Under Chen Yu's orders, the "anti-cold disaster relief airship formation" bypassed the aircraft carrier ahead and continued to the mainland of Merica.
Around noon the following day, the continent of Merica, covered in ice and snow, came into view and could be seen in the distance.
The endless snow-capped mountains, frozen rivers, and silent towns create an apocalyptic scene.
Chen Yu used the excuse that everyone had been traveling for several days to signal the airship to land so that everyone could rest.
Stepping onto the land of Merica, Lin Lele said excitedly, "Sir, I just saw a small town ahead. Let's go for a look! I haven't had my feet on the ground for so many days, I've almost forgotten what it feels like to have my feet on solid ground."
"What's so interesting about visiting a ghost town that's deserted?" Chen Yu said, speechless.
"Don't mention 'ghost' to me. I get chills just hearing that word now." Lin Lele pouted and unconsciously moved closer to Chen Yu, as if seeking some comfort.
"Alright, come with me to take care of something first," Chen Yu said as he walked out.
"Going out on business? Going out on business is great! I've been cooped up in this airship for days." Lin Lele quickly followed, a hint of anticipation on her face.
Soon, the two stopped on an open space in front of the airship.
Watching several militiamen tow an F-35B fighter jet down from the airship's cargo hold, Lin Lele looked bewildered: "Sir, you said you need to use a fighter jet to get things done?"
"Why would I call you if you weren't flying a fighter jet?" Chen Yu said calmly.
"So I'm your driver then?" Lin Lele muttered under her breath, clearly dissatisfied.
However, she was still quite looking forward to it, since it had been a long time since she had piloted an F-35B fighter jet.
Despite her complaints, the light in her eyes revealed her excitement and eagerness to pilot the F-35B fighter jet. She quickly composed herself, walked to the fighter jet, and skillfully began the pre-flight checks.
"Are you ready?" Chen Yu asked.
"Of course, sir, I'm ready to go at any time," Lin Lele replied confidently, completely immersed in the excitement of her upcoming flight.
Although they had been flying in the air in airships for some time, the feeling of riding in one was completely different from the feeling of piloting it themselves, and the speed was also worlds apart.
The two walked towards the fighter jet together. Lin Lele took the lead, climbing the boarding stairs and entering the cockpit. She skillfully started the system, and the lights on various instrument panels lit up one by one, as if making final preparations for the upcoming flight ceremony.
Chen Yu sat in the back passenger seat and began final pre-flight confirmations with Lin Lele.
"Where are we going?" Lin Lele asked excitedly.
Chen Yu entered the coordinates and then said, "Just follow the coordinates."
Lin Lele nodded, her gaze fixed on the front, her hands already unconsciously on the control stick, ready to face the upcoming flight challenge at any moment.
"Sir, the coordinates have been confirmed, the flight route has been planned, and we can take off at any time," Lin Lele said confidently.
Chen Yu nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."
Lin Lele took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and then pressed the start button to activate the fighter jet's vertical takeoff function.
With the roar of the engine, a powerful jet of air shot out from the tail of the fighter jet, and the entire fuselage seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force, slowly leaving the ground.
Then, the engine flipped 90 degrees, and the fighter jet completed a magnificent turn in the air, instantly transforming into a silver lightning bolt that streaked across the sky and sped toward the coordinates entered by Chen Yu.
Lin Lele skillfully controlled the fighter jet, every movement so smooth and confident, as if she and the fighter jet had become one.
The speed of a fighter jet is indeed vastly different from that of an airship.
In less than an hour, they had covered 1,800 kilometers.
"Sir, something's not right!" Lin Lele's slightly trembling voice came through Chen Yu's earpiece, "Why does this place feel so familiar?"
"What can you possibly discern from this vast, icy plain?" Chen Yu said calmly.
"Ah~!" Lin Lele suddenly exclaimed, "No, sir, no, we're back again! Isn't that the aircraft carrier where that 'ghost' is?"
"We're in a maze! The ghost has knocked down the wall!" Lin Lele was so frightened that she talked nonsense. As she spoke, she pulled the control stick, trying to change the flight direction.
"Stop hitting me! Keep driving!" Chen Yu slapped Lin Lele's helmet, sternly stopping her panicked actions.
"Sir, we've really circled back again! This is impossible, the coordinates are clearly correct, how could this be..." Lin Lele's voice was filled with confusion and fear; she couldn't understand why such a bizarre situation had occurred.
"Is it possible that I was originally going to come here?" Chen Yu said irritably.
"What? You...you tricked me? Sir, we can't die together, otherwise there will be no one to inherit such a large business as Tianyu Base." Lin Lele was almost crying.
"Stop talking nonsense, hover ahead, and keep your distance from that aircraft carrier," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.
Although Lin Lele was filled with doubt and unease, she still followed Chen Yu's instructions and steadily hovered the fighter jet at a certain distance from the aircraft carrier, staring intently at the aircraft carrier below, her heart filled with vigilance.
Once the fighter jet had come to a stop, Chen Yu opened the cockpit canopy and leaned out.
Then, he took off his helmet.
"Hmph! Unknown neutrino life form, huh? Then let's settle this with technology against technology, the bizarre against the bizarre!" Chen Yu said coldly.
