So, the team from South Sea was complete: Strategist Yang Yang, researchers Chu Zhuohua, and several students, with Jing Shu and Hao Yunlai being classified as Power Users.
Su Malie wasn’t categorized, and there was Secretary Wang, the head of logistics, bringing along so ordinary staff and overseeing the whole operation.
The remaining team of Special Ability Users departed from Imperial Capital.
South Sea sent three planes, while Imperial Capital dispatched two planes, including another team and Zhen Nantian with Tan Ke and the others.
Both sides arrived in Wu City at almost the exact sa ti.
Five and a half hours after takeoff, they successfully reached Wu City, the journey was unbelievably smooth, without a single bump.
In short, the team finally arrived from South Sea at the Wu City drop-off point. Jing Shu took a deep breath, it was cold—so cold!
The current weather here was over minus twenty degrees, although it had risen a lot compared to a year and a half ago. But having spent ti in the Middle East and South Sea, where it was two or thirty degrees, even forty degrees above zero, the contrast here was quite stark.
Everything around was a vast expanse of white, with gray snow drifting in the air, and severe air pollution.
As Jing Shu’s plane arrived, the plane from Imperial Capital had already landed, but it seed there was so dispute occurring there.
Big Yellow Teeth, wrapped in a green military coat, trembled from the cold, sipping water from a thermos while rolling his eyes. Beside him stood a group of Zombie People in short sleeves; Situ Xiaoye, with a pale face and no expression, watched the gibbering crowd, with a layer of snowflakes on her face.
"Young people these days can’t take a bit of hardship, what’s wrong with a bit of loss? Taking a loss is a blessing! Moreover, we’re all one big team, you’re from logistics too, what’s wrong with helping us unload so equipnt?" Huang Xiaoxiao, wearing an old down jacket, shivered from the cold unexpectedly, not realizing this place had such chilly weather!
"Exactly, this damned weather is freezing, you’re all Zombie People and don’t fear the cold, rather than standing there, why not help us unload? Your mind is truly wicked, afraid we might discover the secrets in the secret realm first?"
A group surrounded Big Yellow Teeth and the Zombie New Humans, speaking aggressively, yet Big Yellow Teeth and his group rely regarded them as mosquitos buzzing around. They spotted Jing Shu arriving, only then did they chuckle and wave her over.
Jing Shu squeezed through the crowd and asked, "What’s going on? Why are you all blocking the way here? Oh, isn’t this an old acquaintance? How co that PhD position got snatched away but you still managed to co here, truly your connections are solid."
Jing Shu spoke to her old acquaintance Huang Xiaoxiao, who was the one who lost a bet capturing octopuses in Hong Kong and was subsequently pushed out of her job.
Jing Shu didn’t expect to run into her nesis again in this narrow path.
Huang Xiaoxiao too didn’t anticipate eting Jing Shu here; she was shocked and said, "How co you’re everywhere? How did you end up in Wu City on a mission?"
She only got this opportunity because her uncle, a postdoc, seized it, and her uncle was assigned to research the Wu City New Energy incident due to factional ties.
Jing Shu smirked, "My house is in Wu City, why would I not co? What’s up? Didn’t learn to behave in Hong Kong and now want to start bossing people around here?"
Huang Xiaoxiao bit her lip, glared at Big Yellow Teeth and Situ Xiaoye, these Zombie People, "As if you bumpkins could decipher the inside of new energy, indeed a joke." Her uncle ca with confidential information, already having a thirty percent hope for the deciphering thod!
"Let’s go!" Huang Xiaoxiao left with her people, going to find the team’s Power Users for equipnt handling; they brought so much stuff this ti, filling nearly two planes.
There were various weapons, advanced instrunts, even equipnt specially for new energy, food supplies, etc., transportation piled full.
Her uncle pledged with a military order to win this Wu City New Energy mining right.
"Xiaoxiao, why are you leaving? Didn’t you say the second team would help unload?"
"The weather is so cold; how can you expect us researchers to move things?"
Seeing Huang Xiaoxiao left, so researchers stayed for a while, then followed suit and departed.
Big Yellow Teeth wrapped his military coat, laughing, "Why bother with them, a bunch of people flaunting their success, counting on the good stuff from Imperial Capital."
Situ Xiaoye said, "Where are the goods? Let’s go unload them."
Jing Shu clapped her hands, "You might need so watching help, we have Abdominal Foot Worm and others assisting, these need to be taken inside, also a list for you and Secretary Wang to check."
Situ Xiaoye nodded, leading the people to inventory resources.
Jing Shu then asked Big Yellow Teeth, "Where are the other Power Users in the team?"
Big Yellow Teeth drank from his thermos while lanting, "Isn’t Zhen Nantian leading them to battle? On the plane, the ability users from both teams found each other disagreeable but didn’t fight; once they got off the plane, they went sowhere to brawl."
Jing Shu was a bit speechless, didn’t expect such a steady person like Zhen Nantian to agree to such childish behavior? However—
Jing Shu counted heads, "Zhen Nantian’s side is outnumbered, won’t they suffer losses?"
While speaking, two groups approached from afar, one led by Zhen Nantian with Tan Ke and several other teammates, appearing in disarray.
Though the other group had more mbers, they looked rather miserable.
