Chapter 131 Haha! They're all liars.
Su Meng's obsession was to safely bring the ship to shore. She had already sacrificed Liu Sheng; she couldn't afford to sacrifice anyone else.
She seemed mesmerized, her eyes fixed straight ahead, as if she were being controlled, steering the ship with perfect precision.
They narrowly avoided direct attacks from submarines and enemy ships on several occasions.
It wasn't until Huo Zhenhua pressed her hand that she snapped out of her daze and stared blankly back at the past.
Like a bewildered child, confused and helpless.
Huo Zhenhua looked down at her.
Looking into her moist, soft, and innocent eyes, as clear and adorable as a baby's, my heartstrings trembled.
He couldn't help but put his arm around her shoulder, gently patting her back with his fingers, and whispered, "We won!"
Just then, Commander Tang and his entourage walked in.
He looked at the water in the cockpit that was ankle-deep.
He glanced at the stunned Su Meng and the relieved Wang Qinglin, who was leaning against the cabin wall, completely exhausted.
And there was Liu Sheng, lying in the blood.
He choked up as he said, "You've all worked so hard!"
A dozen minutes later, Huangyan Island fell completely silent.
Huo Zhenhua, reeking of gunpowder, once again entered the cabin, stood straight in front of Su Meng, and said in a hoarse but rising tone: "Huangyan Island is finally clear!"
Su Meng forced a smile, but couldn't manage to manage it.
She stared at the mud on Huo Zhenhua's feet and the burn marks on his trousers that looked like bullets had grazed him.
The scene before Liu Sheng's sacrifice flashed before my eyes.
My heart aches so much!
If it weren't for the submarine attack, with just two ships on the sea, they could have easily held out until Commander Tang arrived unscathed.
What's infuriating is that the enemy has two well-equipped ships, and a submarine that appears and disappears mysteriously in the sea to assist them.
They lost this battle because of their inferior weaponry.
Su Meng once again coveted advanced foreign weapons and equipment.
She knew that the country had no shortage of shipyards, but what it lacked most was advanced technology.
When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken!
She thought about all the wealth in the space.
She can invest in research.
She felt a great sense of relief after making the decision.
The tension in my mind slowly eased.
And the space itself seemed to agree with her decision, fluttering lightly in her mind like a feather.
Then, they heard that long, mysterious sigh again.
It wasn't the usual dullness, but rather a pleasant ending.
Curious, she released a sliver of her consciousness to probe the space, only to find that the space upgrade was complete.
Let's not even talk about how much larger the area is.
Her little log cabin has been upgraded again.
It should now be called a two-story villa.
The signboard at the entrance of the room remains unchanged, but the interior space has become much larger.
The study and kitchen, in particular, have almost doubled in size.
The kitchen, which used to be packed full, now has a large empty space.
She looked helplessly at the wheat field, sighed, and rubbed her forehead. It was harvest time again!
"Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng, didn't you want to go to Huangyan Island to take a look?"
Hearing Huo Zhenhua's voice, Su Meng suddenly snapped back to reality.
She grabbed his outstretched hand and pulled him up, standing up with a bright and energetic look in her eyes. "Can I go too?"
She met his probing gaze with composure.
After reading his heartfelt words, I learned that he was worried about her, thinking that she had witnessed Liu Sheng's death and would be traumatized.
The previous wariness and suspicion were gone.
Her fingers moved erratically in his palm as if playing a piano, causing him to curl his fingers and grip her small hand tightly. His eyes instantly darkened and became dangerous.
Su Meng tilted her head to meet his dark gaze, and boldly grabbed his arm, "Do you think we should report to Commander Tang if we're dating?"
Otherwise, seeing their strange looks would always give me the feeling that I've been caught red-handed.
During her months back in China, she witnessed the reserved and restrained emotions of the Chinese people.
Even newlyweds walk on the street keeping a few fists' distance between them, shyly glancing at each other, rarely exchanging loving glances.
Their openly holding hands seems... seems like an anomaly.
Huo Zhenhua stared into her eyes, listened to her thoughts, smiled knowingly, leaned closer and said, "If you want to report to Commander Tang, you must submit a written marriage application report."
"Xiaomeng, may I go and write a report?"
Su Meng stared at him in astonishment, meeting his wolf-like smile, and mocked herself for just thinking that their relationship was reserved and restrained.
Judging from his impatient and cunning demeanor, he clearly wants to achieve instant success and skip the process of getting to know each other.
Haha! They're all scammers.
She pulled her hand away and glared at him fiercely. "No! Too fast!"
They've been trying out being together for less than twelve hours, and they're already preparing to file for marriage. Isn't that faster than a rocket?
She can't accept the speed of light!
"Let's go! Let's go to the island and take a look. They must have a huge laboratory; I'd like to see it."
After saying that, she turned and left.
She dared not look at his dark face, for fear of meeting his gaze into the vortex in his eyes and being drawn in, inexplicably "signing an unequal treaty".
Huo Zhenhua sighed helplessly, glanced in the direction of Commander Tang, and after receiving his permission, quickly followed.
The scholars who were confined on Huangyan Island were transferred to another ship.
The stubborn enemy was completely annihilated.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.
There were also bullet casings everywhere, as well as damaged vegetation and landforms.
When Su Meng entered the laboratory on the island, only the final cleaning work remained.
She couldn't understand things that weren't related to her major.
After a quick glance, I prepared to leave.
When he saw the glass bottle containing the embryo specimen that had rolled down in the corner, he stumbled and kicked the door frame.
"Ouch!"
"careful!"
She and Huo Zhenhua spoke at the same time.
At the same time, bend down to check your toes.
But just then, I heard a metallic scraping sound.
It's crisp and smooth, without that harsh feeling of something stuck in your throat.
It sounds like a metal door that's frequently opened.
Su Meng looked up in surprise.
Before she could even stand up straight, Huo Zhenhua grabbed her and jumped her a meter away.
Su Meng: ? ? ?
Having just experienced a battle, it's possible that danger lurks behind the hidden door.
But Huo Zhenhua reacted strongly, dodging immediately, which was quite unusual.
"Why don't you get on?" Su Meng teased, staring at the slowly opening floor.
Huo Zhenhua ruffled her hair in an annoyed tone, "You heartless little fool, listen up!"
He pulled out his gun and walked step by step toward the entrance of the cave.
The surrounding soldiers also cautiously gathered around.
Wang Qinglin glanced at Su Meng, who was nervously craning her neck to look around, his eye twitched, and he stepped ahead of Huo Zhenhua, preparing to jump.
Su Meng suddenly spoke up, "Wait! There are people downstairs."
Wang Qinglin turned around in confusion, "Really?"
Huo Zhenhua had once gone with Su Meng to rescue Su Mianzhi. Upon learning that her hearing was indeed extraordinary, he grabbed Wang Qinglin and said, "Wait a minute!"
Su Meng held her breath and focused. "There are two people breathing down there. Here! Greet them first."
Whether they are friend or foe, let's get them confused first.
Wang Qinglin thought to himself that Commander Huo never used these things, so this was unnecessary.
However, Huo Zhenhua calmly accepted it and skillfully sprinkled the sleeping pills into it.
"Wait two minutes."
He glanced at his watch and then stopped.
Wang Qinglin looked up in confusion, glancing at him again and again.
Finally unable to hold back any longer, he asked, "Commander, didn't you say you disdain using underhanded methods? How come you... used them too?"
He forced himself to swallow the last two words, enduring Huo Zhenhua's piercing gaze.
