It's none of my business. I'm just a lunch box seller.

"Halfdan? It's you!"

The knight named Halfdan bowed and apologized to Dain. "It is a pleasure to see you again, my captain, Lord Dainsleb. But I am sorry that I failed to live up to your trust and failed to protect the people."

Dain clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

"No, Halfdan! For the past 500 years, you have performed your duties faithfully and spared no effort to protect the people of Kanreya. To this day, you are still my honor."

"Eh! Is that really the case?" The other former Kanreya court knights who had regained their human form all breathed a sigh of relief. "Since the captain has said so, we can finally rest assured."

"Ha, I was so scared, so scared! I thought the captain was going to scold us again!"

Halfdan looked at the hillbillies who had just regained their human form, then looked at the still young captain, and the other equally young palace guards who had just regained their human form.

"Captain, has Kanriya already..."

"No!" Dain answered firmly: "As long as you are here, and the people of Kanreya are here, Kanreya will not be destroyed."

After getting the answer, Halfdan could only force a smile and said, "So that's how it is. So please rest assured, Captain. We will do our best to continue to protect every citizen of Kanreya."

At the temporary airport on the 6th floor, the pilots who were conducting secret flight training naturally noticed a group of naked guys who suddenly appeared. So the airport immediately dispatched all the buses to rush to Boss Cheng.

Zhang Peng, who happened to be practicing aerial transformation in the air, also saw this group of Kanriya survivors, and saw a big, shining bald head in the crowd.

So Zhang Peng, who had been promoted, led his wingman and completed the switch of the VF-171's guardian form in the air, and landed the fighter steadily near Boss Cheng and his group.

"Don't be afraid." The boss pointed at the "iron giant" that had just landed and said, "They are all our own people. Don't be nervous. They are here..."

The boss was going to tell everyone that the "Iron Giant" was here to protect them. But before he could open his mouth, he saw Zhang Peng stepping on the halyard and slowly descending from the cabin to the ground, and Zhang Peng had an expression of "Gah" and "What's going on" on his face.

"As you can see, there are two of them... Why is there a foreigner? Forget it, they are probably just here to watch the fun."

However, the boss's explanation, which seemed redundant, was unexpectedly reassuring.

That's right, an off-road vehicle rushed to Boss Cheng's side before Zhang Peng and his foreign comrades. Then a 50-year-old officer wearing a flight jacket and sunglasses jumped out of the off-road vehicle.

After seeing Boss Cheng, the officer took the initiative to step forward, stood at attention and saluted, saying, "Hello, Marshal!"

The boss quickly pulled the officer's hand away from his eyebrows and whispered, "Brother Wang, can we be a little more low-key? There are so many people here. How can I, who is only a second-class sergeant major, feel embarrassed when you salute me like this?"

At the same time, Zhang Peng and Andre, who discovered that the deputy commander of the Joint Space Naval Aviation Force had arrived at the scene before them, suddenly felt as if their legs were filled with lead. It was not appropriate to move forward, and it was even more inappropriate to run away.

It was not until Deputy Commander Wang Wei shouted at the two men that the two men seemed to be freed from the spell and tremblingly ran to Wang Wei, the deputy commander and chief flight instructor.

"Coach Wang, we were wrong."

0312 Two Separations

Wang Wei, deputy commander of the Joint Space Naval Aviation Force, was an ace among aces more than 20 years ago. He was one of the first pilots of the domestically produced J-11, the first J-11 pilot to shoot down an enemy plane, and the first J-11 pilot to shoot down an enemy plane without using onboard weapons.

He is also the only pilot in the history of our army who could crash an enemy plane and still fly back to the airport in style.

Of course, it is not quite true to say that it was a “collision”. To be precise, Wang Wei replicated the Su-27 “air scalpel” maneuver in the Barents Sea that year, using the tail wing of the J-11 to cut open an engine cover of the EP-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft.

The improved Su27 was used to intercept the improved P-3 reconnaissance plane. The improved Su27 flew back to the airport smoothly, but the improved P-3 reconnaissance plane made an emergency landing again. You have to admit that this coincidence seems to have a certain inertia of fate, turning the incredible accident into a destined inevitability.

Although Wang Wei repeatedly claimed afterwards that it was Amei's EP-3 that took the initiative to stick to him, the video footage of EP-3 showed that...

It shows nothing. The footage was destroyed as soon as EP-3 was ripped apart due to spontaneous combustion of the equipment - at least that's what we claimed.

Then Wang Wei not only became a combat hero, but also an idol in the eyes of pilots all over the world. In modern society, there are not so many air battles to fight, so naturally there is no chance to get the title of Ace by shooting down enemy planes. So a tough guy like Wang Wei, who dared to drive a fighter jet to stab a reconnaissance plane and shoot down the opponent without any harm, was naturally highlighted.

This is exactly the biggest reason why Wang Wei was able to serve as the deputy commander and chief instructor of the Space Naval Aviation Force after the establishment of UEG and the boss's "donation" of space carriers and aircraft. After all, the air force elites selected from all over the world all admire this "surgeon" of the year.

But Wang Wei admires his boss more, because it was this bald man in front of him who saved mankind from taking at least 40 years of detours. More importantly, he not only saved mankind from taking detours, but also provided the most important guarantee for the survival of human civilization - resources!

Therefore, Wang Wei willingly saluted Boss Cheng.

"Brother Wang, please help arrange for these people to live in the resettlement center on the 5th floor for a while."

"From another world?" Instructor Wang asked.

"Not only are they from other worlds, but they are also cursed. It was only after they left that world that they were freed."

"Ah, now it really has become 'the world is so big that there are all kinds of things'. What I have seen and heard in the past six months has had a great impact on my materialistic worldview."

The boss said firmly: "The world is material after all, it just manifests itself in different forms. We must adhere to the materialistic worldview, otherwise we will be like those black guys who regard hot weapons as gifts from God and airplanes as gifts from God."

“So, no matter how poor you are, you can’t be poor in education!”

"It's a pity that the birth rate is almost dropping." Boss Cheng looked helpless.

Fortunately, the base's bus arrived in time, interrupting the dangerous topic that Boss Cheng had just started. The boss only sent them to the bus, and he did not go with the bus. Because such a thing did not require the boss to go with him, and the air force base just happened to use the Kanrui people as the training objects to practice the reception, guidance, and transportation procedures in advance.

Although they had practiced this exercise countless times, the subjects of this exercise were all strangers, which was just enough to simulate the problems or situations that might arise when the citizens of the Jin family were transferred.

As for Boss Cheng, he needed to go back to the underground base to get some clothes that were stuck in the warehouse because they had not been sent out, so that they could be distributed to the residents of Kanreya who had just returned to human society from the savage state.

As soon as the boss arrived at the school playground, he saw the travelers practicing driving the modified RV and little Paimon sitting in the child seat on the front passenger seat. Although the boss knew that installing a child seat on the front passenger seat violated traffic laws.

But the problem is that as a motorhome converted from a miniature anti-gravity truck, there is no second row in the cab. If Paimeng does not sit in a safety seat but chooses to sit directly in the passenger seat, the seat belt will pass directly over her little face.

Of course, she can also choose to sit in the living area of ​​the RV. But don't forget that little Paimon has always had a dream of driving a big car!

The Air Force Base and the hotel had already developed a tacit understanding. As soon as the boss moved the clothes out of the warehouse, the Air Force Base sent a driver. That's right, the base didn't send out trucks, they sent out truck drivers. The two unlucky guys who came to play the role of truck drivers were Zhang Peng and Andre, who were fined and grounded for illegal landing.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't landed blindly, I wouldn't have been grounded with you."

"Hey, you're a grown man, just grumble a few words to vent your anger. Is there any need to keep grumbling endlessly?" Zhang Peng said as he walked, "Besides, we are not put in solitary confinement. We are also tasked with helping the boss to move things. Just take a few days off after flying. It's not a big loss."

After that, Zhang Peng pointed at Paimeng who had just flown down from the child seat on the passenger seat, and said to Andre: "Let me tell you, when I first saw that little girl who could fly, she was flying and suddenly she hit the wall."

But Andre asked: "But what does the flying girl hitting the wall have to do with me being grounded because of you?"

Zhang Peng's attempt to change the subject failed. Paimeng heard what he had just said, so he was furious and kicked Zhang Peng in the back with a beautiful rider kick.

Zhang Peng staggered after being kicked and almost sprained his young waist.

Zhang Peng was going to give the little girl some Kale, but the boss kept staring at them with a smile. Zhang Peng couldn't tell whether the boss was watching the fun or warning him not to bully the "child".

Anyway, Zhang Peng was like a small fry who was bullied by the old hooligans. Apart from making a few "嘤嘤嘤" or "啾啾啾" sounds, he didn't dare to move.

So, Zhang Peng, who felt frustrated, and Andre, who felt confused, drove the small box truck used to transport clothes (the one that belonged to Qianhu, but it was idle after all the vehicles in the store were electrified) and left the boss's restaurant.

Little Paimon and the Traveler also came to say goodbye to Boss Cheng.

"Are we leaving now?" The boss pointed to the small RV prepared for them and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

The traveler nodded and finally said, "I can drive skillfully now."

"You also learned how to use the small electric motorcycle installed under the rear of the car?"

The traveler nodded again and replied, "I also learned that. Paimon really likes that little motorcycle."

"Boss, boss! Is that the same scooter that Wendy rode away with?"

"Yes." The boss told Paimeng, "It's the same model that those two men rode away on."

"You obviously have a small motorcycle like this, so why do you only keep one in the small garage?"

“Because no one in the store wants to ride this thing except me.”

The traveler who heard the boss's answer suddenly raised his head and looked up and down at the boss's big body. He really couldn't imagine how incredible it was to see a nearly two-meter-tall strong man squatting on a small electric motorcycle that was less than 1.3 meters long.

Lu Bu riding a dog is probably just like this!

As for why the Traveler was in a hurry to leave his boss, it was not only because he had seen his sister not long ago, but also because in the process of exploring the Layered Abyss, he realized that the Fatui and the Cult of the Abyss had already targeted the Kingdom of Xumi, located southwest of Liyue, for their next action.

"So you plan to visit Xumi Country?"

The traveler became mute again and nodded to the boss.

"Then take this!"

The boss also gave the traveler three positioning and transmission devices, and told him: "After arriving at Xumi, don't just focus on doing business. When you are bored or blocked from your mission, you might as well look for a suitable location to open the door. Since you have decided to go to Xumi, let's do business in Xumi as well. After all, I need some magical substances in Mora for the production of room-temperature superconducting materials. And in the next 3 years, our demand for Mora will only increase. So..."

"Don't worry, boss!" Little Paimeng flew over and patted the boss's head. "Paimeng still relies on your business to make a fortune. Paimeng wants to upgrade his account to a high-level VIP customer of Northland Bank. The current VIP can no longer meet Paimeng's demand for service quality!"

"Oh, then do you want gold?" Boss Cheng said to Paimeng, "If gold can upgrade your bank account, come to me and deposit a few dozen tons."

"Eh?"

The traveler and Paimon drove away in the RV. Before leaving, Boss Cheng stuffed a lot of supplies and emergency materials into their RV. Fortunately, the RV was also modified from the "Piaopiao", so the internal storage space was sufficient. The supplies loaded in the car were enough for them to survive for more than half a year in isolation.

Shortly after the Traveler and Paimon left, the Hilliard Ranger and the palace guards, who had returned to their human form, returned to Boss Cheng's hotel and prepared to say goodbye to the boss.

"Hey, you guys are leaving too?"

"Yes." Halfdan replied: "Although we have lifted the curse, but..."

"But what?" After finishing his work, the lazy member of the survey team A who stayed with Boss Cheng said to Halfdan: "Do you really think that the curse on you is gone? It hasn't been removed yet, you know?"

But Halfdan emphasized: "Even if we don't get rid of the root of the curse, we don't plan to give up the plan of returning to the surface of Teyvat. We want to bring more people from our homeland and help them get rid of the vicious curse as soon as possible."

"But you guys are going out together, are you planning to show off or are you seeking death?"

0313 Rebirth

"But are you going out together to show off or to seek death?" Survey team member A warned Halfdan and others: "The administrator of your world may turn a blind eye to our acts of aggression and interference in the internal affairs of this world, but this does not mean that He is really blind and allows you to do whatever you want on earth."

Team member B said: "You 30+ people rushed out together, are you prepared to be struck by lightning? In this situation, no matter what you do or what you do, you should keep a low profile. You 30+ people rushed out together, are you planning to protest against the world administrators, or are you planning to rebel against them?"

Team member C also suggested: "Fewer people should go out and sneak into the village. Don't shoot. It will be easier for others to pretend not to see you. Also, those of you not only have curses on you, but also other messes (referring to the pollution of the Abyss). Don't go out and cause trouble for others. Stay underground and in other worlds honestly, otherwise you will be punished by God if you go out."

Dainsreb also heard these words when he came back after settling the remnants of Kanria. So Dainsreb naturally asked the three members of the survey team, "Are the traces of abyssal pollution on them still very heavy?"

The three of them shook their heads and said that they couldn't judge whether the pollution on these people was serious or not.

Team member A took out a scanner and scanned Halfdan and the other guards, then told Dain, "The portable scanner shows the risk level is 2. The danger level is lower than a cold, so it seems safe for now."

"Level 2," Team member B assured Dain with a reassuring tone, and said, "That's for sure. The contamination on them doesn't have the potential to spread and infect people."

The boss muttered, "I finally know where the risk detection device in my store came from."

Team member C decisively admitted: "Yes, it is the system developed by our survey team. Isn't it very useful?"

Boss Cheng covered his face with his left hand and stretched out his index and middle fingers of his right hand, making a "V" shape.

Team member C saw this and said to his two companions: "Look, the deputy minister thinks it is useful."

The boss didn't refute anything, but just said lightly: "There were two times when I was almost killed by this thing."

The smiles on the faces of the three members of the survey team were frozen in an instant, and the smiles on their faces were replaced by the word "awkward" in capital letters the next second.

Fortunately, Dain was there, and fortunately, this guy didn't care whether the three members of the survey team were embarrassed or not. When he learned that the pollution of the abyss would not spread in the other world, he asked the question that had been lingering in his mind and troubled him for most of the day: "Why did the curse on them suddenly disappear after they came to the other world?"

When the three heard the question, they responded one after another as if they had grasped a life-saving straw:

"Because the relationship between universe and universe, and between world and world is not equal."

"They also distinguish between dimensions, levels, and sequences."

"The level and sequence of the universe you are in are half a level lower than here."

“It belongs to the three-dimensional sub-world stuck between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds.”

"Matter between dimensions can flow, but some rules and laws cannot flow."

"For example, this world has no magical rules and elements, and the laws of another world don't apply here."

"Besides, a universe one level larger can crush a world that is too large. Even if it is only half a level lower, the strange rules of the low-sequence world will hardly have a substantial impact on the high-sequence world."

"Unless it is a basic law that is universal to all worlds."

After getting the explanation, Dyne was a little confused. Although he could understand what the three people said, he could not fully understand it. But he was sure that the Teyvat curse, which was half a level lower than here, would not have any effect in this world half a level higher. This also made Dyne understand his "wear and tear" problem, why it stopped abruptly after stepping into this world.

After figuring this out, Dain asked again, "Then why can't the abyss pollution on them be completely dispelled?"

"Then what is this abyss pollution? It should exist in some material form, right?"

Dain nodded.

"But is this kind of substance not a substance in the complete physical sense?"

Dain nodded again and explained, "The essence of this substance should be considered a carrier of some kind of knowledge or information."

"The storage medium of the information?"

Dain was stunned for a moment, then nodded again.

"Oh, if that's the case, then it might be easy."

"Back up your memory, then format all of it."
