From seeing it

It would be a lie to say that he has no interest in this person in his heart, but he can clearly distinguish the priorities of the matter. For him, the most important thing now is not to find out who this person is, but to be targeted by big pale hands. He may die at any time, this is the problem he urgently needs to solve.

Zhou Kesheng seemed to see through his thoughts, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "Don't hesitate, in fact, these two things are essentially the same thing."

"Oh?" Xiao Ling glanced at him.

"That person who looks the same as you, all the truth he told you may be related to the big pale hand. As long as we figure out the nature of this big pale hand and understand its weakness, we can find a way to deal with it. "

"And this big hand, which existed at least in the time of Emperor Shun, may also be an opportunity for us to explore the truth behind this world. Your and my goals should be the same."

Xiao Ling pursed his lips and didn't speak, just thinking about things silently.

After a while, he sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Old Zhou, you are indeed an excellent lobbyist, and I was persuaded by you again."

Although he knew clearly that what Zhou Kesheng said could not be trusted, he was still unknowingly moved by what he said. He had no choice but to be convinced by Zhou Kesheng's eloquence.

Zhou Kesheng smiled, and said, "Go to Guixu, find this person, and find out the truth about everything including the pale hand. Maybe...you can solve your current crisis. In fact, you have no choice."

Xiao Ling spread his hands and said, "Yes, actually I have no choice."

Now he is being watched by the mysterious big pale hand, and there are only two choices in front of him, one is to do nothing and wait here for various accidents to happen. In a seemingly accidental accident.

Or just listen to Zhou Kesheng's suggestion, join the scientific expedition team this time, go to Guixu, find the person who looks exactly like him, see the truth of everything he said, and fight for a chance of life.

Zhou Kesheng was right, he had no other choice.

"Don't worry too much. There shouldn't be too much danger in finding the ruins this time. The superiors attach great importance to this scientific expedition and have given them great support." Seeing Xiao Ling's worried face, Zhou Kesheng comforted him.

Xiao Ling looked helpless: "It seems that I will have to skip class for a while."

Early the next morning, Xiao Ling went to the school counselor and said that he was not feeling well these few days, so he had to take a leave of absence and return to the hospital for follow-up observation.

The counselor, who knew something about his car accident, approved his leave with a touch of sympathy.

Knowing that Xiao Ling was going to ask for leave to go home again, Zhang Xiu, Wang Pengcheng, and Ma Wei in the same dormitory were all a little reluctant to part with each other. They got along for more than a year, and the four of them had a good relationship.

"Oh, Xiao Ling is really pitiful. I guess he saw the bloody scene of the sudden car accident yesterday. He couldn't stand the excitement. How pitiful."

Thinking to themselves, Zhang Xiu and the others could only silently wish Xiao Ling a full recovery as soon as possible.

Xiao Ling ignored what the three of them were thinking, packed some change of clothes by himself, dragged the suitcase and left.

After meeting with Zhou Kesheng, the two took the high-speed train and headed straight to Ningshan City.

Ningshan Port in Ningshan City has a deep and wide waterway, abundant water, and calm seas all year round, which is suitable for berthing large ships. Zhou Kesheng planned to go to sea at Ningshan Port for this trip back to the ruins.

It is not far from the provincial capital to Ningshan City, and the direct high-speed rail only takes three hours.

In the afternoon, the two of them were already in Ningshan City. Zhou Kesheng took Xiao Ling to a high-end hotel and lived in the top luxury suite.

This hotel is very close to Ningshan Port. Standing in front of the window of the hotel, you can already overlook the busy Ningshan Port and see the huge ships on the sea in the distance.

On the second day, people came to join them one after another.

This time, with the support of the forces behind Zhou Kesheng, the scientific expedition team was reorganized. Li Zhibao, Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei, Yu Tingting, Pang Yan and other previous companions were indispensable. In addition to the five of them, there were two more strangers.

One is Wang Haiyang, about fifty years old, wearing a suit, and looks polite. After Zhou Kesheng introduced him, Xiao Ling knew that he was a well-known oceanographer in China and the deputy secretary of the international organization "Blue Ocean Organization". long.

The other is Guo Zhenwei, who is about forty years old and looks fat and white. He is a marine biologist who mainly studies marine life.

Xiao Ling understood that the joining of these two people was obviously related to this trip to the depths of the ocean.

What surprised Xiao Ling was that he didn't see Sun Tao who was always with Professor Li Zhibao and was inseparable.

In the evening, a group of nine people left the hotel where they were staying and headed for Ningshan Port.

Under the night, a three-story ship was quietly leaning against the port. This ship was not small and could accommodate at least a hundred people.

Xiao Ling followed Zhou Kesheng and saw someone guarding the ship. Zhou Kesheng stepped forward, chatted with the person in a low voice, and then took out something similar to a certificate and handed it to the person. After that, the nine of them were let go.

This was Xiao Ling's first time riding on a sea cruiser, so he was inevitably a little excited and curious, looking around. Of course, he was more concerned about whether the big pale hand appeared again.

The nine people boarded the ship, and on the deck, a tall and burly man greeted them.

Behind the big man, there were two strangers he didn't know.

Xiao Ling saw that this burly man was none other than Sun Tao.

"It turns out that he has already boarded the ship first." Xiao Ling thought to himself, seeing Sun Tao, Zhou Kesheng and Professor Li Zhibao say hello.

Zhou Kesheng said: "Is everything ready?"

Sun Tao nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. All the personnel are in place according to the requirements of the superior. This is Captain Cao Zhiren, and this is First Officer Jiang Hongtao."

After that, he introduced the two strange men beside him to Zhou Kesheng.

Among these two strange men, the older one, who is in his forties, is Cao Zhiren, the captain of the three-decked ship "Explorer", and the other is Jiang Hongtao, the first mate of "Explorer".

Zhou Kesheng shook hands with them one by one, and said with a smile, "I'll leave this time to everyone."

This Captain Cao Zhiren was very respectful to Zhou Kesheng, holding Zhou Kesheng tightly with both hands, bowed slightly, and even praised Zhou Kesheng as he should, and told Zhou Kesheng to order anything.

Xiao Ling thought to himself that Cao Zhiren was also the captain of the "Explorer", so why was he so respectful to Zhou Kesheng? It seems that Zhou Kesheng's identity is bigger than he imagined. He can lead such a group of top domestic experts with a lot of tricks, and it is not easy for the forces behind him to transfer such a round of seagoing ships for their use.

On board, Xiao Ling followed Zhou Kesheng, and a group of people quickly entered a spacious captain's cabin.
