hearing this.

“I was just about to talk to you about this. Let’s go to the command tent and discuss it in detail.”

Seeing Liu Kai's expression, Qin Luofei frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising within her.

Upon entering the command tent, Liu Kai didn't keep anyone in suspense.

He pulled the palm-sized metal box out of his pocket.

Before Liu Kai could speak...

When Qin Luofei saw the dolphin logo on the box, she suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't this Mr. Song's?"

"Have you met Secretary Qin?"

"I've seen it. Mr. Song has been carrying this thing with him all morning, and I even asked him what it is."

Liu Kai asked curiously, "What did he say?"

"He didn't go into details, only saying that it was a keepsake left to him by his deceased father."

"Hehe, souvenirs... to tell you the truth, it was these souvenirs that attracted the giant octopus."

"What?!"

Qin Luofei, who had been looking puzzled, sat up abruptly upon hearing this.

"Are you sure, Liu Kai? And how did Mr. Song's things end up with you? Where is he?!"

Liu Kai fully understood Qin Luofei's questioning attitude and wasn't angry.

He shrugged and said, "I'm not entirely sure, but you can call an expert to open the box and take a look. I suspect it can emit specific sound waves that attract marine life."

"As for Song Yuming... he's dead, killed by the giant octopus."

"Dead...dead? How could that be?"

Qin Luofei was momentarily stunned, somewhat incredulous.

He immediately calmed down.

They instructed someone to send the metal box to experts for analysis.

Next, Liu Kai recounted his underwater encounter in slightly edited form.

This includes Song Yuming's practice of concealing the most fatal "hidden injury" in the pipeline when entering the underwater base.

And Song Yuming left early but did not go ashore; instead, he hid in the dark water plants.

According to Liu Kai.

This Song Yuming is full of flaws and suspicious points.

Qin Luofei, while not directly involved, was still a military commander who needed to make accurate judgments.

She naturally wouldn't easily believe one side of the story.

Always remain skeptical.

And then she suddenly remembered Liu Kai's attitude.

From beginning to end, he was very resistant to Song Yuming going into the water with him.

Or rather, he resists others probing into the secrets of his deep-sea salvage.

A terrifying thought involuntarily entered Qin Luofei's mind:

It's unlikely that Song Yuming didn't leave beforehand.

Instead, she kept pestering him until Liu Kai killed her to silence her, right?

After all, there were only the two of them underwater, and no one knew exactly what had happened.

But how do you explain the explosion and the giant octopus?

Liu Kai quickly confessed everything he could, without reservation.

After saying that, he stopped talking, lay down on the chair, and crossed his legs.

Qin Luofei was left to struggle and think on her own.

The truth cannot be determined based on just a few words, and Qin Luofei is waiting for evidence while pondering.

Finally, after a long silence in the command tent...

A young staff member rushed in, clutching a folder.

"Secretary Qin, the salvage operation is complete!"

Qin Luofei's eyes lit up: "Oh? How's the machine? Is it damaged?"

"The internal structure has been scanned and is completely undamaged, just as it was when we found it."

"Very good!"

Qin Luofei let out a long breath, her eyes involuntarily glancing at the composed Liu Kai.

I looked away.

He then looked at the folder in the staff member's hand: "Is there anything else?"

"There are two more things; the experts' analysis has been released."

The staff member glanced at Liu Kai as they spoke, unsure whether they should say anything.

Seeing Qin Luofei nod in affirmation, he continued speaking.

"First of all, that metal box. Experts say it is indeed a device that emits sound waves to attract marine life, and it was developed under the leadership of Professor Song Yuming's team."

Upon hearing this, Qin Luofei's heart skipped a beat.

I've already started to believe most of Liu Kai's description.

The staff member took another piece of paper from the folder and handed it to Qin Luofei.

"This is the shock wave pattern of the explosion we detected. Experts, based on waveform analysis, believe it is highly likely that the explosion was caused by an ultra-high pressure gas storage device."

Qin Luofei's expression was serious. She waved her hand and said, "I understand. You can go out now..."

At this point, she completely believed Liu Kai's story.

As Song Yuming had previously stated, the underwater base does indeed have an "ultra-high pressure gas storage device".

It was developed primarily by other teams.

He didn't understand the specific technology, but he knew it was extremely dangerous.

When the advance team and the exploration robot went into the water this morning, they did indeed find this thing.

Experts have examined it.

Although it is filled with a large amount of high-pressure gas, there is no risk of explosion unless it is damaged by human intervention.

This information was not disclosed to Liu Kai.
