Chapter 174 Heading to the Airport
"Is everyone here?" Jiang Mi glanced at the conference room and asked casually.
Miao Xi raised an eyebrow, "I've been waiting for you."
Jiang Mi walked a few steps to his seat and his eyes fell on the only unfamiliar face present.
He was a middle-aged man in his forties. It was obvious that he had lived a good life in the past. He was wearing a famous watch worth more than three million yuan on his wrist, and he did not take it off even though the dial was already very worn.
As for why I didn't suspect that he picked it up from somewhere else, it's because in the end times, if someone still cares about these external things, they wouldn't wear a watch that is obviously damaged on their wrist all the time.
As if he saw her eyes on his wrist, the middle-aged man subconsciously touched the watch, then smiled bitterly and said, "This watch was given to me by my wife. It's a commemorative gift for our 20th wedding anniversary."
A flash of nostalgia and pain and sadness flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down, hid the watch in his sleeve, and introduced himself to Jiang Mi in a serious tone: "You must be Miss Jiang. Hello, I am Lian Qi. I was a captain of Eastern Airlines before the end of the world. I once served in the National Air Force and have been flying civilian airliners for seven years. I can fly both large and small planes."
It was impossible to check other people's resumes in the last days, but Jiang Mi could only temporarily judge from what he said that this person was not someone with bad intentions.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk.
"We want to take away more than 200 people at once. What kind of plane do we need?" Jiang Mi tapped the table unconsciously with his fingertips.
"A medium-sized passenger plane is enough." Lian Qi was very strict when it came to his professional field. "Generally, a medium-sized passenger plane can carry 200 people, not including luggage and flight attendants. Even if there are 300 people, it's fine as long as it doesn't exceed the scheduled load. Of course, the 200-person load is in accordance with safety regulations. If the number of people exceeding the limit is placed in the passenger area, it will be crowded and unsafe."
"Can people sit in the luggage compartment?" Jiang Mi asked after thinking for a while.
Lian Qi nodded. "Of course, but the biggest problem with the luggage compartment is that if something goes wrong during landing, the people inside will be hit the hardest."
"Do you believe in your skills?" Jiang Mi asked again.
Lian Qi is very confident, "If there is a good landing track, I can complete the landing perfectly."
"That's fine." Jiang Mi tilted his head to look at Miao Xi, "How are the preparations going these days?"
Miao Xi nodded, "Everyone else is ready, now it's just you."
There was something else in her words, and Jiang Mi understood it. "Okay, then you can make the arrangements. We'll leave for the airport soon."
After saying that, she stood up first, left the meeting room and walked towards the top floor.
She had to go and put away everything in the base.
The things on the top floor were packed up very quickly. Miao Xi had already had other things packed up. She only needed to stand in the middle of the pile of items and stretch out her hand and put them all into the space with a thought.
At this moment, more than two hundred people were standing in the kindergarten, neatly dressed, watching her making the supplies disappear like performing magic, which caused waves of whispers.
It took just over half an hour to collect everything. Jiang Mi glanced at the watch on his wrist and it was only a little after nine in the morning.
If all goes well, we can arrive in City D tonight.
"Let's go!" She raised her hand.
More than 200 people lined up to leave the kindergarten. There were three or four buses parked at the gate. In the front were four black off-road vehicles, and behind the last bus were two other off-road vehicles.
Jiang Mi was the first to get on the passenger seat of the first off-road vehicle. Miao Xi was driving, and Wen Yu and Li Wenxi were sitting in the back. As for Zhao Xiao, he could only squeeze into a car with Fang Bo and the others.
Miao Xi has never neglected to clean the surrounding roads, especially since Lulu also wants to exercise her supernatural powers. In order to prevent her from causing damage in other places, cleaning the roads has undoubtedly become a good way. Now the advantages of clean roads are reflected.
The airport is a bit far away, about 17 or 18 kilometers away from the departure point.
Miao Xi only cleared roads within a radius of ten kilometers at most. When the convoy drove within a ten-kilometer radius, they really saw other chaotic and congested roads.
The car could no longer be driven, so Fang Bo led everyone to get out of the car and walk.
Jiang Mi and Miao Xi walked in the front, while Zhou Ruisheng relied on his speed to rush to the front to investigate the situation and clear the way as soon as he got off the car. Ordinary people without special powers stood in the middle of the team, and there were groups of two people with special powers in front, behind, left and right, standing vigilant with guns.
The large group was not moving very fast. It would take at least three hours to walk seven kilometers.
By noon, the people who had been walking for two hours were asked to stop and rest, and they quickly ate the pies that had been distributed earlier as lunch to replenish their energy.
After resting for ten minutes, we continued on our journey.
It was not until around two in the afternoon that we finally arrived at the airport.
Along the way, there were not only attacks from mutants, but also some groups of survivors who were reckless.
Zhou Ruisheng, who was exploring the way ahead, came back. He had already entered the airport to investigate. He looked pale at the moment. The high intensity of consuming his superpowers had made him mentally exhausted. He walked in front of Jiang Mi with an ugly expression, "There are many mutants in the airport."
Jiang Mi had anticipated this. When she was in City D, she had been to the airport with her brother and knew what the situation was like there.
"Take some people over there and clear a safe way in." Miao Xi gave the order decisively.
"Let's take Zhao Xiao with us." Jiang Mi said after thinking for a while.
Zhao Xiao was behind her at the moment, as well as Wen Yu and Li Wenxi.
Li Wenxi directly expressed his willingness to participate in cleaning up the mutants. Zhao Xiao did not object to Jiang Mi's arrangement, and his expression remained indifferent. Miao Xi listened to Jiang Mi's words and nodded without saying much, "Then you stay here, and I'll ask Zhou Ruisheng to notify you when the cleaning is done."
Jiang Mi nodded.
Miao Xi called ten more psychics to join her. A total of fifteen people were divided into several groups and quickly headed towards the airport.
Jiang Mi sat on the hood of the SUV bored. Fang Bo staggered to her and licked his lips, "Do you have any more Coke?"
Jiang Mi glanced at him, raised her hand and threw him a bottle, still freshly taken out of the refrigerator.
"Sister Jiang is so generous." Fang Bo gave her a thumbs up.
He is now more cheerful than when I first met him, and seems to have regained his former youthfulness.
However, the experience of the past six months has indeed changed him a lot.
"That's not fair. You drink Coke by yourself without telling your buddies?" Old Zhang's voice came from behind, and with him was the fat man.
Fang Bo threw the Coke he had only taken two sips of back without even turning his head. The fat man caught the Coke and gulped it down before giving it to Lao Zhang next to him, "Relax!"
"Why are you two running to the front instead of guarding the back? Aren't you afraid of something happening?" Fang Bo moved his shoulders and a crackling sound was heard.
"There are people watching behind us. This is near the airport. There are not many mutant species. Even if there are, they are scattered. The other brothers can handle it." The fat man said nonchalantly.
