Chapter 123 Return to Blue Star

Time quickly came to the day of parting. Gu Xinyan took out the seasonings and a series of ingredients for home-cooked dishes for Lele. There were quite a lot of things, so she took them out in several batches.

After Lele finished packing all her things, she left reluctantly. After Lele left, Gu Xinyan said goodbye to Atlas and his group.

They were about to return to Earth, and Gu Xinyan smiled and waved to the crowd who had come to see them off outside the store.

"Everyone, hurry back! We're leaving now. See you next time!"

Upon hearing this, everyone called out to the group, their voices tinged with a hint of reluctance.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your help. We will miss you."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Yan, please don't forget about us."

"See you next time, esteemed envoys. I hope that day will come soon!"

"Okay! We'll remember you all. I'm sure we'll see each other again soon. Bye-bye!" Gu Xinyan said, then looked at Xiaobai beside her, signaling that it could go back.

Upon receiving the signal, Xiaobai nodded and then quickly began locating Blue Star.

[Ding! Emergency mission completed, initiating teleportation...]

[Host, you have returned to Earth. Little White needs to go back to level up, which will likely take some time. No missions will be issued during this period; missions will only be reissued after Little White returns!]

As Xiaobai's voice faded, Gu Xinyan and the other three returned to the familiar store, where Commander Zhang and his group, who had already received the news, were waiting outside the isolation room.

"Okay, you go ahead then, we can take a break too!" Gu Xinyan said, rubbing its fluffy little head.

[Well then, host, and everyone else, see you next time!]

After Xiaobai finished speaking, it vanished in a flash. Only after watching its disappearing figure did Commander Zhang speak.

"I was just calculating the time and figured you should all be here by now. It'll take some time for Xiaobai to level up, so you can all get some rest."

"Yes, that's right. It's a good time to go out and have some fun."

Gu Xinyan nodded in agreement. Ever since her grandmother's eyes recovered, she had been planning to take her grandmother and younger brother to Kyoto for a trip when she had some free time. She hadn't expected that this opportunity would come so soon.

According to Xiaobai, it will probably take at least half a month for it to level up this time, since it will be leveling up twice in a row, so it will take longer and won't be that fast.

When it returns, it won't immediately go on a mission; there should still be a few days of buffer time. However, half a month should be enough time. She wants to take her grandmother and younger brother to Kyoto for a trip.

The old man has never left Anyang City in his entire life. He never left when he was young, and now that he's old and his eyesight has deteriorated, he's never left again.

So she wanted to take her grandmother and younger brother to see their country's capital and watch the flag-raising ceremony. With that in mind, she shared her thoughts.

Commander Zhang nodded and replied with a smile, "Alright, I'll make all the arrangements for you. You won't have to squeeze onto the high-speed rail or planes. I'll arrange a helicopter for you, using an internal route, directly to Kyoto. Milair happens to be in Kyoto right now, so you can travel together and have company!"

After saying that, as if remembering something, he continued to ask:

"By the way, Gu girl, did you bring back a medical pod from interstellar space?"

Gu Xinyan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly realized what she meant and nodded in response:

"Yes, Commander Zhang, there is a medical pod, but we were in a hurry for the emergency mission, and the medical pod is quite large, so we didn't take it out."

"That's good, that's good. Some time ago, our country's soldiers went to pick up two researchers who were stranded abroad, but something unexpected happened. The people from the US wouldn't release them. Before we even went to pick them up, they took some unauthorized measures."

The couple from the Lan Research Institute are now paralyzed and bedridden due to that torture. The meridians in their hands and feet were severed by people from the US. We have treated them, but because so many of their meridians were severed, reattaching them carries a significant risk.

Furthermore, the people from Country M injected the two with a newly developed poison, causing the Lan Research Institute couple to be in a coma for most of the day. This poison is extremely insidious; it continuously attacks their bodies.

Miller learned of this a few days ago, saying that their medical pod could save two lives.

Upon hearing Gu Xinyan's words, a hint of joy flashed in Commander Zhang's eyes, and he slowly spoke.

Hearing this, Gu Xinyan's mouth dropped open slightly. She hadn't expected this to happen. She hated the United States, but she also felt helpless about it.

After all, falling behind means being vulnerable to attack, and there's no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for us.

Gu Xinyan was just an ordinary office worker who had no access to such inside information. Upon hearing this news, she felt indignant and clenched her hands involuntarily.

Hmph! Let them be arrogant for a while longer. Once the mechs and warships are ready to appear, they'll be scared to death.

"Yes, the medical pod is currently in my space. I wonder where Researcher Lan and the other person are now?" Gu Xinyan asked anxiously.

"Both of them are in Kyoto right now. We originally planned to transfer them here, but there are many people watching them from the shadows over there, and we can't expose ourselves here for the time being. So, when we send you to Kyoto in a few days, you can take them with you."

"Mirel said the medical pod can't fit the spatial ring; it's too big and would attract attention. So you should take it directly!" Commander Zhang said softly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan nodded, indicating that she understood. She hadn't expected that Milair was also in Kyoto at this time. It seemed that her first stop was their capital. But that was fine; she could bring her grandmother and younger brother to play with her.

"We originally planned to build a new underground warehouse, right below this transmigration room, connecting to several adjacent research institutes. Items brought back from other worlds might be stored in this warehouse."

When Little White levels up and returns, find its friend 009 and exchange it for a Gravity Energy Ball. After all, if the bottom is hollowed out, the foundation beneath the island might become unstable.

Moreover, the area below is all seawater. Originally, we wanted to build a smaller one so that we wouldn't have to worry about the risk of hollowing it out.

But the academicians approached Milair, who said she would build a giant research institute for us beneath the island, utilizing our existing resources. She said she would begin construction as soon as she returned from her trip.
