Just as several members of the Red Sky Alliance on the ice and snow city wall burst into laughter at the failure of the Tianyu Base's spaceship launch.

Hearing the noise, the patrol team below the city wall noticed the unusual activity on the wall. The patrol captain shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Get down here!"

"Cousin...cousin, we...we just wanted to see how Tianyu Base failed."

"Yes, yes, Captain Zhang, we're here to see Tianyu Base make a fool of itself."

"Yes, yes, we came to see the fireworks show."

Several members of the Red Sky Alliance stammered as they tried to explain themselves and excuse their actions.

However, the guard captain Zhang Lei's expression did not soften; instead, it became even more stern.

"Enough! As members of the Red Sky Alliance, you have disregarded the alliance's laws and regulations, and dared to climb over the city wall to peek at prohibited content. This is an unforgivable crime! I order you to come down here immediately and accept trial!" Zhang Lei's voice was as cold and ruthless as ice.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people on the city wall turned pale instantly.

"Cousin, I'm your cousin!"

"Cousin? So what if he's your own son? The rules of the Red Sky Alliance cannot be broken!" Zhang Lei interrupted him mercilessly, his gaze sharp as he scanned every violator. "You are members of the Red Sky Alliance, enjoying its protection. Since you have violated the rules here, you must be prepared to face judgment!"

The members of the Red Sky Alliance looked at each other, feeling both terrified and regretful.

They knew that once they were publicly tried, they would face the harshest punishment, and it was uncertain whether they would even survive.

"Go, capture them!" Seeing that the men hadn't moved yet, Zhang Lei gave the order, and the patrolmen acted swiftly. They were well-trained and agile, and soon climbed the snow-covered city wall.

Zhao Fugui, the Red Sky Alliance member who had been brutally beaten earlier, was about to be arrested. Thinking of his terrible fate, an unprecedented sense of despair and resentment welled up within him. He caught sight of a protruding icicle on the edge of the city wall, and a crazy idea flashed through his mind.

"I can't just be taken away like this!" Zhao Fugui muttered to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Just as the patrolmen were about to touch him, he suddenly exerted his strength, using the icicles on the city wall to flip and leap onto the snowfield outside the city wall.

The patrol members were stunned by this sudden turn of events. They quickly peered down and saw Zhao Fugui trace an arc in the air before crashing into the snow below the city wall, creating a deep crater.

Snow dust swirled, and Zhao Fugui's figure appeared and disappeared in the snow mist.

Furthermore, perhaps due to the impact of the explosion of the Sky Ship on the weather in a small area, the entire Anping was shrouded in thick white fog, severely affecting the visibility of the patrol team members.

Upon seeing this, the patrol members did not hesitate and quickly raised their guns, firing a series of bullets into the snow pit.

"Da da da~"

Then, they hurriedly climbed down the city wall to check on Zhao Fugui's condition.

However, when they arrived at the edge of the pit, they found that Zhao Fugui was no longer there.

There wasn't even a trace of crimson in the snow pit; they had run out of bullets.

"He got away!" a patrolman exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei's face darkened even further.

He never expected that Zhao Fugui would have such courage and determination to jump off the city wall and successfully avoid the patrol team's gunfire.

"Search him! He must be somewhere nearby!" Zhang Lei roared. He knew that Zhao Fugui was seriously injured and couldn't have gone too far.

The patrol team members quickly dispersed and began searching for Zhao Fugui's whereabouts on the snowfield.

The members of the Red Sky Alliance on the city wall shook their heads slightly when they saw Zhao Fugui choose to run away at this time.

If Zhao Fugui had obediently accepted the trial, he might have had a chance to save his life. But by running away, the nature of the case has completely changed!

This constitutes desertion, a capital offense.

However, not everyone thought so. One of them had a sudden thought: most of the patrol team members had gone after Zhao Fugui, leaving the defenses relatively weak.

Since Zhao Fugui was able to escape in front of so many people, he might as well try it.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the fact that the patrolmen were focused on the vast snowfield below the city wall, he leaped off the wall.

However, what he hadn't noticed was that Zhao Fugui was able to jump off the high city wall unharmed not only because of the snow below as a cushion, but also because he used a piece of icicle protruding from the edge of the city wall as a foothold.

But he lacked such preparation and judgment.

He fell heavily onto the snow with a dull thud.

His mind went blank, and his body felt as if it were being torn apart, the pain unbearable.

"This is no place to stay!" he reminded himself, forcing himself to stand up despite the excruciating pain.

"Da da da~"

As a series of gunshots rang out, the man who had tried to escape like Zhao Fugui fell completely into the snow pit.

He was ultimately a step too late.

The patrol members quickly gathered around, and a cold smile appeared on their faces as they looked at the violator lying in the snow pit, already lifeless.

…………

At Tianyu Base, the base's residents were still reeling from the shock of the failed launch of the spaceship.

The enormous explosion not only shook their eardrums but also their souls.

They looked up at the sky, and the spaceship that should have been soaring through the heavens was now nothing but wreckage and dust, like a shattered dream.
