Three days passed by in a flash, and October 20th came quickly.
Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England.
It's past 5 o'clock in the morning, it's still dark, and there are almost no pedestrians on the street outside.
In Wenchern Manor, a figure dragging a suitcase came out of the taxi.
He turned around and used the translator to talk to the driver for a few words, then took out his bank card and swiped it on the payment machine.
"Think, thump, thump~"
The old taxi roared away, leaving only the man holding the suitcase.
"Is this Wenchern Manor? It looks really big."
The man looked around and muttered to himself.
This was his first time to come to such a wealthy manor. He had only seen places like this on TV.
As an ordinary person living in the city and busy with life every day, his experiences and what he saw and heard along the way gave him the illusion that his life had been changed.
Looking at the surrounding environment that was very different from the Chinese country and exuded a unique and exotic atmosphere, the man couldn't help but feel a slight restlessness in his heart, and he was even more looking forward to what was going to happen next.
The visitor who visited Wenchien Manor in the early morning was none other than Li Xiang, who had come all the way from China.
Li Xiang set out from Qionghua City, followed the flight and ticket schedule, and successfully arrived at the address specified by the other party after a 19-hour journey.
Speaking of which, this is his first time going abroad.
He used to live at home and had to work and make money every day. Not to mention going abroad, he didn't even leave Qionghua Market a few times.
Now he suddenly embarked on a journey abroad, and may have to live abroad for a long time in the future, which still makes him feel unreal.
After dragging the box for some distance, Li Xiang entered the core area of the manor.
Although the sky is dark now and there is no sunlight, the surrounding roads are clean and the street lights are on, lighting up the manor, so it is not difficult to see things clearly.
It was a row of small houses full of European pastoral architectural style, about two or three stories high, with red bricks and green tiles, and they looked very beautiful.
Li Xiang noticed that the layout of these houses was very strange. Not only were they very close to each other, they were also structurally connected to each other.
Put together, it looks like a small spiral circle.
Next to the house on the outermost side of the small circle, paint, ladders, bricks and other items are piled up. It can be seen that it is in the construction stage.
Li Xiang walked towards the row of buildings and saw someone walking out of the house.
"Are you Li Xiang?"
The man came straight to him. Although his words were asking, his tone was full of affirmation.
"Yes, I am Li Xiang. According to the organization's instructions, I came here... to report."
As he spoke, he also quietly looked at the person in front of him.
This is a tall white man with short brown hair, handsome and handsome.
He spoke Chinese, but he didn't sound very proficient in it.
"Haha, don't be restrained. Being able to come here means that you have passed the organization's test and been recognized. From now on, we will all be companions. Just treat this place as your home."
The man said, stopped again, and continued:
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Dane. I am currently the person in charge of this sub-base. If you need any help at the British base in the future, you can come to me at any time."
Although there are slight problems with pronunciation in many places in his paintings, this does not prevent Li Xiang from being able to feel the other person's enthusiasm.
"This is just a branch base?"
Li Xiang was surprised. He originally thought he had arrived at the other party's headquarters, but what he didn't expect was that it turned out to be just a branch.
Moreover, what made him feel a little flattered was that the branch manager came to greet him in person.
Looking around the environment with curiosity, he followed Dane into the house without stopping.
"Oh ho, there's a new person here."
As soon as he entered, he heard a voice coming from the front.
The speaker was a young man in his early twenties, tall and fair-looking, who looked a bit like a famous domestic star.
Next to him, there were seven or eight Asian-looking faces standing. From the language of their conversation, Li Xiang could tell that these people should also be from China.
"Hello, I am Zhou Yu. Like you, I am also a newcomer in this batch."
The man came over and greeted Li Xiang.
The two parties shook hands and exchanged names, which was considered acquaintance.
Only then did Li Xiang know that these people were from an expedition group called "Canglan".
They have also passed the test of newcomers to the Star Alliance, and like themselves, joined the organization today.
After some understanding, he found that these people seemed to be rich second-generation people with extraordinary backgrounds.
There is no need to deliberately inquire about this, or to deliberately show off.
Many times, you can tell just by looking at the other person's temperament, words and deeds.
According to the past, Li Xiang and these people would not have any intersection, nor would they have any common topics. The two parties were not in the same circle at all.
But now, after joining this mysterious organization, they have one more thing in common and a common topic - the extraordinary world.
It can even be said that in this extraordinary world, it seems that all identities and status in the outside world are no longer important.
Everyone subconsciously ignores those things.
Here, everyone has only one identity, and they are all the same, that is, "newcomers".
Everyone in the Canglan Adventure Group was very enthusiastic. After Dane left, they took Li Xiang and started discussing the place they were going to go to today.
"You know, I heard that we will go to the headquarters today. After we officially join the Star Alliance, we should live there for a long time."
Zhou Yu said with a mysterious expression.
"Oh? Where is this headquarters? Did the manager tell you?"
"This...I asked, but he didn't say anything. He just asked us to be calm and said he wanted to leave a little suspense."
Zhou Yu scratched his head and said, although there was a little helplessness on his face, his eyes were full of longing.
In fact, we can't blame Dane for deliberately selling things out. He doesn't even know where the so-called main base is.
He had only heard Star Master mention that the approximate location there was actually in the center of the Pacific Ocean.
As for what it looks like specifically, I'm sorry, he hasn't been there either.
Today, not only Li Xiang and everyone from the Canglan expedition group are going there, but he and his brother Sam will also go there.
And, unlike those newcomers, after the two of them pass, they can directly participate in the spiritual enlightenment ceremony of the three major temples and become an awakened person.
This was also the promise Zhang Xiaoman had made.
Next, Li Xiang and the people from the Canglan expedition group discussed here for about an hour.
During this period, servants came to replace them with tea and snacks.
Zhou Yu and the others were okay, but Li Xiang, who had never enjoyed this kind of experience before, felt it was novel.
In the past, when I went to restaurants and other places, there would be waiters to serve me.
But that is completely different from the feeling that a private maid in a manor brings to people.
When he thought that he could bid farewell to the mediocre life of the past and start a new life in the future, his heart felt hot.
…
As time passed, when the clock in the house pointed to seven o'clock, a huge aircraft arrived in the manor.
This is Zhang Xiaoman's second anti-gravity car, named "Dawn".
Different from the situation two days ago, the size of Dawn has changed again, from the size of an off-road vehicle to a spaceship as high as a two-story building.
Obviously, it has been upgraded again.
Zhang Xiaoman was also very helpless. He originally planned to use up the two fractional points in his hand, but unexpectedly, he accidentally stumbled across this guy.
The anti-gravity vehicle was once again upgraded to a blue military all-rounder.
According to the current progress, as long as it is upgraded once more, it will become purple, which is his current Dawn space frigate.
Although this goes against his original intention, it is not a bad thing. When the time comes, he will just save points and buy new ones.
Now, car upgrades come with upgrade benefits.
The original plan to take Li Xiang and others to Rebirth Island in two batches now seems to be useless.
With the size of the Dawn, it is more than enough to pull them away together.
Zhang Xiaoman doesn't need to come in person, everything can be controlled remotely using the vehicle's built-in neutrino communication system.
As Dawn appeared on the scene, everyone present was shocked.
Everyone in the Canglan Adventure Group was lucky. After all, they had seen small anti-gravity vehicles before. Although they were not as big as this, they were still somewhat mentally prepared.
Even this kid Li Xiang, when he saw this scene, he was stunned and speechless.
To truly see the extraordinary power of that organization, he actually saw Zhang Xiaoman closing the dimensional rift at the beginning.
He had seen a lot of monsters, and even had a close encounter with them once.
The two tall vines sprouting from the ground were still fresh in his memory.
But now, the huge aircraft full of futuristic science fiction atmosphere has changed his impression of this organization again.
From the pure oriental fantasy style, it has become a foundation style that incorporates black technology.
However, no matter which style he chose, it did not affect his yearning for that mysterious and extraordinary world.
Next, everyone landed on the spaceship and started from England, through the Arctic zone, and into Rebirth Island in the center of the Pacific Ocean.
While Li Xiang marveled at this magical experience, he finally solved a doubt in his heart.
He had never understood why the time on the ticket was set to arrive at night.
For a sparsely populated place like Oxfordshire, it is basically difficult to find a vehicle to get off the plane during this time, and it is also quite inconvenient to move around.
The taxi he was looking for before was the one he finally got after waiting for an hour.
But now, as the anti-gravity vehicle crossed a ten-hour time zone and arrived at Rebirth Island in the center of the Pacific Ocean, he finally understood.
Even though the sun has just risen over the UK, it's already the prime time in the afternoon here.
"Unexpectedly, such a place actually exists here! It seems that Brother Yong's previous guess was right. The sudden anomaly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is indeed related to the Star Alliance."
Inside the Dawn, Zhou Yu looked at the scenery outside the window through the holographic interface and said with a sigh on his face.
On the side, before Shi Yong could speak, another boy spoke up first.
"Did you see that? I told you a long time ago that this must be the place we are looking for. You still didn't believe me when I told you."
Li Xiang's attention was attracted by him and he looked over curiously, but the other members of the Canglan expedition group did not show the slightest emotion about this.
"Brother Xiang, don't listen to the alarm clock and brag. He has a nickname in our expedition group, called 'Prophet'. Whenever there is a situation, he will always say something like 'I knew it a long time ago'. In fact, He has no idea, we are all used to it."
"Hey, stinky salted fish, I already knew you were going to say that about me, so I specially prepared some information about this island. I'm telling you, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm a knowledgeable person. A man of God.”
Then, the alarm clock told him the information he had compiled about Rebirth Island.
These were all collected by them in the days when the island first appeared. Now it is almost impossible to search for them through the Internet.
However, although there is a lot of information, not much is useful.
Basically, they are all foreign experts in geology, oceanography, military and other industries. They use their respective professional knowledge to speculate on the causes of abnormal events in the Pacific Ocean.
Even so, Li Xiang was fascinated by what he heard and had a general understanding of the land he was about to set foot on.
"So, to sum up, the main base of the Star Alliance is actually on this island. The probability is actually very high. After my calculation, it should be close to 53%."
At this time, if Liu Chengfeng of the Xuanwu Army was here, he would definitely be very surprised.
Because this young man who seemed to be bragging and talking nonsense, the result he inferred was very close to the 67% probability given by their think tank.
Although there is still a margin of error of more than ten points, there is only one person on the other side after all.
Moreover, the intelligence he can use to analyze is also very limited. It is not easy to be able to achieve this level.
"Hey, Mr. Manager, do you think what I said is right?"
The alarm clock also looked at Dane standing aside.
Dane frowned unconsciously.
How can I know that? I only know that the headquarters of the Star Alliance is on Rebirth Island. As for how that island was formed, I have never heard of it.
However, although he was depressed in his heart, he still had a calm expression on his face.
After all, he is now a "manager", and he should be considered a senior expert.
He just pretended to be calm and nodded slightly to the other party:
"Not bad, I guessed something for you."
