The people below kept whispering among themselves.
"No wonder he's the Executive. As soon as he opens his mouth, he's just like an old leader!"
"This speaking level would be at least director level in other worlds."
"So what exactly did he say? Can someone summarize it?"
"I seem to have listened, but also seem not to have listened."
March 7th and Dan Heng stood below, almost dozing off.
"Damn, what the hell is he saying? Is this some code language from another world?" March 7th put her hands on her hips, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"This kind of language is very common in many places." Dan Heng said calmly, "As long as it's spoken ambiguously, you don't have to bear any responsibility, and instead it makes people feel profound and unfathomable."
"…"
On the podium, Zeig put down the microphone and bowed:
"Everyone, I'll stop here with my words."
"He finally finished speaking!"
"I took notes. It's so hard to understand!"
"As expected of Lord Executive, his speech is really skilled."
Although many people were somewhat hesitant, when Zeig put down the microphone and walked down, the whole venue still erupted in enthusiastic applause.
"Clap clap clap clap—!!"
This commotion woke up those who had fallen asleep while standing, and they joined in clapping along.
"Bang bang bang bang—!!"
"?"
A burst of intense clanging metal sounds attracted everyone's attention.
They turned their heads and saw a tall iron giant also clapping, with a white-haired loli without shoes standing beneath him.
"Who is that…?"
"You've seen too little. You've never been to the Underworld since it was unsealed, right? You don't even recognize Svarog!"
"I know the loli below. Her name is Clara, right? She's the Superman from Krypton!"
"?"
…
Svarog and Clara slowly walked forward. The surrounding citizens consciously made way for them.
"Brother Zeig, are you leaving?" Clara came in front of Zeig and said reluctantly.
"Yes."
Zeig put his hands in his pockets, standing together with March 7th and Dan Heng. He looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice:
"Our journey is the sea of stars!"
"Is that so… I still wanted to ask if Brother Zeig has any interest in digging up ancient relics."
"All journeys will eventually return to the starting point!"
Slap—
March 7th slapped Zeig's elbow and said speechlessly:
"Have some ambition. At your age, how can you stagnate?"
Dan Heng also said in a deep voice to Bronya, Clara, Svarog, and Pela in front of the three:
"Actually, there's no need to retain us like this. We can come back anytime."
"I know. We were just being polite." Pela rolled her eyes.
"…"
…
In a hidden mountain cave, Zeig walked in together with March 7th.
The aircraft was quietly lying inside.
"You're really good at finding places to park. You could even drive into such a small cave. Old driver!" Zeig gave a thumbs up.
The cave wasn't wide. For March 7th to manage driving the aircraft in here was indeed quite skilled.
"Oh, you mean this… There was no cave here originally, but after crashing into it many times, a cave appeared."
"?"
March 7th led Zeig to the front of the aircraft. The latter was stunned.
The windshield in front of the aircraft was smashed to pieces, with many snow-covered branches stuck inside. The cockpit couldn't even seat anyone.
"I have a small question."
"Go ahead."
"How exactly did you not get impaled to death by the branches at the time?"
Zeig jumped onto the aircraft, pointed at the branch stuck into the seat toward March 7th, and asked curiously:
"Look, it's even stuck into the chair. If you were sitting in this position controlling it, wouldn't you get scraped a few times?"
"Oh, I was driving with my feet at the time."
"?"
"That tree fork happened to be stuck right between my legs."
"?"
March 7th casually took out the key from her pocket and skillfully pressed it toward the aircraft.
"Beep beep—!!"
The aircraft's lights flashed. After sensing the driver, the entire cockpit lit up.
It was activated.
"Okay, you drive it out."
Saying that, March 7th tossed the key to Zeig.
"?"
After catching the key, Zeig pointed at himself with some incomprehension and said incredulously:
"You want me to drive this? Out from this kind of cave?"
"Yeah, is there a problem?"
"Look, have I ever driven this thing? How long have I been in this world? Flip through the previous two hundred-plus chapters — have I driven an aircraft? I don't even have a driver's license!"
"Tsk, useless thing."
"…"
March 7th climbed onto the aircraft's cockpit disdainfully, pulled out that tree fork, and casually threw it out.
She said lazily:
"In that case, just open a door and teleport this aircraft to the space station. Wouldn't that be done?"
Zeig widened his eyes:
"This thing is so big! My beacons are all in places like the toilet. Are you sure doing it this way won't get me beaten to death by Aunt Himeko?"
"Tch, useless thing." March 7th muttered again.
"…"
"This was rented on loan under your name. If you don't return it, the rental fees under your account will keep deducting."
"So why didn't you do the loan under your own name?"
"I'm afraid I can't pay it back."
"Then I can pay it back?"
"Hehe."
Hehe?
Zeig painfully covered his face with his hand and lamented:
"Truly a fucking beast… Why did you even come here? Coming is one thing, but you can't even park the aircraft properly!"
"Wasn't I worried about you? Look, after knowing you came here alone, I rushed over anxiously to help you."
"6."
"Tsk, even Heavenly Father can be driven, but an aircraft doesn't work?" March 7th questioned.
"That was custom-made. The operating system is different! If you can't drive the aircraft well, couldn't you have parked it in a better spot?"
"I originally wanted to park it on this hill."
"So why did you smash a hole and get stuck in it?"
"I already said I was driving with my feet."
"…"
While the two were arguing, a violent roaring sound came from outside.
Dan Heng drove the aircraft to above the hill where the two were and shouted through the loudspeaker:
"Zeig, March, are you ready?"
"…"
No response came for a long time.
Dan Heng thought left and right and felt it was inappropriate.
So he planned to park the aircraft on the hill and then go into the cave to check the situation.
Dan Heng maneuvered the aircraft and steadily parked it above the hill.
Then turned off the engine.
Jumped out of the cockpit.
Jumped down the hill.
Entered the cave.
Raised his gun to flick away an incoming ice cone.
Advanced.
Waved his gun to cut several vines entangling his ankles.
Continued advancing.
"…"
Dan Heng silently looked ahead at the two who were arguing on top of the aircraft and called out:
"What's wrong with you two? Did you encounter something?"
"?"
The two each put down their ice bow and white riding spear, frowned at Dan Heng and said:
"You drove the aircraft out?"
"Uh, yeah… I parked it on the Eternal Winter Ridge, beat back some rift creatures, and successfully drove it away. What's wrong?"
"Then can you drive this thing out?" Zeig pointed at the half-wrecked aircraft with Abyss Flower.
"…"
Dan Heng glanced over there and fell into deep thought.
Countless ice cones were stuck on it, along with large sections of vines wrapped around.
The ice cones and vines connected together, filling the entire cave.
