It was ten in the morning when they arrived at the airport. If it had been before the Cataclysm, it would have taken more than an hour to fly from Chang 'an to Yuzhou. But after the Cataclysm, the distance between the two places was closer to each other. It would take a full three hours to reach Yuzhou.
"Sir, familiars are not allowed to be brought into the airport," the security guard said politely as he stopped a man who wanted to bring his familiar forward.
"Hey, then why can that person bring his familiar in?" The man wasn't convinced. He pointed in the direction of another passageway in the distance. There, an old man and a young man brought a few familiars into the spacious hall.
"That's the departure zone for private jets. As for whether or not you can bring your familiars on board, the current Alliance law doesn't have any mandatory requirements for what can be carried on a private jet," the security guard said tactfully.
What he meant was that a private jet was someone else's private property. They could do whatever they wanted with it. After all, the jet was theirs, and so was their life. It had nothing to do with anyone else.
Therefore, the flight path of a private jet was different from the flight path of a public jet.
The man's expression changed. Then, he lowered his head resentfully.
.....
"I've already told your grandfather. He'll send someone to bring the female spider to Yuzhou," Liu Shaotang said to Gao Peng. "That female spider is too big. We need a special plane to transport it … I'll leave the Blood Eye Bearded Vulture behind and let it follow the plane in case of any accidents."
Gao Peng nodded to express his understanding.
Half an hour later, the group boarded the plane.
The plane gradually took off, getting further and further away from the ground.
In the trunk, all the familiars were wrapped in chains to prevent them from encountering any danger.
Of course, it wasn't that they were afraid of encountering danger, but that they were afraid that they would cut a hole in the cabin …
Through the glass window, they could see that the scenery outside was getting more and more monotonous. The white sea of clouds blocked their vision. Then, the plane broke through the clouds and continued flying upwards.
Gao Peng adjusted his seat to a comfortable angle, then put on his eye mask and closed his eyes to rest.
Three hours later, the plane was ready to land.
The flight attendant walked to Gao Peng's side and gently reminded Gao Peng that they were about to arrive at Yuzhou.
Have we arrived?
Gao Peng took off his eye mask and opened the visor.
Outside the window, one could vaguely see mountain peaks that touched the cumulus clouds, towering over the earth.
As far as the eye could see, there were layers upon layers of mountains under his feet, and the wide and continuous Yangtze River was like a giant dragon galloping through the mountains.
Between the mountains, there was a huge city that stretched from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. It was cut in half by the Yangtze River. There were ten long bridges across the river, connecting the two sides of the Yangtze River.
There was a row of high embankments beside the river, and steel railings snaked across the river to protect both sides of the city. From time to time, armored vehicles would drive along the river.
After crossing the Yangtze River, the plane continued to glide forward. The city under its feet was already very close.
The modern city made of reinforced concrete was filled with a sense of technology. The glass walls refracted light, passing through the city and all the way to the south. Then the plane made a turn in the sky and slowly landed on the tarmac.
A spacious airport appeared in front of him, and the ground lit up with indicator lights. The plane dived down, and a faint sense of weightlessness rose.
Finally, it landed smoothly.
After getting off the plane, Uncle Liu picked up the phone and said a few words to the person on the other side. Then, he quickly turned off the phone and turned to Gao Peng. "Old Ji has something to do, so he can't come to pick us up. But he's already made arrangements for the company, so we can go there directly."
"Okay, Uncle Liu." Gao Peng had no objections.
In the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Yuzhou City. After the Cataclysm, the rivers all over the world had become longer and wider. Just like the Earth Star was constantly "growing," the mountains and rivers on it were also "growing." This was a very mysterious phenomenon.
The river was raging, and the waves were turbulent.
A sharp spine broke through the water like a sword, creating a large splash.
Through the green water, a blurry black shadow could be vaguely seen hovering at the bottom of the river. It seemed to be spinning back and forth on the surface of the river, but in reality, according to the final results of the military's calculations, its final destination was Yuzhou City downstream of the Yangtze River.
"This little guy is quite naughty." In the Yuzhou military district, a bearded general wearing a dark green military uniform and a black one-eyed eye looked at the image captured by the drone in front of him and grinned.
According to the dynamic image captured by the satellite, the monster at the bottom of the river seemed to be spinning back and forth, and sometimes even sneaking upstream. But if its entire route was calculated as a dynamic image, it could be accurately calculated that its final destination was Yuzhou City downstream of the Yangtze River. This seemingly aimless wandering around was just to lower the human's vigilance.
Unfortunately, this scene could not be hidden under the double image of the satellite and drone overhead, so it looked rather comical.
It was like a thief trying to sneak into a castle, and then constantly acting, pretending that it was just passing by. In reality, its every move was clearly captured by the cameras hanging on the walls of the castle.
A group of security guards sat in front of the monitor and quietly watched the stupid thief act, chatting with each other, and eating melon seeds.
At the bottom of the river, the turbulent splashes produced a large number of turbulent undercurrents. The bubbles washed over the huge black figure and were shattered. The black and gray scales at the bottom of the river emitted a misty luster.
A five-meter-long blue water snake was caught in the turbulent undercurrent. The undercurrent whirlpool was so fast that the water snake could not react in time and was caught in it, falling to the ground and feeling dizzy.
When the water snake finally regained its senses, it opened its eyes. Suddenly, a misty pale yellow light lit up at the bottom of the river, and then a red carpet quietly appeared under its body.
The water snake lowered its head and looked at the red carpet in confusion. It looked so familiar.
Then, in the next moment, the water current surged, and the red carpet suddenly flipped over. The water snake lost consciousness.
.....
"So, this is the little monster that interrupted my reunion with my grandson," Ji Hanwu stood on the bow deck and calmly looked at the "island" that was gradually approaching in front of him.
At the top of the "island", there was a sharp horn that was as white as a spear facing the sky. Its dark gray carapace was covered with dense black spikes, and it looked like a single entity.
Just the part exposed above the water was dozens of square meters, and there was an even larger part hidden at the bottom of the river. As if it had discovered the ship, the "island" was approaching faster and faster.
Looking at the approaching monster, Ji Hanwu's expression did not change.
