Chapter 34: A Magical Journey
Early the next morning, Luo Fei came to Steve's apartment, they had already agreed yesterday that they would visit Xiaoyao Island today, and Luo Fei also wanted to see what Steve's expression would show when he saw the appearance of Xiaoyao Island.
In order to impress Steve, this trip, Luo Fei is not going to use teleportation directly, he will drive the Ranger to start this magical journey.
In order to facilitate the parking of the two unmanned cruise ships, the Ranger and the Paradise Island, Luo Fei specially built a private dock, which reduced the number of places that ordinary people found that the two ships were different.
When Steve saw the Cruiser, although he was a little surprised that Luo Fei had such a luxury cruise ship, he was not yet amazed, after all, he had a certain psychological preparation for the wealth that Luo Fei could accumulate over the years.
After the two of them walked aboard the Cruiser, Steve felt incredible, he had never heard of unmanned ships, you know, even small drones are still in the experimental stage.
When Steve came to the stern of the ship, he found that the ship did not have a power room, and he was not mistaken, the cruiser did not have any mechanical power equipment, and all the power of the whole ship was completed by the formation.
After the two of them had gone all the way and looked through the entire ship and all the rooms, Steve really believed that this was the most amazing ship he had ever seen.
Once on deck, Steve couldn't help but ask curiously, "Without propellers, without sails, could this ship be powered by magic?" Or is it divine power? ”
"It's neither magic nor divine power, this is a formation that uses the power of nature, using the power of nature to propel the ship, in fact, there is no essential difference between using a sail, but the use of a formation is more technical."
"I don't believe it's a technological creation, maybe it's an extraterrestrial technology. Luo, you can't fool me. ”
"Hahaha!" After looking at Steve's determined look, Luo Fei couldn't help laughing: "Okay, whatever you think, let's take a look at a more magical scene." ”
As soon as Luo Fei's words fell, the whole ship began to sink slowly, and Steve didn't feel anything at first, until he realized that the water had overflowed the side of the ship, and a magical scene appeared.
The sea water was obviously higher than the height of the ship's side, but it seemed to be blocked by a barrier, and it did not rush into the ship, and when Steve approached the edge of the ship, he touched it with his hand and found that there was an invisible membrane blocking the seawater, and it seemed that the whole ship had been protected by a transparent protective film.
Now that the whole ship has completely dived into the sea, Steve is standing on the deck and watching the fish swim around him, this is the first time for him to experience such a novelty.
"Luo, I have to say, you gave me a great shock today, this ship is the most amazing ship I have ever seen, I ask by the way, can this ship fly?"
"It's a pity that you can't fly", Luo Fei poured a glass of wine, handed it to Steve and said: "In the sea, the ocean current can provide unlimited power to the ship, but if you want it to fly, if you don't consider artificially increasing the power system, you can only rely on wind or lightning to do power, but the wind is not always there; The movement of the thunder and lightning was too loud, and it was impossible for the ship to move forward with a cumulonimbus cloud all the time, which was too abnormal. That's why I didn't let it fly. ”
"It's a shame," Steve said, shaking the glass on his hand, "Director Fury, he wants me to join a global security department, he said that although the whole world seems to be peaceful now, there are still many regional conflicts and illegal organizations, so he wants me to participate in the task of maintaining peace." You know Fury better than I do, so, I'd like to hear your opinion. ”
After Luo Fei looked at Steve's eyes, he said a little discouraged: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart, then ask me what to do, I originally wanted to invite you to live on Xiaoyao Island permanently, it seems that you will not be happy." ”
"Runaway Island? Our destination this time? I don't know what kind of place it is, but if it's as amazing as you say, I'll change my mind. ”
"Steve, although you are going to participate in a peacekeeping mission, it is best to investigate the matter clearly in advance, even in S.H.I.E.L.D. there are a lot of invisible darkness, so you must be careful, maybe some actions are these dark forces doing bad things through the shell of justice."
After listening to Luo Fei's words, Steve also understood that things were not as simple as they seemed: "Can Fury be trusted?" ”
"On the whole, he is a good person, but he acts a little extremely, and he likes to use force to speak, if this is taken advantage of by someone with a heart, it is likely to cause extremely serious consequences."
"Since he's a good guy, it means that he can be trusted, and I'll pay attention to the problem of making mistakes."
"If you have any questions, you can always come to me."
Regarding the issue of S.H.I.E.L.D., Luo Fei did not have a deep discussion with Steve, when Hydra did not fully reveal his influence, Fury just regarded it as a controllable pawn, but in fact it was the opposite.
But Luo Fei didn't have the heart to care about S.H.I.E.L.D., it was rotten to the root now, and no matter how much he saved it, it would be useless, so in the end, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra were finished together, and that was the best ending.
"Come on, Steve, let's not talk about those unpleasant topics, it's time to eat, and I've got a seafood feast for you. Lobster, king crab, tuna, guaranteed to flow out if you deduct it. ”
The three-day sea journey allowed Steve to see all kinds of beautiful scenery on the sea and under the sea, so when the Cruiser came to the waters near Runaway Island, he was stunned by the harsh environment in front of him.
In Luo Fei's statement, Xiaoyao Island is a blue sky, clear water and white sandy beaches, and there are various coral reefs and tropical fish in the sea, which is completely a 5A-level tourist attraction.
But what was the sight in front of me, the sky was as thick as ink, the clouds were overcast, the thunder and lightning flashed erratically in mid-air, and it would not be a few seconds before it would split on the island.
The outer part of the island is high in winds and waves, and there are many rocks scattered out of the waterline, and if the ship comes close, there is a good chance that the ship will run aground and sink.
The whole island is full of cliffs, not to mention a place to park a boat, or a place to stay, so if you want to go to the island, you must prepare climbing tools.
The Ranger slowly drove through this harsh sea, and although the waves were rolling beside it, the whole ship was still very smooth, and it was not at all obvious that it was driving on the undulating sea, but like a car driving on the road.
At this point, Steve noticed this, and he didn't know if it was because of the Ranger's good stability or something else, but he saw that the ship was crashing into a rock outcropping out of the sea.
"Luo, turn the bow of the ship quickly, we're going to hit the rocks!"
As if he hadn't heard, Luo Fei let the boat sail in the direction of the rocks, and just as the boat was about to collide, Steve clung to the railing of the boat to prevent him from falling out of the boat in the event of a collision.
It's just that after waiting for a while, he didn't feel the collision coming, as if there was no collision at all, "It's like a hallucination." ”
Steve walked up to Luo Fei: "The rock just now is an illusion?" ”
"Yes, you can understand it that way, of course not all of these rocks are hallucinations, but some of them are real."
"So these wind and waves, dark clouds, and black sky are also illusions?"
"It can only be said to be partially true."
"How did you do it, it's incredible, it's unheard of to use instruments to completely camouflage the entire island!"
Well, Steve still treats the effects produced by the formation as high-tech products, although the two are fundamentally different, but the effect they achieve looks similar on the outside.
Steve watched as the Ranger sailed straight ahead, as if the waves and rocks were not there, and there was no sign of slowing down until the ship approached the island.
Looking at the rock wall getting closer and closer, Steve understood that this was just an illusion, although he thought so in his heart, but he couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw the ship crashing straight into the rock wall.
It wasn't until he felt the sunlight that he couldn't help but open his eyes, and then he was captivated by the beauty in front of him.
This is the real island of escape, with blue skies, white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, and a variety of tropical fish frolicking in the coral reefs.
Now Steve understands why Luo Fei said that this is the most beautiful place he has ever seen, and after comparing the harsh environment just now, this place can indeed be regarded as a paradise.
It's just that although the environment here is beautiful, there are no people on the beach, and there are no other artificial facilities here except for a wooden pier.
"It's not a day off, so there's no one here, and it's the most lively day until the day of the day off."
"Do people here also need to work on their days off?"
Luo Fei took Steve off the boat and explained: "No, most of the people here are mutants, and after they improve their abilities to a certain level in the junior mutant school, they need to come here to exercise how to control their abilities, this is a place to improve their ability and control, because they are overseas, so even if something goes wrong, it will not affect the people around them." Besides, most of the people here are mutants, and they have a greater sense of identity with each other. They practice for the same amount of time as they do in school, working on their abilities from Monday to Friday and having a break on Saturday and Sunday. ”
"So we're here at the wrong time?"
