Chapter 269: Chapter 203: Plane Crash!
Soon, Lin Hao and his group in their four-wheeler met Mr. Li Sr. leading the "Route 11 bus" outside the airport.
This location was still a distance from the departure hall, and passengers had to walk this stretch themselves.
This world was quite different from Lin Hao’s previous life; the cities were surrounded by walls.
Furthermore, the cities were not directly adjacent to one another.
According to what Lin Hao learned from the City Management Team, this situation was caused by the unstable space outside the city.
When traversing outside the city, sometimes if you’re not careful, you might unknowingly step into a martial arts world clad in coarse cloth, and before you can experience the customs of that world, a few more steps could lead you to a zombie siege amidst a mountain of corpses.
Escaping a little further, you might fall into a fully automated pork canning factory, processed as raw material...
These situations are not just strange tales but are derived from materials recovered by the City Alliance containing self-recording and world-positioning properties.
The Receptacle holding this Contained Object was a man keen on recording bedroom pleasures when he left the city but was exiled after being punished. By the time this object’s location returned to the City Alliance, the man was reduced to merely a brain preserved in a vat.
The pale white brain, somehow processed by some technology, was still alive.
But the brain wasn’t important; the recorded images it brought back were very important.
Based on analysis, those bizarre worlds should be incomplete dungeon worlds. Unlike the dungeon worlds that descend with task completion options, entering and exiting these are entirely random.
This randomness poses a significant risk for people leaving the city.
The skies of this world naturally have similar issues.
A stable air route is carved out through trial and error over lives and aided by Extraordinary Power, and the high fees are unsurprising to most people.
And naturally, leaving River Debris City’s airport is also subject to control.
But now, the control situation at River Debris City’s airport is noticeably different from usual.
Outside the airport, armed security personnel were already patrolling with live ammunition. Lin Hao even recognized a few familiar figures from people he had seen at the River Debris City Management Team.
"Give me a five-star rating please! If you’re not sure how to do it, hand me your phone, I’ll do it for you."
Parking the car, the experienced driver gestured, indicating he could assist if Lin Hao couldn’t handle it.
As an experienced driver, he was well aware customers often promised "sure, sure" in the car but "forgot all about it" once they got off.
To get a good rating, you must ask for it face to face.
But the moment they parked, armed security tapped on the driver’s side window.
"You can’t park here! Thank you for your cooperation!"
"I’m just dropping someone off, no need to thank me for cooperating."
The experienced driver looked at the dark gun barrel pointed at him and swallowed.
Good ratings weren’t important.
Forget it, forget it.
The experienced driver gestured for Lin Hao and his group to get out quickly.
Damn it.
Please don’t discharge accidentally!
As someone who frequented karaoke bars, the seasoned driver knew all too well that careless handling of a gun could easily lead to accidental discharge, a truth he had personally experienced many times.
With a gun pointed at him, he couldn’t gamble his life and livelihood on the assumption it wouldn’t go off.
If it went off, he would be the one to die.
He hadn’t even smoked the whole pack of cigarettes he just got through extortion!
Lin Hao and his group quickly got out of the car and grabbed their luggage from the trunk. The experienced driver slammed on the gas pedal, stylishly drifting back onto the overpass.
"Please show your tickets. If you don’t have a ticket for today, please leave and do not approach the airport." The armed security personnel addressed Lin Hao’s group with a strictly business demeanor.
Mr. Li had already stepped forward, slightly nodding:
"Officer, hello, we are together. My private plane is parked at the airport, and we’ll be leaving shortly."
"Even so, you’ll need to show your documents, and the departure information needs to be registered." The armed security personnel remained stern.
Before Lin Hao and the others could find their documents, a particularly plump City Management personnel in the security squad stepped forward, his flesh jiggling with each step.
He patted the security personnel, signaling them to step back as he handled the situation.
"Milk Tea Master, I’m on duty right now, so I won’t chat much. You’re Captain Xiyu’s friend; Captain Xiyu already briefed us on your itinerary. You’re all set to leave whenever."
After deciding with Li Chuchu to temporarily leave River Debris City, Lin Hao naturally informed Xiyu, not expecting Xiyu to especially notify his colleagues.
"I appreciate it. Next time when you’re not on duty, let’s have a few drinks, and please pass my regards to Captain Xiyu."
During his days in River Debris City, Lin Hao got accustomed to their wine and cultural offerings, understanding a bit about wines, but the offerings...
He’s a righteous gentleman who loves cultivation!
Of course, although he didn’t know who the other party was, it didn’t stop Lin Hao from taking out several boxed milk tea packages from his Storage Bag.
"Brothers have been working hard, please help distribute these."
The staff of the River Debris City Management Team were familiar with the effects of Lin Hao’s milk tea. The Extraordinary standing before Lin Hao thought for a moment and skipped the formalities of receiving New Year’s gift money, accepting it directly.
"Milk Tea Master, it’s a critical time now, so I won’t be polite. My name is Cotton Candy."
Cotton Candy, the Extraordinary on duty at the airport today, was aware of the situation affecting the whole city under the influence of Extraordinary Power, though unaware of the reason and aware of their head captain’s disappearance status.
Unknown enemies are the most terrifying.
Faced with a support tool that could restore power to themselves and their colleagues, naturally, there was no need to refuse.
More power means more safety.
In the world of the Extraordinary, power always comes with all sorts of surprises.
Just as Cotton Candy accepted Lin Hao’s milk tea, a voice of panic from the tower broadcast personnel rang through the airport’s highest authority headset.
"The plane is crashing!"
"The plane is crashing!"
Cotton Candy spun around and looked toward the airport, spotting a plane in the sky spinning and diving toward the ground like executing a diving maneuver.
Crash hard enough, and there’ll be no survivors!
"Catapult!"
Cotton Candy shouted loudly, and not far away, a burly man sprinted forward, slid into position, and began transforming into an ancient siege engine-like catapult.
Without a word, Cotton Candy flipped himself into the catapult’s projectile slot.
Once standing firm in the projectile slot, Cotton Candy’s round body developed stone-like patterns.
"Launch!"
With a commanding shout, Cotton Candy, who had just been accepting gifts in front of Lin Hao, holding milk tea box, rushed toward the crashing plane like a siege stone.
Speed was extremely fast.
Though Lin Hao didn’t know what Cotton Candy would do once launched, he released Divine Thought, ready to assist at any moment.
In Lin Hao’s perception, as Cotton Candy approached the spinning aircraft, he fiercely spat forward.
Lin Hao clearly sensed with Divine Thought that the previously spinning and smoking plane, upon contact with Cotton Candy’s spit, lost its original hard steel texture and instead became like a cotton candy-shaped plane, slowing significantly...
In the air, it began drifting and floating.
Soon, heads began "popping out" from the cotton candy-textured plane, shouting "wah ah ah ah!".
Really? Extraordinary Power is indeed peculiar.
As Lin Hao marveled, the team member known as Catapult transformed back into human form, clutching his waist, pale-faced, and got up from the ground.
"Oh oh oh!"
"Cotton Candy, I want to switch partners with you, even an iron waist can’t withstand your weight!"
Seeing Catapult holding his waist, looking exhausted, Lin Hao casually took out a bag of "Goji Berry Red Date-flavored" milk tea from the Storage Bag.
"Brother, have a sip."
Catapult, knowing the effects of Lin Hao’s milk tea, thanked him, tore open the packaging, and poured it into his mouth, chewed, swallowed.
Face immediately looked better, feeling capable again.
It’s just this Goji Berry Red Date-flavored milk tea powder, however chewed...
Feels a bit presumptuous!
This outer-city Milk Tea Master, won’t misunderstand anything, right?
Catapult: "Milk Tea Master, I’m very strong."
Lin Hao: "Yeah, yeah."
Catapult: "You don’t know, Cotton Candy weighs over 800 pounds, I can launch him in one go, if it were a girl under a hundred pounds, I’d take her soul..."
Before Catapult could justify himself, Mr. Li Sr., who had been watching the whole process, stepped forward and covered Li Chuchu’s ears:
"Stop, stop! You youngsters in broad daylight, don’t get all steamy, the old man can’t bear watching it!"
