Chapter 386: Hardcore Landing
Hearing this, the five people in the cabin stiffened simultaneously and exchanged silent glances.
Flying methods?
Well, it’s not entirely impossible…
Baili Pangpang’s [Yaoguang] can transform into a flying sword, but while it’s fine for a short flight near the ground, descending from such a height would be quite difficult given his current level of mental power. Moreover, carrying five people at once would definitely be considered overloading; the flying sword would probably break apart mid-air.
Qiye, how about you recite a poem for us like you did at the fasting place? Baili Pangpang leaned closer to Lin Qiye and asked in a low voice.
Lin Qiye shook his head. Gliding is the most he can do; jumping down from a wall several dozen meters high is one thing, but falling from this height relying solely on gliding is definitely not enough…
Baili Pangpang’s expression suddenly turned awkward.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, walked up to the officer, and mustered the courage to ask, Do you have parachutes on this plane?
…The officer hesitated for a moment. We do have some, but they are only for the pilot and me in case of emergencies. There are only four in total.
Only four?
Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over the others, and his brows furrowed immediately.
There are five of us; four parachutes are definitely not enough!
…Wait!
Lin Qiye suddenly thought of something and looked up at Jialan sitting nearby, his eyes lighting up.
Seeing that look, Jialan felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding…
…
One minute later.
Above Gusu City, a black transport plane roared through the sky, the tailgate slowly opening. Five figures stood side by side at the door, the fierce wind whipping their clothes.
In the night sky, the neon-lit bustling city center was shrouded in purple mist, resembling a giant bowl turned upside down over the earth, gradually swallowing the surrounding streets, like a strange monster lurking in the darkness.
Lin Qiye looked down at his feet, his brow slightly furrowing.
From the plane, it was clear that the coverage of this purple mist had already exceeded fifteen kilometers and was slowly increasing… They didn’t have much time left.
The [Bell Crande] extermination operation begins.
With a parachute bag on his back and a black box in hand, Lin Qiye was the first to step off the plane, disappearing into the night sky.
An Qingyu and Cao Yuan followed closely behind.
Baili Pangpang, with a pained expression, cautiously leaned over the edge of the cabin and took a careful look down, his lips trembling.
Damn, it’s so high! Jumping down won’t… Ahhh!!!
Before Baili Pangpang could finish, a foot suddenly kicked him in the back, sending him flying out of the cabin like a ball, followed by a piercing scream as he plummeted toward the ground.
Jialan stood by the cabin, looking resentfully at the four figures with parachutes jumping down, her lips pressed together, almost visibly displaying her displeasure.
Hmph!
She huffed angrily, hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and leaped off the edge of the cabin.
Unlike the previous four, she wasn’t wearing a parachute…
The fierce wind whipped her blue robe, and her long black hair flowed like a waterfall in the air. With a light yellow hardwood bow on her back, she plummeted toward the ground like a shooting star.
The five figures drew closer to the ground, and soon the four parachutes opened one after another, their descent slowing as they began to drift down.
But the blue figure showed no signs of slowing down, diving even faster and quickly surpassing the four with parachutes.
Jialan’s figure swept past Lin Qiye, who was momentarily stunned, as if he saw her shake her fist at him with an expression that seemed to threaten him…
Lin Qiye shook his head.
Yeah, I must have seen it wrong.
Whoosh—!!
Bang—!!!
The blue figure pierced through the mist at an astonishing speed, crashing without any flourish onto the roof of a five-story office building, not stopping there but continuing to smash through five floors, crashing down to the ground with a thunderous impact.
Debris flew, and thick smoke rose slowly from the large hole, drifting up from the rooftop…
The four of them, swaying in their parachutes, entered the mist, adjusting their direction with ropes, heading straight toward where Jialan had landed.
By the time they landed on the street in front of the building, a figure was already slowly climbing out of the deep pit, brushing off the dust from her blue robe, walking to the glass revolving door, stopping to tidy her hair and collar in the reflection, before pushing the door open and stepping out…
Lin Qiye unfastened the parachute straps and turned to meet Jialan’s extremely resentful gaze, feeling a bit embarrassed as he coughed twice.
Are you… okay?
Jialan’s fair fist immediately clenched tightly.
Time waits for no one. The longer we stay in this mist, the more severe the mental pollution we’ll suffer. We should quickly discuss our strategy. Lin Qiye turned his head and spoke seriously.
Jialan shot him a fierce glare, but after thinking for a moment, she reluctantly relaxed her fist.
Qingyu, share your thoughts. Lin Qiye secretly sighed in relief and turned to An Qingyu.
An Qingyu thought for a moment and said, When I was falling just now, I carefully analyzed all the details of this mission. Although the target is very clear, the process is not simple.
First of all, [Bell Crande] is very small, not much bigger than a pebble, and it’s extremely cunning. Finding it in this vast area of mist is like searching for a needle in a haystack…
Lin Qiye nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. Exactly, I thought of that too. This mist has almost enveloped the entire commercial area around the center of Gusu. Even I would need at least ten hours to search it thoroughly with my mental power.
So what do we do? Baili Pangpang couldn’t help but speak up. After ten hours, even our minds will be polluted.
Therefore, relying solely on us… is not enough. An Qingyu spoke slowly.
Cao Yuan frowned in confusion. But besides us, who else is there?
A shy smile appeared on An Qingyu’s face.
At that moment, the manhole covers around them suddenly began to tremble violently, as if something was about to break through.
Bang—!!
The heavy manhole cover was directly blown off, and gray rats surged out of the sewer like a torrent, instantly covering the street. They circled around An Qingyu, respectfully lying on the ground.
Cao Yuan and the others instinctively frowned, preparing for battle, but they were all frozen in place at this sight.
In the center of this rat tide, An Qingyu adjusted her glasses, the lenses reflecting the light from the street lamps, and slowly spoke:
This year, my fish species’ division process has never stopped… The cities surrounding Cangnan City have been completely infiltrated by me.
