Chapter 28: The Truth
"Why don't you drink something? Mr. Tom Lee. ”
In the underground gathering place, in a luxuriously decorated mansion of the Armstrong family, Zhao Qian looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
It was like he was drinking tea, or something.
With the candlestick still lit in the room, he could see the heat in the cup of the man in front of him.
Smoke curls.
Shaking his head and refusing, Zhao Qian looked at this man, the current strength of this gathering place should be regarded as the head of the strongest family. He also figured out what the other side was fighting in mind.
"To be honest, I hate it, this dark place."
The man said, his tone was flat, like a chattering exclamation. A typical scholarly temperament.
But his performance made Zhao Qian subconsciously tense every nerve and muscle, you know, he and this guy are enemies.
is still the most sad revenge for a father, but there is no hatred in this person's clean eyes. He behaved calmly from beginning to end, and the calmness was surprising.
As if he knew what the Asian in front of him was thinking, he continued.
"You should thank her, my daughter. She mentioned your name, so I gave up my plan to kill you. ”
The woman holding a cup handed Zhao Qian a cup of hot water, and the current situation had made him feel a little weird, or he hadn't reacted a little.
"I'm a businessman, so I only talk to you about business. So, you should first show where your value lies. ”
"What?"
The fist wind smashed over when Zhao Qian didn't react.
Yes, the fists are rushed, but more like they smell like they can kill anyone.
Tyranny.
Zhao Qian's head was on the side, and he took three steps back, and he looked at the guy in front of him who suddenly attacked him, the woman who brought him a cup just now.
It's also the daughter of the man in front of him who drinks and doesn't care.
This is? In the test?
The thought crossed my head.
"Whew!"
The next moment, another punch came, as if it had completely calculated his reaction line, and he had to face it head-on.
"Boom!"
The fist hit the exoskeleton arm guard in Zhao Qian's right hand, and it hurt so much.
"You can't be distracted in a fight."
The blonde chick said blandly. Her fists were very murderous, with a ruthlessness that ordinary people had never had.
Zhao Qian looked at the woman in front of him, his eyes flashed with solemnity, the long sword was already in his hand, and he was going to unsheath it at any time.
In this mansion, the temperature has also dropped by a few degrees.
The two of them stood in place, their momentum growing.
Imminent.
But neither of them moved, they were both waiting, waiting for the other party to show their flaws first.
"That's it."
Armstrong's family, who was sitting next to him, said, taking a sip of the hot drink from his cup, as if unaffected by the half-point battle.
If an ordinary person were sitting in his place, it was estimated that his heart would be about to jump out.
"Lee, I'm pretty sure now that you're indeed eligible for this program."
He said, as if the other party would be interested.
Seeing that Zhao Qian still had that confused look, he had to speak a little more.
"I've found a place, so I've gathered a group of explorers like you."
"Somewhere."
Thinking of the hidden area information given to him by the ticket, Zhao Qian could more or less sense in his heart that things were not as simple as he thought.
In fact, according to his original thoughts, he thought that it was just the Armstrong family who took a fancy to him and recruited him regardless of his previous suspicions. And the blonde girl who tried her skills just now is indeed very similar to that, at least he can see when they meet for the first time that her subordinates are more than a notch higher than the other two guys' subordinates.
I originally thought it was a main quest like a gathering place to brush prestige, but now it seems that I want to make it simpler.
"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is not Armstrong, my real name is Folles Yester, born in 1977, I am a researcher at a former agency affiliated with the Department of Defense Research of the United States of America, and I belong to the Special Secret Operations Zone of Texas, referred to as Area 54."
"Here?"
Zhao Qian asked, he was sure that the guy in front of him definitely had some special meaning of what he called Armstrong, such as the guy who was the first to land on the moon.
"Yes, we found a prehistoric civilization buried deep underground. Or it's not an exaggeration to call it an alien civilization. ”
The former researcher said with a fanatical expression, as if when it came to researching him, he could exude infinite motivation all over his body, changing the elegant image he had just had.
"But."
"You're saying I'm supposed to be pretty old, aren't you?"
Nodding, Zhao Qian felt that the guy in front of him was talking nonsense with drugs, or joking with himself.
"That's why I recruited you."
The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously and raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Zhao Qian stood in place, feeling weightless.
He looked as if he was sinking.
This is?
Lift?
The sound of the ticket in his ears made him sober up instantly, and when he looked up, he felt like he had fallen into a bottomless well.
"Main quest 2 has appeared, you have obtained the mandatory main quest 2 follow-up information."
"Main quest two: Desert Aliens."
"Mission Description: You've learned the truth behind Base 54, but nothing can excite you. Because you can only come back if you get something unknown from the underground of an unknown civilization. ”
"Mission Statement: False Eyester, the man who has gained his lifespan through a mysterious civilization, when he feels that his time is running out, he once again uses secret means to gather a group of strong men."
"Objective: To help Folles Yester find the medicine for a mysterious civilization."
"Duration of the mandate: two weeks."
"Quest Prompt: With an infinite lifespan, he cares about the real reason why his heir lives or dies."
"Mission Hint: The other party has your way back to the surface."
