Although Huang Juyun sounded rather anxious, he wasn’t too worried. After all, his call connected to Zhang Che’s personal terminal. That proved that the boy had returned to Mercury.

“I’m fine, Uncle Huang. I’m very safe right now.” Zhang Che’s tone was very calm. However, huge waves were crashing in hisr heart.

“It’s good that you’re alright. Wait at our Hua Xia region’s camp. Someone will come receive you soon.”

Huang Juyun was fully assured now, and ended the call after instructing Zhang Che.

Zhang Che flew to the Hua Xia’s camp on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. On the way, his mind was on his spiritual sea, looking at the rainbow crystal.

He could clearly sense that the rainbow crystal seemed to be different now, but he just couldn’t put his finger on what exactly was different.

Not only that, he even placed his focus on the golden vortex and tried feeling while in that profound state. However, he still couldn’t tell what was different.

-This big brother, you had a full meal now. What new abilities do you have? Can you tell me?,- Zhang Che pleaded.

This was just too intriguing. He clearly knew some huge changes had happened to the rainbow crystal, and yet he wasn’t able to tell what those changes were. How could Zhang Che possibly take it well?

Alas, the rainbow crystal didn’t show any reaction despite Zhang Che’s pleading.

Zhang Che could only give up. -Perhaps the rainbow crystal will only show what it obtained when I come across some situation in the future?-

“Knock on wood, I rather hope that I don’t get into some strange situation!” Zhang Che shook his head, hurriedly purging this thought from his mind.

——

Before long, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon arrived at Hua Xia’s military camp. The area had become crowded again. Some people were excited, but there were also sad people around.

However, although it was very noisy here, everyone knew that everything that happened in the secret plane was secret, and they couldn’t talk about it in front of others. As such, they only discussed about why the secret plane suddenly collapsed for no apparent reason.

This was no secret, anyway. After the gateway disappeared, everyone suddenly flew out from those star lights. It was all long captured clearly by the satellites in orbit.

As long as they didn’t talk about the situation in the secret plane, no one would care.

—

Not even half an hour later, a jet suddenly appeared in the southern horizon. The loud rumbling immediately attracted the attention of the crowd in the camps below.

When it was about to arrive at the area, the jet’s engine suddenly stopped. The head of the plane tilted down slightly, flying straight towards the camp.

Since its engine had stopped, the jet quickly exited supersonic flight and slowed down more and more. When it was only about a thousand meters away from the camp, the top of the plane suddenly slid open. A metallic pillar rose from the window, spread open, and turned into a propeller.

At the same time, a small propeller also stuck out at the tail.

All of a sudden, a midsize jet was transformed into an odd-looking helicopter, drawing an arc in the air, hovering at low altitude in the sky at the side of the camp.

This kind of hybrid fighter plane was a new type of fighter plane invented just before the arrival of the new age. It could employ jet-powered high speed flight and possessed the nimbleness of helicopters. It was an impressive product.

Regrettably, as the new age dawned upon the world, the position of this kind of jet immediately turned awkward.

Due to some tiny details regarding its structure, it was unable to fly at top speed like real jet-powered fighter planes. It was very easy to get into dangerous situations when they encountered powerful flying beasts.

However, this type of aircraft could ascend and descend like helicopters, after all. It was still very useful in some situations. Take now, for example...

The pilot suddenly announced on the megaphone, “Is Mr Zhang Che here? Please come forth and board the plane. This plane is tasked to bring you back to Bei Du.”

“Is Mr Zhang Che here...”

The camp suddenly fell silent for a moment. Afterwards, the crowd started discussing among themselves. Who is Zhang Che? Why was a military jet brought here so quickly to receive him? Was that guy the descendent of some military top brass?

Soon, a blue silhouette suddenly rose from the crowd. Zhang Che rode on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, under the gaze of many people feeling different emotions, and directly flew towards the hovering fighter plane.

Amid the crowd, Jiang Chao, currently covered in dirt, saw all of this. He was speechless at the sight. Earlier, he was running for his life in the secret plane and was in a sorry state. Seeing Zhang Che sitting comfortably on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back and flying towards the fighter plane in the air nearby, he mulled, -Fuck me, this kid is actually someone from the army. I hope he doesn’t bear grudges. If my old man finds out that I got into such big trouble, my days ahead will be tough...-

Thinking of how he actually dared to chat up Huang Tielan right in front of that guy in the past, he really wanted to beat up his past self with a bat and kill himself. There wouldn’t be any future troubles, then.

While he was flying towards the fighter plane on the Darkfiend Abyssal, Zhang Che, too, was lamenting, -Looks like the Huang family’s influence within the army isn’t low. It’s barely been half an hour and they actually managed to arrange for a plane to fetch me. The efficiency is really nothing to scoff about.-

The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon quickly closed in. The pilot confirmed Zhang Che’s identity before the door slid open on the side of the cabin.

Zhang Che jumped off the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back into the plane cabin. Afterwards, with a wave of his hand, the dragon directly turned into a five-colored streak of light and flew back into his spiritual sea.

In the next moment, the propellers accelerated and the plane turned back south and flew off.

When the plane’s speed had reached a critical point, the jet engine was turned on. The propellers stopped and were retracted into the plane’s body, turning back into a traditional jet.

———–

Inside the fighter plane, there was no one other than the back passenger Zhang Che, and the pilot in the crew cabin in front. He was focused on piloting the plane, with no intention of making conversation with Zhang Che.

It was normal when you thought about it. This pilot was only here on orders to receive him. He wasn’t obligated to make small talk with him. Who would want to chat with strangers?

“Right, it’s been awhile since I returned. Thinking about all the things regarding the secret plane made me forget to inform mom and Miss Tienan about my safe return.”

Zhang Che quickly raised his left arm and opened up his personal terminal, sending a voice call request to Sun Lan.

However, there wasn’t any response.

Zhang Che was stunned for a while. He then gave a call to Miss Tienan, and she was similarly not responding.

His expression changed slightly. -Did my personal terminal just break again?-

-Impossible! Future father-in-law gave me a call when I just came out!-

In the camp, shortly after Zhang Che entered the jet and left, another similar plane arrived. Hovering in the air, a megaphone blared out towards the camp, “Who is Zhang Che, Zhang-shao? We’re here on orders to receive you back to Bei Du.”

The camp immediately exploded into discussion!

Who exactly was this fellow named Zhang Che? Two batches of people came one after another to receive him! This treatment was simply too envious!

Jiang Chao, who was still among the crowd, his expression had turned extremely ugly by now. He was even considering whether he should withdraw from school after returning and just stay at his hometown?

Such a huge figure was truly someone he couldn’t afford to offend...
