Chapter 17: The Crash
Sometimes, Li Zhi really hates his mouth.
Good spirits do not work badly.
One second he said that even if it was a crash, it would be better than staying in the city, and the next second this sentence was fulfilled.
In the night sky, like dumplings, the subordinate races belonging to the King of Yellow broke through the atmosphere one by one from the vast starry sky and came to this place that was really small compared to the universe.
Due to its small size, not every Baiaki can land accurately and safely in the center of the city.
Li Zhi and the others just happened to run into one of the female drivers in Baiaki.
Before they knew what was happening, the monstrous creature with a horse's head, albeit only a layer of white bones, wings between its ribs, and tentacles, fluffy fur on its back, was shuttling between the stars, probably because the brakes were on the accelerator, and the soul drifted into a hearse, crashing into a helicopter trying to leave the outskirts of the city at a speed that a secular vehicle could not match.
The unaware crowd in the cabin was still mourning John's death and opening a bottle of vodka for the success of the escape.
"Shit! These are trying to open my treasure vodka in the name of your escape!! Knowing the truth, Bakmuel was pressed against the cold floor and watched as the two mercenaries pried open his item box.
Li Zhi smiled and pulled out a bunch of things from his belongings box.
For example, the Alpine lollipop, which I bought six hours ago, and is still hot.
In addition to vodka, there are several bottles of fruity orange and the like.
Not to mention high-calorie foods like chocolate.
"I never thought of it!" One of the heavily armed mercenaries was bearded and said, "Our boxes are full of ammunition, weapons, and bazookas, but yours is the ones to eat!" β
"I'm a logistician!" Bakmuel avenged himself: "Don't touch my milk candy!" Please at least leave me a drink! For God's sake! β
As he spoke, his mouth was gagged, and he watched his snacks and drinks swept away by everyone, and tears of humiliation fell.
It's like cleaning up its hiding spot in front of a hamster one day.
It is enough to make it suspect that the rat is alive, and there is nothing to love.
Disaster struck at this time.
Almost instantly, in the midst of the huge collision sound, Li Zhi looked at the starry sky outside the window, and the whistling sound of falling from a high altitude echoed in his ears.
Then he fainted.
He's really afraid of heights.
Especially when you're around with that feeling of weightlessness.
When he woke up, there was a flickering fire not far away.
A bonfire stood out not far away, surrounded by several wounded people covered in bandages.
ββ¦β¦ Fortunately, there were no casualties" As his hearing regained, Li Zhi could hear what they were talking about" Thanks to the fact that Clark was still awake at the time, he flipped the plane over in the air. β
"There are now only four people who are capable of mobility, three in the cockpit, and one combatant who is in good posture on the plane."
"The situation is not optimistic...... We've never seen this monster before, but looking at its jaws and its claws, it's enough to pose a threat to us. β
"On top of that, there's its hard cortexβI just tried to stab it with a knife, and I got a wound when I tried my best."
"If they show up in groups, probably the only option we can do is to escape one by one."
"But how did it hit us? It's such a coincidence. β
They were discussing the source of the impact, and Li Zhi felt that he could give his own opinion on this aspect: "Come on, pull me!" β
When he spoke, there was a bloody smell in his mouth, and the sharp pain caused by the slightest movement seemed to be two or three broken ribs.
With this, there is also an unusually dry thirst in the mouth.
Prior to this, Li Zhi had always felt that the novels and TV series he had read before, and a person would need water after waking up, but it was just a plot need, but he didn't expect it to be a real plot.
"Bring me another glass of water by the way."
Now all I can do is lie flat and look aimlessly at the tent above my head.
"How much health do I have?"
[After deducting 8 points, you still have 4 points, but because the damage you received at one time is more than half of your life, you are in a state of serious injury.] γ
"If you follow the data-based ...... I shouldn't faint, this can't be a plot need, right? β
[It's not a plot need, IMHO, your fainting is entirely due to your own fear of heights caused by the self-protection mechanism, although it's useless.] γ
Very good, full marks for this explanation.
Li Zhi was silent, took the water handed by the person who came, and drank it all.
"The creature's name is Baiaki." The combatant who handed him water seemed silent, and Li Zhi opened his mouth when he was about to leave, "You help me over, I'll go see how it is now." β
The men around the campfire were still discussing, and then they saw two men coming out of the direction of the tent, one besides the one they had sent to take care of them.
ββ¦β¦ Well, we have now woken up with another wounded, that is, six people who can move. β
"First of all, in order to maintain the current temperature and prevent people from freezing to death in this kind of snow, we have to find a way to maintain the flames."
"But the risk is that the flames won't attract the monster's compatriots."
"No," Li Zhi replied to some of their worries as he sat by the campfire, "their goal is clear, they are all going to that city." β
"In that city, there is a war that no mortal can intervene in, and all we have to do is to escape from it, before the war is in its heat."
Once it entered the white-hot stage, Li Zhi was not sure that the few people present would be able to carry a few waves of overflowing spell energy.
Regarding Li Zhi's explanation, the other four people who are discussing - in fact, in the final analysis, only one person is analyzing the situation.
The other three, namely Clark, the pilot of the flight, and the gunner sisters named Hannah and Tasha are in a state of following orders.
And the person who was analyzing was called a military advisor, in Li Zhi's impression, this kind of person generally wore eyes, and it wasn't until later that he knew that he had undergone laser correction surgery a few years ago.
"Li Zhi, how did you know?" Regarding Li Zhi's family's words, the military adviser can only be summarized as a possibility, but cannot be directly recognized.
"I just came out of that city, so I naturally know" Li Zhi rolled his eyes at this question, "They go to that city just like we go on an urgent mission, and if we don't come out, we will die, and if we are late, we will die." β
"If you think they still have the chance to attack us, then the only possibility is that there are a few of them who want to hunt game on the road, just like Bakmul."
For the metaphor of Li Zhi's image, the military adviser increased the bargaining chips in the enemy's lack of initiative.
"And then there's the problem, which is that when the plane goes down, we completely lose our sense of direction, and for now, we can't orient ourselves based on the terrain, the celestial phenomena, and the GPS."
In terms of altitude, it is a plain, surrounded by trees, and the sky is obscured by dense dark clouds.
This means that if you can't find the right direction, all movement can be useless, and you may even lead people to more dangerous places.
When the military advisor said this, he was also asking Li Zhi, thinking that this person who had just fled from the city center might know how to walk, and here he had to admit that the military advisor's sixth sense was amazing.
Because Li Zhi knew exactly what the cause of this snowstorm was.
"It's very simple, the farther away you are from the city, the higher the temperature will be, after all, this snowstorm is not a natural occurrence."
"The temperature in the center of the city is probably below 30 degrees Celsius, and this temperature will gradually move closer to absolute zero with the arrival of some old ruler."
"So as soon as our teammates wake up, we have to get moving."
Because Li Zhi didn't know what the effect of the King in Yellow was at all.
But more than these problems, there is a matter that has plagued him for many years.
