The Secret Base: Lighthouse Tower

Speaking of Haizhou,

The most famous place is actually Flower Fruit Mountain. In Journey to the West, Wu Cheng'en wrote, "Flower Fruit Mountain is the ancestral vein of the ten continents and the source of the three islands. It was established when the clear and turbid were separated, and it was formed after the chaos was divided. There is a cave in the mountain called Water Curtain Cave. Inside the cave are stone pots, stone stoves, stone bowls, stone basins, stone beds, and stone benches. On a stone tablet in the middle, it is engraved with 'Blessed Land of Flower Fruit Mountain, Grotto Heaven of Water Curtain Cave,' which is the residence of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven Goku Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong."

Many people remember Flower Fruit Mountain because of the line "I am the Great Handsome Monkey King Great Sage Equal to Heaven Monkey King, from the Water Curtain Cave Flower Fruit Mountain".

But in reality,

There is no Water Curtain Cave on Flower Fruit Mountain.

There is no Handsome Monkey King in the Water Curtain Cave.

The current Water Curtain Cave was artificially created later to scam money.

It means nothing.

After all, they're authors; you can't believe their nonsense.

Anyone who has actually been to Flower Fruit Mountain knows how terrible it is. Even Mr. Zhang doesn't want to go there to do marketing—it's truly shameful that it has fallen so low.

If you really want to go and see it, that's fine, but don't waste your money! Because Tong City is relatively close to Haizhou, and given his childhood fascination with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Li Yao and his best friend went there to play right after graduating from high school.

Very disappointed.

It's not as fun as Yu Bay or the Seaside Bathing Beach.

Alternatively, a self-driving tour along the West Embankment to enjoy the sea view would be more comfortable.

Unfortunately, neither Li Yao nor his best friend could drive at that time, and renting a car was both rare and expensive, so they didn't go to the West Embankment to take a look.

As for now,

Ha! Boss Li still doesn't have a car! Are you surprised? When he used to read novels, he always saw the protagonists buy, buy, buy after getting rich! Villas, luxury cars, designer watches, all sorts of luxury goods—they just bought them all! Spending money is definitely fun...

Sudden wealth can indeed lead to retaliatory consumption.

Unfortunately, all of Boss Li's money was earned through his own hard work and sweat! Of course, he couldn't afford to waste it like that.

Moreover, he doesn't need to discuss business or even use external things to make a show of things, and with his laid-back personality, he's even less likely to have any longing for luxury cars or houses.

All the money he'd earned over this long period had been reinvested in new projects! As a result, Li Yao now had very little money left in his account! On the way to Haizhou, Li Yao did some calculations...

The Spiritual Research Academy requires a continuous stream of money. Although Maeve Manufacturing is profitable, the expenses of establishing a global intelligence agency for Maeve are also very high. Li Yao hasn't received any money from her for a long time.

And recently I even saved up money to buy my best friend a Particle Accelerator weapon!

That's seriously damn expensive!

More than nine billion!

I've spent a large portion of the money I earned with "Filth Light" on this stuff lately!

Li Yao bought two units in one go to give to his best friend.

Let her take one apart and play with it, and keep the other as a spare.

The alien cleaning service ordered by the representatives from all parties from Li Yao cannot be completed in a short time, and it will take some time for the payment to be received.

So after Li Yao did some digging, he really didn't have much money left!

Looking at the scenery rushing past outside, Li Yao couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. "So poor..."

On the bus,

Big Sis Feng Li sat next to Li Yao and, seeing his melancholy expression, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother, why do you look so gloomy?"

Li Yao sighed, "We're short of money."

Big Sis Feng Li: "..."

How dare that bastard say such a thing?

She stayed in the provincial capital after the Guiyu town incident, and over the past six months, she and Li Yao have become quite familiar with each other. She has also witnessed firsthand how this guy makes money!

And it's a guaranteed profit-making business!

It's still a monopoly!

If this kid is poor, then nobody's rich, okay?!

Big Sis Feng Li glanced at Li Yao and said, "I saw what bourgeois greed is in you."

Li Yao didn't explain, and continued to gaze wistfully out the car window.

Not everyone has a close friend with such high expenses to support!

As the vehicle sped forward, Li Yao saw them cross a causeway bridge, and the boundless ocean slowly unfolded before him. The sea and the blue sky stretched into the distance, seemingly merging together! The magnificent, azure scenery filled Li Yao with a sense of liberation! He asked, "Where is this?"

Big Sis Feng Li: "The West Embankment, to prevent the situation from escalating, we've relocated all our personnel to Lian Island in Lianyun District. We've built Lighthouse Tower at Lighthouse Mountain to monitor this area. If you're tired, take a nap; it'll be a while before we arrive."

Although Lian Island is not large,

However, it is very narrow and long. After crossing the West Embankment, they still need to turn onto the East South Ring Island Road after crossing the East Ring Island Road to reach Lighthouse Mountain.

After considering the geographical locations of Haizhou and Liandao Li Yao asked, "Is the Lighthouse Tower for defense against the other side?"

Big Sis Feng Li nodded. "It's not just the other side, the sea area is also not peaceful."

The positions of many subspaces are not static; they are in a state of relative motion, undergoing phase motion.

Especially the subspace in the ocean,

They frequently change their location.

Big Sis Feng Li: "These incidents all happened along the coastline, so we also suspect that the Yellow Sea has been unsettled recently."

Humanity's current level of exploration of Earth is actually not very high. There are still many unexplored places on land, not to mention the ocean, which is even more difficult to explore.

During the casual conversation,

Li Yao and Big Sis Feng Li finally arrived at the Lighthouse Tower on the Lighthouse Mountain of Lian Island.

Lighthouse Mountain isn't very high. At its highest point stands a lighthouse painted white. The Wallfacers' stronghold here, the Lighthouse Tower, is located in a small brown house on the hillside, accessible by a winding cement road.

Once the vehicle came to a complete stop, Big Sis Feng Li said, "We've arrived."

She got out of the car first and stood guard around the area, followed by Old He, Zhou Li, Qi Qi and other entourage members, and finally Li Yao.

This would definitely startle any outsider! Who is this with such an air of importance! In fact, the casual-looking comrades from the Supervision Supervisory Department and the Martial Vanguard were already taking notice!

Li Yao looked at the small wooden house and wondered if it could hold so many people.

He didn't ask any more questions, but he figured the cabin was just a cover, and maybe the mountain behind it had been hollowed out.

The Chinese are unparalleled in their tunneling skills! Back then, Li Yunlong was able to dig tunnels and throw grenades to wipe out the Japanese positions. Tunnel warfare was also in full swing. The various facilities built in the mountains of Chongqing and Sichuan are still amazing to see today—let alone a mere island like Lighthouse Mountain.

Before they could enter the cabin, a soldier came out from inside.

He was wearing a specially made black trench coat, and his face bore the marks of years of weathering and redness from being exposed to the sea wind. Upon seeing Feng Li, he immediately saluted and said, "Please show me your identification!"

Big Sis Feng Li and her colleagues acted in accordance with the rules.

After the inspection was completed, the soldier led everyone into the wooden house.

The cabin was small and simply furnished, with only a few basic tables, chairs, and bedding. After entering the cabin, the soldier worked on a computer on the table for a while.

soon,

Li Yao felt a jolt beneath his feet, and then the entire floor of the room began to sink downwards...

He grinned. "Ha!"

I knew it would be like this! As the elevator descended, Li Yao saw that the entire underground base was filled with a science fiction feel, with bright white walls, silver steel alloy frames everywhere, and equipment that looked very powerful but whose purpose he did not know. Researchers wearing white coats moved around in and out.

Once they had finally settled down, one of the Wallfacers who was already waiting there stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Zhou Haiyang, the Wallfacers in charge of the garrison in Haizhou, greets you all. Without further ado, let's go and see our comrades."

After saying that, he turned around and led the way...

Second update. I accidentally added an extra 4 in the last chapter... hahaha, I really wish I'd actually written over 5,000 chapters... Hope you all enjoy reading!
