Of course, these facilities will not be oil drilling platforms - the Ark Foundation probably does not need and cannot earn "resistance funds" by exploiting oil, but Li Yao is not sure what use they are for for a while, only seeing dozens of similar ones The facilities surround the entire Ark Island, and most of the facilities seem to be unfinished. Scaffolding is built around it, and many workers are working on it with enthusiasm. The sparks of electric welding are shining everywhere, and the sound of steel knocking is one after another.
Li Yao squinted his eyes and took a closer look. He found that most of the workers had strange appearances—if they weren't born with wings, they were thick-backed, some parts of their limbs were deformed and swollen, and their fists the size of casserole pots could be used directly as hammers without any help. External forces, suspended in the void, presumably are awakened ones.
Ms. Gray Mist confirmed Li Yao's guess. She told Li Yao that more than 10,000 awakened people gathered on the entire Ark Island, which seemed like a world with superpowers. Yes, and the law of gravity in the "space fold" is slightly different from the outside world, and the red pole star controls the entire sea area near the island, so the workers can temporarily escape the shackles of gravity and improve the efficiency of operations.
However, Ms. Gray Mist doesn't know what exactly they are creating. This is a secret that only Red Pole Star can grasp, and it is said to be the decisive weapon in the ultimate war.
The Lucky Star slowly approached the pier, and after a rigorous search and test again, it took a full half a day before Li Yao and Zhang Daniu were allowed to go to the Red Pole Star's command room.
It was a group of semi-underground buildings similar to fortresses. The arc-shaped roofs of the buildings were like skulls scattered on the ground, exuding a gray luster. Ms. Gray Mist told Li Yao that the roofs of these buildings were covered with A thick layer of lead shell is poured, mainly to prevent the brainwaves of Red Pole Star from spilling out and being sensed by the Apocalypse Organization and the will of the earth.
This degree of caution is the reason why the Red Pole Star and the will of the earth have gone through more than ten reincarnations without being locked and eliminated.
The underground passage leading to the command room was blocked by a thick copper wall and iron wall like the gate of a vault. Standing in front of the gate, Li Yao felt at least seven or eight rays of different nature passing through his body. There was a dull mechanical sound, and a gap was slowly opened.
Ms. Gray Mist signaled Li Yao and Zhang Daniu to go in alone. She could only follow here. After the two squeezed in with some difficulty, the door was immediately closed, leaving them in the darkness.
For a moment, Li Yao felt a little tense, thinking that everything is a hoax, the so-called "Ark" and "Apocalypse" are the same thing, they are all traps set by the will of the earth, just to catch them all
However, a series of arrows soon lit up on the ground in front of them, guiding them to twist and turn, go deeper and deeper, and finally came to a relatively open underground space.
This space was shrouded in a mist of light, and the strong light stimulated Li Yao's pupils, which made him a little bit unable to open his eyes when he was groping in the darkness. A screen that surrounds all four walls and the ceiling.
Large and small screens display the disaster situation around the world at this moment, as well as various intricate numbers and reports. The astronomical information flow is surging with the light and fog. A lot of information is directly floating in midair, giving people a feeling There is a feeling that this place is at least decades ahead of its time.
Except for the screen, the huge room was empty, except for an ergonomic computer chair with its back facing the two of them. They couldn't see the person sitting on the chair clearly, they only saw him wearing a very funny helmet, as if It is also made of lead blocks.
"Chi Liu Chi Liu, Chi Liu Chi Liu."
At this time, there was a strange sound from the front of the computer chair, followed by "click, click, click", which became more and more strange.
"That's the leader of the Ark Foundation, the most dangerous jailbreaker 'Red Pole Star' since the past ten reincarnations?"
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu looked at each other, and they both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
Hearing the footsteps of the two, the sounds of "chiliu" and "click" stopped abruptly, and the computer chair slowly turned around.
Li Yao and Zhang Daniu held their breath, and fixed their eyes on the prison breaker leader in front of them.
However, Hongjixing's appearance and shape surprised the two of them.
This gentleman looks like an oriental man, with a baby face that makes people unable to guess his age, and his facial features are fairly correct, but there is a lingering thief smell in his eyebrows and eyes, which is the most eye-catching What stood out was the star-shaped birthmark on his left eye. Li Yao had never seen a birthmark with such clear edges, such a regular shape, and such a bright red color. It really looked like a red star, branded on his face.
Come to think of it, the nickname "Red Pole Star" came from this birthmark, right
His face gave Li Yao an unusually familiar and strange feeling. The same feeling had appeared when he met "Mr. Zhang Jiashu" a few days ago, but now the feeling is a hundred times stronger than that time.
However, what surprised Li Yao the most was not his appearance, but his shape—the upper body was a T-shirt with coconut trees, sandy beaches, and blue sky and white clouds printed on it, and the lower body was loose and comfortable beach pants made of cotton and linen. A pair of cheap flip-flops, a glass of tropical fruit juice that is almost finished in the left hand, and a pack of cucumber-flavored potato chips in the right.
Seeing this, Li Yao realized that just now, the sound of "chiliuchiliu" was the sound of him drinking fruit juice with a straw, and the sound of "clicking, clicking" was the sound of him eating potato chips!
"No way?"
Li Yao asked himself in his heart, "The leader of the resistance organization who has persisted in fighting for countless reincarnations, is this virtue? Is there something wrong!"
However, deep in his heart, there was a faint impulse. He suddenly wanted to drink fruit juice and eat potato chips!
At the same time, Zhang Daniu let out a "huh".
Li Yao woke up and immediately understood what Zhang Daniu meant. No wonder he looked so familiar with the other person's body shape. Isn't this the "Star Thief King" Boss Bai's appearance in "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation"!
No, this flowery T-shirt, beach pants, flip flops, and tropical fruit juice dress are indeed the classic look of Boss Bai in the early stage. With the idea of "as it is", I shamelessly copied this body shape in the later stage!
And now, this look appeared on Hong Jixing's body again, and he was dressed so... just right, completely matching his temperament, as if he was a character who walked out of it.
So, who is he, and who is he
Li Yao was completely confused.
Li Yao, Hongjixing, Zhang Daniu, and the three stared at each other for a long time. The more they looked at each other, the more they felt familiar, the more they felt awkward, and the more they looked, the more indescribably strange they became.
In the end, it was Hongjixing who broke the silence.
"Do you want some juice?"
The leader of the Ark Foundation asked with a smile.
His voice was a bit hoarse, and it sounded completely different from Li Yao and Zhang Daniu, but for some reason, Li Yao felt very familiar - as if he heard his own voice from a tape recorder.
The matter has come to this point, no matter how strange things seem to be, there is no need to be shocked. Li Yao and Zhang Daniu looked at each other and nodded.
Behind a few screens in the corner, there is actually a small refrigerator hidden. Red Pole Star took out three cans of iced tropical mixed fruit juice, threw two cans over, and unscrewed another can, Meimei took a sip, and said A pleasant exclamation: "I've been bored on this island all day, and I can't go anywhere, so there's only so much left to enjoy. Try it, it tastes good."
Li Yao took a deep breath, unscrewed the bottle cap, and downed half the bottle in one breath.
How should I put it, the sour, sweet, icy cold feeling has opened up his entire neural network, he seems to have... haven't tasted such a taste in hundreds of years!
"Yes, not bad, right?"
Hong Jixing looked at them with a smile, spread his hands and said, "How about it, if you want to ask something, let's hurry up, I promise to tell you everything, and I will say everything."
"you… "
Li Yao glanced at Zhang Daniu, and asked Hong Jixing, "Who is it? Why do we have never met before, but I feel that you are very familiar, so familiar that we are twin brothers, and even I am taking care of you." Like a mirror, our looks and voices are so different, this, this is so weird!"
"good question."
Hong Jixing tilted his head and thought for a while, the expression between his eyebrows and eyes was exactly the same as that of Li Yao, "If I say that my name is also 'Li Yao', what do you think?"
"This-"
Li Yao became more and more confused.
"The name is just a code name. There are many people with the same name and surname in the world. There are not tens of thousands of people named 'Li Yao' out of the six billion people, but there are thousands, right?"
Hong Jixing continued, "In order to distinguish you from me, you should continue to call me 'Hong Jixing', not to mention that even if you really call me 'Li Yao', it doesn't mean anything. There is some kind of mysterious connection in Ten Thousand Years, even the main character 'Cultivation Li Yao' traveled to the earth, congratulations, your guess is very close to the truth, but still can't say you are '100%' Cultivation Li Yao', not even '50% Cultivation Li Yao'."
"50% cultivation Li Yao?"
Li Yao became more and more confused, "Yes, yes, no, no, what does the percentage mean?"
"It's very simple. You have met Teacher Zhang Jiashu and took something from his soul, right?"
Red Pole Star smiled, "Mr. Zhang Jiashu obviously has some characteristics of 'Cultivation Li Yao'. Although he is unwilling to admit it and try his best to resist, you and I know very well that some of the 'Cultivation Li Yao''s soul fragments are embedded in him. In the depths of your brain, what percentage do you think Teacher Zhang Jiashu counts as 'Cultivation Li Yao'?"
