Chapter 2259 Cuteness Is Justice

When I came to the foot of the mountain bag again and looked up, I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Once upon a time, there was a thin layer of soil on the outer layer of the mountain. On top of the soil layer, there were some young grasses growing in clusters in the east and west.

Unlike now, when the soil layer is removed, it is just an upside-down bowl-shaped metal hemisphere. Apart from the dark gray metal outer wall, there are only a few twisted dead trees left.

Wait, dead tree?

Why didn't I pay attention to them at first?

What trees need is soil and water. Even a tree house needs to take root into the ground at regular intervals to absorb the necessary water and nutrients.

No matter how you look at this dead tree, it doesn't look like it can pull its roots out of the soil at any time and survive independently, let alone take root in metal!

Then there is only one possibility - the dead tree is just a disguise, a disguise used to confuse others and achieve the effect of deceiving others!

Pointing to a few dead trees, I ordered the evictors: "Clean up all the dead trees."

"yes."

The expulsors climbed up the mountain with long strides. One person held a dead tree and pulled it up with all his strength.

However, the dead tree seems to be growing on the ground, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot pull it out.

This further convinced me that the dead tree was just a camouflage to hide from others!

I immediately changed my order: "Don't pull up the tree, peel off the bark, peel it all off!"

With the sound of tearing cloth, everything inside the dead tree was clearly revealed.

They were metal pillars with strange shapes, looking like lifeless dead trees.

I couldn't figure out the purpose of the metal pillar, so I had to take off my gauntlet and touch its cold surface with my fleshy palm.

After fussing with it for half an hour, I couldn't find any mechanism that could be pulled.

"Is it possible that these are really just decorations?"

I was lost in thought.

"Eh? What are you doing up there! Come down quickly!"

A few steps away, Kailan's shouts reached my ears. When I looked sideways, I saw her standing anxiously under a metal pillar, rubbing her hands and shouting loudly.

Following her gaze, I saw a small figure standing at the top of the metal pillar, constantly flapping its gray wings, making crisp metal friction sounds.

I took a few steps forward, but my eyes still fell on the metal bird. I expressed concern for Kailan in words: "What's going on? Did something happen?"

"For some reason, it suddenly flew up there. No matter how much I shouted, it just wouldn't come down. Also, next time you speak, can you face me and say it? You will give me a feeling of 'I don't care about you at all.' What an illusion!”

"Hum, huh." I hurriedly looked away, coughed, and said seriously: "I'm sorry."

Kailan frowned and exhaled: "Forget it, I forgive you, Xiaoyi, think of a way to get it off, okay?"

"Isn't it good up there?" I asked in confusion: "Why do you want to take it down?"

"I always feel that these metal pillars are not as simple as they look."

I chuckled and teased her: "Is this a woman's sixth sense?"

Kailan rolled his eyes at me: "What sixth sense? I'm serious. Have you ever thought about why there are so many metal pillars on the smooth outer wall? And the shapes of each one are quite twisted and look like... Mutated old trees.”

There is no need for Kailan to remind me about this. I have already discovered it, but because I am not proficient in mechanical technology, I can't see their use at all.

"Do you want to find a way to ask for help?"

"Who can I turn to for help?" Kailan asked with a question mark on his face: "Who else in the Zephyr Continent today has the knowledge of ancient technology?"

"Have you forgotten? The Yadyan that pointed out the location to us is a living fossil that has survived since ancient times."

"But how do you guarantee that it must have mastered the ancient technological knowledge?" Kailan asked: "And even if it has mastered it, it does not mean that it can solve this mystery."

"Hey~" I looked at her with a half-smile, "From your tone, it doesn't sound like you want to unlock the secrets of the research base."

"I hate it, you saw it." Kailan covered his face and pouted: "From the beginning, I never thought about solving the mystery of the research base. I just wanted to hike the island with you and have a date. Just take some time to relax.”

"What about the improvement of the equipment strengthening machine?"

"That's no problem." Kailan patted his plump chest and said confidently: "Based on my understanding of the working principle of the equipment strengthening machine, it won't take long. Decades at the latest, the technical flaws existing in it will disappear. It can be conquered by me, and then, I will pass on the manufacturing technology and improvement technology of the equipment strengthening machine to our children, let him take over my work, and I can live a long life~"

"Haha" I chuckled twice: "With an average life expectancy of more than 200 years, we will probably just enter middle age in a few decades. It is the time to show off our talents and ambitions, and you actually think about it. Are you retiring?"

"What do you mean by retirement?" Kailan shook my arm and said in a rare coquettish manner: "I just want to spend more time with my dear fiancé~"

I laughed lightly and said lightly: "Oh, I'm really touched."

Kailan stuck out his sweet tongue, made a face, and then put aside his temper, pulled my arm, and said anxiously: "Don't think about it for so long, saving it is the most important thing!"

Curling my lips, I reluctantly put the two swords on my back, tightly grasped the protrusions on the metal pillar with both hands, and climbed up to the top bit by bit.

I'm not an expert at climbing trees, so my movements seemed very clumsy. This made Kailan standing under the metal pillar ridiculous, but it also made me angry.

I was so angry that I wanted to give up my job.

Fortunately, the man's self-esteem saved me.

After exhausting all his strength, he finally climbed to the top and reached out to grab the metal bird. He heard Kailan yelling from below: "Be careful, don't hurt it!"

I thought to myself: This bird is made of iron and steel and is stronger than me. How could I hurt it?

Just when my fingers were about to reach the mechanical bird, suddenly, the little thing jumped back and jumped more than an inch, directly avoiding my touch.

This move far exceeded my imagination.

"Hey, this little thing has quite a temper!" I sneered twice, wrapped my legs around the main metal pole, stretched my arms forward again, and was about to clamp the bird's tail. This guy actually Another small jump, barely avoiding my finger.

This irritated me. I reached out and wanted to chop it with a knife, but then I heard Kailan shouting hoarsely: "An Xiaoyi! If you dare to chop it with a knife! I'm not done with you!"

This woman is obviously my fiancée, why should she turn her elbow towards the metal bird?

Is it just because it looks cute?

Does looking cute mean justice?
