Chapter 007: Two Minutes of High Altitude Terror_1
Life Value: 46%…47%…48%…
The pain in his chest subsided slightly…
He could actually restore Life Value!
Yi Lin was somewhat surprised, as this was an extremely rare occurrence, a novice trial perk perhaps?
The novice trial was very different from the trials of Official Apostles. Yi Lin was also experiencing the novice trial for the second time, so he wasn't very experienced.
Yi Lin donned the Wing Suit and leaped directly out of the doomed airplane!
The unmanned aircraft, in the instant Yi Lin jumped out, whizzed over his forehead!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh–"
The strong air current forced Yi Lin to barely squint his eyes open.
Provoked by the strong wind, tears streamed down Yi Lin's face.
Yi Lin had never played with a Wing Suit before, and he didn't understand why there would be such a dangerous 'toy' on this flight, but the Inside World was always filled with oddities. Who knows, he might one day encounter a world that is all multiple-choice questions.
In fact, this was the first time that Yi Lin, in a mortal body, soared thousands of meters in the high sky.
It didn't feel too bad.
Before long, Yi Lin managed to get the hang of some Wing Suit flying techniques. After all, there were no other obstacles in the vast sky, and all he needed to figure out was how to maintain balance.
However, the chaotic air currents over the sea surface caused Yi Lin quite a bit of trouble.
The vast sea surface sparkled in the night light, with tides ebbing and flowing.
Looking down from this height, the night sea and the star-filled night sky seemed somewhat similar.
"There it is!"
Yi Lin squinted his eyes, and in the distance, a tiny white dot was as clear as a firefly in the night.
That was the professional woman's white top!
Charge!
The Wing Suit could only function as a glider and would not allow Yi Lin to land safely.
Falling onto the sea surface from this height, the impact would be no different than smashing onto a steel plate.
He would die, shatter, not come back to life.
The only way to survive...
Was one!
Charge charge charge!
Yi Lin curled his body in mid-air, reducing the area of contact between the Wing Suit and the air, and like a shooting star, he flew toward the professional woman, contracting, drawing in, tightening, and bolting.
"Not so easy to control…"
Yi Lin narrowed his eyes.
…
…
"I survived! I actually survived!"
The professional woman thought back to everything that had happened on the plane and couldn't help but feel a sense of alarm.
Actually, when Blondie attacked her initially, with her Agility Attributes, she could have completely dodged it.
But the reason she still let Blondie snatch the parachute from her was because her intuition told her there was something wrong with that parachute.
Although she didn't know the identity of the mysterious force that brought her to this space, a voice seemed to tell her in her mind that as long as she was alive, she could have everything she wanted.
"This height should be about right…"
The professional woman steadied herself, ready to open her parachute…
Suddenly!
There was a sharp weight on her back as someone from behind hugged her tightly.
"Just hitching a free ride, you don't mind, do you?"
…
…
At a life-or-death moment, talking about the impropriety of physical contact between men and women is definitely scoundrel behavior.
At the very least, when Yi Lin tightly hugged the woman in mid-air, he didn't have any unhealthy thoughts.
"You!"
The woman turned her head and when she saw it was Yi Lin, a flash of horror crossed her eyes!
She never expected Yi Lin to actually catch up to her here!
It must be a joke, this was thousands of meters up in the air!
Mad! This guy was simply mad!
Boom!
Just then, the airplane, nose-diving head-first, plummeted into the distant sea!
A loud noise, followed by blazing firelight, marked the plane as it slowly sank to the sea floor.
…
[Preparatory Angel Envoy 897, dead!]
…
This was the unlucky brother who had knocked his head and passed out from the start.
Death.
Now, in this trial task for the preparatory Apostles, only two people were left.
A man.
A woman.
In midair.
Embracing tightly.
Together through thick and thin.
In any other scenario, this might have developed into a touching love story.
Unfortunately...
A flicker of annoyance passed through the professional woman's eyes...
From an unspeakably intimate part of her body, she suddenly produced...
An electric shock gun!
Just as she was about to stab Yi Lin behind her with the electric shock gun, Yi Lin seemed to have anticipated this move and firmly pressed the woman's hand with the electric shock gun.
"Oh, your second prop is an electric shock gun... You must have a high Luck Value..."
A hint of despair flashed in the woman's eyes.
"With your high Agility Attributes, I bet your Strength Attribute isn't that high either, otherwise, you wouldn't have been unable to resist Blondie's attack...
Yi Lin glanced at the hint of snowy neck behind the woman's collar and couldn't help but think of something.
Unfortunately... he didn't have a knife in his hand.
He pinched the woman's right hand holding the electric shock gun and deftly shifted his position in midair, moving in front of the woman.
They were face to face, clinging tightly to each other.
Shaking all over from their close proximity, the professional dressed woman was so angry she couldn't utter a single word.
The two were still plummeting rapidly toward the sea surface!
"If we don't deploy the parachute now, we'll both die embracing each other. If we do, we might not die. What's your choice?"
Yi Lin said with a smile.
But in his heart, he was secretly calculating the altitude and had run the physics formula three times.
Whoosh!
The parachute finally opened.
Their rate of descent finally slowed down.
However, as the parachute was only designed to hold the weight of one person, it was somewhat strained to bear the weight of two.
Taking advantage of the moment, Yi Lin casually asked, "When did you notice something was off with the guy wearing glasses?"
The woman had given up resisting by now and just let herself be held by Yi Lin.
"How did you know I realized he had a problem?"
"Your gaze. Even when you were attacked by Blondie, your fear was faked, but only when you looked at that guy with glasses did your eyes show real fear. I've seen that kind of look too much. It doesn't lie."
Indeed.
In the future, everyone has that kind of fearful look in their eyes.
Yi Lin was all too familiar with it.
"Hehe…" The woman giggled, "The initial mission briefing mentioned that there were 'five of us', but including the one who was unconscious on the ground, there were actually six people on the plane, which means, among us, there was one who wasn't a passenger, and might even... not be human."
Just the thought of one of them "not being human" was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
"Furthermore, under each of our seats in the life-saving box, there were supposed to be two props, including for the one who was unconscious. But the glasses guy's box was empty. It was hard not to suspect him."
Yi Lin laughed, "Is that all?"
The professional-dressed woman glared at Yi Lin indignantly, "What else?"
"Have you ever thought about who it was that unbuckled the unconscious passenger's seat belt? If he hadn't been unconscious, six people would have been active on the plane from the beginning, wouldn't that have felt even more inconsistent?"
The professional-dressed woman's face changed, and she suddenly felt a cold shiver all over.
The two continued to fall towards the sea at a relatively fast speed.
It was close at hand.
The parachute only partially slowed their descent.
But...
They were still embracing each other tightly.
"Now it's my turn to ask you, what's the deal with that hammer of yours?"
Yi Lin was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Secret."
"Tsk tsk, stingy man..." The woman pouted, then leaned close to Yi Lin's ear, "But, I think I'm starting to like you a bit..."
"Is that so?" Yi Lin's face was expressionless, and he gripped the professional woman's right hand even tighter.
"You like me enough... to turn on the electric shock gun?"
The woman's complexion suddenly stiffened.
...
