Chapter 3 "Fellow Countryman"
Having said this, Major General Fiji smiled, picked up the cup beside him, and took a sip of water.
"All of this sounds magical, but it's actually very simple. It's like if you need to create a vortex, you just poke a hole in the bottom of a water-filled basin. If you think of the positive energy in the universe as water, then the pyramid is that punctured basin. It is merely a tool that conforms to the special laws of the universe's positive energy."
"The reason you find it mysterious is simply that you have no understanding of cosmic energy, just like a primitive man who suddenly sees a lion killed by a gun would find that gun very mysterious."
Fang Senyan's eyes narrowed. He had to admit that Major General Fiji was a talkative person and had shown him enough friendliness, but after hearing the last analogy he made, Fang Senyan didn't know why, but he always felt a faint hint of sarcasm in it, and he immediately became vaguely vigilant.
At this time, Major General Fiji's aircraft had passed the identity scan and flew into the pyramid. Of course, the interior of this enormous pyramid did not have huge stones, cobwebs, gloomy rooms, and seeping yellow sand, but appeared clean and bright, with everything in good order. After getting off the aircraft, there was another routine inspection, and then the military police led the way to the depths of the base.
The surroundings of the停机坪 were densely packed with crisscrossing corridors, like a maze. However, the floor of the corridor was so clean that it could reflect images. Without someone to lead the way, getting lost was inevitable.
From time to time, uniformed office workers walked nervously along the corridors. When they saw this group of people, they stopped to salute. Every few meters in the corridor, there were green potted plants with large, verdant leaves, full of vitality. The air was filled with a pleasant, fresh fragrance.
After walking for about five minutes, the military police led the group onto an elevator. Fang Senyan noticed that the destination was the 27th floor. Obviously, the higher up in the pyramid building, the smaller the usable area. However, the more "positive cosmic energy" gathered there.
The 27th floor was neither too high nor too low, which showed that the higher-ups were quite serious about this operation. At least it wasn't like sending beggars away casually.
After arriving on the 27th floor, Major General Fiji brought Fang Senyan to the door of a room numbered 501. He said solemnly:
"Lieutenant Colonel, I'm very sorry, the conditions at the Alps 7 base are limited. This is the best accommodation we can provide. From now until the mission begins, you will be sharing a room with another contractor."
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"Sir, it's nothing."
Then Fang Senyan began a series of handover procedures with the military police next to him. It seemed that the整训 would take at least a few days, so Fang Senyan was also given a temporary access card. This card was not only an identity card, but also contained a prescribed consumption quota (similar to currency) based on Fang Senyan's rank, and naturally, it also opened up the extra privileges of an Imperial Lieutenant Colonel.
Then Fang Senyan opened the door. It seemed that another contractor had already moved in. He was sitting next to the bed, covering his head with a white hooded jumpsuit, looking mysteriously indifferent. He immediately turned his head when he heard the door opening.
Their eyes met, and they both exclaimed in surprise, saying in unison:
"It's you?"
It turned out that Fang Senyan had met none other than Reef's acquaintance, Zi's former subordinate, that guy named Aldaris!
To meet an acquaintance from the same nightmare space here really had the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Although it didn't quite reach the point of "old friends meeting, eyes full of tears," some small芥蒂 and unpleasantness would definitely dissipate. Besides, there wasn't originally any conflict between Fang Senyan and Aldaris?
Aldaris was also executing this type of mission for the first time, so he talked with Fang Senyan in detail. He held the rank of Reserve Lieutenant General, so he wasn't directly notified like Fang Senyan, but rather drew this mission in a lottery after completing a very difficult rank mission.
Fang Senyan thought of the series of treatments he had suffered before and couldn't help but glance at Aldaris's lower body.
"Weren't you harassed by that Major Lekri when you came?"
Aldaris was stunned and said:
"Who is Major Lekri?"
Then he said disdainfully:
"The people here are a bit cold and arrogant, but killing them is as easy as crushing ants. Would they dare to make things difficult for me?"
Fang Senyan thought for a moment and said:
"When you landed, which entrance did you enter this Alps base from?"
If it were an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't be able to answer Fang Senyan's question, but for contractors who had to struggle on the edge of life and death most of the time, observing details was an essential part. Therefore, Aldaris quickly answered:
"It should be entrance -3. Why, is there a problem?"
"I met that bastard at entrance a-18. He should be glad he didn't meet you, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance to groan in bed." Fang Senyan said lightly. "By the way, how long have you been in this damn place?"
Aldaris said:
"About twelve hours. You're considered late. The time now should be 7:16 PM. If I remember correctly, midnight tonight is the deadline. By the way, I just heard the breathing of several people outside the door. Weren't you brought by a waiter?"
Fang Senyan shook his head and said:
"After I left a little gift for the major who tried to take off my pants, it inevitably caused some trouble. A person called Black General solved everything. He claimed to be a member of our training team and then brought me to your side."
"Damn it! Don't say it so disgusting, okay? What do you mean by bringing you to my side?" Aldaris said with a disgusted face, "Only that damn major would be interested in your ass."
Speaking of this, Aldaris suddenly frowned and said:
"What did you just say? Our training team? Who can be my instructor? And aren't we here to perform a mission?"
Fang Senyan gave him a contemptuous look and said:
"Have you been jerking off for the whole twelve hours you've been here? Why do I, who just arrived here less than an hour ago, know more information than you?"
Aldaris was also a person who didn't admit defeat. He snorted coldly and drew a circle on the carpet with his toes. Fang Senyan noticed that there were small static sparks flashing in the places where Aldaris's toes had drawn.
"What you know is only what's inside this circle. What I know is what's outside this circle!"
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"I can talk big too."
Aldaris snorted coldly and said:
"Do you know where our destination is this time?"
"Of course, it's the Epsilon Eridani planet." Fang Senyan smiled.
Aldaris said proudly:
"That planet is less than five light-years away from here. If we take the fastest aircraft, we can reach it in four hours. However, that damn place has a magnetic field interference that's as crazy as a banshee's wail, and it also generates very strong impact force due to electromagnetic effects. Therefore, after losing thirty-seven senior pilots in succession, it has been regarded as a no-fly zone by the air force pilots."
"Great, do those bastards up there expect us to run to that damn place?" Fang Senyan couldn't help but swear, but he immediately pondered:
"Could it be that the so-called training is to teach us how to fly so we can drive the spaceship over there to die?"
Aldaris looked at Fang Senyan without speaking, but his smugness was already palpable. Obviously, he had not been doing nothing for the eleven hours he had arrived early. But at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Their eyes met, and they knew that the person knocking on the door had nothing to do with the other, but the door still had to be opened.
When the door was opened, they saw a tall and sturdy man who looked like Morpheus from the Matrix standing at the door, with thick fingers, thick lips, and a pair of shiny sunglasses. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. When he saw Fang Senyan coming out, he pointed his finger at his face and said:
"Meeting in the conference hall in ten minutes."
After saying that, he turned around and left decisively. However, just as Fang Senyan was about to close the door, the man suddenly turned his neck, took off his sunglasses, stared into Fang Senyan's eyes, and said in a heavy nasal voice:
"Forgot to introduce myself, Hedi Curry, Imperial Major, Awakener M, currently temporarily appointed as the captain of this team - if possible, please convey all my words to your roommate."
Fang Senyan nodded and said:
"I will."
Hedi Curry nodded in satisfaction, took out a cigar, lit it, took a deep puff, and finally waved at Fang Senyan before leaving, as a basic recognition of his sensible behavior.
Fang Senyan stared at his back and suddenly showed a smile.
