Chapter six hundred and forty-ninth morning whistle
"Buzz..."
Amidst the sounds of takeoff and landing, the special plane landed at an airport in Shanghai. Afterwards, under the arrangements of the ground personnel, everyone left through a separate exit.
It takes about three hours to fly from Liaoning Province to Shanghai. It is just 8pm. For big cities, nightlife has just begun.
Walking out with Huang Yin, Cheng Lin suddenly saw a crowd of people outside the exit. They were all practitioners who had flown in from all over the Xia Kingdom.
In this exploration, there were about a hundred people from each department, adding up to more than two thousand elites.
The lowest level is the third level, most of them are in the fourth level, the main force is hundreds of fifth level people, and the number goes up even less.
In the field of spiritual practice, there is also a typical pyramid structure.
The major departments and bureaus gathered together, and the atmosphere was naturally very lively. Seeing the people from the Ninth Division arriving, the leaders of other departments and bureaus present also paid their respects. Huang Yin greeted them with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Cheng Lin, on the other hand, unexpectedly enjoyed a welcome that was almost equal to that of Huang Yin - for two consecutive overseas expeditions, although he was not yet friends with most of the powerful people in the department, he was at least quite familiar with them.
All the major departments and bureaus also knew about him.
Cheng Lin's promotion seems to be obvious to all, and he has a promising future, so he is naturally worth making friends with.
If they knew that Cheng Lin had been promoted to the sixth rank, their attitude would be much better.
Thinking about this a little absentmindedly, after saying hello to a few familiar faces, the group got on the bus provided by the Second Division of the Magic City and headed to the dock area. On the way, they started talking about the projection.
Cheng Lin listened for a while and felt a little nervous.
"There is only one projection in the world. This is the first time. I don't know how many practitioners are watching. For example, there are more than 2,000 people here, and there are many other countries. As for the plutocratic forces, they will not be absent either.
Ha, a conservative estimate is that the number of people entering the projection this time must be 20,000." A strong man from the Third Division couldn't help but sigh in the car.
"Twenty thousand? That much?"
"Is this still too much? It is already a very conservative number. There are hundreds of thousands of practitioners in the country. We are selecting the best among the best, so we control the number of people. Other forces may not. There are millions of practitioners in the world.
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a few percent or even a dozen." The strong man from the Third Division shook his head, paused, and then smiled, "But these have little to do with us. The projection area is so large, how many percent?
Thousands of people are involved, and if you want to avoid conflicts, it will be difficult to encounter them."
This is true... Cheng Lin silently agreed in his heart, and then quickly looked away and looked at the document in his hand.
The above is the current information of the projection. Since it has not yet solidified, the details cannot be seen and the area can only be estimated.
This time the projection is not a planet, but a floating continent, but the area is still huge enough. As for the internal details related to it, it is not yet possible to observe it.
…
At around ten o'clock in the evening, the group finally arrived at the dock area. The area had been temporarily sealed off, and a cordon of local military soldiers could be seen.
Everyone showed their IDs to enter, and saw more practitioners gathered here, slightly scattered on the dock square.
Because we still have to wait for a while, Huang Yin announced the temporary disbandment. Everyone can go to the nearby arranged place to rest or eat something to eat.
Cheng Lin didn't go anywhere, just walked in the square, and soon met many old friends.
Sisters such as Li Jin and Li Yu from Liusi.
Since that trip to Slender West Lake, we haven't had the chance to meet each other again. Of course, the appearance was covered up in that meeting. The two sisters seemed to be doing well recently and were full of glory.
Another example is Wu Shushan from the Seventh Division, who looked much more heroic. Song Xianzhen from the Second Division was also there, but Liang Pi didn't see it. Cheng Lin asked and learned that he was injured during the last exploration and was still recovering from his injuries, so he didn't.
Come, this made Cheng Lin feel a little emotional. He even saw Professor Wu Mingxun and Senior Sister Meng from the Magic City Research Institute.
After walking around for a while, Cheng Lin thought about it and walked towards where Shi Si was. He saw Chai Daofei first, chatted with him for a few words, and then found Cao Wei.
When she saw Cheng Lin, the little girl's eyes lit up, and then she suddenly pulled him aside mysteriously, her expression suddenly becoming serious: "Cheng Lin, are you hiding something from me?"
"Yes." Cheng Lin nodded calmly.
Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect his answer to be so direct. She held it in for a long time and didn't know how to continue.
Cheng Lin smiled, his eyes flashed, and asked: "Why do you ask about this?"
The little girl looked around again warily, and when she saw no one was peering over, she leaned over, tiptoed, and said close to Cheng Lin's ear:
"Someone came to me a few days ago and asked me a lot about you."
Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Who asked?"
"It's said to be the leader of our department, but I feel something is wrong. I haven't seen him before. I guess he may be from Beijing. Well, intuition." Cao Wei whispered, "He pretends to be normal.
, they said it was some nonsense about a census of practitioners, haha, it was false at first sight, and they thought I was really a child, but I didn’t expose him and pretended not to notice, so he asked a lot of insinuations,
Especially when I was exploring with Maozi, and when I was on the planet last time, I followed what you taught me to say, and I didn’t let anything slip!"
As he spoke, soft hot air puffed into his ears, making Cheng Lin feel a little itchy.
He tilted his head, touched Cao Wei's horns, and praised, "Well done."
"Hehe..." Cao Wei suddenly felt very happy, but then she thought of something again and said worriedly, "Do you think someone is checking you?"
Cheng Lin smiled: "What are you thinking about every day? What can't be checked? Okay, it's okay. I know what's going on. You can go back first."
"Don't just talk about it, think about it in your heart."
Cao Wei felt angry for no reason when she saw his careless expression.
She knew that Cheng Lin had a secret, she knew it from the frozen soil projection, but she had always been 'smart' in this regard and never asked.
In her mind, if Cheng Lin is willing to talk, or can talk, he will naturally say that questioning will often make things very troublesome, and both she and he hate trouble.
"Okay, I understand, let's go back." Cheng Lin had no choice but to coax her back. When Cao Wei left, the smile on Cheng Lin's face slowly faded and his eyes narrowed slightly, "Sure enough...
"
After thinking for a while, Cheng Lin did not do anything unusual. Instead, he wandered around as if nothing happened. When he met "acquaintances" from various departments, he went up to chat a few words and say hello, but he never got close to the location of the first department.
He knew that Shi Shengcun was there.
…
…
Everything was calm and calm, except for the First Division, which seemed extra busy. Only occasionally, some members could be seen washing "armor" on the beach. This scene was full of a strange sense of beauty.
Cheng Lin, with his simple aesthetics, felt that if it were not night but evening, this picture would probably look better.
No one from the first department took the initiative to come to him, and no one from the major departments or bureaus behaved strangely towards him. Cheng Lin walked around and came back, feeling really enlightened. Then he went to eat a box lunch with a smile and chatted with the members of Shueisha.
After chatting for a while, he fell asleep in the tent.
…
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Cheng Lin was awakened by the whistle of the ship.
When he got out of the tent with a huge "woo", he saw the silhouette of a continent on the horizon in the early morning light, and the approaching "mountains with unparalleled pressure that gradually blocked the sunlight."
”.
At this moment, Cheng Lin rubbed his eyes and saw an aircraft carrier.

ps: Well, although the plot has indeed entered the later stages, it is still some distance from the end, not so soon... don't panic.
