Chapter 46
The winter airport
Sheilor narrowed his eyes to look at the snowflakes falling down from the sky, thought that these drifting profusely and disorderly ice crystals were really beautiful, this was the first time he saw the real snow, he seemed to forget the thin clothes on his body, and also didn’t pay attention to those traveling together passengers around him, they cast the sympathy eyes on him. Wearing the unlined dress, standing in the blizzard on the square, it looked really poor, all those passengers thought that Sheilor must put the thick clothes in the suitcase by mistake, they couldn’t help shaking their heads and said nothing, but sympathy to sympathy, no one brought too much clothes with, and no one would take off the clothes and put it on Sheilor.
The wintry Capital, the wind was also bigger and bigger, Sheilor felt like that he was cutting by several knives on the face, suddenly awaked from the snow scene in front of his eyes, felt the cold on his body, he shrank his body, turned the backpack over and held it in the arms, barely had some warm. He turned his body around, avoided the headwind, narrowed his eyes and looked at the far away entrance of the aviation airport, he felt somewhat strange why the air-land connection airship didn’t fly directly to those terminals, but stopped in the blizzard instead.
The Antique Bell still stayed in the space outside of the Capital Planet, the traveling by it West Forest officials and the return visit officials of the East Forest, would step on the journey again right away, at this time landing on the planet surface, basically were the officials having the official business. Sheilor didn’t have the experience, those traveling by the Antique Bell spacecraft passengers were all the top people, they discussed about the current odd situation.
“Just now the medical car of the army hospital has already gone, the ship was carrying the wounded? How come I didn’t hear about it? didn’t we come from the East Forest Region? What was happening?” A middle-aged official wrinkled his eyebrows and asked his companion.
Behind his back Sheilor heard the words, he narrowed his eyes further more, hid a bit to the back of the crowd unattractively, through the gaps between the crowd, watched several covered thick snow ambulances disappeared in the distant exit of the aviation airport, faintly thought of, the people on those cars must be the West Forest soldiers who once had caught him, those soldiers were affected by that strange light beam, had been healing their wounds in the Antique Bell spacecraft, it looked like that the Fourth Military Region didn’t dare to take the risk to let them to go back to the West Forest for the treatment, but sent them directly to the Capital where the medical treatment level was the most developed.
Thought of that wearing sunglasses colonel Lake was just right in the ambulance, thought of in these many days, he had been staying in the place not far from that colonel and those wounded mecha soldiers, Sheilor suddenly had the fear after the event in his heart, his face, that colonel Lake had already seen, if two of them really met in the ship, what should he do? In the severe-cold weather, Sheilor had the sweat all over his back, he knew that he was really not circumspect enough. Fortunately he might not have any relation with the people of West Forest that side any more, once he arrived on the capital planet, the fat captain and Mr. secretary shouldn’t find him easily, only Little Watermelon… Well, originally they were not the same level people, no longer seeing each other, perhaps it’s better.
In the process while Sheilor was thinking wildly, the battery shuttle of the aviation airport finally came to the front of many passengers, the thing welcoming the airport side of course would be the loud complaints and the threat of complaint. however the working staffs of the airport side just apologized with the excellent attitude, but wouldn’t explain what really happened earlier.
“The ambulance was saving lives, we can understand, but why that group of passengers could drive directly to the terminal? Why can they go to the front of us?”
The working staffs of the airport just smiled and comforted them a few words. Sheilor looked over the direction along the passengers’ hands, just saw a silver-white plane to stop slowly in front of the private terminal in the distance, he narrowed his eyes, seemed to see a holding doll little girl who was stepping down the airship in many people’s escort. The smile piled on Sheilor’s face, he said to himself in a low voice, “Little Watermelon, you need to have your meal nicely in the future.”

It’s warm like spring in the battery shuttle, the been complaining officials and passengers finally shut their mouth up, the long space travel had already let everyone feel some tired, it was silent inside the shuttle. This kind of silence had been held to the X-ray checking tunnel, and was broken after they walked inside the building of the aviation airport.
The crowd dispersed like the birds and animals, according to the coming up trip and the baggage shipping space, dispersed into several routes, and disappeared in the magnificent building space.
Obviously Sheilor was shocked by the interior structure and architectural style of the airport, he didn’t know what kind of finishing materials were those floating beautiful metal shine materials, he just felt that it’s beautiful subconsciously. This aviation airport was too big, the interior space had ten story building high, there were no girders to bear the weight in the middle, he also didn’t know how they built it up. He this life basically was living in that broken city of the West River state, where he had seen the scene such like this, even he passed by the airport when he went to the garrison command next by the Fudge state, but the military airport looked just like some ice-cold cement.
Flapped the snow off his body, put the backpack back to his back seriously, Sheilor was like a just went into the town bumpkin, no, he was a just went into the town bumpkin originally. He walked to the front of a flight attendant with some hesitation and shy, mustered up his courage and asked, and inquired about the relevant matters. That wearing sky-blue uniform flight attendant had the good looking face, very politely and patiently, answered his those fussy questions clearly.
Sheilor said thank you very sincerely, found a relatively peace and quiet tunnel and was ready to leave. The flight attendant looked at this youngster, couldn’t help smiling up slightly, this outlander was very interesting, looked like that it’s the first time for him to travel by the spaceship, but just asked the problems so carefully, didn’t let go any detail, perhaps before he came here, he had already checked a lot of travel must-knows on the network.
…………

Looked at this all made of metal tunnel, Sheilor’s steps became slow down, felt some pins and needles on his scalp. He had already known it clearly at this time, behind this about five meters long tunnel had all the federal electronic monitors hid, every passenger needed to be scanned over here.
This was a very normal thing, otherwise those born without chip empire people or the refugee of the Bermuda could sneak into the Federation at any moment? Sheilor swallowed a saliva, lowered his head slightly, but the eyes looked at the not far away exit, knew in his heart that the monitoring force over here was the most powerful in the Federation, if he could pass here, that meant the chip which his boss gave him, could let him to live in the whole federal society with the disguise identity, but what if when he was walking through the tunnel, was found the anomaly by the federal monitoring?
Whether there would be more than twenty stun guns to stick out from the wall, roasted him into a roast chicken? Sheilor couldn’t help to have a shiver, this scene made the distant crowd feel some weird, because no federal citizen seemed to care about this monitoring tunnel, most of the time, people seemed to have already forgotten the existence of the electronic monitoring.
“It looks like that this boy was really frozen miserably just now, get a wind coat ready for him.” A pleasant voice said.
Sheilor just had his steps slowed for a moment, a moment later, he raised his head, tried his best to walk calmly to the no one tunnel, only the change
s in his pocket felt his nervousness and shiver, but he didn’t show anything on his face. It’s not too long or too short for five meters, but when Sheilor walked through this tunnel, his legs were all somewhat feeble, he had a kind of walking from hell to heaven joy and a kind of released happiness after the nervousness.
…………
…………
But his relaxed ecstasy didn’t last very long, because he found that all the people waiting outside of the tunnel were gazing at him with a kind of strange eyes, Sheilor wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, thought in his heart that the electronic monitoring didn’t find any problem, could it be that he had some strange place on his body? He touched his face subconsciously, and kept walking forward. Then he found out why there were so many people welcoming him with the strange eyes, that was because outside of this quiet tunnel, a group of people were waiting for him.
Besides the up front that young woman and the little girl in the young woman’s hand, this group of people were all the armed to the teeth soldiers, this big formation was just used to welcome a man, and he even was a wearing unlined dress, shrank the body like a bumpkin youngster, no wonder the people in the aviation airport, all cast the strange eyes on him.
Looked at that little girl’s joyful face, Sheilor knew that he couldn’t avoid this thing, he couldn’t slip away quietly any more, he had the bitter face and walked to the front of the crowd, just hoped that there wouldn’t be too horrible development coming up.
“Brother Sheilor.” Little Watermelon was wearing a deep red fur coat, wearing a hat, the brim pressed on her hair, showed the black hair line, and it looked pretty cute.
Sheilor had a smile at her, and then turned to that holding little girl’s hand young woman, said politely, “hello, madam.”
“Sheilor, hello.” This young woman was about thirty years old, the eyes and brows were gentle and agreeable, she had a kind of pleasing beauty when she looked around, but had a flicker of proud expression in her shining occasionally eyes, this kind of proud didn’t make people disgusted, instead it would let people to feel that it’s for granted. What’s called the growing environment impact the mentality, probably it’s said about this kind of people. She looked at Sheilor tenderly and said, “I’m Firework’s mother, thank you very much for taking care of her along the way, Mr. Sheilor.”
Sheilor looked at this beautiful but kind face, had the mind swung slightly, felt subconsciously that this young woman could be trusted very much, he forced to hold the absurd thought to ask her why she would name Little Watermelon such a strange name, and was ready to say a few polite words. But that planet luxury all over young woman handed him a name card with a smile and said, “had the special trip to come here to say thank you, I still need to go back to the army hospital to have the important things to do, I’m very sorry, Mr. Sheilor, if you have any problem in the Federation, hope you don’t mind to contact us, also let us to express the gratitude to you.”
“Thank you, sister.” A curious coincidence, Sheilor looked at the eyes of the young woman, blurted out a very absurd call.
This call made the crowd of soldiers changed the faces, even the warm and peaceful young woman had a flicker of strange color in her eyes, but then changed it into the pity smile, shook her head, let a soldier next to her to hand over a military wind coat, didn’t say anything any more, then led the reluctant to part Little Watermelon, and in the protection of the soldiers, walked to the VIP special tunnel.
Sheilor held the wind coat in one hand, and one hand held that natural fiber name card, was in a daze for a moment. Although he didn’t know all about it, but he still knew that this kind of name card was very expensive. He looked at the young woman’s figure now appearing and now disappearing in the soldiers, couldn’t help to have a wry smile and shook his head, he also felt that his previous nervousness was too excessive. His boss was right, contacted with the opposite sex too little, it surely would be easy to cause problem.
He had already guessed ambiguously the family of Little Watermelon, of course he wouldn’t consider it how rude, which that young woman left after she handed him the name card. In fact, Sheilor didn’t think that those things he did worthy them to come to thank him, with the other side’s status, could come to here to wait and said a few words with him, it’s already very polite, moreover, he knew it clearly, this young woman must be in a hurry to go to the army hospital to visit her husband’s trusted followers and subordinates.
It’s different from those self-confident and self-improvement male leading role in the novel, Sheilor didn’t tear this precious name card and throw it into the dustbin, but put it away next to the skin carefully. Then he brought out he address which his boss left for him, put on the warm wind coat, headed on the bigger and bigger blizzard, and walked out of the airport.
