Xiao Lingfeng used several water ball spells to clean up the bloodstains from the crows on the helicopter before boarding the plane with Jian Ning.
"You should put all these gene serums into your space. If we encounter any more danger, we can just jump out of the plane. By then, we won't have time to put these boxes away."
"You're right, I was careless too. I didn't expect to be attacked by a flock of birds in the sky." Xiao Lingfeng waved his hand and put away all the medicine boxes. Then he sat down in the driver's seat.
"Xiao Ning, come sit down. Stop cultivating for now and chat with me for a while."
"Alright, what do you want to say? Are you very curious about my immortal abode? I obtained this when I was exploring a secret realm in the cultivation world. It should be left behind by that ancient great being."
This is not easy to replicate. If you want it, you'll have to rely on your own cultivation in the future, or you can learn weapon crafting.
"Once you reach a certain level, you might be able to refine an immortal abode like this yourself. Your future is limitless. I have high hopes for you. Keep it up!" Jian Ning said, patting him on the shoulder.
“I recognize every single word you’re saying, but when we put them together, I just can’t understand it. Xiao Ning, are you using jargon specific to your cultivation world?” Xiao Lingfeng asked with a smile.
"Pretty much, it's all the same idea: if your skill level improves and you're lucky, you might get some kind of opportunity."
This immortal abode is probably unique in this world. In the cultivation world, there are many things better than this, but unfortunately, I used to be a complete novice.
If I were capable, I wouldn't have been struck by lightning and ended up here.
Oh, right, I haven't told you yet, but in my original world, there was also someone like you, with the same name and appearance, a top-tier swordsman, someone I looked up to. I suspect he might have been one of your past lives.
"Oh, now that you mention it, I'm quite interested. Are you on good terms with him?" Xiao Lingfeng asked.
"We only met a few times, so when I first met you in the elevator, I was really happy. I thought he had also traveled through time. But then I realized that you had no memory of him at all, so I was sure that we were two different people."
Actually, it's fine not to go back to the original world. Living is the same no matter where you are, it's just that this world has less spiritual energy.
However, I've noticed that since the animals began to mutate, not only has the climate changed, but the spiritual energy has also increased significantly. I don't know the specific reason.
"Is it a spiritual revival? Actually, I didn't live to the end in my previous life either. I was accidentally poisoned during a monster attack, and because I wasn't treated in time, I was reborn. From what I understand, these mutated animals will develop intelligence in the future..."
They become exceptionally intelligent when they no longer rely solely on instinct to hunt prey.
Humans are hardly a match for them. Although the gene warriors possess superpowers, their sheer number of mutated animals is overwhelming. The places where we humans can survive will become increasingly scarce.
A large base was also established in the capital. However, after the volcanic eruption, contact was lost. The fate of everyone there is unknown. I hope that the people there will be safe and well in this lifetime.
Don't be discouraged. Let's work together for our loved ones.
This life is different from your memories of the last, because I am the biggest variable. Let's work together; maybe we can really save this broken world.
Jian Ning patted his hand, intending to encourage him, but Xiao Lingfeng grabbed it and they intertwined their fingers.
"Yes, and you too, you are hope!"
The hat was really too big, but Jian Ning didn't think much of it.
Do what you can, and that's it. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. When you yourself are that tall person, you can only grit your teeth and keep going; there's no other way out.
Aside from encountering a blizzard that delayed their journey, they didn't encounter any other dangers on the rest of the trip.
At 11 p.m., the helicopter finally landed on the same rooftop where it had landed before.
Li Baozhu took a powerful flashlight and flashed it a few times on the ground. Soon, someone lifted the cover from underground and came out.
Within minutes, the bearded man led a group of soldiers to the rooftop.
"Brother Xiao, I knew it was you guys coming. How is it? Did you bring everything?"
"Of course I brought them. They're all on the plane. You can take them back now."
After Xiao Lingfeng landed the plane, he took out boxes of gene serum from his spatial storage.
The bearded man walked over and gave Xiao Lingfeng a big hug, then directed the soldiers who had come with him to carry all the boxes downstairs.
He led Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning back underground.
This time, accommodations were prepared for them, which were quite different from the simple ones last time. The rooms were covered with long-haired carpets, and had air conditioning and heating, making them more luxurious than hotel rooms.
"You guys take a rest first, I'll prepare some food and drinks right away. You've had a long journey," the bearded man said, and then turned to leave.
"No need, it's so late, don't bother. We can just have some instant noodles or something." Xiao Lingfeng refused. Jian Ning had fed him some snacks on the way, so he wasn't hungry at all.
"How can that be? You're guests from afar. Dinner will be ready in half an hour. You should rest for a bit." The bearded man left quickly without further ado.
"Let's take a break then. You must be tired from flying all this way. I'm going back to lie down for a bit. The black caviar here is quite delicious."
Jian Ning smiled and went back to the room next door. She wasn't tired at all, but she lay on the bed for a while, waiting for Xiao Lingfeng to knock on the door before getting up.
Although it was a bit late, the food on the table was anything but shoddy: Russian dumplings, borscht, beef stew with yogurt, lamb pilaf, and even king crab with red legs.
Looking at the table full of delicious food, Jian Ning felt her stomach start to rumble.
The bearded man warmly invited them to sit down, and soon after, a Russian man came over to drink with them.
Judging from his attire, he should be a high-ranking officer in the military, but due to the language barrier, Jian Ning couldn't understand what he was saying.
She simply focused on eating. Xiao Lingfeng could handle the social obligations; she didn't need to.
Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng stayed here for three days, mainly waiting for the soldiers who had been injected with the gene serum to activate their superpowers.
Perhaps due to their long-standing habit of living in cold environments, these warriors have ingrained ice and snow attributes into their very bones. Therefore, most of them activate ice-based abilities, with very few fire-based ones, and only a handful using spatial abilities.
Even so, none of the first thousand people who received the injections failed, which made them extremely happy.
