Ai Yu sat quietly in her seat on the plane, her eyes fixed on the dark sky outside the window.
The clouds piled up thickly, like a dull gray sky, blocking the warmth of the sun.
Her thoughts gradually drifted away, as if merging with the gloomy sky.
In the tranquility of this high altitude, she felt a sense of alienation from the world.
Zhao Liu'er elbowed Ai Yu and held a small piece of cake. The cake on the knife and fork was already close to Ai Yu's mouth. She smiled brightly: "Ai Yu, Ai Yu, try this. Qian Cheng brought it, it's delicious. I asked, and he said you haven't eaten it before!"
Ai Yu's eyes widened slightly, and he took a bite doubtfully: "Hmm, delicious."
Zhao Liu'er leaned back in her chair, shrugged, and sighed, "If it were you in the past, you would definitely just..." She imitated Ai Yu's previous behavior, hummed, and then returned to her own way, "Like this, hahaha."
Ai Yu chuckled: "Yeah."
Zhao Liu'er finished her cake in a few bites, turned to look at Qian Cheng, who was taking a nap, pursed her lips, temporarily put the plate on the tray, shifted her hips, leaned on Ai Yu's shoulder, and whispered, "Ai Yu, what do you think, can the three of us be good friends for life?"
Ai Yu lowered his eyes to look at Zhao Liu'er, then glanced at Qian Cheng: "Yeah."
Zhao Liuer closed her eyes, a happy smile on her face: "That's great, you see, the three of us have everything we need. Qian Cheng has the money, you have the brains, and I have the force."
Ai Yu also laughed: "Yeah."
"Ai Yu, are you sleeping? I feel a little sleepy. I'll sleep on you."
"Okay, go to sleep."
——
The mission location this time is Sardinia in the southwest of Libya. The mission prompt reads: Rescue as many living people as possible on the island.
As soon as Zhao Liuer landed on the island, she opened her arms to embrace the sea breeze: "Ah, traveling on government funds, so cool!"
Before Xila arrived, Sardinia was considered a tourist destination in Lisbon. Now, it was barren, with nothing to see except lush vegetation and wasteland. The buildings that once existed here were now covered by alien vegetation and corroded by the sea breeze.
Qian Cheng and Ai Yu stood together, examining the existing map of Sardinia provided by the Li Kingdom. Zhao Liuer came over and exclaimed in disbelief, "Over 20,000 square kilometers of island, just the three of us? Are we going to find it forever?"
"Huh? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? We have the tools, and..." Qian Cheng drew a red circle on the tablet with his finger, "We have a range. Even if we don't have these two things, we still have Ai Yu." Qian Cheng patted Ai Yu's shoulder and raised an eyebrow at him, "Right, Ai Yu?"
"Um."
Qian Cheng took out a thermal infrared life detector from his toolbox and handed it to Zhao Liuer. He then took out a sonic vibration life detector. "This detector has an effective range of one thousand meters. I'll send you the respective working ranges later. If there are no problems, the mission will begin. Zhao Liuer and I will use the detectors, and Ai Yu will use the search and rescue dogs."
Ai Yu picked up a small medicine box and carried it on his back: "Okay."
Stepping into the vines felt like entering a green maze. Ai Yu, lightly dressed, weaved lightly through the dense woods. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting patches of light that reflected on her, making her silhouette appear vague.
Ai Yu kept one eye on the road and the other on the map on her glasses. This was the southern part of Sardinia.
As we go deeper, the surrounding vegetation becomes more lush, tall trees block out the sun, and an oppressive atmosphere fills the air.
Ai Yu carefully avoided the vines and thorns on the ground, and occasionally pushed aside the branches and leaves that blocked her way.
The air was filled with a damp smell, mixed with the smell of grass and soil. In addition, there was an indescribable smell.
The dozens of search and rescue dogs that were released had long since disappeared. Ai Yu stopped by a big tree and looked up at the flower buds on the tree.
It’s so big, I feel like one person can sleep in it when it’s opened.
Putting aside this strange thought, Ai Yu continued to move forward. He had not gone far and had not encountered any strange beasts yet.
She put her hands behind her back and jumped down one thick vine after another. When she found that the things in front of her were vaguely human buildings, she slowed down her pace.
He took his cell phone out of his pocket and took a photo.
Deep within the dense forest, smoke filled the air, plunging the view into a hazy chaos. In a moment, the black smoke, like a thick, rolling cloud, slowly rose and intertwined with the branches and leaves overhead. Ai Yu's vision was obscured by the thick smoke, and she could not see the road ahead.
The smoke grew thicker, its pungent smell piercing her nasal cavity, irritating her eyes and throat. Ai Yu couldn't help but cough, covering her mouth and nose with her hands, trying to reduce the amount of smoke she inhaled. But the black smoke relentlessly surrounded her, leaving her with nowhere to escape.
Why is there black smoke here? Is it a forest fire?
Ai Yu looked at the growing fire and took out a smoke-proof gas mask and put it on.
The surrounding trees appeared blurry and eerie in the black smoke, like a group of silent observers.
Ai Yu stood in the middle of the small clearing, closed his eyes and felt his summoned creatures. Except for the birds, they were all trapped in the fire and unable to move. In desperation, Ai Yu had to take back the search and rescue dog.
The message on the bracelet was stuck for a long time and couldn't be sent out, and the other two people couldn't be contacted via communication.
After looking around, Ai Yu looked up at the sky, grew wings on his back, and flew up.
However, the top of his head was covered with thick, opaque vines, and Ai Yu couldn't fly out at all.
After trying several places and failing to fly out, Ai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Sun Wukong, enter the formation."
