Chapter 467: The City in the Sky Disappeared?!
Every "experience class student" has a "flying snake" as a battle pet.
This Zerg has cicada-wing-like wings and can reach a body length of 4 meters. There are natural drift glyphs on its wings. It has a triangular snake head, venom fangs and a forked tongue in its mouth, so it is called a "flying snake".
Although this appearance is a little ugly, the "flying snake" is a vegetarian and can survive by eating grass.
The upper limit of its racial value is approximately level three, and the strongest individual can reach level four.
Many students received a flying snake each and started feeding it with excitement. They had wanted a flying pet for a long time.
As for the ugly appearance - well, you see it everywhere, and you get used to it gradually.
Those "flying snakes" hissed and stuck out their slender tongues, enjoying the purple things that the students fed them.
It's not that humans don't have airplanes, helicopters, etc., but the "Flying Snake" has an absolute cost advantage and good speed. The second-level flying snake has a load capacity of 100-200 kilograms, and the third-level can reach 300 kilograms, which is definitely enough.
Colonel Jin Dongliang was standing on a high platform, watching the children smiling happily, but he secretly sighed: "It's still good for these bugs to accompany us through the most difficult times."
"What a third-level civilization. It has indeed become stronger, but the expenses are getting higher and higher. All kinds of mechanical equipment and strange props cost money. It's like a bottomless pit."
"When we were poor, we just had to fight hand-to-hand with a knife, and we relied on Sky Fortress and Flying Dragon for transportation."
“These young people…”
The ratmen craftsmen were tinkering with various mechanical armors and drones, and said disdainfully: "Old Jin, you are really old. You are confined to the past all day long."
"Young people spend more and earn more. With your thinking, you should just retire and let someone else take over."
Jin Dongliang immediately blew his nose and glared: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm very young! I'm not even six hundred years old. How old are you, old man?"
The rat man stiffened his neck and said, "Don't ask me. If you ask me my age again, I will go on strike!"
Jin Dongliang looked embarrassed immediately. Well, in the third-level civilization, the status of craftsmen was still high. There was really nothing he could do about it.
The rat people have lived a very comfortable life in recent years. They participated in some labor and took advantage of the luck of mankind. They have created a total of eight pieces of legendary equipment alone!
The most amazing master of rat metallurgy even thinks that as long as he has a burst of inspiration, he can create epic equipment!
Of course, they have actually gradually changed their mindset and are no longer obsessed with things like axes, knives, and armor. Instead, they have become interested in weapons such as airplanes, cannons, and some functional production tools, which can be considered to be keeping up with the times.
"Is this kind of experience class useful?" Shu Gongye suddenly asked.
"I mean, there's nothing wrong with a little arrogance, but you're so eager to kill their arrogance. How strict."
"What is there to be proud of? Civilization was not founded by them. Have they made any contribution? Have they ever carried a gun for mankind?" Jin Dongliang said disdainfully, "This powerful figure must be killed, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
…
The students below got familiar with their companions for a while and fed them carefully.
Then, I started my first treasure hunt in my life.
"Learn from me and start flying." Lu Ying took the lead, "Student captains, step out and check your classmates' reins to make sure they don't fall to their deaths mid-flight."
"yes!"
The 13-year-old Haipeng possesses a magical skill - "Eye of Identification".
This is the higher-level ability of "identification", which means that he is a standard high-end talent.
Therefore, Haipeng is quite arrogant because of his talent, does not like to study much, and has poor classroom discipline. He can be said to be a senior problem student.
"I will definitely be able to dig up treasure! Dig up pure gold!" Hai Peng secretly told himself in his heart, "Let everyone look at me with new eyes!"
The remaining children are also eager to try, hoping to have a good harvest.
Young people, with their little skills and the backing of a thriving civilization, are always a little too optimistic.
Although the current city is at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the children are a little afraid of heights, but they did not show it at all.
“Whoosh!”
Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ying jumped down from the edge of the city. The flying snake spread its cicada-wing wings, quickly stabilized its body in the air, and began to glide at high speed.
"Hey—" Lu Ying shouted loudly, and then said in the headset, "Let's get started, classmates! Believe in your partners!"
This high-speed gliding, coupled with the lieutenant colonel's encouragement, stimulated the children's nerves.
One by one, they plucked up their courage, drove their flying snakes, and jumped out.
"ah!!"
In the first minute, Haipeng felt the whistling wind and the free fall. His adrenaline began to surge and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
The next second, a magical buoyancy force held the body firmly in place.
In fact, the flying snake does not require much trouble to control, it will fly automatically, and the feeling of flying at lightning speed is truly a romantic experience unique to men.
Turning his head inadvertently, Haipeng saw the entire picture of the huge city - looking up from below was really completely different, just like a mortal looking at the palace of God in the sky.
It is really big and magnificent, it is our hometown!
It is the crystallization of wisdom and sweat!
Haipeng felt a strong sense of pride and belonging to his civilization.
"Our city is so powerful!"
He saw vortex generators hidden among the clouds and a circular rail train approaching from afar.
A small hovercraft rushed out from the airport, probably carrying out some patrol mission.
At this moment, the conversation in the headphones began to become sparse, probably because the distance between each other began to increase, coupled with the local idealistic radiation, which caused the electromagnetic waves to become somewhat disordered and the communication equipment was interfered with.
Treasure hunting teams usually work in groups of two or even alone to maximize efficiency.
What's more, the treasure-hunting team should also be the best scouts, which is actually a hard and arduous job.
And the content of this exercise - ahem, the most difficult solo treasure hunt!
Second minute.
The city disappeared, replaced by a white cloud.
Haipeng looked towards the grassy area and asked, "Is there anyone else nearby?"
"Yes!" A sporadic response came from the headset.
Hai Peng sighed: "Don't come to my territory to steal the treasure, I'm in the direction of BC123! Don't come over!"
"Come on, act like you can find treasure." A girl shouted excitedly.
"I must have more than you."
Looking again, thousands of children, spread over tens of thousands of square kilometers, look like tiny flies.
The city in the sky above has been blocked by clouds and can no longer be seen.
This made them inexplicably a little nervous, after all, they were only 13 years old.
"What a vast world it is." He tried to sigh like an adult.
In the fifth minute, the sun shone on his face, bringing a slight warmth, and Haipeng pressed a button.
Various disordered waveform images appeared on the instrument screen, and he began to try to detect and ensure security - but for some reason, after leaving the city and coming to the wilderness, he felt an unknown sense of confusion.
The knowledge he learned in class seemed to be moving away from him and becoming unclear.
If you don't work hard in normal times, you will naturally be unreliable at critical moments.
"What is the fluctuation of black iron ore? Never mind. I still have the eyes of identification."
The flying snake was getting lower and lower to the ground.
In the eighth minute, the students had scattered. On average, there was only one child per 10 square kilometers. This density is actually very sparse.
In addition, this grassland was carefully selected by the soldiers because it has a relatively high background radiation, and the electromagnetic waves are seriously interfered with.
Suddenly, there was no voice of classmates in the headphones!
There was only the buzzing sound of the microphone! Haipeng felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
He looked at the white clouds above his head, including the city in the sky, to calm his nerves.
"That's normal. The spiritual radiation here is high. We learned that in the textbooks! We should use shell headphones with spiritual properties!"
But when he touched his backpack, he was stunned.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Oh no, there are no Shell headphones! He didn’t check! No child even raised this objection!
They have been taken care of so well since they were young and are used to adults preparing everything for them. Have they ever thought about checking?
In the backpack, there are only the simplest survival supplies: food, water, a tent, a dagger, and some medicine.
I can’t contact my companions anymore, what should I do? What should I do? Haipeng’s forehead was sweating and his heart was beating wildly.
He stretched out his hand and frantically manipulated the reins to make the flying snake fly back.
But I was a little hesitant. If I became a deserter, I might be laughed at by my classmates for the rest of my life!
"Damn it, there's nothing to be afraid of! The military can't just ignore us. This is just an outdoor survival course!"
He made up his mind and had no choice but to continue going down.
In the twentieth minute, Haipeng landed on the ground.
The weeds in the grassland are more than two meters high, and they will directly bury people if you step on them.
There was no sound in the headphones for a long time, which made him feel inexplicably guilty.
I checked and still no signal.
I looked up again and looked at the city in the sky, and found that it was just an ordinary cloud.
Yes, from this distance, the city in the sky is too small, and even getting smaller and smaller...
The Castle in the Sky disappeared...
Disappeared?!
He stared with his eyes wide open and looked for a long time. The original white clouds turned into a blue sky.
Haipeng's forehead was covered with sweat. At that moment, he was so frightened that his soul was about to leave his body, and his hair stood on end.
All the pride, excitement, and pride disappeared, and were replaced by immense panic...
He was alone facing the endless nature.
No matter how much I comfort myself, I can't calm the fear that is gushing out from my heart like a fountain.
He wanted to fly the flying snake back into the sky and catch up.
But the flying snake seemed tired of flying, so it flapped its wings twice and began to nibble on the weeds.
There's no way. This is just a level 2 flying snake. It will get tired after flying 200 kilometers in 20 minutes.
At this time Haipeng made another mistake. He was extremely anxious and wanted to forcibly control the flying snake to take off, but he broke a rule. It is best not to disturb the flying snake when it is eating - the instructor once said that, but he forgot it.
The angry flying snake struck Haipeng with its tail with a "snap", knocking him to the ground with his legs up in the air. It even bared its teeth and sniffed the delicate skin on Haipeng's body, looking unhappy.
At this moment, Haipeng's heart was filled with panic, especially when the flying snake went crazy, a cold feeling rushed along the coccyx to the top of his head.
He felt like he was going to die!
Or was he too noisy and abandoned by the whole civilization? He lay on the lawn and began to think wildly. Years of compulsory education had given them enough common sense, but they only remembered it in their hearts and did not feel the same way.
Just at this moment, this group of students all felt a common emotion.
This is the real world.
Cold, cruel, yet so close.
The next second, the flying snake recognized that this was a human being it had been living with day and night, and did not bite him.
Maybe it noticed that this guy was crying? It even squeezed out a little shellac, stuffed it into Haipeng's mouth, and then continued to eat grass.
Haipeng wiped his eyes and murmured, "Take good care of this partner..."
He held the flying snake in his arms and hid in the grass, shivering.
After trying everything, it found that nothing helped. Only this gentle friend gave it a little courage.
As for... digging for treasure? Digging for a lump of pure gold? He had long lost the courage to dig for treasure.
Without civilization, individual human beings are so weak.
What right do we have to be proud? What right do we have to be lazy? Only by uniting together can human beings be a tiny spark of light in this world! …
After a day and a night, the soldiers of the treasure-hunting team brought back the shivering children.
Most of the children were protected by the flying snakes and stayed where they were without moving. In this situation, how could they dig for treasure? They were scared to death!
But there are also a small number of children who do show a certain degree of independence and can be considered as a reserve of outstanding talents for the future.
"It seems that everyone's harvest is not good." Lu Ying hypocritically comforted them, "This piece of land is obviously very rich... There is a lot of black iron ore!"
"And students, you didn't check your backpacks. No one noticed that you didn't bring your Shell headphones! Didn't I tell you to check your equipment?"
"Do you still need us to arrange everything for you? This is obviously impossible. Everyone has only one life! You are responsible for yourself! If you don't listen carefully in class, you will be nothing after class!"
Lu Ying scolded them with a gloating look on his face.
The students were completely silent.
Comrade Hai Zhiyun, who also participated in a trial class, was stunned.
He also spent a day in the wild, which was pretty good, but it was a pity that he didn't find any treasure.
“This course… is quite amazing.”
There are many such emergency courses, which are taught starting from the age of 13. Whether willing or not, every child has to accept one fact: individual human beings are so weak.
Arrogance does not belong to you!
