Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1338 Small Umbrella

Sandwiched among a large group of hot tourists, Han Suiping was so nervous that he shivered.

He was like this every time he was excited and nervous, his whole body was shaking, he couldn't hold it down, he always wanted to hiccup in his throat, and when he wiped his wet palms on his pants, he was sweating profusely again.

It's obviously not the first time... But every time, he seems to be standing beside a cliff and looking down.How did he get to where he is now, and whether he can turn back now, he doesn't know, when he thinks of what will happen after he is caught, he is so scared that he just wants to go home—at this moment, he even thinks of The alley that was warmed by the sun when I was a child.

As he put the satchel on the X-ray machine's tracks, he just kept praying to God, please, let me go one more time.

"Whose bag is this?" The security inspector in black uniform grabbed his satchel from the other side of the X-ray machine. "come here!"

Han Suiping looked at the other unaware tourists.They were all sweating, with lightness on their faces, and walked out while putting their bags back on their shoulders—outside, there was the endless blue sea and blue sky, and the joy of a giant cruise ship waiting to set sail.

"It's mine," he said dryly, "what's the matter?"

"Take out the things and have a look," the security inspector tapped his bag with a short stick in his hand, and ordered—probably he was too lazy to empty his bag himself.

This is a good sign, Han Suiping is afraid of meeting the kind of special security personnel who will press the interlayer of fabric with his finger after emptying the bag.

Toiletry bag, a stack of clothes, two books... When he was taking out one by one, the short stick landed on a square bag.

"What is this? Is it a computer?"

"No, no," Han Suiping laughed hastily, "I'm a painter, and I brought this kind of color book with a large format...Look."

He opened the zipper, pulled out a drawing book and opened it.Various colors of pigments form a landscape painting on paper, and the pigments are ingeniously mixed with fine metal powder, which really looks beautiful. "Look," he didn't dare to give the other party a chance to stay longer in the coloring book, and hurriedly pulled out another small bag, "Here are my paints, brushes, and brush holders..."

The security inspector thought about it with annoyed expression, waved his hand and said, "Come on."

Han Suiping breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he feel that his back was already dripping with sweat.

Fortunately, it's hot here, so it's not surprising to be sweating a little... He put his things away again, took out the "Take-off Journey" sign from his pocket, hung it around his neck, and followed the flow of tourists towards the direction where the cruise ships stopped at the Copperland Wharf .When he looked back, the security officer was already looking at the next person's bag—God let him off again.

Some people like fishing, some people like playing games, some people like painting, these are not life-threatening, but his hobbies are different.

He loves surfing the Internet.

Han Suiping, along with hundreds of other tourists, checked the tickets and boarded the boat honestly, found his room according to the ticket number, and as soon as he closed the door, he turned off the lights first.The cabin on the bottom floor of the cruise ship had no windows, and after turning off the lights, it was as dark as a blind person. He opened his eyes wide in the darkness and looked around.

The blips of the smoke alarms flickered in the dark, but there was nothing else.

Generally speaking, monitors will not be installed in guest rooms, unless someone secretly takes pictures.What Han Suiping was afraid of was that someone wanted to secretly take pictures of women, and ended up taking pictures of him and reported him.He turned on the light, checked around carefully, and finally breathed out.

He carefully took out the coloring book.This is a fake book that he spent several weeks making. It is like the kind of fake book used for decoration. The pages look very realistic on the outside, but the inside is hollowed out, and the size is just right for it to fit. A computer and charger are provided.He also asked a friend who knew how to draw to draw him a few color paintings mixed with metal powder, and put them at the front of the book. From the naked eye, there was almost no suspiciousness.

The difficulty lies in how to deal with the X-ray machine.

Most tourists can understand why knives, drugs and explosives are not allowed, but apart from Han Suiping, I am afraid that few people can realize why computers are not allowed on cruise ships.Electronic products cannot hide when they pass under the X-ray machine; in order to solve this problem, he really spent a lot of thought at the beginning.

He took off the thin case covering the computer and smoothed it out with great care. After all, this thin case cost him several months and a lot of savings.After trial and error, he finally created a special coating using barium sulfate, aluminum flakes, glass and other materials; It looked suspicious as if there was nothing there.But even with confidence in his work, he felt like he was going to have a heart attack the first time he took a computer on a cruise.

Going through an X-ray machine is only a small difficulty.When Han Suiping unfortunately developed this hobby that could be sentenced to prison, the biggest problem he faced was that all the computers on sale did not have wireless signal receiving devices.

After the cruise ship set sail, Han Suiping washed off his sweat, went to have a meal, and then went for a sightseeing walk on the deck like other tourists.This vast deep blue sea is just an appendage to his every trip. At first, his mind was not on this seascape; but recently he has been able to appreciate the magnificent beauty of the sea more and more.

Outside the fence, there is such a wide, stretched, and free scenery.The sea gradually became the second reason why he kept boarding the boat.

The sailing of the Xingbang was very long, and it would take a week to float at sea, during which most of the voyage was on the high seas and open seas.The voyage passes through two small islands, and tourists can even disembark and dive for a while near the beach—but they cannot go ashore because that is the territory of other countries.

Because you can see the beaches of other countries from a distance, the Xingbang route is very popular and it is always hard to find a ticket; Han Suiping has visited the beaches of other countries four times so far, and considering his salary, this is really a must. heavy burden.

This hobby not only burns money, but also burns life.

Han Suiping smiled bitterly, lay down on the deck bench, and turned a page of the book in his hand.The boat had just sailed, so it wasn't time yet; he couldn't make his first attempt at surfing the Internet until at least tomorrow afternoon.

"Is anyone sitting here?" A soft female voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Han Suiping looked up and saw a girl in a swimsuit and a long coat.She was wearing big sunglasses and her hair was still dripping with water from the swimming pool.

"Ah, no."

She spread the towel on another bench, smiled at him and said, "What book are you reading?"

Although the upper half of her face could not be seen, she had a mouthful of neat white teeth when she smiled, which made her look very pretty.

Han Suiping closed the book uncomfortably, and said, "It's not a good book—ah, I didn't mean that, I want to say, it's not an interesting book either."

The girl giggled and asked, "What's that?"

"Look," Han Suiping shook the book at her, titled "A Happy Life Surrounded by Light".There are the most books with this title in bookstores. At first glance, the bookshelves are either happy or beautiful, and the positive energy that is full of mountains and seas is the least likely to attract attention.He picked the best-selling one, and when he got home, he cut off the pages with a knife, leaving the book cover and spine intact, and put an old book he found in a thrift store into it page by page.

The girl nodded, she really lost interest in the book, and lay back on the bench to listen to music.Her calves were sun-tanned and glowing, a healthy beauty.

Han Suiping wanted to continue reading, but he didn't know if the other party's gaze under the sunglasses could scan his own pages.He thought it was better to be safe, so he closed the book and went back to his room—with some regret in his heart.

He has also been single for several years. When he meets a beautiful girl, he will naturally yearn for him, wanting to approach her, and want to talk to her more.However, safety still matters.

In the afternoon of the second day, in his constant anxious anticipation, he finally arrived slowly.

"The ship has reached the high seas", when this announcement sounded on the radio, all the passengers on the ship would obviously be excited and happy, even though the sea is the sea, and there is no difference in the scenery.Han Suiping knew very well why he was happy to have reached the high seas, but he just couldn't understand what other people could be happy about.However, that didn't matter - as soon as he heard the announcement, he hurried back to the room.

He turned up the music on his mobile phone to the maximum volume, stuffed the computer under the quilt and turned it on.The special musical sound when it was turned on was submerged in the rock music.

Covered in the quilt, after adjusting the settings, he found the lower right corner familiarly, where there was a small signal icon that was not found on other people's computers: three arcs stacked up, one longer than the other, looking like a A small umbrella or a small mushroom.The little umbrella was gray now, he clicked it, and the computer slowly searched for a signal.

He was stuffy and hot under the covers, but anticipation had overcome all discomfort.He waited patiently for a while, and the computer popped up a prompt: No signal could be found.

...that's not right.

His computer accessories are very old, especially the satellite signal receiving device, which is a fish that slipped through the net after he bought an unknown number of old computers from the past.Its sensitivity is certainly a headache, but generally speaking, it is time to start receiving satellite signals in the afternoon of the second day after departure.

Could it be that the accessories are too old?
Holding the computer, Han Suiping walked around the room a few times; several times he thought he was about to succeed, but the result was the same frustrating reminder.

what happened?He couldn't wait to take a few pictures of it, to see if it could be filmed as well as it was on the old TV.

He raised his head, looked around the room, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

No, he has been on the Xingbang four times, and each time he wants the cheapest room, but this time the interior of the room is obviously different from the past—the color of the wall panels has changed, and it looks very new.He was so focused on surfing the Internet that he didn't notice the biggest difference right under his nose.

Could it be that it has been redecorated and the building materials have been thickened?

"Yes," a waiter who stopped him in the aisle after he rushed out the door replied, "It was just renovated last month, and the wall panels were changed. Isn't it much more beautiful?"

What a beautiful fart, Han Suiping repeatedly cursed in his stomach.His old and dying signal receiving device was no match for the newly renovated wall panels. Could it be that he had to go back without doing anything after venturing out this trip?
He stood in the room, staring blankly for a while.

There seems to be only one option... and that is to take the computer to the deck.
