Chapter 131 Polar Features "It's amazing, no wonder your...
"That's amazing! No wonder everyone in your family is so smart."
"Thank you for the compliment."
The style of Superman's base was not as hardcore as Liu Shu had imagined. Instead, it had many details. However, after taking a look around the cozy kitchen, she chose to go back to the laboratory to continue observing Superman's equipment.
"I'm hungry. Let's go cook." Liu Shu didn't immerse herself too much in her own world. She has always been a person who doesn't treat herself too harshly.
"Hmm? Okay, but there's a robot here that's responsible for cooking." Tim had just been doing his own work. If Liu Shu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that he was hungry.
"Then I won't do it." Liu Shu wanted to try the local specialties. How could eating food cooked by robots in the Arctic not be considered a polar specialty?
"You don't really need to cook when you're traveling," Tim nodded with a smile.
There is no difference between food cooked by robots and food cooked by humans. If we insist that food cooked by humans has souls, then wouldn’t humans become soul-eating beasts that eat souls every day?
"It's so big here." Liu Shu put down her knife and fork. She had been looking at this lounge, which she had never been to, while she was eating.
There are tables, chairs and sofas, and it looks like a place specifically for eating and chatting.
"Actually, there are a lot of places I haven't taken you to because they're considered private."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not interested in that. This is someone else's house. The living room and the front and back yards are enough to look at. No one would go into the owner's study or bedroom, right?"
Tim looked a little guilty. He and Bruce really knew this base inside out.
"Hmm?" Liu Shu saw it, and it took her only a few seconds to guess why he had that expression. Maybe if Superman forgets to close the back door one day, they will remind him.
"You can see the aurora at this time, shall we go out?" Tim changed the subject very abruptly.
"Still going out through the same door?"
"There is another way to get to the top." Tim led the way, looking back as he walked.
He might be more familiar with this base than Superman. Liu Shu didn't say much, as she was already used to these things.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly realized Superman's thoughts. He might have gotten used to it too.
They walked into the elevator and stood at the highest point of the base.
"It's so beautiful..." The dreamy blue-green aurora in the night sky changes like ribbons.
"Most planets in the solar system have this natural phenomenon, and the manifestations are very different. It is definitely worth seeing." Tim stood by the door. It was not very cold where he was, and there was no ice or snow on the ground.
"Why..." Liu Shu was thinking about a less important question, "Can't Superman fly? Why does he need an elevator?"
"?" Tim glanced at the elevator behind him. He had never thought about this.
"I don't know either. Maybe he wants to take care of ordinary people?" He guessed, but there was no other explanation.
“Not many ordinary people come here,” Liu Shu shook his head, “but this device is still very convenient.”
"yes."
Liu Shu walked over to him and took his hand, "It's so cold, let's go back."
"Your hands are quite warm..." Tim said before realizing she was talking about him.
Liu Shu raised his hand and touched his face again. The temperature was also a little low. "Superman hasn't come back yet. It seems that the people over there are very disobedient."
"They sent home all those whose families could not be found, but there were still more than 200 people who could not be found. It is speculated that they were illegal immigrants and homeless people, so only those 200 people needed to be taken care of." Tim told her about the follow-up situation.
"That's okay, but it's not acceptable if there are only a few thousand people." Although it's just a number, you only realize how exaggerated the unit of thousand is when you actually see it.
"If we're not careful, they'll get into trouble. We can't stuff them all into the hospital at once, as that would take up too much of the metropolitan city's medical resources." Tim seemed to be very concerned about this matter.
"Actually, this shouldn't be something you should worry about." It's something the Metropolitan Police should do. Liu Shu can understand that they don't want to burden the police, but there are many things that they can't do alone.
"No one else will take care of them except us. I hope they can get better soon." Tim didn't seem to understand, but his second half of the sentence was very sincere.
That's true. Liu Shu thought of the suspects in the entire building. It would take a lot of manpower to distinguish which ones are innocent. Maybe the police in the metropolis are already deeply involved in overtime.
"It's already the second day. Has anyone recovered?"
"There are quite a lot, about one-third, and the number of sober people is still gradually increasing. According to this index, everyone will return to normal in about four days. One week may be an exaggeration by Gallup." Tim didn't know why the wizard did this.
Liu Shu noticed his slight doubts, but she didn't think Gallup was exaggerating. "Maybe there will be people who can't wake up in a week. Three thousand people is still too big a base."
"Um."
Today's Arctic expedition ended here, and Liu Shu and he boarded Superman's plane again and were sent back to Metropolis.
"Goodbye." Liu Shu stood at the railing and waved to Superman in the air. She felt that she would never forget the aurora, the small animals... and the base of the Batman statue over there in her life.
"If you want to go to the South Pole or the North Pole, you can come to me and I will take you there." Superman also waved his hand.
"Thank you." Liu Shu felt that he was a bit like a close relative in the family who would take the children out to play.
The next day was free again, as Tim was determined to stick to his work.
"Just send it here." Liu Shu only knew that his branch office was behind, and she didn't want to go in and face everyone's gaze.
"You must come and pick me up." Tim let go of her hand, seeming a little reluctant, like a primary school student who was sent to school and was about to start class.
"Okay," Liu Shu nodded, "What time can I get off work?"
"I don't know..." Tim glanced back at the entrance, "Nine then."
"I'll come," Liu Shu hugged him gently and quickly stepped away, "Come on."
"Yeah!" He nodded heavily and turned to go to the building behind very energetically.
This is only the case when he is at work or on the night shift. Liu Shu actually doesn't understand whether he likes his work or not.
She didn't dwell on this silly question for too long and soon arrived at Alina and Gallup's temporary residence.
"You're here! Come in and sit down!" Alina was a little surprised to see someone outside the door, but she still welcomed him warmly.
"Good morning." Liu Shu greeted her and began to observe the indoor environment.
From the outside it looked like an ordinary two-story house, but when I came in I saw a lot of plants hanging on the windows that are not very common in this country.
The living room here... there is no living room, just a few wicker chairs, and a table against the wall, with the center empty.
"Why are you here? Isn't there a better option to learn from a master?" Gallup was sitting on the ground, with many mineral fragments of different colors and materials beside him. He seemed to be processing them.
"I came to see you," Liu Shu said, and found that a door opened and Alina's junior brother walked out.
"Who is this?" She looked at the adult male with blond hair and blue eyes. Gallup had previously said that his name was fake.
"Perris Hansen," Alina introduced, but something seemed wrong.
"No, not that name..." He looked a little guilty, "It's Perris Rider."
"What about Hansen?" Alina looked at him puzzledly.
"Hansen is neither my first name nor my last name. I'm sorry, Alina, I lied to you." Perris lowered his head, and his tone of apology was very sincere.
"I told you, his father's name couldn't be Hansen--" Gallup was still chiseling stones. He didn't even look at them, but still spoke loudly.
"It doesn't matter. The name isn't that important. Have you fully recovered now?" Alina didn't care at all about her junior's deception.
"Names are important! Go copy the first lesson from the textbook five times for me!" Gallup was angered by her words that showed no common sense about magicians.
"Ah? Sorry, teacher, I mean his name is not important, no, it's not unimportant..." Alina tried to avoid the fate of copying the text five times, but her words became more and more confused.
"Is he still your student now?" Liu Shu picked a chair and sat down, then asked Gallup.
When she asked this question, she saw Perris's nervous expression. He probably didn't want to be expelled from the sect. Liu Shu waited for Gallup's answer with an expectant mood.
"Why not?" Gallup glanced at his two equally nervous students. "No future."
"Thank you." Perris looked relieved.
Gallup stood up and brushed off the dirt and dust on the corners of his clothes. "Hurry up and get your homework book. You got a lot of questions wrong before you left last time."
"Okay..." Perris became nervous again.
It seems that all students in the world are afraid of their teachers. Liu Shu glanced at the ore on the ground and asked, "What are those for?"
"These are needed for portable runes and potions. Hiss—you are not here to gather information, are you?" Although he said so, Gallup did not show any vigilance.
"No," Liu Shu was indeed not here to spy on them. She shook her head, "I'm just curious about how a wizard who could save so many people with a low-level spell teaches."
"You're curious about this group of mages. We're more boring than you think." Gallup pushed open the door that Perris had just walked out of.
There are many books in this room...but Liu Shu always feels something is wrong. She looks at the ceiling and the floor.
It's the height. It's higher here than it looks from outside.
The Metropolis is not where Gallup and his students settled, but the signs of use inside the house do not seem like an ordinary temporary residence, but more like a long-term residence.
She slowly walked to the window of this study. If she guessed correctly...
"You noticed? You're quite perceptive." Gallup laughed.
