Chapter 310 Conrad's Past

6:24 p.m.

After four hours of sailing, the Endurance was still floating steadily in the sea area closed by the administration, as if the terrifying description of this sea area was a joke.

The only disturbing thing is that once entering this sea area, all radio signals are immediately interrupted.

Conrad stood at the helmsman, confirming the ship's navigational readings to make sure nothing strange happened.

What he was most worried about was nothing more than something emerging from under the sea to attack the ship. He had already installed a series of protective equipment on his clothes.

These safety equipment include military-grade sonar and a whole-ship monitoring system. The monitors will not only monitor the situation inside the ship, but also take pictures of key external hull structures such as the bottom and propellers, and are directly connected to a laptop in his captain's cabin. Let him have full control of his ship at all times.

Even so, Conrad was worried.

Because no matter how many 7.62-caliber bullets there are, there is no way to kill those things, especially at sea. Losing a ship means losing a life.

He picked up an ancient bullet hole telescope, stood by the bed and looked towards the sea horizon. The low clouds in the distance almost kissed the sea level, and the white waves were rolling and shining white under the scorching sun.

Everything looked normal. The area of ​​this restricted sea area was not very large. In fact, at the speed of the Endurance, it had already completed half of the voyage after 4 hours of sailing.

It seemed like there was nothing to worry about.

Conrad put down the telescope and saw Chen Ke standing on the deck. He seemed to be worried, staring at the deck with his head down in trance. He didn't know what Chen Ke was thinking, but he just hoped that the other party wouldn't be afraid at this juncture.

Chen Ke actually didn't think about anything. He was just scanning the entire ship with his spiritual vision.

Like Conrad, Chen Ke is also very worried that something will invade the ship silently. In many ocean and space-themed horror films, terrible things happen like this.

It's just that in this world, many strange things that cannot be explained by science can all be classified into the category of psychic energy.

Those monsters are not created out of nothing, they are either native monsters from the Great Void, or real things infected by spiritual energy. If this sea is blocked just because there are monsters below, it makes no sense.

It is not a simple matter to trap some underwater monsters in a sea. Chen Ke is more inclined to guess that this sea area has some kind of strong magnetic field, perhaps due to the interference of psychic factors, causing the ship's instruments to malfunction. Shipwreck…

If so, it also proves that this trip is a dead end.

At least it was calm now, and he hoped it would remain like this for the rest of his trip until he arrived in Norton City.

The journey was uneventful, and everyone was spending time playing cards in the cabin. As night fell, the moon stared mercilessly at the sea, sweeping away the heat of the day and bringing in a cold breath.

Many crew members put on their coats and lined up at the galley window to receive their meals. Chen Ke held the iron tray and watched the chef use a large, exaggerated colander to cover the upper right corner of the tray with a pile of mashed potatoes, and then stuffed a piece of fried fish with some vegetables.

Although the food didn't look very elegant, it smelled good. Laura and Nathan hadn't eaten anything since lunch, so they ate it immediately after getting the food.

Chen Ke also took a few bites. The smooth texture and rich aroma of the mashed potatoes left a deep impact on him. It was so salty and sweet that even a person with no need for food could not help but finish it.

Although it’s nice not to need to eat, enjoying delicious food is also a great pleasure in life.

"It seems that this sea area is not as scary as we thought. Maybe we have luck." Nathan came over at this time and came to the corner where Chen Ke was.

"What do you think is under the sea? A monster?" Chen Ke asked.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. It's best if I don't know for the rest of my life." Nathan smiled.

"Me too. I hope that after I get some sleep, Conrad will tell me that I've arrived. That's what I want." Chen Ke also smiled.

Nathan said goodbye to Chen Ke and returned to his cabin with the tray.

Chen Ke lowered his head slightly, his pupils glowed blue, and he scanned the ship again, and found that in the captain's cabin, Conrad was drinking alone.

"Dong dong dong..."

Running up the bridge, Chen Ke knocked on the door.

"Chen Ke, I know it's you." A voice came from the door.

Chen Ke pushed the door open and saw Conrad holding a wine bottle in his right hand, sitting on his seat and drinking while looking at a small photo frame. There were four empty bottles on the table. It looked like he had drank a lot.

He covered the picture frame, then took out a glass from the table, opened another bottle of wine and poured it into it.

"We haven't left this sea area yet, and you're drinking like this. Aren't you afraid of something happening?" Chen Ke asked.

"It's enough for you to stay awake, right? Anyway, I will help you a lot by then." Conrad's face turned red and he was already drunk.

"This ship needs a captain." Chen Ke said.

Conrad sighed, pushed the filled glass to the opposite side of the table, and motioned for Chen Ke to come over and sit down.

"Did I tell you about the Gulf War? That time in 1991..." Conrad asked.

Chen pulled up a chair and sat across from Conrad, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, and asked: "The Gulf War... I remember it was a crushing war."

In Chen Ke's world, it was a landmark modern war, the first large-scale armed conflict after the Cold War, showing the world what equipment crushing is...

"I think you are kidding... Chen Ke, it was a nightmare." Conrad smiled.

It seems that the Gulf War in this world is completely different.

"It was in Sus Bay, a beautiful small seaside city, but the locals there secretly studied psychic injection technology and tried to create psychics to fight against the Administration. The United Nations and the International Psychic General Administration commissioned the United Federation to send troops to catch them all before the situation got out of control." Conrad said lightly, squinting at the desk lamp, his thoughts seemed to drift to the past.

The Gulf War that Conrad said was completely different from what Chen Ke thought, but a psychic version.

He recalled intermittently, talking about the indiscriminate bombing of Sus Bay by the Air Force at that time, which caused a purgatory on earth.

In order to effectively kill the target in the first wave of attack to the greatest extent, the United Federation Air Force dispatched hundreds of B52 bombers, regardless of the Human Rights Act, and dropped white phosphorus bombs over Sus Bay.

This bomb has a very low ignition point and will burn immediately when it comes into contact with oxygen. The temperature can reach 1000 degrees. In addition to the high temperature, it is not easy to extinguish until it burns out, otherwise it will not go out. It can also evacuate the air in some areas, causing a very tragic killing effect.

When the first round of bombing ended, the Marine Corps where Henard was located landed first. As ordinary people's army, their main role was to enter the city to deal with conventional enemies.

And behind them was the real main force, the psychic conventional army.

Their abilities are similar to P.W.A.T. They are psychics who are stronger than investigators, but not as good as agents of the Administration. They use psychic bullets to deal with psychic threats around the world with the scale of an army and endless ammunition.
