Scientific Travel

Mei Shengke found everything fascinating, so he explored every corner of the world.

She had a heavy burden on her shoulders before she came, which is why she looked preoccupied.

But now that the food problem is solved, Mei Shengke is no longer as stern and unsmiling as before.

...but she remained silent during meals.

Dog Egg is a chatterbox; he'll talk about anything delicious, and he'll talk about anything unpalatable.

To Deng Yin's left sat a person eating quietly, and to his right sat a person who chattered incessantly, no matter what he ate, he couldn't shut up.

Deng Yin would change seats at each meal.

They ate all their meals in her room, at a square table. Mei Shengke and Gou Dan always had their assigned seats, but Deng Yin would sit at one end one day and the other the next.

Our ears need a break...

......

Knowing the situation was urgent, Deng drove at top speed the whole way, but even so, it still took him a day and a night to get there.

The first thing you see is the gate, which you have to crane your neck to see. Even in this kind of weather, there are still guards on the city wall.

As the iron ship drew closer, the guard shouted, "Who goes there?"

Deng Yin opened the cabin door, and Mei Shengke stood at the bow, but he was not hit by the hail.

Deng Yin put her hand on Mei Shengke's shoulder, so that the rain wall could also cover her.

Dog Egg watched from the side, feeling a pang of jealousy.

It can still be like this!

Having traveled together for so long, he's always either been drenched or hit with water; he's never experienced this kind of treatment before.

But Deng Yin is still angry, and Gou Dan doesn't dare to complain, for fear of making her even angrier.

As someone brought by the gods, how could Deng Yin let Gou Dan be in such a sorry state!

She put one in each hand!

Dog Egg was very happy.

...She's not angry anymore, is she?

But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm and composed.

With so many people watching, I have to pretend I don't care, otherwise I'll lose face!

Both Mei Shengke and Gou Dan are taller than Deng Yin. Otherwise, Deng Yin would want to have two women on either side of him.

It's so tiring to wear this...

Mei Shengke knew she was helping him protect himself from the hail, and he couldn't help but feel very excited.

What is this? It looks like internal energy leaving the body, creating an invisible protective circle around it.

Upon seeing Mei Shengke's face, the soldier who had spoken earlier quickly called for everyone to open the city gate.

Before leaving, Mei Shengke only said that he had important business to attend to, without specifying what it was.

Firstly, there's no need to say anything; ensuring everyone is well-fed is simply her responsibility.

Secondly, she didn't want everyone to worry.

Deng Yin could tell that Mei Shengke had a high reputation in the army. When she steered the boat into the city, many people greeted her with smiles.

This place doesn't resemble a military camp, and the relationship between superiors and subordinates isn't very clear-cut.

It's somewhat like being with a friend or family member.

Deng Yin was neither familiar with nor understood this matter.

This is normal; on Heze Star, there are only natural disasters, not human disasters. Naturally, she doesn't understand the kind of feelings between soldiers.

A relationship that can go through life and death together is the most reliable in the world.

......

Deng Yin's ship certainly attracted a lot of attention, but the soldiers guarding the city were very disciplined, glancing at it a few times before continuing to look ahead.

This group changes every day, and they can receive twice the food of others when they eat.

Even so, they still couldn't get enough to eat.

Looking from afar, Deng Yin noticed that everyone looked very thin.

I don't know if the armor was made too big or if these people lost weight, but they all look a size bigger.

Deng Yin had seen a lot of the world, but he was still shocked when he saw the building in front of him.

It's not because it's tall; this building only has five floors, which is less than the lowest floor on Heci Star.

The lowest building on Heze Star has 63 floors.

Rather than resembling a building, it's more like a row of stacked building blocks.

It was very long, with hundreds of rooms on each floor; Deng Yin couldn't see the end of it at a glance.

It's obvious that, like the house she built, it's all pieced together from various sources.

Above your window might not be another window, but a wall without windows.

There are no rules; what you put in this place depends entirely on what you have.

The only good thing is that the width is the same from top to bottom, so that the house won't collapse.

Deng Yin didn't know what to do, so she asked Mei Shengke, "Where are we going?"

Mei Shengke pointed to the leftmost room on the fourth floor and said, "That's my room. We can climb up from the fourth-floor window."

Gou Dan gets excited whenever this is mentioned.

He carries that hook with him wherever he goes now.

Before he could speak, Mei Shengke said, "I know light-footed kung fu, I can jump up there directly. Do you need me to help you?"

That's just a polite way of saying it. With Deng Yin's great skills, how could he not know how to use light-body kung fu?

Even flying is not impossible for him.

"Great!" Deng Yin's eyes widened. Stories always talked about light-footed skills, but she had never seen them before and always thought they were made up. She never expected them to actually exist.

How could I possibly miss out on this?!

Deng Yin clung to Mei Shengke's neck to prevent them from falling.

Suddenly losing Deng Yin's protective wall of rain, Gou Dan was hit by a hailstorm.

It hurts so much...

But his heart ached even more!

They all came together, those two are so disloyal!

Mei Shengke was surprised by Deng Yin's words, but she didn't show it. She put her arm around Deng Yin's waist, moved her feet, and the next moment the two of them appeared at the window on the fourth floor.

Dog Egg seemed oblivious to the pain, throwing the hook in his hand with a blank expression.

Even without martial arts skills, he can still climb up to the fourth floor!

Mei Shengke and Deng Yin were standing near the window. If they were to throw the hook at them, it would likely hit one of them. After all, Gou Dan had a lot of strength, but his accuracy was average.

Gou Dan spotted the window next door, swung it forcefully, and hooked the hook in his hand onto the window. He pulled the rope tight and climbed up using his own arm strength.

As soon as I entered, I was surrounded by several people.

"who!"

Some used knives, others used wooden sticks, and held them to Gou Dan's neck, as if they would kill him if he dared to move.

Gou Dan moved too fast; before Mei Shengke could even warn him, he was already inside.

Mei Shengke quickly called out from the window, "Wait!"

She pushed open the door next door and said to the person inside, "This is my honored guest. Hurry up and put down what you're carrying."

As soon as Mei Shengke returned, someone went to report to Wei Wujiang. He immediately went upstairs, almost running all the way.

Before they even saw Mei Shengke, they ran into Deng Yinxian, who had come out with Mei Shengke to rescue Gou Dan.

Wei Wujiang: "..."

Compared to Wei Wujiang's helplessness, Deng Yin seemed much more at ease.

She nodded slightly to Wei Wujiang as a greeting, and then followed Mei Shengke inside.
