Chapter 337: On the Journey (2)
They all stayed in the helicopter for nearly the entire day.
When it was lunch time, Kyle opted for the simplest method: Kate feed him while he still continued to control the helicopter.
"You should have asked for a copilot to come," Jake grumbled when he saw Kate opened up a lunch box.
If there was a copilot, they could switch their work with each other.
"It’s fine." Kate had turned into a human being. There was no way she could possibly feed Kyle when she was in her cat’s form. There didn’t seem to be any precedent for a cat to feed a human?
Well, perhaps there might be some.
She was not so diligent in searching the social media for such possibility in the past.
"Open your mouth."
Kyle opened his mouth and Kate put the spoon into Kyle’s mouth carefully, making sure that the food truly entered his mouth before she pulled the spoon back.
Being fed by Kate, Kyle’s eyes were very bright.
It was clear that he was very happy.
Jake really felt miserable and turned to look at Lotte beside him, showing a longing look. "Lotte, can you also feed me some food?"
"Don’t you have your own hand?" Lotte looked at her husband speechlessly. She was fine with him acting childishly occasionally, but this place was clearly not the best option for him to throw his temper like this.
She also didn’t have the intention to feed him right now.
"…But I want you to feed me."
"No."
"There are no one here!"
"Do you not treat me as a human being?" Kyle asked speechlessly before he opened his mouth for the next bite of his food.
Jake rolled his eyes. "No."
"Meow~." <The two of you are of the same species. If he’s not human, does it mean you’re also not human being?> Kate meowed with her human form.
Lotte heard Kate’s words and understood because she’s a half and laughed immediately.
"What did she say?" Jake gritted his teeth.
It was cheating how these three knew a language that he couldn’t understand at all. The translation device for these halves were not completely done yet and Jake would feel more confused when he heard those broken language.
In the end, he opted out of the experiment.
But the other result was that he still couldn’t understand when they began to talk with other language.
"You better not hear it." Lotte patted Jake. "Also, don’t try to outsmart the other member in the Black Group. You’re definitely not their match."
Jake: "…" a brutal but true statement.
If there was an IQ test for them, he was sure that he was still the lowest.
At least for now.
"Maybe my children will have lower IQ?"
Lotte: "…" she sincerely prayed that when she has children, their IQ would follow her instead of Jake. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
It would be very worrying.
But also wants to have children with her husband….
Lotte fell into dilemma.
Time passed quietly as they chatted about some boring matters or just take a nap. Only Kyle was dutifully maintained the speed of the helicopter as fast as possible to the East.
"We’re about to enter City CA’s territory. I have asked Professor Bale’s permission to stay for the night before we departed tomorrow." Kyle glanced at the road in front of him. The city in front of him was already within sight.
"So fast?" Kate was stunned. If she was not wrong, they should have taken almost a week’s time if they took the land road, right?
At least, this was the information she obtained through the national meeting that occurred.
"This is military helicopter that’s specially equipped so it’s a bit faster," Kyle explained while looking for the landing location. To be exact, it had also adopted some of the special things that the research facility developed recently. But because he was part of the research team, he was not allowed to divulge it.
It was still partially under experiment and couldn’t be mass produced.
There were only a few that were successful with the material and engine so far. Kyle was granted access to borrow two of them for this special mission because everyone wished they could go faster.
"Also, the main reason why it takes a long time for car’s journey is because there are a lot of giant mutated animals needed to be settled and the road is not exactly straight."
If the road is straight line, the time would be cut in a half.
Unfortunately, the road was somewhat circular because of the special terrains that made it difficult for car to pass normally.
Kate blinked her eyes. "I don’t know much about machine and so on."
Kyle smiled faintly. "I’ll teach you later."
"That’s a promise!"
Jake listened to these two and silently pushed back the thoughts of studying to the very bottom of his brain. He had been tortured for so many years because of the compulsory study and didn’t have the intention to repeat something like that ever again in his life.
For him, it was a miracle for him to be able to graduate.
It would be better for him to just do what he was good at.
"Prepare for landing."
"Yes."
…
On their back, there was another helicopter following Kyle’s route. There were two pilots there, who will take turns to drive the helicopter.
The two pilots had known that the helicopter was much faster than normal ones because of the additional engine and so on that was added. But they still felt a bit amazed when they controlled the helicopter.
"We’re about to land in City CA, please pay attention."
"Ah? We’ve traveled so far?" Marc was stunned. As a science student, he knew that this distance was absolutely impossible to travel in just 12… 15 hours.
Did the military had already researched new engine?
Damn, he was being left behind.
Thinking of his hospitalization due to this own stupidity, Marc silently promised himself not to take other mission outside and just stay obediently in City E.
