Thrive in Catastrophe

"what……"

This name made Xiao Yan's heart tremble a little, and he looked at Liv puzzled.

"Mark nearly trampled the little guy to death when Colonel Burton picked it up and said 'take it to the rookie cadet'. We couldn't find a container to put it in and Mark got it all the way back by hand."

Xiao Yan did not expect that Hein would still remember what he said about liking the ocean.

Come on, Colonel Burton, wring my arm one moment and make me think beyond my control that I mean anything to you the next.

In the early morning of the second day, in the aircraft that pierced the sky, several young people in military uniforms nervously clasped the safety rails and flew to the No. [-] base. Xiao Yan was one of them.

In the main control room of the base, Heine Burton watched the holographic image silently until the aircraft's screen was switched.

Just as he turned to leave, Lieutenant Colonel Raven said slowly: "Do you think you can just be satisfied with looking at him like this?"

Heine looked at the profile of Lieutenant Colonel Raven, who was still browsing the documents carefully.

"Why, do you really think you're hiding well? I used to be your classmate."

"That's my business."

"You're going to hurt, Heine. He's too fragile, and the X virus won't stop the pain when you lose him."

"If weak, I will teach him to be strong. Goodbye, Lieutenant Colonel Raven."

Xiao Yan leaned against the window with his face sideways.

Below them are high-rise buildings that have been abandoned for hundreds of years, lifeless, old and decayed.

Due to years of weathering, the cement has already peeled off, and the steel bars are exposed in the air, like sharp knives piercing into the sky.

The aircraft passed by, and the vibration of the engine caused a certain building to collapse as if it had lost its backbone.

Xiao Yan looked out the window, opened his eyes wide, and kept imagining how prosperous the human world would be outside of "Shire" if it weren't for the "comet" virus attack.The city lights as vast as the sea of ​​stars, the magnetic levitation vehicles speeding between buildings, and the vast space without restriction...

"Hey, Xiao Yan... aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Yan looked excited.

"The first time you left Shire's aircraft, it crashed, and you were the only one who survived! If the 'Surge' organization invades our aircraft's main control system again, we will crash... and then..."

On the desolate streets, people infected with the "comet" virus swayed aimlessly. When they looked up and saw the aircraft in the sky, they swarmed up to the tallest building like ants, and stretched their arms as if to push it away. Drag into hell.Because the distance is too far, I can't see their ferocious and terrifying expressions clearly.

"We will be carve up by them, and there will be no flesh and blood left. It's not always so lucky to be rescued by the special task force, is it?" Xiao Yan clasped Lily's wrist, blinked, "So scared If not, why not do something else to divert your attention.”

Lily is Xiao Yan's contemporaneous student, the so-called face of an angel and a figure of a devil, Xiao Yan has never stopped fantasizing about her, as if she has become the only bright spot in Xiao Yan's boring student life, and Xiao Yan's friend, Kathy, a genius from the Academy of Sciences Xiao Yan has always scoffed at his taste.Now, he finally had the opportunity to ride in the same aircraft as Lily.

"Wh...what's the matter?"

Lily's palms were already covered with cold sweat. It seemed that the recent news of frequent aircraft crashes frightened her.

"Let's kiss! The hotter the better, so you don't keep fantasizing about plane crashes!"

Xiao Yan squinted his eyes, with an ambiguous smile on his lips, but his stomach was full of bad water.

Lily sighed, "Xiao Yan...you can spend half of the energy you spend on cold humor on serious business, maybe you don't have to do this task at all!"

"No... don't you think we will know what we really want only after we understand the reality?"

"Lily, don't be afraid! This time the pilots of the aircraft are seniors with the rank of captain! They are very experienced and have full experience in how to resist the 'blockers'! Their thinking will not be so easily invaded!"

The students at the side quickly comforted Lily, and gave Xiao Yan a hard look by the way.

They finally drove away from the ruins, and the ruins under them were gradually replaced by the vast green forest.

"gorgeous……"

Xiao Yan sighed.He thought of the leaf he picked up that day, and he couldn't bear to keep it in the specimen container. When he got up this morning, it was already dry and pale, and it shattered when touched lightly.

"Beautiful?" Lily looked at Xiao Yan with the eyes of a monster, "After the 'comet' virus is raging, who knows what kind of murderous intent is hidden under this beauty! Fortunately, I didn't kiss you, otherwise I would also change Be an idiot like you!"

Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders.He knows that even without the 'comet' virus, nature is ever-changing, and she will show her most terrifying fangs at her most beautiful moment at any time.

I don't know if it's because they have experienced too many twists and turns and life-and-death moments during this period, Xiao Yan suddenly felt that their voyage today would not be smooth.

Suddenly, the aircraft vibrated, and the students in the cabin shouted and grabbed hold of the safety handrails.

"Don't...don't worry...it must be an air current..."

The student who had just ridiculed Xiao Yan turned pale and comforted himself in embarrassment.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, they are flying at a low altitude, how could they be affected by the air current?Xiao Yan, who had already experienced Interceptors invading aircraft twice, felt an extremely ominous premonition in his heart.

Before he had time to think about it, the left wing of the aircraft tilted suddenly, and everyone screamed again.

The cabin broadcast made all the trainees more nervous.

"ALERT! ALERT! Left Wing Dynamism—ALERT! ALERT! Left Wing Dynamism!"

"What's going on?" Lily's hair fell on Xiao Yan's face, and her voice almost came out of her throat.

The aircraft can only rely on the right wing engine to barely hang in the air.

There was a call for help from the cab on the radio.

"Who of you come in to help! We have encountered a 'blocker' invasion! Captain Jon is no longer able to operate the system!"

Everyone was stunned!

"What... Interrupter?"

Xiao Yan closed his eyes, feeling cold in his heart—as expected, he was a blocker again.

"Is Captain Jon trapped? Is he unable to wake up..."

The trainees talked a lot, but no one turned on the safety device and went to the cab.

"What are you waiting for - I can't hold it anymore!"

The only remaining driver shouted angrily.

This group of rookies fell into silence, they were just students, if even the experienced seniors were trapped by the "blockers", even if they got into the cab, their sacrifices would be in vain.

"What to do... we will die..."

"Look... those zombies! We will be eaten by them..."

At this moment, Xiao Yan's left cheek was almost squeezed against the glass window.His eyes met the eager eyes of the zombies, and he was terrified.

They ran with the aircraft, and once they fell, Xiao Yan remembered how these guys beat the cabin frantically, exposing their bloodthirsty fangs.

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yan opened the security device.

"Xiao Yan! Where are you going!" Lily shouted loudly.

Xiao Yan crawled forward with difficulty, dragging rows of safety handrails and finally came to the front of the cockpit.

"Xiao Yan—"

"Someone of us is going! It's better to be trapped in your own head than to be eaten alive!"

"Captain—I'm Xiao Yan! I volunteer to replace Captain Jon! Please open the hatch!"

Xiao Yan walked into the cockpit, he was slightly taken aback, the host system was surrounded by almost 360 degrees, the red light on the entire left side was flashing an alarm, and Captain Jon's head was hanging on the side, and the data of the connecting device covering his head was out of order.Xiao Yan could only forcibly exit the system for Captain Jon and push him out of the cockpit.

"Boy, I'm dying!"

Xiao Yan knew that time was running out, the aircraft was descending, and those zombies were chasing it, almost jumping on it.Without any chance of hesitation, Xiao Yan put on the connection device, his mind quickly connected to the host, and the information processing began.He doesn't need any words, the intelligent system automatically responds according to his thinking, and countless information and data are like the ocean, rushing past.

If he hadn't experienced such oppression in the simulation system, Xiao Yan would probably be overwhelmed by the massive amount of information.

The red alarm on the left wing was lifted, and the aircraft slowly regained its balance. Just when the zombies jumped up and were about to hit the aircraft, the altitude suddenly rose and flew into the sky.

The students in the cabin let out a breath.

The automatic navigation was turned on, and they returned to the original route, gradually approaching the research base.

This is a magical experience. All the loose sand-like information and knowledge he has come into contact with are embodied along a certain framework, becoming a fluid in his mind that seems to be captured and touched, constantly flowing in the channel called thinking. Flowing in the middle, and finally converging to the deepest chasm.

At this moment, the senior's voice sounded in the ear.

"I'm sorry... I can't do it..."

The alarm sounded, and the aircraft tilted to the right and fell sharply.

"Senior! Senior—"

"ALERT! ALERT! RIGHT WING ENGINE FAIL--"

Xiao Yan closed his eyes, and there were data flying past in front of his eyes. No matter what flight plan he adopted, it was impossible to rely solely on the left engine.

It's too late for other students to come in and take the place of seniors!

Why must the aircraft be piloted by two people!

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, he knew it was for safety reasons.With dual pilots, once one is captured by the "blocker", at least the other can continue to fly, and now it is impossible for them to switch the aircraft to manual mode, because the system has been paralyzed.

"Prompt - Do you want to enter single-pilot mode?"

Xiao Yan's brain automatically responded, yes!

Suddenly, a heavy pressure hit the depths of his mind, and Xiao Yan's head seemed to explode in half.This is an aircraft for scientific research. If it is a simple terminal flight system, it is easy to be invaded by the "Surge" organization. Only when people's thinking is ever-changing can they overcome the disadvantages of the terminal system being easily implanted into programs.

The aircraft was about to hit the ground, and there was a shout behind it. The body crushed on the chasing zombies, crushing their bodies, and the yellow-brown slurry splashed on the window.

The moment it touched the ground, the engine on the right side suddenly started, and the aircraft smashed through the bushes and rose to an altitude of more than ten meters.

Cold sweat dripped from Xiao Yan's forehead.

They are still 15 minutes away from the research base.

Lily in the cabin covered her mouth and gagged, those corrupted bodies were completely out of human form.

The rest closed their eyes and pressed their heads against the back of the chair.

Some of them are seeing "zombies" so close for the first time, while others are reliving nightmares.

Just as Xiao Yan exhaled, his thought fortress was crumbling like sand, and his nerves were in pain like being cut.

It is a "blocker"!

Xiao Yan's heart beat wildly.

They must not relax, they are still twelve minutes away from the base!Go on!
