The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 350 Strategic Weapons
Jiang Ying came here under the pretext of her final treatment, but in reality, she was there as a representative of the country to deliver a message to Zhao Xiaochui.

The mess back home has been settled, compensation has been paid, and the troublemakers have been dealt with. As the only "one of her own" who can currently speak with Zhao Xiaochui, her task is to bring this big shot back to China as soon as possible.

There are some things Uncle Lao can't say or promise, and the fat receptionist is completely one of his own, so she won't show up. Therefore, after searching around, Jiang Ying, who is semi-official, became the most suitable candidate.

Zhao Xiaochui risked his life on that trip to South America, bringing back a container full of cash and jewelry. It looked impressive, but it was actually the least valuable thing! What truly made the higher-ups envious were the top-secret documents in the container, and the intelligence he snatched from Commissioner Smith's office! That stuff was priceless to the relevant departments!
To have performed such an extraordinary feat and still manage to escape unscathed from that region, the higher-ups clearly see his abilities!
Zhao Xiaochui had long been eager to return home. Now that all the troubles had been resolved, he simply and decisively sent a notice of store closure in the WhatsApp group that only had a few dozen top customers.

After sending the message, immediately muted it, ignoring the explosive inquiries and attempts to persuade him to stay.

Jiang Ying glanced at the names and information, and thought for a moment that she would be willing to pay a 'ticket' fee of tens of millions if she could join the group.

Zhao Xiaochui didn't forget the cash in his bag that he hadn't spent. After learning that Jiang Ying could help him deal with it, he tidied it up a bit, took out a nice wallet, put some cash in it, and then put it away.

Half an hour later, at the private tarmac of San Francisco International Airport.

The three boarded a Gulfstream G650ER, and the gangway slowly retracted.

The plane soared into the clouds, leaving the city of the Golden Gate completely behind.

Zhao Xiaochui's agreement to return to China was essentially an agreement to the arrangements that the relevant departments would make for him.

Eighteen hours later, the plane landed in Djibouti in the Horn of Africa.

Zhao Xiaochui was discreetly taken to China's only overseas logistics support base. Pan Xiaoli and Jiang Ying continued their journey back to China by plane.

Over the next two days, Zhao Xiaochui underwent a condensed version of crash course training for pilots. Several elite military instructors who had come from China specially instilled in him high-altitude emergency response, high-altitude parachuting, and other related skills with maximum efficiency.

As for piloting skills... he's going to fly drones.

Over the course of two days, Zhao Xiaochui, without waiting for any prompting from the casual officer, casually let the two sergeants "enter the door".

These elite soldiers, who could dedicate themselves to the military for over 24 years and achieve top-notch technical skills, were perfectly suited to the relaxed and slow-paced technical requirements, so Zhao Xiaochui didn't use much of his heat flow.

His secret weapon was not revealed. With the video of his fight with Old Man Lou, everyone realized the importance of the ancient metaphysical inheritance. With Old Man Lou already dead, Zhao Xiaochui was the long-lost inheritor.

Two days later, under the watchful eyes of all the officers and soldiers at the base, Zhao Xiaochui was taken to the open sea by a speedboat and boarded the behemoth that he secretly called "a large ship capable of taking off and landing airplanes".

On the deck, the atmosphere was solemn and respectful. Two rows of people in different uniforms stood in neat rows, including military officers and composed civilian leaders. They had come from all over the country specifically to participate in an award ceremony that would never be open to the public.

"salute--!"

With a deep command, everyone simultaneously gave Zhao Xiaochui a crisp military salute. Sunlight bathed their serious and respectful faces, and the sea breeze seemed to stand still for a moment.

An elderly man who looked like a leader stepped forward and solemnly pinned a unique, dark-colored badge without any markings to Zhao Xiaochui's chest.

He didn't read any award citation, but simply shook Zhao Xiaochui's hand firmly and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

There was no applause, no cheers, only a silent salute.

Zhao Xiaochui subconsciously straightened his back; he hadn't expected such treatment. His initial plan for this trip abroad was simply to make a deal with 'a certain company,' resolving domestic problems while also getting revenge for the fat receptionist. He never imagined it would end up like this, receiving such a weighty, silent recognition.

The following procedures became serious and highly technological:
Over two days, staff in white coats conducted a comprehensive medical examination on him, including a series of tests such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy tolerance testing, centrifuge overload tolerance screening, blood oxygen-carrying efficiency analysis, and metabolic extreme stress analysis. Finally, after all the data was compiled and evaluated, Zhao Xiaochui embarked on the final leg of his journey back to China.

A large, specially modified drone with a unique design is ready, featuring a small single-seat cockpit installed in its belly.

"Test item: Physiological tolerance during rapid ascents at ultra-high altitudes and long-distance marches," a technical officer announced succinctly. "We will collect your real-time physiological data under extreme hypoxia, low temperature, and high acceleration overload conditions."

Zhao Xiaochui didn't ask any questions and obediently climbed into the cockpit.

The drone was precisely launched into the air, and then with a powerful roar of its engine, it shot into the sky at an almost terrifying angle, quickly disappearing into the clouds and speeding towards China.

This top-secret experiment may never be declassified.

A few people who know the situation also hope that Zhao Xiaochui, this "strategic nuclear weapon," will never be precisely delivered.

2020年11月11日，上午10:00整。

The official account of the Chinese Air Force posted a dynamic video celebrating the founding day of the Air Force.

The video footage switches at a very fast pace, showcasing the various main combat aircraft currently in service with the Air Force.

Midway through the video, a fleeting shot of less than half a second flashes by, showing a futuristic, all-black flying-wing drone piercing the clouds at an almost vertical angle, soaring into the sky. Its unique aerodynamic shape is unlike any known model.

The scene quickly switched, and concise explanatory text appeared on the screen:

Too advanced to be convenient to demonstrate

…………

"Holy crap! What was that fleeting black shadow? A new stealth drone? That design is so futuristic!"

"'Too advanced to be shown'... These six words are more exciting than the PPT I stayed up all night to write!"

"I need high-resolution images! I need specifications! I need the model number! Military enthusiasts can't sleep!"

"Compared to the 'ghost' of a certain country... I can only say, rabbit, you've secretly evolved again, haven't you?"

The internet was abuzz with speculation and a sense of pride.

Chaoyang Street, Beijing.

A chilly early winter wind blew by, swirling up a few fallen leaves. The small shops lining the streets remained the same, as did the elderly folks taking their usual strolls; it seemed as if nothing had changed.

Zhao Xiaochui stood alone at the intersection of Jinchan North Road, staring in disbelief at the once crowded and dilapidated residential area that had now been transformed into a huge construction site!

His dormitory building is gone.
