Chapter 25: South Pole Base
Just on time, hours before leaving for the South Pole, Han finally received the package sent by Pathless Origin. He didn’t even have time to open it before he was already on the military plane with Li Yu.
Shua~
The United Government’s God Strength grade military cargo airplane was travelling at an incredible speed. Aside from carrying Han, Li Yu and a few other passengers, the cargo was also carrying supplies and resources for the base at the South Pole. Although these military grade cargo airplanes were gigantic, it was also capable of ascending vertically and was equipped with 6 super turbo-engines.
The plane quickly arrived at the aerospace in the South Pole. Han looked down from the plane, only to see a world covered in white snow. The Extinction Site Administration base looked like a chessboard from the sky. There was a giant spherical carbon fiber building in the center, surrounded by a couple more smaller spherical buildings that were connected by pipe-like transparent corridor. It looked quite modern.
Stepping off the plane, Han’s two feet touched the icy ground and he could immediately feel the chill entering his body.
“We are here, this is our base. Anyone that enters this base will have to go through security, and if you want to leave the base you will need to write a report for approval. This place is not somewhere to just go in and out at will.” Wu Di (previously called Xiao Wu by Li Yu) carefully explained to Han.
Han nodded, the bases of the Extinction Site Administration were Earth’s secrets, so the management and administration part was obviously stricter than anywhere else.
A lot of people came out of the base to help transport the cargo, and Wu Di introduced Han to everyone. After hearing that Han cured Li Yu’s zero-degree region atrophy, they all gave him a big thumbs up and became very welcoming towards him.
After all, Li Yu was the pillar that was supporting the Extinction Site Administration, everyone’s leader. Han did a huge favor for Li Yu which was the same as doing a huge favor for everyone here, and not one of them knew how they could ever repay the favor.
Li Yu went to the control center while Wu Di took Han on a tour around the base.
You could tell that the Extinction Site Administration was very well funded and had access to a lot of resources due to all the equipment in the base. Aside from facilities that catered to normal day lives, there was even libraries, pool tables, tennis courts, 12 virtual training pods, spacious multi-purpose gyms, and so on.
Han got a single room of about 20 something square meters, the window went all the way to the floor which gave a beautiful view of the snow. There was also a vertical showering unit, a study desk and a small sofa.
“You can leave your things for now, let me take you to register your DNA data.” Wu Di said.
Han threw his stuff onto the bed and followed Wu Di to the center of the base. At the center of the base lied the headquarters and it also served as the entrance to the Extinction domain (an alternate space that you enter after entering the Gate at the Extinction site).
Wu Di pointed at a spherical machine and said, “This is a complete DNA assessment system, it will not only record your DNA data but also track and record your Power Source Index. You just have to stand on this machine for a few seconds, and you can come back anytime later on and to check your progress. The machine will automatically generate data table, telling you how effective your training is and what improvements to make. In addition, your DNA data is recorded as well and that will be your passport here. We don’t have any access cards at the base, we only use DNA.”
Han nodded, shocked by how advanced the equipment was, just one machine could have that many purposes.
At that moment Li Yu walked past with a few commanders from the administration and saw Han was about to do the DNA assessment. He was pretty interested in the results and he stopped to introduce Han to the other colleagues, “Here, this is Han, it’s all because of him that I’m able to come back to base.”
Everyone nodded with respect and looked at Han with appreciation.
The machine was silver colored and it was like a tube. When someone stands in the tube, there will be a red ray that scans the entire body.
Han stood still. Seconds later, the system screen displayed Han’s basic statistics.
“Natural Growth rate is 2.1?! That can’t be right!” Wu Di looked at the results and was completely shocked.
“Let me see.” Li Yu curiously walked over, he stared at the screen for a long time and finally said in a deep voice, “It’s really 2.1… Oh my god.”
“Chief, did you just come back from the hospital or Taobao (Chinese Amazon)? Growth rate 2.1, every day he just have to stand still and he can grow 2.1 points, honestly where did you dig up this monster?”
“That’s an incredibly high natural growth rate! It reminded me of Ke Lake.”
