How important is money when people live in this world?

Every time this issue was discussed in the past, Gu Jun would say it was very important.

"I can tell you that there is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty."

Gu Jun still remembers three years ago, when he had just turned 18 and received the admission notice for the eight-year bachelor's, master's and doctoral program in clinical medicine at Dongzhou University School of Medicine, one of the top five in the country, and was talking to his high school classmates.

How did he say this classic movie line at the graduation party?

Not desolate, but high-spirited, as if the winner in life is about to dominate the world.

A stubborn disguise... and a sadness that no one knows.

Yes.

For an orphan who received the tragic news of the death of his parents when he was only ten years old, the five million in various compensations was Gu Jun's only financial source and only spiritual support in the next ten years of his life.

The money is first managed by a trust fund, and after he reaches the age of 18, he can freely dispose of all the inheritance.

He no longer has any relatives, but he still has money!

Of course, only money is left.

"Local tycoon" was a nickname given to him by his college classmates, both openly and secretly, showing affection and ridicule.

He spends a lot of money and entertains guests with all kinds of food, drinks and entertainment. These are his only advantages in school.

It was probably because the college entrance examination had exhausted all the energy and energy he had spent studying in his life, and he felt that his mother's determination, "I want to be a doctor when I grow up!" was meaningless. After entering college, he completely lost his motivation.

He turned from a top student to a bad student. He either failed or just passed the passing mark in every subject. On weekdays, he only had fun and had fun. He went day and night, went to bars and chased girls, and lived in a state of drunkenness...

As time went by, the professors gave up all their expectations for him, the counselor also gave up, and many students took a detour when they saw him. Everyone said that people like Gu Jun, in addition to insulting the lintel of Dongda University,

There's no point in it. If you hang out with him, you'll be ruined together.

Gu Jun didn't have any refutation, because he knew in his heart that everyone was right, he was just a gangster, and he planned to continue to hang around.

Until half a year ago.

Gu Jun received the second piece of bad news in his life.

He has a brain stem tumor.

Moreover, it is medulloblastoma, the most malignant brain stem tumor, and his condition has no chance of surgery.

Even if there is a chance for surgery, with radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, the average survival time of patients is 0.9 years, which is less than one year.

At that moment, Gu Jun, who had been sluggish for two and a half years, seemed to be showered with cold water and woke up completely.

Tuhao Jun is dead and Gu Jun is back.

He began to cheer up and actively received treatment. However, the brainstem is the nerve center of the human body and has always been called a "surgery restricted area". Hua Tuo was afraid of the kind he saw. At that time, he traveled to many cities and countries but could not find it.

Which hospital dares to operate on him?

After three months of searching for a doctor to no avail, and after researching the world's latest medical information on brain stem tumors, Gu Jun accepted the fact that there was no cure for him, and even money could not cure him.

Then, he made two decisions.

First, buy a set of luxury cruise tickets, depart from Dongzhou City, pass through Malacca, and reach the Indian Ocean. Seize the last moment, during this hot summer vacation, visit the place where your parents worked before they were alive, and complete this childhood dream

My wish: If I am not dead yet, I will continue to travel around the world.

Second, he left only a few tens of thousands of his net worth and donated the remaining one million yuan to the Swan Children's Hope Fund for orphan education.

If there is an afterlife, do some good deeds and hope to be reborn in a good pregnancy.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, we have arrived at the Longkan submarine volcanic zone. The deep diving project you booked is ready. Please go to the boat ladder to board the dive within half an hour."

The sweet voice of a waitress brought Gu Jun, who was sitting in a daze in the outdoor cafe on the top deck, out of his thoughts.

"Okay." He nodded and said, "I can go there now." After that, Yili gave her a tip.

The waitress accepted the tip and her smile became even brighter. Mr. Gu is handsome and generous, so he is always happy to serve him. She smiled and said: "Mr. Gu, please come with me.

."

At the moment, Gu Jun followed the waitress to the lower level of the ship, looking at the surrounding sea with mixed feelings.

Is this the place where my parents had an accident?

Gu Jun didn't like the sea when he was a child. Because he could never understand why his father, the captain of the scientific research vessel "Seabird", and his mother, the ship's doctor, had to stay at sea for many years, but left him to be raised in a guardianship institution?

What are they studying? Is it really more important than their own children?

That damn Sanwu Scientific Research Company, apart from saying "The Seabird sank in a storm, it was determined that the whole ship was sacrificed" and throwing away five million, there was no follow-up. The ship was not found, and the body was not found! Soon, that company

The company closed down.

What exactly happened that year?

The sea is an eerily deep blue, and the waves are constantly rolling, covering up the past.

Gu Jun sometimes even wonders, are his parents really dead? Maybe they did not die in the shipwreck, but were living on a desert island waiting for rescue?

Or... just sink to the bottom of this area?

Just because he wanted to find the answer, he paid a high price to book this deep diving project: tourists enter a boat-shaped submersible that can dive to a depth of 2,000 meters, and view the volcanic belt on the seabed through the window. This is not a standard item included with the boat ticket.

, but a special offer for rich people. Because the cost of a dive is very high.

When he arrived at the ship's ladder, which was still a dozen steps away, Gu Jun saw that in addition to the captain and several other crew members, there were three young tourists, two men and one woman.

"Dear viewers, this is the legendary Longkan submarine volcanic belt!" One of the young men in his early twenties was holding a mobile phone and seemed to be doing a live broadcast. He was dressed in fancy clothes and had an exaggerated afro, which seemed to be

Reggae style.

Gu Jun heard him mysteriously introduce to the mobile phone: "The local indigenous tribe calls this place 'Hamkanaba', which means 'Devil's Abyss'..."

The other man was a few years older. He was a tall, muscular man with a pink vest on his upper body, revealing two thigh-like arms. He was asking the captain impatiently: "How long do we have to wait?"

The woman looked to be the youngest, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a tall figure and a beautiful face. She was wearing a fashionable jacket and shorts, all in military green. She had a pair of chopsticks and long legs that were very eye-catching, and she had a large tattoo on her left calf.

, I don’t know if it’s real or posted.

She was the first to notice Gu Jun's arrival, but her eyes were cold and arrogant, and she twirled a saber in her hand, as if to keep strangers away.

"It's like this. This dive was originally booked by another guest." The old captain was explaining awkwardly, and suddenly said happily: "Ah, Mr. Gu is here so quickly!"

The waitress left at the captain's signal, and Gu Jun continued to walk over while facing everyone's gaze.

The old captain began to introduce. The reggae man was called Li Lerui, the muscular man was called Wu Dong, and the woman in military uniform was named Lin Xiaotang. They were all the "most distinguished guests" of the cruise ship. The captain hinted with his eyes that they were powerful young men in the family, and they must not be offended.

That kind of.

The three people originally wanted to rent a speedboat and play in the nearby waters, but they saw the submersible here, so they also asked to participate in the deep dive. The submersible has a total of seven seats, three of which are occupied by two operators and a safety officer.

The remaining four tourist seats have been reserved by Gu Jun.

Since the submersible must undergo various safety inspections after each dive, according to the cruise ship's itinerary, there is only one dive opportunity this month. And these three uncles were so interested that the captain had to negotiate with Gu Jun and the four of them would share the dive equally.

Are the fees and seats for this dive good? It’s better to have fun alone than to have fun together.

"Okay." Gu Jun shrugged and said, since there is room, it doesn't matter.

"But..." Muscular man Wu Dong was still a little unhappy, and wanted to say something else with his eyes wide open.

And that reggae man Li Lerui has been busy live broadcasting by himself and did not participate.

Gu Jun looked at the girl in military uniform and suddenly felt a little confused. He felt like he had seen her somewhere... Was it on a cruise ship these days?

"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiaotang stared back unhappily when he looked at her like this, with a very fierce expression.

"Look at you." Gu Jun said.

He was so direct that Lin Xiaotang was a little choked, "You..."

"You can make your own choice. Anyway, I don't mind if we are all in the same boat." Gu Jun glanced at the three of them with a smile and took the lead to walk down the boat ladder. He didn't care about so many things. One good thing about dying soon is that he treats people and things now.

, he became much calmer.

"Hey kid, stop!" Wu Dong jumped to his feet and yelled, "Come back, come back!" But Gu Jun didn't stop.

And Li Lerui didn't know when he ran down the boat ladder to chase after him. He was still taking pictures with his cell phone in one hand, and put his other hand around Gu Jun's shoulder. He said with a familiar smile: "Old man, don't mind me."

, that guy Wu Dong is just a bastard, a rough guy. Look at my live broadcast room, every time Wu Dong appears on the scene, the audience will be crazy about 'Tiehanhan'."

"Tiehanhan." Lin Xiaotang walked past Wu Dong sulkily.

Wu Dong was really depressed, scratching his forehead, "It's obviously you who said you want to act in secret!"

Uh, aren't you doing a live broadcast? How are you doing things in secret? Gu Jun can't figure it out, are all the members Tiehanhan?

After procrastinating for a while, everyone finally put on protective equipment under the guidance of the operator, got into the submersible and sat down. There were four passenger seats in two rows, with Gu Jun sitting in seat 1, and Li Lerui in seat 2 on the right.

Behind us is Lin Xiaotang in position 3, and Wu Dong in position 4.

Soon, the submersible's hatch was closed, and it started to dive. The water turned from blue to black and enveloped them, 200 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters...

At this time, Gu Jun, who had been looking out the window, heard the three people discussing something in muttering.

"Arui, are you sure you are in this sea area?" Wu Dong asked.

"I really don't know how reliable this news is..." Lin Xiaotang's tone was full of doubt.
To be continued...
