our secret base

Chapter 115 The King’s Palace and Spaceship Conjecture
"Hey, something like this happened that night."

Xie Yuzhi saw a curious expression on her fiancé's face, and he said seriously:

"She said she wanted to help us in order to defeat Qiu Qimeng? Although this kind of thing sounds like a lie, I want to hear what she has to say with my own ears."

The day after receiving the call, Xie Yuzhi had prepared all the luggage to set off to explore the alien planet, and the three of them once again arrived at the secret base.

"...You'd better not contact her."

Xie Yuzhi subconsciously rejected the proposal.

"why?"

"Yeah, why?"

Next to him, Ji Chunzao's big eyes gleamed, and his face showed the same curiosity.

"..."

Xie Yuzhi couldn't help but glare at her.

Jing Xing didn't know the reason, didn't she know it yet?
If...if that person named Mi Ying is another strange woman like Qiu Qimeng who appears suddenly and clings to Jing Xing, it will be no good for both of them.

Unfortunately, Chun Zao didn't seem to notice this yet.

"Ah, I see."

At this time, Yan Jingxing said with a smile.

"Are you worried that I will be deceived? Well, you are better at this, so I'd better communicate with you in the future."

"..."

Miss Xie felt a little guilty, so she quickly changed the topic after nodding vaguely.

"The communication with her confirmed one thing for me." She explained the main purpose of this alien journey, "Just like the 'warrior' can use the physical body and the priest can communicate with the 'overlord', the king also has his own My own special power can compete with huge enemies.”

According to the woman, it is the power that "can still protect people to survive even if the world is destroyed." She calls it a "palace."

"'palace'?"

Yan Jingxing thought this title was a bit strange. He recalled it for a moment and suddenly thought of something.

"By the way! Do you still remember the dream I had before? In the dream, there was the astronaut who led us to find the secret base, and there was also you and Chun Zao in the future..."

"Well, and the 'future me' you see is in a huge palace." Xie Yuzhi nodded slightly, "When I heard Mi Ying talk about 'palace', I immediately thought I thought about this."

"The other party also provided a method on how to get the 'palace'... Actually it is not a method, it can only be regarded as a direction. According to her, the currently known 'palaces' on the earth all have their own names, so if you want to get The new 'palace', apart from taking it from others, can only be explored on Alpha Planet to find the ruins that have been sleeping in various places after the interstellar civilization was lost."

"Is this 'palace' literal?"

Yan Jingxing couldn't help asking.

On the other side of the teleportation device in the secret base is a huge building that seems to have been abandoned for a long time. It's okay to call it a "palace".

"I don't think so."

Miss Xie put her fingers together to hold her white chin, raised her head slightly, showing a thoughtful look.Of course she had thought about it.

"The palace she mentioned must be a mobile device that can protect people's survival at the end of the world. I have a guess that it may be some kind of fortress with both transportation and protective functions."

"Like... uh, some kind of big tank? A moving city?"

Yan Jingxing guessed.

"——For example, a spaceship?"

Ji Chunzao said.

"...Yes, if it is a spaceship, 'even if the earth is destroyed, it can survive' is not an empty statement, right?"

Xie Yuzhi smiled slightly.

"I also thought of one thing. As the 'savior' of the body, he had a great impact on human history and left behind various religious myths called 'miracles'. Among these myths, there is a legend that really concerns me. That's 'Noah's Ark.'"

The God who created the world saw that the earth was full of evil deeds, so he decided to destroy the world with floods. But before the end came, he conveyed this matter to a human named Noah and instructed him to build a giant ship to save mankind and The fire for other life on earth.

"The woman named Mi Ying may have just said it casually, but when I heard her mention that Qiu Qimeng has the power to destroy the world, and at the same time she was convinced that she could survive the destruction of the world, I remembered it." Xie Yuzhi said, "The ark in this story might be a 'palace'."

"...So, Noah's Ark is not an ordinary ship, but a spaceship?"

"Yes. But no matter what, only by finding the real palace can we understand whether it is true or false."

"How to do?"

"Your use of the body, and the behavior of Spring Algae and the Predator King, are all spontaneous. I think the relationship between the king and the palace should be exactly the same. You can understand it as long as you come into contact with it."

"Finally, she said one more thing... I don't know if she guessed that we have a way to transfer to another planet, but she said that we can use her channels, but we have to keep it secret. "

"You refused?" Yan Jingxing asked, "If you refused too decisively..."

"——Maybe the secret of 'we have a method' will be exposed, I understand. But I still refused, because I still can't judge whether everything she said is true or false. If you want to use her channels, you will definitely need to Go to her territory. If she has malicious intentions, we will be very passive here."

"Just confirm whether she is Qiu Qimeng's friend, right? If the two of them are really friends, there is no need for Miss Miying to side with Qiu Qimeng to deceive people. After all, even if the savior can be infinitely resurrected, can destroy the world, etc. The information is all false, and I still can't beat Qiu Qimeng; but if you say it the other way around, the credibility is very high." "You want to confirm whether these two people are real friends? What should you do?"

"Just ask the person involved directly."

"...?"

Seeing Xie Yuzhi's confused look, Yan Jingxing stretched out his hand and let the prototype bone armor wrap his arm as if to show off something.

"I only noticed it when I tried to transform before. Didn't Qiu Qimeng say that she left 'marks' on my body? I'm afraid this is it."

A small, white wing grew from the gap in the armor.

Yan Jingxing touched it, and the wings trembled as if they were alive.Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know if she can't do it, or if she just doesn't want to hide it from me. I can feel that this wing has been closely entangled with the neural network of the body. Moreover, it can also send out corresponding neural signals through it. Contact the other party..."

Xie Yuzhi's face changed slightly and she held his hand.

"never mind."

"Ok?"

Yan Jingxing looked at her in surprise.

"There is no need to contact that woman."

Miss Xie said seriously.

"Asking for help from the enemy should only be done when you are desperate."

"……alright, I got it."

Yan Jingxing nodded and finally gave up.

*
"coming."

After a period of turmoil, the three people in the secret base once again set foot on the land of another planet.

After their first experience, the young people no longer panicked. They skillfully changed their clothes, packed their luggage, and left the room.

In addition, they were no longer ordinary humans without the ability to resist, so they felt at ease along the way.

"Finally—"

Came to this world again.

Xie Yuzhi took a deep breath and realized that the air here was indeed no different from that on earth.

They walked upward along the deserted passage, and the entire ruins remained as silent as a tomb.

"Speaking of which, there is really no one in this place... The existence of the Alphas is only on the murals. Where did they go? Are they really extinct?"

"I've asked this question before. As for the cause of the annihilation of Alpha civilization, the initial mainstream opinion was that 'invasive alien species' and their leader 'overlord' destroyed them. Because of the information unearthed in several ruins, Their existence was mentioned in murals and books, and one can feel the panic of the Alpha people about this... But after the secrets such as the body and the palace were gradually revealed, everyone realized that the later Alpha civilization had theoretically possessed It is possible to resist the overlord, and indeed give birth to a powerful enough body, such as the 'Savior'."

"So, some people began to think that there were deeper reasons behind the destruction of civilization, such as civil strife, or that the entire civilization was actually annihilated by an overwhelmingly powerful body. The most questionable object here is also the "savior", after all It’s called the “Final Suppression Device.”

"Some people also think that the Alpha civilization has not perished at all, but has only suffered a certain amount of damage. The surviving Alpha people are still hiding somewhere on this planet. After all, human exploration of Alpha Planet is limited to a very small range. According to calculations, the volume and land surface area of ​​this planet are far larger than those of the Earth."

Yan Jingxing stroked the mural next to him.

"So, no live Alphas encountered so far?"

"That's right. If we really meet aliens, the debate will cease to exist. But in fact, all people find are the relics they left behind..."

"In short, in fact, what insiders on Earth are currently doing is no different from tomb robbers, except that they target alien tombs. Every unusual discovery may become an opportunity to promote the next leap in the development of Earth's science and technology. and Cornerstone, but opportunities like this are rare.”

While talking, they came to the door.

"finally……"

Yan Jingxing opened the door without hesitation.

What comes into view is a lush and huge forest with an average height of trees over 20 meters.

According to the last experience, every tree in the forest seems to have a certain degree of intelligence, and the huge intertwined root system constitutes a huge life form.

"But this time they don't seem to be trying to stop us."

No, let alone obstruction... They didn't even make a sound. They were as quiet as the trees on earth, and they were no longer manic at all.The noisy noises like huge waves that were made when trying to intimidate them no longer exist, and even the lines on the tree's surface that are very similar to human faces look benevolent.

At this time, Ji Chunzao, who was feeling something carefully, suddenly smiled.

"I can feel their 'emotions'. These trees are afraid of you, Jing Xing, so they don't dare to make too much noise."

"Is that right?"

Yan Jingxing looked at the forest in surprise. The big trees were gently swaying their branches, as if they were greeting guests arriving from another distant planet.
