Chapter 1658: The Unexpected

In her sleep, Vera felt a hand shaking her shoulder gently.

“Wake up, it's time to get up, we'll be disembarking in two hours... Wake up now and you'll regret it. ”

The eyes opened in confusion, Vera gently flanked her lower face and her scattered gaze fell out the window.

It was also at this moment that her pupils slightly shrunk and her lightly trembling eyelashes widened a shocking curve.

It's a flame-red planet.

The scattered dust outlines it, rolling in the wind, like a flame burning.

And beneath that bright lining, the space station suspended in orbit was so tiny, like the sand grains submerged in dust, dancing on the edge of that flame.

“Is this Mars? ”

Looking at the flame-red planet outside the starboard window, Vera couldn't help but open her eyes and unconsciously touch the side of the window.

“That's right, this is the frontier of our civilization… at least now,” Andrina's mouth held a smile, with a divine voice in her eyes, “is that so surprising? I think someone must have landed on Mars by mid-21st century ago. ”

After two weeks of sailing, the two have become silent friends.

Vera was curious about everything in the world, and her dream of becoming a novelist, Andrina, cherished the opportunity to interview dormants from the middle of the last century ago.

Especially this Miss Vera from the 1920s.

At that time, it was the idol in her mind, at the most active time in the world.

After hearing from Andrina, Vera explained softly.

“That's probably what happened after I fell asleep. ”

Before she went to sleep, she remembered that the most remarkable thing people had ever done was build a science station on the moon.

“So that's it," Andrina looked at her and continued, "you said you were looking for someone on Mars... who is that person? Relatives? Or a relative's descendant? ”

When she heard the question, Vera had a warm smile on her face and said softly.

“is a great man. ”

“It's a coincidence that the purpose of my trip is probably the same. Until now, Pan-Asian cooperation has refused to reveal the details of the privatization of hypervelocity technology. We journalists have had to go there ourselves." Cleared our voices, Andrina looked at Vera and continued with a smile. "There was just a war going on here. Order is still unstable. I'm not comfortable letting you wander around alone. Well, where do you want me to give you a ride? ”

Vera was embarrassed to say, "Is this... too much trouble? ”

Although it was a very tempting proposition, she was very concerned that it would disturb the work of her friends.

“How?” Andrina smiled and said, "We're friends, isn't it normal to help each other? Speaking of which, do you have an idea? Where is the person you are meeting... don't tell me you don't even know. ”

“How could it be,” Vera shook her head and said with a smile, "I know where he is, I just didn't tell him I was coming. ”

“Surprise, right? Haha, I get it," Looking at Vera with a shy face, Andrina squeezed her eyebrows toward her and continued, “Anyway, just know where he is. Trying to find someone in Tiangong City is like fishing for needles in the sea. Don't look at the size of the city. The density of the population is the highest in the solar system...”

While talking, the loudspeakers above the heads of the two of us play soft music.

The passengers in the cabin stood from their seats and began to leave the cabin of the carrier in sequence, guided by the crew's warm tips.

Because she had not adapted to walk in a gravity-free environment, Vera, who had just left her seat, was in a bit of a panic. Luckily, Andrina next to her, held her hand and did not make her look ugly because she was floating on the ceiling.

“Relax, think of yourself as a fish, and now you're in the ocean… Come with me, shuttles to and from the open usually don't wait too long, if we're full, we'll have to wait for the next flight. ”

Grabbing Vera's hand quickly crossed the hallway in the terminal hall, just as the two of them were about to get on the shuttle, suddenly attracted by the images outside the window.

It was an unimaginable starship, like a silver and white ruler, suspended in orbit around Mars.

Previously on the carrier, because of the angle, she didn't see this amazing spacecraft. And now, she finds herself more than just herself, and a lot of tourists from the planet look at him surprised.

“… what is that? ”

“You mean that?” Looking at Vera's gaze, Andrina stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "Oh, that thing, if I'm not mistaken, should be Noah's Ark... of course, now his name is Galaxy, since Master Lu bought it. ”

Noah's Ark?

Somehow, Vera, hearing the news, had a slightly more complicated expression on her face.

These include comfort, explanation and a hint of anticipation and regret.

Something strange looked at her, and Andrina didn't think too much.

After all, a person is a sentimental animal herself, and she happens to be at a sentimental age.

When the shuttle arrived on the ground and the two of them dragged their luggage out of the terminal, Andrina clearly felt the atmosphere of post-war reconstruction from the air.

The bullet holes remaining on the ground and the pit marks left by the explosion have not been completely erased, and some of the severely damaged buildings have been encircled with isolation bands.

Visitors are somewhat curious about the look on their faces, but locals have complex emotions on their faces.

Stopped a taxi, watched the driver hang up, drove the car into a suspended pipe, and Andrina asked the driver.

“How's the law and order here these days? ”

“Security is better, even better than before,” the driver said in a casual tone, "but you know, ma'am, Mars is not a peaceful place, okay or don't wander around... where are you going? ”

Andrina opened her mouth and spoke, and Vera, sitting next to her, immediately said.

“Star Sky Grand Hotel. ”

When she heard that, whether it was the driver or Andrina sitting next to Vera, she looked at her unexpectedly.

However, the driver did not say anything but left a “yes" and then returned his attention to the matter of driving.

In about half an hour, the car quickly reached its destination.

After getting out, the two of them stood in front of this magnificent hotel for a long time.

Gently refused to come to the door boy to help with the luggage, Andrina looked anxiously at Vera and whispered in a hurry.

“That friend of yours... lives in a place like this? ”

Vera looked at her somewhat strangely.

“Is there a problem? ”

“… nothing. ”

The starry Grand Hotel in the middle of Tiangong is arguably the most luxurious hotel in the city. The credit point to spend a day here is equivalent to her one-month bonus, which is just the most ordinary room.

Just when Andrina was thinking about what kind of person would live in a place like this.

Not far away came a sudden surprise.

“Vera?! ”

When they heard the sound, they turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.

And almost at the same time, Vera's eyes instantly widened, and the gemstone-like eyes swayed with an exciting mist of water.

Then she ran in that direction.

And Andrina, who was left behind, was foolish.

“… Lu, Ark? ”

She never thought that the great person in the little girl's mouth was actually him...
