Conan Rick's Investigator

Vodka followed closely behind.

Kiel and Curacao secretly exchanged glances.

Even though Curacao only had one eye left, Kiel understood what she meant, which was to obey Gin first.

Vermouth walked at the end and also left the control room.

Inside the submarine, Bourbon ran forward along the dark and narrow passage.

He didn't expect that there was an undercover agent of the organization hiding inside the Pacific buoy, and he had realized that someone on the submarine had tipped off.

Now his identity has been exposed and there is no room for redemption.

The only way is to try to play the role of a "lone wolf spy" struggling desperately before death, so as to avoid dragging down Kiel and Curacao, whose identities have not been exposed yet, to the greatest extent.

Bourbon held a pistol in his right hand, ready to confront and exchange fire with the organization's people at any time. He struggled until the last moment and then shot himself with a "glory bullet".

Just as Bourbon was thinking this, a pair of big hands suddenly reached out from the side and pulled him into the corner.

He tried to struggle, but the force was incredibly strong.

"Shh...it's me..."

Bourbon glanced to the side and saw a familiar face.

"Qin?"

Bourbon's pupils dilated, and he lowered his voice in shock and asked, "How did you get on this ship?"

"Sneaked in..."

Qin Zhibo responded with some useless nonsense, and then asked Bourbon if anyone else besides him came to check the power supply.

This confused Bourbon because he thought Qin Zhibo had created the power outage just to save him.

The two of them briefly compared intelligence, and Qin Zhibo learned that there was an organized spy organization in the Pacific buoy, which led to the exposure of Bourbon's tip-off.

"is that so……"

Qin Zhibo narrowed his eyes slightly and thought quickly in his mind.

Just now, Gin attacked the Pacific buoy without hesitation.

This shows that the "Binga" himself was either a assassin, or he became Gin's victim without knowing it.

And Gin's mission is to destroy the Pacific buoy, which should be a very simple task. Why did he have to bring so many organizational cadres with him in person?

Moreover, to destroy a fixed target, why aren't submarines equipped with straight-flying torpedoes that are more effective?

Suddenly, Qin Zhibo thought of a possibility.

"Go back with me quickly!"

Qin Zhibo quickly left the corner and ran along the corridor into the control room.

Bourbon was instinctively stunned for a moment and was about to ask why, but Qin Zhibo had already run several meters away.

The two ran back to the control room along the passage, only to find that the submarine soldiers in the control room had been killed and the submarine had been set to automatic navigation mode.

The ultimate goal of navigation is the Pacific buoy!

"Damn it! This is indeed his purpose!"

Qin Zhibo cursed, walked forward and pulled the bodies of the submarine soldiers off the seats one by one.

Bourbon looked at the situation in the control room and stood there in shock.

"How is this going……"

"It's a trap."

Qin Zhibo operated the submarine skillfully with both hands and said, "The boss of the organization wants to use this submarine to get rid of the Pacific buoy and you at the same time..."

"Hurry up and send a message to Kiel and Curacao. If they are alone together, it will prove that my guess is correct."

Qin Zhibo's hands operated the complex control interface like an elegant pianist.

Originally he didn't know how to drive a submarine.

However, by investigating the bodies of these submarine soldiers, he quickly mastered the basic skills of driving a submarine.

The skill that the dead submarine soldiers revealed was ship driving, including submarines.

With the addition of general proficiency points, Qin Zhibo was almost a novice in ship driving one second, and grew into a veteran crew member with at least 20 years of ship driving experience the next second.

Chapter 1489 Crisis

On the other side, Kiel and Curacao were still tracking Bourbon in the dim passage.

Although both of them know each other's undercover identities, they are still on the submarine and must always be on guard against the ubiquitous Gin.

The two sides understood each other through eye contact and realized that if they found Bourbon on their side, they would let him leave the submarine through the torpedo launch tube.

If Bourbon is on the side of Gin, Vodka and Vermouth, then he can only blame himself for his bad luck...

Suddenly, the cell phone hidden inside Keel's leather jacket vibrated.

Kiel frowned slightly, not understanding who could send him a message at this time.

She glanced at Curacao, then pulled out her cell phone.

I saw a text message on the phone, and the sender was Bourbon.

But the content of the text message made Ji suddenly look surprised.

"Kil, what's wrong?" Curacao asked next to him.

Kiel put the phone back in his pocket and said, "Bourbon said the submariner in the control room was killed and the submarine was set to navigation mode."

"If the two of us are assigned together, it means that Gin and the others have already left the submarine..."

"leave?"

Curacao frowned slightly and suddenly realized something.

"This submarine has a lifeboat..."

Kiel was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Curacao meant.

The two immediately turned back from the passage they came from and turned to another branch passage.

When I arrived at the entrance of the cabin where the lifeboat was located, I saw a golden-haired woman bending down and preparing to get into the hatch.

Without saying a word, Kiel raised his gun and shot.

Pia! Pia!

Two bullets hit Vermouth's back, and blood splattered from her leather jacket on the right side of her shoulder and thigh.

"what--!"

Vermouth cried out in pain and fell to the ground one meter away from the entrance of the lifeboat.

While in the lifeboat, Gin heard the gunshots outside and immediately realized what was happening.

His cold eyes hesitated for only a second, and then he immediately turned to look at the submarine soldier who was operating the lifeboat next to him.

"withdraw!"

Hearing that Gin was about to leave, Vodka was stunned and reminded: "Brother, there is also Vermouth..."

"She's dying, close the hatch, vodka!"

Gin ordered firmly, with a hint of cold ruthlessness flashing in his dark green pupils.

Seeing this, Vodka, who was already sweating, could only turn around and close the cabin door.

Outside the lifeboat, Vermouth, who had been shot in the shoulder, was lying on the ground, watching the lifeboat door in front of her close.

Her beautiful face flashed with a hint of despair amidst shock.

The hatch of the cabin where the escape pod was located slowly opened, and seawater rushed in frantically through the gradually widening gap.

Curacao immediately stepped forward, passed by Vermouth, closed the inner hatch, and tightened the valve to prevent seawater from pouring into the submarine.

However, despite this, as the life capsule was detached, a shrill alarm sounded in the submarine.

The red indicator light flickered in the passage.

Vermouth struggled to turn over from the ground, covering the wound on the outside of her thigh with one hand, gritted her teeth, and asked the two people beside her.

"It seems that I have no choice but to die with you..."

There was a slight smile on Vermouth's lips, with a hint of sarcasm in it.

Kiel and Curacao looked down at Vermouth, and no one responded to her.

However, in the next second, the submarine's alarm was suddenly lifted.

This made Vermouth look shocked and she showed an expression of disbelief.

Kiel and Curacao are both here, and Bourbon should still be hiding on the submarine. It's impossible for anyone to enter the control room and turn off the alarm...

Who is it?

……

In the submarine control room, Qin Zhibo was sitting in front of the control panel. When he saw the escape indicator light of the life capsule light up, he knew that things were just as he expected.

Gin's real purpose is to have the submarine carrying the undercover agent crash into a Pacific buoy.

However, Qin Zhibo has no time to take care of these things now. The most urgent task at hand is to prevent this from happening.

Under his operation, the automatic navigation mode was quickly released.

But at this time the submarine is already very close to the Pacific buoy, and under the action of inertia the submarine still has to sail forward for some distance.

Moreover, it is much more difficult for a submarine to turn when it is completely submerged in water than when it is on the surface.

Qin Zhibo reversed the direction of rotation of the propeller and at the same time controlled the steering wheel to turn in the direction of the Kuroshio.

There is a strong Kuroshio Current below the base of the Pacific Buoy, which can provide a steady supply of power for the Pacific Buoy's power generation ring.

Qin Zhibo planned to use the power of the Kuroshio Current and the submarine's course to pull back the submarine that was about to hit the Pacific buoy.

At the same time, in the Pacific buoy, a large number of base staff gathered in front of the reinforced glass, watching the huge black iron-colored monster cruising in the deep sea.

The expressions on their faces showed shock, tension, or fear, but very few of them turned around and ran away.

Because it is impossible to escape from this distance.

Once the reinforced glass on the outer layer of the Pacific Buoy Base is broken, seawater will rush into the base frantically.

Even if there were waterproof doors to separate the different areas, it would be impossible to withstand such tremendous pressure.

However, as the submarine outside the glass got closer and closer, the head of the arched sphere looked bigger and bigger, and reason eventually overcame the instinct for survival.

"Oh, my God..."

The blond-haired and blue-eyed staff members ran away frantically, and the crowd that was crowded in front of the glass a few seconds ago suddenly scattered.

In the main control room, everyone was staring at the large screen in the center with great nervousness.

The red light dot representing the submarine is getting closer and closer to the green light dot representing the Pacific Ocean buoy.

At the same time, Hiroki Sawada was still reporting the distance of the submarine.

"100 meters away..."

"70 meters away..."

"40 meters..."

"30 meters..."

"20 meters..."

Under the combined effects of propeller reversal, the black current, and the steering wheel, the submarine's hull turned sideways at a 45° angle, like a dark whale practicing tail-swinging on a buoy in the Pacific Ocean.

"10..."

"9, 8, 7..."

"...1, 0!"
