Chapter 131
More than a dozen officers in training uniforms looked at her under the night lights. The middle-aged man at the head of the group was imposing, with a smile in his eyes. "I didn't expect that a soldier who could easily fight off the aliens and escape unscathed would be so young and beautiful. Young lady, on behalf of the rescued soldiers, I, Wang Junwei, would like to express my gratitude to you." After saying that, the middle-aged officer led the others to raise their hands in salute.
Fu Le was startled by the scene and unconsciously stood up straight. After a long while, he finally thought of what to say, "Well, you're welcome. It was just a small favor. We're all Chinese, and it's only right to help each other. Everyone has a responsibility to the survival of the nation." After saying that, he felt embarrassed.
"Hahaha...Good, good, good. The survival of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen. This young lady is so young, yet she has such awareness. She truly surpasses her predecessors. May I ask how I should address her?"
"Fu Le".
Ten minutes later, Fu Le was already inside the helicopter, and sitting opposite her was the middle-aged military officer.
Throughout the journey, the middle-aged officer kept trying to strike up a conversation and get closer to her. Fu Le knew she couldn't outmaneuver this shrewd man, so to avoid making a mistake, she responded with "uh-huh" and "yeah." Eventually, the officer stopped asking questions, only occasionally glancing at her with a smile, which made her scalp tingle.
The command post is located deep in the KL Mountains.
When Fu Le stepped off the helicopter, he saw a cluster of buildings constructed of bluestone, exuding a strong sense of the era.
The majestic mountain has been hollowed out, forming a protective ring around the buildings, making it resemble a mountain city.
"So, are you satisfied with what you see?" Commander Wang said with a smile.
Fu Le smiled and said, "Our country's infrastructure capabilities are number one in the world, no doubt about it."
"Hahahaha...you little rascal..." Wang Junwei's eyes were full of laughter. "Let's go in and see, the commander is waiting for you."
"good."
After passing through layers of security lines, Fu Le finally met the head of the command center.
Fu Le was taken aback by the unfamiliar face he had never seen before, as he didn't recognize it at all.
Yes, this is 2075, another parallel universe.
Fu Le's reaction was observed by everyone. Apart from the commander, there were seven other officers, all of whom were generals.
Fu Le: I've really broadened my horizons in this other world.
Compared to the leader of the Ice Age Doomsday Base, this one exudes a more imposing aura.
"Commander, this is Fu Le." Wang Junwei saluted, said this, and left without giving Fu Le a single glance.
Fu Le: ...
He was left alone again.
A familiar tune.
"Fu Le, please sit down." The leader softened his voice, a smile on his face, just like an ordinary old man, and the oppressive aura he had felt when he entered seemed to have never existed.
Fu Le was seated opposite the leader's desk, with his hands on his knees, sitting upright like a model student in elementary school.
The other officers took their seats on the sofas to the left and right of their leader, their eyes fixed on her the entire time.
Fu Le: ...
What's going on here?!
Practice makes perfect. This time, Fu Le's heartbeat was calm, without excitement, fear, or tingling.
"Greetings, Commander."
"Good, good, Comrade Fu Le. First of all, on behalf of the small boat combat team, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. You have selflessly saved the small boat combat team many times during this period, and each time you have escaped unscathed. Your strength is truly amazing!"
"Commander, I am Chinese." I was just doing what I could.
"Good, good, good..." the leader said several times.
Aside from being registered at the A City base, Fu Le's information was nowhere to be found in the entire internal system; it was as if this person had appeared out of thin air.
"Girl, can I take a look at your weapon?" The commander asked gently, his eyes filled with expectation as he looked at Fu Le.
Fu Le: !!!
Alright, it's out.
Fu Le didn't speak, but looked directly into the leader's eyes.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
“Fu Le…” an officer beside him called out to remind him, and someone else coughed seemingly unintentionally.
Fu Le pursed his lips and stood up. At the same time, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and everyone except the leader stood up.
"Hey, what's going on? Sit down, sit down. The young lady has something to say. Everyone sit down, don't be like a frightened bird every day." The leader raised his hand to urge her down and said with a smile.
With a flick of her pale hand, ten silver rings appeared out of thin air on the table in front of the leader.
Commander: !!!
All the generals: !!!
This time, even the commander was so shocked that he stood up. If what he had just witnessed hadn't happened right in front of him, no matter who recounted it, he wouldn't have been able to believe it immediately.
"This is a mechatronic space. If someone cultivates internal energy, they can check what's inside at any time, but it's not bound to you. That means it can be taken away by someone else at any time. But if you drip your blood on it, it will recognize you as its owner. As long as the original owner is alive, no one can take over the mechatronic space. I have one myself." Fu Le raised his left hand, and a blood-red ring was on his slender, fair index finger. It looked very beautiful.
“Mesospace? Let me see…” The generals gathered around, about to grab it, when a book slammed down on them.
All generals: ...
"What are you looking at? Do you guys have internal energy? Go and call Wu Lin and Qian Hurricane over here."
"yes!"
"Girl, which family do you belong to? There's no information about you in the mortal world." The leader's expression softened, all traces of his previous domineering aura gone.
"It's not convenient to say, but my father brought me into this world because the world was in chaos. We couldn't just stay in one place and do nothing." These words were tantamount to acknowledging the suspicions of the leader and the others.
"Your father, good, good, good, hahaha... God bless China..."
This time, Fu Le brought out his mortar. Even though everyone had seen him perform the feat of turning objects into things with his bare hands before, it still shocked everyone.
"Your cannon, does it also have meson space inside?"
"Yes, it can be filled with five hundred special shells at a time."
"hiss……"
"Huh..."
"Mother..."
"Isn't that amazing?"
When the two leaders of the special forces brigade, who had cultivated their internal energy, entered, they saw a group of usually strict and domineering big shots, their buttocks sticking out, gathered around the desk. The commander was also there, his head down, seemingly looking at something.
"Sir, the person has been brought."
"Good, Hurricane. Wu Lin, you two come here. Put this on your fingers, channel your energy into it, and see what's inside. Report back truthfully."
"Yes." Although they didn't know what their leader meant, they understood what it meant to wear something.
As the two approached the table, they saw a mortar barrel about the length of an arm on it. The next second, the only woman in the office said, "Sir, let's deal with the ring first. I'll take this one."
The cannon barrel was so long that the woman went up to the handrail and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Wu Lin and Qian Hurricane;!!!
What the heck? A hidden universe in a sleeve? Is this a female Taoist priest?
Does the concept of a hidden space in one's sleeve truly exist?
The generals were somewhat displeased to see the mortars disappear, but they were quickly drawn to the rings. They wanted to know if these were truly meson space, as Fu Le had said.
"Sir, may I check your pulses? I need to confirm whether you two are suitable as the medium to open the meson."
"Of course. Hurricane, Wu Lin, let Fu Le check your pulse. Don't worry, everything will be fine. We can talk about it later."
"yes."
Fu Le stepped forward and smiled, "You've overstepped your bounds."
She reached out and checked them one by one. Sure enough, both of them had internal energy, but the energy they possessed was even finer than when she first started practicing.
With that, she felt relieved. If they wanted to dissect and study her, at least she could run away. Moreover, the person the leader trusted and summoned should be a top-tier internal energy master in this world.
Qian Hurricane's gaze was fixed on Fu Le's face. When he saw the relieved expression on Fu Le's face, he felt uneasy for some reason.
Fu Le put down his hand, picked up two silver rings from the table, and handed them to the two men.
"Put it on, circulate your inner energy into the ring, and you'll be able to see the size of the space inside."
Upon hearing this, Qian Hurricane and Wu Lin were both stunned. What did that mean? Was there a space inside?
Despite their many questions, everyone waited for them to make their move. The two exchanged a glance, took the items, put them on, closed their eyes, and began to circulate their internal energy.
A few seconds later, the two opened their eyes one after the other, breathing rapidly, their pupils trembling violently.
What did they see?!
“Here, take this pen and think about how to put it away.” Fu Le handed each of them a pen.
The two did as instructed, and sure enough, both pens appeared inside the ring they had seen.
"hiss……"
"sky……"
"How is it? How is it? What's inside? Is it big?" The leader excitedly walked around the desk, his shrewd black eyes no longer reserved and deep, but showing a childlike excitement and exhilaration that was clearly visible.
"Inside is a rectangular space, about the size of an acre."
“I also have an acre of land, so it should be more than that.”
Upon hearing their replies, everyone gasped in astonishment. Their emotions soared to the extreme, and their minds raced as they considered how to use these magical items and who should control them.
"Girl, could we borrow your mortar to study it?" the general surnamed Li suggested.
“Mine cannot be disassembled or borrowed. They are all made with magic. Even the original weapon refiner cannot replicate the same thing. Once disassembled, it will lose its storage function. This also applies to these storage rings. Once they are cut and disassembled, they become ordinary items.”
"I see. If you hadn't told us, we might have really dismantled it." That's what the leader said, but he didn't seem to be giving up.
Fu Le: ...
It would be even better if it could be developed; it would be a good thing for future generations.
Let them be.
Before leaving, Fu Le left behind two mortar shells. "Commander, I want shells like these, the more the better." That was the price for her rings.
"Okay. When do you need it?" The commander, in a very good mood, was easy to talk to.
"The sooner the better. I don't have much stock left. The craftsman who made this cannonball is dead, and our clan has no one with that skill anymore." The other implication is that they've run out of space and cannonballs, so you should conserve your space.
That's what they say, but whether they believe it or not isn't that important.
"Okay, don't worry, girl."
After Fu Le left, she took a helicopter to another mountain. The military arranged a residence for her there: a clean and tidy one-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom house made of bluestone. It was all modernly designed, fully furnished, and she could even cook.
Other officers' families also live here.
Command post.
"Commander, do you really believe what Fu Le said about their weapon refiners dying? Isn't it too risky for us to develop these shells for her?"
"Whether you believe it or not isn't that important. In the end, she could have given less of the ring, but she did, didn't she?" The leader lit a cigarette and said calmly, his emotions unreadable.
"Then this shell."
"Go and study it; prepare at least 100,000."
"One hundred thousand? That's enough to lead an army into battle?!" Everyone disagreed.
"Do you think she didn't consider our concerns? She did, yet she still brought it up. What do you think is the reason? Is it possible that this is also a test of our sincerity? Didn't you all hear her mention of 'emergence'? Suppose their weapon refiner didn't die, but she still came out and even brought this magical material. What is her purpose? To use cannonballs in war?"
Everyone: ...
Why is that? After this analysis, it all seems so simple yet mysterious; I can't quite understand Fu Le's true intentions.
"Don't overthink it. It's a sign of sincerity. Go ahead and give her what she wants. Only when we show enough sincerity will she trust us."
"yes."
Fu Le was unaware of what the big shots were thinking. After staying in the mountains for three days, she took the initiative to suggest that she go out and join the battle.
The application was submitted and the approval document was issued on the same day.
Fu Le chose to go to the military region where Lu Ze was located.
When she was taken to the naval squadron's camp, Lu Ze was sitting outside the tent in a daze, looking preoccupied and lost in thought. "Captain Lu, it's been a long time."
Hearing the voice, Lu Ze looked over and stared at her in a daze. "Fu Le?!?" After confirming that it really was Fu Le, Lu Ze suddenly stood up, his joy overflowing, and ran towards her.
Fu Le was given a big bear hug, which made him a little uncomfortable, but he didn't push him away.
Fu Le's addition surprised and delighted Lu Ze's teammates. With each additional strong member in the team, their lives would be more secure, which was something everyone was happy to see.
According to Lu Ze, his former teammates had all been reassigned to other camps, and he was the only one left in this camp.
Reuniting with Lu Ze as teammates, coupled with the exposure of certain events, allowed Fu Le to become less restrained and unleash his full potential, wreaking havoc in the sea.
With Fu Le around, muskets were replaced with cannons, and battle boats were replaced with warships. With cannons on board, they became even more ferocious in killing monsters.
Warships generally navigate in more dangerous areas, while small boats travel in relatively less dangerous areas. Because of Fu Le's addition, the command specially transferred him back from the front-line troops. In addition to Lu Ze and his men, ten more soldiers were added to the ship to protect Fu Le's safety.
But is Fu Le someone who needs protection?
