Chapter 15 Choose One Yourself (Seeking Investment, Seeking Followers)

"Ugh~"

With the sound of flowing water, Lin Su pulled a paper towel from the airport restroom entrance, wiped his mouth, and his face was as pale as if he had just been greatly frightened.

After leaving the restroom, he numbly returned to his seat in the waiting area and looked toward the short-haired woman standing in the corner on the phone, his eyes filled with deep caution.

He would never ride in this woman's car again in his life!

That speed, one would think she was flying a plane if they didn't know any better.

Recalling the recent encounter in the car, Lin Su's face turned even paler as he felt the urge to vomit again.

"Damn."

Qin Nan hung up the phone, her expression slightly gloomier, but when she approached Lin Su and saw his ashen face, thinking of the scene of him screaming in the passenger seat, a smile crept onto her face, "No worries. Want some hard candies?"

Lin Su was silent for a moment, "Hard candies?"

"Nothing, just an old joke from before the catastrophe." Qin Nan's expression slowly turned serious, "There's been a problem."

"Hm?" Lin Su looked up puzzled, slightly taken aback by Qin Nan's serious expression. "What happened?"

"My trip to Zone 32 seems to have been exposed," Qin Nan's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent. "How wonderful."

"Travel exposure?" Lin Su blinked, "Exposed then exposed. What's the big deal, are you sneaking out from the lab, and might get dragged back? That can't be, right?"

"The lab wouldn't capture me," Qin Nan shook her head. "But some people might, after all, I…"

After glancing at Lin Su, Qin Nan didn't continue, she looked around and lowered her voice, "Long story short, the transport aircraft we are boarding may very likely be attacked."

Lin Su: "???"

Is this some kind of joke?

Then Qin Nan's still serious expression made him realize that it might be true.

Taking in a sharp breath, Lin Su looked around at the crowd, his expression also gradually changing, he whispered in inquiry, "What if we don't take this one, and switch to another last minute?"

"If they haven't noticed, we might be able to leave safely," Qin Nan looked at Lin Su, "but the other people on this transport aircraft would still be attacked. I just checked, and among the passengers, the strongest is a Beast Tamer who has recently been promoted to master level."

Lin Su blinked and looked towards Qin Nan.

Qin Nan had once summoned Mushroom Baby in front of him, although Mushroom Baby was a commander level, yet Qin Nan's Beast Taming Space tier was sixth.

The person in front of him whom he had just met, seemed to be a hall-level Beast Tamer with a monarch-tier pet beast.

"Nan, can you guess the strength of the opponent?"

Qin Nan raised an eyebrow, her eyes showing a rare bit of arrogance, "Weaker than me."

"Phew~" Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief.

You should have said so sooner.

"Then we'll just fly on this one."

"Even though they're weaker than me, it's still not without risks. You sure you don't want to switch?" Qin Nan smiled, "They are aiming for me, they probably won't pay much attention to you, a newbie, but if you come with me, they might take you out as well."

Lin Su: "…"

Though it's the truth, that's quite harsh.

"No need," Lin Su shook his head without hesitation, "I trust Nan."

Hall-level Beast Tamer + Level 1 Researcher, such a strong leg must be clung to.

"Ah, you little rascal," Qin Nan messed up Lin Su's hair with her hand, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen to you."

In the waiting room, the boarding announcement rang out.

"Let's go, board the aircraft, leave the rest to me."

"Got it!" Lin Su nodded heavily, following closely behind Qin Nan towards the boarding gate.

...

"Is this your first time on a transport aircraft?" Watching Lin Su constantly peering closely out the window, earnestly watching clouds whisking by, Qin Nan propped her chin and smiled.

"Yes." Lin Su nodded his head.

The attack Qin Nan mentioned never came. It had been over half an hour since the aircraft took off, and Lin Su had gradually relaxed from his initial caution.

Perhaps Qin Nan's information was wrong?

This was his first time on a transport aircraft; these aircraft, which combined scientific and beastly resources, had a stable energy protection system that could perfectly withstand attacks from commander-level beasts. They were an important means of transport from one safe zone to another.

In general, the areas between safe zones where beasts are active, the highest level of beasts were usually at the commander level, with monarch-level and above beings mostly residing in the Immortal Country established by immortal-tier beasts, rarely appearing alone.

After boarding the transport aircraft, everything Lin Su saw seemed like the opening of a new world's door; fortunately, his temperament was relatively steady, and he didn't shout out loud, but looking around was inevitable.

"At the institute, you'll have many opportunities to take the transport aircraft for exchanges," Qin Nan smiled, her gaze quietly watching outside the window while showing a hint of caution.

Seeing this, Lin Su couldn't help but ask, "Nan, earlier you mentioned that someone might attack the transport aircraft, but now that we've left the jurisdiction of Zone 32 and no attack has come, are we safe?"

"No." Qin Nan's pupils constricted slightly, her eyes narrowing, and a hint of murderous intent flashed across her finely arched eyebrows. "They're here, outside the aircraft."
