The battle was thrilling, but the captain remembered that the Kraken was obviously killed by them. Unfortunately, the smell of blood attracted many great white sharks, and they were so frightened that they fled the battlefield in a hurry without even getting their trophies.

Four crew members died on the ship that time.

The captain never went to sea again. He bought a house in a small town and settled alone with his few possessions. He never even dared to go to the beach again.

He Xiaoman looked at the captain who was obviously still immersed in past memories. In fact, she was not a nosy person. She would help the captain speak because in Gina's chaotic memories, the captain had helped her twice.

Once, a group of children pulled Gina's skirt and beat her. The captain expelled those naughty children.

Once, when Gina was kicked out of the house by Erwin because she was hungry, and she was squatting at the door of the house crying silently, the captain gave Gina the food he bought and left.

This ferocious man who looks powerful and blind in one eye is actually a good man.

He Xiaoman's previous words to stop it were because he noticed something was wrong outside and shouted to the captain.

After preventing the captain from going out for the second time, He Xiaoman received Bu Bu's reward message.

——Congratulations to the owner of the house for successfully saving a citizen, gaining popularity 5 and primary building materials 15.

Something moved in her heart.

He Xiaoman has received rewards outside of tasks like this before. For example, when he killed those synthetic monsters in Xingfu Village, He Xiaoman received a lot of rewards.

So is the reward given this time because the captain has helped the host before, or is it because He Xiaoman will be rewarded as long as he saves people?

She didn't know this. He Xiaoman knew about the direction of the mission and this kind of problem. Even asking Bu Bu was useless. She didn't know if it was a rule of the system in his universe. In short, Bu Bu mostly provided

Some common sense questions and tasks generally require He Xiaoman to actively trigger them.

Let’s take a look and talk about it when we get a chance.

The entire convenience store, including the owner Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett, were eating.

He Xiaoman couldn't help but shrink his pupils when he saw Mr. Bartlett's family of four sitting in the rest area provided by the baking area to eat.

This isn't right.

Why did they run downstairs to eat as a family?

Indeed, there is nothing surprising about eating food from your own store, but dragging your whole family downstairs to eat breakfast noisily in the rest area with the customers seems to be very inappropriate no matter how you look at it.

Especially since this kind of thing has never happened before.

At least Gina has never seen it.

After He Xiaoman saw the expressions of Boss Bartlet's family, she became more certain of her guess.

The captain found that He Xiaoman had been watching Boss Balite and his family eating, so he came over and asked, "Aren't you full? Do you want to eat their seafood baked rice?"

He Xiaoman shook his head: "I just wonder why they don't eat in their own restaurant, but go to the rest area downstairs to eat. Moreover, Mr. Bartlett's two children are obviously very unhappy."

If it was to accompany the two children, it would be reasonable, but obviously the family of four was not very interested, and even looked a little gloomy.

"Just now, Mrs. Bartlett asked the store clerk to remove all the gas masks with oxygen bottles from the shelves. It seems that they also went to the warehouse."

Although the captain who had been working at sea for many years was frightened by the sea monster, he still had the experience. After hearing He Xiaoman's words, the expression on his face suddenly became ugly.

"Listen to me, kid, you wait here. If there's any danger, you hide. If there's no danger, just stay here and don't move. I'll go upstairs and take a look and come down right away."

He Xiaoman nodded in agreement.

The captain walked aimlessly here and there, as if looking for something, and slowly walked to the elevator.

Then He Xiaoman saw the clerk standing there stopping the captain. After a few words of conversation between the two, the captain returned with a gloomy look on his face.

"Something must have happened. Bartlett and the others knew clearly but refused to tell us."

After discovering that this taciturn little girl had amazing insights, the captain began to communicate with He Xiaoman as an adult.

"poison gas?"

He Xiaoman suddenly said two words in shock.

The captain's face became increasingly ugly.

There was an overwhelming thick fog outside, but the Bartlett family suddenly came down from upstairs and stayed with them downstairs, and took away all the oxygen bottles as soon as they came down. What does this mean?

The only thing that involves oxygen and gas masks is that there may be some kind of harmful gas mixed in the thick fog. It may be a nearby chemical plant or a leak somewhere.

After hearing the captain's analysis, He Xiaoman said leisurely: "If that's the case, why don't they quietly take away the oxygen bottles and stay upstairs? Wouldn't that be safer?"

As long as the elevator leading to the fourth floor is locked and the outer staircase is closed, no one can go up and harass them. Wouldn't it be better to hide and wait until the toxic mist dissipates before coming out? Why risk running downstairs?

"Maybe they don't have enough food reserves upstairs." After the captain said it, he rejected it: "No, no, no, they have enough time to move enough food and water upstairs."

The possibilities were squeezed again, and the two people said in unison: "Upstairs!"

They could only be like this because there was some kind of danger on the fourth floor. It had something to do with the air, but it was definitely not just the thick fog that was everywhere.

The captain clenched his fists: "I'll ask Bartlett."

"He will never tell you. Are you going to use force with him then? No one is aware of this unknown danger now. Bartlet can order and instigate all the clerks and some customers to deal with you together. After all, you have been there before

I said the sea monster is here to find you."

The captain suddenly became dejected.

With his strength, one to three is no problem, any more than he can handle, and there are about twenty clerks in the entire convenience store. They are employed by Bartlett, so they will definitely not be inclined to him.

.

If he had to force it, I'm afraid he would have already experienced the danger from the store owner before he could find out what the danger was.

"The fox's tail will always be exposed. As long as we follow them now and don't stay too far away from them at any time, there will be no danger."

He Xiaoman felt that even if Bartlett was forced to tell him what the danger was in advance, when it came to an indispensable factor like breathing, announcing the danger in advance was equivalent to creating panic in advance.

She dared to tell the captain because she understood that this fierce man had a kind heart and the courage to take responsibility.

Otherwise, he would not openly admit that the sea monster came to find him. How could the captain not know that he would become the target of public criticism once he said this?

Since you were rewarded for saving this person before, this has proved from the side that at least this person is not the enemy of your current mission.
