On the wide deck of the aircraft carrier, Ada smoked a cigarette while calmly looking at the dark sea in front of her.
"The sea breeze is so strong at three in the morning. Why do you come here to smoke?" A voice familiar to Ada sounded from behind him.
Ada, with a cigarette in his mouth, turned his head and looked towards the voice. He saw a man in a neat military uniform standing next to a huge key that was not much smaller than the tower of an aircraft carrier.
The middle-aged man with an unshaven beard had determination in his eyes.
Ada shook the cigarette box in her hand at the man. "West, do you want one?"
"No, I don't smoke." West walked to Ada's side and looked at the dark sea surging in front of him.
"Having a nightmare again?" Ada looked at her old friend who had joined the army with her.
West didn't seem to want to answer, but he finally nodded vigorously.
"I dreamed about the captain and his men. This time, it was Feuerbach who pushed me overboard."
Ada yawned and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands.
"So many years have passed, and the people on the boat have pushed you dozens of times in your dreams, but you still can't find who pushed you."
"If you ask me, since you are not dead, just forget it and live a good life here. Let me tell you, Gin Nicole from the medical room is interested in you. If you marry her, others will envy you to death."
West, however, seemed to have been touched in reverse aging, with suppressed anger in his eyes.
"No, I have to go back. I'm going to find the person who pushed me down and kill him with my own hands, no matter who he is!"
"Because of him, I will never see my mother again and I will never be able to go home again."
Ada half squatted down and took a puff of cigarette. He had heard these old sayings for more than ten years and his ears were callused.
After West had completely vented his anger, Ada slowly said, "Hey, man, I plan to retire. I've already applied."
"Back then, for a small matter, I ran away from home without looking back. I left for so many years and never went back once. I went back to see them and say sorry to them."
The anger in West's eyes slowly dissipated. He looked at his companion squatting on the deck. "I'll give you my share, so that you can return to the surface in half a year at the earliest."
Ada turned around in surprise and looked at the old soldier in front of her. "Really? You really want to give it to me? This means you will stay in this damn place for the rest of your life."
West shook his head. "The outside world belongs to you and the captain. I was born in this sea and I only belong here. No matter how good that place is, it is not my home."
Ada excitedly opened her arms and gave him a bear hug. "Good brother! The Playboy magazine under my pillow and the protein powder under my bed are all yours! Oh, and my retirement pay is also yours."
"I have no shortage of money."
Hearing this, Ada showed a hint of bitterness on his face. He knew what the other party wanted to do.
He loosened his hands and said earnestly, "Dude, 010 is a key project with a separate containment point. You can't get in."
"You must not let them find out that you are from another time, otherwise the research team will definitely slice you up for research."
"There is always a way..., there is always a way..." West muttered to himself.
Seeing how determined he was, Ada stopped trying to persuade him. He took out his cell phone and quickly opened the map app, which accurately displayed their current location.
He quickly zoomed in and out with two fingers on the screen and put the phone in his pocket.
"Let's go. Even if you can't sleep, you have to go back and take a nap. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to be on duty during the day. We'll be there in three days."
After Ada finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the aircraft carrier and the tower covered with radars.
He slowly turned around and looked at West with a shocked look on his face, who was holding a pistol.
"Why..." Ada asked weakly, covering her stomach with her hands.
"Why can you go home but I can't? Why!" West's face was full of vicious jealousy.
"Bang, bang, bang!" West fired all the bullets in the magazine, then grabbed Ada and threw her into the dark sea.
The last scene Ida saw was a sea otter pounding shells against an aircraft carrier.
“Why... ? I’m about to go home... Why at this time..." Charles collapsed on the ground with a very painful expression.
This time, Charles recovered with great difficulty. He stayed on the seabed for ten minutes before he regained consciousness.
But thinking back to the location of the island shown on Ada’s mobile app, Charles felt that it was all worth it.
The huge key to the movement of aircraft carriers is the key to the door to the sky. The ultimate goal of the aircraft carrier is the farthest island in the chain. As long as it goes to that island, it can open the key to the door to the surface.
Charles, trembling all over, stood up and rushed towards the direction of the sound in the distance.
The motionless bodies around him had almost disappeared. When he came in front of Tuba and Anna, he saw them fighting over a body.
"You little bastard, let go!"
"Why? I saw it first!"
Charles' words finally stopped the two of them from fighting. "Okay, how long are you going to keep fighting?"
Charles grabbed Anna's hand and said to Tuba, "It's time to go back, Tuba, how do we get out of this angle?"
Tuba opened his mouth and spit out a huge bubble ring. "Go in, go in, and you can go back."
Charles looked at the squirming bubble ring and asked Tuba, "Are you really not going out?"
Tuba shook his head repeatedly with fear on his face. "How can I get out? I managed to hide here with great difficulty. If I get out, I will die miserably. Anyway, I can still communicate with you in here, but the meaning is a little twisted. The general meaning is the same."
Charles nodded, and pulled Anna, who was somewhat reluctant, into the squirming bubble.
"Boom!!" Charles heard the roar of cannons, and he felt the deck tilting; the Narwhal was capsizing.
In front of him, Dipper roared and stabbed the blade into the giant toad lying on the edge of the boat.
The other crew members raised their weapons and desperately attacked the sea otters that jumped onto the boat.
Everything was in chaos around her. The Narwhal put up its diving plates to defend against the attacks of the sea otters.
At this time, the dark water is no longer visible on the sea surface, but brown sea otters are everywhere, as if you have come to an ocean of sea otters.
They rushed towards the Narwhal frantically, and remained indifferent despite the continuous killing by Shanshan and the deck guns.
"Are these sea otters crazy?" Anna's hands quickly turned into tentacles and rushed forward.
"No, maybe now is the time when they are most sober." Seven or eight transparent tentacles with electric arcs came out from Charles and followed him to rush towards the most vulnerable line of defense.
