The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 971 2 Golden Crows

Chapter 971 Two Golden Crows (18)
"Why are they digging up our mountain!"

"No, the question should be—how is it possible to dig up a mountain!"

Everyone present panicked.

The crew of "Federal Boys Around the Federation" even pointed their cameras at this incredible scene.

But what followed was a strong tremor.

The tremor, though not as violent as an earthquake, was far from ordinary, clearly indicating that something was indeed happening in the distance.

Even more astonishing is—

Above the curve of the mountain, the mist was forcibly dispersed, revealing a massive warship hovering in mid-air.

That warship was bigger than a mountain.

Its entire body is covered with a snow-white silver-gray coating, as if it were specially designed to block out light. It has almost no reflection, and with the surrounding mist that appears out of nowhere, it is simply a perfect cover-up.

No wonder it was able to enter the airspace of the Eastern Empire without being detected, at least not to the naked eye. If the mountain hadn't risen and forced the fog away, this warship would probably have remained hidden in the sky, silent and undetected.

Faced with such a colossal object, everyone's first reaction was shock, followed by immense fear.

This is a fear stemming from one's own insignificance and the vast disparity in strength.

Just then, Yu Meng suddenly flew into a rage and said:

"No, I have to go and ask them for an explanation!"

He immediately turned around and opened the car door.

Seeing this, everyone quickly pulled her away:

"Captain, calm down! That's the military over there!"

"Moreover, the mountain is still moving; it's too dangerous to go there!"

"Judging from the current situation, it's clear that the First Empire doesn't take us seriously at all. They want to move the entire ruins back. Can we just stand by and watch what originally belonged to us be taken away?" Yu Meng was furious, her eyes bulging with rage.

"But... Captain, how can you stop it? That's a space battleship of the First Empire, it's even equipped with missiles!"

These words calmed Yu Meng down a bit. She took a deep breath and said, "In any case... I have to find out the truth!"

"It's good to be able to delay for a while until the military arrives."

After saying that, Yu Meng ignored all advice and insisted on getting into the driver's seat.

Just as they were about to drive off, the passenger door opened, and Liu Sheng got in.

Yu Meng glanced at him sideways, and Liu Sheng immediately explained:
“You will need me.”

"But there will be danger."

"I'm not afraid of danger. You forgot, I can run away at any time."

"I don't know if you're telling the truth... Oh well, let's try anything..."

"fasten your seatbelt!"

Before the words were even finished, the police car had already sped off at breakneck speed.
They left behind all the figures who were anxiously and fearfully looking up at the sky at the village entrance.

But the journey was truly thrilling.

The closer you get, the stronger the tremors become. The ground undulates like waves, the concrete cracks, and bricks and tiles from houses in the village fall down.

Fortunately, Yu Meng's driving skills were quite good. No matter how the road conditions changed, she was able to seize the opportunity and speed through.

Liu Sheng, who was sitting to the side, was completely disoriented from the jostling.

"Officer Yu...where did you learn your driving skills...?"

He finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through his clenched teeth.

Yu Meng answered loudly, "Oh, I originally wanted to be a race car driver, but I changed careers after passing the civil service exam!"

Liu Sheng: "..."

After a long and bumpy ride, the car finally arrived at the edge of a collapsed paddy field.

That's all we can do.

Ahead was a semi-transparent barrier, crackling with a faint electric light, that stretched all the way to the warships in the sky, encompassing the entire mountain range and completely blocking all roads.

This was also the first time Liu Sheng had truly witnessed the technological prowess of the Federal Empire.

Seeing the appearance of the Eastern Federation Empire, I thought that the overall technological level of the Federation Empire was nothing special, but now it seems that it's just because she hasn't been to a place with truly advanced technology yet.

According to the "world's" analysis, this barrier is constructed using mechanisms such as a high-density electromagnetic interference matrix and plasma flow stabilization, and has characteristics such as physical barrier, electromagnetic interference, energy reflection and absorption.

In this sense, it is similar to the protective array in Liu Sheng's world, but the way it is implemented is completely different, belonging to a completely different technological tree.

While studying at the First Imperial University of the Federation (the Mysterious Version), she took courses related to electromagnetism, but due to interference from the mysterious energy, electromagnetic disturbances prevented experiments from being carried out normally, and the course content could only remain at the theoretical level.

Moreover, the spiritual energy era has embarked on a different path. Although many technical principles are still in the dark, the applications are already quite mature, even surpassing the current Federal Empire.

However, the two are not in conflict.

Liu Sheng's philosophy has always been to complete the technology tree of the Spiritual Era by cross-fertilizing another technology tree, thereby advancing to the next stage.

At that moment, she stared at the barrier with burning eyes, almost unable to resist the urge to dismantle its working mechanism on the spot.

The warships in the sky also captivated her.

Although she already possessed a "celestial vessel," it was entirely conceived based on the spiritual energy era, and she was well aware that it still had many flaws from an engineering perspective. This hovering warship, however, was a truly large-scale aircraft built upon physical logic and industrial systems, from which she might gain considerable new inspiration.

This made Liu Sheng's desire to go to the First Imperial University stronger than ever before.

"Okay, I understand. I will write my paper properly."

A languid voice rose from the depths of my heart.

"You're awake?" Liu Sheng asked silently in her mind.

"Hmm..." He Tao yawned.

"Should we switch it back?"

"No, you obviously already have a plan, so I won't get involved. I'm just taking advantage of this free time to write my thesis in my space..."

"Speaking of which, my conversation with Zheng Qiran and the others..."

"Yeah, I heard that."

He Tao readily admitted it, and knowing exactly what Liu Sheng was going to say next, she said directly:

“You don’t need to worry that I’m unwilling. I’m an adult, and I can make my own judgments about what to do. You’ve never forced me.”

“I grew up in this system. I know its drawbacks, and I’ve also… not wanted to follow it.”

"But to be honest—I can't help but yearn for it."

He Tao gave a light, self-deprecating smile.

"I want to get into the top university, not because I believe that acceptance letter proves I'm better than others. It's because I know that within the existing system, it will give me more resources and choices. People have to survive, don't they?"

"And... just like you said, if we want to overturn these rules, we have to step on them and get on top of them first."

"Maybe? I'd like to give it a try..."

Liu Sheng: "Okay, it's good that you've thought it through."

The sea of emotions finally calmed down.

He Tao sat down in front of the computer, preparing to write a research plan.

In reality, just as the police car pulled up beside the electromagnetic shielding barrier, a cold voice came from the fog:
"Hey! What are you doing? This is military business, don't come near!"

Yu Meng took out his police badge: "I am Federal Police Officer Yu Meng. I have come to investigate after receiving a report."

"There's nothing to investigate, get out of here!"

The other party was utterly impolite, but Yu Meng still tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor.

“I understand that you have tasks, and we also have responsibilities. We are all performing our duties, and I hope we can be considerate of each other.”

"Tch, how can our work be compared to yours? We're here to protect our homeland—"

"Then may I ask, which national defense law are you following when you extend your reach into the territory of the Eastern Empire? Which country's territorial security are you protecting?" Yu Meng finally turned cold.

The other party was speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of a gun being chambered rang out.

"Officer, watch your words. Don't blame me for not warning you. You haven't heard of the military might of the First Empire, have you?"

“Of course I’ve heard about it.” Yu Meng raised her eyes slightly. “But what I’m more worried about is—the lessons of the unification wars…”

Liu Sheng noticed that both Yu Meng and Yang Lingfeng had mentioned this matter.

Whenever this matter is brought up, the other party's attitude always softens. He scoffed, "Where's the search warrant? Is it ready?"

Yu Meng was indeed unprepared. "No. But sir, I can have my bureau chief speak with you."

"Director? Which unit?"

"Qingyang City Federal Police..."

Upon hearing the first few words, the person lost interest in the conversation.

"Ridiculous! Your bureau chief rank isn't even high enough for you to call me!"

"roll!"

The next instant, an electromagnetic shockwave was emitted from within the light curtain!

The police car was blasted away, rolled several times, and crashed into the field.

Fortunately, Yu Meng had already fastened her seatbelt.

The airbags deployed promptly, providing her with excellent cushioning.

Even so, the impact still made her head buzz and her vision blur. It took her a while to regain consciousness.

She struggled to open her eyes, her voice hoarse as she said:

"He Tao... are you alright?"

But no one answered.

She covered her head and looked to the side.

There was no one in the passenger seat.

He Tao has disappeared.

However, the car door was never opened.

Where could she go?

At this moment, something caught Yu Meng's attention—the front drawer of the car was open, and instead of the various odds and ends that were originally piled up inside, it was a strange space, like a passageway, with floral patterns that could be vaguely seen on the walls.

She unbuckled her seatbelt and carefully leaned over to take a look.

It turned out to be a deep, dark corridor, with darkness at the end.

When she tried to put her hand in, the space emitted a buzzing sound, and then it shrank back until only a black dot remained, barely visible.

Finally, the drawer was restored to its original state, which was filled with all sorts of odds and ends.

Her hand was still hanging in mid-air, just like what she had just seen, it was just a hallucination after being knocked unconscious.

"...Did I really damage my brain?"

She gave a wry smile and was about to withdraw her hand when she suddenly noticed a note tucked into the drawer's storage compartment.

"what is this?"

Upon closer inspection, the handwriting on it was quite neat and elegant, reading:

Trust me, Officer Yu.

There's only one person who would refer to themselves like that right now.

Yu Meng stared at the note, remaining silent for a long while.

For some reason, she actually started to believe it.

……

[Connection of Faith: 1000]

With Yu Meng's trust, Liu Sheng's "connection of faith" in this world has reached a perfect total.

The rest are the survivors who joined "Seven Mysterious Mountains" in the space.

Liu Sheng's lips curled up slightly.

At this moment, her consciousness was wandering through the constantly changing corridor.

She waited for Old Mu at the door of a room.

"Quickly, Professor Shen has boarded the warship! The entire ruins are about to be moved!"

"And you outside?"

"They're on the warship too!"

"Take me up."

“But…” Old Mu hesitated and scratched his head, “I haven’t been able to break through that barrier yet…”

"It's alright, I'll lend you my strength."

As she raised her hand, a gentle yet profound power flowed into Old Mu's body.

He was suddenly jolted, finally seeing clearly the thin, almost invisible barrier between reality and dreams.

He opened the door and went inside.

And so it became a reality.

It was as easy as tearing off a plastic film.

Before me was a cramped and oppressive ship's quarters, with only a three-tiered stainless steel bed welded to the wall, and the rest was a narrow passageway that could only be walked sideways.

This is the lower deck of the warship, where every inch of space has been squeezed to the limit in order to accommodate as many soldiers as possible.

Because of the sudden change in space, Lao Mu was caught off guard and fell headfirst off the bed, startling his colleagues who were tidying up their luggage in the aisle.

"Old Mu, what's wrong with you?"

Old Mu rubbed his head and got up, giving an awkward smile: "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt a little dizzy."

"Oh, that's normal, I'm feeling dizzy too."

Another colleague, lying in bed, said, "I thought this warship would be very stable, but I feel dizzy."

"Isn't it because we're in the lower deck? Of course the vibration is different here!"

"Heh, where else do you want to go? To sit in the upper first class with Professor Shen and Dr. Zhuo?"

"Hehe, I'd like to."

"Dream on. I have some motion sickness pills here, want one? ...Hey, Old Mu, where are you going?"

"Hey, Old Mu, we need to get ready for takeoff!"

However, Lao Mu ignored the calls from his two colleagues behind him and ran straight out of the room.

The lower deck is a mess right now. Everyone has just moved in from the mobile cabin and is busy securing their luggage and checking equipment. Many others are already lying on their beds with their seatbelts fastened, waiting for takeoff. So, Lao Mu running alone in the crowd looks particularly conspicuous.

He hadn't run more than a few steps when a soldier stopped him.

"Hey, what's up? Go back to your cabin!"

"I...I need to go to the toilet!"

The sergeant glanced at him a few times, and seeing that he did indeed look anxious, he finally waved his hand.
"Hurry! There's only one minute left before ignition!"

Old Mu quickly followed his memory and rushed to the public restroom.

It was just a small cubicle, so small that it was extremely difficult for even one person to turn around.

He held onto the sink and looked at the mirror on the countertop.

The door behind him slowly opened, and a woman walked out, looking at him in the mirror.

"Miss Liu!"

"Thank you, you can go back to your original cabin now."

"But... how are you going to leave here? Won't it be conspicuous?"

"Don't worry, I don't need to go out."

At this time-

"Hey, you inside, come out now!"

It was almost time when there was a knock on the bathroom door.

Old Mu, who wanted to ask more questions, could only leave and quickly return to his small cubicle.
