Chapter 231 Kepler Sightings
"The Wu family is really good, it seems they've practiced," Jerris said with a smile.
"Is this really going to work? I think everyone's condition is very bad." Tan Ziyuan was very worried. She knew her teammates too well. They didn't look like this even during high-gravity training. They were completely unkempt, indicating they had reached the most dangerous point.
Jerris glanced at Tan Ziyuan, blinked, but said nothing.
The giant worm was still tirelessly outputting, wave after wave of roars bombarding the six people in front of it.
Long Dan'ni frowned. "How do we stop it?"
"Ah, stop?" Jerris was stunned.
"Stop immediately! They're all at the critical point. Once their minds collapse, it will cause irreversible aftereffects. Li Hao is playing with fire. Stop immediately! That's an order!" Long Dan'ni said in a deep voice.
Jerris shrugged. "Sorry, Principal Long, I can't stop it, and I can't interrupt it. A sudden interference at this time will cause problems."
"Jerris, I'm not joking with you!" Long Dan'ni opened the Sky News. "Li Hao is too arrogant. He can't expect everyone to be like him. If something happens, none of you can bear the responsibility."
Jerris glanced at Long Dan'ni, a curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. Meeting her is not as good as hearing about her. Long Dan'ni is nothing more than this. She's been sitting comfortably for too long, and her vision and judgment are declining.
"Principal Long, it's not time yet. You are an elite, but you are an elite who came from ordinary people. Perhaps your current power is very strong, but it's different from the path of a genius. Our Path of Enlightenment is about constantly exploring the limits of power and ability. This is nothing." Jerris shrugged innocently. "Besides, it can't be stopped now."
A trace of anger flashed in Long Dan'ni's eyes. She was obviously very dissatisfied with Jerris, but the other party was from the Academy of Sciences and not subordinate to her, so she could only suppress her temper. "Jerris, don't exaggerate too much. That was a long time ago. Enlightenment is the wisdom of the Alliance, and the individual is insignificant. He's just a student from Tianjing. He can't represent anything, and he can't bear anything!"
The corner of Jerris's mouth twisted, revealing a hint of mockery. "Heh, heh, is that so? Then you are ignorant. On Enlightenment Street in the Alliance, ask around who's the daddy. Tianjing is really nothing!"
"Oh? Could he compare to Chao Qinglong?" Long Dan'ni said with a bit of contempt.
"Hmph, you're making a fuss over nothing, Second Bro..." Jerris couldn't tolerate others insulting or misunderstanding his Second Bro, especially people like Long Dan'ni who were so close.
But Jerris stopped abruptly, staring blankly at Long Dan'ni. "Principal Long, you're trying to trick me?! That's not fair!!!"
Long Dan'ni looked at Jerris innocently. "Ah, am I?"
Jerris was speechless. Damn it, someone with this status actually used this kind of trick. He really got tricked without even realizing it.
Long Dan'ni smiled. "That kid is very lazy. I need to know what he can do so I can give him support."
Jerris rolled his eyes. He thought his IQ was super high, and he often pretended to play with others, but he messed up this time. He was simply an idiot. Long Dan'ni came back from the battlefield and faced giant worms before. Either she wouldn't have agreed at all, or she would have agreed because she had some idea of what was going on. There was no need to ask. He was too stupid and was played.
... "Jerris, tell me, don't be so stingy. Tianjing is really in trouble now. The capable should do more." Long Dan'ni said with a smile.
Jerris quickly distanced himself from Long Dan'ni. "No, I don't know anything."
Even without a gag order, if the hunters of the past had any experience or lessons, it would definitely be not to trust the capable to do more.
Tan Ziyuan and Lu Lingxiao looked at each other. The two girls also knew that Li Hao was not ordinary. After all, Orffie, Tita, and the others were not ordinary people. They were not ordinary now, and in the future, they would be even further apart from them. They were all existences who would enter the highest echelons of humanity in the future, but many things still made them feel unbelievable.
What exactly had Li Hao done?
What was Enlightenment? They had searched for it, but there wasn't a single word about it.
Not to mention them, even Long Dan'ni didn't have any information available with her level of access.
Tan Ziyuan looked at Li Hao in the field. What... what had he done to make these unruly geniuses so respectful, that even time couldn't erase it?
Li Hao didn't feel anything, but the other five were all hovering on the edge of their limits. Huo Ying's body was infinitely tense, gritting his teeth. He refused to back down, but his mental strength was the worst. Like a frog being boiled in warm water, once he reached his limit, his mind would collapse directly.
Just as he was about to not be able to hold on, suddenly, all the pressure disappeared.
Huo Ying fell straight to the ground, followed by Zhou Nayi and Ma Long. Wu Zang was also panting heavily, his body trembling uncontrollably. After a few seconds, Zuo Xiaotang came to his senses, and then... he sat down on the ground with a thud.
It was like taking a big breath after drowning, his eyes almost popping out.
In the observation room, Long Dan'ni's pupils contracted violently. She had faced giant worms before, whether piloting a mech or in a damaged mech.
Wu Zang and the others didn't have the energy to look around, but Long Dan'ni could see clearly that at the moment Li Hao walked in front of everyone and blocked the giant worm, the pressure on everyone disappeared completely.
And Li Hao... was actually facing away from the giant worm. The giant worm, which had just been frantically waving its claws and teeth, seemed to be tired of shouting, and roared low as it gathered its strength, but did not continue to roar.
Those who didn't understand didn't understand, but Long Dan'ni felt a deep shock.
Jerris didn't speak, repeatedly tapping the side of his glasses a few times. In his vision, everyone's body data was presented in three dimensions, and at this time, Li Hao had set up a golden wall between them and the giant worm.
—Beautiful Kepler Planet, Andare Human Base No. 5.
Humans have established a total of five long-term bases on Kepler Planet. Each base has a different nature. The four major federations each own one, and Base No. 5 belongs to the Solar System Alliance Council. The other four bases have very high security levels. The Andare Base is relatively relaxed. In the early days, it even received some business groups, but now only people with special passes can arrive.
This time, the business group also included many big names in various fields, some researchers, and some members of major commercial organizations. The purpose of this visit was to investigate subsequent investments and evaluate the situation on Kepler. Kepler is undoubtedly a treasure land, but how to invest, where to invest, when to invest, and so on all require comprehensive investigation.
....A Youyou had been wanting to draw inspiration for her new song from Kepler for a long time. What she saw in the (simulation) was somewhat ethereal. A Youyou also tried several angles to compose and write lyrics, but it felt very different. This was also the reason why A Youyou wanted to come in person.
Each person who arrives at the base is assigned a safety bracelet with three safety levels. Inside the base, it is blue, which is safe. Within five kilometers of the base, it is orange, which is somewhat dangerous. Once you leave the base, it turns red, indicating that you are likely to be attacked by giant worms at any time.
The base's facilities are mainly focused on safety. The overall style is okay. After encountering giant worms in battle, the Alliance also adjusted its strategy, adopting a steady approach. Before understanding the situation of the giant worms, they did not intend to be rash. Without blind expansion, resources are still keeping up.
Su Yu was very busy. As a professional manager, she wasn't here to play. She also carried the family's inspection mission. In fact, A Youyou was just tagging along. Any investment here is measured in "trillions," but the returns are quite harsh.
Because of the special nature of Kepler, the Alliance is also using Kepler to fish, with particularly strict requirements for capital. It has also seized the psychology of wanting to enter early, which makes Su Yu feel that there is no short-term value. In the long run, the risk is also extremely high. One mistake and you will be working for others. Whether to invest or not still needs to be carefully considered.
At the same time, Su Yu personally wanted to try her luck and see if she could get a Heart of the Ocean. In fact, the collection of Hearts of the Ocean has always existed, and they have been discovered one after another, but they have all been directly confiscated by the Alliance. Only those who are particularly lucky will have one leak out. She had been here for three days and had seen one, but it was not for sale at all.
Even if it's just a small one embedded in jewelry, it will become the most dazzling star at the banquet. At Su Yu's position, especially as a delicate woman, that's what she cares about, and she feels it even more strongly than A Youyou.
A Youyou had been active in the base for these three days. The guidance facilities here are very convenient. A Youyou successfully hooked up with a little cutie while eating in the restaurant. They were the only two people of similar age in the entire base, and they hit it off immediately.
"A Youyou, the tree in front of you is a giant fern plant. It has become extinct on Earth. They can only survive in pure air. They appeared in the plateau area of the Asian continent hundreds of years ago. These caterpillar-like things are their seeds. They are very, very beautiful. They can be traced back to the age of dinosaurs." Polina said happily, her baby-fat face filled with joy. It had been a long time since she had seen someone her own age.
Polina is the "favorite" of Base No. 5.
A Youyou was also shocked by the otherworldly beauty of the ferns, which gave her a feeling of traversing time and space. The girl in front of her was about her age, but she was already a top biologist, a member of the Alliance-level genius program. "I have a question. Isn't Kepler a silicon-based lifeform? How can there be carbon-based plants?"
"Oh, I forgot, this is still unreleased information. The areas we discovered early on were indeed silicon-based lifeforms, but Base No. 2 took the lead in discovering carbon-based areas, and they are very large in scale. The plants and animals are all carbon-based, with a rich variety. What's even more amazing is that we found that they have a certain similarity to Earth. We are still studying it further to see if it contains some kind of law of cosmic life." Polina was a bit of a chatterbox. The white coat couldn't completely hide her somewhat exaggeratedly full breasts. A childish face, a heavy body, but looking at Polina's appearance, it seemed that this was a big worry that caused her to be too afraid to hold her head up and walk with her chest out. "A Youyou, how do you usually maintain your figure? Why are you so thin?"
"You're not fat either."
Polina showed uncontrollable envy, her small eyes a little resentful. "I have an easy-to-gain-weight physique. I usually eat very little, and I'm busy most of the time, but I still gain weight even from drinking water."
"You've grown in all the right places!" A Youyou was a little envious.
