Chapter 2647: Returning home with a sense of duty

Following the Lord's order, the Po Qing Hui entered a period of dormancy like never before.

The Five Military Governor's Offices immediately entered a state of full dormancy. Except for the copper refinery in Turkey, all dead soldiers and Cavalry Guards were forbidden from stepping out of their stations, and all members lurking around the world temporarily terminated contact with their superiors.

From this moment on, the Po Qing Hui only had three Earls left executing tasks for the Lord. Chang Sheng Bo was in China, searching for Lin Wan'er's whereabouts while preparing to set off for Jin Ling to investigate clues about Ye Chen; Zhong Yong Bo was searching for clues about AK-630 CIWS transactions on the global arms black market; as for Ding Yuan Bo, Yun Ruge, she was filling in the gaps for Chang Sheng Bo in the Far East region, searching for Lin Wan'er.

The day after Jian Gong Bo, Ou Bojun, was shot and killed, all members of the Turkish copper refinery left Turkey by ship.

The special envoy Duan Liye, who had been psychologically suggested by Ye Chen using Qi, also boarded the evacuating freighter with the others.

The group didn't know where they were going at this time. They only knew that something had happened in Cyprus, and the Lord demanded they evacuate to South Africa immediately.

The incident happened suddenly, and a temporary retreat was reasonable, so the group didn't harbor any suspicions.

The journey to South Africa was long, crossing the Mediterranean Sea, then passing through the Suez Canal, they still had to cross the long and narrow Red Sea, and then head south along the eastern part of Africa, a total journey of nearly ten thousand kilometers.

Fortunately, before departure, this ship had already prepared supplies intended for the Cyprus copper mine, enough for the hundreds of people in the copper refinery to eat and drink on the sea, so everyone didn't worry too much about the future, just hoping to land in Africa soon and start a new life.

But what they didn't know was that the Lord had no intention of letting them step onto land again.

According to the Lord's requirements, this ship, and everyone on it, were to sleep eternally in the depths of the Mediterranean.

One day after the freighter set sail.

When the ship was sailing in the middle of the night, two hundred kilometers away from Port Said at the northern entrance of the Suez Canal, the engine suddenly stopped. The ship quickly lost power and floated on the sea surface.

Several welders were currently using electric welding equipment, using steel bars as thick as a thumb to seal all the ship's windows and cabin doors.

All movable objects on the deck had already been moved into the cabin, and these welders were also welding from inside the doors and windows, which meant that after the welding was completed, they themselves couldn't get out either.

These people welded very quickly. After welding all the doors and windows shut, they quickly returned to the cabin and welded all the cabin doors shut from the outside.

Afterwards, they came to the cargo hold at the bottom, covered all the goods with steel wire mesh, and then welded the steel wire mesh tightly to the bottom of the cabin floor.

After doing all this, several people came to a middle-aged man and said respectfully: "Reporting to the Deputy Governor, all entrances and exits have been sealed, and the goods have been secured."

The middle-aged man called Deputy Governor was the person in charge of the line between Turkey and Cyprus, and one of the three Deputy Governors of the Right Military Governor's Office, Zhang Qianshuo.

At this time, Zhang Qianshuo nodded with a face full of grief and indignation, murmuring: "Everyone, today we sacrifice our lives for righteousness, not just to be loyal to the Lord, but also so that our wives and children can live better. So I hope everyone won't be too sad."

The leader smiled miserably: "Sir, our lives have long been out of our control. If the Lord lets us live, we live; if the Lord lets us die, we die..."

As he spoke, he asked: "Sir, the only question I have is, after we die, will the Lord really give our wives and children freedom?"

Zhang Qianshuo nodded: "Rest assured, even if the Lord doesn't take us seriously, she must put her credibility first. Otherwise, who would be willing to die for her in the future?"

Hearing this, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

They had long received the Lord's order and knew that everyone on this ship was doomed to die.

Even more cruel was that the final task of these few people was to personally destroy this ship and everyone on it.

And the condition the Lord gave them to die generously was that after they died, she would give their families freedom.

For these people, without the antidote, they would die sooner or later. Rather than that, it was better to die simply, which could leave a chance for their families.

Actually, these people were different from the Cavalry Guards, and also different from the dead soldiers; they were Zhang Qianshuo's confidants. When Zhang Qianshuo brought them here to take office, their families didn't follow and couldn't follow.

From the moment they took office, they shouldered the attribute of self-destruction. Once this place needed to be destroyed, they were the executors of the self-destruction.

And the reason the Lord arranged it this way was to prevent any accidents. Once a station had a major problem, they could complete the self-destruction in the shortest possible time and cut off all risks.

Their families were the key to making them die generously.

Zhang Qianshuo checked the time and said: "It's about time. Prepare to sink the ship."

The leader nodded and, with his subordinates, placed directional explosives in the bottom cabins at the bow and stern of the ship.

After doing all this, the group returned to Zhang Qianshuo and handed the detonator to him, saying respectfully: "Sir, we can detonate at any time."

Zhang Qianshuo took the detonator and asked: "All exits are sealed, right? We must ensure that after the ship sinks, nothing can float to the sea surface. Otherwise, once discovered by other ships, they will realize a ship has sunk."

The man bowed and said: "Sir, rest assured, all cabins are sealed, all doors and windows are sealed, and the goods in the cargo hold are all secured with very dense iron mesh. Once detonated, seawater will rush in instantly, the ship will sink quickly, and no items will float to the sea surface. As for the debris produced by the explosion, because they are all iron, they will quickly sink to the bottom and won't float to the sea surface, so you can rest assured."

Zhang Qianshuo nodded and said: "Now only we few are left to be secured. Come with me to the captain's room."

"Obey!"

The group followed Zhang Qianshuo to the captain's room. Zhang Qianshuo locked the heavy cabin door tightly, then took out a bottle of strong liquor, poured a few cups, handed them to the people in front of him, and then said: "Everyone, we have worked together for many years. It is fate that we can die together today. Let this cup be our farewell!"

The group was also ready to die at this time, nodded heavily, and took the wine glasses.

Zhang Qianshuo clinked glasses with the group, drank the strong liquor in the cup, and then picked up the detonator and pressed it without hesitation.

Two muffled sounds suddenly came from the bottom cargo hold of the ship, and two large holes about a meter in diameter were blown open at the bow and stern.

A large amount of seawater rushed into the cabin, and the freighter immediately began to sink at a very fast speed.

However, there was no one on the ship rushing to escape.

Because everyone else on the ship, except for them, was currently sleeping soundly in various cabins. Zhang Qianshuo had specifically had people add special agents to their meals, making them all fall into a deep sleep.

Now, everyone was sealed in their respective cabins.

The frantically rushing seawater didn't wake these people up; they died of suffocation one after another in their sleep.

Soon, seawater began to rush into the captain's room. Zhang Qianshuo was ready to die, sat on the floor with the others, until the seawater filled the entire cabin.

Twenty minutes later, the eight-thousand-ton freighter completely sank into the seawater.

Due to the preparatory work done in advance, after the freighter entered the sea, apart from causing a whirlpool on the sea surface, it left no other traces. The entire ship was like a huge cage, sinking into the seabed without looking back... ===== CHAPTER 2648 =====
