Chapter 500 Surface
"Report!! The scout team has returned completely. The target island is all normal. There is no abnormal time and space disorder described by the governor, and there is no danger. Temporarily found 5 freshwater resources. This is a living island!!"
Commodore Roves, who was standing under the awning, turned his head to look at the airship in mid-air, and the Governor of Hope Island was watching from above.
He frowned and thought for a few seconds, then said to the adjutant in front of him: "Go to the island! According to the No. 3 plan, send engineers to build strongholds and docks!"
Without the maintenance of 010 bubbles, the various buildings of the island foundation became very fragile, and even shattered into powder with a light touch.
Not just the buildings, but also the cars on the side of the road, the searchlights that were used to illuminate the gates on the surface, and the long and narrow elevator tunnel.
Although the building has disappeared, the flat foundation is still there, which provides a lot of convenience for the engineers to build strongholds.
Seeing the ants-like crowd on the island below, Anna asked Charles, "That's right, 010 is gone, and you have another island in your territory."
Frowning tightly, he held the railing with both hands, and looked up at the open hole above. "Islands are worthless now. There are as many unowned islands in the entire Earth Sea."
After looking down and thinking for a while, Anna said, "Well, then it's decided, the name of this island is Ancha Island."
Charles turned his head and glanced at her, "Okay, you have the final say, go back, let's go to the surface now."
Although Charles' tone was very calm, his trembling hands betrayed his heart.
"Is it that urgent? Don't wait for the island stronghold to be built?" Anna's straight, white legs jumped lightly on the iron plate, and jumped directly onto Charles's back.
Charles did not answer this question, and walked towards the interior of the airship with Anna on his back.
Following the governor's order, the airship dragged by the huge airbag slowly flew towards the huge dark cave.
The warm, deadly sunlight slowly faded as the metal gate entered, and darkness shrouded the airship again.
The rest of the fleet breathed a sigh of relief, and took off the black cloth covering the windows. Compared to sunlight, they are still more accustomed to darkness, at least darkness will not kill people.
"It's okay. The Earth Sea is definitely far away from the Earth's surface. The difference between the two can even be several kilometers. It is reasonable that the sun's light cannot penetrate from the top to the bottom." Charles explained to Anna who was on the side.
Anna gently held Charles' trembling right hand with both hands, and looked at him amusedly. "What are you explaining? I didn't ask you this question."
Charles gave her a forced smile, and looked out into the dark space outside the glass window.
The bright searchlights shot towards the surrounding gray metal walls, and all kinds of weird and incomprehensible inscriptions on them kept lighting up and disappearing.
Time passed by second by second, Charles had never felt that time passed so slowly, and now he finally felt what it means to live like a year.
After experiencing so many hardships, he suddenly discovered that the long wait was the most tormenting.
"Hmm~mmmm..." Anna hummed the familiar lullaby softly, the voice was so small that only Charles who was on the side could hear it.
Charles lay down on his side, resting his head on Anna's lap, recalling the experience of these fourteen years in his mind.
The pain, despair and fear in it are only clear to him, one scene after another is skipped in his mind, and an indescribable emotion surges into his heart.
He was afraid, afraid that this was not his previous surface. Although he always had various reasons to convince others, he couldn't convince his own heart no matter what.
The various anomalies in Earth Sea are too different from the surface, and the above really may not be a modern society.
The lullaby stopped, and Anna looked down at the scarred face in front of her. She used her hand to gently pin the long hanging hair behind her head, and then kissed it.
"Don't worry, this time is different from last time. This time, it doesn't count what's on it. I'll be by your side."
Feeling Anna's sweet tongue and soft lips, Charles felt sleepy and slowly fell asleep.
Anna looked helplessly at Charles in front of her, and gently brushed the scar on his face with her fingers, finally reaching Charles' ear.
A tentacle with black scales protruded from the ear hole, gently wrapping around Anna's finger.
Charles had a sweet dream, which was hazy. He felt very happy and happy, and had a comfortable feeling of being soaked in warm water.
After an unknown amount of time, Anna's gentle voice woke Charles up slowly.
"Charles, Charles, wake up, we've arrived."
He looked at his lover blankly, and after the other party said it for the second time, he finally came back to his senses, he has now reached the surface
"Let's go!" Charles pulled Anna and rushed towards the airship hatch. For the first time in so many years, he had a happy smile on his face, the kind of joy that came from the heart.
However, just as he walked to the airship and stood on the steps leading directly to the ground, the smile on his face froze.
Purple was his first impression of the surface. In the sky above, there was no sun, moon, or stars, only a vast purple mist.
It was snowing on the ground, and the gray goose feather snow fell slowly, landing on Charles' hair, and also on the corners of his slightly trembling eyes.
"Where is this?" Charles looked at the deserted surroundings.
From the surrounding landscape, it seems to be the Gobi, but Charles obviously didn't want to ask this.
"Where is this!!" Charles asked again, his voice suddenly raised.
Whether it's purple fog or gray snow, this doesn't look like the original earth by any means.
Charles stumbled down the stairs, looking blankly at all the abnormal scenes around him.
Anna chased after him, opened her arms and hugged Charles lightly, and said solemnly, "Gao Zhiming, look at me, look into my eyes."
Charles took a deep breath, and he went back to the steps and sat on it, staring at the gray snow-covered ground with a painful expression.
"It's okay, I'm fine, I can hold on, I just want to be quiet now..."
Anna looked at Charles, who was holding his head with both hands, and with a slight frown, she stepped on the steps and returned to the airship. Following her quick command, the airship fleet immediately began to move.
"Da da da da~" With the sound of the propeller turning, a squadron of helicopters flew in all directions.
It won't be long before the surrounding landforms will be quickly detected by them.
Anna came back to Charles and sat down beside him.
"It shouldn't! You also know that the content of the foundation clearly states that their surface headquarters is in Boston! And before them, as long as their members passed the review, they could also return to the surface! "
Charles' expression was very incomprehensible to the scene in front of him, even if the place was full of walking gods, at least it would be easier to understand.
"Wait a while, when the helicopter detects it back, we will know whether this place is the surface or not."
