As the sun rose, the cruise ship finally docked at the harbor of the Nolai Republic.
The support ship from the Research Institute unloaded the extraordinary items from the ship, and others were dispatched for transportation.
Survivors like He Ao, who had emerged alive from the ruins, were arranged to fly directly back to Central Earth on a private jet.
The ship docked at about seven in the morning, and the plane was set to take off at eleven, with roughly two hours needed to get from the harbor to the airport, so there wasn't much rest time for everyone.
He Ao placed the Adam model, Arbitration Scales, Puppet Crystal Ball, and Spacetime Beacon all into the Pirate Treasure Box.
The Magician's Top Hat he had brought from Xidu, as well as the remaining Corpse Flower Solution, and the most conspicuous of all, the bone sword, were carried on his person; if these items disappeared, he would need to explain why.
