#527 - Chapter 526 Video Conference
Knock knock knock...
A knock came at the door.
"Officer Fang, Group Leader Zhang invites you to a video conference."
Immersed in joy, Li Chenqiu heard the voice, waved his hand, and put the finishing touch into his space ring, shouting to the outside of the door: "Got it."
After speaking, he got up and walked out of the cabin, and under the guidance of the combatant, came to the council room of the ship.
The council room was small, with a desk in the center, facing a large screen of over a hundred inches.
Li Chenqiu pulled out a chair, sat down at the desk, and asked the combatant who brought him here, "Did Group Leader Zhang say what it was about?"
The combatant shook his head with a smile: "I don't know about that."
"Okay."
Li Chenqiu waved his hand.
"I'll be at the door, just call me if you need anything."
"Got it."
The combatant left the council room.
Li Chenqiu placed his hands together on the desk, and muttered in a low voice, "What could it be?"
After waiting for a few minutes, the hundred-inch screen made a "buzzing" sound, and then lit up, illuminating every corner of the council room.
Two faces appeared on the left and right sides of the screen, separated by a black line, it was Zhang Heping and Hu Quan.
"Officer Fang."
"Officer Fang."
The two said in unison.
"Okay."
Li Chenqiu nodded indifferently in a way that fit his persona, and asked straight to the point: "Did Group Leader Zhang call this video conference because you found Wang's trail?"
"We haven't found anything yet, the reason for calling this meeting is because the pilot of the sixth team woke up." Zhang Heping replied truthfully.
"He woke up?"
Li Chenqiu's heart jumped, he raised his arm and put it on the table, and eagerly asked: "Did you get any useful information out of him?"
Hu Quan smiled slightly: "Officer Fang, don't worry, we just got the news and haven't had time to ask."
Li Chenqiu slowly leaned back in his chair: "Is that so... then wait until we go back tonight..."
Buzz——
Before he could finish speaking, the screen in front of him suddenly flickered, and another face appeared inside, squeezing Zhang Heping and Hu Quan to the corners.
It was a face wrapped in bandages, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
Li Chenqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized who this person was at a glance.
This person was none other than the only survivor of the sixth team - the young pilot.
Zhang Heping said with a smile: "Officer Fang, no need to wait until tonight, we can ask now."
Li Chenqiu said heavily: "That's really... great."
After the young man greeted the three in a weak voice, he began to tell what happened yesterday at Hu Quan's request.
"Around four or five o'clock, there was a sudden loud noise outside the cockpit. Not long after, Captain Xu suddenly shouted 'Get out!', which scared me a lot while I was driving the boat."
The young man touched his chest and continued, "A few minutes later, Captain Xu came to the cockpit and said that he had received an order to slow down and return to the dock as late as possible. I was very confused at the time..."
"Wait a minute."
Hu Quan called out to stop, frowning and asked: "In your opinion, is there anything wrong with this Xu Ming?"
"Something wrong..." The young man pondered for a while, and slowly said: "It feels much more domineering than usual."
"What about the appearance?"
The young man replied: "Appearance... just like Captain Xu's appearance."
Hearing this, Hu Quan's face sank, and he turned to look at Zhang Heping: "Group Leader, what do you think?"
Zhang Heping crossed his fingers and supported his chin: "If there are no accidents, the noise from the ship earlier should be the movement caused by Wang and Xu Ming fighting.
The real Xu Ming... may have had an accident at that time. The Xu Ming who appeared in the cockpit later was either controlled by Wang, or Wang was impersonating him. There are only these two possibilities."
"That's what I think too." Li Chenqiu rubbed his presence.
Hu Quan said: "Continue."
"Uh... okay."
The young man who was in a daze came back to his senses and hurriedly responded, with a look of fear in his dim eyes.
Only now did he know that the person who hijacked the ship was the special dangerous disaster 009 Wang!
Swallowing, the young man suppressed the fear in his heart and continued to tell:
"Later, after all the other nine ships returned, Wang forced me to turn the ship around. In order to survive, I had to obey his orders and sail in the direction he pointed."
Zhang Heping raised a question: "The direction he pointed?"
"Yes, he pointed with his finger, without looking at the sea chart."
"Continue."
"Then he left the cockpit, killed everyone except me, and then used his ability... or maybe it was a Mystic Artifact, to protect the entire ship, then returned to the cockpit and continued to point the way.
After arriving at a certain sand area, he asked me to stop the ship, then tied me up with vines, and then left the cockpit. A few minutes later, a very good-looking woman appeared..."
"Cough cough cough!"
When the young man said this, Zhang Heping coughed a few times, interrupting him.
"Okay, you don't need to say the rest, do you have anything else to add?"
"Yes, that woman also slapped me. Group Leader Zhang, who is this woman..."
Buzz——
The screen shook for a while, and the young man was kicked out of the video conference by Zhang Heping, who was very quick.
Hu Quan's eyebrows curved: "Officer Fang, this guy was a little delirious at the time, don't take it to heart."
So the woman this guy was talking about was Fang Wan... Li Chenqiu, who understood everything, said with a cold expression: "I won't take the words of the weak to heart."
"Officer Fang is really broad-minded!"
After this little episode ended, the meeting got down to business.
"Hu Quan, your brain has always been faster than mine, have you found anything?" Zhang Heping looked forward to it.
Hearing this, Li Chenqiu's heart instantly rose. He was still very afraid of Hu Quan. This guy was too good at making things up.
He secretly said in his heart: "We are about to arrive at the sand area that Zhang Heping said, don't cause any trouble for me at this juncture!"
Under the gaze of the two, Hu Quan raised his head and began his performance.
"Wang hijacked the ship and used his ability to resist the sandstorm, which confirms our previous guess that he does not have the ability to travel the sand sea alone.
He doesn't look at the sea chart, and uses his finger to specify the direction the ship is going, which means that he should have some kind of connection with that sand area. Combining the two, everything becomes much clearer."
Zhang Heping asked: "What does this mean?"
"These two points don't explain anything, but combined with other things, the amount of information is a bit large!"
