After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wu shook his head and smiled, saying, "I can go to the capital by myself. You take them and figure out a way to transport this giant octopus. Don't rely on yourself alone; make the most of the collective effort."
"Also, there are airships in the Third Rejuvenation City, which we can use. Anyway, with a few golden eagles protecting them, the airships should be relatively safe."
Jiang Wu gently stroked Su Ziyu's hair and said softly, "Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future. I'll take you around to see different places later."
Su Ziyu gave a sweet and gentle "Mmm".
At this moment, Jiang Wu noticed that Lillian had been secretly watching him, and he casually said, "If you want to eat, just take it and eat it yourself."
Lillian was simply curious as to why Jiang Wu was so powerful.
Compared to her casual attitude when she first met Jiang Wu, Lillian now regarded him as a superhuman human being.
Upon hearing Jiang Wu's words, Lillian couldn't help but swallow hard and turned her gaze to the grilled octopus meat.
She carefully picked up a piece of golden-brown octopus meat, feeling the residual warmth on the meat with her fingertips and smelling a rich, fresh aroma.
The aroma was completely different from any of the compressed biscuits or canned goods she had ever eaten before, instantly whetting her appetite.
Taking a deep breath, Lillian took a small bite and chewed it carefully. The tender yet chewy texture exploded in her mouth.
It has no fishy smell at all, but instead has a unique sweetness. After being roasted, the outer skin is slightly charred and fragrant, while the inside remains juicy. Every chew allows you to taste a deeper level of freshness.
In addition, I felt my whole body was excited.
It was as if every cell in my body was cheering because I had eaten the flesh of this giant sea monster!
Lillian was completely stunned.
She has lived for twelve years, from before the disaster until now, and has never eaten anything so delicious!
It's worth noting that as the daughter of the captain of this nearly 100,000-ton cargo ship, she has eaten countless seafood dishes.
But I've never tasted anything so uniquely delicious before!
She couldn't resist any longer and started eating heartily, stuffing her mouth full of meat.
Let's eat first and talk about it later!
Jiang Wu watched her wolf down her food and a smile crept onto his lips.
Half an hour later, the meal ended.
Jiang Wu picked up the remaining large piece of uncooked mutated octopus meat and prepared to go find Xiao Xia.
He knew that Xiao Xia had been staying in that room.
Although her shackles have been broken, she will most likely remain in the same place.
After all, she still misses her deceased boyfriend, and it will probably be difficult for her to get over her grief in a short time.
Moreover, her current situation is far worse than Ning Chuxia's was back then.
Ning Chuxia was stunned at the time, even when she and Xiaoyu were taking a bath in the pool... she stood by as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Xia is probably even more clueless.
Upon arriving at Xiao Xia's room, just as Jiang Wu had predicted, Xiao Xia was still sitting there blankly, clutching the silver pendant tightly in her hand, her empty eyes showing no change whatsoever.
The half-eaten seabird was still on the ground, the smell of blood still lingering in the air, a stark contrast to the fresh aroma of the octopus meat.
Jiang Wu walked up to her, placed the mutated octopus meat in his hand on the table next to her, and casually said, "There's a little girl named Lillian still alive in the cabin. She'll leave here with Xiaoyu. My people will be coming and going to transport the octopus carcasses. If you've thought it through and want to go to my territory to find Chen Shu, just tell them."
Upon hearing Jiang Wu's words, Xiao Xia slowly raised her head, a slight ripple appearing in her empty eyes.
She glanced at the octopus on the table, then at Jiang Wu, her lips moved, but she didn't say a word.
Jiang Wu didn't care; he knew Xiao Xia needed time to process everything.
He turned to leave, but as he reached the door, he looked back at Xiao Xia and said, "Don't stay here any longer. There are many things waiting for you to do outside. Since you have the ability, make use of it."
After saying that, he strode out of the room.
Upon reaching the deck, the large golden bird and another mutated golden eagle were still circling in the air.
Upon seeing Jiang Wu emerge, the golden bird let out a joyful cry before landing on the deck, where the resulting gust of wind sent the zombies and debris scattered about.
The golden bird didn't care at all; it simply nuzzled Jiang Wu's arm affectionately with its huge beak.
When a zombie approached, it was immediately blown away by its wings.
Finally, it fell into the ocean and disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Wu completely disregarded the ordinary zombies here and directly flipped over and leaped onto the bird's back.
Just then, Su Ziyu and Lillian also came onto the deck.
The moment she stepped out, Lillian froze.
Staring blankly at the enormous golden bird and Jiang Wu, who had just flipped onto it.
Jiang Wu said to Su Ziyu, "Xiaoyu, I'm leaving things here to you. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Su Ziyu smiled and nodded: "Brother Wu, don't worry, I'll take care of things here."
Jiang Wu smiled, glanced at Lillian who was terrified by the golden giant bird, and then gave Xiao Jin an order.
The golden giant bird spread its wings, which were thirty meters wide, and with a sudden flap, it created a powerful gust of air.
Then the giant bird carried Jiang Wu into the sky and quickly transformed into a small golden dot on the northern horizon.
At this moment, Lillian was completely stunned, her wide eyes fixed on the horizon.
Even though she could no longer see the giant bird, she remained in the same position.
His eyes were filled with shock.
