Chapter 881: The Arrival of the Secret Realm
Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan ran fast; as soon as she got on the car, the reporters surrounded the room, but after searching for a long time, they didn't find anyone; only after asking did they know she had returned to the hotel in advance.
Fortunately, this wasn't the final; if Miss Luo Quan won a medal and did this, it would probably be a problem.
However, Miss Luo Quan probably also knew that the first round of the elimination tournament wasn't particularly important, and leaving directly didn't matter.
If she really won gold in the final, no matter how sleepy she was, she would have to wait until after the interview to leave.
After returning to the hotel room, Miss Luo Quan slept until noon.
After waking up, she only felt hungry, her stomach rumbling non-stop; after eating an "athlete special lunch" at the restaurant, she finally regained her vitality.
Glanced at her phone, there wasn't much discussion about her competition on the internet.
After all, she didn't win a gold medal, and that battle with Adeline also appeared average in visual effect after being processed; it couldn't be called exciting, it was just a simple crushing, which was an expected victory for her.
Compared to that, a photo on Twitter caused a lot of discussion.
It was a photo taken by a Japanese fishing boat when it went out to sea to catch fish; in the center of the photo was a lush green mountain, and this mountain was floating on the sea level.
It looked like a mirage, but from the photo, it looked like it really existed, not like an illusion.
Originally, this was a natural wonder, and most of the comments were also marveling at the wonder of nature.
However, what was eerie was that the tweets related to this photo were deleted cleanly not long after, and searching for them also showed no relevant content.
This made people even more strange; an ordinary mirage didn't involve any sensitive topics in Western society, so why was it deleted so thoroughly, and even discussion was prohibited.
Could it be that this sea mountain is real?
Fortunately, such thoughts just flashed through most people's minds and didn't stay to think carefully.
After all, in this era, most people still believe in science, and things like ghosts and gods only exist in film and television works.
However, for those true insiders, the appearance of the sea mountain meant that the secret realm they had been looking forward to for a long time was finally about to open.
For a time, a large number of drones rushed to the sea area where the mirage was located, starting to detect whether this area was suitable for life forms to enter.
Before this, the magnetic field in this sea area was quite chaotic, many high-precision instruments failed, planes couldn't enter at all, could only fly around, and would sound alarms once they approached.
Diesel-powered fishing boats could sail in, but not long after entering, the cameras failed, and then they lost contact completely, and until now, they didn't know what happened.
But this time, sending planes to approach, they found that the chaotic magnetic field had actually stabilized, and the instruments were no longer affected.
Combined with the photo taken by the fisherman before, people who knew about spiritual energy recovery boldly guessed that this secret realm had opened.
As for whether humans can enter, whether they need to wear oxygen masks, they still need to test it.
In the past, if foreigners wanted to do an engineering project, even if it was just a simple project like road repair, sometimes they had to pull skin for two or three years before they could start construction.
But this time, the foreigners' actions were unexpectedly fast; they solved the mirage photo matter on Twitter in the morning, and by noon, they had already sent out a cruise ship carrying goats.
The destination of the cruise ship was the core area of the secret realm sea area, testing whether life forms could enter, and also wanting to see what was inside.
The progress was quite good; the ship didn't lose contact like before after entering the secret realm sea area.
However, the scene captured by the camera was a vast expanse of fog, as if sailing on the River Thames in London, England in 1952.
Although it wasn't pitch black where you couldn't see your fingers, it was gray and white where you couldn't distinguish people from animals beyond one meter, and couldn't see the situation around at all.
Currently, there was only this little news, which was sent to the group by Director Qi Yuan; additionally, he also asked everyone to be prepared, as long as the situation was explored, they would set off to enter the secret realm immediately.
The news that there was a secret realm on the sea had already attracted quite a few forces, and this time the secret realm was about to open, and another large batch came.
Private flights flying to Tokyo from all over the world surged, fishing boats near the sea area were basically rented out, and there were also a large number of ships sailing from several nearby countries.
If there were no accidents, by then, there might be tens of thousands of people gathered in the secret realm.
For every one more person participating in the competition, their probability of getting good things would decrease by one point.
Thinking that this was originally a treasure that belonged only to them, and now they actually had to share it with so many people, Director Qi Yuan felt incomparably angry, wishing he could tear that leaker into pieces.
After Director Qi Yuan revealed the news to Miss Luo Quan, her father also called her; didn't talk about anything else, just talked about this sea secret realm matter.
This time the Albert family gathered a ten-person exploration team, preparing to go in and try their luck.
However, listening to her father's tone, he wasn't particularly concerned about this secret realm.
He also scoffed at the so-called elixir of immortality; the original words were: "If there really is this thing, Qin Shi Huang couldn't find it, why should we be able to find it?"
Have to say, her father sometimes looked at problems quite thoroughly; he didn't count on finding such heaven-defying things in the secret realm.
But antiques probably wouldn't be few; this thing is now hard currency in the inner world, with very high transaction value, so if you can take more, you must take more.
As for her daughter, Eric just said to be careful.
He was quite confident in his daughter's strength; be careful and cautious, and she shouldn't encounter any big problems.
And Miss Luo Quan basically listened to her father talking the whole time, and didn't actively mention any matters related to the secret realm.
It wasn't intentional to hide it from him; mainly because this kind of matter really needed to be kept secret, which was also to avoid bringing trouble to her father.
By night, the fishing boat sailing in the fog finally had new progress.
After sailing continuously for nearly ten hours, the sheep on the boat were in good condition, and couldn't see any signs of hypoxia or poisoning.
And the thick fog around the fishing boat finally started to become thin, and the outline of a high mountain also appeared in front.
Everyone knew that the sea immortal mountain was finally going to reveal its true face, and the leaders of various forces were excitedly guarding the screen, wanting to witness this historic moment.
As long as the real existence of the secret realm is confirmed, this means that the earth will welcome a brand new era.
Half an hour later, the fastest fishing boat finally broke through the fog and displayed the full picture of this mysterious zone to mankind.
In the lens was a huge island covered with green plants, with a high mountain reaching into the clouds on the island, and golden light flashing from time to time; could it be the legendary elixir of immortality?
"How is it, have the test results come out?"
Wilkins asked his assistant urgently; this was the first time in several years he was so anxious.
"Air pollution index is almost zero, extremely suitable for human habitation, spiritual energy concentration is five times higher than the extreme value of the outside world!"
Soon, the assistant gave the data transmitted back by the detector.
Wilkins slapped the table and said almost with a roar: "Wake up all those bastards who are sleeping like pigs, pack up equipment and luggage, and set off immediately!"
It wasn't just Wilkins who issued the same command; all other leaders of forces gave orders to prepare to set off.
There was only one goal, and that was this sea immortal mountain that looked like a paradise!
"I have something to leave for a while, maybe a few days, maybe half a month, can't say when I'll be back, you don't have to worry too much, just travel well in Japan."
Before leaving, Miss Luo Quan also greeted Wen Xia and Mia and the others.
The situation in the secret realm was unknown, and she didn't dare to rashly take them with her, so as not to encounter threats she couldn't protect.
Wen Xia didn't know what Miss Luo Quan was going to be busy with, but since her friend didn't intend to say, she didn't ask, just hugged her and told her to be careful.
After saying goodbye to her friends and family, Miss Luo Quan gathered with the large force on the road outside the hotel overnight.
The bus that transferred them was already prepared, just waiting for the personnel to arrive and then set off.
Miss Luo Quan wasn't the last one to arrive; several martial artists of folk forces didn't know what they were doing, and got on the bus at the departure deadline.
Originally they could have left long ago, but to wait for these few people, it was dragged on for several minutes.
Director Qi Yuan's face was gloomy, but he didn't say much.
These folk martial artists were said to be folk, but their backers were actually quite big, and they didn't exceed the time, so there was no reason to erupt.
After the personnel arrived, the driver stepped on the gas pedal, and the bus immediately drove toward the port by the sea.
Although it had been confirmed that planes could fly over the secret realm, there was no place to land on the island, so except for Russia, everyone chose cruise ships.
Can only say that the Maos are the Maos; no matter what they do, their courage is boundless.
Even that beach by the sea, which was so limited in length, they dared to land; they really weren't afraid of death.
People from other countries didn't dare to be so reckless; after all, there wasn't only this one secret realm, and they could find others later, but they only had one life, so no need to play with their lives to occupy a time advantage.
Come to think of it, although Director Qi Yuan proposed to discuss it in detail after landing on the island before.
But now he couldn't contact the team leaders of all parties; this clearly meant seeing who landed on the island first; first come first served, those who landed late could only eat others' leftovers.
So now everything had to be a race against time; several buses crashed on the road at night, and they didn't care at all when they encountered red lights.
Fortunately, it was in Tokyo in the middle of the night, and the traffic flow was relatively small.
If it were during the day, it would already be a major traffic accident with a hundred cars colliding.
Rushed to the port all the way, more than two hundred people ran to the ship under Director Qi Yuan's loud urging.
The yacht was very large, and the speed was faster than that fishing boat that led the charge.
According to calculations, if they sailed at full speed along the route of that fishing boat, they would reach the secret realm island in at most seven hours.
And after sailing into the fog, Miss Luo Quan intended to sleep for a while, and after resting her spirit, go to welcome tomorrow's pioneering.
Her sleep quality had always been very good, and she would fall asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
And Director Qi Yuan, who was sitting in the cockpit, didn't have any sleepiness; his heart was filled with anxiety, anticipation, and excitement.
He didn't know what kind of world would be waiting for them, nor did he know what this secret realm meant for them.
Looking at the golden light flashing on the mountain, it was obvious that there were quite a few treasures hidden, and no matter who finally got them, they couldn't avoid being coveted by others.
So Director Qi Yuan had already thought about how to tear his face with other forces and grab them, and his thoughts drifted very far.
However, no matter how excited the spirit is, people are not made of iron after all.
Director Qi Yuan also knew that if he didn't rest now, he wouldn't necessarily have time to rest after arriving tomorrow.
So after drinking a cup of hot water, he wrapped himself in a quilt and lay down on the sofa in the cockpit to sleep.
During this period, the yacht sailed steadily without encountering any situation.
It was in the second half of the voyage that they received a distress signal, saying that they bumped into another ship, the power system had problems, and they couldn't move forward temporarily, wanting a passing ship to help, give them a ride, and there would be a heavy reward afterward.
Director Qi Yuan climbed up and asked, only to know that the person who sent the distress signal was A-San, and then he let the crew block this signal and continued to rest.
If it were others, those who could be saved could still be saved; anyway, it wasn't far.
As for A-San, let's forget it.
And there was more than one captain who had such thoughts as Director Qi Yuan.
A-San's yacht that lost power was parked on the water, and there were quite a few passing ships nearby, but they all bypassed, and not a single one was willing to go over and pay attention to them.
In this kind of situation, A-San could probably only let the port send another ship over.
But if that were the case, it would be several hours slower than others.
But there was no way; who let their reputation be really rotten; there were not many countries willing to lend a helping hand.
After sailing for seven hours, the yacht, like the fishing boat that led the charge before, rushed out of the thick fog.
Almost in an instant, everything around became clear, and the secret realm island was right in front of them, clearly visible.
It is worth mentioning that there was a plane parked on the beach of the island.
Although the left wing was broken, the fuselage was still complete, and there were no signs of burning, landing quite steadily.
"Really let the Maos land?" Seeing this scene, Director Qi Yuan was dumbfounded.
Not only because of the reckless behavior of these Russians to the limit, but also because they might have started exploring this fairy island several hours ago.
And besides Russia, those people like Wilkins had also landed on the island now.
The yachts parked by the beach were proof.
"Speed to shore, we have no time to waste!"
Director Qi Yuan's heart was already burning like fire at this moment, wishing he could grow wings on his back and just fly over like that.
Hearing this, the crew also opened full horsepower to sprint.
A few minutes later, the yacht stopped by the shore, and all the Huaxia martial artists on the ship had rested for a night; at this time, they could be said to be full of spirit.
Director Qi Yuan first conducted a roll call; when everyone was called, they all appeared excited and couldn't wait. ===== CHAPTER 882 =====
