Chapter 67: The Mysterious Island
Li Zhen looked at her and sat up: "The secret that can't be said? ”
"Yes, of course." Beichuan laughed softly, frowned again, turned around and spat out the salty sea water in his mouth, "It was the teacher who brought me here." I was eleven years old. It was for me to ...... Adaptive training. Anyway, it's a bit of a hassle, and it's about making me feel like I'm going from having to nothing—because I'm almost born with psionic powers. But it was useful, and my abilities did get stronger after that experience. But if you ask me, 'What does it limit our abilities?' I don't have an answer. ”
"A lot of modern technology detectors don't work here, only mechanical instruments can function properly. The area of this island is not small, and it is an oval shape that tends to be perfectly round. The effect of the ability is limited and solidified here. For example, the egg I shot earlier - the ice made by psionic energy is still effective. At the moment, no one has been able to break them down. But something else, like my appearance, had changed due to the influence of psionic powers, and now it was back to the way it was. For example, you, who were almost completely controlled by Chiyou's will before, have returned to normal here. ”
Li Zhen lowered his head and thought about it, and smiled: "So you brought me here to save me." ”
Kitagawa Harumi rubbed his hair. This gesture made her look like a little girl who matched her age: "I made it up." I have to be responsible for you. If it weren't for your help...... You won't be attacked by Ueno Kanyanagi and cause so much trouble. ”
She gave Li Zhen a deep look and stood up. Bowed: "I'm sorry." ”
"Alas. That's it. Li Zhen waved his hand, "You didn't think that guy was ......"
"But I'm in real trouble. Did we knock out two of our fighter jets? And I ......," he frowned, grabbing a handful of damp sand and holding it in his palm, "and knocked out another airliner and killed people in the city." ”
"The airliner should be fine. Destroy an engine, and crash landing. As for the other two things...... "Kitagawa Harumi bit his lip, "you have diplomatic immunity." Or, I can take responsibility for it. ”
"It's not a responsibility. It's my heart......" Li Zhen smiled slightly bitterly, wrapped Beichuan's combat uniform jacket around his waist and stood up, "Don't talk about that." Like you said. You shouldn't have lied to me in the first place. But since you've worked so hard to get me here—just answer me one more question. We're done. ”
Kitagawa Qingming straightened his waist: "You say." ”
"Is Yu Qingqing at the door of truth? How is she doing now? ”
"She's at the door of truth." Kitagawa nodded, "I have a ...... too own intelligence network. ”
She said this with a little bit of confidence - because it was the information that Kanyanagi Ueno had given her. I just didn't think of it...... The spies sent by the Heart Society were turned against him. But as far as this matter is concerned, she has also confirmed it through other channels. So she continued: "She was taken by the night kite—the same lady you once met. When she was in Shennongjia, she was working with the people of the Gate of Truth. I didn't know what happened to Yu Qingqing before. He felt that the child had a great appetite for her, so he adopted her. Later, the night kite went to the United States and brought her with her. ”
"But the Gates of Truth are the kind of places. After all, it is not a normal person. As a child of her size, I think it could be dangerous. ”
"Is it adoption and not some other purpose?" Li Zhen tightened the sleeves of his shirt around his waist and paced slowly for a few steps.
"That's for sure. It is said that the night kite is quite good to her...... It's almost time to catch up with my biological mother. ”
Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, and smiled slightly: "Then I can rest assured for the time being." Qingqing is not an ordinary child. I knew she would let herself survive. All the way up to ...... I rescued her. It's just that I didn't expect the night kite, hehe, such a woman to be kind. ”
Kitagawa Qingming smiled: "She is a woman after all. ”
Li Zhen waved his hand, and took a few steps forward to look around the entire island: "Okay, let's solve the matter in front of you first—you said that your ability will be limited within five thousand meters of this island, then we will swim out." Do you not know how to swim or ......?"
Beichuan's face flushed slightly: "Of course I will." It's just that I didn't have the strength just now. ”
The sound of "grunt" rang out. Li Zhen was slightly stunned and pointed to his stomach: "Me? ”
"Hmm."
"Okay." "We have to recharge our strength first," he said. You should still have nutrients in your combat suit......"
"It's better not to use it. We don't know how long I'll be here. Kitagawa Qingming frowned slightly, "It's better to stay until the critical moment." ”
Li Zhen looked at the sea behind him—the sea was shallow on the beach, extremely clear. At the top, there is white foam, followed by light green, emerald-like water. After that, the color changes to a pale blue, and you can see the corals, reefs, and colorful swimming fish underneath.
If you ignore the color, the water is completely transparent - the morning sun shines on the shadows of the swimming fish on the white sand below, as if swimming in the air.
It's a cosy and welcoming environment......
"Why do you say that I don't know how long I will stay here?" Li Zhen frowned, "Let's go to the mountain to get that egg, and then swim out of the canopy - five thousand meters is not far away." ”
Kitagawa Qingming worriedly followed Li Zhen's gaze into the distance. Blue sky and white clouds, sunshine and birds, a row of peaceful and tranquil scenes. However, she sighed softly: "When you came, did you notice that there were shadows in the water?" ”
Li Zhen thought for a moment: "Hmm." I thought it was a big fish...... Big fish like whales. ”
"Not a whale." Kitagawa Qingming shook his head, "It's a sea snake." Big, big sea serpents. ”
Li Zhen was stunned: "You ...... No kidding? A mysterious island guarded by a giant sea serpent...... I think we've crossed over into the world of scavenger hunts. ”
Kitagawa Qingming rubbed his forehead: "I hope you are seeing that sea snake now...... No, it's those sea snakes who can still be so optimistic. ”
Li Zhen laughed: "Don't rub it like that." I rubbed it a lot, and it turned out to be. Afraid of what—I'm the one who died once. There's nothing more terrifying than being trapped in a coffin and unable to move. There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain—let's get something to eat first, and then we'll look for the egg. ”
Beichuan looked at him strangely: "You...... Not quite right. ”
Li Zhen had already walked over to a coconut tree in the distance: "It's just that I'm in a better mood." ”
"This situation ...... Feeling good? ”
"Anyway, I can't get out for the time being. There are many things that you don't have to think about. A faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of Li Zhen's mouth, "There are very few opportunities like this." ”
He was going to climb trees. Unfortunately, my body was still sore and weak, and I almost fell off a few times. Beichuan stood under the tree and pursed his lips and looked at him, Li Zhen felt that he couldn't lose face at such a time. So he asked for Kitagawa's belt - although he was a little embarrassed, it was much easier to use the belt to tie it to the trunk of the tree.
I didn't know if the coconut was ripe or not, so he picked a few big ones and punched them. After panting and busy for a while, four heavy fruits finally fell to the ground. So he slowly slid down again and asked Beichuan, "Can you eat it?" It's not autumn yet. ”
Beichuan Qingming pulled out the short saber he carried from his combat uniform, pursed his lips and smiled: "Coconuts are bearing fruit all year round, almost." ”
Li Zhen always has better luck when it comes to eating. The coconut is ripe and has a good taste.
It's just that the two of them once again experienced the powerlessness of being ordinary people - just opening the coconut shell took a lot of effort for the two of them. And an hour ago...... Lee can really melt steel raw.
He took a big gulp, ate some more coconut meat, and looked into the distance with his hands. The almost semi-circular summit is lush with vegetation and birdsong. The food source seems to be a no-brainer, however......
What is that?
In the distance, on top of the mountaintop forest, a bird about the size of a swallow appeared.
Li Zhen slowly stood up.
"It's about the same size as a swallow", is Li Zhen's first impression at the current distance. Or rather, the bird was a thousand meters away from him, and its figure was about the size of a swallow.
For example, people see Boeing airliners whizzing by on the ground......
It's about the size of a swallow.
Kitagawa Harumi noticed his actions, followed him as well, and then let out a soft "ah".
"You've seen this too?" Li Zhen asked in a low voice.
Kitagawa Muran said: "No. Seven years ago...... The birds on this island are indeed slightly larger, but this ......"
It should be three meters long and nearly twenty meters in wingspan - what is this?
Li Zhen subconsciously grabbed Beichuan's hand and avoided under the three coconut trees next to him. Then he noticed that the huge bird had been hovering for a while over the dense forest at the top of the mountain, as if looking for prey. Then he flapped his wings and swept towards the sea.
Li Zhen frowned and watched it go away, and said softly: "At this time, even if a tyrannosaurus runs out of the woods, I won't be surprised." ”
"The scope has expanded...... The bird also grew bigger. Kitagawa Qingming muttered, then raised his head to look at Li Zhen, "Do you think it has anything to do with large-scale evolution, or that aurora?" ”
But Li Zhen didn't answer her.
Because his eyes had been drawn to something else.
Far away on the sea, the sea water suddenly stirred.
It was as if something below the surface of the water was swimming and entangled. There was even a small whirlpool on the calm sea, and the giant bird that was hovering above the surface of the sea noticed the anomaly, let out a long and leisurely call, and flew diagonally. (To be continued.) )
