Chapter XXIV

Chapter XXIV: Pacific Rim

Li Yi's strength is not small, it can even be said to be very strong, now he has more than ten tons of arm strength in his petrified state, and he can tear off the heavy iron chain like noodles, but he has nothing to do about these strange chains that bind him.

He tried to struggle for a while, but he gave up completely.

"Are you an idiot, why do you have such a powerful energy in your body, but you prefer to fight with your non-dominant body?"

Saruman looked at Li Yi, who was floating in the air in front of him and was imprisoned by his spiritual power, and asked.

"Uh... I don't know how to use this energy. Li Yi, who couldn't move, said embarrassedly.

"Idiot." Saruman snapped his fingers, and Li Yi, who was in mid-air, found that his body could move again, and then fell from the sky suddenly, facing the ground fiercely, embarrassed.

"You have such a powerful energy in your body that even I can't suppress it, but you can't use it, it's a joke."

"Actually, it's not that it's unusable." Li Yi got up from the ground in embarrassment, wiped the dust on his body, and said, "I can simply release energy, but I can't control it." ”

"For example?"

Saruman said, and a little in the void, a transparent orb appeared.

"Destroy it."

"Hmm." Li Yi nodded, stretched out his finger and touched the transparent ball, and then, in the transparent ball, it was filled with crimson energy, and there was a bang. As if a light bulb exploded, the transparent ball exploded instantly. The intense escape energy began to fill the space rapidly, and then quickly disappeared.

"Not bad." See this scene. Saruman nodded in satisfaction.

"Excellent energy. And it's pure. ”

"I also have a general understanding of your situation now. You have a lot of potential, but overall, you don't realize it. I don't have anything extra to tell you, and I have limited time, my advice to you is waiting for when you can control the energy in your body, your power can definitely play a level, and besides, you seem to have a lot of miscellaneous abilities, which is not good for you. That's all I have to say. ”

When Saruman had finished speaking, he closed the door.

After Li Yi thanked him gratefully, he left the room with Laili.

"You're doing a great job."

Outside the room, Laili looked at Li Yi with praise and said, her eyes were full of appreciation.

"Don't. My face still hurts..."

Li Yi hurriedly waved his hand, it was the first time he had been slapped in the face by a woman.

Seeing Li Yi's aggrieved expression, Lai Li smiled slightly, and then asked, "Has your trouble been solved?" Until we parted, my proposal was valid. ”

"No need." Li Yi waved his hand. He's not going to send Groom out.

"I'll take care of the starship myself."

In fact, Li Yi now has an idea.

After saying goodbye to Riley, he returned to the rest pod and replaced Miwa and Xiao Xiujing. And the alpha was released from the ring.

As soon as Lin Xiujing landed, she stretched her waist excitedly and said to Li Yi complainingly: "You should have released us earlier." It's all suffocated in that space. ”

Li Yi looked at this little girl speechlessly, she had not complained after flying in space for more than ten days. Now it's only been closed for two days and I'm complaining.

But he obviously wouldn't be stupid to care about this, he first hugged Miyu affectionately. Then he opened his mouth and asked Lin Xiujing: "I remember you said that Tito was transformed into the current machine." ”

"yes, what?" Lin Xiujing seemed to feel some bad premonition, and looked at Li Yi with a wary face.

"It's nothing, I remember Alpha said that the people on your planet are very good at building starships, so, can you build them, or modify them."

"Are you crazy? How could I build a starship by myself, it would take a lot of manpower and material resources, and besides, how could I have that time now? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to tell me, can you make it when the manpower, material resources and time are OK?"

"Of course, as long as there is enough time, manpower and material resources, not to mention starships, I can build a spacestarstar, I am very smart." Speaking of this, Lin Xiujing suddenly found that Li Yi looked at her gaze, which was completely like a big bad wolf looking at the little white rabbit, and instantly reacted and said, "I said, you don't really want me to build a starship, do you?" ”

"Of course." Li Yi nodded and said: "To apply for a starship channel, you must have a starship, just like our high-speed on the earth, you must have a car, it is impossible to buy it, we have no money, so we can only build it ourselves." ”

Lin Xiujing looked at Li Yi speechlessly, and said: "Do you know how much time it takes, at least 1 year, and it must be fully supported by manpower and material resources, and the material resources are good, but in terms of manpower, it is not just a matter of finding a few people, they must have professional skills and knowledge, at least they must be professional mechanical workers." ”

"Don't worry, I'll solve all these problems." Li Yi pressed the little girl's head indifferently to reassure her, then turned his head to look at Alpha and said, "We don't have much time, I will settle you first and then act separately." ”

"I understand." Alpha nodded, and seemed to have some understanding of Li Yi's so-called method.

"Alright, in that case, let's go to the first destination first."

As soon as Li Yi's voice fell, he grabbed Mei Yu and Lin Xiujing and disappeared into the rest cabin, and Alpha also disappeared, and the rest cabin was empty.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Los Angeles, USA

The sky was gray, and it was drizzling lightly, the raindrops fell from the sky and fell into a soft palm, the cold feeling came, after feeling this real touch, Li Yi withdrew his hands in the rain, and the rain poured down his hair into his neck, making his clothes soaked.

People were hurrying back and forth on the road, and no one noticed the strange Li Yi in the middle of the crowd.

At this time, Mei Yu and Lin Xiujing came running from a distance, holding two umbrellas in their hands.

"Thank you." Li Yi smiled slightly at the two of them, and then asked Xiaoqing in the ring.

"When?"

"January 23, 2025!"

"Well, it's okay, it's not too far away."

At this time, Lin Xiujing looked at everything in front of her strangely, and asked Li Yi: "I said, where is this, what kind of stunned kung fu, we seem to have returned to the earth." ”

"It's not like, we are indeed back on Earth, but not our Earth, but another Earth."

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiujing looked confused.

"You'll find out later." Li Yi said and raised his head towards the crowd of people who came and went not far away.

Mei Yu didn't ask much, but Lin Xiujing looked at Li Yi's gaze with an unhappy face, she didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after a few glances, she realized that something was wrong.

"That's?"

Although the sky was originally very gloomy, and the light rain made everything in the distance look so dim, but if you look closely, the naked eye can still discern the darkness in the distance, not the dark clouds pressing down from the sky, but the huge city walls, like iron barrels tightly wrapping the entire coastline of Los Angeles, as if defending against this.

Their race's mechanical talent, as well as their keen intuition for numbers, made her feel that the artificial wall made of reinforced concrete was at least seventy meters high, and the thickness was definitely not weaker than ten meters.

"What's that?"

Lin Xiujing turned her head and asked with wide eyes, Mei Yu also noticed those city walls, and she couldn't hide the curiosity in her eyes.

At this moment, on the LED wall of the skyscraper behind her, a sexy and beautiful female anchor began to broadcast today's news.

"This is ABC Broadcasting News, I'm host Amy, and here's the main news ...... of the day"

"Recently, monster attacks have become more and more frequent, but fortunately, the coastal walls built to protect humans perfectly protect the citizens of Los Angeles. And those mecha heroes who once fought against monsters have slowly become silent since the hunter program suffered a heavy blow last year, and it is said that the defense expenditure of the hunter program is too large, which makes the government's financial resources a little overwhelmed. As a result, the relatively "frugal" approach of building coastal walls was supported by governments. Nowadays, humans no longer use mecha to fight against Kaiju Beasts, but focus on defense. But there are still many people who think that passive defense is not the best way. The following is an interview with Mr. Freeman, who is planning the Coastal Walls. ”

Then I saw on the screen, a businessman-like man appeared, wearing a suit and leading a white and tender man.

"Of course, we're not on the defensive, we're building up our strength and waiting for the right moment."

"Yes, we all know that weapons are of little use against those monsters, and we know very little about the origins of those monsters. So, we need time, the government needs time, and my coastal walls are perfect for holding out level 4 monsters. ”

"Are you kidding, do you know how much a mecha costs, it doesn't have to cost less than the Apollo program, and its scrap rate is too high, so far in more than ten years, we have made more than 30 mechas, but now they are intact and can still fight, but less than half of them are too extravagant, this is completely burning money, and it is taxpayers' money."

Just as the news was being broadcast here, suddenly, I don't know if it was everyone's delusion, there was a shaking on the ground...... (To be continued......)
