Chapter 87 Home
The huge engine sound was roaring. When the plane landed, the slight shaking finally awakened Chen Xiao from his meditation.
“We’re here.”
Old Tian beside him smiled slightly and gave him a comforting look.
Chen Xiao looked at the airport outside the window...
This is the Sydney Airport in Australia in the southern hemisphere.
In less than four days, all passports, visas, etc. were handled properly. Chen Xiao, accompanied by Lao Tian, came to Sydney, Australia, a country in the southern hemisphere.
Walking out of Sydney Airport, Chen Xiao turned a blind eye to the blond and blue-eyed white people around him. In fact, Chen Xiao has been feeling a little depressed recently and has gradually spoken less.
Before leaving with Lao Tian this time, after he returned home, he locked himself in the room alone, found all the relics of his parents, and looked at them for a whole day and night, as if he was trying to find clues from his parents' relics.
“…I hope he lives under the blue and free sky.”
In that diary, the last words of his parents have been flashing in front of Chen Xiao's eyes over the past few days. Some things he would not believe in before seemed to have revealed more and more doubts in his heart in the past few days.
I...really?
Although it was the first time in his life to visit Sydney, an internationally renowned tourist city, Chen Xiao did not have the mood to visit. Naturally, he was not in the mood to visit the Sydney Bridge, and there was also the Sydney Opera House, so he didn't even go to see it.
Even when he came out of the airport and sat in the taxi, Chen Xiao sat in the back seat, tilting his head, looking out the window in a daze - obviously, his eyes were not focal.
After staying in a hotel in Sydney for a day, the service company came.
The person who came was Chen Xiao’s old acquaintance: Hongqi.
When Hongqi walked into the room, Chen Xiao immediately stood up from the chair and looked at the woman alertly. After all, this woman was the first guy to show his supernatural powers in front of him!
Chen Xiao would not forget that it was this Hongqi who threw a car out with a scream - and almost killed himself together!
"Long time no see, young man. It seems that you look good. I heard you are doing well in Laotian and the others."
Hong Qi smiled relaxedly. She was still wearing a red suit. But the style of the clothes was different from what she had seen before, but - is all the lilac clothes of this woman red?
Chen Xiao was hesitating about how to say hello, Hongqi had already come over and hugged Chen Xiao enthusiastically: "Welcome to Sydney!"
Chen Xiao seemed a little uncomfortable when she was hugged by her. After all, Hongqi was a beautiful woman. Although she was much older than herself, she was suddenly hugged by such a woman. Chen Xiao's face still blushed.
"Haha." Hongqi smiled and looked at Chen Xiao: "It seems that you are feeling a little depressed. I know you are full of questions now, but I can't answer these questions - naturally someone can give you a satisfactory answer."
"Okay, Hongqi." Lao Tian smiled and said, "He must be in a bad mood. Don't say that."
As soon as he took out a box of cigarettes, Hongqi snatched it over, and he smiled while holding the cigarette box, "Uncle Tian, I remember you have quit smoking - and more than once!"
"It's been broken more than once. It doesn't matter if it's more than once." Lao Tian suddenly laughed, and his hand seemed to shake, and the cigarette returned to his hand.
Hongqi glanced at Chen Xiao and pondered for a while: "You can rest for a while, I have already arranged it. There will be a boat to take you out to sea tonight."
"Going to the sea?" Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment: "The headquarters of the service company is not in Sydney?"
"Have we told you that the headquarters is in Sydney?" Hongqi glanced at Lao Tian, then looked at Chen Xiao: "The headquarters is not here. You just need to listen to my arrangements... Moreover, there are many people in the headquarters waiting to see you, a genius with special abilities."
Wizards... Humph. It's more appropriate to say it's a "monster".
This time when she saw Hongqi, she still had a faint smile on her face. However, even when this woman was smiling, her eyes didn't mean much warmth. Perhaps this feeling made Chen Xiao not have a good impression of Hongqi.
In the evening, Hongqi drove the car and took the two of them to a private yacht pier. There was a yacht here that was already ready to go to sea.
Hongqi did not accompany them on the boat, but just sent them to the side of the boat.
"Isn't she with us?" Chen Xiao asked Lao Tian.
Lao Tian smiled slightly: "Well, the F1 Australian station is about to open recently, and this girl still has her own things to do."
f1?Australia Station?
Chen Xiao didn't understand. But he didn't ask.
Only Chen Xiao and Lao Tian were on the yacht to sea. Apart from that, there were no one else on the boat.
Fresh water and food are already well stocked.
Lao Tian, a guy born in the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, could even drive a yacht. The two of them sailed eastward and sailed on the sea for a whole day and night.
Chen Xiao’s geography knowledge told him that the South Pacific Ocean was the way east.
"The headquarters is an island. From a geographical point of view, theoretically, it should be located within the territorial waters of Australia. But..." Lao Tian said this and smiled mysteriously: "However, the world map of any country in the world, or all official maps or tourist maps of Australia, will definitely not be able to find the existence of this island!"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Lao Tian pointed to a blank dot on the navigation map.
"It's our 'home'!"
"home?"
"Yes, that's the name of the headquarters." When Lao Tian mentioned "Homeland", his eyes were a bit complicated.
According to Lao Tian’s introduction.
This island, located at the junction of the eastern Australian territorial waters and the high seas of the South Pacific - this island called "homeland", is the headquarters of the service company.
This is an island with an area of about two square kilometers! But this island does not exist in any official official map!
In other words, for the vast majority of people in this world, this island "does not exist"!
"You know. The service company has a long history, more than two hundred years... Humph, Australia was a British colony in the past, and at a very early age, the service company bought the island from the British government. This is a secret deal. Because the British government would never admit that there was such a thing: the British Empire sold its territory? That was the biggest scandal."
Lao Tian smiled strangely: "Do you know how much it cost to buy this island from the British government?"
Chen Xiao thought about it... an island with an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers is equivalent to a medium-sized city. Such a large piece of land should be of great value... let alone bought it from a country!
"One pound." Lao Tian smiled and said the answer.
Chen Xiao finally widened his eyes: "...one.one pound?!"
"Otherwise, what do you think it will be?" Lao Tian smiled relaxed: "Chen Xiao, although the superpower organizations like the service club do not know our existence to the people who are thrusting, they are not blind and deaf in the governments of some countries! Since two centuries ago, organizations like ours have had various contacts with some countries and local governments, including friction, struggle, and cooperation. However, with the changes of the times, a situation of non-interference has basically been formed today. They have defaulted on our existence - as long as we do not interfere with the normal operation of the world."
After pausing, Lao Tian smiled faintly: "Even if they don't want to do so, it won't work. A level A superpower can transform into the most terrifying warrior or destruction king in the world if they want. No country is willing to provoke a large superpower organization easily."
"So... the British government gave you this island of more than 2,000 square kilometers two centuries ago for a pound?"
"Well, the land is indeed 'send'." Lao Tian shrugged: "But the British government is very good at face. I heard that the transactions back then were very interesting. They had to give us such a place, but they needed a good excuse to the inside. In the end, the British king had to write a high-secret enthronement decree, enthrone the leader of the service club at that time as a noble, and then give him the 'home' island as a private territory in this way."
After pausing, Lao Tian continued: "But, of course, this enthronement order is absolutely without any record in the various documents published, and only exists in highly confidential documents and archives of the British royal family and the British government."
After a night of sailing, the sky was already dawning. Lao Tian checked the instruments and confirmed the location of the ship.
"Well, I'm almost going to enter the realm of my home."
After saying that, he suddenly ran to the cabin behind, rummaged over from behind for a while, and finally came up with a metal instrument.
This thing looks a bit ragged and even rusty. It looks like a small TV satellite device, an umbrella-shaped satellite that is upside down like a pan, and a round base below it. Chen Xiao clearly saw it. Perhaps because of the humid air on the sea, there were spots of rust on it.
Lao Tian carefully placed the thing on the bow of the ship and pressed a button on it. Soon, a display light under the satellite lit up, first with a red light, and then soon jumped into a green light.
"Okay. The signal is turned on and we can enter our home." Lao Tian's expression was also a little happy: "I haven't come back here one day."
"Uh...what is this?" Chen Xiao couldn't help asking.
"This? Well... is considered an identity card for entering the door." Lao Tian said lightly: "After all, it is the headquarters of the service company. Can any boat be close to the home island? Only when this thing is opened and the signal is connected to the home can it be recognized as one's own person and can smoothly enter the home's sea."
"What if... there is no such device?" Chen Xiao couldn't help asking.
