Perfect Timing

"I was actually bounced back by a fart! I wonder if the Life-Creating Pill can eliminate the side effects of taking the Gourd Pill!"

Zhang Xuezhou spent two days watching the excitement in Chang'an City, then traveled by carriage for eight or nine days, and finally, with a heavy heart, played archery to curry favor with the new emperor.

He seemed to have pleased the new emperor, but he didn't seem to have succeeded in doing so completely.

In short, after accepting the reward from the Marquis of Pingyang, he went to his room to recuperate until he returned to reality.

"His Majesty is in charge here. Marquis Pingyang cannot overstep his authority to control the court. With my cousin looking after me, I should be fine!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered that Yangxin City was not Chang'an City. Although it was the territory of the Marquis of Pingyang, the new emperor and Princess Yangxin were undoubtedly in charge. It was unlikely that he would end up like that, suddenly engaging in medical research and getting stabbed.

"Imperial Medical Hall Etiquette? Empress Dowager?"

Recalling the muttered words of the Grand Historian Sima Tan when he entered the room to observe and investigate, Zhang Xuezhou was momentarily unsure whether the two were connected to the Life-Creating Pill or to the Purple-Gold Gourd.

"Woke up?"

Many things flashed through his mind, but Ren Anran's voice brought him back to his senses quickly.

Whatever happened to him in that other world, or what he's going through, he needs to let go and return to reality.

If the itinerary is correct, he should go kill the poisonous insects with steel needles and fine hairs after resting and adjusting.

Zhang Xuezhou's eyelids twitched slightly, but his eyes were already focused on the scene before him.

Why are we still at Shuangliu Airport?

Zhang Xuezhou rarely forgets a place he has visited even once.

Normally, given Ren Anran's privileges, the other party could take him and Zhang Manqian to Tutlam, the city of the Tur tribe, in just 24 hours.

However, Zhang Xuezhou had already spent twelve days in another world, and they were still staying at Shuangliu Airport, which was clearly a delay.

"The waterways to the Tuer region are blocked, so we can't get there by boat," Zhang Manqian replied.

"Turcalando may have made some arrangements, but her control is too weak. She hasn't sent any flying vehicles to pick us up yet," Ren Anran said with dissatisfaction.

She was clearly very dissatisfied with her nominal sister's slow and inefficient actions.

Normally, they should have provided the best possible treatment at this point, and then equipped the area with enough paladins and even enough firearms, so that they could go to the area where the strange insects were located after Zhang Xuezhou regained consciousness.

But they were stranded at Shuangliu Airport for a whole week.

If it weren't for Ren Yisheng's need for Soul Jade, Ren Anran would have already returned to China.

I always thought it was going to Qinmeng!

Then Wang Haoran added a resentful remark.

Wang Heran is in very good condition right now.

On the one hand, it was because Ren Yisheng had woken up. This experience of being resurrected had a profound impact on him and gave him a sense of security.

On the other hand, Wang Haoran inexplicably recovered during his previous trip to Qin Meng. Not only was his body healthy again, but the spider genes in his body were also extremely active, as if they were leaping with joy.

This is a sign of the Sixth Sequence.

Perhaps it's a blood serum, perhaps it's Gene Fighting Technique, perhaps it's a psychological issue, or perhaps it's a thrilling battle...

A variety of factors could drive Wang Haoran forward.

During this time, besides resting and recuperating, he also exchanged the benefits he had allocated during his trip to Qinmeng for a Thousand Spider Blood Potion.

Although the price paid for the transaction with Wang Yi'an was several times higher than the normal price, Wang Haoran felt it was worth it.

Success is up to fate, but at least the blood serum in his body is accumulating, and there's a slight chance it will trigger a transformation.

Once he enters the Sixth Sequence, his efforts will undoubtedly bring high returns.

After the blood serum was injected, the rest was up to other matters.

Wang Haoran hadn't expected to spend seven days walking around Shuangliu Airport.

Even a normal person would get impatient after waiting for ten minutes, let alone such a long wait; this kind of waiting was indeed quite agonizing for him.

"We'll be going to the Tuer tribe to do some fighting and killing, which is almost like fighting with ferocious beasts. We'll gain a lot," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"That's a bit beyond the scope of the curriculum!"

Wang Haoran willing to venture into Qinmeng, but he had no intention of fighting ferocious beasts.

He felt for a moment that he couldn't keep up with the drive of modern young people, but then he felt that this drive seemed a bit off.

Without Ren Yisheng as his team leader, he had no choice but to cooperate with the other party's children.

After adding a reluctant remark, Wang Haoran couldn't help but feel more anxious and began to consider how he should protect everyone and find possible opportunities to fight if they encountered a ferocious beast-level opponent.

"I'll contact Carando," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I sent her a message a few days ago, but the conversion speed and delays in our international communications are too great," Ren Anran complained. "Besides, the message I sent to her might have had special approval and reporting requirements, and it might be stuck in the hands of some department!"

"If we really can't get in touch with Kalando, then we'll have no choice but to go back to China!"

Zhang Xuezhou took out his communicator, which still had 50% battery left, but it was useless as he couldn't send or receive messages.

Once the Tours region blocks the waterways, there is no other way to enter this island nation unless they have private aircraft or swim across the sea.

Zhang Xuezhou typed away for a while. He had also contacted Turkalando before this trip and even calculated the message delay time.

But Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect it to be delayed to this extent.

After sending the message again, he leisurely ate the food that Zhang Manqian had bought at Shuangliu Airport.

Firstly, there was plenty of time, and secondly, the food wasn't black-boned chicken, so Zhang Xuezhou's taste was just average.

He was gnawing on a spicy and slippery fast-food chicken leg, barely managing to eat half of it, when he heard the voice of a pager coming over the loudspeaker outside the airport hotel.

"Is the loudspeaker calling me?"

Zhang Xuezhou listened to the announcement from the Thousand Islands Alliance searching for people, which included a strange transliteration of "Zhang Jiao's Curse."

"Someone is calling from the Shuangliu Airport reception!"

If the transliteration of Zhang Xuezhou's name was not yet entirely certain, it was very fluent when the name An Ran was mentioned in the broadcast.

This is the name that Turcolando gave Ren Anran. Although Ren Anran didn't like it, she didn't reject the title of "mother" in a biological sense.

The fact that two names were called in succession proves the accuracy of the search.

"It must be Kalando looking for us," Zhang Xuezhou said. "We can't contact her, and she can't contact us either!"

"You woke up at just the right time," Ren Anran laughed. "We've been listening here for seven days, and we've never heard the airport headquarters make any announcements about us being missing."

"That's rather unusual!"

Zhang Manqian nodded, agreeing with Ren Anran's statement.

"Perhaps it's not entirely unusual; Kalandor possesses a very interesting ability!"

Benefiting from the wilderness, Turkalando can not only completely integrate into ordinary people and directly influence them, but Turkalando and Turkalando also have the ability to gaze into the future.

Putting everything else aside, at least Turcalando appeared very precisely when Ren Yisheng faked his death, and even formally paid tribute to this biological father.

If Turkalando and the others had anticipated their arrival, it would fully explain why the other side acted in such a precarious manner.
