Chapter 2, Kappa City
"Hey? Several helicopters have flown towards the city, are they from the military?" A male student said with a hint of surprise as he saw the helicopters rushing by. Kapa City is an international entertainment and tourism metropolis. Although Hawaii itself has a U.S. military base, the likelihood of military helicopters directly flying to this water city, in consideration of foreign tourists' feelings, should theoretically be quite low.
Yang Xiaoyou did consider giving them a heads-up in advance, but setting aside the impact on her own plans, even if she informed them, it is likely that no one would pay attention to her, an accompanying passenger with no voice and no sense of presence... this has been tried before...
At that moment, a series of roaring sounds from propellers came from the rear of the bus. Three beige military helicopters soared over the sea, racing ahead towards the city, and the intense airflow generated by the rotors stirred up significant waves on the surface of the water
This water city, expanded over several decades with investments from several large financial conglomerates on Hello Island, showcases the miracle of human effort
Certainly, due to his somewhat reclusive nature, he would not engage in actions that could lead to trouble unless he had absolute confidence. His greatest advantage now, which also serves as his strongest trump card, is that he remains in the shadows.
Yuying Middle School and the Royal Foundation School, due to the relationship of their founders, have significant competition between them; however, it is mostly a healthy competition. After all, due to the enrollment criteria of the Royal Foundation School, there is not much friction between the two in terms of student sources. Moreover, the two schools often organize study trips together.
However, compared to others, this group of elite students from the two universities ultimately had twenty-six individuals survive, nearly reaching one-third. This indicates that these still somewhat immature future elites have indeed demonstrated their comprehensive qualities that far exceed those of their peers
This journey, in essence, is designed to enable these students, who are destined to have a starting point far beyond that of ordinary individuals, to begin expanding their networks with one another from now on, fully utilizing the true value that these two schools inherently offer
The ultra-modern city and the charming pastoral scenery of the adjacent island support each other, creating a striking contrast. When the Kappa Project was first introduced, many people opposed it, believing that this modern city would destroy the natural beauty that originally belonged to this place
The general model of the Black Hawk is possessed by several civilian organizations; however, for the other party to obtain flight rights over Kappa City, it must be a large company, even if it is not the military
However, I do not intend to experience these things... Just recalling them has made Yang Xiaoyou feel that heart-wrenching pain. He truly cannot imagine how his 'self' at that time managed to endure all of this. Those 'futures' must be changed
Looking at the girl in front of her who wrinkled her small nose and appeared somewhat dissatisfied, Yang Xiaoyou felt a mix of emotions. Aside from a few 'home buddies' with shared interests, she did not have many true friends.
... ...
Moreover, although in this lifetime he has not yet been targeted by those 'hostile' forces, he is not prepared to let it go just like that. Yang Xiaoyou does not believe that he is particularly magnanimous; since these individuals have brought him such painful memories, he intends to make them suffer even more.
Sitting by the window, Yang Xiaoyou casually glanced at the speaker and the book, noting his handsome appearance and sunny demeanor. His refined expression easily evoked a sense of fondness, exuding a maturity not often found in someone of his age. Although his tone did not convey much, Yang Xiaoyou still detected a hint of slight confusion on his face.
Finally, it has arrived. The greatest turning point in my life is about to unfold here, but this time I must change the course of my future trajectory
During this study trip organized by the two universities, there is a significant delegation of authority; the accompanying teachers generally do not interfere with the students' own decisions. Additionally, Zhao Chen, who is also the vice president of the student council, has the full right to express his opinions regarding the itinerary of this trip
Those who engage in lively discussions and have been expanding their networks and social connections since high school are often unaware of the terrifying experiences they may encounter after a period of time
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyou had no mood to seek out that potential benefactor who might take her under their wing
... ...
"What are you doing?" said the beautiful girl who was being dragged away, struggling as she spoke. Although she wore a look of resistance and reluctance, she ultimately followed Yang Xiaoyou to a place with slightly fewer people.
When a beautiful girl with playful twin ponytails, exuding youthful vitality and possessing long, graceful legs, got out of the car, Yang Xiaoyou steeled herself and walked over, then, amidst the astonished expressions of onlookers, pulled her aside.
Yang Xiaoyou, who has only gained these memories, understands that regardless of the circumstances, she must endure this ordeal. If she wishes to live freely and not worry about disappearing from the world due to inadvertently offending someone formidable, she must possess her own power.
However, the man named Zhao Chen who spoke and the librarian had a certain impression of each other, and at the same time, he felt somewhat emotional about the capabilities of these two prestigious schools in his city
Now, everyone can see the iconic building of Kappa City, the Umbrella Building. It is precisely because of its existence that Kappa City has been able to thrive in this region, known for having the highest rainfall in the world, while also reducing some of the direct exposure to the scorching sun
The Black female tour guide on the bus, as the vehicle was about to cross the world's longest sea bridge, which spans twenty kilometers, proudly pointed to the building in front of her that resembled a giant umbrella, covering half the city, and introduced it.
Chen Hao, who was specially recruited as a pilot, is one such individual, and the girl before me, who can almost be compared to Liang Wuxuan, is also one. The three of us were childhood friends who grew up playing in the mud together, but since we started middle school, our contact with each other has significantly decreased
This time is no different; due to the unique status of the two schools, the significance represented by this study trip is distinctly different from that of other ordinary schools. The students who are selected, in addition to being outstanding in terms of academic performance, almost without exception possess considerable backgrounds.
At that moment, another bus carrying students from Royal School, which was following the bus from Yuying Middle School, also slowly approached and came to a stop at the side.
Citywide Anti-Terrorism Drill? Liang Wuxuan looked at the soldier in front of her, whose serious expression revealed a hint of unusualness in her eyes. As the bus entered the city, the passengers on board saw a long line of various vehicles at the city exit, all of which were intercepted by another lane.
On a super cross-sea bridge that stretches endlessly, the humid sea breeze and warm sunlight accompany the bridge on either side. Inside a luxury bus traveling at high speed, a somewhat attractive Black female tour guide from m.hetushu.com, with a slight regional accent, introduces the passengers in English.
Only after obtaining this slide-like memory did I passively mature a little. Some things, without having experienced them personally, ultimately cannot achieve that effect.
... ...
Crossing the Century Bridge, we will soon arrive at our next destination, the city of Kapa'a, known as the Pearl of the Ocean and the Miracle of Hawaii
The opportunity that Liang Wuxuan initially referred to when speaking to Yang Xiaoyou was similarly indicative of this. For Yang Xiaoyou, who comes from a family of only moderate means, the benefits of being able to align herself with a powerful figure during this period are self-evident.
However, once this magnificent water city was successfully established, the vast majority of opposing voices obediently fell silent
Watching the bus that she had initially tampered with but ultimately managed to catch this 'last bus', Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but let out a sigh of resignation, her grip on the travel bag tightening unconsciously.
In terms of pure teaching quality, there are indeed institutions that can match these two schools; however, the unique environment they offer is something that other schools cannot compare to
The Hawaiian Islands, the most important stronghold of the United States in the Pacific, are also one of the world's tourist destinations. Although the capital of Hawaii is located in Honolulu, since the prosperity of Kapaa City, it has captured more attention.
As they gazed at the magnificent yet peculiar building, many students in the vehicle did not hold back their admiration.
Listening to the familiar dialogue that resonated with her memories, Yang Xiao You's face displayed a hint of a strange expression. It was now too late to turn back; at this moment, both ends of the only bridge connecting the city to the outside world had been completely sealed off. She and her companions might be considered the last group of 'ordinary' tourists entering this city.
As long as this hurdle in front of me is handled well, allowing it to follow the planned route I have set for over half a month, the path ahead will become much easier, or rather, I will be able to gain the capital to contend with fate... This trip to Kappa must be successful...
Casually tossing aside the second-hand PSP in her hand, Yang Xiaoyou propped her chin on her hand against the bus window, gazing at the faint black silhouette emerging in the distance. Listening to the tour guide's commentary and the conversations among the elites around her, she couldn't help but feel a wave of oppression.
Listening to the introduction from the tour guide ahead, Yang Xiaoyou, who was sitting alone in a corner of the bus and distractedly playing with her second-hand PSP, let out a sigh of annoyance
The convoy of Hummer business vehicles just left the city in a seemingly hurried manner, and since then, there have been no vehicles seen leaving the city for quite some time. Now it is the same again, and I wonder if there is some situation. Zhao Chen seemed to hesitate for a moment, reflecting on what he had observed on the road, and ultimately furrowed his brow, speaking to Liang Wuxuan beside him in a consultative tone.
Upon reflecting on this, Yang Xiaoyou also appeared somewhat self-deprecating. Although he had inexplicably acquired this vast fragment of memories, he realized that his character and disposition were still completely incomparable to that moment captured in his memories.
At this age, having such quick reactions, it's no wonder that in the future one can handle such significant situations. When I first came here, I didn't feel anything was amiss. Yang Xiaoyou thought to herself with a hint of self-mockery, as the special experiences in her memory left her with few fragments related to school.
Yes, I hope everyone can cooperate and refrain from wandering outside before the conclusion. Due to Liang Wuxuan's devastatingly beautiful appearance, the serious-looking soldier spoke a little more than usual.
