Chapter 7

The Swift Wind vehicle automatically entered the guidance chamber. After the chamber door closed, a blue light layer appeared ahead. When the vehicle approached the edge of the light layer, the blue light layer opened automatically. Once the Swift Wind vehicle passed through, the light layer closed again. There are a total of four such blue light layers in the entire guidance passage. This is the protective barrier formed by the magic core crystal. Each of these light rings possesses substantial energy, making it difficult for even meteors to penetrate. Moreover, all the floating tracks chosen for the barrier cities are absolute balance zones calculated by scientists. The so-called absolute balance zone is determined based on the planetary orbital cycles and star trajectories, measuring the gravitational pull of each planet, and identifying the absolute balance area from the midpoints of their orbits. By establishing barrier cities in the absolute balance zone, humanity can avoid collisions with various meteors in the universe.

Inside the car, Zhao Zheng did not wish to say anything further, so she pulled down the holographic visor and began watching a program. However, it was not long before she fell asleep. It was not until Zhao Heng called out loudly to her: "Xiao Zhengzheng, what are you so engrossed in watching? We have already arrived at our destination!"

However, the guard on duty, upon seeing the Zhao family emblem on Zhao Zheng's swift vehicle, immediately saluted respectfully and allowed passage

Just like the recent incident, if Zhao Heng had truly calculated that they would not be involved in a car accident, then the subsequent speeding vehicle would certainly cause a disaster, endangering the lives of tens of thousands. For him to dismiss this with the phrase "just a minor issue" is truly difficult for her to accept

The Zhao family's emblem features a soaring silver dragon, rearing back with a long, piercing roar towards the heavens. Everyone is struck by the noble aura embodied by the silver dragon in the emblem. Each scale of the dragon is intricately detailed, and its eyes shine with a fierce brilliance. No matter how indifferent a person may be, a fiery spirit of determination ignites within their heart.

Before Zhao Heng could finish his words, he saw Zhao Zheng angrily unleash a blade of wind coming his way, and he immediately dodged: "I was merely expressing my thoughts, why take it so seriously!"

A sudden gust of wind rose without warning, and the fast-moving vehicle that was approaching from the side was engulfed by the massive whirlwind, being swept away a considerable distance. A dozen other fast-moving vehicles also suffered an unexpected disaster, as the fierce wind swiftly carried them out of the magnetic field.

Upon entering the main gate, one is greeted by a vast square, where the solemn and ancient architecture is characterized by sharp lines that reach towards the heavens, all reflecting the grandeur of the Zhao family. Everywhere, the Zhao family's guard can be seen, exuding an imposing presence. Within this expansive courtyard, numerous guardians move about, clad in their distinctive uniforms, each displaying an extraordinary demeanor.

Before Zhao Heng could finish speaking, Zhao Zheng stepped on him hard. What frustrated Zhao Zheng was that Zhao Heng looked at her with a face full of smiles and innocence, making her feel as if she were the villain instead. She couldn't help but turn her head coldly and said, "Let's go, probably everyone else has already gathered in the family hall."

Zhao Heng wore a calm smile, skillfully manipulating the driving tools. In his eyes, he had already observed the rapid movement of vehicles on various narrow paths several thousand meters away. What appeared to be thrilling to others was merely a game he was destined to win.

I have always suspected that his words would lead many members of the Zhao family to develop extreme thoughts, fully expressing their pride and arrogance, looking down on others, completely forgetting the meaning of this phrase, and instead becoming obstinate. For example, just like our current family head...

The Swift Wind vehicle stopped outside the family headquarters gate of the Dragon Barrier City. The first thing Zhao Zheng considered after getting out of the car was to check if her Swift Wind vehicle had been damaged. Zhao Heng accompanied her to examine it carefully and commented with a smile, "The vehicle performs well, with a star energy capacity of 800 degrees and an instantaneous propulsion power coefficient of four times. By the way, your Swift Wind vehicle can still be further modified. If we install a long-range controller here and a supercharger there, its performance can be enhanced even more..."

Confirming that his swift vehicle had not sustained any impact, apart from those affected vehicles, Zhao Zheng let out a sigh of relief as the remaining swift vehicles continued to advance. He cast an angry glance at the calm perpetrator beside him.

"Are you implying that I am cold-blooded?" Zhao laughed and said, "Everyone must take responsibility for their own actions! Since the driver of that car dared to drive recklessly, he must have the capability! If he lacks the capability, then he must be held accountable for the consequences!"

Zhao Heng sighed: "No wonder the reputation of the Four Great Families is poor; they enjoy privileges in everything."

"Hello! Xiao Zhengzheng, I have always thought that the message conveyed by that stubborn old man is quite good, but his ideas might be a bit extreme." Zhao Heng looked at Zhao Zheng, who stood upright, and pretended to analyze with concern, "Is he not afraid that his meaning will be misunderstood, leading others to develop extreme thoughts?"

In the square stands a fountain, gushing forth a continuous stream of water that shoots into the sky, astonishingly taking on the form of a dragon soaring upward. Although the children playing nearby wear friendly smiles on their faces, Zhao Heng keenly senses a few strands of chill penetrating his heart. That is the murderous intent of a target that has been locked in and observed.

They had long since entered the Weilong Barrier City. Unlike the bustling Beiwai City, the architecture here leans towards the Eastern style of the Earth era. The buildings are generally not tall, and in the central area of the city, there are even courtyard-style houses. The only change is in the ownership of these buildings. In the old civilization era, wealthy individuals mostly aspired to Western-style villas, whereas in Weilong City, people regard owning a courtyard equipped with modern technological devices as a symbol of high status. The pedestrians walking on the streets generally wear solemn expressions, and the aura emitted by any passerby is enough to rival that of the guardians of civilization in ordinary barrier cities.

Zhao Zheng shot him a glance and said, "That is because we bear the responsibility of combating the beasts and protecting the safety of humanity"

I do not need it

Boom

Zhao Heng returned to his lazy demeanor, trailing behind: "Ha! I haven't been back for a few years, and it seems that nothing here has changed at all. It really resembles that old man's style." Although he said this, he felt a sense of warmth in his heart.

Zhao Zheng quietly murmured to herself, removed her eye mask, and got out of the car

What! Which kid is so bold? Is he courting death! The people driving the swift vehicles were startled into a cold sweat by this reckless speedster.

Zhao Heng nonchalantly shrugged and smiled at her: "In fact, you are really just being redundant! I had already calculated the arrival of this swift vehicle. Even if you hadn't interfered, it would only have caused traffic behind us; we would still be able to reach our destination safely"

Every member of the Zhao family, since they became aware, has not first learned to explore their innate abilities, nor to acquire knowledge of advanced technology, but rather to comprehend the words left by the first patriarch of the Zhao family for future generations. Naturally, each person interprets this statement differently; for instance, there is currently a member of the Zhao family who has misinterpreted the meaning of this patriarch.

After exiting the guiding channel, the Swift Car was propelled into space, reaching its orbital trajectory. The deep black universe unfolded before Zhao Heng and his companion. The Swift Car retracted its wheels and extended its smooth titanium alloy panels. Zhao Heng quickly selected Dragon City on the control panel and comfortably lay back in the driver's seat to take a nap, as the journey along this magnetic route would be on autopilot. With a pure white flame erupting from the rear of the Swift Car, it swiftly embraced the cosmos.

Zhao Heng, standing behind her, also became slightly more serious upon seeing the symbolic badge

Watching the rapidly spinning screen before her, Zhao Zheng's face was tense, her already pale lips bitten tightly. Glancing once more at Zhao Heng's calm smile, she felt an overwhelming urge to pounce on him and unleash a flurry of punches and kicks. How could there be such a reckless speedster?

Suddenly, a racing car, as swift as he was, charged towards him at high speed. Zhao Zheng's fingers clenched tightly into his flesh, and as he watched the racing car rapidly approaching from the side, his mind went blank in an instant, and all his strength erupted forth.

Zhao Zheng coldly said: "You have been saying that for over ten years! You will never understand Grandpa Zhang's thoughts, so there is no need for you to speak out! Leave!"

Zhao Heng cast his gaze outside the car: "I just fear that in the end, it is all to protect one's own power"

Zhao Zheng inserted her identification verification card into the inspection slot on the door. A monotonous and serious voice came from inside: "Verification successful! Member of the Zhao family capability group: Zhao Zheng, welcome back from mission completion!"

They entered the interface between the magnetic navigation channel inside the city and the magnetic navigation channel outside the city. As a specialized guiding station, it is heavily guarded due to the interface leading to outer space. Inspections are extremely strict

As the sound subsided, the door slowly opened, revealing the family crest behind it. The original anger was replaced by a sense of sacred solemnity. In her heart, everything about the family was all that she upheld in her life

Proudly galloping through the heavens and earth, with a long howl that shakes the universe! We, the descendants of the Zhao family, should all possess an indomitable spirit and a relentless drive for self-improvement!" This was said by Zhao Shiwen, the first generation head of the Zhao family, when he designed the emblem during the era of Warcraft.

Zhao Zheng sometimes truly finds it difficult to grasp his character. To say he is indifferent seems inaccurate, as he greets everyone with a smile and never allows anyone to feel his arrogance. However, his indifference often manifests in an exceptionally cruel manner within his seemingly careless laziness

Looking back at the North Latitude Barrier City, it resembles a moving aerial city enveloped in a blue light shield, floating in space, appearing both magnificent and spectacular

Listening to Zhao Heng's words, Zhao Zheng felt that there seemed to be some truth in them, yet something felt off. However, she could not find any reason to refute them and could only remain silent
