Kapitel 22: Return
Hunter camp.
Once, a hundred people were stationed here, but now it is desolate and uninhabited.
The ground was littered with overturned canopies, damaged facilities, wrecked trucks... and unidentified charred objects.
That day, when the Thunderbird escaped, the heavens unleashed five thunders in fury, sparking a small fire that turned this place into ruins.
Without the presence of humans, nature will reclaim this land.
The climate on the Green Lizard Star is warm and humid, with plants climbing over rusted fragments, making it hard to distinguish between moss and verdigris.
In the northern area of the camp, dozens of aircraft were parked haphazardly, but most of them had varying degrees of damage.
A rain had just passed, and a few clusters of brightly colored mushrooms emerged from beneath the spacecraft, attracting passing insects.
"Click"
The sound of a door opening.
This aircraft was quite cooperative; the door didn't fall off the moment it opened.
But it was somewhat high, and as the girl climbed onto it, it felt as if she had stepped up five or six stairs at once.
She clutched the car door with both hands, struggling as if she were rock climbing.
These large aircraft are all equipped with boarding ladders, but who knows where they have been lost to.
They also mocked, saying only women needed such things.
Indeed necessary.
Wen Meng's height wasn't considered short; it was the average height for a high school girl, but it couldn't compare to that of an adult male.
The rain made the ground muddy and uneven, causing the aircraft to tilt slightly under the pull from one side
Wen Meng lost her balance and fell backward.
But she did not fall.
A strong support held up her back, preventing her head from hitting the ground.
Then, that force gently grasped her waist and placed her entire body into the cockpit of the aircraft.
Wen Meng turned her head, and outside the window was the head of a giant, fluffy, golden bird.
It stood upright, even taller than the aircraft.
Was gazing at him with deep affection.
"Thank you, Jin Lu." Fortunately, there was Thunderbird.
"You're welcome, honey!" Thunderbird's tone was languid.
Next to the thunderbird, there were two equally enormous creatures
However, only the Thunderbird could meet Wen Meng's gaze.
Little Black: ..
Xiao Bai: .....
Their disaster beast forms were currently only half the height of the Thunderbird.
Wen Meng used some space capsules to separately store the more important items.
Then he folded the treehouse again, turning it back into a capsule.
It was also placed into the glass bottle.
This was the second time moving, and Wen Meng, familiar with the process, moved quickly.
To leave a planet, one must rely on a spacecraft.
Wen Meng searched through the entire pet value store but couldn't find any flying devices.
However, she suddenly remembered this place.
At that time, Li Yuan forcibly shoved her into the aircraft, not knowing where he was taking her.
Wen Meng was just here to try her luck; she never expected to actually find a functioning aircraft.
This aircraft was much larger than the one she had taken at that time.
But no matter how big it is, it can't accommodate three adult disaster beasts!
The little bear king was already sitting quietly in the passenger seat
Its size was the smallest, and from a distance, it looked just like a teddy bear doll.
The remaining three..
The co-pilot's door opened.
Xiao Hei swam directly up along the outer wall of the aircraft.
Each inch it climbed, the neck of the aircraft tilted by one degree.
Seeing Little Black make a move, how could Little White fall behind?
With a leap, its snow-white paw clung to the back seat.
The two hind legs were still tiptoeing, not fully up yet.
If each person took a side, it would still be manageable
The problem is, they both chose the same side.
So, the aircraft flipped over.
Fell into the mud.
The little bear king fell into Wen Meng's arms, and Wen Meng fell into the arms of the thunderbird.
Only the joyful world of the Thunderbird was achieved.
Just as I was figuring out how to start it, how did the aircraft end up falling over?
Wen Meng: "..."
Little Black and Little White exchanged an angry glance, confessing without a word.
Xiao Bai: "Don't you have any idea of your own weight?"
Little Black: "You really have no sense."
Xiaobai: "I'm talking about you!"
Little Black: "Bounce back."
"Stop!" Wen Meng ordered.
Now is the time to escape, yet they are still fighting each other all day long, not united.
It has been like this since childhood.
It's my own fault, I spoiled him.
Wen Meng grabbed one of Xiao Bai's front paws and gave it a light slap on the palm
He frowned and admonished, "Don't cause trouble in the future."
It truly loved to stir up trouble, and Wen Meng knew it.
Xiao Bai stared at her blankly.
It doesn't hurt at all, and it even feels a bit good.
It's Little Black's turn.
It doesn't have claws either..
But punishment cannot be avoided,
Wen Meng was embarrassed.
He simply poked it with his index finger.
It just happened to poke Little Black's waist
Little Black found this feeling somewhat peculiar.
Just like the last time he held Wen Meng, his heart felt ticklish
It stared blankly at Wen Meng, who said seriously, "You need to be united and loving, understand?"
I know..
It's like seeing a ghost.
Little Black and Little White: Who knew that arguing could have such a good outcome?
"How about we become human?"
The Thunderbird straightened the aircraft again and pointed to the two seats in the rear cockpit.
Just right for Little Black and Little White to sit
Of course, it was sitting next to Wen Meng
As for the little bear king, let's reluctantly let it sit on my lap.
The thunderbird had not yet transformed in front of Wen Meng, not because he didn't want to transform, of course
Since the incident where Little Black and Little White turned into humans and fought,
Wen Meng forbade them from changing into humans at will.
The thunderbird never had a chance.
After hearing the thunderbird's words, before Little Black and Little White could respond, the Little Bear King shook his head like a rattle drum
Holding Wen Meng tightly and refusing to let go, it didn't want this bad bird to hug it!
The disaster beast turning into a human could indeed fit perfectly into the aircraft
But what if they run out of energy and revert to their original form halfway through?
The aircraft could absolutely not bear the weight of three adult disaster beasts.
Wen Meng had already thought of a solution.
She took out three blank space cards.
This was a gift from the system after the disaster beasts reached adulthood, equivalent to a small portable space that could absorb the disaster beasts.
The area is about the size of a room, and it can also accommodate some items, allowing the disaster beast to live inside.
However, in the short term, it doesn't matter. If the disaster beasts stay inside for a long time, their mood will turn red, causing them to become violently enraged.
Destroying this space and forcing our way out is not entirely impossible.
Therefore, it is necessary to occasionally release the disaster beasts and let them stay with the beast tamers; this is beneficial for their physical and mental well-being.
Seeing this thing, the expressions of the three disaster beasts all changed.
They don't want to go in!
"Then I'll go by myself?" Wen Meng pretended to put the cards away.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, three beams of light darted into the card.
Afraid that Wen Meng would leave them behind and go on her own.
That's better.
Wen Meng nodded with satisfaction.
The card loaded with the disaster beast was no longer a blank interface.
It turned into the three of their portraits.
Although they did not appear as ferocious as the beasts on the system interface, they were not benevolent either.
The card was an electronic screen with several switching options.
Wen Meng chose a forest for Xiao Bai. It looked expansive, but after running a few steps, one would hit the boundary of the space.
Xiaobai's activity area was still just that small. It came to the riverbank and stirred the surface of the water with its paw
Then, he lowered his head and began to drink the water.
Little Black's room was a deep, dark underground cave, and if you got close enough, you could faintly hear the cries of vampire bats.
The food was all prepared for him. Little Black really liked it here, coiled up on a big rock, and began to sleep.
The thunderbird circled once in the sky, which was as blue as a freshly washed cloth, but the circle was too small
Flying like this, my head is going to spin, and my activity level has greatly decreased!
Fortunately, beside the bird's nest on the cliff, there were a few large rocks that it could use to exercise its body.
The little bear king sat in the passenger seat, and Wen Meng thoughtfully helped it fasten the seatbelt.
Then he focused on studying how to pilot the aircraft.
The original plan was to find another desolate planet to live on.
After pressing the start button, the aircraft actually started on its own.
Completely without the need for manual control?
[The course is set, departing now.]
Where are we heading?
Wen Meng glanced at the destination displayed above.
A mix of emotions welled up in my heart.
She was one of the few stars she remembered.
She came from there.
The aircraft carried Wen Meng through the colorful nebula of the star realm
The Milky Way flowed with grandeur, dazzling and magnificent,
This was Wen Meng's first interstellar journey
She was awestruck by the beauty before her, feeling as if time flew by like lightning.
Before long, the aircraft automatically landed and docked.
This is the spaceport of the Imperial Star.
Due to the fuel tank running low, the aircraft chose a suitable location to land.
Originally, we could have driven straight inside.
Wen Meng could only go down early and walk over by herself.
To enter the Emperor Star from other stars, one must go through security checks before being allowed to pass.
Because the population density on the planet was extremely high, and it was home to many dignitaries and nobles,
Therefore, the security check was naturally much stricter than on some smaller planets.
Wen Meng mingled with the crowd, heading towards the security checkpoint.
The aircraft landed at an airport with a total of 10 security checkpoints, but only 8 were open today.
Each line had about the same number of people, so Wen Meng chose the one at the very end and queued up.
In front of her stood a middle-aged man
He was carrying a huge backpack and wearing a pair of slippers, looking like a tourist.
There are three security inspectors at this checkpoint: two to check people and one to inspect personal belongings based on the scanning machine.
The security check process was quite similar to the one in his original world
However, the instruments used here were ones Wen Meng had never seen before.
She looked on curiously.
The previous few items were no problem for the uncle, and it was almost Wen Meng's turn
Wen Meng was a bit nervous.
The middle-aged man was just about to leave, but as he passed through the final security checkpoint, the red light on the door suddenly lit up.
Beep beep beep——
The red light emitted a warning sound.
In the entire security check hall, it appeared extremely out of place.
The man saw things were going wrong and took off running.
Those two security officers did not expect that he would actually be a problem.
Chasing right behind.
"Quick, catch him!!"
The security inspector took out the walkie-talkie and called for the security personnel to come over.
Every day, thousands of people are inspected, and they never expected that this top-level federal fugitive could swagger in so boldly.
That's just too arrogant!
The airport system checked several times before issuing the alarm.
After all, the last false alarm caused significant economic losses and reputational damage to the airport.
Big data identification mistook a noble lord for a lecherous thief who molested women.
The noble lord almost died of anger on the spot.
The security inspector apologized and knelt, with tears and snot streaming down, just to keep his job
Although it was an issue with the airport system, he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In the end, the noble lord did not make things difficult for the security officer; he simply filed a lawsuit against the airport
The airport had to pay a large sum of money in compensation.
He rarely ever took public transportation; if he traveled via private flight routes, he wouldn't need to pass through this airport at all.
Nor would he give them the chance to humiliate him!
Since then, the airport system has been upgraded, and suspected criminals must be repeatedly verified and confirmed.
This is precisely why, even though this top-level fugitive was suspected multiple times and tagged with numerous labels upon entering the country, it wasn't until the moment he was about to leave that the system sounded the alarm.
This wanted man looked fat, but he was agile when he ran. Even though he was wearing slippers, he moved swiftly
Several times he was almost caught, but each time he twisted away and slipped through.
Leave everyone else behind.
Just when he thought he was safe.
A man in a police uniform suddenly appeared ahead,
"Move aside, don't block your father's way!!" the man shouted angrily.
The man remained motionless.
When the middle-aged man passed by him, he suddenly felt a lightness on his body.
He was actually lifted up directly by this man?
The man was horrified: "Are you looking to die?!"
Swipe—
A sharp knife gleamed, reflecting a blinding white light
The weapon was hidden in his pant leg, and the security officer didn't check that thoroughly.
This knife was aimed straight at the man's heart, and it was clear that the person wielding it intended to take his life.
The fugitive strikes ruthlessly, with a venomous heart and brute strength.
But this uncle clearly knew some combat techniques. If it were an ordinary person, at such close range and such speed, catching them off guard, they would surely be either dead or injured.
But, by sheer coincidence, this man was no ordinary person.
A rabble cannot be compared to officers who have graduated from a formal police academy.
He dodged the fatal blow with a swift move, then quickly disarmed the man, and as a bonus, left him with a set of broken bones.
In the blink of an eye, the dagger was already in his hand.
The middle-aged man fell to the ground.
The security personnel who arrived later immediately put handcuffs on him.
The uncle was taken away.
What a thrilling cop-and-robber drama.
This is too thrilling.
Wen Meng really didn't expect that as soon as she returned to Emperor Star, she would encounter such a thing.
That uncle, she began to glance at him a few times. With his honest and sincere appearance, who could tell that he was actually a vicious criminal?
You can't judge a book by its cover.
The commotion quickly subsided, and the two security guards returned to their posts
Is it finally my turn next?
Wen Meng took a step forward.
Unexpectedly, the police officer who had just apprehended someone also came over with the two security inspectors.
"Inspector Jiang, it's a good thing you're here!"
The two security inspectors were drenched in sweat, repeatedly expressing their gratitude; otherwise, they would have been doomed today!
But their praise did not bring Jiang Ling any comfort
He furrowed his handsome brows, "How do you guys even do your jobs? You couldn't find such a big weapon on him?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
The two security inspectors were terrified and could only apologize repeatedly; it was indeed a dereliction of their duty.
Wen Meng stood there at a loss.
She had been waiting for a long time.
Jiang Ling toyed with the sharp knife in his hand, his gaze falling on Wen Meng.
With a sweet and pure appearance, her eyes were large, like a clear spring of water
Wearing a white shirt, black suit, yellow plaid skirt, and carrying a backpack,
Except for the white shirt, which was newly made later, everything else was Wen Meng's previous attire.
Holding a big teddy bear in her arms.
High school girl?
Jiang Ling signaled the security staff to get to work, telling them to stop apologizing to him incessantly; he wasn't their boss.
I just happened to pass by and helped them catch someone along the way.
What you said is not wrong,
But since they had already caught the person, why didn't he leave?!
Two security inspectors, Alexander.
However, how dare they try to drive him away?
Although Jiangling does not manage the airport, the area where the airport is located falls under their jurisdiction.
If someone is apprehended here, they will be directly escorted to the police station in Jiangling.
The two security inspectors could only grit their teeth and, under his watchful eye, carry out the security check procedure on Wen Meng.
Jiangling really wanted to see how these people usually muddled through.
Ten minutes later,
Wen Meng looked utterly despondent.
Really, if conditions had allowed, they would have even wanted to cut open their own shoe soles to see if there were any blades hidden inside.
"No problem?"
"I don't think so."
The two security inspectors whispered to each other, exchanging glances.
So, he returned those three cards to Wen Meng and prepared to let her go.
Yes, Wen Meng's pockets had been thoroughly searched.
The little bear king's acting was superb; when the security guard looked over, he didn't even blink.
It was trying its best to play the role of a doll.
It worked.
Can I finally leave?
"Thank you for your cooperation. Be careful, the road is slippery," the security officer smiled at Wen Meng.
They felt a bit embarrassed for having taken up so much of her time.
Generally, they wouldn't say such a thing.
"Okay." Wen Meng nodded, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, and had just taken two steps when she turned around.
A pleasant male voice came from behind.
Wen Meng's entire body froze.
It's that person..
Jiang Ling rose from his seat, unhurriedly and calmly said,
"Wait a moment."
