Chapter Twenty-Eight: Pitted Again
As far as the eye could see, it was cold.
Lu Ping's eyes had completely turned blue, like two beautiful blue crystals, transparent and flawless.
"Yuriko, how long have I been asleep?"
After waking up, Lu Ping was unusually calm, he first looked around, and then turned his head to ask Yuriko beside him.
Yuriko's body trembled, and the moment Lu Ping's gaze came, she felt a chill inexplicably, a feeling as if her whole body was frozen.
She even read a kind of ruthlessness in those eyes, and a hint of ...... Crazy?
For some reason, a death crisis quietly rose, and she couldn't help but take a slight half step back.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Lu Ping frowned, after waking up, his perception became extremely acute, and he could clearly feel the aura of fear emanating from Yuriko's body.
It was a strange feeling, especially when his gaze swept over the other Red Alert soldiers, and the colors in the eyes of those soldiers were as terrified as they were at Yuriko!
Why are they afraid? Lu Ping thought he already knew the answer.
Because since he woke up, he has felt something strange in his body.
In his eyes, everything in the world seemed to slow down, and he could clearly see the trajectory of the air flowing, especially the temperature around him, which made him feel very comfortable.
He tried to reach out and touch the moving air, but with a slight touch, the water vapor and dust there turned into ice crystals, causing him to quickly withdraw his palm in a daze.
Freeze?
That's right, it's his ability, an ability that evolved through the TG virus.
"Commander ......"
In terms of psychological quality, Yuriko should be in the first place.
So after the initial shock, her heart quickly returned to normal, and even that trace of fear was forcibly suppressed.
After all, compared to her actions when she activated her abilities at the beginning, Lu Ping was undoubtedly much gentler here.
"It's been a long time since you rested?"
Lu Ping smiled faintly, not paying any attention to Yuriko's previous actions.
He looked at the bloodshot in the latter's eyes, and for some reason, a trace of inexplicable distress rose in his heart, and vaguely, the figure of a girl resurfaced in his mind, making his complexion change slightly.
"You go to sleep first, I'll go out for a walk by myself."
Shaking his head, he whispered, put on a few clothes and walked towards the exit.
Outside, it was already a field of ice and snow.
Everywhere you look, it's white, quiet and terrible.
The flood had long since frozen into ice and turned into a snowfield, and as far as the eye could see, there was a fog at the end, and not far away, a huge steel silhouette stood there, which was the floating island fortress that carried the base.
Surprisingly, Lu Ping, who was wearing short sleeves, did not feel even the slightest chill here, and even his whole body was warm, as if everything in front of him was an illusion.
Lu Ping didn't expect that his awakened ability could actually improve his cold resistance.
After moving his body slightly, he raised his feet and walked down the mountain.
In the process of descending the mountain, a clear world unfolded before his eyes like never before.
He could clearly see the ice crystals floating in the air and some colorful crystals that slowly approached him as he walked, as if they were getting close to him.
He looked at the new world in front of him in amazement, it was a beauty that could not be described in words, and no ornate rhetoric could fully express the scene in front of Lu Ping's eyes.
He continued to walk on, but as he was about to descend the hill, a reflection in an ice block caught his attention.
"It's ......"
Looking at the image in the ice cube, Lu Ping subconsciously touched the corner of his eye.
It was a cold blue, lifeless, and it seemed to have an indifference to all beings, strange and beautiful, and it was no wonder that Yuriko was afraid.
He shook his head and straightened up, as long as it wasn't broken, everything was easy to say.
Descending the hill, Lu Ping walked directly towards the floating island fortress standing on the snowfield.
A few minutes later, when he stood less than ten meters away from the Floating Island Fortress, he was speechless with shock.
Huge!
This was Lu Ping's first feeling about the floating island fortress.
When he watched it from a distance, there was nothing, but once he got closer, Lu Ping knew what a steel beast was, and humans were as small as ants facing dinosaurs compared to it.
Following the open passage below the floating island fortress, Lu Ping ascended to the top of the fortress.
"Command ......"
Keiji Shirata, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted him, and behind him were three assistants and some peacekeepers.
However, the moment his gaze met Lu Ping's, the words that had just come out of his mouth were suddenly stuck in his throat, and even the smile on his face froze in an instant.
A chill ran down his spine and made him shiver.
In the previous month and a half, he had not left the Floating Island Fortress, nor had he contacted Rikuhei or Yuriko, so he didn't know about Luping's crisis and evolution.
Now that he had seen Lu Ping for the first time in these days, it was hard for him to imagine what had happened to make the commander become what he was now.
Fortunately, the first thing Keiji Shirata learned as an engineer was to keep himself calm, and after a few seconds of adaptation, he immediately returned to normal.
No matter what the person in front of him becomes, even if he becomes a monster, then he is also his own commander.
Since it's your boss, why are you afraid? At most, I wasn't used to seeing it by those eyes.
"Commander, the construction of the base is nearing completion. With the exception of the harbor, all the annexes have been built and the crack generator is ready for use after the last calibration! ”
After recovering emotionally, Shirata immediately reported on the progress of the work as a way to hide his discomfort.
"In addition, the mining farm is already operational. One kilometer to the southwest we found an iron ore mine, which now earns 2,000-4,000 energy points per day! Just ......"
Lu Ping nodded, 4,000 energy points is not a small amount, and it is also a terrifying number over time.
However, Shirata Keiji's last "just" is obviously that he still has something to say.
"Just what?" He asked, confused.
"It's just...... At present, the energy points of the base have all reached negative numbers. ”
Without Shirata Keiji finishing speaking, Lu Ping let out a wail, and he immediately opened the system panel in his mind to look at the energy points inside, and a big "-1273070" number made him almost go crazy.
"How can it be so expensive!"
Lu Ping yelled in disbelief.
Shirata Keiji shrunk his neck, he had expected this situation, and hurriedly handed over a bill.
"What is this?"
Lu Ping took the bill and looked up.
【Mining Farm】
Construction cost: 500,000 energy points
【Barracks】
Construction cost: 250,000 energy points
【Chariot Factory】
Construction cost: 400,000 energy points
【Air Base】
Construction cost: 400,000 energy points
……
……
Looking at the quotations of the columns of construction units on the paper, Lu Ping's body couldn't help but shake twice, the energy points of more than five million yuan have not been covered yet, so they are gone?
In particular, he owes more than one million, which makes him almost crazy.
This base!
