Chapter 1373 - 706: Liang Yuan Takes Action
Obviously, when the Yangshan R&D personnel initially designed the spaceship, they misjudged the terror and thickness of the thundercloud.
So the matched energy was not sufficient.
There was originally a plan B, which was that if the spaceship could smoothly pass through the thundercloud, it could then dive into a nearby floating island to explore and mine for superpower stones, thus naturally supplementing the spaceship’s energy.
However, the terrible environment above the Celestial Abyss exceeded the R&D personnel’s imagination.
No one expected that just entering the Celestial Abyss world, they would be besieged by mutant beasts without a moment to catch their breath.
As for the flying saucer inside the thundercloud, it was even more unexpected.
No one could have foreseen that within this terrifying thundercloud, there would be a flying saucer!
Whoosh—!
Yangshan No. 1 plummeted rapidly, and in just three minutes, it instantly broke through the clouds and finally saw the vast snowfield below!
At the same time, a piercing radar alarm sounded.
"Alert! Unknown creature approaching!"
"It’s now!"
"Power system, activate!"
Buzz!
In an instant, the power system was directly activated, and the falling speed suddenly slowed down.
Yet at this moment, the flying saucer was already close by!
A terrifying thunder bomb roared over with a bang!
Rumble!
In an instant, the thunder bomb directly hit Yangshan No. 1.
Fortunately, Yangshan No. 1’s defense shield was always on. However, even so, the outer golden armor talisman array was instantly blasted open by the thunder bomb.
The Spirit Turtle Shield inside shook a few times but did not shatter.
The entire Yangshan No. 1 was blasted forward quite a distance by the shell.
The two sides distanced themselves again!
Fei Kang frantically maneuvered the engines, rapidly changing directions, constantly rushing downward.
He shouted, "Report to the tower!"
Jiang Hui hurriedly opened the channel, anxiously shouting, "Tower, tower, this is Yangshan No. 1; we are being pursued by an unknown flying saucer, requesting support! Requesting support!"
A crackling sound came, and the tower’s voice came through.
"Yangshan No. 1, this is the tower; you can stop now."
Fei Kang, Xu Huang, and others were suddenly taken aback.
The next moment, they heard the tower’s voice: "Mr. Liang has already gone to meet you; now, you should be safe."
Inside the spaceship, the people were stunned for a moment, not yet caught up on what was happening.
Suddenly, the sky twisted.
A huge spatial rift suddenly appeared.
Before Fei Kang and the others could react, the spatial rift instantly devoured them!
And that flying saucer was also rapidly decelerating!
Without another word, it suddenly turned and left.
Amidst the void, a silhouette stood.
The silhouette saw the rapidly retreating flying saucer and revealed a slight cold smile.
"Since you’ve come, don’t leave."
The person reached out and pressed towards the void.
In an instant, the void plunged into darkness.
In the sky, it was as if a giant mouth had opened wide, pitch-black inside, rapidly expanding and instantly swallowing the flying saucer.
The flying saucer immediately flashed with intense lightning rays, attempting to dispel the darkness.
However, under that enveloping darkness, the range kept expanding.
Even the space ahead suddenly began to warp.
The next moment, the flying saucer was directly swallowed by the twisted space!
Liang Yuan’s figure flickered and also disappeared from the original place.
Inside the Sumeru Space, dark attribute energy pervaded.
It was pitch black here, and two spaceships were quietly stopped in place.
The lifeforms inside the spaceships had all become shadows, unable to interact with any physical objects.
Liang Yuan came first to Yangshan No. 1’s side, scanning with his eyes.
He saw Fei Kang, Xu Huang, and the others looking around in terror, but they could only see darkness.
They reached out to touch the spaceship but felt nothing.
"Where is this?"
"What’s happening to us?"
"Fei Kang? Xu Huang! Where are you?"
"I’m here!"
"I’m here too!"
They called out to each other a few times, able to hear each other’s sounds.
But still couldn’t see or touch anything.
Xu Huang tried to activate his superpower, suddenly showing a look of shock.
"I can’t use my superpower!"
Upon hearing this, Fei Kang and the others were startled and immediately tried to activate their superpowers as well.
However, they discovered that except for Fei Kang, who was a Spirit Ability User and could still use his spiritual power, the others couldn’t activate their superpowers.
"Fei Kang, do you sense any danger?" Song Fei asked quickly.
Fei Kang replied, "No. It seems very safe here."
"By the way, before we were sucked in, didn’t the tower say we could stop? Mr. Liang had come to meet us?"
"Could this be related to Mr. Liang?"
As they were puzzled, they heard a voice saying: "Come out."
Startled, before they could react, they suddenly felt a brightness in front of them.
Light shone over, and they unexpectedly found themselves from that darkness in the experimental site of the Yangshan R&D Department!
"What is going on?"
Xu Huang asked in shock, looking around.
They saw Li Hanzhong and others from the R&D Department below.
As the cabin door opened, they bewilderedly walked out of the stairs.
In the next moment, Liang Yuan at the front of the crowd took the lead and began to clap.
Seeing this, others also started clapping and cheering.
Liang Yuan smiled and looked at the five of them, saying: "Congratulations, you have completed this mission!"
Li Hanzhong also walked over and shook hands with the five of them one by one.
"Congratulations, you all have completed this test flight mission. From today, you are members of Yangshan."
"By the way, Mr. Liang plans to organize a batch of pilots next. If you are willing, you can stay on as flight instructor trainers."
"Additionally, we need to conduct a check-up on your bodies, and we need you to report the situation inside the Thundercloud."
In their dazed state, Li Hanzhong and others have already arranged everything for them.
They just blindly followed orders, but they roughly understood what was happening in their minds.
They survived!
And completed the mission!
From now on, they will be members of Yangshan, and not only that, but great fortune awaits them!
They are going to become flight instructor coaches!
They no longer need to struggle for livelihood, no longer need to wake up early every day to fish.
They can also, like the residents of Yangshan, enjoy the delicious meals from the cafeteria in the complex.
Their families can also rest easy without fear.
A single adventure brought them such abundant rewards!
At this moment, they felt like they were dreaming.
After arranging Xu Huang and the others for check-ups, Liang Yuan spoke: "Go call the people from the Inspection Department."
Li Hanzhong asked: "Mr. Liang, about that UFO?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "It’s an aircraft from another faction."
"I need Minister Zhuang and the Inspection Department to come over for a sudden interrogation."
Saying that, he waved his hand and opened the Sumeru Space, while several men and women wearing Sealing Energy Necklaces looked around in terror.
Obviously, they didn’t realize what had happened.
Li Hanzhong and others looked over and saw them wearing standard uniforms.
The women were in white tight-fitting latex battle armor, and the men were in leather garments of the same material.
Their clothes bore a sun-like emblem.
At a glance, they were from the same place.
"Who are you! How dare you attack us! Don’t you know who we are?"
"Let us go! We are the Golden Crow Army, you dare capture us? Are you courting death?"
Several men and women immediately threatened Liang Yuan and others.
Liang Yuan looked at them: "Golden Crow Army? Which faction do you belong to? Where are you from?"
"What do you think you are, get your leader over here!" someone shouted.
"I’m telling you, if you dare to touch us, you’re dead, the entire Shelter will be buried with us!"
"Don’t believe it, look at our spaceship, and you should realize our strength!"
"Kid, we’ve got people in sea, land, and air, you’d better be smart and let us go!"
These people threatened Liang Yuan and others with stern faces.
They had often used this tactic during their explorations outside.
Ordinary factions, once they saw their spaceship, would know the power behind their faction.
The contents of Superpower Technology in this UFO, capable of traveling through the Thundercloud, couldn’t possibly be invented by ordinary forces.
A normal Shelter, with any sense, wouldn’t dare to offend them.
Liang Yuan smiled, not wasting words with these people, and simply said: "Take them down to let the Inspection Department interrogate them."
Li Hanzhong nodded slightly and immediately had these people taken away, handed over to Zhuang Shuyuan’s Inspection Department for interrogation.
Everyone next focused their gaze on the UFO not far away.
This aircraft looked much like the UFOs from science fiction movies.
The entire structure is white metal material, with many wedge-shaped runes carved on the exterior, resembling ancient wedge-shaped writing rather than oracle bone script.
Li Hanzhong and others studied it for a long time, tapping and knocking, all with faces full of wonder.
"Strange, really strange." Li Hanzhong murmured incessantly.
Liang Yuan asked: "Professor Li, is the shape of this UFO strange?"
"It’s not the shape, it’s the material used. It looks metallic but isn’t made of copper, iron, gold, silver, or any of these elements. The material is very special."
"And the runes on it don’t match the style of runes we have around here."
"Our characters are like ancient oracle bone script, but these characters seem like wedge-shaped text structure."
"Can we open it up and take a look inside?" Li Hanzhong asked Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "I don’t know where the switches are. We’ll wait for the interrogation results from the Inspection Department."
Li Hanzhong nodded, then sighed: "Unexpectedly, there’s a faction that’s already developed such aircraft."
"We seem to be quite behind."
Liang Yuan replied with a nod: "That’s not surprising, as elevations are higher in the northwest direction."
"When our area was flooded, they might not have been completely submerged, making it possible to organize manpower for disaster relief."
"Rescuing various scientific equipment and all kinds of high-precision instruments."
"Now, I’m curious if there’s still an official organization in the northwest direction."
Li Hanzhong shook his head slightly: "It’s hard. Given it’s an apocalypse, there will surely be many ambitious people."
"Those who snatch a Floating Island, who would still want to be under someone else’s remote control, have long established themselves as kings."
"Look at the situation with Guangfu Military, it’s pretty clear."
Liang Yuan nodded, indeed that’s the way.
The key is, chaos didn’t occur previously because individual combat power was weak, and bladed tools, firearms were strictly controlled.
However, the emergence of Superpower Users has long disrupted the previous layout.
Why would powerful Superpower Users willingly be under others’ control?
Thus, under the massive flooding, the concept of nation likely had already collapsed.
Now survival is based on various mountains and islands.
But no matter what, knowing that above the vast flood, there are still so many forces existing, so many humans alive.
Liang Yuan felt quite pleased. At least in this evolutionary apocalypse, humans haven’t been completely left behind.
As for whether humans can reestablish themselves at the top of the food chain and dominate this planet, it depends on whether the next stage of evolution proceeds smoothly.
