154 Military Official (1/2)

The slim-figured girl couldn't have more than a few years' difference in age as Chen Fan. If not for the two bars and three stars on her shoulder which bedazzled him, Chen Fan thought that she could even be Yun Meng's classmate.

”Please make way!” The colonel reminded Chen Fan again.

”Oh, alright, alright…” Chen Fan quickly stood up from the seat and let the pretty colonel in.

The 07-style uniform not only have the rank on it, there was also an armband and a name badge on the right chest. The colonel was facing Chen Fan just now, and Chen Fan only saw the name badge on her chest which had the two words ”Ye Xi” printed on it, but did not see her armband. Therefore, Chen Fan started looking at her armband after she was seated, wanting to see which department she was from.

A colonel taking a plane to Saudi Arabia, and wearing a military uniform, this meant that she must be entrusted with a certain mission instead of acting on her own accord.

On the shield type armband was a type of national emblem that Chen Fan wasn't familiar with. Instead, there were two crossed sabers in the center of surrounding wheat, and a bright red five-star flag embroidered above the sabers. What made Chen Fan's jaw dropped further was, the words ”Ministry of National Defense” were embroidered above the red flag.

Although she was wearing a ”Ministry of National Defense” armband, it didn't mean that she definitely worked there. However, this was much more exciting than meeting big stars like Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li on the plane.

After sitting down, the young colonel named Ye Xi just looked to the side in silence, like other girls who either adjust their phones to ”turn off wireless” mode to listen to music and play games or read magazines nonstop.

Chen Fan wanted very much to strike up a conversation with the female colonel, like ask her how did she manage to get around at work? She actually got to the rank of colonel at such a young age, and also why was she going to Saudi Arabia?

Although she looked quiet and easily bullied, the words ”Ministry of National Defense” on the armband sent a chill down Chen Fan's spine. It wouldn't be fun if he got treated like a spy.

The plane had already been towed by the tractor toward the runway. Chen Fan suppressed the curiosity inside him and crossed his arms in front as he went into meditation.

Not long after the plane soared into the clouds, the air stewardess pushed the aluminum cart and distributed lunch to each passenger one by one.

The plane would reach Saudi at 7 p.m. local time, so Chen Fan had to settle his lunch and dinner on the plane.

The food provided in the business class of an international airline was not bad. There were a total of three types of main courses, six dishes, and various desserts and beverages to choose from. There were rice, bread, fried noodles, beef brisket, potatoes, fruits and vegetables, etc.

Chen Fan chose a set meal with rice as the main course, whereas the lady named Ye Xi chose one with fried noodles as the main course. After pulling down the tray table in front, Chen Fan quickly wiped out the rice and asked the air stewardess for another set. It couldn't be helped, since he was in the prime of life, and he could really eat, as if there was a meat grinder in his stomach.

After Chen Fan finished eating and burped twice, Colonel Ye Xi was still eating the fried noodles in small bites. She probably liked sour stuff. After putting a packet of ketchup into the fried noodles, she took a second packet and wanted to tear it open.

Probably due to the negligence of the production staff, the ketchup packet did not have teeth to make tearing it open easy. Ye Xi tried twice but did not tear it open and could only put it back to its original place.

”Let me help you tear it!” Chen Fan smiled and took the ketchup on her tray table. How could she be military personnel when she couldn't even tear open a packet of ketchup? She should be an actress for ”The Dream of Red Mansions.”

It was only after Chen Fan took the ketchup that he realized it didn't have any teeth and was really difficult to deal with. Not only was the surface smooth, more than half of the inside was filled with ketchup and there was only a half-centimeter sealing strip. Chen Fan pulled twice but it slipped from his fingers both times. If the packet of ketchup was his, Chen Fan would definitely put it into his mouth and use his teeth to bit. However, with a beautiful lady beside him, Chen Fan would never do something so unrefined!

After rubbing his fingers, Chen Fan pinched the sealing strip tightly and then used all his strength!

Bang! A small hole exploded from the sealing strip of the packet and the thick bright red liquid inside shot from under Chen Fan's eyes in the form of elongated strip onto the face of Colonel Ye Xi who was beside him.

Chen Fan could only gasp before the ketchup hit the porcelain-like face of Colonel Ye Xi.

Chen Fan subconsciously licked away the ketchup on his fingers, and then looked at the spots of red ketchup on her face in shock. The ketchup was very red, and her face very white. The two formed an extremely discordant pattern.

It was too fast, and too unexpected. Chen Fan was still unable to react from the shock.

Ye Xi was also not yet able to react. The fork in her hand froze as she stared at Chen Fan in disbelief. Uh, there was even ketchup on her curved eyebrows.

”This... I... sorry, sorry, I didn't do it on purpose!” Chen Fan quickly grabbed a facial tissue and wanted to wipe away the ketchup on her face, but changed direction halfway and put it into her hand. After all, the two had only met by chance, and he might be seen as taking advantage by doing that.

”I'm fine!” There was no anger from Ye Xi's expression. After taking the facial tissue, she wiped away the ketchup on her face bit by bit.

”There's some here!” Chen Fan pointed at his own forehead. It was actually on part of her hair hanging down, but Chen Fan was unable to demonstrate with his crew cut hair.

Ye Xi changed to a clean piece of facial tissue and wiped a few times but didn't manage to find the correct position. ”On the hair, on the hair!” Chen Fan stretched out his index finger and gently pointed beside her forehead.

Ye Xi retracted her face and wiped according to where Chen Fan pointed at.

Luckily, the ketchup didn't sputter onto her military uniform. After wiping carefully a few times, there was no trace of it.

After the air stewardess cleared the tables, the two went into silence again. Although Chen Fan wanted very much to chat with her, he could only continue playing with his electric eel after seeing Ye Xi's unhappy look.

Just as the plane took off, the electric eel dug up another skeleton. However, the skeleton was a little pathetic; its skull had been smashed into a big hole, and there was even some residual gravel inside.

As of now, Chen Fan did not find any remains of metal weapons, but only stones and the like. This meant that their history exceeded more than 4,700 years, and they were likely to be human beings from the Stone Age.

China's bronze vessels appeared from 4,700 years ago, and were gradually replaced by metal vessels more than 2,000 years ago, spanning about 3,000 years of history, so Chen Fan concluded that their history exceeded 4,700 years.
