Chapter 660: Airship
The July sky is getting hotter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The sun outside the window is hot, and the unknown insects are hoarse, and in the afternoon it is even more drowsy.
At the gate of Wu Ming's community, several teenagers gathered together, but they looked very excited.
"Hey Philip, is this your girlfriend?"
Alice was obviously dressed up to highlight her feminine features, and her thighs in stockings made passers-by look a little straight, and when she saw Philip come out first, she immediately greeted her.
"It's not! I'm going to introduce you, this is Lanny, I'm ...... My good friend! ā
Philip hurriedly explained, and was immediately met with a roll of the eyes of the tall girl next to him.
"I'm Alice, hello!"
"I've heard Philip talk about you, congratulations on your graduation!"
Lanny replied with a smile.
"Oh! Philip, you actually brought a girlfriend over! ā
The exaggerated voice immediately made Philip roll his eyes: "Lanny, this is Viddy, there is something wrong with his head, don't worry about him!" ā
"Hey, you kid......"
Vidi made a wicked smile and didn't say a word.
"Looks like you're all here first!"
At this time, Wu Ming also walked out of the community, carrying a travel bag in his hand, followed by two people: "Is it only Philip who brought a companion?" ā
"You ......"
Alice's attention suddenly saw the two people beside Wu Ming, the little girl was Angelina, they naturally knew each other, but there was also a big boy who was obviously not Brandon, he was several years older than Brandon, and his face gave them a very familiar feeling.
"Don't you know? I'm Neville! ā
Neville said in a deep voice, "Your elementary school classmates! ā
"Oh! That's right, Neville, that's you! ā
Vidi laughed a few times to hide his previous embarrassment: "What are you doing now?" ā
"Do a little recycling business, it just so happened that Steven said there was a trip and brought me along!"
Crawling in society early on, Neville has more of an adult temperament, just looking at these former classmates, knowing that their future is far from being comparable to himself, he still can't help but feel a little jealous and inferior in his heart.
"Alright, now that the people have arrived, let's go!"
Wu Ming clapped his hands, and Dave and another driver who came to him immediately stepped forward and helped everyone carry the salute: "We will take an airship, cross most of the Golden Oak Kingdom, and then sail to the Red Coral Sea!" ā
He smiled and said the plan of the trip, which drew a round of cheers.
Only Angelina snorted coldly, as if she was not very happy, but this kind of child's tantrum behavior, Wu Ming would not pay attention to it.
It was Angelina's future that gave him a little headache, after all, this little girl already had a tendency to develop into a little sister, and Wu Ming didn't want to cause himself a trouble in the future, so he pulled her up this time, ready to do his duty as a brother.
"Since the end of the war, the Golden Oak Kingdom has felt the defeat in the armored airship, and now it is vigorously developing the airship industry, and even our city has recently opened up a route, I have long wanted to try it!"
Philip pushed his glasses, and a flash of excitement flashed in his pupils, as did Lenny next to him.
They all come from ordinary families, and the cost of a single airship ride is still relatively expensive, and if there is no urgency, they would rather take a steam train, and it takes about the same time to go to most places anyway, but they will suffer a little sin.
The airport is located in the southern suburbs of the city, originally an empty plain, on the side of the wide road, there are acres of blue flowers, the wind blows, pieces of blue petals fly all over the sky, the air is a good smell, refreshing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the airport has arrived!"
Dave stepped on the brakes, jumped out of the car neatly, and pulled the door open for Wu Ming.
"Wow! Cruel! ā
What appeared in front of the teenagers was an empty and flat building, and olive airships like big ships were constantly rising and falling.
The sheer size, and the feeling of security, is undoubtedly reassuring.
Adhering to the concept of 'big is good, bulky is beautiful', developed in the steampunk era, no matter what you build, today's Golden Oak Kingdom has a tendency to move closer to this direction.
The army's steam tanks are getting bigger and bigger, with more and more barrels, and thicker and thicker, almost turning into a walking multi-turret fortress, and the same is true for the navy, which requires the thicker and longer the cannon, and the thicker the armor, the better.
When it comes to civilian airships, it also has this kind of embodiment, although it looks a little 'stupid and coarse' in Wu Ming, but it is in good operation and has a long service life, so that no shortcomings can erase its merits.
"Alright, Dave, just send us here, you can go back!"
Wu Ming waved his hand to let Dave and the other driver leave, and gave the hired guy a little tip, and the group walked into the hall for a few sessions.
The huge waiting room was almost full, and every now and then someone got up and looked anxiously at the changing numbers on the small blackboard hanging above the hall.
Angelina seemed a little uneasy and moved closer to Wu Ming.
After all, she is just a child, and the first time she goes out, even if she just comes to a strange place, she is inevitably a little frightened.
"Don't worry, it's okay!"
Wu Ming accurately grasped her mental activity and sent a warm smile.
What he wants is this kind of feeling, so that his sister can start to rely on and trust him, so that it will be convenient for him to adjust later...... No! Educate!
Hearing Wu Ming's comfort, I don't know why, Angelina's mood relaxed a lot, and she dared to look at the other waiting guests.
"I've already bought the airship ticket, now we should go to the second waiting room!"
Neville ran to the window to line up, and after a while, he ran back, and one of them stuffed a delicate red bill: "The journey is five days, and we will land at Victoria Harbour!" ā
"Attention passengers, please note passengers, the No. 2 airship has begun to check in tickets, please line up and check in an orderly manner!"
A sweet female voice rang out in Waiting Room 2.
Immediately, a bunch of sitting, lying, and other guys stood up, took out their receipts, and rushed to the ticket gate.
"Wow, that's big!"
Immediately after passing through the long hallway, Angelina let out an exclamation.
Although they had seen the airship from afar, when they really came to it, even Vidi and the others couldn't help but be amazed.
The other party was as big as a hill, and compared to the airship, they were as small as an ant.
"Dear passengers, Gefei Aviation is at your service!"
In the airship, the horn in the aisle always echoes a sweet female voice: "Our company uses the most advanced airship technology, split airbags, and composite steel deck...... Everything puts the safety of passengers first, creating a comfortable, safe and hygienic travel environment for you, and providing three-star restaurant service...... Finally, I wish you a great journey! ā
"Our rooms are all adjacent, so if you have anything to do with it, just knock on the wall!"
Wu Ming handed out the key and opened the door of a cabin at random.
Inside is a small private room, with a table, a bed, and even a separate dressing room, which is an unimaginable luxury for ordinary people.
In the case of airships, this is also a VIP-level luxury private room service, if it is changed to ordinary economy class, it is like a coffin, and it is quite difficult to even stretch your legs.
"Well, it's taken off!"
At this time, the airship shook slightly.
Wu Ming looked out from the round tempered glass window on the wall, and saw that the ground was getting farther and farther away, and the buildings were beginning to become smaller.
"Rest well, the reputation of Gefei Airlines is also famous in the Golden Oak Kingdom, the safety is the most guaranteed, and it is also the most comfortable!"
Wu Ming announced the dissolution of the crowd: "Wait until six o'clock in the evening, let's go to dinner together!" ā
"Hey, man, do you want to play together?"
Vidi couldn't bear it anymore and pulled out a deck that resembled a tarot card.
Although playing this kind of game, he teamed up with Philip, plus an Alice, and was not Wu Ming's opponent, but he just liked it.
"I'll take a walk around first!"
Wu Ming refused with a smile: "Have fun!" ā
He walked aimlessly down the aisle, when suddenly, he took out another key and opened a private room at hand.
Inside was an ordinary cabin, but there was a strange fragrance lingering on the tip of the nose.
"Is it already here?"
Wu Ming glanced at the table, saw an envelope, immediately stuffed it into his hand, and left without looking back.
Sneaking into the airship to leave a message is naturally the charming fox Diya.
After this woman was subdued by Wu Ming, she had been searching for extraordinary information about this world for him, and after three years of temptation, she also gained a little.
Otherwise, Wu Ming would not have set the goal of his graduation trip in the Red Coral Sea.
With the strength of this woman now, she is not at all comparable to ordinary A-class wanted criminals, and it is said that her reputation in the international dark mercenary world is getting louder and louder, even to the point that ordinary special search offices dare not provoke her.
"Have you agreed with the other party to meet in Victoria Harbour?"
Wu Ming blinked and silently exited the door.
With the current Dia's hypnotic attainments, coupled with a little mental power skills, no one can find her on the airship, of course, this does not include Wu Ming.
"Are you already gone? What a cunning little fox! ā
Obviously, Diya's vigilance is very high, knowing that this kind of airship transportation with very strong security checks, unless it has a serious identity, it is possible to be exposed, and there is nowhere to run, so he still chooses a more hidden and unmonitored ground transportation.
Wu Ming was quite satisfied with this woman's vigilance.
