The airship kept circling in the sky, and it was almost dark, but it still wouldn't leave.

It can't stay in the sky forever, can it?

Yang Zheng frowned slightly as he stared at the airship in the sky.

This strange black airship usually flies at an altitude of two or three hundred meters, and with the range of the rifles he had previously captured, it was entirely possible to hit it.

The prerequisite is that he must have the accuracy and be proficient in marksmanship.

"Forget it, let's go back first and talk about it later!"

He took out the Tai Chi Pearl and opened the portal between the two worlds.

Yang Zheng then led the black dog inside.

Opening their eyes, the man and the dog were back inside the rented room.

I checked the time; it was only 6:30 in the evening.

I just got a mini short sword and a black shard on the cliff. I need to take them out in advance, find a place to put them, and wait for them to grow bigger.

Also, all the freshly picked exotic fruits should be brought out.

Yang Zheng took out the exotic fruit and counted them. He had picked a total of thirty-one fruits and brought them out this time.

There were originally thirty-seven exotic fruits, but six were given to the white tiger.

Looking at the blood-red fruits, each the size of a peanut, he was in a good mood.

"These are all rare treasures from the small world! Each one can transform an ordinary person, instantly heal injuries, and replenish energy. They are truly priceless and must be preserved!"

You can't pick too many exotic fruits.

The main thing is that this thing is quite big.

Although they look only the size of peanuts now, once they grow bigger, they will all be the size of apples.

If you pick too many, you won't have anywhere to put them, and they'll easily be seen by others.

"Once these exotic fruits grow bigger, I'll remove all their pits to save space."

After the black dog returned, it didn't go to its kennel to lie down, but instead squatted at Yang Zheng's feet, looking at him expectantly.

Yang Zheng glanced down at it and instantly understood what was going on. "Go wait in the yard first, and I'll get you a chicken leg later."

Upon hearing this, the black dog immediately ran outside.

Yang Zheng opened the refrigerator, took out two braised chicken legs that he had bought earlier, and threw them directly to the black dog.

Upon seeing the chicken leg, the black dog became very excited, grabbed it, and ran to its den to enjoy it.

At the top of the cliff in the small world, Yang Zheng had been busy all afternoon without even having a sip of water, and he was extremely thirsty.

He poured himself a glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

When he put down the water glass, he saw a small oil can piled up under the table.

He bought this this morning when he went to the hardware store to buy tools for smelting silver coins.

It wasn't anything important, just a small can of engine oil, the kind used in factories for machine maintenance.

He bought them to apply to the six miniature cannons to prevent them from rusting.

Seeing the can of engine oil in front of him, he suddenly remembered that there was something very important he hadn't done today.

"The protective membrane I threw into the small world yesterday has shrunk. I need to quickly wrap up the six cannons hidden on the left side of the hillside..."

With that in mind, he opened the portal again and went inside as quickly as possible.

Standing atop the hillside in this small world.

Looking down, I saw several rolls of protective film, now ten centimeters in size, on the ground next to the portal.

Just as Yang Zheng was about to pick up the protective film to wrap the six cannons,

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he abruptly looked up at the sky in front of him.

Sure enough, the black airship that had been circling overhead had gradually flown away.

Yang Zheng took out his binoculars and observed carefully.

The airship was spotted flying towards the right front of the hillside, which is the northwest direction of the small world.

As it grew farther away, it gradually turned into a tiny black dot and disappeared into the darkening sky.

Seeing this, Yang Zheng's eyes flickered, and he fell into thought.

"The purpose of this airship is very clear: it is monitoring us."

"As soon as it appears in the small world, it will quickly fly over this area."

"Then as soon as I leave the small world and return to Earth, the airship will immediately follow and return as well."

"What does it mean that this strange airship always appears at the exact same time?"

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

There must be a temporary airship base hidden around this area.

And the distance certainly won't be too far.

Otherwise, the airship wouldn't arrive so quickly and promptly every time I enter the small world.

Yang Zheng pondered for a moment and vaguely guessed the answer.

The route the airship took on its return journey seems to be in the northwest direction.

Based on this, it can be inferred that their temporary base must also be hidden in that area.

And the distance certainly won't be too far.

It's probably at most a few dozen kilometers, maybe not even that far.

Converted to the distance of a small world, that's several hundred kilometers.

Hundreds of kilometers?

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Zheng felt it was unlikely to be that far away.

At most, it's only a hundred kilometers in the eyes of a petty person.

After all, airships aren't airplanes; their flight speeds aren't that fast. Their maximum speed is probably around 100 kilometers per hour. And that's based on the speed of travel within the small world.

If converted to Earth's airspeed, the estimated speed would be around ten kilometers per hour.

If it's too far from here, those little people won't be able to quickly pilot their airships to get here.

Thinking of this, a bold plan suddenly came to him: to raid the airship's temporary base!

As long as we search along the northwest direction from which the airship returned, we will surely find their temporary base.

A place that can dock an airship must be large.

Moreover, the environment must be very open and flat.

Because the black airship itself was four or five meters long, this target was already very conspicuous in the giant's eyes.

Of course, raiding the airship's temporary base couldn't be done during the day; it could only be done stealthily at night.

You have to understand, it was broad daylight, and I had just entered the small world when I was quickly exposed to the airship's surveillance.

In broad daylight, let alone ambush their temporary base, every move the giant made was observed by those cunning villains.

At that time, I hadn't found their temporary base yet, and I guessed that those scoundrels had already escaped in an airship.

Therefore, for the raid to succeed, it must be carried out at night.

If you successfully destroy the airship's temporary base and eliminate those despicable villains, you might even be able to find a lot of good stuff inside their temporary base.

Gold, silver, valuables, weapons, martial arts manuals, and so on...

Thinking about this, Yang Zheng was filled with anticipation and excitement.

"But when I enter the small world at night, it's pitch black everywhere. I can't even see anything. How am I supposed to find my way? How am I supposed to search for my target?"

"Hmm, I'll use my phone to search when I get back and see if I can buy night vision goggles, thermal imaging displays, and things like that. Oh, and I'll also need to buy a compass..."

Within the small world, the sky had already begun to darken.

Yang Zheng knew he couldn't dawdle any longer; he had to wrap up the six mini cannons and hurry back.

Soon, he took the shrunken protective film and a small bucket of engine oil and came to the left side of the hillside.

With a swift movement of both hands, he pulled out all six miniature cannons hidden in the small hole.

Because he hadn't been wearing gloves when he came in, his entire arm was covered in damp mud.

"Huh, why is the color of this soil different from the surface? And what's that smell? It's so awful!"

Yang Zheng looked down at the mud stuck to his hands and found that it was a dark color with a faint reddish tinge, completely different from the yellow soil on the surface of the hillside.

I brought my arm to my nose and sniffed it, and smelled a very pungent, strange odor.

It was obvious that the strange smell was coming entirely from the red soil.

When you smell it into your nasal cavity, it's a bit irritating, and it smells somewhat like sulfur, but more like gunpowder powder.

Anyway, it's very strange and unique.

In the next step, Yang Zheng took a brush and used machine oil to brush all six mini cannons, covering their barrels and carriages with thick machine oil.

After carefully applying the engine oil, a protective film was used to wrap the cannons layer by layer.

A moment later.

The six mini cannons were completely wrapped in protective film, airtight, and all of them were coated with machine oil.

In that case, they should be able to be stored for a long time.

"All done, time to go home and eat!"

Yang Zheng carefully tucked the cannon back into the earthen cave, then picked up the engine oil and protective film and returned to the real world.
