After Thor yelled like this, his father took a few steps back.
But when Sol walked outside, he followed him.
"So you are saying that my son ran into the woods?"
"Then will his life be in danger?"
Thor stopped again and turned to glare at his father.
The father, who understood that his move was a bit abrupt, immediately felt at a loss.
"There's no need to delay. Just do what you're doing and just give me a rough idea."
Father's attitude seemed extremely humble, and even his tone was much weaker than before.
Thor snorted and ignored his meaning.
Xie Chen, who was in the gap, saw this scene clearly.
I just feel a little sad.
After hesitating in his heart, he decided to speak out.
"No need to look for it, I'm hiding here, not in the woods."
Xie Chen raised the bar table slightly with both hands, then kicked off his feet, exposing his body.
Father, Wood, and Saul looked here together.
Xiechen himself also walked out of the gap.
Before they could ask questions, Xie Chen took the lead in extending his hand to signal.
"I know you have a lot of questions on your mind."
"But hold it back for now."
Xie Chen pointed at Sol.
"The reason why I'm hiding here is because I want to see what you will do when you come back."
Thor pointed at himself, looking confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Am I going to do something harmful again?"
Xie Chen smiled slightly.
"This is just a suspicion that normal people should have. You don't need to be so panicked."
Thor gritted his teeth and spoke with trembling cheeks.
"I said, these..."
Xie Chen interrupted Saul.
"If you were a tourist, if something happened that might threaten your life and safety, wouldn't you feel like you were in a hurry?"
"Probably not?"
"Either you can keep people in the dark from beginning to end and don't even know the slightest details. This way it's easier to control."
“But since we, as tourists, have been given some inside information, it’s best to tell them all.”
"Causing panic and causing panic are two different things. If we are still trying to deal with tourists blindly, it will lead to an irreversible situation."
Seeing that Sol swallowed back all the words that came to his mouth, Xie Chen also felt that what he said should be useful, so he struck while the iron was hot and continued to polish it.
"Paper cannot contain fire."
"What's more, it's such a big thing. How easy is it to hide it from so many people?"
Sol pulled out a chair from the counter next to him, then sat on it and pondered for a while, then shook his head.
"This matter is far more complicated than you think, and as I said, even I don't know much."
Xie Chen and others originally thought they had hope of knowing the details of the matter.
But when he heard what Sol said, he couldn't help but have a regretful expression on his face.
"but."
"It's okay to tell a few of you, but for the rest of you who don't know, I hope you all hide it for me."
"The more people know about this kind of thing, the harder it is to control it."
Thor stared at the three of them closely.
Seeing this look that was not at all pleading for discussion, Xie Chen nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Thor took a deep breath, then stood up, his thoughts seemed to follow his eyes.
"It starts from the day I came to work on this beach."
"At first, I didn't really believe it when I looked at the recruitment information about the generous remuneration. I just wanted to give it a try."
"There were many others who applied for the job like me, but they were eliminated during the recruitment trial. I remember clearly at the time that the courage test, diving assessment, physical fitness test, and even the reserve knowledge of firearms and ammunition were all required. You can It’s a lot.”
"If I hadn't been carrying the status of a veteran, I probably wouldn't have been able to pass."
Xie Chen nodded and said in agreement: "Given the current situation on the beach, these assessment contents are normal."
Thor nodded.
"But it's still not enough."
"The last lifeguard was fired because I reached the required age. Even if I passed the assessment and joined the job, he still needed to help me adapt in the first two months of joining the job."
"Every night there are strange noises outside, and sometimes those half-human, half-fish monsters stand in front of the window and look at you."
"You also have to make sure the house has enough light."
"It's really not something ordinary people can endure under this high level of oppression."
Wood scratched his head.
"Is there really a monster?"
"Then you are still working as a lifeguard here? I quit a long time ago."
Thor waved his hand.
"As time went by, I got used to it."
"The most important thing is good salary and benefits, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stay here."
Xie Chen focused on the half-human, half-fish words in Sol's mouth.
"Are those monsters really related to the sea?"
Faced with his own inquiry, Sol did not hide it this time, but nodded very generously.
"The source comes from the sea."
"But the fishing village is also their base. It can be said that not only the seabed, but also the land is gradually being eroded by them."
"During my tenure, these monster cities have tried to completely invade this beach more than once, but they failed every time."
Xie Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and told Saul what he had in mind.
"The area of the lighthouse should also be part of the beach management area, right?"
Sol stared at Xie Chen closely, but still nodded.
"I didn't expect you to know all this. It is indeed part of the scope of management, but I haven't had much interaction with the people inside until now."
"That means the last lifeguard had more interactions with each other."
"Before he resigned, he also told me that if the activities of those monsters become more frequent, I should take the initiative to use the walkie-talkie to report it to the people at the lighthouse."
Xie Chen continued to ask with some doubts.
"So you haven't seen anyone at the lighthouse?"
"Isn't there a possibility that the lighthouse has already been captured by those monsters?"
When Jing Xiechen said this, Sol couldn't help but be startled.
I haven't taken the initiative to go to the lighthouse until now, maybe this possibility really exists.
Xie Chen's face was a little complicated.
Just from Sol's reaction, we can see that there is indeed such a possibility.
But Sol's expression was even more complicated and ugly.
If the lighthouse side has already fallen, how long can our side last?
today? Or tomorrow?
Thor rubbed his head helplessly. Rather than thinking about a solution, he was more annoyed about how to solve this problem.
Although it may not be 100%, even if there is only a slight possibility, it cannot be ignored.
Xie Chen glanced at Wood and his father who could not speak.
After thinking for a while, he still asked Sol.
"Don't you have a way to deal with those monsters?"
"If you say you rely solely on physical strength, then I definitely don't believe it."
"What are the weaknesses of those monsters? Or do you have any tools to deal with them?"
When asking these two questions, Xie Chen intentionally or unintentionally cast his eyes on the pocket bag hanging on Sol's waist.
Thor is naturally not stupid and knows the purpose of asking this question.
At this point, he didn't continue to hide it.
Saul reached out his hand, opened his pocket, and took out a foldable baton.
Xie Chen did not pay attention to the baton.
This thing alone can't solve those monsters at all, and it's hard to say it can even cause damage.
Sol's next actions also proved his idea.
He turned over his hand and took out a sealed bottle again. The bottle rose with a push-type nozzle.
"This is it."
Wood and his father immediately came over to take a look.
"Can this thing deal with the monster you call it?"
Wood looked puzzled and pointed at the jar in Saul's hand.
The expression that Xie Chen looked at his father was almost the same as that of Wood next to him.
Only when Wood asked for him, he didn't say anything.
Saul knew that no one believed it. Others held the can with one hand, straightened the nozzle on it with the other hand, and then faced Wood.
When Wood was faced with the jar like this, he immediately took several steps back.
Sol had no intention of stopping, but stood up and followed him.
Xie Chen immediately followed him to stop him, and his father also shouted loudly: "What are you going to do?"
But Sol had no intention of stopping, and instead pressed hard with his index finger.
A large stream of liquid was squeezed out of the can by the nozzle, and then it all sprayed towards Wood.
Wood flexed his whole body and blocked himself in front of him with his hands.
All the liquid sprayed from the can splashed on Wood's arm.
A strange feeling filled Wood's hands, causing him to roar anxiously, struggling and collapsing to the ground.
"Ahhh!"
The father immediately grabbed Wood who was lying on the ground and ran over to check where his arm was sprayed.
Xie Chen reached out and grabbed the jar from Sol's hand, and in just a moment, she pinned him to the ground with her backhand.
Sol struggled violently and felt his face turn red with embarrassment.
After all, he is also a veteran. Although he was unprepared, he was pushed to the ground by such a young man. It was really embarrassing.
"let me go!"
Thor roared.
Not only did Xie Chen ignore him, but the strength in his hand also increased a bit.
The father eagerly inspected the area where Wood's arm had been sprayed.
"How about it?"
"Is the situation serious?"
Under his father's concerned tone, Wood's violent struggle stopped.
Then the whole person was stunned and glanced at his hands again.
The atmosphere just became dull.
The father looked at Wood, and Wood looked into his father's eyes.
"It doesn't seem to be anything. Don't tell me, your hands feel quite cool."
"Cool?"
My father was a little puzzled when he heard Wood's words.
