Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

Chapter 282 I'll take you for a ride

"Huh, I feel like I'm going to be crushed..." U-chan squeezed out of the crowded crowd holding the expensive and fragile photographic equipment and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She had returned to the hotel where she was staying and felt a little hungry, so she bought a meat pancake on the roadside to fill her stomach.

As U-chan walked into the lobby while eating a meat bun, the hostess at the front desk greeted her warmly.

They were concerned and asked about how the filming of the opening ceremony was going and whether anything interesting happened on the scene.

"I was very lucky today. I even took a photo with Ms. Theresa..." U-chan held up the camera to show it with a bright smile on her face.

"Really? Can I take a look?" The proprietress instantly became interested, walked out from the front desk and came over.

"That's great! It's a pity that I have to look after the store, otherwise I would go with you..." The proprietress was envious of U-chan and Princess Theresa in the group photo.

"Hehe..." U-chan smiled, glanced at the time on the screen, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

"Sister Ai, I have to rush back to Longmen overnight, so I'll go back to my room to pack my things first..." U-chan walked up the creaking wooden stairs, taking two steps at a time.

"Hey, aren't you going to have a meal before you leave? I've added more dishes today, let's eat together." The proprietress raised her voice and asked towards the stairs.

"No, it's too late to find a driver to go back to Longmen." U-chan's weak voice came from upstairs.

There are not many things to bring back to Longmen, including a wallet, spare clothes, Yan Country ID, press card, camera, memory card, etc. Other things that are not needed can be left in the hotel room.

"Sister Ai, you don't need to help me clean my room. We can talk about it when I come back..." U-chan hurried out with a big backpack on her back, and did not forget to turn back and wave goodbye to the proprietress.

"Okay, have a safe trip." The proprietress responded with a smile. She quite liked this lively and cute child.

......

When U-chan arrived at the large lifting platform of the mobile city breathlessly, the convoy waiting to leave the city stretched for hundreds of meters. The staff were directing the vehicles forward and the lifting platform was operating at full capacity.

The roar of the hydraulic press and the sound of vehicle horns intertwined into a noisy mess, making people who had been waiting for a long time gradually irritated.

U started looking for a driver nearby who would pick up passengers and take them back to Longmen. It would be best if she could have the ride alone, but if not, it would be fine to just hitchhike with others.

Safety is the most important thing to consider, so a reliable driver and a good performing vehicle are especially important.

U-chan didn't have much money, so it wasn't easy for her to find a good driver. The driver who had brought her to Kazdel could no longer be contacted.

The decision to rush back to Longmen was just a spur of the moment. If she hadn't taken pictures of the aerospace battleship and Ms. Theresa, U-chan wouldn't have been so eager to return.

Seeing the sun in the sky getting closer and closer to the horizon, U, who had suffered setbacks and was exhausted both physically and mentally, squatted powerlessly on the curb, thinking that she would not be able to get back to Longmen in time.

If the captured footage is sold to newspapers too late, its value will depreciate rapidly.

"Sister Ai said she has added more dishes today. Can I still make it in time for dinner if I go back now?" U-chan smiled self-deprecatingly, propped up her knees and stood up, preparing to return to the hotel.

At this moment, a horn sound with obvious lack of strength sounded in my ears, followed by a steady male voice.

"Miss, could you please move aside?" A Sarkaz man with a scar on his face leaned his head out from the driver's seat and reminded politely.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm leaving now..." U turned around and found that what was parked behind her was a rugged off-road pickup truck, and there seemed to be traces of burning and impact on the thick bumper.

U-chan felt that the Sarkaz driver was not someone to be trifled with, so she lowered her head and quickened her pace to leave.

"Please wait, is this lady going out of town? If you don't mind, I can give you a ride..."

"Eh?"

......

In the conference room, Jingzhe, who had gained nothing, returned to the lounge of the Yan State delegation and found that Minister Ning and Wei Yanwu were already sitting on the sofa, talking about the achievements of this meeting.

"Jingzhe is back. Have you found any clues?" Hearing the door opening, Minister Ning turned around and looked at Jingzhe, whose hair was sticking up in some places.

"No, there are a lot of people on the street, a mixed crowd, and I can't tell if there are disguised beasts among them."

Jingzhe shook his head, indicating that he had returned empty-handed this time.

"Well, the Sui beasts are not ordinary people. If they are determined to hide their tracks, it will be difficult for ordinary people to track them."

"But why do they stay in Kazdel?"

Wei Yanwu stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

He wondered what was so attractive about this barren land that attracted the beast to stay.

"The Simuang Office is also discussing this matter internally, but has not yet come up with a reasonable explanation."

"Perhaps, as Lord Wei said, they are all different from ordinary people and do not need any motivation to act."

Jingzhe followed up on the question raised by Wei Yanwu and said that the situation in which the Sui beast left Dayan and went to other countries had never happened in hundreds of years.

"So, Miss Jingzhe, what are your plans for the future? Minister Ning and I will be setting off to return to Longmen soon."

Wei Yanwu's work has been completed. He will stay for one more day at most and then return to Longmen to take charge.

"I plan to stay for another month or so. If I still don't gain anything, I will return to the capital to report. Lord Ning, please inform the Grand Commandant of my affairs."

Jingzhe bowed to Minister Ning and asked her to help take the letter back to the capital.

"I understand. You will stay in Kazdel alone and act with caution."

"I will pay attention, Lord Ning." Jingzhe nodded and answered seriously.

......

At the Landspeeder Port, after the meeting, Doctor Kal'tsit met Saria and Muirseth on their way back to Rhodes Island.

When Muirseth was chatting with the doctor, he mentioned that the Rhine Life Land Cruiser was invaded by a mysterious person last night.

"Hmm? Just now, the Rhodes Island Medical Department was also invaded and was subdued on the spot by the medical operators on duty. Could it be the same group of people..."

The doctor turned to look at Kal'tsit. She was the one who told him about the attack on the medical department.

"We'll only know after the interrogation. Warfarin should have left someone alive." Kal'tsit explained in a calm tone.

"Then let's go and take a look at the situation, Saria?" Muerseth noticed that Saria seemed a little absent-minded, and reached out and patted her shoulder.

"Ah? Well, sure..." Saria came back to her senses. She remembered that before going to bed last night, Hemer told her that he was going to Rhodes Island for a visit and study today.

I don't know if she was injured...
