    Because this time we were trying to avoid the typhoon, the two logistics staff who were originally staying at the base had to leave with us, so this time for breakfast, everyone in the entire base was present.

    I noticed that besides me, there were several people at the foundation who didn¡¯t seem to have slept well. The first one to bear the brunt was Mike. He looked sleepy and didn¡¯t seem to have slept well.

    The same was true for Jamie. He yawned after sitting down. It seemed that what Harris said last night really had a big impact on him.

    After Colonel White sat down, he first looked at the dark circles under my eyes, then glanced at Mike and the others, and said with a wry smile: "What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you to have a good rest? If your metabolism doesn't slow down,  Your body won¡¯t be able to bear it when you decompress for a while.¡±

    Mike snorted and ignored Colonel White, who was obviously not calmed down yet. Jamie forced a smile and said, "I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I took a look at some metals we collected on the spacecraft.  Material samples, but I didn¡¯t sleep all night.¡±

    As soon as Jamie finished speaking, the lights above our heads suddenly flashed a few times.

    And just when we raised our heads to see what was wrong with the lights, we heard a "sizzling" sound from the surroundings. Then, the lights above our heads were completely extinguished.  Suddenly it became dark.

    In the darkness, the first thing we heard was Jamie¡¯s piercing scream, and then everyone in the restaurant suddenly exclaimed, asking what the hell was going on?

    Fortunately, the chaos did not last long. After almost a few dozen seconds, the lights in the restaurant came on again.

    Colonel White first yelled a few words to silence the still frightened people, and then looked at the two logistics personnel.

    "Dean, Fiona, what happened just now?"

    The two people whose names were called were stunned for a while, and then they suddenly stood up from the dining table and ran out like crazy. Seeing this, Colonel White followed him out, but before leaving the restaurant, he didn't  He forgot to turn around and tell us: "You all wait here, I'll go see what's going on."

    However, it was obvious that Mike and the others, who had been frightened just now, had no intention of obeying the order.

    Not long after Colonel White ran out, they also stood up from the dining table and ran out. Soon, Mo Xi and I were the only two people left in the restaurant.

    I wanted to follow him, but Mo Xi held me back and asked me to sit down and eat in peace.

    I couldn't help but said: "Eat? Dr. Mo Xi, aren't you curious about what happened just now?"

    While eating the bread, Mo Xi replied to me without raising her head: "What are you curious about? If nothing else happens, the power outage just now was probably due to some accident at sea."

    "There was an accident at sea? Why do you say that? Is the power outage related to the sea?"

    I was a little skeptical about what Mo Xi said, but Mo Xi was too lazy to explain to me. He just told me that I would know when White and the others came back.

    As a result, I was eating breakfast while waiting for White and the others. After almost ten minutes, they returned to the restaurant from outside.

    It¡¯s just that when they came back, in addition to Mike and others who were already grim-faced, Colonel White¡¯s face turned out to be ugly.

    So I asked out of curiosity: "Colonel, what happened just now?"

    White sat back down, picked up the spoon in his hand, but did not move the bowl of cereal in front of him.

    Hearing my question, he raised his head slightly and said weakly: "Mr. Lin, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave here for the time being."

    I screamed something bad in my heart, and quickly asked him what was going on?

    "The power outage just now was because the base switched to a backup power supply. It was originally connected to the engineering ships on the sea through a cable more than a kilometer long, and they directly provided power to the base. But just now Dean and Feo  Na found out that the fleet at sea cut off our cable for some unknown reason."

    "What?" I stood up in surprise, "Then have you ever asked what the reason is?"

    "No, in fact we have lost contact with the fleet. The daily communication in this base is through the cable to the sea. Now that the cable is cut, we can only use radio equipment. But the sea water is  Radio has strong interference power. We just tried it and it didn¡¯t work at all.?There is a way to contact the sea.  "

    ¡°What about the submarine that came to pick us up?¡±

    White continued to start: "They don't have any news. In fact, the submarine should have been here ten minutes ago. But we never received any signal from the submarine."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    I sat back down and said in disbelief: "How could this happen? Wasn't everything fine yesterday?"

    At this time, Mo Xi next to me suddenly said: "Is it because of the typhoon? While we were sleeping, the typhoon air mass on the sea may have undergone some drastic changes. It is very likely that the typhoon appeared earlier.  What happened to the fleet on the sea?"

    White sighed and said: "Dr. Mo Xi, your guess is the same as the result of our discussion. We all think that there may be some change in the typhoon at sea that forced the fleet to abandon us first."

    While White was explaining, Mo Xi also took the last bite of breakfast. She wiped her lips and said, "Then we are going to stay in this base for a while?"

    "Yes, we can only wait here for news before contact is restored with us at sea. But don't worry, there is plenty of food and fresh water in the base, and the oxygen generator is working well, which is enough for us to survive the typhoon on the sea surface.  Back off.¡±

    "I believe this. If that's the case, then it's okay. I've already eaten and will leave first. Since I'm going to stay here for a few more days, I'll go put my luggage back first."

    White said: "Okay, then go ahead. If anything happens, I will ask Mr. Lin to inform you."

    Hearing this, Mo Xi stood up and left the restaurant.

    After she left, others began to eat the interrupted breakfast quietly.

    But compared to last night, the atmosphere of this breakfast was eerily silent. Everyone was eating their own bowls, and there was no sound except for the clinking of knives and forks in the restaurant.

    After a period of silence, Mike, who was probably the happiest during this stay, was the first to speak. He said: "Everyone, I suddenly had an idea. Do you think our current situation looks like this?  The plot in some monster movies? Usually in those kind of movies, the protagonists are forced into an isolated environment, and then the next thing that will appear is the monster that attacks the protagonists."

    Mike probably said this just to lighten the atmosphere at the table, but someone at the table clearly didn't appreciate it.

    Jamie put down his knife and fork with a bang and shouted to Mike: "For God's sake, can't you just be quiet?"

    Before Mike could answer, Harris across from him spoke for him: "Hey! Jamie, don't be nervous, Mike is obviously joking. We are at the bottom of the sea a thousand feet deep, what kind of monsters can there be?  ?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not necessarily true, maybe there are sharks?¡± Mike seemed to be dissatisfied with Jamie¡¯s words yesterday, so he deliberately mentioned the sharks that Jamie was afraid of.

    Sure enough, after hearing the word "shark", Jamie's face suddenly stiffened, but Mike's face showed a gloating smile. Not only that, he even laughed out loud.

    Just before Jamie's anger broke out, Colonel White slapped the table and said: "That's enough! Mike, you don't need to say such things anymore, Jamie is our teammate no matter what, you don't need to scare him like this!"  Jamie, you don¡¯t have to worry. After eating, I will ask Harris to go to the sea. He is not afraid of water pressure and can leave here even without the support of the sea fleet. As long as Harris is here, we and the sea will be safe.  We can¡¯t break the connection.¡± (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
