Chapter 816: Truly shocking!
The three followed Chi Ye outside. Once outside, Gu Yin looked at Chi Ye.
Chi Ye unlocked a small car from the side: "I'm going to the extreme cold, so I'll take a car there."
Once in the car, Bai Wuwen explained, "The extreme cold region is at the end of the base. We'll get there by car."
"The Land of Famine and Cold, as the name suggests, is an extremely cold place. My sister failed her tribulation and couldn't transform into human form, so she could only stay in this frigid land, unable to move an inch. The outside world is so wonderful, I want her to see it all, instead of being trapped in this small place. But she always says it's okay, that living in the water is a mermaid's nature, how could she be bored? I know she doesn't want me to suffer, but I only have one sister. If I don't go to great lengths for her, who will? She is very kind and cheerful, always greeting everyone with a smile. She doesn't have the arrogance of a mermaid at all, she's like a little fool."
At this point, Chi Ye's previously smiling face turned dejected.
"But she didn't know that if she didn't have enough spiritual energy to heal herself, she would die."
This topic is a bit heavy. Gu Yi said softly, "It should be fine. Didn't Elder Jin already apply to the Great White Mountain? Once they agree, I will start making pills to treat her. I believe she will recover soon. If the python succeeds in its tribulation this time, I believe your sister will succeed too. You don't need to worry too much."
If all else fails, she can ask the cultivation world again; such a small matter shouldn't be difficult.
Chi Ye nodded: "I have a feeling it will succeed." Although a merman's premonition is not as strong as a koi's, if the premonition is strong enough, it will be more accurate.
The car drove through the square and came to a place that was even wider than the square, but without any buildings. A cold wind blew straight at them, as cold as a knife! There was no protective shield here! Gu Yin looked around.
It was incredibly empty! The snow kept falling, and the temperature must have been very low. Even Gu Yin, wearing special clothing, felt the cold to her bones! Looking up, there was nothing at all, just a vast expanse of white. She had no idea how many meters deep the snow had fallen! Several of the aircraft they had used on their previous return were parked on the open ground.
"This is the test flight field. Newly developed aircraft are all tested and inspected here, so the area is quite large. Because we're flying upwards, there's no protection here, and the temperature is very low. Normally, you have to wear special protective suits to come here. We drove here, so we don't need to get out, and we don't need to wear them. Since this is your first time here, we're letting you experience it." After Chi Ye finished speaking, he pressed a button, and all the transparent car windows rolled up. In about five seconds, the car immediately warmed up.
That's incredibly fast, much faster than an air conditioner. Clearly, this car, the windows, and the heater are all quite sophisticated.
The car weaved between the aircraft, and the cold-looking weapons made Gu Yin momentarily dazed, her blood freezing. Images of the past and future churned in her mind. The battlefield was ruthless, backwardness meant being beaten, and without confidence, one could not speak out. It was not a matter of choice; you had to go, or you would die. It was very realistic and cruel.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Sheng asked, tugging at Gu Yin's sleeve as she stared blankly outside.
Gu Yin snapped out of her reverie and chuckled, "It's alright. Before I came, I thought scientists who worked in anonymity were amazing, but after coming here, words can't describe them! They dedicate themselves to the country and its people, working tirelessly, like saviors from mythological novels!"
"Don't forget, you're one of them too." Bai Wuwen patted Gu Yin with a smile.
Gu Yin paused for a moment, then smiled: "Indeed, I am one of them." She will also be a legendary figure in the future, someone featured in textbooks.
The car continued driving for about ten minutes before stopping in an igloo that resembled an aquarium.
"We've arrived. The outer layer has a cold-proof system installed. Inside, I've used our merfolk's secret method to maintain a normal temperature. But you can't touch the water in that pool, or you'll be frozen solid. Even I can't save you then. Remember that," Chi Ye reminded him as he got out of the car.
Gu Yin nodded. These words were clearly meant for her; the others already knew.
After getting off the car, it wasn't cold at all. The four of them pushed open the heavy ice door and went inside.
Gu Yin originally thought it would be as cold as the laboratory environment, but she didn't expect it to be like a princess room! It was decorated with pink and blue, which was very warm and dreamy. It was obviously the room of a pampered girl.
"Splash splash~"
Gu Yin looked at the lake surface, which had been calm a moment ago but was now beginning to churn. After a while, a young woman with a beautiful face and an innocent look emerged from the water. Her upper body had skin as white as jade, without any scales, and her gray-white hair covered the water surface like seaweed, obscuring her private parts.
The woman swam slowly towards them, lay on the surface of the water, and said happily, "Brother, you're back! How come you're back so quickly this time?!" Usually, it took her brother a long time to come back. How come he's back in just two or three days?
Thinking of this, she immediately asked anxiously, "Has something happened? Brother, are you injured?"
Before Gu Yin could react, she saw the merman girl standing upright on the water's surface, her seven- or eight-meter-long body and her enormous purple fish tail covered in scales staring straight into her eyes!
"Brother! Who hurt you! Who?!" The piercing sound, like fingernails scratching glass, went straight through Gu Yin's ears and into her brain! Gu Yin's vision went black instantly.
"Ah Xing! I'm fine! I'm not hurt! You don't need to worry!" Chi Ye immediately flew into the air to explain.
When Gu Yin was in pain, the merman's golden pill in her body immediately took effect, stabilizing her brain nerves and protecting her heart, allowing her to wake up before she fell into darkness.
Looking at this dreamlike scene, Gu Yin murmured, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe it? This is fucking dreamlike! Right?"
Not hearing a reply, Gu Yin turned her head: "Why aren't you saying anything? You...?!! Oh my god! Why are they all unconscious? Chi Ye, come down and check on them! Don't let anyone die!"
Gu Yin quickly crouched down to check on Bai Wuwen and Xiao Sheng, who were already unconscious!
After Chi Ye landed, he fed the two of them something, then took out a bottle and held it under their noses for a while before they slowly woke up.
"Ugh!! Ugh~~~"
The sounds of vomiting rose and fell in the beautiful princess room, leaving Gu Yin speechless.
Afraid that the girl would get angry again and kill them, they quickly explained, "Well, this is just like when a person has to go to the bathroom, they can't hold it in! Please understand, we'll have them clean you up later! Don't be angry!"
Chi Xing had confirmed that her brother was not injured, and seeing the situation, she felt very embarrassed. She lay back down on the shore, her face flushed, and said, "It's my fault. I couldn't control myself. It has nothing to do with them! I'll clean it up later! I'm sorry to have made you suffer! You are my brother's friends, and you came to visit. I should have treated you well, but I ended up like this. I'm so sorry! This is my favorite fruit. My brother always buys it for me when he goes out. I'll treat you to some!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several bright yellow objects, about the size of basketballs, landed at the feet of the three of them.
"Ugh!!" The sounds of vomiting, which had seemed to be stopping, started up again!
Chi Xing looked at her brother and Gu Yin with an innocent expression.
Gu Yin reached out and picked up a durian, breaking it open forcefully. She smiled and said, "I love durian too! It smells so good! Don't mind them, they don't appreciate this delicious food! Come on, little sister! Let's eat together!" She then handed half to Chi Xing.
Seeing that Gu Yin really liked it, Chi Xing was happy. He reached out and took it, eating it while looking at Gu Yin with curiosity.
Looking at the rooms overflowing with durians, Gu Yin exclaimed, "Your brother knows how to choose durians. Next time you go out, buy more and bring some back for me too."
Seeing her brother being praised, Chi Xing was happier than anyone else: "Great! Great! My brother is the best at picking fruit! I'll have him bring you some next time!"
