“The fence isolating the Earth from Noah World has a total of three entrances,” Upon seeing the determination of the redheaded woman, Smoot could not help but turn his eyes towards the distant world’s entrance covered in a red light, with worries apparent in his eyes. After a few seconds of contemplation, he pointed at the helicopter parked not far away and said, “Get on the chopper. We’ll be able to reach the next entrance in 15 minutes time. Miss Daphine, as a professional soldier, I can’t ask you unnecessary questions but I’ll issue a report to describe and evaluate all of you and your companion’s actions as usual after this operation… I believe you do understand what I’m saying, right?”

“Thank you, Sir.” Daphine followed the officer and walked up to the armed helicopter. Due to the language and culture barrier, she only managed to understand what the colonel meant when she had already reached the chopper’s door. Immediately, she was jolted alert and said in a whisper, “Your planet and ours lie in the same universe. We share a common interest so at this moment, any understanding is crucial.”

Smoot nodded silently and climbed into the helicopter first with a sullen expression.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of spacecrafts that were originally hovering in the Earth’s atmosphere slowly started their engines, before finally landing on the foreign world’s passages scattered around the world.

In the next month, light curtains of different sizes and intensity bloomed everywhere, separating the Earth and the foreign worlds with the cooperation of soldiers from various countries.

The name ‘Atlantis’, that had only appeared in ancient legends before, also began to appear in the daily life of the Earth as a ‘consanguineous civilization’ that existed in the same universe as the Earth’s civilization, becoming the craze that took over the entire world!

However, Zhang Lisheng, who was in Noah, which had a poor communication service, did not know anything about this.

After sitting in a small passenger plane, leaving behind wizard gus in the LS slaughterhouses’ underground trenches in 12 different oases, he excitedly drove an advanced solar-powered off-road vehicle filled with fresh water, compressed food, shotguns, and a satellite locator all by himself, exploring and looking for an untouched pristine oasis to make his ecological inspection while hoping to refine a fierce poisonous gu that had omniscient power, so that he would not have to fall into a dilemma of being unable to undergo a transformation when he reached Rank-12 Wizard, but his Manifestation Gu had not hatched yet.

Unfortunately, the judgment made by the US government’s scientists were very accurate. Except for its lack of water resources, Noah World was indeed a world that was very suitable for human migration. Most of the native creatures here were very docile and amiable, even the small number of carnivores here were not at all fierce.

After spending over 50 days summing up the food chain relationship of three to four unoccupied oases, Zhang Lisheng finally realized that he was wasting his time and had to return to New Washington A with the guidance from the satellite locator.

When he drove the solar-powered off-road vehicle with a speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour for two days and one night to finally return to the oasis, it was already in the evening. He slowly parked on the side of the road and looked at the bright city that looked like a big work site from afar. He breathed a sigh of relief and hesitated for a while before taking out his phone to dial Tina’s number.

Ever since Zhang Lisheng came to New York, he had not contacted his girlfriend due to some subtle emotion that he was feeling. After spending nearly two months on some sort of tedious self-torturing trip, his uneasy feelings finally settled down.

The phone rang a few times before it was connected. A familiar female voice resonated in the young man’s ears. “You finally remember to call me, baby! If I count from the day the LS slaughterhouse in New Washington A started to operate, I’ve been waiting for this call for a whole two months…”

“I-I’m sorry, Tina. I originally wanted to contact you when I reached Noah but I had to launch all the factories in the 12 oases. After I launched them all, I had a last minute inspiration to carry out a scientific investigation in several pristine oases in Noah World… I, um, I…” Zhang Lisheng was stunned. He racked his mind, coming up with all sorts of reasons to answer Tina’s accusation. However, he gradually lost the ability to come up with an excuse and just stayed silent for a while, before finally smiling wryly and saying, “I’m sorry, I should have gone to see you first no matter what. I won’t do this anymore. It will never happen again.”

“Since you’re quite sincere in your apology, I’ll forgive you. Where are you right now?”

“I’m at the entrance to the north of the oasis. Where are you? I’m going to find you.” The young man secretly sighed in relief when he heard that the girl had forgiven him.

“I’m attending a charity party at Ginger Hotel.You just have to drive along the road and then…” Tina paused and said again, “You know what, forget it. You’re not familiar with this place and there are very few cabs here. I’ll just go fetch you. Just walk straight for a while and you should be able to see a large parking lot. Park your car there and wait for me at the entrance.”

“OK, I’ll see you later,” Zhang Lisheng said and hung up the phone.

After driving for about 300 to 400 meters along the road, he saw a large parking lot on the roadside. After turning into it and having parked the car properly, the young man picked up the tablet that he had left in the passenger seat and walked out of the off-road vehicle.

The weather in the desert was always hot during the day and cold at night. Even though the temperature difference in the oasis was not as disparate as in the wild, the cold wind could still send chills down someone’s spine.

In this cold night wind, Zhang Lisheng looked at the bright stars in the sky that were poles apart from Earth and tightened his desert windbreaker that was so dirty that its color was no longer distinguishable. Striding out of the car park, he waited for a while before finally seeing a red convertible jeep with a glaring headlight speeding in and stopping abruptly by his side.

“What’s up with you, baby? You look like a street artist in New York.” On the driver’s seat, a beautiful girl, in a low-cut evening gown with a fur coat on her shoulder, looked at the young man and said with surprise.

“What a euphemistic statement, Tina. You might as well just tell me directly that I look like a beggar.” Zhang Lisheng shrugged and opened the car door. “I’ve been wandering around in the desert for two months, going from one oasis to another to investigate the ecological environment there. In the end, I only managed to come to one conclusion. The pristine animals in Noah World are very docile, completely different from the carnivorous desert animals on Earth that are usually small in size but extremely aggressive and would usually have venomous glands in their teeth.”

“Oh my dear, baby! I suddenly feel a little guilty looking at you like this. I shouldn’t have blamed you just now.” The girl stretched her neck and kissed the young man before saying apologetically, “Billionaires, foreign world’s god, powerful Chinese wizard… You have too many identities, and I’ve forgotten that you’re also a ‘Frankenstein’ who would forget sleep and food when you start your research.”

“No, no! It’s indeed my fault for not contacting you. You have the right to get angry.” Zhang Lisheng smiled awkwardly. “That’s right, Tina. The sun has just set. What charity party is this to start so early?”

“Oh, it’s a party hosted by Trish, so I’m going there early to see if there’s anything I can help with. She has just been elected as the community administrative officer and the purpose she holds this charity party is to raise funds for the new immigrants within her area of jurisdiction to solve the heating problem,” Tina answered and turned the car into the city.

“Trish has successfully been elected? Oh, I should really congratulate her.” Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while. “But, what kind of position is this ‘community administrative officer’? Why have I never heard of it before?”

“It’s right that you’ve never heard of it before. It’s a temporary elected position for a new immigrant city and will be abolished three years later. It can be said as the mayor of New Washington A.”

“Oh, that sounds quite amazing,” Upon hearing his girlfriend’s vague explanation. Zhang Lisheng said with a grin, “Maybe I should donate three to five million to help her…”

“No, no, no, Lisheng! You can ‘play’ this rough in US politics,” Tina interrupted the young man. “A community administrator is about equivalent to the town mayor so the maximum amount of a single donation for her charity party should be around 1000 dollars.”

“Why?”

“There’s no why, baby. The game’s rules are like that.” Tina turned the car left and right in the spacious city road of New Washington A and smiled as she explained, “A politician must follow their status to show their ability, particularly so for the young people, otherwise, they would easily lose the voter’s favor.”

“What a hypocritical system!” Zhang Lisheng became silent for a while. Looking at the new buildings and the construction sites on both sides of the road, he shrugged. “I originally planned to implement democracy under theocracy after I’ve seized Shrimp World No. 2 in order to gain explosive productivity but it looks like I must reconsider it now.”

“A democracy under theocracy?” Tina burst into laughter. “Oh baby, this is my first time hearing such a grotesque phrase that is full of contradictions! You have quite a wild imagination! Oh yeah, how is it going with your conquest plan of the foreign world?”

“There has been great progress,” Zhang Lisheng replied with a big grin. “The cross-sea expedition of the Wizard Li’s tribe fleet has successfully extended the territory to 18 islands and 250,000 square kilometers. With another two to three brilliant victories that give several times of growth like that, I’ll be able to occupy the entire Hellfire sea region.”

“That successful? This is amazing!” Tina excitedly stopped the jeep in front of a hotel that was six to seven story high and lowered her voice. “But now that the Atlanteans are here, you must be more careful when you’re on Earth.”

“What?” Zhang Lisheng froze immediately. With his pupils suddenly narrowing, the red-haired couple with slender limbs and extremely fair skin, who got down from the hovering helicopter that he saw two months ago in Noah World’s entrance, suddenly flashed in his mind, making him shriek in horror.

“You still don’t know that the Atlantis’ spacecrafts have landed on Earth, Lisheng?”

“The Atlantis’ spacecrafts? The Atlantis’ spacecrafts…” The young man looked at the girl in solemn and asked, “Do you mean the luminous shuttle-type spacecraft that suddenly appeared two months ago?”
