Chapter 10 Dangerous Relationships
It was an easy task to kill Ran Xiangtian, because his level was too far behind He Huaibi.
He Huai didn't need to show his abilities at all, he only needed a hand knife to kill Ran Xiangtian with one blow; However, in order to avoid blood on his hands and clothes, He Huai still used a cold weapon that he picked up when he did it.
The hand rises and the knife falls, and the head falls to the ground.
Ran Xiangtian died a happy death, neither suffering any additional pain, nor becoming someone else's food after death; Perhaps for him, it is also a good thing and a relief to be able to usher in such an ending.
"You have a lot of questions for me, right?" After He Huai finished dealing with Ran Xiangtian, he threw the weapon casually, raised his voice and said this.
His voice lagged behind, and after about five seconds, Yan Wuxian's figure appeared in his sight.
"You should know what I'm going to ask." Yan Wuxian walked out of the forest and said calmly, "You tell me what you can tell me, or what you want to tell me...... Just tell me about it. ”
Hearing this, He Huai pushed the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, thought for a few seconds, and then responded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll introduce myself first......" He paused for half a second, and then said, "The contemptible surname is He Minghuai, and his identity is not a civil servant as mentioned before, but a staff officer under the command of Juezun, known as 'designer'." ”
"Oh, I'm glad I did." Yan Wuxian continued in an insincere tone.
"Huh...... You're welcome. He Huai said, "Although you are not familiar with me, I have been following you for a long time, and as the third 'qualified' of the 'Heavenly Chosen Island', I have great expectations for you." ”
"Hmm...... Before you explain this so-called 'Chosen Island', can you tell me how the previous two 'qualified' are doing? Yan said without injury.
"Heh......" He Huai chuckled, "Don't worry, it's very good, you just listen to me." ”
Yan Wuxian shrugged his shoulders and motioned for the other party to continue with an expression that seemed to say, "Then you can say it".
He Huai also quickly continued: "It was about fifteen years ago...... At that time, I was still working in the Federation, and I was a well-known scientist. However, because of the corruption of the federal government from the inside out, from top to bottom, in all aspects...... It's very difficult to do something practical within that system.
"A lot of resources are invested in a bunch of people who can only slap the horse and talk about seniority, who are either doing pie-like projects that are unlikely to make the slightest progress for decades to cheat out money, or providing boring projects for the elite that cater to the needs of perverted pleasures.
"A doer like me can only do research with meager funds, several times the effort, and struggle......
And when I finally achieved a little bit of success, the so-called leaders who not only did not help me at all, but also created a lot of resistance for me, would swarm like locusts and shamelessly divide my honor and achievements.
"I was ...... at that time Very angry, but powerless to change anything. Just when I was discouraged and about to join the crowd, I met the most important Bole in my life, Lord Juezun. ”
When he said this, he showed an extremely reverent expression, and it seemed that he truly admired his master.
"And he asked you to help him design and build the place we're in now?" Yan Wuxian said at the right time, "Are you sure this is not the same thing as the 'perverted hedonistic needs' you just mentioned?" ”
"Watch your wording! Yan was unharmed. He Huai suddenly said sharply, "I don't allow others to slander Lord Juezun like this." He paused for a second and explained, "It wasn't his intention to create this 'Chosen Island', but I took the initiative. All he did was trust me unconditionally and gave me almost unlimited resources at my disposal to move the project forward. ”
"So you think this is a story of 'a capable minister meets a master'?" Yan said without injury.
"Don't you think so?" He Huai asked rhetorically.
"Go on." Yan Wuxian responded.
Although Yan Wuxian's true opinion on this matter in his heart was that "a mad scientist met a super Kaizi who tried to use him", he didn't say it because he was afraid that he hadn't gotten enough information, so he would be angry.
"You may not be able to fully understand what you say, so let you 'take a look' directly." He Huai immediately said in a show-off tone, and raised his hand to point to the sky.
At this moment, the blue sky and white clouds above the jungle and the scorching sun in the sky suddenly disappeared, and a huge metal dome appeared.
"The 'Heavenly Chosen Island' is divided into three parts...... "He Huai's words continued, "The first part is the energy base located above the sea surface, which not only supplies energy to the facilities on the entire island, but also shields and screens various signals from the earth's surface and satellite orbits, and the 'clouds' generated by its operation are just enough to hide the island."
"The second part is the genetic laboratory, which is located below sea level, and it is also the place where I spend the most time on weekdays. There, I did in just three years what I couldn't do in 30 years in the federal system, I created a large number of endangered and extinct species that lived for more than five years, and I managed to develop some 'interesting new breeds'......"
Hearing this, Yan Wuxian couldn't help but interject: "I'm quite familiar with your research results, so I don't need to go into details." ”
"Hehe......" He Huai smiled knowingly, and continued, "And the third part is this virtual jungle."
"From the outside, this part is a spherical facility located deep under the sea, and its diameter is only a dozen kilometers; But internally...... I designed it to be like the Penrose Ladder, so in theory, it's as big as a whole planet, whether it's the ability to fly, the ability to speed up, or even the ability to teleport...... There is no escape. ”
Yan Wuxian laughed dryly: "Hmph...... I see. He seemed to think of something suddenly, "So, the daily 'airdrop', to put it bluntly, is that you drop supplies directly from the passage connecting the 'second part' to the 'third part' of the island, and then play us a sound effect of a plane passing by, right?" ”
He Huai continued: "That's right, speaking of which...... I downloaded the sound effect from a random search on the Internet. ”
"Hmm......" Yan Wuxian groaned, and then said, "Actually, in the first few days I came here, I had already found that the sound of the plane flying by every day was exactly the same, plus the 'broadcast sound from the sky', I roughly guessed that this was some kind of special space, but I didn't expect it to be 'cyclically connected', if I had known earlier...... I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of trekking with a few people for a month in a row. ”
"Judging from the results, it's pretty good." He Huai continued, "It was that month that made you raise your ability to the peak of the fierce level, didn't it?" ”
"So here's the problem...... Yan Wuxian asked, "You said that I am a 'qualified person', and the basis should be that my ability has broken through to a certain extent, right?" Yan Wuxian heard all the conversations between Ran Xiangtian and He Huai before, and He Huai also knew this, "However, compared with that time, I haven't improved much now, right?" Why did you wait until now to show up? If you're trying to get me to break through, you shouldn't 'reset' the island again, but you should cast stronger monsters to test me, right? ”
"Heh......" He Huai smiled, "You might as well try to think about this question from another angle, I think you should be able to think of the answer." ”
After being reminded by him, Yan Wuxian thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Oh...... Is it the reason for time? ”
"That's right." He Huai nodded, "The screening is not just for you alone, all the people you meet here have an equal opportunity with you; Anyone who can survive on this island for a year is considered 'qualified'. But if you are killed by a new man on the 364th day, it is also a failure.
"Before you, it is not uncommon for a fierce 'veteran' who has lived for more than half a year to be killed by a newcomer...... Naturally, I wouldn't introduce someone like that to Lord Juezun. ”
"Then I'm going to ask again......" Yan Wuxian brought up the original question again, which was also what he was more concerned about now and was directly related to his next fate, "What are the two qualified people before me ......?"
"The first qualified person on the Chosen Island is me, He Huai." Before He Huai could finish speaking, he continued, "I am in this jungle, from a genetically modified person whose physical ability is close to the ability of the same level, mutated into a real ability, and has grown into a fierce ability in just one year. ”
"Dare to be the first experimentation of something you do...... Admire, admire, admire. Yan Wuxian's words are not compliments, but from the bottom of his heart.
"Hehe, scientists should have a bit of the spirit of Banner and Osborne, right?" He Huai immediately gave two examples that are not worth learning.
"Hmm...... If I had to describe it, I think it's more like 'I was confident that I cleaned the toilet and licked it', but you can say it. Yan Wuxian finally couldn't help but say a trash talk.
When He Huai heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and he didn't know whether he should be angry about this kind of thing.
But in the end, he still held back, and spoke again: "As for the second 'qualified', I can't tell you too much, you just need to know that she is an existence that no one can provoke......"
"Okay." Yan Wuxian thought for a few seconds and asked, "Then what are you going to do next?" Take me to what you call 'Juzun'? ”
"Yes, but before you do, you'll have to see someone else." At the same time as He Huai's words came out, the "person" he was talking about had already walked out of the jungle behind him.
Yan looked away from the man, and what he saw was a well-dressed Asian man in his thirties.
"Mr. Yan, I've been looking up for a long time." As the man walked, he said to Yan Wuxian, "It's down...... The lower part of the moon is a light show. ”
