Chapter 38 - We do not allow outsiders in

XG 38 - We do not allow outsiders in

The rest of the journey to the military base went smoothly without trouble. The helicopter was already prepared, full of fuel, and waiting for their arrival.

"There are some people who could not make it here in time? We are only informed to prepare one helicopter for Mrs. Wong's party and to immediately set off as they reach the base." The soldier checked the flight schedule list and gave them an indifferent look.

Suddenly feeling a threatening gaze, the soldier turned in that direction and expected something dangerous. But what he found was a young girl. Their gaze met and she gave him a polite smile, with none of the dangerous feelings he felt earlier. The young soldier thought that he must have been overworked that he would foolishly think a friendly girl would give him a hostile feeling. Even if she did, there was no way she could hide her emotions this quickly and neatly.

Wong Xue Guo really wanted to wait for her mother to arrive after hearing that, no matter what the soldier said. But the hard disk hidden in her backpack reminded her of her task, forcing her to contain her fury. Her phone vibrated, receiving a reply from her mother. Upon reading the message, she immediately felt cold.

As expected, her mother already knew she would not be going to Penang Island with air transportation. She either had to take a train or car, but both of them were exposed to great risk.

Plastering a modest smile, Wong Xue Guo nodded at Aurora before informing the soldier, "We shall leave now. Thank you for your help."

Surprisingly, the pilot will be Nana, who also had a license to pilot the helicopter. The army does not have enough men to spare being their pilot. In deciding so, the military was willing to sacrifice a helicopter for them.

But with a condition.

"A royal family happens to be going to the same destination as your group. To make things easier, it's best for both groups to head there in a single helicopter."

Since it was just sharing a ride, they did not refuse.

Surprisingly, the second prince of Negeri Sembilan state was traveling by himself without any guards. He looked like a college student with his casual clothes and backpack. He was modest without air or arrogance, willing to give them a friendly smile before taking a seat opposite Wong Xue Guo and Chen Yibo.

Wong Xue Guo returned her own version of a friendly smile but did not start a conversation with him even if she was curious about why he would go to Penang Island instead of Negeri Sembilan, his hometown. Was the rest of the royal family at Penang Island too?

Actually, she was also puzzled as to why her parents would decide Penang Island as their meeting point. Does that island have something?

With everything in their cars transferred into the helicopter, they could finally take off to the island.

There was no trouble during their plane ride, with her ears covered with headsets. It was quite peaceful as if she was going on an overseas trip. Even the birds flying below their altitude, which she squinted her eyes to identify, looked normal with no sign of being a zombified version.

Do animals turn into zombies? If they could, humans will have fewer options when it comes to hunting food. It will also pose more danger to humans. It was another question she needed to jot down to ask her mother.

Lulled by the motor sound, she gradually grew sleepy. But with a stranger seated facing her, she was not comfortable in doing so. She regretted not taking a nap in the car earlier, but she was too tense to relax. She could already feel her brain was processing much slower now.
