Chapter 232 Setting Sail (Part 2)
January 13, 2278
It was just 5 o'clock when Le Xiao got up from the bed. Her sleepiness soon disappeared. She got up quickly and sorted everything out. Jamie was still sleeping soundly, but there was something important this morning. Gene and his team were going to set sail officially.
Le Xiao had been a little uneasy for several days. She never thought that this day would come so soon. It was impossible for Gene to come back in a short time.
Le Xiao looked at the window in a trance. Gene was still there last night, but Gene left after drinking a lot of wine together last night. Le Xiao said that she must go to Section 10 to see them off this morning.
Seeing that it was already 5:20, Le Xiao went out directly. She had asked for leave from Michelle last night. After Le Xiao went out, she ran directly to the General Affairs Department. She told the chef last night what to eat this morning.
Attracted by the food, Le Xiao walked briskly and soon ran directly to the cafeteria of the General Affairs Department. As soon as she arrived at the food table, the chef asked someone to bring the food over.
"I knew you would come at this time. It was just a few minutes after it was made."
Le Xiao smiled awkwardly and ate with big mouthfuls. She was very happy that she finished eating. It was only 5:45. Le Xiao took a cup of black tea comfortably and planned to rest for another 10 minutes before going to Section 10.
"Lord Gene and the others are going to go out today."
Le Xiao hummed.
"Come on, Lord Le Xiao."
Le Xiao nodded with a smile. She still felt a little uneasy in her heart. She stood up and walked out of the General Affairs Department and went up the stairs of the Capitol Square.
After arriving at the Capitol Square, Le Xiao ran to the right quickly. As soon as she got there, she saw that Gary Locke and Michelle were already here. A door appeared out of thin air and was open. Le Xiao looked at the environment inside in amazement, which was like a fantasy world. There were many animals. Le Xiao was completely stunned.
"What is this?"
"Something biological."
Le Xiao hurriedly ran in, looking at a clear and clean stream in front of her, the green grass was full of flowers, and there were butterflies and bees flying. Le Xiao hurried over and looked at these lifelike animals and plants. Not far away, a puppy with a wagging tail ran over and stood on tiptoe intimately. Le Xiao touched its head and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Is this true?"
Le Xiao couldn't believe it at all. The puppy rolled on the ground. Le Xiao touched its warm and round belly and exclaimed happily. At this time, a bee was collecting honey on a flower next to it. Le Xiao came over and looked at it with both hands on her cheeks, but suddenly the bee stung Le Xiao's forehead.
Suddenly, Le Xiao stood up in astonishment and covered her forehead.
"It hurts."
Locke ran over quickly.
"Haven't you ever taken a biology class?"
Le Xiao looked at the dead bee on the ground awkwardly.
"What's going on, butler? Are these all real?"
"Everything here is made with bionic technology. Except for the plants, everything else is bionic technology, including the bugs in the soil."
Le Xiao swallowed and pressed her swollen forehead. Locke laughed. Le Xiao grinned, and then Michelle explained.
This bionic project was started thirty years ago to make human society more colorful. Although everything was successful, the price and cost were too high, so this place is used as an experimental park, especially if humans set foot in the universe in the future and go to other places to find a place to live. In the long space voyage, without these colors, human psychology is very likely to have problems.
So this bionic project must exist, Le Xiao asked excitedly.
"If Gene can bring back enough resources, can we let these things enter the city?"
Locke laughed.
"Impossible. This technology can be studied all the time, but it can't be covered. After all, the cost is too high."
Le Xiao was a little disappointed, but her forehead began to hurt. Then Locke looked at the door. The secretaries of the section chiefs of various departments came one after another. Soon, when everyone was almost ready, they would go to the place where the spacecraft took off and send Gene and others away.
Some congressmen also came at this time. Many of them came here for the first time. Although many people have heard about this bionic technology, they still feel very incredible.
Yin Cai watched Zi Yuer pick up the puppy and hold it in her arms. She stood aside and watched, and several secretaries also leaned over.
"Really amazing."
Letty muttered, stretched out her hand and touched the puppy's head. At this time, several cats came out of the bushes not far away, looking at this side and looked a little curious. Immediately, Letty and Ye Jiao ran over, but the cats hid quickly.
Everything here is a real simulation of the habits of animals in the past, so it is very realistic, but many people noticed the big bag on Le Xiao's forehead at this time, and Zi Yuer giggled.
"You really are..."
Le Xiao covered her head, and many people laughed. Seeing that most people had come, Gary Locke closed the door and said.
"Everyone, let's go over."
A door opposite the bridge had been opened, and everyone walked in under the leadership of Gary Locke. Once they entered, they saw a long corridor, which was only three meters wide, and everyone walked closely together.
It's just that this passage seems a bit long. After walking for nearly 10 minutes, there is still no end in sight. Le Xiao is behind Michelle, and she asked.
"How long is it?"
"About 3 kilometers."
Le Xiao smiled awkwardly. Finally, at 6:30, everyone came to a huge metal hall. The spaceship was in the hall. There were people all around. Le Xiao soon saw Gene and several other gods. They were talking about something.
Everyone gathered around, and Le Xiao ran to Gene. At this time, Tang Rao came over with a frown.
"Little girl, I remember I reminded you."
Le Xiao was completely confused, and smiled awkwardly at Tang Rao.
"You ate too much."
Everyone around laughed, Le Xiao looked at Gene, and Gene nodded at her.
"You will start the launch later."
Le Xiao hummed. Originally, Le Xiao had a lot to say to Gene, but she also said a lot last night. When it really came to the day of the trip, Le Xiao didn't plan to say anything. She just planned to watch them leave silently.
"Almost done."
Noah ran over and said, everyone spread out in twos and threes. Le Xiao was brought to a platform by Noah, and then a light and shadow screen was directly called up.
"You can just choose to launch here later."
Le Xiao hummed, and Gene and the others began to go up one by one from a disc lowered from the bottom of the spacecraft. Le Xiao closed her eyes.
After everything was ready, Le Xiao opened her eyes and looked at the people leaving the spacecraft. She thought for a long time and said.
"Gene, I hope you have a smooth journey."
As soon as the voice fell, Le Xiao pressed the launch command. With a roar, the ceiling began to slowly open, the lights in the room went out, and the sun shone in instead. The spacecraft took off little by little in the roar. At this time, everyone looked up. Although the sun was dazzling, everyone's eyes were on the spacecraft.
Gradually, the spaceship flew into the air and then hovered in the air. Le Xiao sighed and closed her eyes again. The spaceship began to slowly move away, and the ceiling began to slowly close. Soon after a short period of darkness, the lights in the hall lit up. On a giant light and shadow screen, the whole picture of the spaceship could be clearly seen from many angles.
Le Xiao saw Gene and Tang Rao standing on the bow of the deck. Le Xiao watched the picture getting farther and farther away. She felt a little uncomfortable at this time because it was too short. She had only been with Gene for half a year.
After the spaceship completely left the city, everyone present began to applaud. At this time, Deguna spoke.
"Please go to the Congress Hall later. We have to hold a short meeting. After all, the delegation of the Sky Space Country will arrive the day after tomorrow."
Le Xiao remembered that the accommodation was settled. The next step was their itinerary arrangement. Le Xiao had not thought about this yet. After all, reception was the work of Section 13.
I will do a good job, Gene. When you come back, everything here will be fine!
Le Xiao said silently in her heart. She began to follow the crowd into the passage they had just come from. She looked back at the gradually dissipating light and shadow screen again, and then smiled.
7 o'clock
Gene stood on the deck with a strong wind in his face, and Tang Rao beside him asked.
"Don't you want to say something to her?"
"There's no need to say anything anymore. This chick has grown up now."
Tang Rao sat directly on the guardrail on one side. They had entered the barrier area and would cross the barrier in a few minutes.
The tests over the past few days have solved all the problems. Next, they only need to follow the originally planned route and clean up the monsters while walking.
At this time, Ran Zai ran up. He came to the two of them and said with a smile.
"It's really exciting. I have already explained the matter. They will all go to Section 13."
Gene nodded. Tang Rao also talked about this with Gary Locke. Gary Locke and others also thought it was pretty good. Gene looked back at the city behind him quietly. He was a little worried at this moment.
Because Jamie had relayed some of what Tassia had said, these things Gene actually wanted to tell Tang Rao and the others, but because Tassia had said that these things could only be told to Gene, and she also asked Jamie to tell Gene that Gene must not reveal it to anyone.
Because Tassia had said that one thing that made Gene extremely worried was that Gene would destroy the Brilliant City with his own hands in the future, which Gene himself had not expected, but what exactly did Tassia mean by the future.
This made Gene think of the dream that Billy had had many years ago, or the spiritual world he had entered, and Gene didn't understand why, and the most important point that Tassia warned Gene was that Gene must resolutely not interfere with anyone's trajectory.
So after hearing what Jamie said, Gene no longer gave anyone advice. What exactly was going on in this world, this time Gene had to thoroughly investigate it.
"What's wrong? You look worried?"
Ran Zai asked, and Gene just shook his head.
Gene looked at Ran Zai, remembered what Tassia had said, and killed Ran Zai.
Gene didn't do that, and he didn't plan to do that for the time being. Maybe the girl named Tasia saw the future, but the future hasn't happened yet, so Gene didn't plan to do anything to Ran Zai.
"It's nothing."
Jin said, and the spaceship began to cross the barrier. The original speed was a little slower than this, but when the numerical correction was finally made, the speed of the spaceship on the way to the plain area was still increased.
"If we really find the country across the sea, what are you going to do?"
Ran Zai asked, and Gene scratched his head and said.
"Let's investigate the situation there first."
Ran Zai shook his head.
"My personal opinion is that if there is really a country across the sea, maybe they have already negotiated something with the Sky Space Country."
Many people thought of what Ran Zai said, because there are things they dream of in the Brilliant City, and these things are impossible to give up. In many meetings, everyone nodded unanimously.
"So I personally think that if it is really found that they have some kind of agreement with the Sky Space Country, it is better to take action directly."
Jin smiled.
"It's impossible to take action without thinking."
The spaceship has begun to cross the mountains, and the Brilliant City behind it is no longer visible. So far, everything is normal.
In the captain's room, Tamayi was talking about some values with the people in the group who came out together. Gu Yi and Witt were still looking at the line. At present, according to the image files of the mecha, it is not difficult to see that the combat effectiveness of the Kangaroo Kingdom is really average. Although it is not ruled out that they have weapons of mass destruction, in general, their combat capabilities are very weak.
Gu Yi and Witt went to the Kangaroo Kingdom this time to investigate the blue-blooded people. This is what the gods agreed to at the beginning. People in liquid form have appeared in the past.
This is a secret from a long time ago. Only the gods know that it is a human who can occasionally appear and move after being infected by the annihilation virus, just like mutants. It is very likely that there are mutations that are different from mutants and they don't know.
In the past, they tried to study the phenomenon of human body liquidization, but unfortunately, the sample eventually died. The impact of the annihilation virus on humans is much greater than what humans know now, because the life vaccine also contains part of the annihilation virus.
The withering disease, including the phenomenon of mutants self-destructing after going berserk, is related to the annihilation virus. Fortunately, they have adjusted the vaccine and found a solution. Such drawbacks have been completely solved more than ten years ago.
"My lords, call Lord Gene and the others down. Let's have a drink to celebrate the departure!"
Tamayi said respectfully, and Witt nodded.
