"Report!! The scout team has completely returned. Everything is normal on the target island. There is no space-time disorder described by the Governor, and there is any danger. 5 freshwater resources have been temporarily discovered. This is a living island!!"
Standing under the awning, Brigadier General Roves turned his head and looked at the airship in the air, hoping that the Governor of the island would be watching from above.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, he frowned and 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!"
The various buildings on the island foundation lack 010 bubbles to maintain and become very fragile, and even shatter into powder with a touch.
Not only the buildings, but also the cars on the roadside, the searchlights used to illuminate the gates on the ground, 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 construction base of the engineers.
Looking at the crowds on the islands below that are constantly crawling like ants, Anna asked Charles, "That's right, 010 is gone, there is another island in your territory."
With frowning, he held the railing in both hands and looked up at the opening of the upper door. "Now the islands are worthless. There are as many unowned islands in the entire Earth Sea as there are."
Anna looked down and thought for a while, then said: "Well, that's it. The name of this island is Ancha Island."
Charles turned his head to look at her, "Okay, you have the final say, come back, let's go to the surface now."
Although Charles's tone was very calm, his trembling hands betrayed his heart.
"It's in such a hurry? Can you not wait for the island stronghold to be built?" Anna's straight white calf lightly jumped on the iron plate, and jumped directly onto Charles's back.
Charles did not answer this question, and walked towards the inside 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.
As he entered the metal gate, the warm and deadly sunlight slowly disappeared, and darkness enveloped 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 were more comfortable with darkness, at least the darkness would not kill.
"It's okay, the earth sea must be far away from the surface, and the difference between the two can even be several kilometers. It is reasonable that the sun's light cannot penetrate below from above." Charles explained to Anna on the side.
Anna gently held Charles' trembling right hand with both hands and looked at him amused. "What are you explaining, I didn't ask you this question either."
Charles smiled reluctantly at her and looked into the dark space outside the glass window.
Bright searchlights shot towards the gray metal walls all around, and all kinds of weird and incomprehensible inscriptions continued to light up and disappear.
As time passed by, Charles had never felt that time passed so slowly, and now he finally felt what it means to live like a year.
After so many hardships, he suddenly discovered that the long wait was the most tormenting.
"Hmm~mmmm~..." Anna gently hummed the familiar lullaby, her voice was so small that only Charles on the side could hear it.
Charles lay down on his side, resting his head on Anna's thigh, recalling the entire fourteen years of experience in his mind.
Only he himself knew the pain, despair and fear, and the scenes were skipped in his mind, and an indescribable sentiment surged into his heart.
He was afraid, afraid that this was not the surface before him. Although he always had various reasons to convince others, he couldn't convince his own heart in any way.
The various anomalies in the Earth Sea are so different from the surface, it is really possible that it is not a modern society.
The lullaby stopped, Anna looked down at the scarred face in front of her, she gently pinned the hanging long hair behind her head with her hands, and then kissed.
"Don't worry, this time is different from last time. This time it doesn't count as what's on it, I'll be by your side."
Feeling Anna's sweet tongue and soft lips, Charles felt a trace of sleepiness in his heart and slowly fell asleep.
Anna looked at Charles helplessly in her eyes, gently tracing the scars on his face with her fingers, and finally came to Charles' ears.
A tentacle with black scales stretched out from the ear hole and gently wrapped Anna's finger.
Charles had a sweet dream, hazy, he felt very happy and happy, a comfortable feeling of being immersed in warm water.
I don't know how long it has been, Anna's gentle voice made Charles slowly wake up.
"Charles, Charles, wake up, we have arrived."
He looked at his lover blankly, and after the other person said it a second time, he came back to his senses, and now he has reached the surface.
"Go!" Charles took Anna and rushed towards the airship door, his face showed a happy smile for the first time in so many years, the kind of joy that came to his heart.
However, just as he walked to the airship and stood on the stairs that reached the ground, the smile on his face froze.
Purple is his first impression of the earth's surface. In the sky above, there is no sun, moon, or stars, but a vast purple fog.
It was snowing on the ground, and the gray goose feathers fell slowly, on Charles' hair, and on the corner of his trembling eyes.
"Where is this?" Charles looked at the deserted surroundings.
From the surrounding landscape, it seems to be Gobi, but Charles obviously didn't want to ask this.
"Where is this!!" Charles asked again, raising his voice sharply.
Whether it's purple fog or gray snow, no matter how it looks, it doesn't look like the original earth.
Charles stumbled down the stairs, staring blankly at all the unusual scenes around him.
Anna chased up, opened her hands and gently embraced Charles, and said with a solemn expression: "Gao Zhiming, look at me, look at my eyes."
Charles took a deep breath. He returned to the stairs and sat on it. He stared at the ground covered with heavy gray snow with an expression of pain.
"It's okay, I'm okay, I can hold it, I just want to be quiet now..."
Anna looked at Charles, who was holding her head with both hands~EbookFREE.me~ with frowned brows, she stepped on the steps to return to the airship, and with her rapid command, the airship fleet immediately began to move.
"DaDaDaDa~" With the sound of the propeller turning, a squadron of helicopters flew in all directions.
Before long, the surrounding landscape will be quickly detected by them.
Anna returned to Charles and sat down beside him.
"It shouldn't be! You know, the contents of the foundation clearly state that their surface headquarters is in Boston! And when they were before, their members could return to the surface as long as they were reviewed! "
Charles's expression is very incomprehensible to the scene in front of him, even if there are walking gods everywhere in this place, at least it is easier to understand.
"Wait a moment, when the helicopter detects it, we will know if this place is on the surface."
