"Unfortunately, the place where we stopped was the crocodile dragon's lair."
"Because there are many crocodile dragons that are three or four meters long, or even four or five meters long."
"But they didn't care about us at the time. They were in a group, chasing a young boy."
"That's the child you saw."
"What he was wearing was not clothes at all, but large fern leaves tied together with tree bark."
"But he's quite skilled. Although he's not a genetically evolved being, he doesn't seem to be afraid of radiation."
"Then Lieutenant Qiu jumped out and dragged him into the aircraft, and we took him away from that place."
"Those crocodile dragons can't fly. Once that young man gets into the flying machine, the crocodile dragons will be helpless."
Xia Chujian was curious: "...Then why was he being hunted by the crocodile dragon? Did he tell you?"
Ye Shijie shook his head regretfully: "No, he didn't say a word from beginning to end. Even though the wound hurt like hell, he didn't open his mouth."
Xia Chujian looked strange: "He can't speak, right?"
This is really useless.
Her son Awu could speak as soon as he was born!
That little voice is so cute that it makes people want to give their lives to it...
And this young man didn't say a word, it was so weird.
Ye Shijie smiled bitterly and said, "He probably just doesn't want to talk, because when we talk to him, he still understands."
Xia Chujian asked, "What was his reaction when he heard it?"
Ye Shijie said: "There is no special reaction."
"He was always very wary of us and always wanted to escape."
"When you came here yesterday, he found an opportunity to run away again, but you caught him back."
"After that, he became much more obedient and no longer wanted to run away."
"This afternoon, Lieutenant Qiu and I went out to explore the route. I deliberately left the hatch of the aircraft unlocked."
"But we were out for a few hours, and when we came back, we found he was still quietly inside the aircraft."
"It's the wound on my back. It seems to have worsened."
After saying this, Ye Shijie looked at Xia Chujian, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Xia Chujian knew what he meant and still wanted to treat the young man's injuries.
She thought for a moment and said, "We have medics here. They have medicine for trauma. I'll ask them to get some for you later."
Ye Shijie nodded: "I didn't know I would encounter such a thing before, so I didn't bring any medicine to treat external injuries."
"You know, the medicines used to treat ordinary people's injuries are completely ineffective against us genetically evolved people."
Xia Chujian waved his hand and said, "I don't know. I'm not a genetically evolved person."
She said so much to Ye Shijie, but Ye Shijie still kept Qiu Zijun's mission secret.
Xia Chujian no longer tried to tease anyone and said, "Captain Ye, go back first. I'll come to your place later and talk to you and Second Lieutenant Qiu about something."
Ye Shijie nodded, "It's time for me to go back too. It's only long enough for a cigarette."
Xia Chujian nodded and watched Ye Shijie return to the aircraft.
She waited outside for another ten minutes before going to the door of the aircraft and knocking.
Ye Shijie had just fallen into a doze when he was awakened by a knock on the door. He yawned and mumbled to Qiu Zijun, pointing to the radar screen and saying, "The person in charge of that airship is here."
Qiu Zijun rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Why aren't you sleeping so late..."
Although she complained, she still collected herself and opened the hatch.
Xia Chujian was still wearing a tightly wrapped mecha, a fully enclosed helmet, and eyepieces that covered half of his face.
She didn't go in either. Instead, she stood outside the aircraft and said directly to Qiu Zijun, "Second Lieutenant Qiu, our airship will leave here in fifteen minutes to carry out its mission."
Qiu Zijun's sleepiness immediately vanished, and she asked nervously, "Where are you going on this mission? Can you take us with you?"
Xia Chujian: “…”
She shook her head and refused directly: "No. Second Lieutenant Qiu is also a soldier. He should understand that military missions are not like treating people to a meal. You can come and go as you please."
Qiu Zijun bit her lip and continued, "I know it's against the rules. I'll explain the situation to my family when I get back."
"When the time comes, our Qiu family will definitely remember the Captain's favor."
"By the way, Captain, what's your name? Could you please give me your contact information?"
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, thinking that this girl's tone was not as arrogant as Quan Caiwei's...
By the way, which noble family does this girl belong to?
Xia Chujian asked curiously, "Whose family is Lieutenant Qiu from? What's the point of remembering my favor?"
It would be better to give her a precise amount of money...
Qiu Zijun's tone was a little reserved, and she smiled and said, "My father is an earl."
Xia Chujian thought about it, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."
Qiu Zijun: “…”
Why is this female captain so arrogant?
Doesn't she understand the aristocratic system?
Qiu Zijun said solemnly, "Captain, please be careful with your words."
"The Qiu family is not only an earl, but also one of the four great earls."
"The Beichen Empire has been established for over 10,000 years, and the number of nobles has remained constant."
"If the original nobles have not died out, or have been stripped of their titles, there will be no new nobles appointed."
"So once a title is granted, it is hereditary, unless it is stripped or the lineage is extinct."
