Chapter 1658 Unexpected Person
In her sleep, Vera felt a hand gently shaking her shoulder.
"Wake up, it's time to get up, we will disembark in two hours... If you don't get up now, you will definitely regret it then."
Opening her eyes in a daze, Vera slightly turned her face to the side, and her loose eyes fell outside the window.
It was also at this moment that her pupils shrank slightly, and her trembling eyelashes opened a shocking arc.
It was a fiery red planet.
The diffuse dust outlines its outline, and it rolls under the drive of the wind, like a burning flame.
And against that light, the space station floating on the orbit is so small, just like the sand submerged in the dust, dancing on the edge of the flame.
"Here... is Mars?"
Looking at the fiery red planet outside the porthole, Vera couldn't help but widen her eyes, and unconsciously touched the window with her hands.
"That's right, this is the frontier of our civilization... at least for now," Anderina said with a smile on her lips, and said with fascination in her eyes, "Are you so surprised? I remember the time in the middle of the 21st century. , someone should have landed on Mars."
After these two weeks of sailing, the two have become friends who talk about everything.
Vera is full of curiosity about everything in this world, and Andelina, who dreams of becoming a novelist, also cherishes this opportunity to interview the dormant people from the middle of the last century.
Especially this Miss Vera from the 2020s.
At that time, it happened to be the most active time for her idol in this world.
After hearing Andrina's words, Vera explained softly.
"That's probably what happened after I hibernate."
Before she fell asleep, she vaguely remembered that the most amazing thing people have done was to build a scientific research station on the moon.
"I see." Andrina rubbed her chin thoughtfully, looked at her and continued to ask, "Speaking of which, you said that you came to Mars to find someone... Who is that person? A relative? Or a descendant of a relative?"
Hearing this question, Vera had a warm smile on her face, and said softly.
"A great man."
"That's really a coincidence. The purpose of my trip is probably the same. Up to now, the Pan-Asian cooperation has refused to disclose the details of the civilian application of FTL technology. We journalists have to go there by ourselves," Qing Qing Throat, Anderina looked at Vera and continued with a smile, "A war broke out here just now, and the order is still unstable. I don't feel relieved if you run around outside alone. How about it, you want to go I'll give you a ride there."
Vera said with some embarrassment, "Will this... be too troublesome?"
Although this is a very tempting proposal, she is very worried that it will disturb her friend's work.
"How?" Anderina said with a smile, "We are friends, isn't it normal to help each other? Speaking of which, do you have an idea? Where is the person you are going to meet... Don't tell me you don't know Know."
"How is it possible," Vera shook her head and said with a smile, "I know where he is, but I didn't tell him I was coming."
"Surprise, right? Haha, I understand," Anderina frowned at the shy Vera and continued, "Anyway, as long as you know where he is. I want to be there Looking for someone in Tiangong City is like looking for a needle in a haystack, despite the small size of this city, the population density is the highest in the solar system..."
While they were talking, the speakers above their heads played soft music.
Under the guidance of the flight attendant's warm reminder, the guests in the cabin stood up from their seats and began to leave the cabin of the transport ship in order.
Vera, who had just left her seat, was flustered because she hadn't adapted to walking in a weightless environment. Fortunately, Andrina next to her held her hand so that she wouldn't make a fool of herself by floating to the ceiling.
"Relax, imagine yourself as a fish, and now you are in the sea... Come with me, the shuttle to and from the open space usually doesn't take long, if it's full we'll have to wait for the next one. "
He took Vera's hand and quickly walked through the corridor of the waiting hall. Just as the two were about to stand on the shuttle, Wei Wei was suddenly attracted by the picture outside the window.
It was an unimaginably huge starship, like a silver-white ruler, suspended in orbit around Mars.
When she was on the transport ship before, she didn't see this surprising spacecraft because of the angle. But now, she found that not only herself, but many tourists from the earth cast surprised eyes on him.
"……what is that?"
"You mean that?" Following Vera's gaze, Andrina was slightly stunned, then said with a smile, "Oh, that thing, if I guessed right, it should be Noah's Ark... Of course, now he is called Yinhe, since Academician Lu bought it."
Noah's Ark?
For some reason, Vera, who heard the news, had a slightly complicated expression on her face.
There is gratification, relief, and a little bit of expectation and regret.
She gave her a strange look, and Andelina didn't think too much about it.
After all, people themselves are sentimental animals, and she happened to be at a sentimental age.
After taking the shuttle to the ground, when the two of them dragged their luggage and stepped out of the terminal, Anderina clearly felt the atmosphere of post-war reconstruction in the air.
The bullet holes left on the ground and the crater marks left by the explosion have not been completely erased, and some seriously damaged buildings are surrounded by isolation belts.
The expressions in the eyes of the tourists are more or less curious, but the faces of the locals are full of complex emotions.
After stopping a taxi, watching the driver shift into gear and drive the car into the suspended pipeline, Anderina asked the driver.
"How's the law and order here recently?"
"The law and order are all good, even better than before," the driver said in a casual tone, "but you know, ma'am, Mars is not a peaceful place, it's better not to wander around... Where are you going?"
Andrina opened her mouth and was able to speak, and Vera who was sitting next to her immediately spoke.
"Starry Sky Hotel."
Hearing these words, both the driver and Anderina, who was sitting next to Vera, all looked at her unexpectedly.
However, the driver didn't say anything, he just said "Okay" and then turned his attention back to driving.
In about half an hour, the car quickly arrived at the destination.
After getting off the car, the two stood in front of this magnificent hotel for a long time.
Euphemistically rejecting the doorman who came to help with the luggage, Anderina glanced at Vera with some unease, and asked in a hurried tone.
"That friend of yours... lives in this kind of place?"
Vera gave her a strange look.
"Any questions?"
"……nothing."
The Starry Sky Hotel, located in the center of Tiangong City, can be said to be the most luxurious hotel in the city. The credits needed to live here for one day are equivalent to her one-month bonus, and this is just the most common room.
Just when Anderina was thinking about what kind of person would live in this kind of place.
Not far away, there was a surprised voice suddenly.
"Vera?!"
Hearing the voice, the two turned around together and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Almost at the same time, Vera's eyes widened instantly, and a mist of excitement swayed in the jewel-like pupils.
Then, she flew in that direction.
As for Anderina, who was left in place, she was dumbfounded.
"...Lu, Lu Zhou?"
She never thought that the great person that little girl said was actually him...
