Chapter 467: Redhead
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Cars covered in red dust and yellow sand coursed through the desert, leaving behind traces that were erased by the wind-borne sand in just the blink of an eye. This formed a channel of loose and dirty steel torrents, flocking towards Noah World from Earth.
Amidst this torrent, Zhang Lisheng sat in the jeep, jolting up and down for more than half an hour. Sensing that the car was gradually slowing down, he looked out the window and realized that the traffic flow around him seemed to be getting more packed. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask, he could hear Charlie’s excited voice resounding. “Boss, we’ve already reached the ‘world passage’. We’ll soon enter Noah after going through a simple identity check by the Immigration Bureau!”
“An identity check by the Immigration Bureau?” Zhang Lisheng was stunned.
“Yes, because only those who have obtained US citizenship have the rights to enter Noah. For this reason, every world passage is in charge by the federal Immigration Services,” Charlie said with a smile. “Actually, it’s just a check on our passport. It’s more like a formality representing the sovereignty the US has over Noah.”
“Oh, I see.” Zhang Lisheng nodded in understanding before inadvertently turning his eyes to the outside of the car again. He saw an armed helicopter, which had a huge rotating propeller at the top, gradually landing from the sky, setting off billowing wind and sand. The instant the helicopter landed, a young man and a young woman wearing white hunting jackets immediately jumped out of it.
At the moment their feet touched the ground, their bodies were immediately enveloped by the scorching sun of almost 12pm in the wilderness. All of a sudden, milky white light suddenly burst out of nowhere, hovering in the air inconspicuously for a moment before landing on the ground without setting off any dust.
Other than Zhang Lisheng, nobody had noticed such a small movement at all, not even the young couple nor the two professional officers dressed in sleek military uniforms following them. After they leapt down from the helicopter, they followed the young couple into the gate of Noah World right away.
At the same time, Zhang Lisheng, who was in the car, suddenly had a baffled look on his face. A series of expressions ran across his face as he began to fall into a deep contemplation. At this time, a fat person with a round face suddenly appeared outside the window, knocking on the glass with his short and thick carrot-like fingers, gesturing for them to roll down their window.
“Sir, we’re one of the companies cooperating with the government’s Noah Project.” Charlie rolled down the window first and handed over a paper from his briefcase.
The solemn-looking immigration officer looked into the car briefly and took the paper. Without even asking for their passports, he directly gestured for them to pass through.
After seeing the large jeep in front of him start its engine again and course through the shallow sand lines on the ground entering Noah World, his expression suddenly changed. Filled with excitement, he laughed and shouted loudly, “I won guys! That was an off-road eight-seater vehicle made by a Jeep company imitating an armed personnel carrier. It belongs to the LS Group. Ok guys, i’ve won, pay up! Ten dollars each, c’mon now...”
Upon hearing the words of the fat federal immigration officer covered in dust, whose teeth were the only white things remaining on his body, his colleagues immediately put on an awkward expression. One of his colleagues, the eldest and the most burly one among them, coughed and cleared his throat, before pointing to the two officers, one tall and one short, standing with a blank expression not far away from them, and a young couple with long slender arms and fair skin, who looked as radiant as movie stars, with hair as red as dazzling flames. After pointing at them, the colleague quietly placed a finger on his mouth, motioning for him to stop talking.
The four people, who were being pointed at by the immigration officers, did not seem to notice the sneaky actions of the federal public officials not far away. They were carefully observing the entrance to the Noah World.
Just like what Charlie had said, in a situation where the US government was fully guiding its citizens to move to Noah World, the immigration bureau being in charge of the foreign world’s entry was completely a form of ‘sovereignty’. The world passage, that was more than 100 kilometers long, was only blocked by a long iron fence.
If you did not want to enter or exit the passage from the two ends and the middle official entrance, it would actually be very easy to crash the gate. As long as you are prepared to become a federal prisoner and have a good car, you could just step on the engine throttle as hard as possible.
The young red-haired man and woman looked at the careless management of the entrance of Noah World and their fair faces seemed to be gradually turning grave. The man, who was slightly tall, could no longer suppress the wrath in his heart and said, “Daphine, this place is too horrible. I can’t believe these Earthlings would just enter the world of another dimension without any protection blatantly just like that. They’re committing crimes, crimes against all life in the universe!”
“Calm down, Anlosa, the Earthlings are our allies. You can’t just blame our allies because of their ignorance.” The red-haired woman also wore a worried expression but her tone was much calmer than her companion. “We need their help and understanding, only then can we preserve the purity of the ‘universe’.”
“But we have already warned them about the terrible harm the different dimensional worlds can bring to them! I really can’t imagine that these people would isolate and disinfect the astronauts who fly out of the atmosphere of the planet, but would just drive a car that is not even equipped with a ‘life filter’ into the foreign world...”
“Stop complaining, Anlosa. The Earthlings can see your dissatisfaction. All we can do now is observe,” the red-haired woman interrupted her companion and whispered.
The instant her words left her mouth, two professional soldiers of the ranks of lieutenant colonel standing about 20 meters on the right of her took out a black brick-like encrypted mobile phone from his briefcase and took a call, before shouting loudly, “Miss Daphine, Mr. Anlosa, please come over.”
“Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Smoot.” The red-haired woman smiled at the lieutenant colonel and waved awkwardly before deliberately exhorting her companion again. “Those Earth soldiers are calling us. Turn on your translating device, Anlosa.”
Treading on the sand, she walked softly towards the two officers.
“Miss Daphine, I’ve just received an order from the Department of Defense to authorize you and your companion to set up your inspection measures at the entrance of Noah World’s passage, with the condition that no US citizen shall be harmed,” the lieutenant colonel ordered in a soft voice.
“I’m very happy that your government accepted our opinion,” Daphine’s eyes lit up right away, with ecstasy written on her face. “This is of great significance to the security of the entire ‘universe’. Thank you very much.”
“Well, there is nothing to thank us for, Madam. I’m living in the same ‘universe’ as you do.” Being imbued by the woman’s emotions, the lieutenant colonel’s hard expression softened a little. “After I communicate with the officers from the Immigration Services to pause the incoming and outgoing motorcade, you can start to set up your things. By the way, please don’t hesitate to let us know if you need any help in this regard.”
“Thank you for your kindness, but we have our ‘light stone’ here so we can cope with it.” The woman shook her head and smiled confidently, finally revealing the pride of being an intelligent creature from a higher civilization.
“Sure, please wait for a while then!” The lieutenant colonel nodded and strode to the immigration officers, who had also just received orders from their superiors. After exchanging a few words, the bunch of federal officials, who were actually idle, immediately went to stop the flow of slow traffic.
Seeing that the constant traffic of cars was slowly being stopped from afar, the red-haired couple walked up to the entrance of the long iron fence between Noah World and Earth and shared a look, before spreading their arms wide forward.
In an instant, a rich and milky white light radiated from their bodies, forming two huge wings, that were actually blazing flames, behind their backs.
At once, the originally noisy desert suddenly became completely silent, leaving behind nothing but clattering sounds. “Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!”
“A-Angels? Please don’t tell me they’re angels. Lord Christ, oh my Father who walks in Heaven...”
“Sh*t, this is incredible. Other than Transformers, the government has actually created angels in Area 51.”
Amidst the screams of the people, the two ‘light people’ slowly crossed their spread arms across their chests, making a gesture with their hands, swiping from the bottom up to the top.
At that instant, all of the brilliance on their bodies slowly gathered on the palm of the hands. It gradually condensed and burned, and finally, made a loud noise, before transforming into a few gemstones the shape and size of jujubes that were lustrous on the outside, with a flame flashing in the core.
When the round stones were formed, the brilliance on the red-haired couple disappeared right away. The two of them appeared to be very tired but when they looked at the gemstones in their hands, a happy look could be seen on their faces.
They shared another look together. Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of US citizens, they simultaneously threw the round stones into the sky. Like meteorites that produced high heat when it was rubbed against the air, when the few tiny stones were thrown into the air and began to fall downward rapidly, they suddenly burst into a dazzling light and heat, before suddenly settling in place in the sky more than ten meters away from the ground.
Looking up at the gemstones that were suspended in the air, radiating countless of brilliance like stars, the red-haired couples muttered under their breath incoherently, with their hands making all sorts of strange gestures gently in front of their chests.
As their gestures changed continuously, the brilliance radiated by the round stones seemed to be continuously molded by an invisible hand. Not long after, they became a thin layer of red curtain that shrouded the entire entrance of the iron fence.
After doing all of that, the red-haired couple breathed a long sigh of relief. Daphine staggered up to the lieutenant colonel, who was also the first person to snap out from the reality from the beautiful brilliance and said, “Sir, we have already set up the ‘light curtain’. Even though it’s simple and unsophisticated, it’s still better than having no protection at all.”
“Looks like you guys have indeed mastered an amazing technique, Miss Daphine. You look kinda pale, do you need a rest?” the federal officer asked, trying to control his bafflement.
“Thank you for your kindness, I just used up too much of my Spiritual Energy while activating the light stone. I’m still okay.” Daphine smiled weakly. “Is there any other entrance to the passage of this foreign world? If yes, please bring us there. We need to set up the light curtain as soon as possible.”
