As Professor Leonard looked at the lady from behind, a trace of disappointnt appeared on his face.
He turned his head to look at Lu Zhou and said, “You shouldn’t have rejected her.”
“Why?”
“You are not in the system. Even if you have an ID card, you probably aren’t registered in the household registration database. You don’t receive benefits from the Pan-Asian cooperation. You can’t open a personal account. Sooner or later, you will need help. Your identity information would have been canceled a long ti ago. It is not that simple to go through the Pan-Asian’s household registration procedures...”
After taking a peek at the side and seeing that no one was looking here, Professor Leonard leaned close to Lu Zhou and continued in a low voice, “I know a little Chinese. Listening to that lady’s words, she should be Chinese... Do you know what this ans?”
“What does it an?”
“Among the household registrations of many mber states of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, the one with the highest value and the most difficult to apply is the household registration of China. If you marry her and successfully naturalize for 12 months, you will be able to pay back the credits you borrowed—”
“F*ck off.”
Perhaps Leonard was frightened by Lu Zhou’s tone, he shrank his neck and imdiately shut his mouth.
...
Lu Zhou originally thought that his refusal was not polite enough, but he did not expect that he underestimated the passion of people in this era.
Over the past two days, the woman had been approaching him constantly and using romantic words she probably read from a romance novel.
Perhaps it was because the way people expressed their love in this era was so straightforward, in addition to feeling embarrassed, Lu Zhou felt violated.
Bewildered by Lu Zhou’s reaction, Professor Leonard finally spoke after two days.
“Don’t tell ... you actually like n.”
Lu Zhou, who was drinking water, almost choked to death by the water. He coughed several tis before he responded.
“What?”
F*ck!
If I choke to death from drinking water after saving us from the hijackers, that would be embarrassing.
“I was just curious.” Professor Leonard shrugged and glanced at the front row. “Even if you don’t like her, why not give it a try? Or do you not like the fact that she has children?”
“Why do I have to waste ti trying? I don’t agree with your logic...” Lu Zhou put the drinking water bag aside and continued, “Moreover, in our era, romance should be more subtle. Anyway, I can’t accept it.”
“I see... That is a valuable piece of information.”
After hearing this, Professor Leonard pinched his chin and nodded.
However, he suddenly realized that Lu Zhou had quietly moved away from him.
Leonard quickly realized what was going on, so he explained, “Don’t be mistaken... I an value in the sense of ancient cultural studies.”
Lu Zhou: “...”
...
Two days after passing by the Tianzhou space station, the two patrol ships of the Pan-Asian Cooperation First Fleet arrived at the flight N-177.
After the rging operation was completed, the two patrol ships sandwiched flight N-177, while the docked patrol ship supplied the propellant for the flight.
As Lu Zhou looked at the Pan-Asian soldiers boarding the flight, his heart finally relaxed. The other tired faces in the cabin also showed expressions of relief.
This was probably the longest flight they had even taken in their lives.
However, for Lu Zhou, this was a “normal” length of ti for a flight between Mars and Earth.
In addition to the condolences, the soldiers of the Pan-Asian Cooperation also checked the identity cards of the passengers on the ship.
One reason was to eliminate potential safety hazards and prevent the accomplices of those space pirates from hiding in the passengers, and the other reason was to check whether anyone was missing or killed.
To be honest, when it was his turn, Lu Zhou was a little nervous.
After all, he was not in the system. If a problem was found, it would be difficult to explain himself.
Fortunately, his worries were superfluous because Xiao Ai was as reliable as ever.
When the soldier who scanned his ID card found no problems, he politely returned the card to him, then walked to the next passenger.
These soldiers did not interact much with the passengers.
After recovering the corpses and the wreckage of the robots, so of them returned to the patrol ship, leaving only the pilot and two marines on the flight.
Lu Zhou was curious as to what they would write in the investigation report after seeing the robot corpses.
The magnetic slingshot was easy to explain, but he really didn’t know how to explain the nitrogen shield.
But what was interesting was that those Pan-Asian Cooperation soldiers did not question him too much. They rely expressed surprise and admiration for his brave actions, then went on to do other things.
After the completion of the fuel supplent, flight N-177 began on its return journey.
A professional pilot operated the spacecraft and repaired the dismantled modules. There were no accidents in the second half of the voyage...
Lu Zhou was about to arrive at the Tianzhou space station.
“The flight will arrive in 15 minutes. You will stop at the Tianzhou space station for a while, then take the shuttle to Yangtze River Delta city group: Jinling City.
“As for the compensation, Pan-Asian Airlines and the Pan-Asian Air Traffic Control Bureau will negotiate with you in the future. We will inform you of the cause of the accident as soon as the investigation results co out.
“We are sincerely sorry for what has happened...”
Lu Zhou didn’t pay attention to what the soldier said after.
As he looked at the azure planet reappearing in the window and the towering spaceport, his heart was filled with shock, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.
It was difficult to describe the feelings that were boiling in his heart at the mont.
In addition to the majestic spaceport and azure planet, what was printed in his eyes was partly excitent, partly anxiety, and so inexplicable emotions.
Perhaps this was what hosick felt like.
He had been away for a hundred years.
Most people hadn’t even lived a hundred years.
But to him, everything from a century ago seed to have happened yesterday.
In the blink of an eye, everything changed...
...
Pan-Asia, Yangtze River Delta city group, Jinling.
A crowd was waiting next to the landing area of the airport.
Except for so people joining in on the fun, most of them were personal dia and journalists from all over the world, as well as the official personnel of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
Drones for live broadcasting floated above people’s heads, while caras were pointed at the distant sky.
Today was the day the passengers of flight N-177 would return.
Ever since the flight was hijacked, this transport ship had beco the focus of the world dia’s attention.
This was a Pan-Asian Cooperation flight!
A regional alliance led by the world’s largest power!
Who could be so brave enough to provoke the powerful Pan-Asian Cooperation?
Almost everyone in the world was watching the progress of this hijacking incident. They waited for the follow-up response of Pan-Asian cooperation and prayed for the passengers on the flight.
And now, after a series of bad news, there was finally good news.
The passengers who were hijacked were finally taken back to Earth.
In half an hour, they would land here...
“We are in front of the Pan-Asian Cooperation Jinling Aerospace Airport...”
Faced in front of a drone, a stylishly dressed lady reporter held a recording pen in her hand and explained the situation live on the scene in an excited voice.
“Soon, the shuttle from the Tianzhou space station will land here and safely bring our friends back! Look! Here they co!”
A touch of silver appeared in the distant sky.
A shuttle ca out of the clouds, getting closer and closer to the ground. It finally landed smoothly on the open space in the landing zone.
A movable gangway approached the shuttle. The pneumatic escalator popped up and docked with the open hatch. The passengers finally appeared in front of the caras.
When Lu Zhou walked out of the shuttle, the dazzling sunlight shined into his eyes.
He imdiately received attention.
“Thank you, hero of the Pan-Asian people!”
A middle-aged man in formal clothes stepped forward and gave him a big hug.
“On behalf of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, I extend my highest respect and gratitude to you! Welco, welco ho!”
Lu Zhou glanced at him blankly. After Lu Zhou shook hands with him, he saw the recording pens, caras, and interview drones flooding behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the suffocating questions flooded him.
“I heard that you defeated the hijackers on the flight?”
This was probably the simplest question.
However, Lu Zhou gave an ambiguous answer.
“Sort of...”
Xiao Ai did 70% of the work, and the high-tech weapons provided by the system accounted for at least 20%.
However, the way the reporters interpreted his short answer was completely different.
The scene went into chaos.
“Can you tell us the specifics?”
“Sorry, I don’t want to recall the incident.”
This was Professor Leonard’s suggestion to him. If there was a question that he didn’t want to answer, he could just refuse it.
In the 22nd century, whether it was a reporter’s interview or a question, unless it was an accusation of so special cri, even a court could not force a person to speak.
Sure enough, after he bluntly refused, the reporter did not continue to ask the details, even though his expression was clearly one of disappointnt.
However, there were still a bunch of questions waiting for him.
A young lady reporter squeezed into the front row of the crowd. She looked at him with admiring eyes and said excitedly, “Hero, can I ask for your na?”
Na...
“I...”
Lu Zhou opened his mouth.
He wanted to say the na on his ID card.
But after being silent for a while, he suddenly changed his mind.
I am Lu Zhou.
I always have been...
This was the na that his parents gave him. The na that was recognized by the world. It was not sothing worthy or needed to be covered up.
Faced with the recording pens and the eyes of admiration, excitent, and curiosity, Lu Zhou looked at the caras.
He spoke in a clear and confident tone.
“I am Lu Zhou.”
