187: Smart Cheng Xiao

As the engine's roar gradually intensified, the fighter jet slowly took off, gradually turned, ascended to about 500 meters, and then leveled out for flight.

Pan Han and Cheng Xiao waved goodbye to the people at Dawn Base through the windows.

Among the thousands of people in the base's formation, a huge banner was unfurled: Commander Will Win!

At this moment, the two of them couldn't help but have tears welling up in their eyes, like two children leaving home, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Mo Li saw how emotional they were and didn't want to interrupt, so he turned and went into the cockpit to discuss the flight path with the pilot.

The other soldiers of the Twelve Palaces sat upright, stern and unsmiling!

Pan Han and Cheng Xiao were both experiencing a fighter jet of the apocalypse for the first time, so they were naturally a bit curious.

Especially Pan Han, after the flight stabilized, he began to survey the interior of the plane.

Inside the cabin, there were two neat rows of seats with tall, enveloping backrests; to accommodate high-intensity combat, the seats were made of a special synthetic material that effectively absorbed vibrations and increased comfort.

Next to each seat was the latest safety equipment, including a life monitor, seat belt, and emergency ejection device.

Looking forward from the passenger cabin, the cockpit could be vaguely seen, but because the view was obstructed, only two large screens were visible.

At this point, Mo Li turned around and came out; seeing that their moods had calmed, he approached them.

"The entire flight will take a total of two hours."

"How far is that?" Pan Han asked.

"Over ten thousand kilometers, I suppose."

"That's incredibly fast!"

"This isn't even a fighter jet, otherwise it would be even faster."

"Not bad, not bad, truly a good thing." Pan Han couldn't help but exclaim as he heard this, reaching out to stroke the cabin wall.

Cheng Xiao appeared even more excited than Pan Han, clearly unable to sit still; she had already unbuckled her seat belt and stood up to look around.

She touched things while smacking her lips.

Mr. Mo saw her reaction and let her touch freely, smiling at Pan Han.

"Lord Pan, your lady here seems to really like fighter jets."

"Let her look, she gets excited whenever she sees weapons. I'm used to it." Pan Han said with a wry smile.

All equipment for Dawn Base, as soon as it arrived, Cheng Xiao would definitely be the first to try it out.

She also liked to wear tight clothing, and her curvaceous figure paired with various firearms often made Pan Han's blood surge.

Men are strange creatures; when they see a beautiful woman paired with various machinery, they can't help but take a few extra glances.

"Mr. Mo!" Cheng Xiao exclaimed, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Oh? What is it, Miss Cheng Xiao?"

"Is flying a plane easy to learn?"

Both Pan Han and Mo Li were slightly surprised, not expecting her to directly ask about flying a plane.

"It's a bit harder to learn than shooting one down." Mo Li stroked his chin and replied.

"Can I learn?" Cheng Xiao stared intently at Mo Li, afraid he would say no.

"Hahaha! Miss Cheng Xiao, you truly are a heroine among women. Of course, you can!" To be honest, Mo Li really liked Cheng Xiao's personality.

"I want to learn, I want to learn!" Hearing that she could, Cheng Xiao bounced over to Mo Li like a little girl, grabbing his arm and shaking it back and forth.

Pan Han stood by, dumbfounded!

What's going on? Is flying a plane that attractive?

This contrast came too quickly! How did she seem like a different person as soon as she got on the plane!

"Hahaha! You can learn if you want, but you have to ask your Lord Pan if he'll let you. After all, being a pilot is quite risky."

"Hmph! If he doesn't let me learn to fly a plane, I won't help him shoot them down!" Cheng Xiao put her hands on her hips, pouted, and turned into a little schoolgirl.

This time, Mo Li, and even the other soldiers of the Twelve Palaces, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The cabin was filled with joyous air!

As soon as she said that, Pan Han's face instantly turned as red as a large apple; he covered his face with his hands and quickly said: "Learn! Learn! Who dares not let you learn!"

Hahaha!

Seeing him like that, even Cheng Xiao couldn't help but laugh, and everyone else laughed heartily again.

"Alright then, when we reach headquarters, I'll find someone to ask. You're not one of the Twelve Palaces, so learning might require a separate application process." Mo Li said after laughing, still agreeing to Cheng Xiao first.

Cheng Xiao heard this, quickly ran to Pan Han, and patted him: "Did you hear that? There's a process. I don't care what method you use, what gifts you give, I'm going to learn no matter what."

This!

What kind of logic is this?

Pan Han looked at Cheng Xiao, his eyes going black!

It's not that I won't let you learn, it's that they have a process, how am I supposed to handle their process? A thousand alpacas galloped through Pan Han's mind.

"Hiss!!!! Ouch!" Pan Han was in the middle of his mental stampede when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.

It turned out Cheng Xiao was pinching his ribs hard.

"Alright, alright. I'll ask again." Pan Han was truly defeated by her, this little woman!

Hmph! Just wait until we get to the Twelve Palaces, then I'll show you!

"Mr. Mo, quickly save me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even make it to the Trial ground."

Looking at Pan Han's pleading expression, Mo Li smiled and shook his head; he was helpless too.

Who could refuse a beautiful woman who loves flying planes?

"Alright, alright, I'll ask now. I have an old classmate in the air force." Mo Li pulled out his communicator and went aside to make the call.

Pan Han saw that Mo Li had temporarily agreed and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What's wrong with you? You started causing trouble as soon as we got on. It looks so bad for others to see. It makes us seem impolite." Pan Han quietly asked Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao pursed her lips and gave him a sidelong glance.

"You now have the chance to evolve into an Intermediate Evolver, and I can't fall behind either."

"I wouldn't dislike you, honestly."

"Whether you dislike me or not is your business! My learning to fly a plane is my business."

"Alright, alright, alright. You learn, no matter how many gifts it takes, I'll let you learn." Pan Han's head was buzzing now.

How come as soon as life got a little better, women started making trouble!

It seems that even in the apocalypse, women are still women!

The two spoke in very low voices, but the cabin was only so big, and the soldiers of the Twelve Palaces heard everything clearly.

It's just that they had each received heavy gifts before, so now no one would be idle enough to report it.

Women in the apocalypse are still women, and human relations in the apocalypse are still human relations!

The two continued to whisper, and then Mo Li put down his communicator and walked over.

"Miss Cheng Xiao, I've communicated with them, it's not a big problem. It's just..." Mo Li hesitated slightly as the words reached his lips.

"Mr. Mo, just what?" Cheng Xiao was very nervous.

"My old classmate there can indeed help. However, he said that the Air Force values both substance and appearance. Even when giving gifts, there must be a proper reason."

"What's a proper reason?" He understood the 'substance' part, which meant giving gifts, but how should he find the 'appearance'?

"We need to give Miss Cheng Xiao a plausible identity."

"How so?"

"Either she's one of the Twelve Palaces, or she has some connection to someone in the Twelve Palaces. That way, giving gifts will be smoother."

"Mo Dage, I'm your long-lost cousin!" Cheng Xiao exclaimed, suddenly enlightened, pulling Mo Li and calling him older brother.

"Uh? Hahaha!" Mo Li burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Cheng Xiao was too clever; Pan Han's mind hadn't even caught up, and she had already made her move.

"Alright, alright, I'll acknowledge you as my younger sister. Lord Pan, what do you think?" Mo Li was left speechless by Cheng Xiao; he had to acknowledge this younger sister.

"Good, of course I have no objection!" What a joke, Mo Li is an Intermediate Evolver of the Twelve Palaces; how could Pan Han object to acknowledging him as his older brother.

"Alright, then Cheng Xiao and I will address each other as siblings from now on. When we reach headquarters, I'll introduce you to my old classmate. Then, we'll pick a few of the gifts you gave me to send over, and the matter is sure to succeed."

"Alright, no problem! But it's really embarrassing to make Mr. Mo go to such expense! After the Trial, I'll give you another big one to make up for it." Pan Han scratched his head, feeling very embarrassed seeing Mo Li help so much.

"Hey! No need to be polite. Miss Cheng Xiao has a straightforward personality, and we get along very well. I'm also very happy to acknowledge her as my younger sister. Consider these gifts as me giving them on behalf of my own sister." Mo Li waved his hand, indicating there was no need.

"Thank you, Big Brother!" Cheng Xiao seemed exceptionally happy, continuously calling him Big Brother.

"You're welcome, good younger sister!"

Isn't this just the story of a streamer and her Big Brother?

Pan Han said no problem out loud, but inwardly he began to grumble.

Why did the atmosphere suddenly start to feel wrong?
