Chapter 1496 Advancing Tentacle Monster
Buzz buzz buzz——
The transport aircraft’s roar cut across the sky as Li Zhenzhen gazed at the gloomy sky outside the window and let out a long sigh.
“How much longer do we have to sit on this plane… It’s been four hours already, why aren’t we taking off yet?”
“We’ve been on the move this whole time,” Fang Mo shrugged beside her.
“We’ve clearly just been going in circles!”
“That’s because we don’t know where the enemy will attack from,” Ding Chongfeng, sitting behind the two, slowly spoke up. “Captain Shao said that currently, whether the enemy will invade Da Xia, and from which direction they might invade, is still uncertain… so we can only divide all the Night Watchers into three groups, each boarding three transport aircraft, circling different positions along Da Xia’s border.
Only this way, when an enemy attack occurs at any border, there will be one transport aircraft that can quickly bring a large number of Night Watchers to the scene, avoiding casualties from arriving at the battlefield in succession.”
“I have to say, that’s a really clever solution,” Su Zhe scratched his head. “I certainly couldn’t have thought of it.”
His sister Su Yuan silently rolled her eyes beside him.
“This Captain Shao who’s temporarily serving as Commander-in-Chief does have some skills.”
“Speaking of which, how long has it been since we’ve all gathered like this?” Fang Mo’s gaze swept across those familiar faces as he smiled. “Who would have thought our next meeting would be on a circling transport aircraft…”
“It’s been over a year since we left the training camp, right? Fang Mo, you’ve grown taller.”
“…While I appreciate the compliment, please don’t pat my head while you’re at it.”
“Tsk, so stingy.”
Fang Mo swatted away Su Zhe’s hand from his head and looked toward the seats on the other side of the transport aircraft. A young man wearing a black eye patch sat quietly by the window, gazing down at the clouds below, motionless like a sculpture.
After a moment of silence, Fang Mo unbuckled his safety belt and walked over to him.
There weren’t many Night Watchers remaining within Da Xia’s borders to begin with, and after being divided among three transport aircraft, there were still many empty seats. For people like Fang Mo, walking around in the bumpy cabin wasn’t particularly difficult.
“Long time no see.” Fang Mo naturally sat down beside him and fastened his safety belt.
Lu Baoyou’s remaining eye glanced at him briefly without speaking, then turned back to look at the scenery outside the window.
“…” Fang Mo wasn’t surprised by Lu Baoyou’s attitude; rather, he was used to it and naturally continued, “You were transferred to Huaihai City? How are you adjusting there?”
“…Fine.”
“Are there many ‘Mysteries’ there?”
“Average.”
“What level are you at now?”
“A bit higher than you.”
“…”
Fang Mo’s mouth twitched slightly as he suppressed the urge to fight Lu Baoyou on the transport aircraft and stood up to return to his seat.
“I heard you all went to the front lines recently?” Lu Baoyou suddenly spoke up.
Fang Mo paused, then shook his head, “We never even reached the front lines. We were intercepted in Jiangcheng City by the Seven Nights… by the [Night Curtain] team.”
Hearing this, a barely perceptible look of disappointment flashed in Lu Baoyou’s eyes.
Fang Mo keenly noticed something. “You want to go to the front lines?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Killing ‘Mysteries’ at the garrison is boring. It’s more satisfying to kill on the battlefield.” Lu Baoyou’s eyes narrowed.
Fang Mo: …
“We want to go to the front lines to share the burden with our seniors… but you just want to go to kill enemies?”
“If we kill all the enemies, wouldn’t that eliminate the pressure?”
Hearing Lu Baoyou’s retort, Fang Mo was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Last time you were too far away, so it’s normal you couldn’t make it… This time, I guess there’s no avoiding it,” Fang Mo said solemnly. “I’ve heard the casualties at the front lines are extremely severe, otherwise they wouldn’t have urgently called us over.”
Lu Baoyou looked out the window, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit:
“All the better.”
As everyone was talking, the transport aircraft suddenly changed direction, rushing westward at high speed. The significant tilt of the aircraft nearly suspended everyone vertically in the air.
Feeling the rapid acceleration, Fang Mo’s expression tensed as if realizing something.
Then, a voice sounded throughout the cabin: “Enemy activity detected at the western border. Hold tight, we’re heading there now.”
“Western border…”
Ding Chongfeng looked at the ground below, frowning slightly. “That’s near my area… we should be the closest.”
Hearing these words, everyone’s expressions immediately turned serious. The previous relaxed atmosphere and laughter disappeared. They gripped the hilts of their straight swords tightly. These rookies, who had just graduated from the training camp not long ago, felt somewhat uneasy.
Of course, there were exceptions among them.
Lu Baoyou’s eyes sparkled with vitality as he gazed westward, seemingly anticipating something.
The transport aircraft sped across the sky, and soon a massive silver fortress appeared in their view. In the distance, the misty wall was getting closer.
At this moment, the border mist was churning violently. Waves of black shadows surged out from the mist like tides. When the people on the transport aircraft saw the appearance of these monsters, their expressions immediately turned grim!
“What kind of monsters are these… why do they look so disgusting?”
“Are they trees? Sheep? Octopuses?”
“Their eyes… their eyes are looking at us!”
“…”
These young Night Watchers, after witnessing the spawn of the [Black Goat], immediately panicked. Fortunately, they had seen various strange “Mysteries” over the past few years, so their mentality was somewhat stable. If this had happened before, they would probably have been scared speechless by now.
“These are our enemies?” Ding Chongfeng’s face was extremely gloomy. “They’re so strong… each one is at least at the ‘Klein’ level or above! How can we possibly hold them back?”
“We have to hold them back even if we can’t. Delaying them a bit is better than nothing.” Fang Mo was the calmest among everyone.
Lu Baoyou’s hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his tongue lightly licking his lips, his eyes bursting with fighting spirit!
As the distance between the transport aircraft and the fortress grew shorter, the Black Goat spawn had already reached the outer wall of the fortress. At this moment, there were almost no personnel left inside the fortress. Conventional weapons couldn’t deal with so many monsters simultaneously, and they easily tore open a gap.
“There’s no time for a normal landing.” The voice in the cabin was extremely serious. “Prepare to parachute!”
Boom——!!
Before he could finish speaking, the aircraft’s fuselage violently shook, and everyone experienced a spinning sensation, as if something was grabbing the plane and frantically swinging it.
Then, a thick tentacle covered in suction cups slammed heavily against the edge of the cabin, shattering all the windows!
