Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train
When Ming Chu returned from the robot world, aside from selecting Li Xian, Taozi had essentially been smuggled back with her, making Ming Chu her guardian on Blue Star.
During the previous two returns, Taozi had indeed stayed at home.
However, this time, she didn't seem to see Taozi.
At moments like this, Ming Chu felt that the fact that time continued to flow in the real world while she was in an alternate world was a truly troublesome issue.
This question from Ming Chu really stumped Xu Ruo as well, but fortunately, Xu Ruo could go ask someone.
Just as Ming Chu was contemplating whether to let Mengmeng take charge and go fetch Taozi herself, she heard Xu Ruo's answer.
To be honest, Ming Chu immediately picked at her ear: "What? Where did you say she is?"
Xu Ruo's expression was also complicated: "The amusement park. She checked with the Special Administration Bureau, and they booked the whole place for her."
Ming Chu's first reaction was: I haven't even experienced the joy of booking out a whole venue.
But since the person was out having fun, and in a place known to the Bureau, Ming Chu didn't need to worry about her running off on a whim.
That was true.
If Taozi had really run away on her own, the Bureau would have sounded the alarm long ago, and someone from the Bureau would have come looking for her the moment she returned.
She had just been worried sick for nothing.
"Alright, since Taozi is fine, I'll head back first," Ming Chu said, waving at Xu Ruo.
Xu Ruo nodded: "Fine, go ahead. Once you've confirmed those 10 spots, remember to let me know."
Ming Chu made an OK gesture and added: "If there's any new progress on the ability serums, remember to tell me too."
Even with a familiar routine, nearly three hours had passed by the time Ming Chu got home.
When she returned, Mother Ming had gone to work, Father Ming was in the yard planting vegetables, and Ming Ling had gone to class. Ming Chu went straight to her third-floor bedroom, washed up, and threw herself onto the bed.
She let Mengmeng out, who scurried around the room on her short legs, and Mangmang was also released to play.
