Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Feeling that 073 had arrived, An Xiaohai completely relaxed, and an irresistible drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed him, so he fell into a deep sleep.

In a hazy state, he felt a bright light shining on him, which was probably the shadowless lamp shining on his head. An Xiaohai ignored it and continued to sleep. In his drowsy state, he felt people coming and going in the room, but An Xiaohai ignored it and continued to sleep.

I finally woke up, but then another wave of sleepiness washed over me, so I went back to sleep.

It seemed like a lot had happened, yet it also seemed like it all happened in an instant. Many times, An Xiaohai couldn't tell whether these things were happening around him or in his dream; it was a mix of reality and illusion.

An Xiaohai only opened his eyes when he felt a pair of rough but gentle hands touching his forehead.

"Finally awake! You can really sleep!" 073 smiled with relief by the hospital bedside.

An Xiaohai smiled slightly, and 073 got up and helped him sit up.

"Did he run away?"

"Yes, he escaped. Someone was there to meet him. They tore a hole in our encirclement."

A deputy director of the Haizhou Public Security Bureau was killed in action, and the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team and a police officer went missing. These two are believed to be his men; some members of the public saw the deceased deputy director, suggesting they were the ones who assassinated him.

"What a pity."

"It's a little regrettable, but we can't say we gained nothing. We got his images and collected his blood, which is a big breakthrough. He can't escape."

"But he still managed to get away this time... Did I hurt him?"

"Yes, he was injured, but it shouldn't be serious; there wasn't much blood left at the scene."

"What a blunder! I shouldn't have kept shooting at his head. I should have shot at his body first; that way, I might have been able to take him down..."

I can't believe it hurts so much to be shot while wearing a bulletproof vest!

"It hurts quite a bit. His gun had a large caliber, and you have two broken ribs."

An Xiaohai wanted to say something more, but Mai Xiaoyu brought a pot of porridge into the ward. She served everyone a bowl, and the three of them sat down in the ward to eat.

Perhaps because he hadn't eaten for too long, An Xiaohai took a bite of porridge and suddenly felt an extreme hunger. He ate three large bowls of porridge before the hunger was relieved.

"Hey, Xiaohai, how are you feeling? I've had a few questions on my mind for days, can you tell me about them?" Mai Xiaoyu said, wiping her mouth after finishing a bowl of porridge.

"I'm in good spirits. What's wrong? Go ahead and ask."

"Why did you come up with such a plan? Why were you so sure Ahn Cheol-ho would come to you in person? Why didn't you give us time to prepare? How did you know the bomb at the train station was fake? And how did you know pressing that red button would defuse the bomb?"

"Sister Xiaoyu, these are five questions..." An Xiaohai said with a wry smile.

"You seem to be in good spirits, so tell me everything."

"Yeah, tell us, we'd love to know too!" 027's voice rang out from the ward door, followed by 082 and 155.

"Why are you here?" An Xiaohai looked at 027. In the short time he hadn't seen her, she seemed to have aged a lot, but her eyes were still as bright as ever.

"Can't I come? You child!" 027 glared at An Xiaohai reproachfully and said, "I know, you must have found out some new information again. You've been sleeping these past few days, you must be exhausted."

I figured you were pretty much asleep by now, so I came over.

"Thank you for your concern. Actually, these are just some guesses and cannot be confirmed. I was afraid of influencing your judgment, so I haven't said anything."

"Go ahead and tell me. I came here today specifically to hear what you have to say. I've had 061 and 065 keep an eye on the Xiaoguanwan Nuclear Power Plant."

Tell me in detail what you're really thinking right now. Don't worry about affecting us; just say what you think, even if you're wrong or say something absurd, it doesn't matter.

"Okay!" An Xiaohai nodded and organized his thoughts: "It's quite complicated. It all started when I came back from Y country."

We fought two tough battles in the waters of Country Y, destroying two of their islands and killing many of their people. We were also slightly injured and stayed on a small island for a while.

During that time, I kept thinking, is killing people really effective?

I killed many of them, but it did nothing to alleviate the pain in my heart, not even a little bit!

Whenever I close my eyes, I see the look in Xuan'er's father's eyes, I remember the expression on Xiao Hei's face when he told me about their encounter in the waters of Y country, and the way he knelt on the deck praying for the wind to come.

Why? Why is this happening? ... I keep asking myself: Why can't I ease the hatred in my heart even after killing so many people?

I found a reason at the time: the Flying Bird Gang had not been completely wiped out, and the Y Country government, which was protecting them and aiding and abetting their evil deeds, had not been destroyed!

As long as they are still alive, the pain and hatred in my heart will likely never disappear.

If that's how I feel, then what about him? What about Ahn Cheol-ho? If his plan to build the Xiaoguanwan nuclear power plant had succeeded, killing many people, would the hatred in his heart have disappeared?

At this point in An Xiaohai's speech, 027 and 073 couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"No! I don't think he'll be satisfied!"

The hatred in his heart will not disappear. I think that in his view, as long as the entity that caused him harm does not disappear, his hatred will not disappear, and he will not be satisfied!

An Xiaohai took a deep breath: "At the beginning, when I was still in the First Prison of Shenhai City, I thought he was a cold-blooded, ruthless, and extremely selfish person."

To achieve his goals, he is willing to abandon his parents, lovers, and even his own flesh and blood without hesitation.

Later, as I got to know him better, I realized I was wrong, and my opinion of him changed. At that time, I thought he was a madman, a completely irrational madman who hated everything.

Based on this judgment, I realized that his purpose in staying at Apo Cape was likely related to the Xiaoguanwan Nuclear Power Plant.

But now, as I return from country Y, as my understanding of him deepens, and as I gain a broader perspective and a more comprehensive view of him, my opinion of him has changed once again.

He's not crazy!

He is a monster with clear goals, extremely high intelligence, the ability to endure, and who has abandoned normal human emotions, taking every step with utmost care!

An Zhehao is a member of the Abyss Organization, whose members proclaim themselves gods. What is a god? Does killing more people make you a god?

No, God's purpose is not to kill, but to control. Only those who can control all things are gods. Having the ability to kill is only one aspect of God, but it is by no means their goal.

Moreover, killing any number of people would not bring An Zhehao any pleasure, because he had never taken mortals seriously in the first place!

In Ahn Cheol-ho's view, we mortals are like ants; he wouldn't feel heartache no matter how many of us die. Of course, conversely, it's also difficult for us to bring him much joy or satisfaction.

If that's the case, then it's somewhat hard to understand why he spent so much time and energy on the Xiaoguanwan Nuclear Power Plant.

So, I tried to put myself in his shoes, to see things from his perspective, and to analyze everything he had done. Suddenly, I realized I had arrived at a completely different viewpoint and conclusion.

"What's your opinion?!" Mai Xiaoyu finally couldn't help but interrupt. Her eyes were wide open, and An Xiaohai suddenly realized that she actually looked somewhat similar to Xia Qing at this moment.

"What's your opinion..." An Xiaohai smiled slightly, his smile revealing endless coldness: "The Xiaoguanwan Nuclear Power Plant is not his ultimate goal, but just a part of his plan!"

First, we need to figure out: who exactly is he targeting? Who does he consider his greatest enemy?

"I understand!" 073 frowned. "Whoever inflicts the greatest harm on him is his greatest enemy. Harming a few mortals is meaningless; his ultimate goal is to completely overthrow and eliminate his enemies!"

"Yes!" An Xiaohai nodded heavily: "Then, based on his true purpose, if we look at all his arrangements again, we can see them more clearly."

First, there's the Flying Bird Gang and the Sea Buddha Organization.

An Zhehao has many ways to make money, after all, he has the Abyss Organization behind him.

Moreover, over the years, the Piggy Dragons have operated very well, accumulating enormous wealth for them. The wealth they have amassed through this means is in no way inferior to drug trafficking, and is even far greater and more concealed.

Why didn't he use this method to amass wealth, but instead chose to painstakingly build two powerful drug trafficking organizations that could control an entire province?

There is only one reason: of all ways to make money, drug trafficking is the most destructive to society.

He knew this all too well, and all Chinese people knew it too well. We Chinese people have been poisoned by drugs far too deeply, to the point of excruciating pain!

On the one hand, Ahn Cheol-ho was selling heroin on a large scale, and on the other hand, he was secretly collecting raw materials and spending several years producing a huge amount of methamphetamine. Was it just for making money?

No, what he really wants is for drugs to spread rampantly in the two provinces of Haidong and Haixi until they get out of control and the people suffer! He wants the people of these two provinces to hate our government because of this.

At the same time, people like Zhu Polong, Hu Haikong, and Xu Chonghua will continue to sabotage the economic structure of the two provinces in secret, exacerbating the suffering of the people.

When this hatred accumulates to a certain point, and then another accident occurs at the Xiaoguanwan Nuclear Power Plant, the truly unimaginable consequences will follow!

An Xiaohai gritted his teeth and took a deep breath; the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Just imagine what will happen then!"

What would the government do if a nuclear leak suddenly occurred at the Xiaoguanwan Nuclear Power Plant?

I think it will most likely be like Chernobyl back then, on the one hand, drawing on the most capable personnel from Haidong Province, or even neighboring provinces, to come for disaster relief; on the other hand, starting to evacuate the people of Shenhai City.

At that time, Haidong Province will be in chaos.

At this critical moment, criminal organizations that had been lying in wait in Haidong and Haixi provinces suddenly emerged and began to openly burn, kill, and loot; Zhu Polong, Xu Chonghua and others took the opportunity to spread rumors, disturb the public's mind, and completely disrupt the entire situation!

What's more, they've planted so many spies within our police system; these people will secretly condone and fuel the chaos, making it escalate even further!

"No way, they won't succeed. We still have the armed police and the army!" Mai Xiaoyu said, her face full of horror.

"Yes, we also have armed police and the army."

But can you be sure that the People's Armed Police and the military won't run into problems by then? Senior 027, are you sure there won't be any problems?

027's pupils contracted sharply, and he stood up abruptly.
