Chapter 306 Wrong Course
The next hour was a peaceful voyage.
When boarding the ship, the crew was still talking and laughing, but now, the whole ship has become dead, with only the engine roaring.
The Administration will not let this ship go, Chen Ke has this hunch. Smuggling holy objects is a serious crime, and Conrad's behavior is understandable. This is the price they have to bear: a lifetime of wanted.
However, the fact that a ship was directly overturned was still beyond Chen Ke's expectations. At least, he didn't expect Conrad to smuggle some goods while carrying people.
Chen Ke roughly knew where Conrad hid the holy objects, but his psychic vision could only see humanoid creatures through the wall, so he couldn't be sure what was hidden underneath.
Chen Ke suppressed his curiosity. It was better to stay out of their smuggling business. Besides, the holy objects on Chen Ke were probably more precious than those goods.
The black box space was essentially an uncontrolled hole opened by the Great Void in the real world. The Administration used a special building to seal this hole and confine the monsters that came to the real world through the hole.
As long as the cycle is not completed, the monsters that died in the black box space will be reincarnated with the Great Void. However, the things dropped from the monsters are very low-level.
And some of the Great Voids, such as Van Hede, appeared in the second cycle with living people. Would there be people there who accidentally traveled to the real world?
Even if there were, they should be taken in and controlled by the people of the Administration... After all, in Chen Ke's cognition, scientists are a group of emotionless and high-IQ lunatics.
Especially in his current state, Chen Ke is actually very resistant to hospitals, research institutes, PhDs, and doctors. He hopes that Diana's female PhD friend is more reliable...
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ke saw the coastline appearing at one end of the sea level through the porthole, with two rolling mountains and coastal roads looming.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was 2:16 pm.
Suddenly, Chen Ke felt that something was wrong. His cabin was located on the starboard side of the Endurance. When the Endurance sailed from the deep anchorage area of the City of Opportunity, the coastline was on the left and the right was the sea area connected to the open sea.
This means that the ship has turned around.
Chen Ke jumped off the narrow cot, pushed the door open, and came to the aisle of the rest area. As soon as he went out, he found that Nathan and Laura happened to be looking for him.
"Did you notice?" Laura asked straight to the point.
Chen Ke looked at Laura, then at Nathan, knowing that they also noticed that the ship's course had changed.
"I think we should ask Conrad. Enough has happened today. I even have some kind of illusion that I may never reach my destination." Nathan said.
"Although this may not be appropriate, I agree with you, but we may have to be careful about our words and try to avoid angering Conrad." Chen Ke said.
"I should not have boarded this ship if I had known." Laura sighed.
"It's useless to complain about these things now. I hope Conrad can give us a reasonable explanation." Chen Ke crossed his arms and shook his head.
The three of them thought about their words and then walked towards the deck stairs. Conrad should be in the bridge.
"Hey, you'd better not go up." A black crew member blocked the three people's way, and the expression on his face did not allow for discussion.
"We want to find the captain." Nathan said.
"He's not available now." The black crew member said.
At the same time, some crew members suddenly appeared behind the three people, all holding guns in their hands, as if threatening.
"Okay... okay... when did our relationship become so bad, huh?" Nathan stepped back slightly and smiled.
"What should we do?" Laura whispered, not knowing who she was asking.
"We want to see the captain, you'd better get out of the way." Chen Ke said lightly, and the murderous aura rising from behind him was like ripples in the lake slowly washing away.
This murderous aura used to be a light red, but now it has turned scarlet, and the color is as bright as a blood tide. It may be because the upper limit of life span has increased, causing the color of the murderous aura to become darker.
Just then, he saw a blue outline walking down from the deck. It was Conrad.
He only took a glance to know what was going on. He waved his hand and let the crew members around him disperse.
"What's wrong, gentlemen?" Conrad asked.
Chen Ke instantly retracted the murderous aura, and the scarlet murderous aura that had originally escaped from his body was immediately absorbed into his body.
He thought about using murderous aura to intimidate Conrad, but considering that the other party was a friend of Heinard, he held back.
Of course, seeing what Conrad is going to say now, if Chen Ke can't accept it, he still doesn't mind using some special means.
"We noticed that the ship is now heading in the opposite direction of our destination. We want to know why." Laura said bluntly.
"Yes, just like she said, we want to know why." Nathan said.
"You may remember that we blew up a ship half an hour ago. It was the Administration. It seems that they don't want to stop and sent three more ships to chase us." Conrad said.
"This is all your fault, Conrad. What is hidden in your ship? Why did you kill those coast guard members?" Laura asked.
Nathan glanced at Laura and kept saying "Oh no, oh no."
"Be careful with your words, Miss Laura, we did what we should do, and you have no right to blame us, otherwise you wouldn't be on this ship." Conrad threatened.
"Back to the point, everyone, what is the situation now? We are being chased by three ships of the Administration?" Chen Ke asked, he only cared about this.
"Yes, and I assure you that the ship is definitely different from the one that was just blown up. The people on the ship are no longer small fry equipped with automatic rifles, but psychics." Conrad said.
"Can your ship outrun them? As far as I can see, there are no psychics on your ship." Chen Ke sighed.
Trouble still came. He tried to keep a low profile during this journey, but the problem was with Conrad.
"In terms of absolute speed, the Endurance is just a fishing boat and can't outrun the Administration ships, and our firepower is not enough. Now I am thinking about countermeasures. You stay and rest, don't cause other things to distract me." Conrad said.
"If you think about it before killing those Administration patrol members, we won't be in the current situation." Laura was a little dissatisfied.
"Listen, ma'am, if I hadn't done it just now, we would all be squatting in the Administration's ship, waiting to be transferred to prison after docking." Conrad said.
"Now that I mention it, I'm also curious about what's hidden in your ship." Nathan smiled and leaned against the bulkhead.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, Mr. Nathan." Conrad said coldly.
"Can you get rid of them and take us to our destination? That's all I care about." Chen Ke hugged his chest and said.
"Well... I only care about the key points. I'm starting to like you a little, Chen Ke." Conrad looked at Chen Ke and smiled.
He looked at Nathan and Laura and said, "You two, go back to the cabin and have a good rest. I'll take care of this. Then, Chen Ke, come to the command room with me. I want to talk to you."
The three looked at each other, Chen Ke spread his hands, and then followed Conrad up the stairs.
