550: Chapter 543: The Girls’ Way Out 550: Chapter 543: The Girls’ Way Out “Little Ke, is your injury serious?” Luo’er asked with concern as he approached Hu Daoke.
“Just a small wound, it’ll heal in a few days!” Hu Daoke lifted his arm which was tightly wrapped in a splint, dismissing it lightly.
Although there were dics on board the airship, they could mostly only deal with minor injuries.
To fully heal Hu Daoke’s wound, they would have to go to Divine Wood Down.
Ever since they saw Luo’er revived by a priest, almost everyone ceased to question the dical skills of Ilanadale.
“That researcher nad Gude is making a fuss, claiming we ruined the crystallization of human civilization.” Shangguan Jiu reported to Li Si.
“Ignore him, if he becos unbearable, bind him and gag him.” Nightingale continued browsing through a thick book, her brow furrowed, speaking coldly.
After finishing her fieldwork, Nightingale undid her ponytail again, put on her white lab coat and donned a large, round-frad pair of glasses.
“Don’t be so harsh, let Luo’er go and have a proper talk with him.” Li Si suggested after coughing a bit.
As he spoke, he occasionally observed Nightingale’s appearance.
“Understood!” Luo’er nodded, then turned to walk out of the office.
Just as he reached the doorway, he almost collided with Luoya who was entering.
Luckily, Luo’er quickly reacted and steadied her by the shoulders.
“Why rush in so carelessly without looking ahead?” Luo’er spoke while looking down.
As he gazed at Luoya, there was a softness in his eyes and a gentle tone in his voice.
Luoya raised her head to look at him, then furrowed her brows, asking discontentedly, “Why didn’t you tell when you ca back?”
“Ah, oh, you were sleeping, so I didn’t want to disturb you,” Luo’er replied after a delay.
Luoya was in charge of communication between the Advance Team and the airship, so she had spent the entire night awake.
After the Advance Team completed their mission, she finally relaxed and couldn’t resist the onset of sleepiness, choosing to rest before the team returned.
Upon hearing this, Luoya opened and closed her mouth as if wanting to say sothing but hesitated.
After a while, she reached out and gave his arm a pinch, then tidied his collar.
She furrowed her brows again, revealing a disgusted expression, “Why do you always get in my way, move!”
“Oh.” Luo’er blinked several tis, scratching his head as he made way, not knowing what he’d done to upset her.
After a pause, he continued towards the warehouse to appease the grumbling Gude.
Once Luo’er left, Luoya seed sowhat lost.
She timidly stood at the entrance, scanned the room a few tis, then stiffly turned and left without uttering a word to anyone in the room.
“This Luoya is still textbook tsundere.” Hu Daoke couldn’t help shaking his head.
The airboat took just a few hours to arrive over the lake, parking in mid-air to wait for the mbers of the Judgent Legion to arrive.
These guys, despite being on horseback, took almost a day to return, each one looking worse for wear.
However, the load capacity of the airboat was indeed limited.
With the addition of these guys and their horses, the airboat would be completely overloaded.
So Li Si gave Dina two options: board the people or the horses, otherwise, they could ride the horses back.
Dina knew that they were in a passive position, so they did not dare to refute Li Si’s demand, and one after another, they abandoned their horses and boarded the ship.
The warehouse on the ship had already been sectioned off, with part of it for the living quarters of the judgent knights and part for the researchers, and another part for the housing of the girls who used to be test subjects.
While waiting for the Judgent Knights to return, Li Si and the Advance Team had an ideological exchange with these girls.
Less than five people wanted to get off the boat and look for their families, almost everyone else was willing to follow the airboat to Yazhi City.
This caused Li Si to sigh helplessly, and he considered opening a girls’ school at their station.
But this is not a big deal at the mont, once they have taken control of the Otherworld Gate in Lipei and have successfully opened it, that place will beco an independent leasehold for the headquarters, and feeding this group of girls is not a big deal.
Moreover, the reason the headquarters has been tolerating Luo’er getting more people to the station, aside from accommodating him, is that the headquarters’ thinking towards Otherworld has changed.
Even though the Origin Project has nurtured over a hundred thousand subspecies people, the headquarters understands very well that even if two colleges worked round the clock to cultivate subspecies people, it would still be hard to et the requirents for talent in the front line stations.
It is under such an unbalanced supply and demand situation that the Mingming Plan ca into being.
Instead of going through the trouble of cultivating subspecies people, it might be better to directly reeducate the Otherworlders to beco our people and take care of the Otherworld affairs for the headquarters.
Or else, with the expanding demands of the battlefield, the need for subspecies people would increase.
Even if a few more subspecies people colleges were added, they cannot et future demands.
The objective factor that Earthlings have difficulty surviving in Otherworld tells them that the best way to fully control Otherworld is to train the local people to govern the local people, instead of painfully pursuing such pointless technological progress.
As the Origin Project has been developed to date, the Army has been harangued by its two sibling branches for ages.
Due to the Origin Project, most of the defense budget has been allocated to the Army, leading to the slow developnt of the Air Force and Navy.
The Army also couldn’t bear decades of muckraking, so they simply transferred the headquarters, along with the project, to the Ministry of Defense, which then took the lead in the Origin Project, thus saving them from further trouble.
To educate the people of Otherworld, the first step is to establish an honorable image of themselves in their hearts, and these rescued people are the best candidates for such education.
With the knights boarding the airboat, the airboat’s security dropped a level.
Li Si had to assign more manpower to watch over the girls’ living quarters, to prevent these old rogues from causing trouble.
At the sa ti, Fulajie’er voluntarily ca forward to protect her sisters.
Having received double protection, these girls were completely unaware of the danger and still jabbering away all day.
Li Si had to ask Nightingale to give the girls so lessons to instill so discipline in them, as well as to get them started on learning so knowledge about Earth, so that they can start their education imdiately when they arrive at the station.
With the company of Fulajie’er, Nightingale was not resistant.
However, these girls always liked the three n from the advance team, especially the half-elf, Luo’er.
After being mobbed when he went to do so ideological work last ti, Tangmo never dared to let Luo’er go to the girls’ living area alone again.
And so, the airboat, carrying a boatload of people, set off for Divine Wood Down, full to the brim.
The outco of their latest mission was exceedingly fruitful and the losses were within an acceptable range.
The only downside was that it seed the people of the Ancient States had found out about the High-peak people’s help to the Advance Team and have been demanding an explanation from them.
These dwarves were cunning, they would rather die than admit their airboat had appeared in the southern areas.
For the High-peak people, as long as they can keep these Ancient State people steady and let so ti go by, everything will be fine.
Even if they were to have a falling out, they wouldn’t hand Li Si and the others over.
After all, the current cooperation between Ronisca and the headquarters is much deeper than it is with the Ancient States.
If they were to fall out, the worst case scenario for Ronisca would be not being able to sell Magic Crystal Ore to the Ancient States.
But if they have a falling out with the headquarters, most of Ronisca’s agriculture and life would co to a standstill.
Although their industry could et so of their needs, it cannot compare with the resources provided by the headquarters.
