Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 94 Deviation from the Track

"That suit of armor looks pretty futuristic, but what about its energy? We can't solve the energy problem right now. Even if we just imagine it based on science fiction movies, it can't support high-intensity aerial combat."

There are also basic issues such as materials and earthquake resistance. The professor, who hadn't been very optimistic about Wu Ou's rescue operation from the start, shook his head.

"He must have done everything he could to hold off that golden eagle for now!"

"We should choose the option that maximizes our chances of survival!" he said, already strapping on his parachute and approaching the cabin door.

"Teach me how to skydive." He looked at the guard beside him.

"If we jump down now, we'll be inside the Snow City area. And this place isn't far from the coordinates given by the Northern Base. We might even encounter a small base here!" Another professor said, making the same choice.

"Co-pilot, is there really no way for us to land safely at our destination?" At this moment, Xiao Qiao suddenly asked.

The co-pilot looked very conflicted, but still said, "Yes, we can't guarantee that the golden eagle won't catch up before we land."

Based on the golden eagle's previous reaction, it's easy to conclude that without the people from the northern base holding it back, it would surely perish if it caught up.

"No need to hesitate, let's all jump! We've all brought our communicators. If we can rendezvous, let's do it together first. If not, let's focus on surviving and then find a chance to head to the northern base," Professor Liu said at this moment.

This helped everyone make up their minds.

The guard breathed a sigh of relief. "Listen up, everyone. Use parachutes for safety. Be sure to pay attention..."

High in the sky, at close range, Wu Ou suddenly lengthened the energy blade in his hand and stabbed it into the golden eagle's nostril.

boom!

An energy explosion forced him to retreat a distance.

The golden eagle, in pain, cried out and flapped its wings rapidly, creating a chaotic airflow in an attempt to make Wu Ou lose his balance.

However, this revealed the flaw that Wu Ou had been waiting for.

The propulsion devices on its feet unleashed a powerful thrust, propelling it through the chaotic air currents and into front of the golden eagle in an instant.

This time, half of Wu Ou's body went into the golden eagle's mouth.

Having already aimed in the right direction, his right arm once again transformed into an energy emitter.

boom!

An energy blast entered the golden eagle's brain from its mouth, shattering its head.

As the pressure on his body disappeared, a downward pulling force followed. Without hesitation, Wu Ou crawled up the golden eagle's neck and into its body.

Here, at the Northern Base.

Coach Li is waiting for Wu Ou's feedback, or perhaps a signal from the plane.

He paced restlessly back and forth in the office.

"Old Li, stop swaying. Your swaying is making me uneasy." Commander Tian also stood up, looking nervous.

"How can I not be nervous? You said someone from the capital was coming, but..."

"But it's not our fault! We built the barrier system precisely to protect the airspace above the northern base, right? We don't even dare to conduct high-altitude aircraft transport here, but the capital..." Commander Tian sighed.

Is it that people in the capital are highly skilled and daring, or that they were just unlucky?

In the past few months, the northern base has not suffered any attacks from powerful bird-like mutant beasts, at most some attacks from flocks of birds.

Even if we can't say we completely annihilated them, relying on air defense weapons, we can still consider it a great victory.

If they weren't afraid of a sudden aerial beast horde attack by avian mutant beasts of the Beast King level, they wouldn't have been in such a hurry to build a barrier system.

Of course, they also understand that this is just a prerequisite. Only when this is completed can subsequent miniaturization and flexible application be accelerated, thereby restoring long-range air transport capabilities.

"You know Wu Ou's abilities; he killed the Beast King before! This time, there will definitely be no problem!" Commander Tian continued to persuade him, thinking that Wu Ou was the one going to rescue people this time.

"I understand everything you're saying, but my heart..." Coach Li pointed to his heart and couldn't help but sigh.

It's like knowing all along that your wife is pregnant with a son, even though all previous checkups were normal.

However, when labor is imminent, there is still a sense of worry.

Drop drop drop-

"What news!" Upon hearing the signal reception notification, Instructor Li rushed to the communications officer's side.

"Translating..."

The correspondent also swallowed nervously.

Then, the result came out—

"We will be landing in five minutes. Please proceed with instructions."

"Great! They've arrived safely!" Coach Li slapped the table, unable to contain his smile.

"Hahaha, I told you Wu Ou was reliable! Quick, quick! Notify the airport to get ready!" Commander Tian's smile widened.

Meanwhile, under rows of white parachutes, elderly professors, following the instructions of their guards, were struggling to control their parachutes as they descended towards a relatively open area.

Soon, several people landed first and, following the guards' instructions, cut the ropes in time to avoid suffocating.

They crawled out from under the umbrella and pressed the buttons on their communicators.

"I am……"

On a snowdrift by the river, Xiao Qiao slid down the snow slope, cut the rope, and then discovered that several snow wolves had just walked out of the woods.

After successfully landing on the ground at the northern base, guided by the guidance lights, the team made their way to the ground.

Both the captain and the flight attendant breathed a sigh of relief.

The co-pilot jumped with the plane, partly to ensure the safety of the professors after landing and partly to report the situation back to the authorities.

But they were clearly lucky too, and landed successfully.

"I wonder how that person is doing." The captain recalled the sci-fi armor he had glimpsed and couldn't help but marvel.

Could it be that the Northern Base has truly surpassed the Capital Base in this regard?

On the ground, seeing the cabin door open but only the flight attendants emerge, the smile on Coach Li's face froze instantly.

Fortunately, the captain appeared quickly, giving him a suitable person to question.

"I am Li Zaiming, comrade, what's going on here?"

"Hello, Instructor Li. This is Captain Pei Yun. We encountered an attack from a Beast King-level mutated beast in the air, and it was your men who drew its attention."

As for the others, they chose to parachute over the southern part of the North South region as a precaution.

"I never even expected the plane to land safely!" Pei Yun grasped Coach Li's hands, his excitement genuine.

"Um...can we confirm their location now?" Coach Li wanted to say, "You should trust Wu Ou's abilities."

But he also understood that the other party's choice was very rational.

Now, all we can do is find them as soon as possible.

"Oh right, this is what Professor Liu left for me before he jumped. It should be able to receive signals from the communication devices they carry." Pei Yun quickly took out a device that looked like a large full-screen mobile phone.

Coach Li took the item, nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. We'll contact people immediately to start the search. You've all worked hard, so please take a break!"
