The silent night sky was like a deep black velvet curtain, dotted with twinkling lights like distant lamps.
The moon was hidden behind the clouds, leaving only a faint outline.
A fighter jet, like a silver lightning bolt, pierced the silence of the night sky, leaving a long contrail on the dark backdrop.
The astronaut features a streamlined design, with its body covered in a layer of nanomaterials that shimmer with a silver luster, enabling it to remain stable under various forms of radiation and extreme temperatures.
The fuselage is equipped with foldable wings on both sides, which can automatically adjust the angle during high-speed flight to achieve the best aerodynamic effect.
The fighter jet is equipped with a range of high-tech weapon systems, including energy cannons, particle beam emitters, and micro-missiles, and also carries stealth devices to conceal its shape and evade tracking.
This fighter jet was a gift from Chu Liyue to Xiao Wujie. It stemmed from the fact that when Xiao Wujie was a child, he unintentionally repeated to Chu Liyue while eating jelly, "When I grow up, I want to be an astronaut."
Later, when she had the means, she gave him the "astronaut" fighter jet as a gift.
Leng Ruxue served as the chief designer, leading a research team composed of top experts from various fields, and it took more than a year to complete the project.
Later, Xiao Wujie handed it over to Beishan, who improved many algorithms of the fighter jet system.
Currently, it is fully possible to achieve amphibious, intelligent, and unmanned driving capabilities.
The cabin is spacious, with high-gloss wood trim panels and exquisite metal trim complementing each other. Instead of an overwhelming industrial feel, it exudes a noble and elegant atmosphere.
By the window, Xiao Wujie, dressed in a black overcoat, sat with his legs crossed, expressionless.
Sitting opposite them were the elegant and dignified Lin Qingyi and Lu Zhufeng, who were analyzing the situation.
"According to reports, the competition for reagent No. 3 is extremely fierce, with the initial competition alone lasting more than ten days."
"In the second round of competition, there were less than ten people left, and Miss Chu was one of them."
"After the second round of competition, only one person is still vying with Miss Chu for the ownership of Reagent No. 3. This person is one of the developers of Reagent No. 3 and also Miss Chu's fiercest competitor."
Xiao Wujie uttered a single word expressionlessly:
"who?"
"The intelligence says his name is Vito Rosso."
Lu Zhufeng said, enunciating each word clearly.
Xiao Wujie narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
This is a character outside of his own creation, and he knows nothing about this person.
Upon hearing this name, Lin Qingyi, who had maintained a calm expression, suddenly narrowed her beautiful eyes, and her fingers, hidden under the table, clenched tightly together.
"Sister Qingyi, do you know this person?"
Xiao Wujie immediately noticed her unusual behavior and spoke up.
"No."
"The name just feels familiar, but I don't know why."
Lin Qingyi lowered her eyes slightly and replied softly.
When I looked up again, the strange color in my eyes had disappeared, and the strange feeling just now seemed like an illusion.
Xiao Wujie pursed his lips slightly and said nothing more.
Lu Zhufeng withdrew his curious gaze and turned his attention back to Xiao Wujie, saying in a deep voice:
"According to intelligence, just a few days ago, God's upper echelons decided that the final ownership of reagent number three would belong to Miss Chu."
"It was Vito Rosso again who strongly opposed it, constantly obstructing and refusing to let go."
"Just yesterday, an explosion occurred in the core experimental area of the base, causing numerous deaths and injuries."
"Yunmo and Beishan were not affected by the explosion because they were in the outer area. Beishan took advantage of the chaos to hack into the entire base's system and figured out the location of reagent number three. The two of them worked together to steal reagent number three."
"The explosion was extremely powerful, and the cause is currently unknown. Although there were countless deaths and injuries, many people survived and escaped from the base, including Yunmo and Beishan."
He paused slightly, then added:
"This is all the intelligence we have at the moment!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, and the cabin fell silent for a moment.
Xiao Wujie's gaze shifted slightly, his fingers rubbing together as he drifted into thought.
Lin Qingyi lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long silence, Lu Zhufeng broke it, looking at Xiao Wujie with a grave expression and saying in a deep voice:
"We'll be entering the far north in about five or six hours. What are your plans?"
Although they had a clear purpose and prepared sufficient supplies, finding a single person in the vast far north under unknown conditions was no easy task.
"Find a way to contact Yunmo and Beishan, and find them first!"
After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Wujie clenched his fingers and slowly spoke.
His face was cold and sullen, and his voice was low and hoarse.
He didn't believe anything could have happened to her!
She promised herself she would come back, but she was held back by some trouble!
Given her obsession with retrieving Reagent No. 3 to save him, he believed that even if Reagent No. 3 went to the ends of the earth, she would chase after it!
Lu Zhufeng nodded slightly upon hearing this, understanding what he was thinking, and then got up and left to arrange the relevant matters.
Xiao Wujie glanced at Lin Qingyi, who had been silent all along, and then got up and walked towards the rest cabin.
Under the lamplight, only Lin Qingyi remained, her slightly thin body trembling slightly, her knuckles clenched until they turned white...
Inside the rest cabin, Xiao Wujie leaned against the headboard and coughed lightly a few times, covering his mouth.
He was already ill and had been working hard for so long, so he felt very tired. However, he was unable to fall asleep because of the environment and his heavy thoughts.
He could only cast his weary gaze out the window to slightly relieve the oppressive fatigue in his body.
