For a moment, Wang Zheng's thoughts drifted far away, and the two fell silent.
Because he needed to take care of the injured Ling Youjie, Chu Tianxing used his spiritual energy to protect his body, so the flight speed was not too fast.
As Chu Tianxing flew further and further away, Wang Zheng took out the locator he had picked up on the battlefield earlier. After carefully observing it for a long time, he felt a mix of emotions, but was still somewhat uncertain.
So he asked in a low voice, "Principal, are we going to Chongqing now or going directly to Yunnan?"
Chu Tianxing replied irritably, "Nonsense, of course we'll go to Yucheng. At least we'll settle Ling Youjie down first, and also take care of the remains of the other three. Then we'll have the troops in Yucheng find an opportunity to send them back."
Wang Zheng then asked, "So Chongqing is located due west of us, right?"
Chu Tianxing replied impatiently.
"Otherwise what? We are now in the rear of the Jingxiang battlefield, and Yucheng is just to the west."
Wang Zheng immediately raised the locator in his hand.
"Principal, I don't quite understand it. Could you take a closer look? I feel like if you keep flying, you'll be heading towards Guizhou?"
Chu Tianxing glanced down at the locator that Wang Zheng was holding high, and his face flushed red. He then slowed down and changed direction.
"How could I not know? It's because there's a demon king lurking deep in the mountains ahead. I didn't want to fight him head-on with you in tow, so I took a detour."
"Oh, I see."
Hearing Chu Tianxing's explanation, Wang Zheng felt relieved. After all, Chu Tianxing was a veteran who had fought on the battlefield for many years; how could he not know the way? He must have been overthinking it.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng decided to put away the locator he had found.
Seeing Wang Zheng lower his hand, Chu Tianxing suddenly spoke up.
"Hey... don't put it down, lift it higher."
Wang Zheng: ? ? ?
"I knew it! Looking ahead at this flat plain, with no famous mountains or rivers, where would this remote mountain area come from? I really thought Old Man Chu was very experienced; I never expected him to be such a terrible navigator!"
Wang Zheng suppressed his inner grumbling and held the locator he had picked up high in his hand, so that Chu Tianxing wouldn't really fly in the wrong direction. Otherwise, if he really ended up deep in the mountains, he would have nowhere to cry.
After constantly changing their bearings along the way, Wang Zheng and Chu Tianxing finally escaped from the dense forests of Jingxiang after more than two hours of trekking.
Standing above the clouds, Wang Zheng looked down at the city that was faintly visible, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and felt a surge of excitement.
He had never seen a real frontline city since he came into this world. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that a human-inhabited city could stand deep in such a dense forest?
Although we are still quite far away and the outline of the city is not very clear, it is vaguely visible that this is a modern metropolis.
The entire city is surrounded by mountains, and the not-too-high peaks around it also serve as a barrier against the invasion of alien beasts and the expansion of the forest.
On the low hills surrounding the city, most of the mountains have been leveled, most of the vegetation has been cleared, and sentry posts and garrisons stand on them.
Every now and then you can see soldiers with brisk steps patrolling and exploring.
Looking further in, nestled within the mountains, lies the place where nearly ten million people from Chongqing live.
Such a city, in such a geographical environment, can absolutely be called a miracle.
Looking at this scene from the air, Wang Zheng was somewhat shocked, because he was in southern Beijing, and the geographical features were not much different from those in his previous life.
So I never really felt anything about it, I just treated this place as two identical worlds.
But only now, seeing this mountain town that is completely different from what he remembered, did he realize that the world had long since changed.
Wang Zheng sighed inwardly; the difference between this world and his original world was simply too great.
I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. In the decades since the spiritual energy revival, this planet has undergone earth-shattering changes.
Having seen the city below, Chu Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief and landed directly on the outpost on the mountain.
Of course, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, they landed very slowly, so they were quickly spotted by the patrolling soldiers.
Before they could even land, they were already surrounded by the soldiers below.
However, since he was someone who could fly, the other party did not overstep their bounds and politely stepped forward to ask questions.
After the two men presented their identification, they were immediately and politely led to the reception area of the command post in Chongqing.
It was only then that Wang Zheng realized that the city's military region was actually located directly on this ring of mountains. He couldn't help but marvel at the grand scale of the project, truly befitting the people's army.
The two had just sat down when the soldier who had led the way left.
Wang Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Principal, with such tight security in Chongqing, what if we had just flown directly into the city? Wouldn't they have been helpless then?"
Chu Tianxing was speechless.
“There are spiritual energy sensing devices in the sky above the city. As long as you land at a certain altitude, you will be detected. The soldiers of the military region will be dispatched the moment you are detected. Moreover, front-line cities like Chongqing are not allowed to fly into the city without permission.”
"I see," Wang Zheng nodded thoughtfully.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that he still knew too little about the advanced technology of this world.
