Without navigation, without a compass, the ship lost its way.

But fortunately, they are already far away from the infection leak point, so the infected creatures who just launched an attack did not chase after them immediately.

At this time, a signal bomb exploded in the night sky.

In the clouds, a huge shadow towered into the clouds, flickering, almost pulling the nerves of the people on board to the extreme.

"What it is?"

"Monster?"

"How could there be such a thing..."

Ji Nanze also hugged his knees, staring at the fading clouds, his lips turned white.

"Is it the signal from Changfeng and the others?" Only Heisen jumped up excitedly at the bow, "Captain, let's go there quickly! They probably successfully retrieved the samples."

The captain gave him a pale look, nodded quickly, and started the engine in the direction.

Ji Nanze looked at the position where the signal flare was emitted, and then at the dark clouds, his brows were unconsciously knitted.

Visions are becoming more frequent and incomprehensible beings are repopulating land or sea.

Humans, where should we go?

When they arrived at the destination, they fished out seven or eight living people from the sea.

Among them are Mr. Wei, Zou Tu, Jiang Sen and Gu Changfeng.

Hai Sen was terribly anxious at the back of the crowd, as soon as he saw a gap, he immediately rushed forward, hugging the dripping Gu Changfeng and refused to let go.

If the thin monkey hadn't looked around and stepped forward, saying that if he shouted so loudly again, he would be careful to attract the monsters under the water, so he would have given up.

The captain wrapped blankets for several people, fearing that they would freeze in the middle of the night.Then, they learned from Mr. Wei what happened to the search team when they dived, and the mysterious vines in the sunken ship. After a period of madness, they disappeared naturally, leaving behind the severely damaged hull and Zou Tu holding the sample jar.

He wouldn't let anyone get the can, and was emotionally unstable almost from the leak point.But the search team didn't care about this anymore, they had already got what You Guohao wanted, and they didn't know what was waiting for them in the sea, so they had to go up as soon as possible.

It is estimated that the intermediate host under the sea noticed the problem. When they floated up with a small green-eyed fish swimming inexplicably, they were attacked by a school of fish again, and several people were lost in a row.

Ji Nanze looked at Zou Tu at the stern and listened to those people sitting around talking about their thrilling underwater journey.

He walked over, looked at Zou Tu who was holding the jar and refused to let go, and twisted his wet hair.

Zou Tu sniffed: "...Senior."

"I'll catch a cold."

He didn't ask anything, just motioned him to recite it.

Ji Nanze wiped his hair with a towel.

Inside the jar was a long, jerky-like thing.But it is very withered and wrinkled, and the whole is black. It is probably made from something.

Zou Tu hugged the jar tightly, looking at the sea in the distance, his shoulders trembling imperceptibly.

Before Ji Nanze could get curious, he sat closer.Zou Tu couldn't help but lowered his head and began to cry softly.

"Senior..."

Ji Nanze put down the towel, didn't care that he was soaked, and reached out to hug him.

"I'm here, tell me."

Zou Tu choked up crying, crying so hard that he couldn't make a sound.

He'd never seen him so broken, never.

No matter how painful the injury was, no matter how many crimes he suffered, he gritted his teeth and endured it.He had never cried like this, like a child, without restraint.

"Senior...Senior..."

"I am here."

"It's my mother..."

He froze, the expression on his face frozen as if frozen.

"Senior, this is my mother." Tears couldn't stop pouring down his pants, he sobbed helplessly, "The sample below is my mother... You Guohao..." He hugged his head in great pain, He roared with all his strength, "You Guohao, You Guohao...he, he used, used my mother's corpse...for experiments."

Ji Nanze hugged him tightly, resting his chin on his trembling shoulder.He stared at the sea calmly, gnashing his teeth with hatred.

That's why, that's why You Guohao insisted on letting Zou Tu participate in the plan.

It is so, it is so.

Underwater samples will instinctively repel any foreign objects, but Zou Tu is different.

He was the son of the poor victim under the sea.

A child who has never felt love, travels thousands of miles and is not afraid of dangers to kill his mother.

It was hard to imagine that he was at the bottom of that closed, dark, almost drowning abyss, and he couldn't even cry out, and he didn't even have the right to curse.

unimaginable...

"He will pay the price." Ji Nanze's arms gradually tightened, his joints and blood vessels bulged with anger, and his teeth creaked. "I won't let you be wronged for nothing, Zou Tu, I swear."

***

Because there was no specific direction, the ship was traveling extremely hard, and everyone on the deck was in a state of high tension.

That night they were again driven into the storm by reefs and eddies.

Ji Nanze was resting at the stern of the boat with Zou Tu. At this moment, raindrops were carried by the strong wind and fell towards the top of his head.

He took off his coat and put it over the heads of the two men.Shoulders leaning on each other, body close to each other.

"It's raining," he said. "Aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

Zou Tu shook his head.

"Then I will stay with you."

He shook his head again, with a heavy nasal voice: "Senior will get sick."

"It's okay, it's fine when it rains."

Zou Tu glanced at him, then lowered his head again.

"Senior."

"Ok?"

"Why did he do this to me?" His voice was hoarse, "Why did he do this to my mother?"

"I don't know." Ji Nanze looked up at the thunder and lightning rising from the clouds from time to time, "but he is a bastard. A complete bastard."

"I don't think she did anything wrong." Zou Tu said, "She fell in love with my father and gave birth to me. She died of postpartum hemorrhage, and my father..."

Ji Nanze quickly pressed his hand to prevent him from continuing to think about it.

"No."

"Why? It's me...if I didn't open the container..."

"If you don't open the container, she will be left on the bottom of the sea forever, unable to sleep forever, unable to close her eyes." He turned to Zou Tu with tenderness and affection, "I don't know how much she knows about this human experiment, I don't know how much she knows about this human experiment. What is your mood, but I believe that when she sees you, all unwillingness, resentment, and watchfulness are destined to be gone."

"Zou Tu, you are loved by her. A person who loves you, how can he be willing to blame you?... How can he be willing?"

At this time, Luosang on the deck shouted to them: "Nanze, go into the cabin, the engineering department has already started to prepare for the next storm. It is dangerous to stay outside."

Ji Nanze nodded to her, and pulled Zou Tu who was on the ground to stand up.

"Come on, let's go into the cabin."

The other party threw himself on him, sucking his nose lightly.

"Ah."

In the cabin, the guest bedroom.

Seven people sat around the table, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.

"Brother Zou, are you okay?" The thin monkey felt restless anyway, and was not very used to this kind of atmosphere, so he tentatively pushed his elbow against the opponent's side.

"Don't provoke him, he is in a bad mood."

Ji Nanze watched Zou Tu hide from him for a while, and hugged his shoulder generously.

Hai Sen was also very concerned: "What's the matter with Zou Zou? He looked very sad when he came up. Shouldn't we be happy to meet each other alive?"

"not like this."

Zou Tu bit his lip, as if he couldn't imagine the doubts that this sentence might raise.

"It's not what you think."

"What's wrong?" Luosang went up to care first.

Then came Shouhou and Heisen.

"Brother Zou, are you okay? You can tell my brother what's on your mind. Although your brother and I don't have much skills, we are good at mediating disputes between neighbors, even better than the aunt of the neighborhood committee."

"Are you here again? Last time you said you were a master machine repairer, didn't you get overwhelmed by the wind?"

"Damn, what about your archaeology? You're going to shake out any embarrassing things, right?"

"Zou Zou, let's ignore him. If you are unhappy, just tell us! Guarantee the cure!"

Jiang Sen also glanced at him. He lit a candle and looked at everyone present.

"Don't worry about others, it's a secret between all of us."

Gu Changfeng agreed without saying a word.

Looking at Zou Tu, who was surrounded by everyone and was about to reveal his true feelings, Ji Nanze laughed in relief.

Soon, he was telling all the stories.Together with what Shouhou and Luosang had heard, as well as the things they hadn't heard along the way, all came out at once.

Including the vaccines he had received, the so-called slime mold, and You Guohao's interlocking conspiracy.

When listening to his narration of these stories, Slim Monkey and Heisen were terrified.

"He cut your heart open?" The thin monkey rushed forward eagerly, "Brother Zou, lift up your clothes and let me see the wound... Hey, Xiao Ji, where is the heart? Is it there?" Around this thing." He said, and he reached out to pull Zou Tu's clothes, "Brother Zou, take a look."

"Are you a rascal?" Luosang tapped him on the head.

The thin monkey held his head and groaned, feeling wronged and innocent.

"They experimented on me." Zou Tu cleared his throat, and was a little nervous when talking about his own story. He looked around, observed everyone's expressions, and finally stopped on Ji Nanze's face.

His senior had a gentle smile on his face, trying to encourage him to continue talking.

So he plucked up the courage to tell all the experimental details that he could recall.

"It's so cruel." Luosang frowned, and couldn't help scolding You Guohao a few words.

The thin monkey rolled up his sleeves angrily: "Grandma, you bastard. I thought there was some kind of feud between you. I can cut him into 250 pieces just by this alone."

After talking about the details of the experiment, the leak of slime mold was mentioned.

"So, this outbreak of infection is all due to operational errors in the laboratory and poor supervision?"

Jiang Sen was a little angry: "He never told Mr. Wei, he just packaged himself as a victim, a diligent scientist, and contributed to world peace."

Hai Sen on the other side was also very angry: "He is a liar! I will never call him the boss again!"

Chatting and chatting, they finally talked about the jar in Zou Tu's hand.

Everyone here held their breath.

Zou Tu, who was in the middle of the topic, took a deep breath, raised his head, and faced everyone.

Then he laughed with a forced expression.

"The sample in the jar is my mother."

"When I was young, I always thought that she didn't want me anymore. It was because she didn't like me and didn't love me, so she left me beside my grandpa and suffered all the tortures."

"It turns out that it's not what I thought. My mother wants to see me, she misses me all the time, and she always... loves me very much."
