After arriving in Dongdu, He Ao and other specially appointed researchers selected for the expedition were to take a special flight provided by the Research Institute to Liu Zhengyun's private island.
Once they received their basic equipment and supplies on the island, they would then head to the gateway to the ruins.
Since the oil field where the ruins' entrance was discovered was located right in the middle of the ocean, far from the coastlines of Central Earth, the flight they were on was relatively long.
Nearly nine hours.
After escorting He Ao to the boarding gate, Zhang laughed and patted He Ao's arm, "Make sure you come back alive."
He Ao opened his mouth.
The last time he had heard this phrase was from Roger, back when he was known as Regit.
Hmm... Regit probably didn't survive.
The statement sounded like some sort of dreadful omen.
