The fuselage shuddered slightly, followed by a roar and a strong push-back sensation. The "Vermilion Bird" took off vertically and rapidly advanced into the air.
With the altitude suddenly increasing, Hua Changle surprisingly adapted to the vibrations and roar of the fighter jet very quickly.
"Are you alright?" Li Hongxuan asked loudly.
Hua Changle gave him an "OK" sign.
However, as soon as she said she was fine, she turned her head to look out the window and saw a row of rooftops rapidly descending, revealing the land divided into small pieces!
Suddenly, a feeling of weightlessness came over me!
"Hmm..."
Hua Changle almost suffocated instantly. Her heart pounded wildly, a wave of dizziness rushed to her head, and her face turned as pale as paper!
They fell!
My body is immobile!
I can't breathe!
Help! Help me!!
[Flowers are always joyful!]
[Flowers are always joyful! Open your eyes!]
【You're perfectly fine on the plane! You're going to suffocate yourself!】
Hua Changle suddenly snapped back to reality, and only after catching her breath did her mind clear. She met Li Hongxuan's anxious and worried face.
Only then did his deaf ears catch Li Hongxuan's voice:
"...What's wrong? Chang Le? Chang Le! Are you alright?"
Hua Changle, panting heavily, gritted his teeth and shook his head.
However, her misty eyes and pale face revealed her poor mental and physical condition.
She was still in shock.
She just... felt herself fall...
A very clear and realistic sense of weightlessness!
The airflow cut across my cheek like a bone scraper; death was so close.
There was also inexplicable pain.
What's going on?
Chang Le, you seem to have... a severe stress disorder...
"What?" Hua Changle was taken aback.
[Acrophobia, acrophobia-related stress disorder.]
You just looked at the scenery outside the window.
Hua Changle was stunned.
Fear of heights? Stress?
"Why? Why?" She wasn't afraid of heights before, and the original owner of this body wasn't afraid of heights either.
Because this body was almost shattered... this body retains the memory of that near-death experience.
Hua Changle's face was ashen.
Is that why?
That means she'll be almost impossible to participate in any air combat missions...
No wonder she doesn't get dizzy in low-altitude hovercars but gets dizzy in high-altitude aircraft; this is probably the reason.
"Is it alright?" Li Hongxuan waved his hand in front of her.
Hua Changle's eyes focused on his hand as he followed, and he nodded.
"Is it... a fear of heights?" Li Hongxuan guessed from her symptoms.
Observing her unusual panic, he asked again, "You don't know you're afraid of heights?"
Hua Changle nodded.
Li Hongxuan gasped.
This is no joke; given the speed and altitude of the Suzaku, people with acrophobia are strictly prohibited from boarding.
"Can you hold on? We expect to reach the base in two hours. If you can't, we can dock at the outlying island port one hour and twelve minutes from now and transfer to another vehicle to reach the base."
Hua Changle forced herself to stop thinking about the rooftop outside the window she had just seen, and nodded.
"Okay." Li Hongxuan pointed it out to her.
"If you feel any discomfort or can't hold on any longer, press this button and I will immediately make an emergency landing at the nearest facility."
Once he was certain that Hua Changle did not have a serious reaction, Li Hongxuan turned his attention back to the flight view.
How are you?
422 knew her physical condition better than Li Hongxuan: [Are you in pain?]
Hua Changle did not hide anything from 422:
"Yes, it hurts, it hurts all over my body, it's an indescribable pain. But it's not the kind of pain that comes with an attack."
"I'm still a little... out of breath..."
[It is indeed a stress disorder.]
This is all in your head. This pain is a lingering ache in the original owner's body from before their death.
Adjust your breathing, try to clear your mind, and try to find the state of "selflessness" that you experience during your usual practice.
Listen to me, don't look out the window, don't feel dizzy, don't feel pain, relax, clear your mind...
Under 422's guidance, Hua Changle tried her best to eliminate distracting thoughts and empty her mind.
Thanks to her consistent training in superpowers these past few days, she was able to enter this state relatively easily; otherwise, she might have become so anxious that she jumped out of the plane on the spot.
The incident was a close call, and although they felt unwell, the two had already reached the airspace of the North Xunjing Islands.
"Zhuque 037 has entered the airspace of the Beixun Whale Islands."
Please note that the islands are currently transiting the 'Blue Whale' air defense system.
Verification successful.
Suzaku flew over the outermost protective island of the archipelago.
Hua Changle secretly glanced out the window, where a clear blue sky came into view.
Without the precarious rooftops, the beautiful sea soothed my mind and body.
She discovered that she didn't seem to have a complete fear of heights, but rather that she would experience a stress disorder reaction when she was high up in front of tall buildings.
Gazing at the azure sea, she slowly relaxed her body.
The vast blue sea is like silk, dotted with scattered islands.
The brownish-green areas are preserved natural islands, the silver-gray areas have been equipped with the "Blue Whale" defense system, and the reddish-brown areas are densely populated...
White sails unfurl like white streaks on a painting, snow lines connecting isolated islands.
Hua Changle was enjoying the beautiful scenery when suddenly a piercing alarm sounded:
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Warning! Dangerous alien species is approaching!
"Target route calculation - target machine!"
"Target distance—1.89 km, 1.79 km... The target is rapidly approaching and is expected to collide with the aircraft in twenty seconds!"
