The Leopard and Dove teams were overjoyed, both teams expressed no objections, and the Rose team also agreed happily.

3A quickly found their battle partners.

Other teams took a bit more time to match, but eventually, it was done.

Once 3A formed their team, they headed to the rooftop. Unlike helicopters, the airship didn’t cause strong winds, so they didn’t appear too awkward.

The large doors of the airship opened automatically, and a staircase lowered for them to board directly.

The Leopard and Dove teams were particularly obedient, letting their senior team members go up first while they eagerly waited in line to board the airship.

Wang Weihua found their silly behavior amusing; the charm of rookies.

Xu Duoduo followed behind Qin Luo and found that the inside of the airship was quite spacious. The seats were comfortable and roomy, six seats in a row.

There were aisles on both sides.

The seats were made of soft leather, equipped with seat belts and cup holders, much better than economy class on planes, almost like a first-class cabin.

The experience felt quite fresh.

Everyone casually took their seats. The Rose team sat in the front, 3A in the middle, and Leopard and Dove teams at the back.

The airship had a round, cute shape, and the interior was spacious with good lighting from the windows. As on a plane, they could also choose to pull down the sunshade.

However, once they took off, everything outside would be dark, with only the base remaining lit.

The food provided was nutritional liquids and some dry food, which they had already picked up before departure.

Before each mission, the headquarters provided essential supplies, which everyone stored in their space cards. Those without space cards had their supplies collected by their team leader.

Chen Xiaofei commented that the airship was very cool, “But hey, do you think if I keep upgrading, I’ll be able to fly all around the world? After all, I have wings.”

Qin Luo and Bai Shu both said in unison, “Birdman.”

Chen Xiaofei immediately fumed, turning to Xu Duoduo on his left and saying, “Squad leader, look at them! They’re bullying me!”

Xu Duoduo slapped Big Dog’s arm, “Bad boy, apologize.”

Qin Luo immediately softened, “Sorry.”

Bai Shu also coughed and said, “Sorry.”

Wang Weihua was amused to find that their squad leader’s words were very effective, “Squad leader, if they keep messing around, you’ll have to take care of it. Really.”

He looked at Xu Duoduo with an expectant gaze, passing the responsibility of maintaining 3A’s image onto her.

Xu Duoduo was confused.

The Rose team in the front row couldn’t help but laugh. 3A was indeed fun.

The two leaders of the Leopard and Dove teams leaned forward and said, “Sister Duoduo is so cool.” “Brother Wang, we’re going on a mission together again.”

Wang Weihua immediately turned to them, “Sit properly, we’re about to take off. Fasten your seatbelts!”

The two leaders immediately complied, sitting back down quickly.

Xu Duoduo noticed the Dove team leader’s necklace. She remembered when the Mutated Beautree incident occurred, she heard him shout, “No, brother wants you,” with a voice filled with both urgency and sorrow. Everyone has their own deep, untouchable pain, but it’s hard to imagine that the usually cheerful Dove team leader had such a painful side.

Everyone has their struggles.

Xu Duoduo felt a bit emotional.

While chatting with Chen Xiaofei, Qin Luo pulled out a blanket from his space card and covered Xu Duoduo with it. She liked soft, fuzzy things.

Since she couldn’t touch Qin Luo’s tail, she liked to stroke the blanket.

Xu Duoduo rubbed the blanket in her hands, soft and comforting, which she liked.

After the airship completed its tests, it soon took off.

All the doors were closed, and an electronic announcement played with progress updates, “Door 1 closed, Door 2 closed…”

In front of the battle teams’ seats was a large screen displaying progress and showing the pilot’s location. There were five staff members in the cockpit.

Chen Xiaofei couldn’t help but say, “Oh my, why am I feeling a bit nervous?”

Bai Shu told him to stay calm.

Qin Luo turned to Xu Duoduo with a slight sense of expectation, “Xu Duoduo, are you scared? Nervous?”

He thought, if she was scared or nervous, they could hold hands.

Xu Duoduo looked puzzled. She shook her head, “Not scared.” She actually thought it was a little exciting.

Qin Luo was immediately disappointed.

If his ears were showing, they would definitely droop by now.

Xu Duoduo suddenly realized and said, “You’re scared? Don’t be scared, if you are, I can hug you, like how you like to crawl into my arms at night…”

The rest of her words were muffled by Qin Luo, who blushed and lowered his voice, “I told you, don’t say these things out loud!!” He anxiously glanced around.

Xu Duoduo’s main problem was that sometimes she couldn’t tell when to be shy.

She could get embarrassed, but it wasn’t fixed. When she understood, she would feel shy. When she didn’t, she would say whatever came to her mind.

Qin Luo was often startled by her, his face turning red as he felt like a pervert in her words—always wanting hugs and kisses.

Ahhhh!

Luckily, no one heard.

Xu Duoduo was good about controlling her volume in public; after all, she had always been a good child growing up.

Qin Luo looked around, seeing that no one was acting strange, and felt completely relieved.

Really no one noticed?

Chen Xiaofei and the others were trying hard to resist teasing their team leader, silently repeating to themselves, “This is outside, this is outside, this is outside.”

They couldn’t joke around.

It would be too embarrassing if they caused trouble now, especially since they were on a mission.

So they could only laugh at their team leader in their hearts for being so shy.

The Leopard and Dove teams heard it too but didn’t dare to speak, just feeling shocked.

So this was how Qin Luo and Xu Duoduo interacted privately? The fierce Qin Luo, who always looked intimidating, actually liked to cuddle with his partner and crawl into her arms?

The two rookie team leaders felt a little embarrassed. It was too awkward.

They also pretended they hadn’t heard.

The feeling of flying on the airship was quite similar to a plane, with a strong sense of weightlessness at first.

Several young members of the Leopard and Dove teams, who hadn’t flown before, were a little frightened and felt anxious, but were soon calmed by their teammates.

Wang Weihua turned to check if they were okay, and the staff also came over to ask if they needed help.

They reassured them that everything was fine.

Xu Duoduo handed out some snacks to the back row to help distract them.

They were deeply moved, each saying, “Sister Duoduo is so nice.” “Thank you, Sister Duoduo.”

The Rose team sisters also offered to use their abilities to help reduce the discomfort of the younger teams.

The Leopard and Dove teams were flattered, thinking that their teammates were the best!

Xu Duoduo also shared some snacks with the Rose team and then took back a few small items.

It was just so comfortable to go on a mission with teammates who clicked well together.
