Especially like now, it is less than a hundred meters away from the ground, which is basically equivalent to flying close to the ground.
Looking at the rapidly receding scene below, to be honest, it still feels a bit scary.
"Don't worry, this area is very open. We'll have to continue for at least half an hour before we reach relatively complex terrain," the man said. "Also, the shuttle is on autopilot and can detect obstacles several kilometers ahead. If it encounters a moderate obstacle, it will automatically circumvent it. If it encounters a complex obstacle, it will slow down and warn you, so don't worry."
"I see. But this thing is over a hundred years old. There shouldn't be any safety hazards, right?" Xu Ying leaned over the driver's seat and looked at the dashboard in front of her. "This is considered an antique among instruments. Besides, wasn't it because it was broken that you got it?"
"Don't worry, I'm the one driving it. I wouldn't dare operate it if there were any problems," the man said with a smile. "To be honest, although this thing was scrapped due to a malfunction a hundred years ago, it wasn't actually malfunctioning. We deliberately reported it as scrapped and then pocketed the money. We wouldn't dare operate a craft that's about to be scrapped."
“…Wow, this operation feels familiar.”
"Ha ha."
The aircraft continued to move forward.
"Brother, put me in the bracelet and I'll explain the current situation to them."
"Okay." Xu Xin nodded, then took Xu Ying in.
Then he released Coco again.
Coco seemed to be running, and as soon as she came out, she threw herself into his arms.
"Hmm?" The little guy raised his head, then looked around in confusion.
"Your little pet?" The man turned around and looked at Keke in Xu Xin's arms, then said in surprise, "Ah, this little animal... let me think... a red panda? It's a red panda, right? This animal is not extinct yet?"
"Boo? Boom!" Coco was immediately dissatisfied when she heard that. She waved her little claws to scratch the man's face in the air, and her big tail wanted to swipe at the man's face, "Boom!"
"...The last time I saw a little creature like this was a thousand years ago." The man's voice immediately became a little melancholy. "I thought red pandas had become extinct a thousand years ago. I didn't expect to see this animal again. I really... miss it so much..."
"Can you remember things that happened a thousand years ago so clearly?" Xu Xin couldn't help but ask.
"Everyone has some memories that are indelible," the man sighed. "And the memories of that peaceful time a thousand years ago are the most profound in my heart. Even though those memories only lasted for a little over thirty years, they are far more profound than the nearly thousand years since the war. I can still clearly remember how my daughter squealed at the sight of the red panda..."
daughter……
"Your daughter later..."
The man smiled bitterly and whispered, "She and my wife died in that disaster. I was the only one chosen to survive."
"……sorry."
"It's okay. I was the one who brought this up first. Sigh... I really hope you can succeed..."
There was bitterness in the man's tone, but it seemed... that there was no hatred at all.
Yes, anyone who has been enslaved for thousands of years without any resistance would have their hatred wiped out long ago.
Xu Xin could also tell from his tone that he actually didn't believe that Xu Xin and the others could succeed.
But he still hopes that Xu Xin and others can succeed.
"Hmm..." Coco seemed to notice that the man was in a low mood and stopped screaming.
Then it stood up and leaned against the window, looking outside, its little head tilted: "...Hmm?"
Xu Xin touched Coco's little head and looked out the window at the desolate underground world rapidly receding.
Can they... succeed?
