Chapter 1706: The Beaten-Up Xia Qing and the Excited Seeing Xin Yu
Back when Wu Chengyu had mentioned offhandedly to Xia Qing that he was going to move his home from the inner city of Lan-1 Safe Zone, she had assumed he meant the furniture — at most, the solar panels mounted on the roof and the equipment inside the house, dismantled and brought over.
She never expected this was what "moving" meant!
Is this something a normal human being would do?!
This completely overturns human… no, even wolf cognition. No wonder Wolf Lao Er called her…
Absolutely insane!!!
Seeing the giant Kun helicopter and the house it was carrying, Xia Qing firmly believed for the first time that even if a cataclysmic disaster struck Blue Star, she could survive. The premise being — she had to firmly tie her idol and Big Brother Wu to her ship!
Once Boss Wu recovered, she would ask Big Brother Wu to build her an amphibious house that could travel on land, sea, and air!
At this moment, it wasn't only Xia Qing who found it hard to stay calm. The people near Territory Seven and Territory Eleven, who had personally witnessed the giant Kun helicopter flying over with a two-story house dangling from it, were all in an uproar.
Those who hadn't seen the helicopter because the fog was too thick were also startled by the roar of the heavy-lift helicopter.
Not only were people startled, animals were too.
After Xia Qing returned to Territory Three, she hadn't even driven home when she saw furious Ram Boss charging out with unstoppable force. She was so startled she quickly pulled the car aside and ran forward to meet it.
"Boss! Look what this is—"
"Moo!!!" Furious Ram Boss didn't even look at the green lantern grass in her subordinate's hand and headbutted her flying. Earlier, when things had been so dangerous, it had called out fearfully several times, and its subordinate hadn't rushed back. Ram Boss's fury was at its peak — a handful of grass couldn't placate it at all!
"Thud! Crack—"
Ram Boss directly headbutted her subordinate flying, then crashed into the tree where she had landed, and then headbutted the falling subordinate flying again…
Xia Qing obediently took her beating, then carried Ram Boss on her back, brought Wolf Lao Er along, with Little Feimao in her pocket and Little Yellow Cow in tow, to check on the animals raised in the territory.
The green lantern chickens in the breeding greenhouse hadn't keeled over, but they were clearly frightened. Over thirty green lantern bees in the beekeeping greenhouse had died.
The bees that had withstood the tiger's roar couldn't withstand the giant Kun's low rumble. The bees here had been scared to death, so the losses of bees, rabbits, insects, chickens, etc. in other territories were likely even greater.
Demand compensation from Big Brother Wu? Impossible!
The helicopter designed by the big shot standing at the top of the cosmic pyramid was excellent. The animals being scared to death was because their tolerance was too poor — it was the protective equipment in her own territory that was substandard!
Once the big shot recovered, she would ask him to help them upgrade their equipment!
Just as Xia Qing's mood had barely settled, Seeing Xin Yu, unable to contain her excitement, ran to Territory Three to share her shock with Xia Qing. "Do you think today's thick fog was created by Big Brother Wu? The purpose being to hide the giant Kun helicopter and his house! Otherwise, why would the big shot's house fly 1,500 kilometers through the air without causing any stir online?"
That's impossible.
The day before yesterday, the forecast already predicted heavy fog today. Big Brother Wu had merely made reasonable use of the weather. Last night, he had the helicopter lift the house and leave the inner city of the safe zone. Then, the helicopter carried the house straight through the depths of the Divine Grass Shelf forest region, without passing through any base safe zones along the way, which was why it hadn't caused a sensation.
However, Xia Qing didn't lay out the facts and reason with her clearly excited best friend. She nodded solemnly and suggested, "There will be some stir online. The people who need to know will know soon enough. Before you go back to Hui-2 Base to reclaim the chairman's seat, go stroll around Third Brother's territory and Big Brother Wu's territory a few times first. Let the Hui-2 officials and the upper echelons of the Heavy Alliance know that you have connections with both big shots from our Northern Region One. When the time comes, you won't have to go back personally — they'll come running to you, begging you to come back as the Heavy Alliance chairman."
Know why I'm awesome? Because I stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun and moon!
Seeing Xin Yu was amused by Xia Qing and lay on the sofa giggling nonstop.
Xia Qing poked the dimple on her cheek and asked, "How many points do you think it would take to build a house like the big shot's?"
Seeing Xin Yu shook her head. "Points are secondary. The matte outer layer of that house doesn't reflect light visually at all — it's already achieved a high-end optical stealth effect. And radar and infrared can't capture a clear outline of the house either. This means it likely has significant attenuation or deception effects against multi-spectral detection. The Heavy Alliance's labs don't even have theoretical reports achieving this kind of performance. If this material could be mass-produced, it would completely change the design rules for everything from high-end equipment to safe houses."
Xia Qing nodded. "Right. My vehicle-mounted radar and infrared equipment couldn't capture a clear outline of the helicopter and the house either."
Seeing Xin Yu gazed at her friend longingly. "When do you think I should visit the Wu family without seeming presumptuous? After the big shot recovers?"
Even Seeing Xin Yu, who hated socializing the most, wanted to go see Territory Eleven and the house the Wu family had moved over. The state of everyone else at this moment could well be imagined.
Xia Qing, who had not only seen the house up close but had also helped carry several large boxes into it, was more optimistic. "It won't take that long. When Professor Shi takes her child to school for registration, have Guagua perch on a tree and sing a song. You should get an invitation pretty quickly."
Seeing Xin Yu shook her head. "Guagua doesn't sing well. Once the weather warms up, I'll have Taotao go sing on a tree."
Taotao was a rose-ringed parakeet Seeing Xin Yu kept. Although its brain domain evolution wasn't advanced, it was very close to Seeing Xin Yu. When let out to fly and play, no matter how far it flew, as long as it heard Seeing Xin Yu's call, it would immediately fly back and land on her hand.
"With Taotao on the case, it'll definitely work." Xia Qing asked curiously, "Guagua and Bai Yan still haven't gotten together?"
Seeing Xin Yu sighed. "Guagua doesn't dislike Bai Yan, but it refuses to leave with it; and Bai Yan also refuses to follow Guagua into my house."
If they keep dragging their feet like this, they'll miss this spring's raven breeding season. Xia Qing handed her best friend a washed strawberry. "Are you free the day after tomorrow? If the weather's good that day, let's take the helicopter and bring Guagua to Bird Valley on Mountain Forty-Five."
Seeing Xin Yu, who had been lying down, sat up at once. "Can you spare the time?"
Xia Qing nodded. "Yes. Tomorrow, Sister Yan finishes her leave and returns to the team. I'll be protecting the second batch of experts from the inspection team to visit Mountain Fifty. The day after, they'll leave Northern Region One, and the day after that I'll be free."
Seeing Xin Yu asked curiously, "Are all the experts in this batch leaving? Those two experts studying evolved beasts — aren't they staying to participate in treating Pian Hu?"
Xia Qing snorted. "They're short on funding and refuse to spend points."
Pian Hu had been poisoned for a long time, and treatment was expensive. Li Yunkuan and Zhu Xin actually wanted to stay and conduct joint research with the Territory Seven research institute, but their affiliated research institute refused to share the cost of treating Pian Hu with Territory Seven — they only wanted to share the research data and results. Zhang San naturally disagreed.
Seeing Xin Yu asked curiously, "How many points?"
"Four million each."
Seeing Xin Yu was astonished. "If the Lan-1 Research Institute won't even fork out four million, how could they bear to let Big Brother Wu leave?"
