Soon Jing Huang returned to the ship.
He landed sitting cross-legged on top of a bubble, slowly sinking with the bubble. That bubble was much smaller than the others, and contained only one man. This man was blond and had a familiar appearance. Luo Binhan recognized him at a glance as the airship officer who called himself Kaiore in the previous projection.
The bubble hit the deck and did not burst. Instead, it rolled as lightly as a hamster ball. Keore, who was locked inside, was also beaten around the ball.
Jing Huang jumped off the ball and stared straight at the sea. Yaleriga walked up to him and asked, "Captain, what should we do with these people?"
"Ah." Jing Huang said with unclear meaning.
"The boat is not suitable for so many people, but we can use buoyancy panels to hang them behind the boat."
Jing Huang didn't respond, so Yaleriga walked to the cabin alone. Luo Binhan noticed that Jing Huang's left arm was shaking. It was mild at first, but after a while it started to twitch violently like an epileptic patient.
He was shocked and wanted to get closer to help, but was pushed away by Jing Huang as if nothing had happened.
"It's a normal phenomenon." Jing Huang said, "It's a crappy mechanical arm. If you use more force, it will short-circuit. Don't worry about it. It will be fine later."
After speaking, he raised his left arm and hit the mast several times. As a result, the left arm shook even more severely, almost like an eel eager to escape from him, flailing around with no regard for joints. Luo Binhan even heard a crisp sound that seemed to be made when bones were broken.
"It's a small thing." Jing Huang said, holding down his flailing arm. His expression was indeed very calm, as calm as if he was impatient.
Luo Binhan decided to ignore the crazy jumping arm. He carefully walked around to Jing Huang's right hand side, and then asked, "What are you going to do with these people?"
"Tug it away," Jing Huang said, "find a suitable place to put it."
"Is there enough food on board?"
"I won't starve to death."
"Then can they still go back to their hometown?"
"I guess so."
Luo Binhan heard an obvious perfunctory tone from his tone, and couldn't help but wonder whether his words were true. But then again, they don't seem to have any obligation to take responsibility for these sudden refugees.
At this time, Keore, who was trapped in the bubble, came over. He seemed to have mastered the method of moving in the spherical cage, pushing the bubbles forward in an orderly manner.
He walked around from behind Jing Huang to the two of them and paid a complicated courtesy to them in the bubble.
"Thank you for your help, Stranger." He said, "We have no assessment of the situation here..."
Jing Huang's left arm suddenly shook violently, and the back of his hand hit the surface of the bubble. Luo Binhan watched helplessly as Keore flew out mid-sentence. He jumped all the way over the railing on the side of the ship and fell far into the sea of fire.
"Fuck," Luo Binhan said, "You have a fucking unicorn arm."
Jing Huang stretched out his right hand and pointed towards the sea. The bubble that contained Keore floated back to them.
"Take it," Jing Huang said.
The bubbles melted into the air like tissue paper soaked in water. The dizzy Keore finally stepped on the floor. At this time, Luo Binhan discovered that the previous image of the other person was exaggerated - the blond alien was actually about the same height as him. Their similarities far outweigh their differences. Even if Kaiore swaggers down the streets of Luo Binhan's hometown, no one will be surprised as long as he doesn't take off his clothes. This made Luo Binhan feel a little warm.
Kaiore, who had regained his freedom, was a little at a loss.
"Okay, okay," he muttered, "I'm back again...Anyway, what's going on? What should I do now? Our ship..."
"Your ship exploded. This is my ship." Jing Huang said, "You, stay where you are. Leave the phlogiston, I will dig a hole, and you get out."
Luo Binhan was conquered by his sudden brevity, so he reached out and poked his back: "What you say is quite poetic, isn't it? Was the word "dare" related to love invented to wipe your ass?"
"It's annoying." Jing Huang said dullly.
Keore didn't care about his master's attitude. He pleaded: "The Holy Kingdom thanks you for your generous assistance, my dear alien friend. I am full of fear and confusion about this sea area at the moment, but no matter what, please rescue the people who are in distress with me on the ship first. Among them, 863 are imperial soldiers who have shared life and death with me, 192 are the most outstanding scientists and technical experts of the Holy Kingdom, and 144 are innocent ordinary citizens. They all voluntarily came to this strange world to open up a new life. As a glorious Holy Kingdom Navy, I have the obligation to do everything possible to protect their safety."
"It's none of my business." Jing Huang said immediately.
Keore's expression was really indescribable. Fortunately, Yaleriga returned to the deck at this time. She held several surfboards in her hands and said to Jing Huang as if she hadn't seen Kaiore: "Captain, these are all our buoyancy boards."
Jing Huang said oh. So Ya Laili threw the surfboards off the bow of the boat and let them float on the surface of the rolling air waves in the sea of fire.
Keore looked like he was about to faint.
"Drift board!" he said excitedly, "What's the use of this! You might as well let them float in the bubble like that! I beg you to lend me some lifeboats, so that at least the civilians can be put on them!"
Jing Huang was silent for a while, then suddenly stepped back and hid himself behind Luo Binhan. Luo Binhan turned to look at him inexplicably.
"I hate this idiot." Jing Huang said gloomily, "Don't let him bother me."
Luo Binhan also had no experience in conducting diplomatic conversations with alien forces. Relying on his experience as a young owner of a hotel chain, he boldly comforted Keore: "Surfboards are quite fun, anyway, it's better than nothing, right?"
Yaleriga turned her head and glanced at him. That look made Luo Binhan feel quite offended. She then took out a remote control from somewhere and operated it with her hands covered with gold nail polish.
Luo Binhan didn't know what she was doing at first, but now he has the most versatile solution to all unknown things.
"What is she doing?" He immediately grabbed Momolo and asked.
Momolo's eyes wandered back and forth between him and Kaiore, and for some reason he answered happily: "Ms. Yalay is activating the buoyancy board."
The surfboard floating on the surface of the sea of fire literally began to flutter. They lined up and circled in an orderly manner like a flock of geese, and then spread evenly in six directions, forming a broad hexagonal plane on the surface of the flames of the sea of fire. After the surfboard stopped moving, Yaleriga put down the remote control in her hand. "Captain," she said, wrapping her upper body around Luo Binhan, "you can put it down now."
"Ah." Jing Huang said.
The bubbles floating on the sea began to gather. They rested in the center of the hexagon formed by the surfboards, and then melted away one by one. The people trapped inside screamed and fell - only half a meter, before they fell into the sea of fire, they were suspended in mid-air, as if being supported by a transparent board. When all the bubbles disappeared, everyone was held in the middle of the hexagon formed by the surfboards.
Luo Binhan stared at this scene for a few seconds, and then said to Keore with ease: "Don't be surprised, it's a small thing. High technology."
"It's high-tech." Jing Huang said, "This is magic."
Keore didn't listen at all. He looked down anxiously, his eyes darting back and forth among the dense crowd, as if searching for a certain target. Soon he was shouting with joy.
Standing beside the crowd was a young man with brown hair. He and Kaiore were wearing similar clothes, and he was also waving towards the bow of the ship.
"God," said Kyore, "thank you for our good fortune! Thank you for being safe, Ozis! I don't want to go back to your grandpa with your relics!"
The young men in the crowd laughed at him. This scene made Luo Binhan very emotional. He said to Jing Huang behind him: "Look at this person's feelings. Science is still supreme on the front foot, and I will thank God on the back. Although I am not very loyal to materialism, this friendship is worth it... eh ?”
When he turned around, Jing Huang had already slipped away behind him.
