The sky in July is getting hotter.
The sun outside the window is hot, and the unknown insects are screaming hoarsely, making people drowsy in the afternoon.
At the gate of Wu Ming's community, several teenagers gathered together, but they seemed very excited.
"Hi, Philip, is this your girlfriend?"
Alice had obviously been dressed up, highlighting her feminine features. Her thighs in stockings made passers-by's eyes straighten. When she saw Philip coming out first, she immediately greeted her.
"No! Let me introduce you. This is Lenny, my...my good friend!"
Philip hurriedly explained, but was immediately met with a blank stare from the tall children around him.
"I'm Alice, hello!"
"I heard Philip talk about you, congratulations on your graduation!"
Lenny replied with a smile.
"Oh! Philip, you brought a girlfriend here!"
The exaggerated voice immediately made Philip roll his eyes: "Lanny, this is Vidy, he has some problems with his head, don't worry about him!"
"Hey, you kid..."
Viddy made a wicked smile and didn't say a word.
"It seems that you all arrived first!"
At this time, Wu Ming also came out of the community, carrying a travel bag in his hand, followed by two people: "Is Philip the only one with a companion?"
"Who are you… "
With a few attentions, Alice saw the two people beside Wu Ming. The little girl was Angelina, they knew each other naturally, but there was another big boy who was obviously not Brandon, he was bigger than Brandon How old are they, and their faces give them a very familiar feeling.
"Don't you recognize me? I'm Neville!"
Neville said in a thick voice, "Your elementary school classmates!"
"Oh! That's right, Neville, it's you!"
Viddy laughed a few times to cover up his previous embarrassment: "What are you doing now?"
"Do a little recycling business, and Steven just said that he has a trip, so he dragged me along!"
Getting involved in society early on gave Neville an adult air. Just looking at these former classmates and knowing that their future is far beyond his own, I still can't help but feel a little jealous and inferior in my heart.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go!"
Wu Ming clapped his hands, and Dave and another driver he found immediately stepped forward to help everyone carry the ceremony: "We will take the airship, cross most of the Golden Oak Kingdom, and then sail to the Red Coral Sea!"
He smiled and announced the arrangement of the trip, which drew cheers.
Only Angelina snorted coldly, as if she was not very happy, but Wu Ming would not pay attention to such a child's tantrum-like behavior.
It was Angelina's future that caused him some headaches. After all, this little girl had already developed a tendency to become a little sister. Wu Ming didn't want to cause trouble for him in the future, so he pulled her in this time anyway. Ready to fulfill the next responsibility of being a brother.
"Since the end of the war, the Kingdom of Golden Oak has felt the loss of the armored airship. Now it has vigorously developed the airship industry. Even our city has opened up a new air route. I have long wanted to try it!"
Philip pushed his glasses, a flash of excitement flashed in his pupils, and so did Lenny next to him.
They are all from ordinary families, and the cost of taking an airship is relatively expensive. If there is no urgent matter, they would rather take a steam train. Anyway, it takes about the same time to go to most places, but it will be a little bit of a crime.
The airport is located in the southern outskirts of the city. It used to be an empty plain. On the side of the wide road, there was an acre of blue flowers. When the wind blew, pieces of blue petals were flying all over the sky. The air smelled good. It's refreshing.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the airport is here!"
Dave stepped on the brake, jumped out of the car quickly, and opened the door for Wu Ming.
"Wow! Cool!"
What appeared in front of the teenagers was an empty and flat building, and olive airships that looked like big ships were constantly rising and falling.
The feeling of being huge and safe is undoubtedly very reassuring.
Adhering to the concept of "big is good and bulky is beautiful" developed in the steampunk era, no matter what the Golden Oak Kingdom builds today, there is a tendency to move closer to this direction.
The Army's steam tanks are getting bigger and bigger, with more and more barrels and thicker, almost turning into a walking multi-turret fortress. The same is true for the Navy. The requirements for cannons are thicker and longer. , the thicker the armor, the better.
When it comes to civilian airships, it also has this aspect. Although Wu Ming looks a bit "stupid and thick", but its good operation and long service life make it impossible for any shortcomings to obliterate its achievements.
"Okay, Dave, just send us here, you go back!"
Wu Ming waved his hand, let Dave and another driver leave, and gave the hired guy a little tip, and a group of people walked into several halls.
The huge waiting room was almost full, and people got up from time to time, looking anxiously at the constantly changing numbers on the small blackboard hanging above the hall.
Angelina seemed a little uneasy, and moved a little closer to Wu Ming.
After all, she was only a child, and it was the first time she traveled far away, even if she just came to a strange place, she would inevitably feel a little panic in her heart.
"Don't worry, it's fine!"
Wu Ming accurately grasped her psychological activities and sent a warm smile.
What he wants is this kind of feeling, so that his sister can start to rely on and trust him, so that it will be convenient for her to adjust after... no! educate!
Hearing Wu Ming's comfort, for some reason, Angelina relaxed a lot, and dared to look at the other waiting guests.
"I've bought the airship ticket, now we should go to the second waiting room!"
Neville ran to the window to line up, and came back in a short while, and each of them stuffed a red delicate ticket: "The journey is five days, and we will land at Victoria Harbor!"
"Passengers, please pay attention. Passengers, please pay attention. Airship No. 2 has already started checking tickets. Please line up and get on the boat in an orderly manner!"
A sweet female voice sounded in the No. 2 waiting room.
Immediately, a bunch of guys who were sitting, lying down, and doing other things stood up one after another, took out their small tickets and rushed to the ticket gate.
"Wow, it's so big!"
After passing through the long corridor, Angelina immediately let out an exclamation.
Although I've seen the airship from afar, even Vidi and the others couldn't help being amazed when they actually came under it.
The opponent was as huge as a hill, and compared to the airship, they were as small as an ant.
"Dear passengers, Gefei Airlines is here to serve you!"
In the airship, a sweet female voice echoed from the horns in the aisle all the time: "Our company adopts the most advanced airship technology, divided airbags, and composite steel deck... everything puts the safety of passengers first, Create a comfortable, safe and hygienic travel environment for you, and provide three-star restaurant services... Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey!"
"Our rooms are all adjacent to each other, just knock on the wall if there is anything to do!"
Wu Ming handed out the keys and opened the door of a cabin at will.
The inside looks like a small private room, with a table, a bed, and even a separate dressing room, which is an unimaginable luxury for ordinary people.
As far as the airship is concerned, this is also a VIP-level luxury private room service. If it is replaced by an ordinary economy class, it will be like a coffin, and it is quite difficult to stretch your legs.
"Well, it's taking off!"
At this time, the airship shook slightly.
Wu Ming looked out from the round tempered glass window on the wall, and saw that the ground was getting farther and farther away, and those buildings began to become smaller.
"Take a good rest. The reputation of Gefei Aviation is also well-known in the Golden Oak Kingdom. The safety is the most guaranteed, and it is also the most comfortable!"
Wu Ming announced the disbandment of the crowd: "Wait until six o'clock in the evening, let's go have dinner together!"
"Hey buddy, want to play cards?"
Vidi couldn't bear it long ago, and took out a deck of tarot cards.
Although playing this kind of game, he teamed up with Philip, plus Alice, is not Wu Ming's opponent, but he just likes it like this.
"I'll take a look around first!"
Wu Ming smiled and refused: "Have fun!"
He was walking aimlessly in the aisle, and suddenly, he took out another key and opened a private room at hand.
Inside is an ordinary cabin, but there is a strange fragrance lingering at the tip of the nose.
"Have you come yet?"
Wu Ming glanced at the table, saw an envelope, immediately stuffed it into his hand, and then left without looking back.
The one who sneaked into the airship and left a message was naturally Meihu Diya.
After this woman was subdued by Wu Ming, she has been searching for the extraordinary information of this world for him. After these three years of exploration, she has also gained a little.
Otherwise, Wu Ming would not have set the goal of his graduation trip at the Red Coral Sea.
With the current strength of this woman, she is not comparable to ordinary A-level wanted criminals. It is said that her reputation in the dark mercenary circle in the world is getting louder and louder, even to the point where ordinary special search offices dare not provoke her.
"Have you made an appointment with the other party to meet at Victoria Harbor?"
Wu Ming blinked, and silently exited the door.
With Diya's hypnotism attainments and a little mental power skill, no one can find her on the airship. Of course, Wu Ming is not included.
"Have you left already? What a cunning little fox!"
Obviously, Diya's vigilance is very high. Knowing that this kind of airship transportation with very strict security checks, unless it has a serious identity, it may be exposed, and there is nowhere to run, so I chose to be more concealed and unmonitorable. ground transportation.
Wu Ming was quite satisfied with this woman's vigilance.
