Chapter 213 "Seabird" Legion
Chapter 213 "Seabird" Legion
Gu Nanfeng and his group of four set off this time, so the helicopter was the smallest four-seater type. However, although the helicopter was small, it was still more than enough to carry enough food for the four of them.
Moreover, small helicopters have another advantage: they are not easily detected, whether in the air or on the ground after landing.
Along the way, they encountered several waves of bird attacks. Lin Yun even saw zombie birds, birds that were half-zombified but could still fly. Because it wasn't a helicopter like Lu Yuan's with autopilot, they could only rely on Ji Lang's superb flying skills to avoid the birds' attacks on the helicopter.
Gu Nanfeng's lightning-based ability was also very powerful in aerial combat. Compared to Ji Lang and Lin Yun's snow and wind-based abilities, as well as Pei Sihao's water-based ability, it was many times stronger. This allowed them to travel towards S City with lightning speed and sparks all the way.
Because flying over inland areas would expose them to more birds, including even fiercer and larger eagles, they said they had come all the way along China's coastline. When they were almost at the border of S City, Gu Nanfeng suddenly lost his focus during the battle, which caused a relatively large seagull to almost collide with their helicopter.
"What's wrong with you?" Pei Sihao saw Gu Nanfeng stunned, so he used his water-based ability to push the seagull away a distance. Then, because of the water and the extremely cold weather outside, the seagull froze into a block of ice and fell from the sky.
"Captain Ji, let's find a place to land here." Gu Nanfeng didn't answer Pei Sihao's question, but shouted directly to Ji Lang in the pilot's seat, and then he continued to attack the waves of seabirds flying towards them.
"Understood!" Now was not the time to ask why. Ji Lang trusted Gu Nanfeng's decision, changed the direction of the helicopter, and did not go any further. He found a suitable ice layer and landed.
After the helicopter landed, a large flock of seabirds swarmed towards them like cannonballs. Gu Nanfeng noticed that the birds, which had clearly become zombies, were basically heading straight for their helicopter without even considering turning back. And these were living birds; once they realized they were being attacked, they turned and flew away.
"How can they still be alive in such cold weather?" Pei Sihao hadn't come out since arriving at the base. He had always thought that the animals outside, except for those in the sea, had either frozen to death or become zombies, so he never imagined he would encounter so many bird attacks.
“Birds can also have special abilities.” Lin Yun said, while using his wind-based ability to blow away the zombie bird remains piled up next to the helicopter, so that the helicopter door would not be unable to be opened later.
Only after they were certain that the zombie birds had been mostly killed and that the other birds had flown away and never returned did the group finally breathe a deep sigh of relief in the cabin.
"Looking down here, it seems to be the largest amusement park in Asia in S City." Ji Lang was the first to get off the helicopter, as was his habit. After getting off, he glanced at the ice layer under his feet. The ice layer was very clear, and the amusement park buildings below looked like they were sealed in a crystal ball.
"Wow, even zombie birds have crystals." Pei Sihao was just curious at first, but he didn't expect to actually find crystals after breaking open one of the bird's heads. However, he found crystals on the next two or three birds, and they were mostly level one crystals.
"It's better than nothing." After saying that, Lin Yun also started cleaning up the battlefield with Pei Sihao. After all, they had spent so much time hunting birds, so they should at least get some crystals as payment for their labor.
"How is it? What did you feel?" After getting off the helicopter, Gu Nanfeng found a relatively high spot to observe. Ji Lang saw Pei Sihao and Lin Yun collecting crystals, so he came over to Gu Nanfeng.
“I dare not get too close, there is a psychic with stronger abilities than me over there.” Gu Nanfeng’s hand kept moving slightly, sometimes clenching and sometimes loosening. Ji Lang knew that he was releasing his mental power to probe.
"S City is in such a state, how could there still be survivors?" Ji Lang raised his hands above his head and looked into the distance. All he could see were crystal-clear ice layers, and his eyes felt uncomfortable if he looked at them for too long.
“My old man said that S City was flooded by seawater from the beginning, and everyone who was alive ran away. How could there be any survivors?” Pei Sihao and Lin Yun came over after cleaning up all the zombie birds on the ground.
“That’s right. Even if people came later, the ice layer isn’t suitable for survival, so they probably wouldn’t choose to stay here,” Lin Yun analyzed.
“That further proves that this group of people is not simple.” After Gu Nanfeng finished speaking, he withdrew his superpower and turned to look at Ji Lang. “I suspect that Lu Yuan and Yang Xiao are over there, which is why we cannot contact them using the communication system built into the protective suits.”
“But according to you, there’s a psychic over there who’s even stronger than you. We might be discovered as soon as we get close.” Pei Sihao pursed his lips. There are only two psychic abilities in the four bases. He originally thought that Gu Nanfeng’s ability was rare and powerful, but who knew that there was someone here who was even stronger than Gu Nanfeng.
"I haven't been practicing enough lately." Gu Nanfeng shook his head. He usually does research at the base, and the amount of crystals collected at the South China base isn't very abundant, so his ability improvement has become slower and slower.
"Why don't we lure the seabirds over?" Ji Lang looked up and saw several seabirds circling overhead, seemingly observing their every move.
Unlike Gu Nanfeng's civilized approach, Ji Lang had more unorthodox methods. Seeing the seabirds in the sky, he remembered that zombie birds possessed crystals, and there were many zombie birds among the seabirds. Seabirds that could mingle with zombie birds were likely also beings with special abilities, and their abilities might be quite powerful. Therefore, by blending in with these seabirds and approaching that area, they shouldn't be easily detected.
"At this moment, should I be happy that my superpower level is not as good as a seabird?" Pei Sihao instantly understood what Ji Lang meant. After all, he was also full of tricks, and compared to Gu Nanfeng and Lin Yun, his thinking was closer to Ji Lang's.
"Then let's get started." Gu Nanfeng and Lin Yun nodded. Ji Lang and Pei Sihao were responsible for coming up with ideas, while Gu Nanfeng and Lin Yun were responsible for developing a detailed execution plan.
The two men took out one of their supply cans, opened it, took out the chunks of meat inside, crushed them into small pieces, and soon they saw many seabirds gathering above their heads again.
"Put on your protective masks properly." Gu Nanfeng tapped his mask to remind the others. After all, it was a mask covering their faces, unlike the invisible thin film on Lu Yuan's mecha, so they sometimes unconsciously took off their masks.
"OK! Seabird Legion, move out!" Pei Sihao put on his mask, and his voice rang out through everyone's masks. Then they followed Gu Nanfeng, moving towards the direction where he sensed the strongest supernatural reaction.
