Country Z has a large population, and the largest number of people were left behind here. They quickly gathered enough people for a plane, and the takeoff time was set for one hour later.
Jiang Shuyin led Alvin to sit down, and opposite them was clearly a family.
The couple had their two children with them, and the parents kept telling their children, "Keep your voice down and don't disturb others' rest."
Jiang Shuyin didn't want to socialize, so she closed her eyes and hugged Alvin's arm to prevent him from getting lost.
Unlike her, Alvin was very curious about the children.
Are human children like fog when they are young, and then become children when they grow up?
Their eyes are so beautiful.
The little girl blushed and looked at him: "Brother, you're so handsome. Is she your girlfriend?"
Alvin nodded slightly, not wanting to disturb her as she was sleeping.
The little girl was a little disappointed.
She wanted this older brother to wait for her, so that she could become his bride when she grew up.
This woman is also very pretty, and they look quite well-matched, so she has no chance.
The girl's mother smiled and patted her daughter's head.
The noise level is very high when the plane takes off.
Noise-canceling headphones don't cost extra, so Jiang Shu let go of Alvin's hand and put on the headphones.
Turning around, I saw that he had already put it on, so I immediately closed my eyes, not giving anyone a chance to start a conversation.
As they passed the sea, Alvin was immediately captivated.
Looking at it from the side, it's like a person gazing up at the blue sky; the sea high in the sky looks just like the azure sky.
The flight was long, and everyone took a nap.
Jiang Shu woke up midway through the night and saw Alvin still looking out the window.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Doesn't your neck hurt?"
Alvin turned around, a bright smile on his face.
He moved his lips, but remembering that he was mute, he simply shook his head.
The aircraft were parked outside the central base, with a dedicated security team responsible for ground safety.
There are quite a few planes parked here, and the central base seems to be intentionally enclosing this area as well, having already organized workers to build a wall.
The family sitting opposite went to ask the security team what conditions were required for them to check in.
Jiang Shuyin also overheard it.
"Admission is free, but you need to provide proof of identity and undergo a serological test. You will be officially admitted after seven days of observation in the quarantine area."
The house needs to be rented, requiring at least 10 mission points per month. Those with superpowers can join the special task force, while ordinary people can join the search team. There are many jobs that earn mission points; it just depends on whether you're willing to put in the effort.
The family had no choice but to accept that while they were a vulnerable group abroad, returning to China would at least prevent them from being ostracized and would be relatively fairer.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyin turned and left.
I tried calling Xie Yin using the bracelet, but no one answered.
Jiang Shuyin: System, how long until ovulation?
[Approximately 2 days.]
It seems Xie Yin is truly not here.
She took out two sets of clean clothes from her spatial storage and led Alvin to the public bathroom, where she spent 1 mission point to get a private room.
The staff member gave them an ambiguous look, then pulled out a key and handed it to her.
Jiang Shuyin pursed her lips. These people just love to overthink things.
Jiang Shu dyed Alvin's hair, wrapped it in a heated cap, and then told him to go outside and wait.
She took out shampoo and shower gel from her storage compartment and cleaned her entire body.
It took about half an hour to change my clothes and go out.
He gestured with his chin toward Alvin and said, "Go in and wash up. First, rinse your hair, then wash it with the stuff in the bottle, and finally get dressed."
A mistake during hair dyeing ruined both of their clothes.
The stains on her hands are impossible to wash off; it's like she's been poisoned.
Alvin went inside and heard the sound of running water.
It took the two of them more than an hour to come out together to change the keys.
The staff member glanced at the time and smiled knowingly.
Jiang Shuyin was too lazy to explain, so she went out and threw the clothes she didn't want into the trash can.
I walked to the small square at the base, found a place to sit down, and rubbed my wet hair.
The central base is very humane; everyone who can contribute is working.
Their elderly relatives can take care of the family, and young children can continue to go to school.
Sunlight slanted across the small square, and elderly people would occasionally glance towards the gate, waiting with their children for them to return home safely.
But she's used up all her mission points and doesn't want to go home yet.
Please ask Minister Hu to convey to Ms. Zheng Lanxiang that her daughter has returned to the central base and has taken on two more missions. Everything is fine.
Minister Hu replied quickly: He has asked the community workers to pass on the message, Comrade Jiang, please rest assured.
Jiang Shuyin smiled; she was quite relieved.
After a while, the afterglow disappeared below the horizon, and the lights in the base lit up like dominoes, signaling that those who had gone out should be returning.
The elderly looked up more frequently and for longer periods of time.
He visibly became uneasy and restless, pacing back and forth.
There were well over a hundred families waiting in the small square.
They inquired among themselves, trying to find out if anyone knew anything about the mission.
Suddenly, the loudspeaker at the main gate blared: "Attention everyone! The search team is trapped. Special task force members from all cities within the base are urgently conscripted. Assemble at the airport and proceed to the rescue!"
The small square immediately erupted in chaos.
The old man slapped his thigh and burst into tears: "I told you, we have enough to eat at home, but you still insisted on going!"
"The child is so young, why would you entrust him to me, with only half a body, to be buried!"
Children are easily frightened; when they hear adults say this, they start crying too, their cries sharp and piercing.
Jiang Shu got up and led Alvin to the assembly point.
She was part of the special task force, and since she was receiving preferential treatment from the organization, she had to shoulder this responsibility.
Besides, she also wanted to know how much of a gap there was between her and others now.
With the wristband, Jiang Shuyin quickly completed the registration process.
I ran into trouble with Alvin.
The person in charge of registration asked him, "Do you have any special abilities? Have you ever killed a mutant?"
Jiang Shuyin gave her a wink.
Alvin nodded, gathering a stream of water in his hand.
This is an innate ability of merfolkâthe ability to control water.
The registration staff member curled their lip, saying that the weakest point was the water system, and that if they went along, they might need someone to take care of them.
Let him go, considering he's a man.
Hopefully, the woman next to me isn't from the water element, otherwise having two more people dragging me down would be a real hassle.
