Chapter 328: The kind of game young people play with?
"Old Long, don't just say half of what you mean! Get your facts straight!"
Liu gripped the communicator tightly, his voice rising in a frantic shout:
"An astral portal? Another world? Are you kidding me?!"
Long Zhan's deep laughter came through the communicator, tinged with barely suppressed smugness.
"Old Liu, don't worry."
"Once you enter the portal and see for yourself, you'll understand."
Liu Yishou took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.
At a time like this, you're still telling him not to rush? Who wouldn't be anxious?
He really wanted to curse.
But the words stuck in his throat.
He pinched his adjutant hard, and the man's reaction clearly told him that he was not dreaming.
"Damn it, I'll see what kind of mess you've made!"
He slammed down the communicator and turned to face all the officers on the bridge who were staring blankly at the portal.
"What are you all standing there for!"
"Keep the fleet on course and go... through that door!"
"yes!"
The adjutant responded and immediately issued the order.
The fleet ahead continued to advance, entering the enormous portal.
The massive hull of the Kunlun aircraft carrier slowly followed.
Liu Yishou stood at the front of the bridge, his hands supporting the command platform, his eyes fixed on the huge door frame that emitted a pale blue light.
Fifty meters high.
Ninety meters wide.
It is smooth all over, the material is unknown, and the surface has light patterns that flow like water ripples.
Inside the doorway, a completely different scene unfolds.
Sunlight.
A clear blue sky.
The sea shimmers in the distance.
Liu Yishou couldn't help but raise his wrist again to check the time on his watch.
"Damn it..."
He muttered a curse under his breath.
At this moment, the entire bridge was completely silent.
All the officers held their breath, their eyes fixed on the door.
The Kunlun aircraft carrier is getting closer and closer.
Two hundred meters.
One hundred meters.
Fifty meters.
Liu Yishou could even smell the sea breeze blowing in from the portal.
"Report: The bow of the ship is about to contact the portal!"
The communications soldier's voice trembled.
"Keep going, the door is small, be careful!"
Liu Yishou replied, and he quickly ran from the deck to the bow of the ship, wanting to see the other "world" as soon as possible.
The Kunlun entered the portal and then began to move away.
one meter.
ten meters.
Fifty meters.
Liu Yishou stood inside the bridge, watching helplessly as the scene before him changed drastically.
The dark background of the Blue Star underground base disappeared.
Instead, there was blinding sunlight.
A clear blue sky.
And... a breath of fresh air I'd never smelled before.
It was the salty smell of seawater, mixed with the fragrance of some kind of plant, and a faint, indescribable, strange aroma.
Liu Yishou took a deep breath.
The air is very fresh.
No, it's not just about being fresh.
It's that refreshing feeling that makes you want to take a few more breaths, making your lungs feel comfortable and open, as if all the pores on your body have been opened.
After the cataclysmic event on Earth, vegetation withered and died on a large scale, and the air quality deteriorated.
If it weren't for the oxygen produced by sea algae, humans on Earth today would probably be living with oxygen tanks.
Add to that various volcanic eruptions, wars, and burned-down cities...
Under such circumstances, the air quality is predictably poor.
"Report!"
The communications soldier turned around abruptly, his voice off-key.
"We...we really went through the portal!"
"We've lost contact with Earth's satellites and base systems, but new satellite signals have been received!!"
Liu Yishou suddenly looked up.
Outside the bridge, sunlight streamed down, spilling onto the deck and reflecting a blinding white light.
In the distance, the vast blue sea stretched out before us, its waves rolling and crashing against the rocks with a deep, rumbling sound.
Several huge birds flew across the sky, with wingspans of five or six meters, emitting sharp cries.
Liu Yishou's eyes widened.
That's not a seagull.
What is that...?
"Sir, look behind you!"
The adjutant pointed behind the bridge, his voice trembling.
Liu Yishou suddenly turned around.
The stern of the Kunlun aircraft carrier was still halfway inside the portal.
That enormous door frame stood there on unfamiliar land.
The surrounding buildings and facilities are largely complete, with countless engineers putting the finishing touches on them.
At a glance, a large number of soldiers were busy at work, and various buildings were beginning to take shape.
It was bustling and lively, quite different from the underground base.
Two worlds, separated by a single door.
Liu Yishou gasped.
His maternal grandmother.
This is real!
Another world really exists!
"Sir, what's the next step?"
The communications soldier's voice rang out again.
Liu Yishou snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.
"Pass down the order: the fleet will maintain formation, pass through the portal one by one, and then assemble in the waters ahead to await further instructions!"
"yes!"
One warship after another began to emerge from the portal.
Destroyer.
Frigate.
Amphibious assault ship.
Auxiliary ships, submarines.
The moment each warship passed through the portal, the soldiers on the deck erupted in suppressed gasps of surprise.
"Holy crap, where am I?!"
"My God, it was the Arctic just now, and now it's the ocean?!"
"Is this sun real? I can feel my skin getting hot!"
"Look at those birds in the sky, their wings are so big, could they be mutants?"
"Look at the shore! Holy crap, is that a lizard or a dragon???"
The soldiers were abuzz with discussion, a mixture of shock, confusion, excitement, and unease.
Liu Yishou was also deeply shocked.
He snapped out of his daze, noticed the commotion of the surrounding soldiers, glanced at the agitated soldiers on the deck, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, remain calm, do not act on your own, and await further instructions!"
"yes!"
One hour later.
The entire expeditionary fleet passed through the portal and arrived at this unfamiliar sea area.
A massive torrent of steel, neatly arranged on the azure sea, created a truly magnificent sight.
After Liu Yishou arranged everything and had the aircraft carrier's bridge reassembled, he said in a deep voice:
"Contact Dragon War and tell him I'm logging in!"
"yes!"
Ten minutes later.
A small landing craft was lowered from the Kunlun aircraft carrier. Liu Yishou, along with several guards, boarded the landing craft and headed towards the coastline.
The sea breeze is blowing.
Liu Yishou sat at the bow of the boat, his eyes fixed on the land that was getting closer and closer.
"Sir, look over there!"
A guard pointed to the coastline.
Liu Yishou looked up.
On the pier by the shore, a group of people were standing.
Leading the group was none other than Long Zhan.
He was dressed in military uniform, his face resolute, his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
Beside him stood several people dressed in strange clothes.
There was an elderly man wearing a white robe.
There was a short, burly man with a long beard.
There was even a giant dragon with wings that was tens of meters tall!
Even stranger, behind Long Zhan was a tall centaur with the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human.
"Hiss—is that a husky standing up? It's so big??"
Liu Yishou stared wide-eyed at the tall werewolf.
His maternal grandmother.
What are these things?
Are there any kinds of wire-hooking games that young people play with?
The landing craft docked.
Liu Yishou leaped down and strode towards Long Zhan. Before he even got close, a loud voice rang out.
"Old Dragon!"
"You fucking explain yourself! What the hell is going on?!"
