The 18th Underground City of Yanjing, Laboratory No. 3.
As the red maple leaves surrounding Li Qingyu gradually dispersed, Li Qingyu, whose expression had been somewhat dazed, revealed himself.
Seeing Li Qingyu's expression, Chu You couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Is...something wrong?"
Li Qingyu looked up blankly, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Colonel Chu said... he's not planning to come back for the time being..."
Chu You was stunned when she heard Li Qingyu's words.
“Brother…” Chu You murmured.
Immediately afterward, Chu You looked up abruptly, "Are you lying to me?"
Chu You's face gradually darkened. She knew that Li Qingyu was unlikely to lie to her, but she just couldn't accept the fact that her brother didn't intend to come back.
Li Qingyu was also helpless. If it weren't for the fact that only he could use the zither, he would have let Chu You go and talk to him by herself.
Upon hearing this, Da Vinci walked over, shook the fat on his big face, and comforted Chu You.
"If Chu Xuan doesn't want to come back, there must be a reason. Maybe... there are humans in the Second Universe who need to be saved? Or maybe... Chu Xuan has discovered some secret in the Second Universe?"
"Or perhaps... Chu Xuan found a wife in the second universe?"
Listening to Leonardo da Vinci's forced words of comfort, Li Qingyu couldn't help but click his tongue.
He truly hadn't expected that the plan to rescue Colonel Chu... would be aborted because Colonel Chu didn't want to return for the time being...
Li Qingyu looked up and glanced at the time in the laboratory.
5:30....
Hmm... it'll be dinner time in half an hour...
Li Qingyu glanced at Expedition Zero, which stood in the center of the laboratory, and casually threw out a Crimson Enhancement.
Anyway, I have plenty of evolution points now, and Expedition Zero is actually quite effective. Since I've seen it, I'll evolve it to SS rank first...
What if... we need it someday?
Soon, a huge, deep red pillar of fire ignited and then quickly went out.
The brand-new Expedition Zero appeared before Li Qingyu.
However, the SS-class Expedition Zero is completely different from the original.
The original Expedition Zero, no matter how old and outdated, at least looked like a modern product. As for the current Expedition Zero...
Li Qingyu narrowed his eyes. This color...
It's brass...
Or is it gold...?
It's flashy enough, yet not flashy enough...
Unsure of what to do, Li Qingyu directly checked the attributes.
Expedition Zero
[Rank: SS]
When the Expedition Zero carrier rocket successfully ignites and launches, it will break through all obstacles five seconds after liftoff and randomly enter an unknown universe that has not been explored by other universes.
Twenty-four hours after launch, Expedition Zero can choose whether to return to Earth.
[Passive Skill: First Mountain Bronze Casting. While inside Expedition Zero, one is immune to attacks from both temporal and spatial scales.]
Satellites, manned spacecraft, lunar exploration... these are the ultimate dreams of countless martyrs, and the starting point for the dreams of countless successors.
[What the eye sees, what the heart desires, what the body goes.]
Um....
Not bad, the SS-class Expedition Zero actually made it back, at least it won't fly off and get lost.
In that case, should we... fly directly to Colonel Chu's place?
Looking at the gleaming brass of the Expedition Zero and the Miracle Football beside it, Li Qingyu hesitated. However, Li Qingyu ultimately decided to listen to Colonel Chu. Since Colonel Chu had refused the summons, there was indeed no need for him to force a rescue.
just in case....
Colonel Chu is really getting married in the Second Universe now...
It was so inappropriate to bother them in the past...
Anyway, we can communicate with the Child now, so we should be able to summon it by reasoning. Let's ask again in a while.
Maybe when Colonel Chu gets tired of playing around... he'll want to come back...
Da Vinci and Chu You, who were standing nearby, were also attracted by the huge torch that had been burning during Expedition Zero's evolution. Now that the flames of evolution had died down, Expedition Zero had turned a brass color.
Da Vinci then walked over and asked, "So, what new functions does Expedition Zero have after its evolution? It doesn't look like it's turned into an antique decoration, does it?"
Li Qingyu glanced at Chu You, and seeing that Chu You's expression had returned to calm, Li Qingyu then told Da Vinci about the new attributes of Expedition Zero.
"We can actually run back and forth now... Let's launch now!" Leonardo da Vinci exclaimed excitedly.
Li Qingyu looked at Leonardo da Vinci with a puzzled expression.
"Launch now? Target whom?"
“Me? Shoot me!” Leonardo da Vinci stretched out his right hand and pointed to his large face.
“Um…” Li Qingyu forced a smile. “Let’s do it another day. I’m busy right now. My mom’s calling me home for dinner.”
After saying that, Li Qingyu ignored Da Vinci and turned to Chu You, saying, "Miss Youzi, I'll be going now?"
Chu You remained calm, seemingly lost in thought. Upon hearing Li Qingyu's question, she nodded gently, "Okay, you can go now."
However, just as Li Qingyu was about to step out of the laboratory, Chu You's voice rang out again.
"By the way, since Expedition Zero can travel back and forth now, does that mean I can fly directly to my brother and bring him back?"
Li Qingyu paused in his steps.
