Chapter 803: This is so exciting! I can't wait any longer!
After Gu Yin returned to 101, the commander took her to a special helipad. The two boarded the plane, and eight fully armed soldiers joined them. The plane slowly took off and flew towards the northwest.
"Where are we going?" Gu Yin asked, puzzled.
The location of the plan she heard about in her past life wasn't mentioned online, but she guessed it was definitely in the west, on the mysterious Kunlun Mountains, which almost everyone assumed was where.
Because it's a mysterious place, ordinary people can't go in. Not to mention the no-man's-land where wolves roam, the harsh environment alone is something few people can endure.
The leader smiled and shook his head: "You'll know when you get there. Let me tell you about the situation first. Many of the people there have lived their entire lives in anonymity, and some are old guys who appear in textbooks. These people are all very approachable and friendly, and they treat the younger generation very well. But there are some special people, some the same age as you and some younger than you. These people all have some special abilities, and they are arrogant and only respect those who are better than them. The education these people receive is different from our nine years of compulsory education. They have their own system, and they learn their family's secret techniques. They rarely interact with outsiders and are rather aloof, but they are truly capable. You also have quite a temper, and your teacher is worried that you will be bullied, so he asked me to keep an eye on you."
Gu Yin touched the tip of her nose: "I'm quite easy to talk to as long as others don't mess with me. But judging from what you've said, these people seem a bit like the reclusive families described in novels? Do they really exist in our country?"
The leader smiled mysteriously: "We still need to have a strong foundation. They are powerful, but we are not inferior. We are all working for the better development of our motherland. We are not afraid of trouble, nor do we provoke trouble. If anyone dares to mess with you, don't hold back, fight back hard! I'll back you up! There, strength is the most important thing! If you back down from the beginning, it will be difficult for you to speak up later. There, there is no shortage of geniuses. All the geniuses you know and don't know are there. Do you understand?"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "I know, I will do my best!"
The things that circulated online later revealed that the team behind them was no ordinary entity. Some even said that the founder of that department was a pioneer in a certain field and a prominent figure frequently mentioned in textbooks. Gu Yin knew these people were extraordinary, and she also knew that she would likely be just an ordinary person once she joined. But this was the aerospace battlefield! Who wouldn't be confused by such a thing?! Just being able to learn something, or even be of some use, would be a blessing from her past life!
"Don't you still have me? Don't worry! I'm your strongest support!" 001 flew out and patted Gu Yin's head reassuringly.
Gu Yin shook her head upon hearing this: "Don't come out then. It's not a simple place. If you get captured and dismembered, I won't be able to save you. Don't be careless. Our country is really not simple. There are some things that science cannot explain. I believe you know that."
001 thought of the dojo near the reservoir in her hometown and pouted, "Fine, your country is the most mysterious, okay! I'd better behave myself, otherwise my master will have to come and rescue me again, and I'm afraid my vacation will end early!"
Thinking of that woman, Gu Yin smiled and said, "Alright, if we behave ourselves, it will put your master at ease!"
The plane flew for more than six hours and stopped at the westernmost airport. Without leaving the airport, we boarded the SUVs that had been arranged for us and continued our journey.
"There is food in the car. We still have to travel for several hours, and then we will change vehicles and cross the desert, the no-man's land, and Death Valley. We will arrive at the outskirts of our destination as early as tomorrow afternoon, so there is no rush. We can rest well in the car."
The leader took out a few pieces of bread from the car and gave them to Gu Yin, saying with a smile, "This is all we have for now. You can eat all kinds of delicacies when we get there."
Gu Yin took it and asked in confusion, "There's a chef?"
The leader shook his head: "It's still those special groups. They're not from within the system; they're just going there to help. Some of them don't have any hobbies and don't want to go, so our leaders invite them over in exchange for good food. Although the conditions are tough, they can satisfy their needs in terms of food. And it's quite interesting there; you'll see when you get there."
Hearing him say that, Gu Yin became even more excited.
"001, you've been to the Three Thousand Worlds, are there any similar places?" Gu Yin asked curiously.
001 nodded: "Yes, that's why I said I would definitely gain something when we get there. I've searched through museums all over the country. The place you're going to now is one I've never been to before. I have a feeling my system will definitely be updated, and this time we'll definitely gain something, and a big one at that!"
The journey was long, and the people guarding them at the airport had all been replaced. Everyone was silent. The commander was resting with his eyes closed, and Gu Yin also rested when she saw this. After all, they didn't know if there would be any tough battles to fight when they arrived at their destination.
When the car stopped again, Gu Yin opened her eyes and saw a desolate, boundless expanse of yellow sand.
"You'll need to change vehicles here. We'll be entering the desert soon, so you can go there to take care of your personal matters."
Following the direction the commander pointed, Gu Yin saw a sentry post, somewhat similar to a police station in a town. It was small and simple, with soldiers standing guard around it.
Gu Yin just wanted to take care of her personal matters, so she nodded upon hearing this and, accompanied by others, walked towards the outpost.
These people seemed to know each other; after exchanging greetings, they let the person in.
Gu Yin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Don't you need to check identification?"
The two soldiers coughed lightly and said, "We all come from the same unit. We have assessments every year. Those who pass the assessment will be sent to the next supply point, and those who fail will be sent to the outer supply points to stand guard and wait for the next competition. Young comrades, you are special personnel, right? You haven't given us any bad looks along the way, so I can remind you, once you're inside, don't make any mistakes. If you do, you'll be like us and have to stand guard at the supply points. I've seen several young guys get punished. The conditions at the supply points are harsh and not suitable for you."
After saying this, the two men said no more.
Gu Yin: "..." Why am I getting more and more excited?
After relieving themselves, they didn't eat anything, just grabbed some compressed biscuits and continued on their way.
Looking at the time, it was already 8 pm, but here it was still broad daylight, the sun overhead was still scorching hot, and in the boundless desert, only their vehicle was speeding along. Gu Yin originally thought it would shake people so badly that they would vomit their bile, so no one dared to eat anything, but it turned out to be as flat as a whetstone!
"Commander, this car?!" Gu Yin looked at the commander in surprise.
The leader smiled and said, "There's something special about this car. You'll find out what it is once you get inside."
Gu Yin started brainstorming. Could this be a newly developed special vehicle? Like a non-grounded aircraft? Is our country that advanced? They've even developed this kind of material?!
"No, it's not that. I can feel the car being surrounded by an energy, but this energy can't last long. It's a bit like the kind of energy found in the cultivation world."
Gu Yin's eyes lit up upon hearing this! This is fucking thrilling! No wonder they didn't have a team with them when crossing this largest shifting sand desert, just one vehicle and eight soldiers! They're so confident! What to do? Her blood is boiling! She really wants to reach her destination immediately and see what kind of amazing place it is!
