Xu Anhua and his soldiers stared blankly through the porthole at the wreckage of the plane that hadn't struggled at all and had simply crashed and exploded.

A feeling of extreme disappointment welled up inside me.

Not only were they frustrated, but Liu Kai was also quite frustrated.

After all, they were too far apart, and with so many people around, he couldn't stop the two pilots from committing suicide.

Besides feeling depressed, I was also filled with boundless confusion and bewilderment.

That's China's most advanced attack helicopter: the Z-25.

Soldiers who are selected for special operations teams and who can also pilot such advanced aircraft.

At the very least, they should thoroughly investigate three generations of ancestors and their ideology and politics to ensure there are no problems.

I cannot guarantee that every soldier is of impeccable character, but at the very least, they are absolutely loyal.

How could someone suddenly betray you?

Moreover, Xu Anhua, who was in charge, couldn't even see the slightest sign of trouble on a regular basis.

Liu Kai's enhanced and incredibly clear thinking was working at lightning speed.

We quickly arrived at two possible scenarios!

The first scenario is less likely.

They did not betray Liu Kai; instead, they received a secret order from a higher level to shoot down the plane he was on.

The second scenario is more likely.

That was the work of the so-called "Destiny" family.

Now assume a condition.

Let's assume for now that the "Destiny" family is truly as they claim: they were once "masters of various countries" and beings transcending the world.

Such an existence must have some means that are incomprehensible to ordinary people as its foundation.

Let's make another bold assumption.

Could this "method" be some kind of forceful control over other people's thoughts?

Those two soldiers were innocent victims who were being controlled.

Although all of this was based on Liu Kai's reasoning and speculation according to the existing conditions, it was not entirely random guessing.

He has evidence!

When Xu Anhua and his group first came to pick him up, "Sixth Sense" did not sense any danger.

It wasn't until long after takeoff that my "sixth sense" suddenly gave me a warning.

That is, the warning only lasts for a short 2 seconds.

The pilot of Feijiao 4 suddenly stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

Then, he decisively maneuvered the aircraft to suddenly climb the altitude, unlocked the weapons, and prepared to attack.

Under Liu Kai's scanning, the airplane screen remained unchanged, and the earpiece speakers did not vibrate at all.

in other words.

Neither pilot received any new instructions throughout the entire flight.

This is why Liu Kai believes the first guess is less likely.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his anus.

He believed that he had the means to overcome any real threat, since even a nuclear bomb couldn't kill him.

But for things like thought, brain, and mental power, which are intangible and ethereal, they are not.

I didn't really have a concrete idea in my mind.

After all, these things are too mysterious, and even have a touch of metaphysics.

If the "Destiny" family he is about to face truly possesses such means.

Whether it's someone with special abilities like him, or someone using advanced technology, they pose a significant threat.

After frowning for a while, Liu Kai finally relaxed his furrowed brows.

Since there's no way to avoid it, then face it bravely.

He just hoped that his brain, which had been strengthened along with his body, would work its magic and not fall into a trap by accident!

...

Liu Kai was unaware that he had actually guessed half of the truth.

If the "Destiny" family knew what Liu Kai was thinking at this moment, they would be greatly astonished.

Then you have to slap yourself hard several times.

Not only did the assassination mission fail, but it also led to the discovery of crucial information.

This is truly a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

Of course, you can't just say things like that, and besides, no one would believe you anyway.

Liu Kai remained silent, while Xu Anhua and others were heartbroken.

In the ensuing silence, the remaining four helicopters continued their journey without stopping.

At 5 a.m., a sliver of dawn finally appeared on the dark horizon where the torrential rain had poured down.

This also means that Liu Kai has arrived at the first stop of his trip: Jinling City, Jiangsu Province.

This is also the location of the Eastern Theater Command headquarters.

Looking down at the magnificent city through the porthole, Liu Kai was momentarily stunned.

Although he knew the city was no longer the frozen place it once was.

But no one could have imagined that this place would become a vast expanse of water!

The Earth's temperature is extremely high now, and it's even said that temperatures near the equator have reached a terrifying 55 degrees Celsius.

Heavy rainfall fell to the ground, only to be evaporated by the high temperatures and return to the clouds.

This cycle repeats itself, resulting in relentless torrential rain.

When the cold wave hit, the city's drainage system was almost completely shattered by the expanding ice.

The torrential rain, which lasted for two whole months, was completely ineffective.

It can be said that the height submerged by ice in the past is now submerged by floods.

The Yangtze River, which is highly recognizable, has long lost the distinction between the riverbank and the river surface.

Only the top of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge can be faintly seen above the water.

The rainwater, polluted by silt and dirt, turned a blackish-yellow color, soaking the entire city.

The only saving grace is that the water is flowing and won't cover the mountains with a thick layer of ice.

But the entire city has been submerged and looks like this.

Compared to when it was covered in ice, it was actually less suitable for human habitation.

During urban flooding, the raging beasts infected with the virus rarely appear.

Moreover, Nanjing is far from the sea and is rarely attacked by ferocious sea monsters.

But there is a greater danger here.

Large numbers of corpses, frozen in ice, decomposed rapidly after thawing and warming up.

Therefore, these black and yellow floodwaters contain not only garbage, car wrecks, and human remains.

There are even various unseen deadly bacteria, viruses, and hazardous chemical toxins...

The stench was overwhelming, and swarms of mosquito, fly, snake, and ant larvae bred and roamed within.

In this situation, anyone who wants to survive would not rashly wade through the water to the outside world.

Instead, they choose to retreat to relatively safe and officially managed shelters.

But those survivors who didn't get into the shelters during the ice age were in a much worse situation.

After such a wave of natural disasters, those who could barely survive on their remaining food supplies are now in dire straits.

They either died from heatstroke or other diseases and plagues, or from lying down and contracting viral infections, or from starving to death.

Of course, many others die from poor living conditions.

After all, the sky was filled with rain, but they couldn't get a single drop of clean water.

A month after the initial cold wave hit, the official human survival rate was estimated to be around 10%.

It's probably already plummeted to around 3%!

A full 208 days have passed since the cold wave arrived.

In Liu Kai's previous life, the entire Earth was still frozen at this time.

He was huddled in his room, trembling with fear, barely surviving.

If you were to throw his past self into the present environment, he would most likely die on the spot.
