Not long after the hovering car was quiet again, Charlene finally couldn't help but gradually fall asleep. In her previous trip to the underground, she hadn't recovered her vitality after all.

And after Charlene fell asleep, what she didn't know was that Chu Ci, who had already fallen asleep, opened his eyes and looked at Charlene thoughtfully for a while.

"Boss, don't tell her about that incident, is it okay?" Seeing Chu Ci's movements, Lan Zhiyuan in the cockpit in the front seat sent a message with the communication on the wrist instrument.

Chu Ci glanced up at Lan Zhiyuan, then shook his head.

This girl's love at this time was already very unstable, and he didn't want to continue to stimulate her at all. That thing has already been done anyway, and it will be the same to sue her later.

Seeing Chu Ci's attitude, Lan Zhiyuan opened his mouth and stopped talking. But Chu Ci had already closed his eyes while reading.

Lan Zhiyuan could only smile bitterly.

Their boss's emotional intelligence really can't be overestimated. I hope that when Charlene finds out about it, she won't be angry.

The hovercar was fast, at least in Charlene's opinion.

Before she could adjust the fact that she was once again inexplicably tied to the thief ship by Chu Ci, she seemed to be vaguely aware of the fact that she was regarded as a "very important thing" by the other party and needed to be carried with her for some reason, and they arrived at the station.

Opening her sleepy eyes, Charlene rubbed her eyes, then sat up straight from her chair and surveyed the city beneath her feet in mid-air.

As the capital of the Federation, Mingyang City is also the center of economy, culture and even military politics, and its prosperity is naturally far from being comparable to that of a small marginal city like Panyu City.

As the first city-state established in the new era of the Federation, the three characters of Mingyang City itself are a symbol of prosperity in a thousand-year history. Not to mention the wisdom and strength that has been condensed after thousands of years of historical precipitation and development.

Here, there are the most powerful superpowers, the most mysterious supernatural families, the most top scientific researchers, the most complete facilities, and the most complete and confidential of the Federation, the classification of the abilities of all the supernatural beings on the entire earth, and the history of their rise and fall.

This is the true heart of the Federation on Earth, the real core fortress of the Federation, and the place where only the best citizens and the most powerful families of the Federation can stand.

Of course, it is also a place where the proportion of Eastern and Western Abilities in the Federation is relatively even.

And a person with an identity like the Xia family, at most, is qualified to mix a specific open area for sightseeing here.

As for the matter of a big stinger like Charlene riding a military hovercar into the inner core area of Mingyang City, or even directly entering the hinterland of the Nine Hermit Families, don't even think about it.

Of course, these extremely confidential things, Charlene, who is extremely lacking in some common sense, naturally do not know. Therefore, when she heard that she had arrived, Charlene was reluctant in addition to reluctance.

Although it is undeniable that it is indeed very prosperous and beautiful, and even its prosperity is far greater than that of Charlene's memory of the capital. If Charlene had come here by herself today, she would have been very happy.

But only if she came here of her own free will, not by force.

Seeing Charlene curiously looking at the cityscape below, everyone tacitly did not speak, but quickly sorted out their things again and checked them, and quickly returned the items on the hovercar to their places.

So when Charlene came back to her senses, the nutrient supplements, alien plant samples, and even the small quilt cover that everyone had placed randomly on her body were no longer in the hovering car.

Even the small quilt cover on Xia Lin's body that seemed to have been covered while she was asleep was taken away by Chu Ci.

The efficiency of everyone, even if they have been together for a short time, still makes Charlene a little amazed. Even in the last days, many people may not be so productive.

Probably, this is the difference between these people and these soldiers.

Such thoughts flashed through Charlene's mind, but she followed everyone down from the hovercar that had landed.

The place where the hovercar was parked was an antique-looking ...... Mansion?? composed of a complex of buildings.

The area of this complex is naturally much larger than the area of the Yu family, after all, a family like the Chu family that has experienced thousands of years of historical changes and ups and downs, even if their family has been hidden in front of the world, in fact, their status in the Federation will only be higher.

The so-called seclusion is just that it no longer appears on the surface of the federal government in the name of the family.

The Chu family is not a family that likes extravagance and extravagance, but after all, it has a history of thousands of years, and even if they do not expand, their area has reached a terrible level.

Not to mention that there are several big families other than the Chu family. The area occupied by these families alone is already equal to the area of several middle-class cities. However, the addresses and security of these families are the top secrets of the Federation for the Federation.

In order to ensure that the historical relics of these families will not be destroyed, it is no wonder that the Federation has chosen to close the inner city.

"Report Major General Chu, Second Lieutenant Xu Shuoyang of the Fifth Army of the Federation Wood Legion is here to report!" When everyone got out of the hovercar, they saw a man in military uniform with two teams of men coming to greet them.

Charlene was a little surprised to find that the other party was still an acquaintance.

Xu Shuoyang also hurried over from the Federal History and Military Museum after receiving a notice that Chu Ci was going to come back with everyone.

He has been searching for information day and night for a long time, and finally got some beautiful eyes a few days ago, so his face at this time is full of joy and excitement.

Of course, in the eyes of people who don't know the truth, they will only think that he is excited because he saw Chu Ci and others who returned safely.

At least, that's what Charlene thinks.

Of course, he couldn't report those materials in detail in front of a group of people in this place, so after simply reporting some things to Chu Ci during this time, he mentioned them one by one, telling Chu Ci that he "has important things to report".

"Oh, look at it, who is this cutie?" Xu Shuoyang and Chu Ci finished reporting their work, but their voices suddenly changed, and they focused on Xia Lin, who had been reluctantly hiding behind everyone from the beginning, thinking about how to get rid of Chu Ci's clutches.

In fact, it was probably only him and Bai Qiang, in fact, from the moment Xia Lin got off the hovercar, Xu Shuoyang's gaze had been firmly glued to Xia Lin's body and never moved away.

It's just that in order to avoid arousing Charlene's vigilance or even vigilance, he didn't dare to make it too obvious, so he could only try his best to pretend not to care.

Charlene, who was in the spotlight for an instant, raised her head and looked at each other blankly. "What?"

"Flutter!" Seeing Xia Lin like this, Xu Shuoyang, who had already prepared how to deal with the girl's accusation against Chu Ci, couldn't help laughing.

I haven't seen you for a long time, this girl's personality seems to be getting more and more interesting~ It's really hard to help but itch your hands, what should I do?

But thinking of the conversation between Elder Huangfu and Chu Dian that he "overheard", Xu Shuoyang still silently endured this thought.

Although he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he obviously doesn't want to die too aggrieved at all. Pry the corner of your boss or something...... That's looking for death?!

Of course, he wouldn't know that he had been staring at Charlene from the beginning, even when he was reporting to Chu Ci, his attention had not left Charlene for more than three seconds, and Chu Ci had already seen it clearly in his eyes.

Not only in the eyes, but also in the heart.

However, what Chu Ci remembered in his heart was another thought.

In view of Xia Lin's "special circumstances", she was directly arranged to live in the Chu family.

Of course, in fact Charlene does not have the right to object and the right to choose. After all, what everyone was stepping on at this time belonged to the Chu family.

Charlene had a bitter face, but looking at the group of soldiers around her, she could only swallow her temper silently.

Well, she's a coward who is afraid of death. So the coward Charlene couldn't help but glared at Xu Shuoyang viciously. It's all this bastard, what are you doing with so many people, give yourself courage?!

Xia Lin's overly fiery eyes, Xu Shuoyang naturally felt it, especially when he thought that he was the earliest person in this group of people to get acquainted with Xia Lin, and the relationship between the two was quite good when they were in Panyu Middle School, so he could only stubbornly get together.

"What's that...... Welcome to Mingyang City......"

Charlene looked at Xu Shuoyang with a strange look. "You're a second lieutenant?"

"Uh...... Ahem...... That one...... It's just a clerical job......" Xu Shuoyang was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

How many years has he been in the army honestly? Even if he has been on the battlefield for all these years and has been making meritorious contributions, he will not be promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. After all, in the Federation, the assessment of military ranks is the most rigorous.

But it's not like there's no shortcuts.

People like Xu Shuoyang, who don't care about power at all and whether they have troops under their hands, can go as civilian officers. In the Federation, the army is even completely regarded as a complete political system, and even in the political direction, it can compete with the Federal Assembly, so naturally it is impossible to rely on fists.

These civilian officers are not very rigorously evaluated, and promotion is often easy. As long as there is no problem with their identity, and the family has not done anything too vicious, and they are smart enough, they can be in charge.

Of course, that's just civilian officers at the lowest level. And if you want to rise, it's actually very easy. As long as the officers they serve are high enough in rank and strong enough, it is not surprising to them that they jump several levels.

After all, they don't need much force to do it. And as for the size of loyalty and ability, that's the question of the person who uses them.

Xia Lin didn't know much about these situations, but she could obviously hear from Xu Shuoyang's tone that the civilian second lieutenant was much more watery than Chu Ci's military position, because his gaze became more and more strange. R1152
