After the couple broke the kiss, Amelia buried her head in Shi Lang’s broad chest. The boy chuckled and said, “Why are you so shy Amy? What will you do when I kiss you at our wedding?”
Amelia pinched his abdomen making him wince. The girl was also a five-star Terran. The celebration did not last long before Charlotte asked, “Shall we leave?”
Despite the reluctance, the people nodded and they came downstairs holding the luggage. Luna, Mila, and their respective husbands decided to not see off their child as it was considered a bad omen. Shi Lang hugged his mother and aunt and then fist-bumped with his father and uncle. They understood that men could be emotional but that was it. They did not need to make it all water works, otherwise, who will console the ladies.
Getting inside the vehicle, Charlotte let Shi Lang drive as she sat in the back with her daughter. After the mood calmed down, Shi Lang asked, “Ma’am, there is something I would like to discuss with you.”
Charlotte noticed the seriousness carried in his voice and asked, “What is it?”
She was a senior official and was good at reading her juniors, she could tell that the topic must be sensitive if the young man was asking for her permission to discuss it. Shi Lang kept his gaze locked on the road and said, “I found Zysha on Mythya. I brought her back.”
These words, shocked Charlotte while Amelia was just confused slightly. She did not expect her mother to have such an expression on her face. Shi Lang waited for her reaction patiently. He did not hastily react.
After a few seconds, Charlotte said, “What do you intend to do with her?” calmly.
Shi Lang smirked and said, “I would like her to go to the Neomons with me.”
This shocked the two people to another level. Charlotte asked, “Logic to back this request.”
“If the Neomons monitored us, they will be aware of everything that we speak or think about. Although we can avoid that by using codes and stuff, however, they will not be dumb to miss it for a long time. I want to develop some tech that could allow us to talk without talking. This will require me to study the brain activity of the tiger. Also, when she is over there, acting like a dumb cat, she can gather some intel.” said Shi Lang.
Charlotte leaned back in the seat and said, “You sure learned well.”
Shi Lang replied, “You taught me well.”
The car again descended in silence, and Charlotte nodded as she said, “Very well, take her with you but do not harm her.”
Shi Lang nodded and Amelia asked, “What was all this about?”
Charlotte and Shi Lang took time to slowly tell her about Zysha’s peculiarities. Amelia was surprised at first but then she gradually believed it as Shi Lang said that the universe was filled with things that they have never come across. Amidst the chatter, the vehicle arrived at the spaceport. The whole place was in lockdown.
Thankfully before leaving home Shi Lang and Amelia had changed into their uniforms and Charlotte was a face that every soldier had seen at least once. When they alighted the vehicle, Shi Lang spotted a few shadows with masks on their face. They nodded to him and he returned the gesture. He could tell from the patterns on the masks that the people from his team in the secret division were here on duty as well.
The event was an opportunity, for both, The Federal military and the dark elements. If someone decided to screw things up, it could really go south. Amidst strict security checks, the people made their way to the spaceship entrance. The rest of the team was already standing there with Zysha.
Shi Lang and Amelia said farewell to the General and came up to the team. Jenkins said, “Let’s get on and leave, the tension in the air is too much.”
Shi Lang nodded and after fulfilling some official formalities they all came inside the ship. After the computer finished a countdown, the spaceship flew and left the gravitational pull of the planet shortly after.
Inside the ship, Zysha complained, “How can you guys all tolerate such travel?”
Shi Lang did not reply and said, “Zysha, I will need to scan your head later, do not worry, I just want to check something.”
The tiger gazed at him and then nodded. As the ship flew, they were headed to the border of the federal territory. There, they will meet with the celestial convoy of the Neomons, and under the guidance of two military vessels, they will enter the new place. The same terms were stated for the Neomon guests.
Shi Lang did not mind and he began to check the nanobots that the federation has provided for him. In between the space jumps, the boy sat in front of a computer with his fingers crackling over the keyboard and programed the stock of nanobots.
The number of nanobots at his disposal was enough to cover each of them ten times. Yes, and it will still not make them look any different. Shi Lang had a plan on how to even sneak them inside the Neomon territory.
He also scanned Zysha’s head and found two things that were different from all the animals in the Terran database. He then conducted a few experiments to check the activity of these two spots and discovered that these two spots were acting like transmitters and receivers. However, he could not understand how the Terran brain was able to convert the waves emitted by the tiger.
He read some data on the Terran brain, thanks to the technological advancement the able scientists had discovered a lot of knowledge about the human brain. They had successfully discovered where conscious thoughts originated from. Taking the data and using some help from Rosa Blues, well she could compute a lot of things right.
So he used her ability to come up with a device that could act like a transmitter and a receiver for the team to talk without using their mouth. The final outcome looked like a bangle. Shi Lang distributed the device to the people and then he began to debug it.
The process was very quick. What was even more, the device was made from the nanobots he got so it will be easy to hide it. The bots were programmed with what Shi Lang called a chameleon code. This code enabled the bots to disperse on the surface of their skin, undetected, and later they will be able to gather back like a bracelet depending on the electric signals from the user’s body.
It took them three days to reach the border and in front of them stood an entire fleet. Shi Lang and the rest rushed to the control room when the alarms went off. Jenkins and Darcx took the controlling seat and Shi Lang sat down in the commanding position. Jenkins said, “We are being hailed. It is friendly.”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “Patch me up.”
Jenkins pressed a button on the panel and he raised his thumb to Shi Lang. In front of Shi Lang, a holoscreen appeared with the face of a middle-aged man. Shi Lang stood up and saluted the man, he said, “Major Shi Lang reporting, Sir.”
The man smiled and said, “At ease, Major. This is General Edwards, I would like to see you and your team off to the Neomons on behalf of the entire civilization. Godspeed.”
Shi Lang replied, “Thank you, sir.”
The transmission ended and the young man slumped in the chair. Jenkins chuckled without looking back, and asked, “How did it feel?”
Shi Lang replied, “Strainful. How do you deal with it at home?”
Jenkins said, “We do not meet much. Mom helps a lot.” as he chuckled.
The spaceship entered the blockade set by the fleet and came to a halt. Darcx said, “Captain, when will the Neomon fleet arrive?”
Rosa Blues replied, “They should be here shortly. We all are going there on an exchange, this makes us the ambassadors. None of you are allowed to speak until Major Lang or I allow you to. Understood?”
The four people replied, “Yes, Ma’am.”
They waited for half an hour when suddenly, Jenkins received a message that told them to be prepared. The Neomons arrived at the scene. Shi Lang and the rest of the people had never seen them before, they saw the hundreds of vessels coming out of the starry seas.
Shi Lang gulped and said, “I hope they are friendly with us.”
The rest of the people said, “Amen.”
The size and momentum carried by the spaceships were enough to make them realize that the opposite party was not easy. However, they were unaware, that the students in the opposite party vessel were having the same feeling.
