"Why?"
"No reason." Hesta closed her eyes, "I just don't want to look back."
…
Another person entered Si Lei's inquiry room, but this time neither of them stayed in the room for too long. After only about three minutes, they came out of the room together.
Si Lei looked at Hesta and Rico standing in the aisle, "Why don't you go down?"
"When you're tired, just rest for a while," Rico replied, "Why are you so fast?"
"Go down," Si Lei said, closing the door. "Qianye will come right away and says there is something important to announce."
Seeing Si Lei walking down the stairs, everyone in the restaurant stood up in unison - the stern-faced police officer suddenly stopped questioning, either because he had discovered some key clues, or there was important news to be announced.
"No need to stand up," Si Lei walked to the middle of the crowd, "I came down because the captain is coming soon - I guess we can talk about the return trip. I believe there will be no objection tonight, right?"
Robbeglier's eyes widened, "Have you contacted Otto?"
"Who is Otto?"
"You just said 'The Captain' was coming -"
"Anyway, he is with mercury needle now, and I just had a phone call with that mercury needle." Si Lei replied coldly.
She sat down opposite Robbeglier. The two of them were separated by a long table, and their eyes never met.
Si Lei turned to the crowd, "What do you think?"
"It's better to return, it's too dangerous to continue sailing..."
Even as he answered Si Lei's question, the speaker's eyes could not help but turn to Roboglier, his hope mixed with pleading.
"We can definitely change flights..."
The rest of the people nodded in agreement.
Roboglier raised his jaw slightly again. He coughed a few times and said calmly, "Since this is what everyone means, I have no objection. After all, everyone's life safety must be the first priority. Other things You can make plans later, let’s return home tonight—”
"The Shengming will not return."
A voice suddenly interrupted Roboglier's words. Everyone quickly turned around and saw a tall woman walking quickly towards here. Her expression was indifferent, as if a hunter had stepped into her jungle.
Behind her, a man wearing the captain's armband followed closely.
"Otto!" Roboclier immediately jumped down from his chair and walked up to the man with the armband in a few steps. "What's going on? I've been looking for you tonight. Where have you been?" "
The man wearing the armband hesitated to speak, and finally looked at Chiba, his eyes inquiring, clearly asking, "Can I answer this question?"
Chiba ignored the inquiry. After looking around the crowd, she said loudly: "Everyone, please sit down first."
The crowd sat in response.
"Three things," Chiba raised three fingers, "First of all, starting tonight, the Shengming will be directly taken over by ahgas. The destination of this voyage, the voyage time, including the rationing of supplies on the ship... all big and small things, such as If necessary, we will make adjustments according to the situation.”
"What--"
"Second, we have clearly discovered traces of chelate activity on the ship, and there are at least two of them. Although there is no official fight yet, these two chelates are basically in the 'infancy stage.'" Chiba Pausing for a moment, "This means that their natural lifespan is at least one month."
If everyone was just surprised when the first news was announced, then when Chiba announced the second news, the entire Bishop restaurant was almost boiling in an instant - the faces of the passengers who had been living in a livable place There was still a look of confusion on his face. This kind of terrifying monster that only appeared in newspapers was like a legendary creature. They usually only appeared in some articles accusing the government of wantonly harming citizens' rights.
But for most people who have experienced wilderness survival, this news is like a bolt from the blue.
"Why haven't you returned since there are chelates!?"
"It's very simple," Chiba looked at the questioner, "We need to annihilate the chelates directly here."
"I understand... I understand..." Another person in the crowd suddenly shouted, "The turmoil in the Havre port is caused by chelate, right? You mercury needles... have long known that there are people on board Chelates, right?”
Many people are awakening from a dream. Who else can be the perpetrator who can cause such destructive power in a short period of time, besides chelates?
Some of the thorn monks took a breath: "Then tonight Dietrich..."
"Return!"
"Return!"
"We must return!"
The angry crowd rushed towards Chiba, who stood there and raised his hand, "Third!"
The person at the front had already arrived in front of Qianye. He tried to pinch Qianye's neck, but before he could see clearly what happened, the world turned around - Qianye's legs crossed his shoulders and went straight. Kicked him in the side of the neck.
After losing his balance, he fell heavily to the ground, and Chiba's black leather boot was squeezing his throat.
Hesta shrunk her neck unconsciously,
The rest of the people stopped abruptly, veins popped out on their foreheads, but they still gritted their teeth and resisted the urge.
"Third," Qianye retracted his foot and took a step to the side, "We have notified all nearby ports of the news of chelates on the Shengming this evening, and announced the alert at ahgas - that is, our people Before it was lifted, if we forcibly docked, according to the Chelatosis Prevention and Control Act, each region could directly sink the ship.
"Similarly, anyone who attempts to escape from the ship by any means will be directly regarded as a 'crime against humanity' and will not be killed."
The passengers who were sitting in their seats and listening covered their mouths in disbelief.
"What else?" Si Lei stood up.
"what else?"
"How do you plan to protect ordinary passengers on the ship?"
"Well, ordinary passengers..." Chiba smiled, "From today on, please observe your own status. If anyone has a continuous low mood, you can apply to the medical service center for a chelation disease test. We have a way to delay the onset of the disease. Medication is enough to keep you in a normal state of mind until you receive effective treatment."
"...The medical center has a Chelation Disease Handbook," the captain, who had been silent until now, added at the right moment, "We will distribute it to every passenger in a moment."
Si Lei's expression darkened.
Chiba didn't seem to notice this change at all. She looked away: "Who else has questions?"
"Excuse me..." Someone raised his hand, "What if we encounter chelates head-on-"
"Interesting question," Chiba smiled. "The suggestion is not to think about this aspect for the time being. As far as our current observations are concerned, they have not yet entered the stage of indiscriminate killing. As for when we need to worry about this issue... the time has come. , I will naturally tell everyone."
