After Han Lu locked the door, she deliberately stood behind the door for a while, sticking her eyes to the peephole, observing the situation in the corridor.
This time, however, there was no strange knocking on the door, and no one passed by her door.
After that, Han Lu walked to the window again to confirm whether the window was locked. She even read the English fire prevention instructions on the wall.
Although Yonaguni Island looked very quiet at night, Han Lu felt a sense of uneasiness lingering in her heart for some reason.
Nellie once said that the security on Yonaguni Island had always been very good. There were almost no criminal cases. That was because the island was only so big, and the people on the island knew each other. If a crime was committed, as long as the airport and the dock were set up, the criminals would not be able to escape.
Therefore, this island had always been the safest place in Japan.
Han Lu comforted herself with this. Although she found out that the garrison on the island was likely to be related to the monsters at the bottom of the sea, judging from the other party's reaction, they had not taken any drastic measures against her and Nellie for the time being. Whether it was taking away the SD card or using some unknown method to make the undersea tunnel disappear, they were just trying to cover up the truth from the perspective of eliminating physical evidence.
This was also the reason why Han Lu judged that she was safe for the time being. If the other party wanted to do something to her, they could have detained or killed her the first time she and Nellie came to the military base. Otherwise, there was no need for them to put on a show.
However, Han Lu was a little uneasy tonight.
In order to eliminate her anxiety, Han Lu even turned on the TV and randomly tuned to a channel that was broadcasting a variety show. Although she could not understand what the people on the TV were saying, she felt a little relaxed after turning up the volume a little.
The show deliberately set up some predicaments for some young couples. After that, the host and the celebrity guests observed how the young couples solved these predicaments. At the same time, they ridiculed the young couples, causing them to laugh. Similar shows had always enjoyed good ratings in Japan.
However, Han Lu actually did not like such shows very much. The reason why she tuned the TV station here was purely because of the lively scene on the other side of the screen. It was exactly what Han Lu, who was officially alone on Yonaguni Island, needed. She reluctantly watched for a while, but her mind was not on it. Instead of watching the show, it was more accurate to say that she was staring at the TV in a daze.
At around ten o 'clock, the front desk called her and told her that there might be a storm later in the night. They reminded her to close the doors and windows.
Han Lu thanked him. At around 10: 30 am, she took a simple shower, mainly to wash the salt off her skin and hair. She hadn't had time to clean up since she finished diving. Now that she was going to bed, she couldn't delay it any longer.
However, Han Lu's bathroom door was open, so she could hear any movement in the room.
At a quarter past eleven, Han Lu finally took a shower, dried her hair, and climbed into bed. After that, she hesitated and did not turn off the TV.
However, the previous variety show had ended, and now the program inside had become a TV series.
Han Lu was lying on the bed. She could hear the thunder outside. Soon, raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the window glass and making a pitter-patter sound.
Han Lu gradually felt a little sleepy as she listened to the sound of the rain and the TV series.
She had a terrible day. Whether it was underwater or on land, she was exhausted. After falling asleep, Han Lu even had a nightmare. She dreamed that Zhang Heng was eaten by those monsters underwater, and she couldn't even find his body.
Just when Han Lu didn't know how to explain to Zhang Heng's parents, she was awakened by a soft knock on the door.
Han Lu sat up in bed, not knowing if the sound came from reality or a dream.
But less than half a minute later, as if answering her question, there was a new knock on the door.
Han Lu got out of bed and walked barefoot to the door of the house without wearing slippers. She tried not to make any noise, leaned over the peephole, and looked outside.
But then, she felt a chill from the soles of her feet to her spine.
Just like the previous time, it was still dark outside the peephole, and she couldn't see anything. Needless to say, the guy who knocked on the door had glued the peephole shut again.
And this time, Han Lu felt malice. If it weren't for the heavy rain outside, she would have run away from the window.
Han Lu stepped back while looking around for something that she could use as a weapon. But what she didn't expect was that the guy outside the door opened her door!
After that, he used a knife to pry open the latch by the door.
Han Lu was so frightened by this sudden and horrifying scene that she almost screamed out loud. But then, the uninvited guest outside the door rushed over, covered her mouth, and pulled off the hood of his raincoat.
Under the hat was Zhang Heng, whom Han Lu thought was most likely going to die.
Han Lu couldn't believe her eyes!
Although she always had a glimmer of hope in her heart, thinking that there might still be a certain possibility, even if it was only a theoretical possibility that Zhang Heng was still alive, Han Lu knew how small the possibility was. It was almost on par with a miracle.
But now, the miracle had really happened in front of her.
Zhang Heng made a gesture to Han Lu to keep quiet. He then walked around the room and found a few coin-sized bugs. Zhang Heng threw the bugs into his room next door, closed the door, and dragged an unconscious man into Han Lu's room.
"Who is this?" Han Lu asked.
"The Self-Defense Forces. They are the ones who knocked on your door and glued the peephole," Zhang Heng replied.
"Huh?" Han Lu was shocked when she heard that. She didn't expect her analysis to be wrong. "The Self-Defense Forces? Aren't they trying to cover up the existence of those monsters? Why are they doing this to me?"
"Maybe that was the case before, but the situation has changed now. After I come out of the underwater palace, they will definitely want to control you and continue to negotiate with me," Zhang Heng said.
"How did you escape from the bottom of the sea?" Han Lu was puzzled. "After we returned to the ship, we still didn't see you. Nelly said that your gas cylinder was probably exhausted. We all thought you were dead."
"It's a long story." Zhang Heng blinked. "But before that, we'd better leave this island."
