"It's controllable, so we can indeed treat it as a 'movable island'." Howard pondered and began to trek into the forest of the island.
The purpose of him and Kyle going out to sea today was to conduct a preliminary survey of the island and then start planning and designing the base.
The wide area on the back of the dragon turtle contains mountains, forests, lakes, and streams. If Howard had not known the true appearance of the underlying area, he would undoubtedly have mistaken it for a normal island.
Kyle and Howard wandered around the island and finally reached the top of the island's mountain range. Looking down, they could clearly see the entire back of the island's appearance.
"This is the base, so you can make it as big as you want." Howard sighed and expressed his inner worries, "But its existence may be too conspicuous. Maybe satellites or ships will see it in the future."
"I've thought of that, too. Don't worry, I'll take care of it once the base is ready," Kyle replied.
Did he know that Wakanda possessed the technological know-how of a hidden country, a city of the future
When it comes to the creation of new elements, while leaping beyond the limitations of current technology, one cannot avoid that barbaric yet advanced place.
Chapter 120: A Showdown Across the Century
The super-large ancient dragon turtle stayed in the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean and fell into a long hibernation, completely transforming into an island.
Kyle and Howard, who had measured and drawn the preliminary design of the base, returned to their New York estate by helicopter just as night fell.
When the helicopter landed in the open space in front of the manor, Kyle walked out of the cabin. Coincidentally, a military jeep was coming from the forest road. The two light beams in front of the car shone brightly on him.
Who would come to visit at this late hour
Under Kyle's surprised gaze, the jeep stopped in the open space next to the helicopter, and a one-eyed, dark-skinned, bald young man who was almost invisible at night got out first.
He was wearing a windbreaker and looked dusty, and his smile revealed a row of clean white teeth.
"Fury." Kyle shook his head and laughed. It turned out to be this guy. After Fury's persistent pestering of Howard these days, he finally got the location of the manor where he was living in seclusion.
"Kyle, I haven't seen you for a few days..." Fury walked over here with a smile, but soon he gritted his teeth and turned stern. He changed the subject and said indignantly, "You feel relieved after retiring. Do you know how much trouble I have to take on for you?"
"Those who are capable should do more work. This is a stage for you to showcase your talents." Kyle blinked and patted Fury's shoulder soothingly.
"Don't give me that. Anyway, you must give me extra salary this time." Fury glared at Kyle.
Kyle didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded in agreement: "No problem, I'll give you double your salary, plus you'll be recognized as an outstanding employee."
"Look who I brought here." Fury smiled and moved his body away. A middle-aged, sturdy and strong officer stepped forward to the jeep parked behind him.
"Joseph." Kyle smiled, hugged the big man, and patted the other's back with a little force.
Joseph and Fury were both friends who had given him great help during World War II, and they were also military personnel with whom he still kept in touch.
"Fury and I resigned, but you got promoted," Kyle said jokingly.
Joseph, who was a major, shrugged and said with a wry smile, "This is all because of your reputation as a 'symbol of peace'. You may not know that General Chester resigned from his position as a five-star general, but before that, he promoted the ranks of all the officers who had fought with you."
"He said that if you are willing to come back, he will apply for the position of five-star general for you!" Joseph said this and looked at Kyle seriously.
"Forget it. I can't even handle the duties of a major general, let alone a five-star general. I'll have to trouble Fury when the time comes."
Kyle calmly refused, not at all obsessed with the so-called five-star admiral position.
Fury nodded in agreement and smiled at Joseph, "I told you, Kyle will not agree to return to the military."
"Anyway, I'm just delivering a message and I have no intention of pleading for Admiral Chester." Joseph said bluntly.
"You've all come all the way here, why don't you come in and sit down?" Kyle suggested, looking at Howard, Fury, and Joseph respectively. Tonight it was all old acquaintances gathered together.
The three guests nodded in agreement, and Kyle, as the host, led them into the main entrance of the manor building.
"Master." The two maids in the hall on the first floor saw Kyle return and hurriedly bowed their heads to greet him. One of the girls approached with a hurried look on her face and announced, "Wolf King and Chi Tong are competing in the backyard."
"Oh, a fight has started?" Kyle was surprised when he heard it, and the venom on his body that had turned into leather clothes also became restless and excited.
'Wolf King', 'Red Eyes'.
These are the family code names of Logan and Yutong respectively. They are usually addressed like this when there are outsiders around.
"Let's go and take a look." Kyle waved his hand and led the three of them to the backyard of the manor.
Luo Gen is warlike by nature, and Yu Tong is stingy and arrogant. He could foresee that these two would fight sooner or later, but he never thought it would happen so soon.
"Only after fighting can we trust each other's backs." Kyle said to himself, thinking back to the battle with Steve at the base.
That was his long-gone youth...
In the backyard of the manor, on the open lawn.
Under the illumination of the retro lamp posts all around, Lucy and thirty or forty other children sat scattered on the grass, forming a circle. This was the 'competition venue' that the manor family had been paying attention to.
Inside the circle, a weathered middle-aged man in leather jacket and jeans was facing off against a cute girl in a hood and holding a sword.
Judging from their ages, this was undoubtedly a "cross-century" duel between an old man in his sixties and a baby in his fifties.
"I'm going to take action." Logan gave a verbal warning, crossing his hands in front of his chest, with three white bone claws extending from the ends of his fists.
This scene made the children nearby scream out in surprise.
Just as Logan was about to attack, Yutong suddenly stopped him in a soft voice, "Wait a minute!"
"Huh?" Logan was puzzled. He looked up and saw Yutong's calves moving backwards and taking several steps back.
"The boss said, you are a warrior and I am a mage, so when we compete and fight, we need to keep a certain distance between us." Yu Tong said, and stopped only when she was ten meters away from Logan.
Yutong imitated Kyle's usual movements and waved her little hand lightly. Murasame, who was half a head taller than her and was carried diagonally behind her, broke away from the leather scabbard under her mind control and floated above her head, flashing a cold light.
"Sodium carbon steel." Logan looked at Murasame with a little fear. Through Kyle's daily popularization of knowledge, he knew that cold weapons made of this material were specifically designed to suppress one's own self-healing factor.
However, no matter how fearful he was, as a man with rich combat experience, there was no reason for him to give up the initiative in the battle!
Logan growled, raised the sharp claws on both hands, and rushed forward with a kick backwards. His means of attack was undoubtedly the strong and inhuman beast body and a pair of bone claws as sharp as knives.
As Logan accelerated and approached, Yutong stared intently, and cast her superhuman power on Murasame floating above her head, who immediately flew across the night sky at high speed with a whoosh.
"Ding-ding—"
Murasame forced Logan to stop, and his continuous slashing attacks collided with his claws, making a series of crisp sounds.
From a third-person perspective, this is an extremely strange and supernatural scene - Logan with wolf-like claws is entangled with a Risan knife that moves out of thin air.
"What a trouble." Logan was a little annoyed. He looked at Murasame who was knocked away by him and then entangled with him. He glanced at Yutong who was five meters ahead.
At this moment, he suddenly understood what Kayle meant by the distinction between warrior and mage.
