Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 894: Chapter 34: Shrinking Land into Inches (Part 2)

This time, the exchange students, who were full of ambition and secretly prepared to compete with the US Air Force combat units, were confused.

With the vast region of Area 51, and less than three months remaining, confirming the Mafu Stone and then locating it has suddenly become apparent as a tricky issue.

Moreover, no one possesses a sample of this Mafu Mine stone. Even with the most advanced detection equipment, they can’t find the Mafu Stone in a short time. The most troublesome part is, no one has ever seen the Mafu Stone, so even if there’s a piece of Mafu Stone in front of you, you wouldn’t recognize it.

"No matter what, since it’s Michael who wants us to find it, the Mafu Stone must be something special. Anything irregular or unique that you come across, pick them all up; we’ll screen them with instruments later," the leaders from various countries, in their desperation, issued the same directive.

As time gradually passed, the exchange students from various countries could only seize any opportunity they found in the unpatrolled areas to start searching for possible Mafu Stones.

"When exactly are we leaving? If this drags on, all the opportunities will be seized," Ye Heng couldn’t remember how many times he questioned Wang Shuai.

Since other delegations left Cornell University one after another, and started using various ways to enter Area 51, Ye Heng initially remained somewhat calm. However, when he noticed that Wang Shuai neither booked airplane tickets nor train tickets, and didn’t even consider normal flight routes, he started to get anxious.

"Just wait a bit more, I am still gathering information about the Mafu Stone. Haven’t you heard that those delegations that left early are still secretly looking for the Mafu Stone, and no one found it yet," Wang Shuai’s responses were mostly the same: "Just wait a bit more, we’ll set off once we’re certain what the Mafu Stone actually is."

Ye Heng waited and waited, hoping for Juliet One to gather information, while the other two members in the delegation, Xiao Xian and Yiyi, were not in a hurry. One was hiding in the dorm all day, while the other frequently visited the lizard lab; it was only Ye Heng who was anxiously waiting for the signal to set off.

A month passed, with no progress made, Wang Shuai was still waiting for information, and finally, Ye Heng couldn’t stay still any longer.

One morning, without leaving a word, he advanced towards Area 51 alone.

Not long after he flew away, Wang Shuai stood in the apartment building, watching his disappearing figure, sneering: "Ye Heng, this is the last chance I give you. Since you chose to betray the country and the team, there’s no further use in keeping you here."

Juliet One moved over, "The search machine sent from the campus will arrive tomorrow."

"Very well, no one knows what the Mafu Stone is. But one thing’s for sure: it’s a treasure, an inconspicuous treasure. Since it’s difficult to discern with the naked eye, we might as well use an instrument with the duplicated ’Treasure Eye’ function to help us out. Surprisingly, Zeng Xuerou is actually quite capable, having designed this instrument within the limited time of a month. Juliet One, I think she already deserves to be recognized as an honorary director member of North Campus," Wang Shuai felt quite pleased.

"Indeed. Also, there is good news from Xiao Xian and Yiyi, we should be heading into the Reggie area soon. I believe there are many eager for your arrival already," Juliet One’s body flashed with bright red lights.

At dawn, the faintly stirring red light on the horizon appeared like a beast slumbering, poised to awaken.

Zhou Ziang stood by the window, gazing into the distant sky.

He felt a stir in his heart, a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Here they come."

Tens of kilometers away from the Reggie Town in a remote part of the Gobi desert within Area 51, three figures appeared.

"Wow, that was impressive; they really came in a flash," Yiyi finally confirmed she actually crossed over here in a breath from Ithaca to Area 51. How many continents did that leap cover?

Frowning and pondering for a moment, Yiyi quickly gave up on this rather tricky question. She couldn’t even distinguish China’s administrative divisions, so why worry about how many continents the US has.

She only needed to know that Xiao Xian learned how to shrink the earth into inches.

Aisha wasn’t aware that, before Wang Shuai approached Michael, Xiao Xian had already reached out to Zhou Ziang.

Zhou Ziang’s spiritual power mutation made it hard for him to fully utilize his power to enter Area 51, but it was different for Xiao Xian. After the sugarcane seedling mutated once again in the spatial dimension, she found the spiritual power there became purer, reaching a level similar to the Golden-grade, except that her cultivation limits prevented her from fully advancing to Gold grade.

With Golden-grade Spiritual Power as a prerequisite, she already had the ability to learn to shrink the earth into inches.

When proposing Zhou Ziang teach her the technique, Xiao Xian was initially a bit hesitant, not knowing that he readily agreed to impart everything without suspicion.

Wang Shuai seemed to have anticipated this, urging Xiao Xian to cling to Zhou Ziang, yet unexpectedly...he agreed so readily.

To Xiao Xian’s surprise, learning to shrink the earth into inches wasn’t as difficult as imagined, mastering it in less than a month and successfully testing it several times.

She seemed very familiar with the principles of shrinking the earth into inches, familiar to a degree that felt quite unsettling.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xian didn’t have time to ponder deeply and had to set off.

The current location is in the northeast of Area 51, and they have two targets: one being the Mafu Pit, and the other being Mafu Lake.

"From now on, stay alert," Wang Shuai gestured, as Xiao Xian and Yiyi exchanged glances and nodded heavily. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to go to Qidian () to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
