The material used to construct the Genesis Experiment Base is extremely special. It is impervious to water and fire, unaffected by cutting, and uncorroded by any substance; it is incredibly hard. Otherwise, it would have long since been torn to pieces by the attacks of those mutated animals. How could it have survived until now without being completely destroyed by giant burrowing beasts like rats?
He took out all the weapons he had, including annihilation bombs, laser swords, and laser beams, but he couldn't even break a small hole in the thick tunnel wall. He could even wipe away the slightest trace with his hand.
"Damn it, kid, are you kidding us? You say this is a door, then make a hole in it and let's see."
He tossed the tools to the ground, crossed his arms, and leaned against the wall of the passageway behind him. He was exhausted and sweating profusely, and with no one to take over, his expression was quite interesting.
Takagi's foot was injured, and he had been using weapons on the supersonic motorcycle, leaving him somewhat weak and unable to offer much help. Rose was a woman, George was too young, and Song Yang seemed unwilling to get involved; besides Rang, it seemed no one else could shoulder this responsibility.
Now that he's quitting, Xiang Wan isn't angry. She uses her fingertips to probe the spot he attacked, tests the temperature, and turns to him, saying, "In terms of character and ability, you're only fit to be a lackey."
He was furious. He had put in so much effort, and yet a little brat had mocked him. His uncle could tolerate it, but his aunt couldn't. He raised his hand, ready to give Xiang Wan a good flick on the head, but as soon as he raised his hand, he saw that Xiang Wan had already poked a small hole in the passage wall with a single finger.
Now, shock replaced the stuffiness. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes hard, seeing Xiang Wan slowly moving her finger to the side. As her finger moved, a hole about the thickness of a finger slowly appeared.
"Oh my god, I must not have slept well last night and I'm hallucinating."
He put his hand to his forehead, turned around, and calmed his agitated heart.
Takagi's eyes lit up as he stared intently at Xiang Wan's fingers, seemingly tempted to cut them off and study them. Rose looked on in astonishment, while George wore an expression of adoration. Only Song Yang watched Xiang Wan silently, as if nothing she did seemed strange to him anymore.
Since entering this experimental base, Song Yang had made up his mind. No matter how incredible Xiang Wan's abilities were, the fact that she saved him meant he couldn't take her lightly. All he had to do was protect her and trust her, nothing more.
Xiang Wan didn't know what they were thinking, but even if she did, it didn't matter. After surviving Chixing, there was even more despair to come; who had the mind to think about such trivial matters?
Even the strongest materials have their weaknesses.
Initially, those people went to great lengths to transport this mineral, named Ganash, from a place called Binary Star in another solar system, to build an underground experimental base. They knew very well that success in this experiment would bring great joy, while failure would result in countless mutated organisms. To be on the safe side, Ganash became the first choice. This substance, only after being heated to a high temperature and then cooled to a certain degree, and then cut with ice, would become as fragile as tofu.
Therefore, Genesis could not be built on the ground to prevent it from being destroyed by human intervention after being scorched by high temperatures. Nor could it be built on the other side of the Red Star, as it would consume too much energy. The underground base was thus constructed.
This property of Gynostemium makes it easy to use, but also extremely easy to destroy. Therefore, the original researchers and builders were directly eliminated after their experiments failed, resulting in very few people knowing about these events later on, which is why Genesis has been preserved to this day.
This was a secret, and those who came later, like Jean and Rose, were naturally unaware of it.
With a click, a hole just big enough for one person to pass through appeared before them, and the round wall block was still creaking under their feet.
He squatted down and touched the material with his hand, almost burning his palm with a blister.
"That's strange. Does this ingredient really discriminate based on who it's served? It doesn't make sense that it prefers a kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet, but not a handsome guy like me!"
"Because it doesn't like to brag."
After saying this, Xiang Wan turned and disappeared into the cave.
let:"……"
Who is the true king of the leather goods industry?
One by one, they crawled into the cave entrance, only to discover that the situation behind them was completely different from the previous passage. As soon as they stepped in, they felt as if they were carrying heavy iron weights, and they broke out in a sweat with every step forward.
"Where is this place? It feels a bit like the legendary gravity gym."
He had never been to a gravity-powered gym, but he had heard of it. Before coming to Akahoshi, he had fantasized about working out in a place like that.
"Is it the training room from God of War?" George asked excitedly.
Little boys all admire strong heroes, and he was no exception.
Xiang Wan didn't give them a chance to continue their idle chatter and immediately poured cold water on their enthusiasm: "Wrong, this is a pressure chamber. The hatch was broken, and the pressure dropped sharply. Don't be surprised if it swells up like a balloon in a moment."
Everyone was horrified. Everyone knew what the body would be like without pressure, yet Xiang Wan calmly and confidently explained this to them.
They've all traveled through black holes on ships; who wouldn't have this basic common sense?
"Lassie, how much longer until we reach the next location?"
Song Yang remained calm and did not question Xiang Wan's decision even at this point, which made Xiang Wan glance at him sideways.
"Ten meters ahead, we'll reach the next hatch," Xiang Wan replied.
