Because this huge base was a city where the land was quite precious, the buildings were densely packed and sprawling, crazily occupying the area in the air. A large number of aerial platforms had also been built, so the movement of the aircraft felt very ingenious and flexible.
It was like a combination of a frog and a dragonfly. Sometimes, two long legs would stretch out from under the aircraft's belly and step on the edges of the buildings like a frog jumping. Then, it would accumulate power and jump up or avoid obstacles, then use the thrusters to fly for a while in a convenient place. It was full of whimsical ideas.
After the aircraft's last jump, it landed directly above the connecting passage that Sheyan was about to enter. Then, the sealed door above the passage opened. First, six fully armed military policemen jumped down and pointed their futuristic guns at Sheyan to prevent him from doing anything strange.
Then, a general in a black military uniform with the red insignia of a Major General appeared in front of everyone.
Major Ryckley trembled violently. He looked at the general in front of him as if he had seen a ghost. He desperately spoke into the communicator in a trembling voice.
"Anbar, didn't you say it was the Colonel on duty? Why is it the Dark General? "
There was no answer. Anbar had obviously cut off the communication as if he had seen a ghost or a deadly plague. The Dark General looked very young, with a fair face and a head full of bright blonde hair. He looked like Leonardo during the filming of the Titanic, full of enthusiasm and sunshine.
He first asked the military policemen to put down the muzzles pointing at Sheyan, then asked seriously,
"What's the matter?"
Sheyan shrugged his shoulders and said in a regretful tone, "I'm a contractor from the Dark General.
"I'm a contestant from the past, General. I was sent here to carry out a related mission. In fact, I arrived at this space base less than 30 minutes ago. When the Major inspected me, he asked me to take off my trousers, spread my legs and stick out my buttocks."
"I'm sure that's not the mission I'm supposed to carry out, and the mission I'm supposed to carry out has nothing to do with homosexuality. So I refused his request, and we had some unpleasant disagreements. That's about what happened. "
The Black General nodded.
"It sounds like you've been treated unfairly, but for now, this is only your side of the story."
Sheyan smiled and replied.
"I don't mind finding a lawyer to plead my innocence, and I don't mind swearing to the Bible that everything I said is true. In order to uphold the dignity of the law, I can even wait for the trial to begin. But if I do that, I will have to miss the deadline stipulated in the conscription order. To us contestants, that means a lot of trouble. It may even be related to life or death."
The Black General said calmly.
"The court isn't the only way to find out the truth. As for your worries about being late, you don't have to worry about that …. Because your investigation and sampling mission this time is a little complicated, you need to go through some detailed explanations and some simple training beforehand. I'm in charge of training your team, and I happen to be in charge of checking if any of you are late."
At this moment, a group of fully armed soldiers hurriedly ran out from the opposite passage. But when they saw the Dark General, they hesitated and stopped in their tracks. A Colonel moved closer to take a look, and after confirming that it was the Dark General, he very straightforwardly turned around and left...
Sheyan did not say anything. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at the Black General. He wanted to see how the Black General would perform like Sherlock Holmes and figure out the truth of the matter. But he immediately realised how foolish his idea was, because a military policeman immediately turned on the communicator and shouted.
"Calling the Logistics Department, calling the Logistics Department! Immediately pull up the holographic video of the last half an hour at Exit A-18 and restore the entire process of the incident. You have 30 seconds to do this. Authorized person: C51! OVER。”
Five seconds later, a few probes came down from the ceiling and aimed directly at the previous entrance. They then projected a holographic projection of Sheyan, Major Ryckley and his two subordinates at the scene of the incident.
More importantly, this was not a simple projection at all. It was a holographic 3D model of the human body that vividly imitated their expressions at the time of the incident. As for their voices, they should have been recorded long ago, so they could just play it now.
The Black General watched everything with a blank expression. It was not until Sheyan threw that punch that the light of the Nightmare Imprint on his chest turned into a fist that the Black General raised his eyebrows and said.
"Strength specialty? You're very strong. It's quite rare for a Growth Hunter to become a Lieutenant Colonel of the Empire with this specialty. "
Sheyan's heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be surprised.
"Won't our information be provided to you by the Nightmare Realm?"
The Black General glanced at Sheyan and said, "I don't know.
Maybe it's because my rank isn't high enough that I can't obtain your relevant information. "
While the two were talking, the holographic projection had finished playing. The Black General turned to look at the half-dead Major Ryckley.
"Do you have anything to say for yourself? Major. "
Major Ryckley trembled violently, but he did not utter a word. Two of the Dark General's personal gendarmes walked up to him and dragged him away like a dead dog. Only then did the Dark General reach out his hand with a smile. His smile was like a spring breeze. "I'm sorry, Captain Ryckley. I'm sorry, Captain Ryckley.
"Legally speaking, you have not violated any laws of the Empire. Privately speaking, I also think that what you did just now was right, so please put aside these unpleasant things. Welcome to Alps Base 7, Lieutenant Colonel. I'm Major General Fiji."
Sheyan also held his hand.
"Nice to meet you, sir."

Sitting in Major General Fiji's personal aircraft, Sheyan began to get up close and personal with the huge base.
Generally speaking, the style of this place was not much different from that of Sheyan's era. It was very similar to the scene in the first ring road of a big city — densely packed high-rise buildings, platforms that tried their best to expand the area in the air, and a layout that completely ignored the lighting between the buildings, which only sought to be as compact as possible. In addition, through the transparent glass curtain wall and giant pipes, one could also see that the streets were crowded like ants. It was a bustling city that was bustling with activity 24 hours a day.
The biggest difference between this place and a modern city was that because it was directly exposed to space, the surrounding high-rise buildings were stuck to the surface with a very advanced curtain wall. There was also a layer of metallic luster on the surface, as if it was plated with a layer of stainless steel. It gave off a dignified and oppressive feeling.
The surface of the streets was not paved with concrete or asphalt at all, and there were no vehicles in sight either. Other than the ten-meter-long pedestrian path on both sides of the street, the rest of the street was lined with metal conveyor belts. Each metal conveyor belt was about three meters wide, and the speed was clearly marked on it.
The metal conveyor belt closest to the sidewalk had a speed of two kilometers per hour, which could be said to be quite slow. However, the conveyor belt next to it had a speed of twenty kilometers per hour, and the one in the middle had a speed of sixty kilometers per hour.
Under normal circumstances, people could easily step on the two-kilometer-per-hour conveyor belt. There would be footprints on the conveyor belt, one on the left and one on the right. After stepping into the footprints and needing to return to the sidewalk, all they had to do was stomp hard on the foot closest to the sidewalk, and the conveyor belt would naturally send them back to the sidewalk.
If they needed to go to a faster conveyor belt with a speed of twenty kilometers per hour, they would have to stomp hard on the foot closest to the faster conveyor belt. The mechanism under their feet would then smoothly send the passengers to the conveyor belt they wanted to go to. The ingenuity of the design and the exquisite technology were amazing.
Logically speaking, with such a design, it was very difficult for traffic jams to occur. However, from the situation before entering the base, mainly referring to the first and second rings of the base, it clearly indicated that there were similarly large scale traffic jams here. Moreover, they were frequent occurrences. From this, it could be seen that the population of this base had reached an astonishing number that Sheyan could not even begin to imagine.

After seeing the scenery of the future world, Sheyan's spacecraft approached the center of the base. The center of the base was in sharp contrast to the surrounding high-rise buildings that wished to occupy all the space. A magnificent pyramid stood in the center of the base. Its length and width should be about three kilometers. Around the pyramid, there was a transparent glass wall as the ceiling. Below it, there were forests, gardens, running water, and other places for rest and play.
"It seems that the class gap between humans in the future will become even stricter," Sheyan thought to himself. "This should be the residence of the upper echelons."
Major General Fiji saw that Sheyan was in a daze, so he misunderstood and smiled.
"You're curious about this pyramid, aren't you? There aren't many contestants who have been here before, so their reactions to this structure are more or less the same. The contestants from the Middle East of ancient Earth will be very excited and friendly, and will say, "Wow, it's so cool." The rest of the contestants simply think that the upper echelons of the empire should be controlled by the descendants of the ancient Egyptians, but that's not the case. "
