Ji Han was very quick; she prepared everything Zhou Siyu needed in just three days and also provided a group of tall and burly bodyguards.
The private spaceship stopped near the secret domain. Looking at the scene outside the window on the screen, Zhou Siyu frowned.
The endless yellow sand is as mesmerizing as ever.
Since the accident, the alliance has reinforced the defenses of the secret realm, adding a layer of very hard glass outside the high walls to completely isolate the secret realm from the outside world.
Looking through the glass dome, the entire secret realm was laid out before one's eyes.
"Why is it like this here?" Yu Zhen, who had reached the doorway, had her face covered in sand and dust. She fanned herself with her hand and spat out the fine sand in her mouth. "Ptooey... ptooey, sister-in-law, what kind of awful weather is this? Why is it both cold and hot?"
Despite the bright sunshine and swirling yellow sand, heavy snow was falling from the sky, with strong winds whipping up snowflakes that mingled with the yellow sand as they slanted down.
"Wear more clothes." Zhou Siyu took out protective gear and handed it to Yu Zhen. "The temperature difference between day and night is large here, and the temperature is very low at night."
Zhou Siyu bent down and stroked the milk-flavored steamed bun, then squatted down and gently patted its head: "Stay on the spaceship and don't run around."
"Awoo awoo~ woo~"
Milk-flavored steamed bun rubbed against Zhou Siyu's palm, jumped off the spaceship, took a few steps, turned around and looked at Zhou Siyu, its tail wagging like a small fan.
Zhou Siyu remained unmoved and shook her index finger.
"Waaaaah~ Waaaah~"
The milk-scented steamed bun lowered its front paws and whimpered.
“Sister-in-law, take it with you.” Yu Zhen patted the head of the milk-flavored steamed bun. “It would be too lonely to leave the dog alone on the spaceship, and I’m also worried about it.”
Yu Wei and Zhou Siyu were running around, and he was the one who fed the milk-flavored steamed buns most of the time. The little guy was very intelligent and won the love of the whole family.
Just as Zhou Siyu was about to say something, he heard footsteps coming from afar, and the sound seemed to be approaching in this direction.
"Walk."
Zhou Siyu tossed the backpack to Yu Zhen, grabbed the backpack strap, jumped off the spaceship, set the parameters, and the spaceship took off automatically, flying towards a large sand dune.
A group of people and a dog braved the fierce wind, trudging through the soft sand and rain of yellow sand. In the boundless yellow sand, everything seemed so small.
The sandstorm quickly covered the footprints, saving the trouble of concealing the traces.
"Verification successful".
The glass door slowly closed, revealing a huge black steel plate in front of them.
The group stepped onto the steel plate, and the glass door slowly closed.
The heavy steel plates flew over the high wall like a flying carpet, looking quite absurd.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, we're flying!" Yu Zhen exclaimed excitedly. "Look over there, it's so green!"
Zhou Siyu carefully compared the map Ji Han gave her and clicked her tongue slightly: "The dense forest area is full of snakes, insects, rats, ants and monsters, and it is also a relatively dangerous place."
"Relatively dangerous?" Yu Zhen leaned closer to Zhou Siyu, looked at the map, and pointed to the center, asking, "So this area is the most dangerous?"
“Theoretically speaking, yes. This is the main building of the Etolan Laboratory, which is said to be home to many mutated plants and animals.” Zhou Siyu stroked his chin and thought for a moment. “There are also underground storage rooms and cold storage facilities. I wonder if they are still usable.”
Is this our goal?
“Yes.” Zhou Siyu nodded and circled the center on the virtual screen. “The Kao virus originated from the Etolan Laboratory. Yu Wei only solved the Kao virus after coming to the Secret Realm, so there must be something here that can solve the Kao virus.”
"Oh~" Yu Zhen suddenly realized, looking like he'd finally given himself away. "You're here to help me find a solution, huh~"
Stop being silly!
Zhou Siyu glared at Yu Zhen quickly, as if to say, "You think you know everything?"
It's an unspoken understanding, don't you know? Doesn't he have any pride?
The steel plate slowly descended over the high wall. Yu Zhen jumped off the steel plate first and turned to pull Zhou Siyu: "You can just tell me directly, why do you have to keep it from him? Maybe he can even provide you with information."
"If he knew, do you think I would even be here?"
Zhou Siyu jumped off the steel plate and stared in astonishment at the makeshift shelter that had been erected in front of her.
I still remember the last time he came, the tent was a makeshift one, and he slept in a simple sleeping bag, almost freezing to death at night. Unlike now, the simple tin shack is equipped with advanced temperature control equipment, and you can see the simple wooden bed and compressed bedding placed next to it from the window.
It seems the alliance is determined to explore and develop the secret realm.
"Shall we just go in?"
Yu Zhen looked at the vast expanse of yellow sand ahead with a sigh. Although the sand here didn't fly around like it did outside the glass dome, the air was extremely dry. In addition, the glass dome blocked the airflow between the secret realm and the outside world, making the entire space stuffy, hot, and dry.
People tend to sweat easily when in a steamy environment, and the sweat soaks their clothes and sticks tightly to their skin.
Several bodyguards couldn't stand it any longer and picked up water bottles to drink, but Zhou Siyu snatched them away.
"If the road ahead is unclear, drinking water too early means danger will come sooner."
"This place is absolutely fucking awful!"
The bodyguard knew Zhou Siyu was right, but he still couldn't help complaining.
"Bear with it." Zhou Siyu handed the water bottle back to him, his gaze sweeping over each bodyguard: "I know you all signed contracts and death waivers before you came, but I still hope that you can take responsibility for your own lives."
“The outer circle is the designated safe zone. Find a place to pitch your tents. It’s too dangerous inside, so you don’t need to come with me.”
After saying that, Zhou Siyu squatted down and began to carefully check the backpack. After checking it, she gave Yu Zhen a wink, and the two of them made a move to leave.
