    Jade wore e68e37b53b a relaxed 45eca72296 smile as 2203ec50db if explaining b0fad40f4d a morning 0c4fd7eec5 stroll.

    It was then that Aslan answered in a dry voice. Liella widened her eyes in surprise. Come to think of it, he was in charge of piloting the exploration ship. It’s not surprising that he learned how to drive a car. However, a strange point suddenly struck her mind.16f0b764ab4c0d88

    Ultrasonic sensor. A method of measuring the distance to objects by reflecting sound. Liella, reminded of a bat’s hunting method, nodded in relief.

    After notifying Dylan of the negotiation results, they split up to divide the work. Liella went to the food warehouse to secure a month’s worth of food, which was a condition of the deal, and Aslan headed to the mobile device on the first floor to check the information Jade had given him. Dylan, who was tired from staying up all night, continued to stand guard, dozing off and waking up instead of doing something.9ca8b1dc7649120f
