into the sheath

Before taking off, Tang Heng noticed that the display screen protruding from the side of the seat indicated the time required for the flight.

An hour and 47 minutes.

A line of small characters was added in red font at the back, delineating the time range of the delay, or five time periods pushed back in a stepwise manner.

Seeing this, Tang Heng asked casually: "What will happen if the scheduled time is exceeded?"

"The transport will circle over the destination until the next approved time slot before being allowed to re-enter. If there is a serious delay, it will be forced to return."

"Oh."

Tang Heng responded meaninglessly, and flipped the screen left and right for a while, and after jotting down some incomprehensible noun data, he pushed it back to its original position.

There are round-trip flights between the main cities. In addition, some waterways are also allowed to be used by civilians after approval, so Tang Heng is not very curious about the itinerary itself.

Not long after, the sun visor at the porthole of the transport plane was automatically lowered, and the inside of the plane suddenly fell into darkness. Then, the lighting dimly lit up, and the brightness was quickly adjusted to an appropriate level.Reminded by this change in light, Tang Heng blinked, and then withdrew from Jiang Feng's gaze that had been inadvertently for a long time.

He glanced aside, thankful that the guide didn't notice his dumbfounded behavior just now.

He began to look around again.

There are not many furnishings in the cabin of this small transport aircraft, and the designer's ingenious design makes it appear a bit empty. At this time, the passages leading to the front and rear cabins are temporarily closed due to flight, which is equivalent to isolating a space. Closed private space.

After watching for a long time, I feel boring.Tang Heng turned his gaze back and looked at Jiang Feng again.

"In the past when you went to Target City, did anyone else follow you?" Tang Heng said, "I mean, except for those followers who guarded your safety."

Jiang Feng's finger touching the screen paused, and then replied: "No."

"Oh."

Tang Heng stopped talking.He calmed down to catch the breathing sound of the two in the quiet cabin.

He didn't know why he asked that question.

……

The delay did not appear.

One hour and 47 minutes later, almost exactly, the transport plane landed on the ground. At the same time, the sunshade of the porthole was raised again, and the sunlight instantly filled the entire cabin.

Tang Heng stood up from his seat.This time he was sober, and he didn't feel tired from sitting for a long time.

He and Jiang Feng got out of the transport plane together.

As soon as he walked out of the cabin door, Tang Heng smelled a dusty smell, not strong, but not so weak that it could be ignored.Tang Heng's footsteps paused for a moment, and then continued to follow Jiang Feng.

The feeling here is the same as that in the main city—in order to make it easier to distinguish, Tang Heng began to try to accept these terms—even the opposite of when he was in the transit station.

The area they are in at this time should still be a place similar to a transfer station, and the transport planes taking off and landing in sequence can be seen nearby, but compared with the layout of the departure place, the arrangement of buildings seems much tighter.The vehicles used for connection were omitted, and there were many more people walking on the ground. From time to time, giant trucks carrying supplies slowly passed by and drove into the entrance under the wall-like building not far away.

"The target city is behind that." Jiang Feng explained to Tang Heng in a low voice.

Hearing this, Tang Heng was taken aback.He tried to look behind the intersecting building, but he could only vaguely see the roofs of some tall buildings.

There were special people waiting for him when he landed, and when he saw Jiang Feng coming out, he came up to meet him.

"Hi, Chief Jiang, I'm the person in charge of the transfer station here. My name is Ji Yun. I was fortunate to have stayed in Area C for a while before." The man said.

Area C is one of the core areas that He Mu is in charge of, so it is self-declared.

Tang Heng remembered the name "He Mu", which was also mentioned by Jiang Feng and Li Qing when explaining the matter before.With a thought in his mind, before he could ask a question, he heard Jiang Feng say: "He Mu is now the person in charge of this target city."

Jiang Feng's words caused the man named Ji Yun to be taken aback, and then looked at Tang Heng.

Tang Heng looked back without hesitation.

These two gazes collided straightly, which actually made Ji Yun feel threatened.

"Cough." Ji Yun coughed dryly, and immediately looked away.He suppressed the quantum beast he was clamoring to appear, faced Jiang Feng again, and asked, "Sir, do you think you should enter the city now, or..."

Jiang Feng understood the reason why Ji Yun hesitated to speak at this time.

According to regulations, recruits who arrive at the target city will have an adaptation period ranging from three days to one month. They will be assigned to perform some light cleaning tasks, and the location will often be as close to the defense line of the target city as possible to help them adapt to the environment of the target city as soon as possible. changes, and the existence of Zerg.

Jiang Feng glanced at Tang Heng, "No hurry. Help me find a reception room first, I have something to deal with."

Ji Yun didn't follow along, just nodded, and quickly agreed.

The reception room Ji Yun was looking for was located in the building that looked like a city wall. On the way, Tang Heng noticed the sign and realized that this building was equivalent to the office building of the transfer station.

The guards and Ji Yun who were quietly added to the six people were left outside the reception room, and Jiang Feng only led Tang Heng in.

When the door of the reception room was closed and only Tang Heng and Jiang Feng were left in the room, Tang Heng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He felt that his nerves had been tense since he got off the transport plane, but this pressure did not come from the excessively noisy environment, but from something else.Tang Heng still couldn't explain it clearly at this time, and could only roughly attribute it to the rigid behavior style of these people.

This reception room is not big, but the decoration is quite exquisite. There are all kinds of green plants and paintings, and there is still a faint fragrance in the air.It can be seen that Ji Yun has paid special attention to this instruction of "Jiang Zhang".

Jiang Feng raised his eyes and looked around for a while, the expression on his face didn't change much, but in the next second, he brought Tang Heng straight into the sentry's mental picture.
