A floating mechanical island drifts through a purple cloud.
Tang Hongshan sat on the edge of the mechanical island, one hand resting on his knee, with a bag of strong liquor and a brand-new straight knife beside him. His slightly tipsy eyes gazed listlessly into the distance.
Actually, the scenery in the distance wasn't anything special, because there wasn't much scenery at all. Now, Elder Mo's mechanical island had floated to an altitude of about eight thousand meters in the sky. The oxygen was thin here, and even superhumans needed oxygen supplements to survive. But even at this altitude, everything was still shrouded in purple mist, and visibility was extremely low.
Tang Hongshan remembered that when he was young, he had experienced interdimensional wars and had also been to a mountain at an altitude of 8,000 meters. From there, all the clouds and mist were at his feet, unlike the monotonous scene he saw now.
"well......"
Tang Hongshan sighed, picked up the liquor bag, and took a swig of strong liquor.
Old Zhang sat down next to him, a cigarette dangling from his lips: "What are you doing on NetEase Cloud Music again?"
Tang Hongshan: "Do you think Lin Nai and Wan'er should be in any danger?"
"How would I know?" Old Zhang slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said leisurely, "We've only had some scattered intelligence about the situation in the capital for the past two years. Besides, if the enemy there can't even handle Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er, then there's no use worrying about it."
Tang Hongshan remained silent.
Old Zhang said, "Anyway, I've seen through it all now. We're just a bunch of insignificant people who can't change anything. Even a powerful civilization like the gods will fall one day, let alone us humans. Instead of thinking too much and torturing ourselves, we might as well just go with the flow."
Tang Hongshan retorted, "You're so unambitious."
Old Zhang: "Who's like you? You're so old and still so immature."
Tang Hongshan: "..."
"Team Leader Tang!" At this moment, Lin Yuxi ran over, saw Tang Hongshan and Lao Zhang, and said, "Come over here quickly."
Tang Hongshan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Tang Hongshan, Lao Zhang, and Lin Yuxi entered the house together. Everyone was gathered there, and Yang Xiaochuan was in front of a computer, typing something.
Tang Hongshan walked over and asked, "Xiao Chuan, what did you find?"
Yang Xiaochuan looked up and said, "Well, when we were on the ground, I collected some samples of purple fungus for analysis, and now we finally have some results."
"Oh?" Tang Hongshan raised an eyebrow: "What was the result?"
Yang Xiaochuan typed on the keyboard and pulled up some data: "I analyzed the genes of this demonic plant and found that it has a very similar cell structure to the ancient plants recorded in the data, and the demonic genes it belongs to are all of the same type. But in addition, I also found many plant cell sequences that have never been seen on Blue Star before, as well as a strange substance."
"A strange substance?" Tang Hongshan asked. "What substance?"
Yang Xiaochuan said, "This substance also appeared when the No. 2 space gate in Yecheng was closed and a void air leak caused pollution."
Tang Hongshan raised an eyebrow: "What?"
Nail asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Yang Xiaochuan scratched his head: "I think this strange purple fungus plant is like a synthetic plant that has been artificially created."
“Man-made…” Tang Hongshan frowned: “Could it be an evil god?”
"I don't know," Yang Xiaochuan said. "I discovered that this purple fungus plant can adapt very well to the pollution of the void air. It can survive even in environments with high concentrations of void air. In fact, if there are many of these plants, they may even have the ability to fill in the dimensional rifts."
Lin Yuxi was shocked: "Really?"
Yang Xiaochuan: "This is just my guess."
Tang Hongshan remained silent, lost in thought.
Why are you still here?
Li Xiaozhu pushed open the door and entered the room, where she saw Tang Hongshan and the others.
Ah Guang asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is dinner ready?"
"No," Li Xiaozhu said speechlessly, "Our rebel leader has arrived. Old Xun and the others are calling us to hurry and greet him!"
"The leader?" Tang Hongshan immediately stood up: "The leader has also landed on the floating mechanical island?"
Li Xiaozhu: "Yes."
Anan asked, puzzled, "But hasn't the leader always been at Camp 1?"
Li Xiaozhu paused for a moment and said, "You guys don't know yet? Camp 1 no longer exists."
Everyone was immediately startled. Tang Hongshan exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be that even Camp 1 has been...?"
“Hmm.” Li Xiaozhu said, “Actually, it’s not just Camp 1, but also Camps 2, 3, 4... all of them have been destroyed. Purple fungus has spread all over the land, and there is no place for any of the bases built on the ground to survive.”
"..." Tang Hongshan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "It seems that what Hua Lingze and the others said before was right. The strength of the purple fungus has evolved again. I'm afraid we can no longer stay on the ground."
Lin Yuxi said worriedly, "Then are we going to be stuck living on this floating mechanical island forever?"
"No, no, no." Li Xiaozhu waved his hand: "The leader said that he will definitely lead our rebel army to take back the land from the evil god."
Old Zhang asked, "Where is the leader now?"
Li Xiaozhu said, "It's right in the main control room."
"Alright, let's hurry up and go." Ah Guang chuckled. "We've been defecting from the government for so long, and I still don't know what the leader of our rebel army looks like. Let's go."
The group quickly arrived at the main control room, where a large crowd had already gathered.
Master Xun, Master Mo, Li Fei, Zhi Qing, and Zou Li were all there, their expressions respectful.
Lin Yuxi, A Guang, Dingzi, and the others looked left and right, looking around everywhere.
"Where exactly is the leader?" A-Guang kept asking.
Old Zhang said speechlessly, "Don't rush, didn't we say the leader just arrived at the aerial mechanical island? He probably needs to settle in first..."
Li Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed, "They're here! Look over there!"
Tang Hongshan and the others all looked over.
A mechanical door slowly opened.
An elderly man with white hair, escorted by two guards, slowly walked into the room.
