Qiu Feng questioned, "Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
After asking the question, Qiu Feng was somewhat surprised. He, Song Xian, and Commander Xia were all quite capable people. If Lu Qing had come outside the door to eavesdrop, they would definitely have noticed.
Lu Qing shook her head: "I only overheard it from a distance, and then I moved further away. I did not eavesdrop on your conversation afterwards."
Qiu Feng pressed further, "How far is this 'far away'?"
Lu Qing pointed to the walkway about ten meters away diagonally opposite. Qiu Feng glanced at it, then turned back to Lu Qing: "When did you acquire this ability?"
Lu Qing replied without dodging the question, "It only started during the time I was locked up in the sentry post detention center."
During that time, Lu Qing listened to those noisy sounds and thought she was about to die and was starting to hallucinate.
Qiu Feng thought for a moment and said, "If you can join the defense team, I will take you out to sea. This time, you must be physically stronger than the average person, otherwise you will only be a burden to others."
After Lu Qing left, Song Xian sighed, "I can't stop you now."
Qiu Feng smiled wryly: "I, as the eldest brother, can't always hide in the back. Da Zhuang is also out of contact now. I can't continue to be so inactive. I will hand over the affairs of the base to Qiu Shisan and Zhou Heng. They are reliable. You can discuss and handle things yourselves. I will ask them to prioritize your opinions."
Knowing that Qiu Feng had made up his mind, Song Xian didn't say anything more about it. Instead, he asked, "Do you think the military really doesn't know where our base commander is? And are Da Zhuang and that elite team really missing? I still have some doubts."
Before Li Jia left, she told them that she might be out of contact for a while, and that they shouldn't worry, as she would come back sooner or later.
Song Xian and Qiu Feng both knew Li Jia's abilities, so they weren't too worried, but they still hoped she could come back soon.
Qiu Feng: "I'm pretty good at judging people. Commander Xia probably wasn't lying. This earthquake disaster is extremely serious. I just hope that Dazhuang and the others are only temporarily out of contact."
They had already heard about Li Jia jumping into the flood and leaving alone, so they were less worried about him, since the base commander wasn't the type to court death.
But Niu Dazhuang and his group were real; nearly three hundred people went missing, and they were all elites. Natural disasters are merciless; how could people not be worried?
Song Xian felt equally distressed thinking about these things. Their base had actually been developing steadily, but the only worrying thing was that key figures were going missing one by one.
Although replacements have been found for their positions in various aspects, this kind of thing is still unsettling.
"I hope your trip goes smoothly, that you find Dazhuang, and that you can also get in touch with the base chief. Brother Qiu, please be sure to do what you can. Our base can't afford to lose any more people, and the base chief certainly doesn't want to see that happen," Song Xian said in a heavy tone.
Li Ke was trapped underwater, not far from the surface, at a depth of about fifty meters. The densely packed objects on the hull were hurting her eyes.
Li Ke went into the space to wash his eyes for a while and rested for three hours. When he came out again, the ship was still locked up, and the fish monsters were still stuck to the ship and had not left. They were mixed together with the strange plants and continued to hurt Li Ke's eyes.
The better thing is that they've quieted down a bit, but with Li Ke's appearance, those closed eyes opened again—what a wary bunch!
Li Ke realized it was impossible for them to scatter on their own, so he reached out and touched the hull of the boat, deciding to take them into his own space to tidy them up.
Hundreds of miles underwater, Niu Dazhuang, along with other captured men, was being thrown into an underground structure that had been damaged by the tsunami and earthquake, where they were retrieving supplies that might be buried underwater.
The people above didn't care whether they lived or died. They simply used a small submarine to take them underwater to the surface and then threw them out to work.
There was no way to escape. Once they left the area around the giant ship, they were surrounded by man-eating fish monsters, and there were also overseers with harpoons and water guns guarding them. In short, if they wanted to live, they had to behave themselves.
Fortunately, some spaces in the underground structure remained intact and were not filled with seawater, allowing the prisoners to rest and catch their breath occasionally.
