Chapter 1914: Yutong in White Stockings, Maid Outfit

“Got it.”

Zhu Xiao heard their chatting and realized they were about to take off, so he quickly found a place to sit down and buckled his seatbelt.

“Skinny, your seatbelt!” Zhu Xiao scolded Skinny.

“What’s up?”

“You buckled the seatbelt wrong!”

Skinny looked down and found that he had fastened his seatbelt over Zhu Xiao’s. Quickly, he re-fastened it correctly.

Only then did Zhu Xiao finish buckling his seatbelt.

In the front, the co-pilot Hua Chen turned his head towards Zhu Xiao and the others and said:

“Are you all ready? We’re about to take off.”

Zhu Xiao and the others quickly responded, “Ready.”

“Good.”

Hua Chen nodded at He Ma.

He Ma understood, seeing Li Tie and the others had already taken to the sky, he also took off with the helicopter.

Whirring—

Huge air currents stirred up dust from the ground.

Making it hard to see anything.

Ju Tianrui, wearing a helmet, wasn’t blinded by the dust, but he silently made a decision.

In the next couple of days, he plans to redo this helipad with concrete to prevent dust storms every time.

Once the helicopter took off, it flew eastward.

Dapao and Li Tie had visited Southern Paradise once before, so they knew the general direction.

“Xiao Jun, I remember you went with us last time, right?” Li Tie said to Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun nodded, “Yeah, last time I went with the Combat Battalion leader. I remember we stayed in some ruins for a while.”

Dapao looked at Xiao Jun’s serious demeanor and cheekily said:

“Jun, I’ll wait for you.”

“Eek!” Lao Yi suddenly got goosebumps.

Li Tie glanced at Dapao and said speechlessly, “Dapao, what are you doing?”

Dapao teased, “Yesterday, Xiao Jun’s farewell scene with Ma Yingxue was truly moving. Isn’t that right, Jun~~”

Xiao Jun glared at him.

Damn, Dong Tai this blabbermouth.

Everything he knows becomes common knowledge at the base.

Just one night later, and Dapao and the others had heard about it.

Dapao kept talking without stopping, he continued:

“Jun, do you miss me?”

“Jun, I really miss you.”

“Jun, you finally came.”

“Jun~~”

Even Lao Yi got goosebumps listening; he’s piloting the helicopter, and Dapao’s disgusting behavior seriously affected his concentration.

“Dapao, stop it now, I’m flying, don’t mess around, or we’ll fall!” Lao Yi quickly warned.

Li Tie found Dapao’s repeated “Jun” nauseating.

He also said, “Dapao, enough already. Don’t mess around, I’m still waiting for Song Min to call you: Cannon!”

Dapao looked embarrassed and quickly waved his hand:

“Tiezi, you’re so ruthless, we never did that, you’re making things up and falsely accusing me.”

Xiao Jun, who had been silent, now smiled at the corners of his mouth.

With a deep tone, he addressed Dapao: “Cannon~~”

The helicopter suddenly shook.

Scaring everyone into silence.

A few seconds later, it returned to normal, and Lao Yi said pensively:

“I’m getting old, can’t keep up with you young folks, I’m not that good at embracing new things, don’t do this again, my heart can’t take it….”

“Cough cough.” Li Tie coughed a bit.

Turned around and sternly said to the two, “You two, be serious, we’re on a plane, not joking around.”

Dapao and Xiao Jun realized the seriousness and dared not joke around anymore.

After a while.

Li Tie suddenly said:

“Xiao Jun, did Ma Yingxue say she would take you to visit their Southern Paradise?”

Xiao Jun nodded, “Yeah, though I’m not sure if she can do that.”

Li Tie’s eyes flickered and he chose not to speak further.

Some things are best touched upon briefly, saying too much might backfire.

If Xiao Jun can visit Southern Paradise with Ma Yingxue, that’s a good thing as it helps them understand Southern Paradise better.

Whether Xiao Jun shares his findings afterward is up to him.

If he understands well, he surely will.

Xiao Jun needs to first understand that he’s part of Big Camphor Tree Base.

Jackals are his uncle, Xiao Yong is his cousin.

He is comrades with Ju Tianrui, Dong Tai, and many others.

The likelihood of betrayal is low.

Afterward, quietness resumed.

Li Tie continued, “Lao Yi, when we get there, don’t get off the helicopter, wait for us there. If there’s any issue, contact Zhu Xiao and fly away immediately.”

“Fly away immediately? That’s impossible! No way!” Lao Yi responded.

Li Tie insisted, “Listen to me, if they have any intentions to hold us, they absolutely won’t dare harm us. The helicopter is crucial military equipment, it’s unacceptable for it to fall into their hands, especially if they might use it against us. This is extremely important, you must follow my orders.”

This was the first time Li Tie firmly exercised his authority as the leader.

Lao Yi grunted without replying.

“Lao Yi, did you hear me?” Li Tie said seriously.

Lao Yi took a good look at Li Tie for the first time.

His evaluation of Li Tie soared.

He truly has the charisma of a great leader.

Calm and composed even in the face of adversity.

He prepares for the worst-case scenario.

Much like the City Lord.

“Alright, I’ll follow orders.” Lao Yi replied.

Li Tie heard Lao Yi’s response and nodded with satisfaction.

Truth be told, he felt a little nervous himself.

Entering another power’s territory deeply.

Only the four of them.

Claiming not to be afraid would be lying, yet he must do it.

The older brother trusts him, so he must deliver.

If the older brother charges forward, he too must share some responsibility and load.

Li Tie looked at the land below, the yellow-green woods, and the dried-up lake.

With sunglasses on, he still felt the sun’s harshness.

His mind started considering what to say if he meets Southern Paradise’s Mr. Hu.

What kind of questions Mr. Hu might pose, and how he should respond.

Most important is maintaining Big Camphor Tree Base’s stance and attitude.

Neither overbearing nor underwhelming, with leadership presence.

The helicopter flew for about an hour and a half, finally seeing Southern Paradise.

“Zhu Xiao, you should split off here, find a place nearby to land, and remember not to roam, wait outside for our update!”

Li Tie saw Southern Paradise ahead and quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie to contact Zhu Xiao trailing behind.

“Okay, got it.” Zhu Xiao replied.
