Chapter 1035 Suspicion
After coming out, he didn't have a gloomy face like last time. Li Sikai thought that it was probably because the guards treated the two of them well.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another month had passed. Dean Xu and Jiang Ji came to see him again, using the same excuse as before.
Li Sikai was puzzled. How could this be contagious if there was no inspiration? Why did everyone come?
And President Xu and Engineer Jiang, when did their relationship become so good that they were inseparable?
Although he didn't say anything, the complexity and amusement in his eyes made the two of them shudder.
Dean Xu and Jiang Ji wanted to refute something, but when they thought that this kid didn't know the terrible situation in his own space, they shut up.
The two thought, they didn't know whether the desertification or collapse of the land would have any effect on the body. When they thought of this, they looked at Li Sikai with sympathy.
Li Sikai scratched his head, not knowing what was going on.
What's there to sympathize with? It's just a stone growing on his finger, and it can disappear.
Not wanting to face the creepy gazes of the two people, he put the person into the space.
This time he did not withdraw his consciousness so quickly, but instead carefully observed the movements of the two people.
Unfortunately, Dean Xu and Jiang Ji were very cautious and did not mention the cracks and desertification in the space at all.
Li Sikai observed for more than an hour and felt that the two people just came in to eat and drink.
He lost interest, regained consciousness, and started studying agricultural knowledge.
Although novels are interesting, they become boring if you read too much. As a successor to the General Alliance Officer who may be dismissed at any time and whose health is not very good, he should study some professional knowledge to avoid being criticized in the future.
In this way, several months passed. Every month, the two would come hand in hand, stay in the space for a whole day, and then leave.
Li Sikai wanted to find out, but the two of them kept silent.
He had no choice but to ask Chief Alliance Officer Li. Chief Alliance Officer Li just smiled and didn't respond, and asked him: "How long will it take to upgrade?"
Li Sikai was confused, and after a while he said, "It will take a long time. Uncle, I feel that this space is a bit strange."
What he wanted to say was that since he absorbed the black stone, he had developed a mysterious connection with space. He didn't want to say it, but he felt that General Li was so concerned about him that he would feel guilty if he didn't say it.
But General Li thought that the space was about to collapse, and asked seriously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Li Sikai opened his mouth, but immediately stopped talking. He shook his head and said, "No, everything is fine, but it's been several years, and I haven't collected enough faith points." He stopped talking, so as not to make the other party worry.
"Ah, that's okay. There's no rush to upgrade. Let's just maintain the status quo." Chief Alliance Officer Li waved his hand indifferently.
Li Sikai was shocked. His uncle had always been eager to upgrade before, so why didn't he want to do it this time?
Although he had thought about giving up before because his body couldn't bear it. But since he drank the spiritual spring water given by Shen Yanming, his health has improved a lot, and his uncle has not worried about it anymore. Why doesn't he want to upgrade this time?
But he knew that many bases outside were running out of ammunition and food.
Seeing his confusion, Chief Alliance Officer Li patted his hands and said, "Don't worry, this is the Alliance's business. We can't put the burden on you alone."
Li Sikai frowned and asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Uncle, are you, Dean Xu, and Engineer Jiang hiding something from me?"
"No way!" Chief Alliance Officer Li denied without a second thought: "You are so important, how dare we hide anything from you!"
"But they..."
"Well, the research on the space storage device is not going well, and Jiang Ji has become bald. He probably has nowhere else to go, so he often comes to harass you. As for Old Xu, he is just greedy and likes to save face, so he can only wait for Jiang Ji to come over and find an excuse to borrow his light."
"Oh!" Li Sikai nodded, feeling that something was wrong. But since Chief Alliance Officer Li had said so, he couldn't just keep pestering her.
"Okay, take a good rest and don't think too much. By the way, if agricultural books are too boring, ask Qiu Man for some travel notes or other books. By the way, it seems that Curry has a tablet with a few movies downloaded on it. Ask Qiu Man to bring it to you when you get back."
Li Sikai felt more and more that something was wrong. When did his uncle become so talkative? It was as if he was afraid that he would ask something and was just nagging on purpose.
"Okay, it's getting late. I'll go back first. You should have a good rest." After saying this, Chief Alliance Officer Li left as if he was escaping.
Li Sikai only had time to say to his back: "Uncle, take care."
Then came deeper doubts.
They must be hiding something from me, and it's something bad.
But what was it? He was in good health! His limbs were strong, he had no illness or disaster, and even his brain didn't ache anymore.
Is that space? But he didn't feel anything unusual about space! Could it be that he didn't notice it?
Li Sikai once again probed his consciousness into the space, but apart from a subtle connection, he really didn't find anything wrong.
Since I don't understand, I won't think about it anymore. Anyway, I will know it one day, it's just a matter of time.
The escaped Chief Alliance Officer Li sat in his office and let out a long sigh. He called Dean Xu and Jiang Ji and asked them about their latest discoveries.
"Xiao Kai is already suspicious. You two have been in there so many times. What's going on?"
"Just like before, there are cracks in the space." Jiang Ji said directly: "According to the current trend, it may collapse and disintegrate in the next upgrade, or the next upgrade after that."
"Is it irreversible?"
Jiang Ji shook his head: "Every time I go in, the cracks are increasing, and they are getting more and more. They are relatively stable and will not cause much impact. But once external forces intervene, the space may not be able to withstand it."
Dean Xu added: "The vitality of the land in the space is also rapidly weakening. I found that the crops grown recently are not as delicious and nutritious as before. It's like the species are degenerating.
After observation, I suspect that the cracks that Engineer Jiang mentioned are caused by over-cultivation.”
As if he was afraid that Chief Alliance Officer Li would not believe him, Dean Xu continued, "Everything has a limit, too much is as bad as too little. The Alliance regarded Xiao Kai's space as salvation, but due to excessive consumption, the space began to resist. If no measures are taken, eventually..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what he meant.
"We can't stop farming. There are so many people outside waiting for food." Chief Alliance Officer Li rubbed his face. In this case, let's solve another problem. "Jiang Ji, how is your research going? Can the space storage device exist stably?"
Jiang Ji pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, "What do you mean by stable? If it lasts for a year or two, then it's fine. But if it lasts forever, then it won't work."
