Chapter 485 Gifts from the Desperate (please vote for the big chapter)
Kaya Municipal Airport
At the exclusive arrival gate for VIPs, Lina, holding a folder in her hand and wearing a high ponytail, glanced at the time on her bracelet.
Not far in front of her, a huge airship slowly descended from the sky, and the surging smoke and dust blown up by the jet device spread out.
When the airship was completely settled, the Lena quickly walked over, with a group of security personnel in dark formal suits following closely behind her.
The passenger gangway of the airship lowered and stabilized little by little. Roger, who was a little tired, walked down the gangway. Behind him, followed a somewhat reserved girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Mr. Roger."
Lina quickly greeted him.
"Sorry, I had to deal with something on the way to the airport and was delayed for a while, so I was a little late."
Roger smiled and said to Lina.
"It's the greatest good news that you can come back safely."
Lina responded with a smile. As she spoke, she looked at the girl standing behind Roger, "This is..."
"My friend's child," Roger turned sideways and introduced, "her name is Ai Ni."
"Mr. Wei An mentioned this little sister Aini."
Lina suddenly understood. She turned her head and looked at Aini, "Hello, little sister, my name is Lina. Welcome to Kaya City."
"䱱···Hello···"
Aini responded to Lina's greeting with some restraint.
"This is the first time she has left home, and she has just been on an airship for so long. She is a little tired," Roger said loudly to ease Aini's embarrassment, and then asked, "Is Mr. Wei An still awake?"
Hearing this question, Lina's attention was quickly drawn back, "Mr. Wei An has fallen asleep again."
"That's it."
Roger was obviously disappointed.
Lina led Roger and the two of them towards the airport exit and continued, "Mr. Danilo is waiting for you at the Nolanka Group Building."
The cold wind blew the strands of hair from her forehead.
She looked back at Aini, who was wearing thin clothes, and called a security guard over, "Help little sister Aini get a fur coat."
"Eh?"
After hearing this, Aini raised her head in confusion.
She was about to refuse, but was interrupted by Lina with a smile, "It's okay, just treat it as a meeting gift from my sister. We recently purchased a lot of these coats from Rock City. If you don't like it, you can buy it later.
Return it to my sister, and now I will dress to keep out the cold."
Then Lina turned her head and looked at Roger, "Do you have any bows? You can let the robot help carry it."
Hearing this question, Roger paused and shook his head, "No."

Limen City Qunxing Pharmaceutical Building
Tumbling white steam filled the entire space, and He Ao's figure gradually climbed to the top of the machine.
Other researchers were walking in front of the stairs under him, and out of caution, he activated stealth this time.
Near the top of the machine, there was a small crack leaking steam. He Ao leaned next to the crack and took a look. He could only see the vague and fine pipes through the diffuse white steam, but could not see the scene inside the machine.
.
It seems we still have to find a way to get in.
He Ao climbed to the end of the ladder, turned over and jumped onto the top of the machine.
This machine is about four or five stories high. The top is only a little more than two meters away from the pipes on the ceiling. Densely packed thick pipes bend above and are inserted directly into the machine.
He Ao walked to the edge of these pipes and observed them closely.
There are small cracks at the interface between many pipes and machines, and white steam is constantly overflowing.
However, these cracks are not big. They are thirty to forty centimeters long, but less than a finger wide. Moreover, the viewing angle is extremely poor, and nothing can be seen through the cracks.
However, He Ao also discovered that these cracked places basically have traces of severe corrosion.
These metals cannot safely store the diluted gas of the Fountain of Youth and will still corrode.
Judging from the number of these cracks, the loss caused by the leaked steam should not be as large as an overall repair, so Qunxing Pharmaceutical allowed these cracks to exist.
He Ao bypassed one pipeline after another.
The life force around him was so strong that He Ao could feel the moisture condensing on his face and hands.
If you live in such an environment for a long time, even if you have not drank from the Fountain of Youth, you may be transformed into some kind of monster by these forces.
If the cracks were left in intentionally due to cost concerns, it is unlikely that there would be enough cracks to fit a person inside.
However, this kind of large machine should have a passage leading to the inside of the machine for easy maintenance. When He Ao just circled around the machine, he did not see the relevant passage, so this passage is most likely at the top of the machine.
As he moved forward, he glanced around, and finally found a circular access door near the center of the machine.
There is a round handle fixed on this access door, which seems to be able to be opened directly.
He Ao walked to the access door, squatted down, and found a mechanical keyhole on the edge of the circular door.
The keyhole is rarely plated with a layer of mithril material, probably to prevent it from being corroded by the power of the Fountain of Youth.
He Ao stretched out his hand and pulled the ring, applying slight force, but the entire circular door did not move at all.
He straightened up, thought for a moment, then stood up, quickly ran to the edge of the machine, squatted down and pressed on the machine, mobilizing his consciousness in the palm of his hand.
As his consciousness gathered in the palm of his hand and came into contact with the shell of the machine, a huge roar suddenly exploded inside the machine. The pipes inserted into the machine trembled, and countless white steam spurted out from the cracks in the pipes.
out.
As he expected, there was a large amount of 'qi' in this machine. Even across this huge machine, the qi could sense the existence of spiritual consciousness and cause riots.
These roaring sounds instantly attracted the attention of the researchers below, and they quickly gathered under the edge where He Ao was standing.
At the same time, He Ao ducked to several other edges and used his spiritual consciousness to trigger riots. When everyone's eyes were attracted by the sudden riot, he returned to the center of the machine.
This time he once again caused his consciousness to immerse himself in the machine, causing a violent riot in the center of the machine, but the attention of the researchers below had already been attracted by other rioting areas.
He Ao used his spiritual consciousness to figure out the structure of the door's lock tongue, then pulled out his dagger and cut off the lock tongue. Then he pulled the ring on the door with one hand and lifted it slightly, and the circular door leaf was suddenly lifted.
.
A long downward vertical ladder appeared in He Ao's field of vision. The bottom of the long ladder was completely covered by white mist, and the contents behind the long ladder could not be seen clearly.
He Ao held on to the long ladder, closed the circles, and then quickly went down the ladder.
After descending almost four or five meters, a vague steel plane appeared in He Ao's field of vision.
However, this does not seem to be the lowest level of the machine, because the long ladder continues to extend downward.
He Ao thought for a moment and jumped onto the steel platform.
The entire plane was surrounded by flowing mist, and there were only some fine pipes in his field of vision, but He Ao clearly felt that the mist was flowing in a certain direction.
He held the dagger in his backhand and moved forward along the direction of the mist flow. Some hazy aura surrounded him, which was the 'qi' escaping in the air.
He Ao thought for a moment and began to absorb the energy in the air according to the martial arts practice.
Pate's martial arts talent is not very good. The 'circuit' of his body is blocked, and the normal absorbed energy cannot pass through at all.
But what is filled in this mist is not the most basic energy, but 'qi'.
As He Ao breathed in and out, these qi poured into He Ao's body without any scruples. Although these qi were condensed differently from He Ao's own, they quickly adapted to He Ao's body and began to evolve into
A familiar state to He Ao.
How then began to direct their flow toward those blocked lines.
The huge force collided in the body without any scruples, and along with a burst of pain from the inside out, He Ao felt that the originally closed lines were torn apart, and the energy began to flow along those lines.
At the same time, his physical fitness, which had remained unchanged, began to slowly improve.
This is the energy released by Qi changing his body.
However, these improvements in physical fitness were a drop in the bucket compared to He Ao's current state, so he did not concentrate on improving his physical fitness, but instead guided these qi to quickly circulate in his body.
At the same time, he continued to go deeper inside. The deeper he went, the more Qi escaped around him.
He Ao mobilized the Qi that entered the body to swim around the body, and then gathered it in the center of the left and right feet and the Tianling Gai.
Severe tearing pain came from inside his body, but he remained calm, suppressed the pain, and continued inside.
After walking a few steps this time, in the fine mist, neatly arranged 'glass containers' appeared in his field of vision.
These glass containers are cylindrical in shape, as tall as a person, and are about two meters apart from each other. They are neatly arranged together, like rows of bookshelves in a library.
He Ao looked around, and there were more than a dozen containers in his sight alone, and in the hidden mist, it was obvious that there were more hidden.
Each container is shrouded in a thin pipe, filled with white mist that obscures sight.
He Ao had some bad premonitions in his heart. He walked to a glass container and looked inside. It was completely white inside. He saw nothing but the vague outline of a person.
While He Ao continued to absorb the 'qi', he continued along these containers. Soon, he found a container where the mist was not that dense.
He also saw clearly what was in the container.
That is a 'person', a young 'person'.
He 'stands' inside the container, with hazy mist surrounding his body. His chest is opened, exposing the internal structure to the mist.
The white mist soaked into his body, causing his chest to still rise and fall slightly.
He Ao mobilized his consciousness and stared at the body of the person in this container.
The energy level of his limbs is not very high, it seems that he has barely refined his energy and reached the level of E level.
A warrior of this level can condense his own 'qi' in the next stage, but for ordinary people, it will take a long time.
Obviously, the people who built the machine didn't want to wait this long.
There is some kind of guidance equipment on the upper and lower sides of this container, which guides the diluted gas of the Fountain of Youth into the young 'man's body to forcibly catalyze the 'qi', and then flows with the 'qi' into the pipe below.
He Ao turned on his super memory and stared at the container.
There is still an extremely thin layer of shadow on this young man's body, which is the soul that is about to dissipate. Every time the mist completes a 'catalysis', these shadows dissipate a little.
After death, the soul will quickly dissipate, and then the body will be damaged, so Roger's active technology to maintain the soulless body is so precious.
But a body without a soul cannot mobilize energy to operate and gather 'qi' in any case.
The state that He Ao saw could only show that the person in the container was put into this 'glass container' while he was still alive.
At that moment, he should have died, but under the influence of the diluted mist from the Fountain of Youth, his body remained in a dying state and became a 'machine' for producing 'qi'.
But this 'machine' also has a service life. When his soul completely dissipates, his body will be irresistibly damaged. At that time, the machine may have to be 'replaced'.
He Ao clenched the dagger in his hand, his expression cold.
He suddenly felt that the name Life Potion was a bit of a dark joke.
This is indeed a potion made from 'life'.
He raised his head and looked at the standing 'containers' in the mist.
From the perspective of super memory, he could see the souls dissipating one by one in these containers.
And as he watched, sad and painful moans echoed in his ears.
It seemed to be a prayer, and it seemed to be a plea.
The despair of having his body destroyed alive and placed in a container while he was still alive impacted Heao's mind.
These incomplete souls beg for final death and eternal sleep.
Sometimes, even death itself is a luxury wish.
He Ao felt something in his heart. He took out the bowler hat stuffed in his arms, tore it apart, and used a dagger to cut out a rough mask shape.
Then he used the pure white blood on the coat as paint to paint the mask with colors other than black.
After a while, he made a cloth mask that looked a bit nondescript.
There is only a strange black and white smile on this mask.
He Ao put on this mask.
At this moment, countless 'Qi' around him became restless and crazily merged into his body.
The qi from the center of his feet and Tian Ling Gai quickly gathered together, and they gathered together under the pressure of the powerful power of Chaoyi.
The cathode generates yang, and the anode generates yin.
Three cyclones were formed at the center of his feet and Tianling Cap respectively. Then these three cyclones rose and fell respectively, converging into two cyclones under his navel and between his eyebrows.
Then the upper and lower masses expanded rapidly, gathered in his chest, and contracted suddenly.
He Ao thought, and a new spiritual consciousness was generated in his mind.
This was the first time he had condensed new divine consciousness except when he was promoted to Qi Refining and God Transformation.
And with the continuous influx of 'qi' in the surrounding environment, the two cyclones between the eyebrows and under the navel, which were originally lacking due to the condensation of spiritual consciousness, expanded rapidly again.
He Ao stretched out his hand and sensed the energy in the air.
He found that his affinity with the 'Qi' in the void had become extremely high. The Qi that he had to actively inhale before now naturally flowed into his body.
He seemed to have constructed some kind of 'ritual' unintentionally.
He glanced at the glass containers in the mist around him. The 'qi' from their lives was the only 'gift' that these desperate souls could give.
He Ao withdrew his gaze, turned off Super Memory, and walked towards the long vertical staircase he just came down.
The core of this machine is obviously still at a lower level.
——
"What do you do for food?"
From deep in the mist, pitch-black sharp claws opened the circular door cover beneath their feet.
Two researchers were standing nearby shivering.
Then two more sharp claws stretched out from the air and pierced the chests of the two researchers. White blood flowed down. "The lives you don't want can be given to those in need."
A silver-haired man wearing a white coat and white gloves walked out of the mist.
He retracted his claws and threw the two dead researchers aside. Then he glanced at the opened circular door on the ground and the long vertical ladder under the door, and jumped down without hesitation.
