Chapter 539: Chapter 539
Qin Qiying only fixed her eyes on Chu Yunsheng’s face, and very politely picked a curtain that had already been prepared from the side, walked to the coffin, tied it around the coffin, revealing only Chu Yunsheng’s head.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Chu. I didn’t do this before because you seem to be unconscious. We’re worried that something will happen to you. So we have some specialists observing your body condition. But they are all doctors. I hope you don’t mind it.”
Chu Yunsheng glanced around, noticing that he seemed to be in a huge cave. The cave was clearly manmade. There were a lot of traces of reinforced concrete structures. At the moment, it seemed that it was destroyed by some powerful force. There were many cracks and a huge hole on the ceiling, although the area was slightly cleaned, the concrete rocks could still be seen on the ground. But from the dense reinforcement metal bars inside those opened up concrete walls, Chu Yunsheng could easily tell how much effort the people who built this cave had spent on this.
‘But where is this? Is it outside or inside the Arctic?’ Chu Yunsheng thought that he had to figure out this problem first, so he asked, “general Qin, where is this place?”
“The Arctic base.”
The person who answered him was not Qin Qiying, but the old man who was lying on a stretcher.
“It was built in 2006 and was not fully completed until 2012. There are two more bases that are similar to this around the world.”
The old man said every word, word by word every slowly as if each word would drain some energy from his body.
Chu Yunsheng did not know who the old man was, but he also did not ask. He just pondered for a moment, and then asked, “here is the core of the arctic region that those aliens said?”
If so, according to Huan’s information, it was likely to remain in the three-dimensional s.p.a.ce, and if he stepped out of the coffin, he would surely die.
The old man closed his eyes and nodded slightly. If it did not require him to say it, he would try not to speak.
Chu Yunsheng’s heart instantly sank. Although he didn’t want to stay with this woman, who he didn’t know whether she was still alive or not, he couldn’t leave the coffin at the moment. It seemed like if he wanted to get out, he must ask those people to move him out of the Arctic circle first.
At the same time, he was also surprised by the coffin’s amazing ability. It was even able to send people to the lower-dimensional s.p.a.ce without killing them.
According to Huan and Huang Bei Ying, this coffin belonged to the inspector of eight realms. Could it be that the so-called inspector was something really from the higher dimensional world?
“Mr. Chu, the commander does not have much time, he has something that he only wants to tell you. I will stay outside first, but you can rest a.s.sured that we will send you out safely.” Qin Qiying took a look at the old man, nodded her head, and then left.
Seeing Qin Qiying leave the cave, Chu Yunsheng s.h.i.+fted his attention to the old man.
The old man was also looking at Chu Yunsheng not saying a single word.
Chu Yunsheng did not know how long they had been staring at each other, but just when he wanted to ask, the old man suddenly stood up! He no longer looked like he was dying!
“Xiao Chu, you don’t need to be confused. Indeed, I do not have much time to live.” The old man, with grey hair, came to Chu Yunsheng and smiled faintly. “I am much older than you. So I hope you don’t mind me calling you Xiao Chu. I think you know better than I do that there are many kinds of death, not just the decrease in physical strength, right?”
Chu Yunsheng nodded and said, “in fact, not only are there a lot of ways to die, there are a lot of different ways to lie as well, being an old man does not necessarily mean that he won’t lie.”
The old man smiled quietly and waved his hand and said, “I understand why you are feeling that way. But it doesn’t matter. In the age of light, I’m only responsible for telling other people information. In terms of whether the information is a lie or not, it entirely depends on how people look at it.”
This time, Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second. Then he gasped in shock. However, he wasn’t sure if his memory was correct, so he said in hesitation, “I remember, I saw you on TV, in the news broadcast… It’s been more than twenty years, and I almost forget it… You are…”
The old man put out his hand to interrupt him, while shaking his head, “What’s past is past. Xiao Chu Do you believe in fate?”
Seeing the old man didn’t seem to want to talk about the age of light, Chu Yunsheng also didn’t carry on.
But when it came to fate, he just replied lightly, “a little.”
The old man smiled and sighed, “many years ago, I believed it, but then I changed my mind, until now, I begin to believe it again. In this world, there are too many things that always do work out as you expected.”
“Just get to the point. Your time is precious, so is mine.” Chu Yunsheng said straightway. He didn’t believe that the old man just wanted to discuss some philosophical questions with him.
“Before talking about my thing, let’s talk about yours first.” The old man walked even closer to the coffin and found a large piece of concrete, sat on it and said.
“My thing?” Chu Yunsheng’s eyes became stern. The old man became more and more mysterious. He didn’t look at the commander-in-chief of the resistance force at all!
The old man carried on, “Xiao Chu, the realm of the Inspector of eight realms won’t solve your fundamental problem, but I know a way to save your life!”
…..
Chu Yunsheng’s heart suddenly sank. What did he mean? What realm was he talking about?’
Was he talking about the coffin, or was he talking about the zero-dimensional s.p.a.ce? Or was the old man simply wanting to test him?
As the commander-in-chief of the last resistance force, it was necessary for him to confirm the information about Chu Yunsheng’s death. It mattered the future of the last resistance force. So this was very possible that he was testing him.
However, Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to talk to someone that had his real ident.i.ty concealed from him. He thought for a second and said, “who are you exactly? I am afraid that I will not continue this conversation unless I know your true ident.i.ty. You should know this already.”
The old man smiled. The wrinkles on his forehead were all squeezed together, it looked very ugly. Shaking his head, he said, “it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. But I can’t tell you now. You’re right, because I know your temperament, so about my ident.i.ty, I can only tell you at the end. Otherwise, one, you won’t listen to me anymore, and two, you have a prejudice against the information I am about to tell you. Regardless of which one of those two will happen, it will not be good for you, so temporarily, I can’t tell you.”
Hearing the old man’s crafty words, Chu Yunsheng couldn’t help but ridiculed, “what a joke. Fine! What is it!”
The old man nodded and said, “I know very well that you are here for the Atlantean, not here to visit me. So let’s start from Atlantis. By the way, have you ever heard of Pre-Cambrian beings?”
Chu Yunsheng subconsciously felt that the name was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but he could not remember it at the moment, so he only guessed, “it has something to do with the Cambrian force?”
The old man shook his head and said, “They just found a few things left by the Pre-Cambrian beings. It has nothing to do with them.” Then he suddenly changed the topic and said, “Mrs. Coline should have told you something about the Atlantean civilization, do you still remember?”
