Wang Zheng, who had been severely scolded by Chu Tianxing, was now driving obediently.
Because Wang Zheng had driven in front of Chu Tianxing once before in the military region, he didn't dare to say that he didn't have a driver's license.
He drove very slowly the whole way, praying that he wouldn't be stopped by the police, otherwise he would have to use his military officer ID to clear the way.
However, he seems to have had good luck.
It seemed that the traffic police officers heard Wang Zheng's prayers and did not stop him.
We arrived at the military region's airport without any problems.
Looking at the empty base, Wang Zheng couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflection).
In this day and age, airplanes have become something that is out of reach for the vast majority of ordinary people.
Even though all the machines are equipped with strong sonic interference and the Awakened Warriors are powerful, news of plane crashes is still common.
Although we are in an era of spiritual awakening, only a very small number of people can fly freely in the sky.
At an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, if an aircraft is damaged, ordinary people on board have virtually no chance of survival.
Therefore, if long-distance travel is required, most people will still choose high-speed rail.
After all, the railways have been almost entirely rebuilt, bypassing most of the mountainous areas. Although it takes longer, it is much safer.
Moreover, trains running on the ground always give people a sense of security and groundedness.
This is why Wang Zheng was so surprised that Chu Tianxing chose to fly to Yunnan.
As for the military region's airport, it is, as the name suggests, an airport specifically for the use of the Jingnan Military Region.
Inside the vast base, apart from the usual transport and escort aircraft, there were no other types of aircraft.
Research on spiritual energy-based thermal weapons has not yielded any breakthroughs, so fighter jets have become mere decorations. Even escort aircraft are only equipped with instruments to shield spiritual energy fluctuations and two types of weapons: sonic bombs and airburst bombs.
The former is a sonic attack, and the latter disrupts the magnetic field; their effects are, to put it mildly, unsatisfactory.
Wang Zheng's car drove all the way into the airport without being stopped, presumably because Chu Tianxing had given prior notice.
After they got out of the car, a middle-aged military officer immediately came to greet them. After Wang Zheng and Chu Tianxing showed their identification, the officer led them directly to a large transport plane.
The officer explained as he walked:
"I am the safety officer and captain of this transport plane. My name is Ling Youjie. Our mission is to escort a batch of supplies from the Jingnan Military Region to Baoshan City. Since this is a last-minute mission, and we have only transported supplies before, the cabin may not be very comfortable. So please don't mind, Lieutenant Wang and Principal Chu."
This was the first time Wang Zheng had ever seen a pilot in this world, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
Captain Ling Youjie had a square face, large ears, and sharp eyes. Although he was not tall, he appeared very composed, which made him very likable at first glance.
The other party said they received the mission at the last minute, so they must know Wang Zheng and Chu Tianxing's identities. Moreover, they became even more polite after seeing Chu Tianxing's Awakened One ID.
This gave Wang Zheng a better understanding of his school principal.
As for the temporary mission he mentioned, Wang Zheng had anticipated it. After all, he wasn't so arrogant as to think that the military region would send him a military plane to Yunnan.
It's just a ride-sharing, Wang Zheng can accept it.
Wang Zheng heard Ling Youjie's words and then glanced at Chu Tianxing.
Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to speak, she quickly stepped forward to exchange pleasantries: "Brother Ling, you're too kind. We're the ones who've bothered you. We hope it hasn't caused any trouble for your work."
Seeing that the young lieutenant was so easy to talk to, Ling Youjie's interest was piqued.
I originally thought he was the son of some bigwig in the military region, and that he would be escorted by someone like Principal Chu. I thought he would be arrogant and might even throw a tantrum because the cramped cabin was not comfortable enough.
Seeing Wang Zheng's approachable demeanor, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led the two onto the plane.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, enjoying their conversation immensely.
Chu Tianxing followed behind Wang Zheng without saying a word, occasionally glancing at him with a strange look, secretly thinking that this kid really knew how to deal with people.
In just a few minutes, he had already become sworn brothers with the captain and security officer.
"If he dares not stay at the university after graduation, I'll break his legs!"
Chu Tianxing silently made plans for Wang Zheng's future, falling far behind at the very end.
The supplies that needed to be delivered had already arrived, and besides these supplies, there were only Wang Zheng and Chu Tianxing on this escort mission. So once they boarded the plane, Ling Youjie went straight to the cockpit, and the transport plane took off quickly.
Because it was a plane specifically for transporting supplies, the seats inside were indeed not very comfortable; they were just a short row of seats along the edge of the cabin.
The entire cabin was only about two meters wide, even narrower than the transport planes he knew in his previous life. Moreover, a lot of supplies were piled up in the middle of the cabin, so the environment was indeed not very good.
However, Wang Zheng was not a delicate person, so he sat down directly, while Chu Tianxing sat down next to Wang Zheng without saying a word.
Behind a pile of tightly wrapped supplies were two men and one woman, along with three accompanying security personnel.
Wang Zheng guessed that there should be four safety officers on board a transport plane.
After a brief period of turbulence, the plane had smoothly taxied above the clouds.
Seeing that the people opposite had unfastened their safety buckles, Wang Zheng followed suit, unfastening his own, standing up, and walking to the window in front of him, looking out the window.
This was his first time flying since he transmigrated. Looking at the clear blue sky in the distance, with sunlight scattering on the clouds and shimmering with dazzling golden light, Wang Zheng's mood couldn't help but ease a bit.
