Chapter 30: Rebirth
The lengthy parliamentary process has finally come to an end. After Crucey announced the adjournment of the meeting, the councilors of the various galaxies got up and left, but Cruze pressed two buttons on the table, and the central platform where he was sitting slowly rose and flew straight to the platform where Long Xingyi was.
"Councillor Baili, can I borrow the two of them?" Crossey asked politely.
"Borrowed? I'll leave these two young men to you, so let's reuse them! Speaker. Baili Chongyang said happily.
Cruze smiled and nodded, leaning his platform next to the platform of Baili Chongyang and the others, and a gap appeared between the two platforms that could accommodate two people to pass. Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting glanced at each other, and together they walked through the gap to the platform of Crucey.
Crucey nodded to the people on the platform again, then reoriented the platform, and slowly returned to the position of the central platform again. As soon as the platform fell, Cruze pulled open a baffle on the side of his workbench and put his finger inside, and soon the platform began to slowly sink, gradually descending below the ground, and it was pitch black all around.
"Are all the agents working underground?" Long Xingyi asked curiously.
"Probably! But the next place you're going to go isn't underground. Cruze said mysteriously.
The platform gradually descended to the bottom, and a platform appeared in front of them, and a train waited quietly in front of them. The platform opened a gap again, and Cruze got up and took Long Xingyi and the others out of the platform and went straight into the train car.
"It looks like it's a long way away, and you have to take the subway." Long Xingyi couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and kept finding topics to talk to Yin Yuting along the way, but Yin Yuting didn't know whether she was nervous or always mature, but she didn't speak all the way.
Several people sat in the middle of the train, this "subway" has only one carriage, and there is no bridge, completely unmanned, all around, transparent, like a large capsule made of glass, contained in a large glass pipe. After the group was seated, Cruze tapped his finger on the inner wall of the carriage, and the doors closed automatically, and the train began to move quickly.
After speeding all the way, the train finally drove out of the dark underground and into a massive fortress. Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting looked around curiously, only to see a series of strangely shaped machine guns erected on the towers closely connected on the towers on the towers, searchlights, cameras, everywhere, and small fighters in the sky coming and going. It seems that this agent base is really heavily guarded.
"Coupled with the fence and the big wolfdog, the guards here are just like the prisons." Long Xingyi said jokingly. Yin Yuting gave him a blank look, but still didn't answer.
"There are no big wolf dogs on the earth, and there are indeed some electronic dogs." Cruze replied equally wittily, and Long Xingyi nodded awkwardly.
As the train continued, a majestic palace-like building appeared in front of them, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased. Unlike Long Xingyi's previous expectations, they were wearing all kinds of uniforms, talking, or walking, each performing their own duties. No one paid too much attention to the passing trains around them, at most a quick glance seemed to have become commonplace.
After entering the building through the pipe, the train gradually slows down and finally stops in front of another platform. Several staff members were already waiting on the platform.
The door opened, and Cruze walked out with the two of them. Several staff members on the platform stepped forward to salute, and one of them, an old man with green skin and a human appearance, stepped forward and said, "Speaker, is the council going well?" ”
"Fortunately, Vitastar's energy problem is solved." Cruze smiled and said, then turned back and beckoned to Long Xingyi and the others, "This is the earthling I introduced to you before, Long Xingyi." This is his communications officer and assistant, Yin Yuting. ”
The old man nodded slightly to the two and said, "Welcome, I am the chief elder of the House of Elders here, 28-star Admiral Dolby." ”
Long Xingyi carefully looked at the chief elder in front of him, with green skin, sparse white hair, white eyebrows, pointed ears, and a calm and breezy look on his face. Unlike the agents on the outside, who were dressed in different shapes, Elder Duby wore only a plain robe, a pair of cloth shoes, and a laser sword hilt pinned to his waist. It's like a grown version of Master Yoda from Star Wars, except that he looks more like a human - except for the color of his skin.
Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting stepped forward to salute, and Long Xingyi said politely: "Hello, I am Brigadier General Long Xingyi from Earth, and I have just been appointed by the Council as your major. This is my friend, Captain Yin Yuting, who is now a sergeant. Thank you for your continued support! "28-star general, how much higher is this than me? Long Xingyi secretly admired in his heart.
"It's more about you taking care of yourself." Elder Dolby smiled slightly and said meaningfully.
"Elder Dolby is in the same galaxy as me, he is from Maca, he is 913 years old this year, you can learn a lot from him." Speaker Cruze introduced.
Hearing the word "Maca", Long Xingyi almost didn't laugh out loud, but he knew that it was rude, so he endured it and nodded modestly.
Cruze continued, "Then let's go and see their uniforms and equipment, shall we?" There are still a lot of processes to go. Elder Dolby nodded, and sideways led a few people forward, and the people behind him automatically moved out of the way.
Dolby led the group down the platform, down the long hallway, through a large hall. On both sides of the hall are various types of armor, although a little old, but all of them are majestic.
"These are the armor of the great warriors who have made great contributions and sacrificed their lives for the interstellar team." Dolby introduced as he walked ahead.
Long Xingyi looked at the pairs of armor on both sides with envy, and thought to himself, if I could have such a cool outfit, it would be handsome.
"Of course, with the development of science and technology, armor is becoming more and more lightweight and practical, and it is no longer so heavy." Dolby continued. Sure enough, walking further, the armor on both sides became thinner and brighter, and when he walked to the end of the hall, Long Xingyi even saw a few "armors" that resembled shirts.
Elder Dolby opened the door and walked in, and the others went in with them, turning a few corners and climbing a tower, and Elder Dolby finally stopped in front of a small door.
"Ministry of Science and Technology, as newcomers, we still need to carry out some small 'transformation' for you." Elder Dolby said, opening the door.
What the? Remodel? Am I still a human being after the transformation? Long Xingyi thought worriedly. But he mechanically followed Elder Dolby and entered the room.
A group of staff members were busy handling their work, and when they saw Elder Duby come in, everyone bowed in unison, and then before Elder Du could speak, they continued to devote themselves to the work at hand.
"This way." Elder Dolby spread out his hand and pointed to a small door on the other side of the room, with a sign hanging next to the door, and the translation system on Long Xingyi's neck directly switched alien characters into Chinese characters and transmitted them to his retinal nerves. It says "Newcomer's Office".
In the office, a scarlet-skinned alien with a huge head stepped forward and asked directly, "Elder, is that them?" ”
Elder Dubi nodded, turned around and introduced, "Long Xingyi, Yin Yuting, are all earthlings. ”
The alien had two hands, each with six fingers, and he stepped forward to shake hands with Long Xingyi and said, "My name is Valasa, are you ready?" We have specially customized a 'package' for you! ”
"Valasa, let's get started!" Cruuse said behind them, as if he had already ordered a birthday cake for Long Xingyi, waiting for them to turn off the lights and light the candles.
Valasa nodded very understandingly, and hurriedly recommended everyone to go inside, saying as he walked, "Major Long Xingyi, your armor was customized for you by Speaker Cruze a few days ago. ”
Long Xingyi glanced back at Cruze in surprise, only to see that Cruze's expression was like that of a child, or a father waiting for the child to show a surprised expression when he opened the gift, and said proudly: "I watched what you said about "Spider-Man", since it is your hero, I will make you a set of his suits!" ”
Long Xingyi's expression froze suddenly, and a joke he made casually, in Cruzer's eyes, Spider-Man turned out to be a big hero in his mind. Long Xingyi slowly turned his head, and a red and blue Spider-Man suit was already displayed in front of him.
"The high-density cobwebs are extremely tough, and the compression of the cobwebs has been greatly improved, so you don't need to change them even if you continue to fight in a suit for a month. The surface of the suit can be bulletproof, stab-proof, and heat-proof, and the small launcher behind it allows you to fly for a short time...... 200 hours! The material of your hands and feet allows you to crawl on rough surfaces, making it easy for you to walk on walls, and the highly intelligent computer on your head can analyze the battle situation for you while you are fighting, and solve all your problems...... All in all, you'll love it! ”
I'm in love with it! Long Xingyi thought to himself, with ten thousand regrets in his heart, he knew that Lao Tzu would say Iron Man or Batman or something at that time, and that technology is much more than this! And maybe there's a clone or a Batmobile or something. He didn't say anything, he could only smile bitterly.
But Yin Yuting beside him obviously didn't think so, with a girl's heart-warming expression, she said enviously: "So powerful!" Do I have such a suit? ”
At this time, Cruze seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Yin Yuting, as an assistant to Major Long Xingyi, you are not an official field agent, so you don't have this kind of suit." But you also have a beautiful uniform, which I think must fit well. ”
After Yin Yuting heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little lost, but soon, she said to Long Xingyi with a provocative look and a joking tone: "Wait!" I'm also going to try to get a good job as soon as possible! ”
Long Xingyi listened to Yin Yuting's words, and finally felt a little content, so he said: "Yes, yes, it seems to be the other way around now...... Go for it! Black Widow or Wonder Woman, you name it. ”
Although Yin Yuting didn't understand the movie characters of Long Xingyi's era, it seemed that she had already planned, so she turned back to Elder Dubi and said, "Can I order my own armor then?" ”
Elder Dolby nodded, "By that time, of course. ”
Long Xingyi turned around and gave a solemn military salute to Crucey, "Thank you!" Thank you for making my suit so hard, I'll work hard. ”
Speaker Cruze and Elder Dolby both nodded in satisfaction, and Elder Dolby said, "So, the next step." He motioned for Valassa to continue.
Valasa pulled Long Xingyi to another device that looked like an operating table, and said to him, "Listen, friend, ...... We're going to give you a little 'makeover'. ”
You're not going to castrate me, are you? Long Xingyi's eyes widened in thought. He suddenly remembered the movie "Star Wars", and felt that his current job was very much like the Jedi in the movie, and the Jedi were not allowed to get married, and the "Jedi" in reality would not be castrated, right?
Elder Dolby seemed to see his worried eyes, and calmly explained, "Don't worry! It's all a makeover that's good for you. We will use special potions and gamma rays to permanently increase your muscles, bone density, brain volume and brain development, improve your metabolism and your entire physique - and your IQ, make you faster and stronger, and your lifespan will be far beyond the average person. ”
"Hah! It's Captain America! Scared the hell out of me. Long Xingyi relaxed suddenly, and blurted out unreliable words again.
"It doesn't matter if it's Captain America or whatever, you're going to get stronger. With great power comes great responsibility, and I hope you remember. Cruze said with a smile.
Long Xingyi looked at the device in front of him and nodded meaningfully.
"Let's get started! It may be a little painful during this period, because this is still quite irritating, and you have to hold back. Valassa said, and began to work beside the machine in front of him.
"I ...... Do I have that too? Yin Yuting asked timidly.
"You have it too, Miss Yin Yuting, as a woman, your transformation strength is not as strong as Major Long Xingyi, but you will also be enhanced." Elder Dolby replied.
Long Xingyi hesitated for a moment, lay down on the operating table, and Valasa tied his hands and feet, covered the metal covers from both sides, and locked them. He pulled out a few bottles of potion from the security cabinet next to him and inserted them on a shelf next to the machine, and he returned to the workbench, as if he was also waiting for an exciting moment.
"Ready? Renovation plan, let's go! With that, Valassa pressed the red start button on the control panel.
A buzzing sound sounded in Long Xingyi's head, and in the darkness, he closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the pain to come. Suddenly, several steel needles were inserted into his arms, thighs, and chest and back, but fortunately they didn't hurt too much. Gradually, a slightly cool liquid entered his body from the pipe, and he gradually felt unusual, and his whole body began to numb.
A slight pain spread from his veins to his brain, could it be a drug allergy? Is this normal? He thought about it, but didn't dare to say it.
A burning sensation of a laser came from under his feet, scanning up his thighs and body along a horizontal line...... Where the laser swept, a sharp pain suddenly appeared, not only in the blood vessels, but also in every muscle, every bone, and even in his brain. He didn't want to make a sound, but he felt like he couldn't hold on, so he could only close his lips and let out a cry of pain.
The laser swept over every inch of his body little by little, and he felt as if his whole body was about to be ignited, and the slight cooling sensation when he injected the potion just now was gone, replaced by the boiling liquid in his veins. Am I going to be set on fire? He thought.
I don't know how long it took, the pain gradually disappeared, and his closed eyes felt a light. It must have been Valassa who opened the metal cover!
A puff of steam emanated from the metal cover, and a muscular human lay in pain with his eyes closed. Both Cruuse and Dolby Patriarch stared at the man on the operating table, not saying a word.
"This kind of transformation...... Not fatal, right? Yin Yuting finally couldn't help it and asked in a low voice.
Elder Duby still had no expression, but said gently, "Generally speaking, it will be painful, but the lethality rate is very low, and only a few people have died here before. ”
Anyone else died here? Yin Yuting couldn't help but worry when she heard this.
Fortunately, within a few seconds, Long Xingyi opened his eyes slightly.
Valasa had already untied his hands and feet, Long Xingyi sat up slowly, touched his hands, feet and head, the outline basically did not change, but it was obviously one size larger than before. He looked around, and everything around him seemed to become clearer and brighter.
Long Xing jumped to the ground in a hurry, and his spirit was hundredfold. Cruze asked, "How does it feel?" ”
"Reborn!" Long Xingyi said happily, "Can I go on a mission?" ”
"As I said before, when Miss Yin Yuting's transformation is over, you can officially start investigating the previous murder case against you." Cruzer made a promise.
"After the brain is strengthened, there are many things that I can think more clearly." Long Xingyi said confidently. "So, I'm going to start my plan, okay? Elder. ”
Elder Duby nodded, "We, the interstellar team, were originally directly under the orders of the Speaker, and since the Speaker gave the order, you should go and do it." ”
Long Xingyi nodded, turned back to Yin Yuting and said, "You can also experience it!" Double! ”
