In order to get them to their assigned cities as soon as possible and reduce the time spent on the road, City Z Base directly dispatched a helicopter to transport each evolved person to their designated base to provide support.
The military-grade helicopter had its serial number painted on the exterior. This was Zhao Qiyangâs first time seeing a real helicopter, so he couldnât resist the urge to touch it.
âItâs so cool!â
âDonât touch around!â Zhao Sihui patted her brotherâs head and motioned for him to get in quickly.
As Jin Yang boarded the helicopter, there was a sudden uproar in Niu Feihuangâs team. It seemed that the Young Miss Niu Ying had caused trouble once again.
Yin Yiliu heard the commotion and glanced in that direction, only to see the suppressed anger on Niu Feihuangâs face, while Niu Ying next to him pouted, complaining about something, and the group of evolved people around them were dissuading her.
She wasnât sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the Young Miss was pointing in their direction.
Jin Yang sat in the co-pilot seat in front and waved to her. She spun around and leaped toward Jin Yang, and he placed her on his lap.
The helicopter was not big, and it was just large enough to accommodate all of the members of their team. The black wolf squatted in the farthest back seat, its entire body shrunk into itself, resembling a giant black furball. The seat seemed to be a little cramped for it.
âBuckle up,â the pilot instructed before starting the engine.
The dull sound of the propeller spinning outside became increasingly loud, and along with the sound, the breeze blew in through the window. The white fur on Yin Yiliuâs body swirled in the wind, and she lifted her short paws and made an attempt to hold her fur down.
After a short while, as the whirring sound grew louder, the helicopter slowly lifted off the ground.
At the same time, several identical helicopters took off in the square and flew towards bases in all directions.
The sensation of riding a helicopter was unlike that of flying in a plane. The space inside was small, and large open windows were next to their seats. The wind outside was blowing in directly through their windows. When they looked outside, they could get a panoramic view of the entire landscape below.
Zhao Qiyang shook his legs excitedly, wanting to stick his body out the window, but the black wolf at the back didnât share his enthusiasm.
It was a land animal with a fear of heights. At this time, it could only cling to its seat with its claws. âAwooo,â the wolf wailed pitifully as its sharp claws scratched the iron beneath its seat, making screeching noises.
This was the first time that the black wolf had shown a look of fear on its face since joining the team. Zhao Sihui couldnât stop herself from stroking its head.
Sensing the unusual brain waves of the black wolf, Yin Yiliu poked her small head from Jin Yangâs arms, and her rabbitâs ears shook as she looked towards the last seat.
âBlackie, are you all right?â
The black wolf bared its white teeth at the rabbit. Its voice was clearly trembling, but it didnât want to reveal that it was afraid of heights.
âIâm perfectly fine!â
The sound waves it was now sending into Yin Yiliuâs ears sounded more mature than the childish voice she had heard at the beginning. If she had to make a comparison, she would say it sounded a bit like the hoarse voice of a fifteen or sixteen years old teenager who was experiencing voice change.
As the helicopter flew higher, the view outside the window grew, and the square of the base below them had become a palm-sized âfieldâ.
The wind blew Yin Yiliuâs rabbit ears to the left and right, but she stretched her chonky body, clawed at the window sill, and looked down.
The full view of the buildings in the entire City Z Base could be seen. The research institute and the military base had shrunk to the sizes of small dots, while the evolved people on the base were even smaller, resembling ants moving slowly across the base.
People in the city also noticed the helicopters taking off in mid-air. They stared at the helicopters for a few moments before resuming their busy daily lives of working to earn their daily rations.
Li Zhenjiang stood on the highest floor of the military building, looking out the window and into the distance.
He stared at the helicopters that were gradually flying away and leisurely smoked a cigarette.
Yin Yiliu sat in the co-pilot seat, her gaze sweeping across the fairly normal looking base. When her gaze reached the edge of the city, she noticed the green giant trees gradually spreading outwards, and those cities appeared to be surrounded by mutated plants.
The sight of endless green mixed with tall buildings surrounded by mutated plants made her feel suffocated.
At this moment, Yin Yiliu noticed a green crown-shaped object far away. The shade of the crown-shaped canopy tree looked like a huge cloud. Although it was partially obscured by layers of high-rise buildings, she could tell that it was massive.
The Zhao siblings, who were sitting behind, noticed it as well. Zhao Sihui muttered to herself as she looked in that direction, âIs that City W?â
Jin Yangâs gaze was also locked onto the giant vegetation. That was the border between City W and M, as well as the main focus point for the support missions.
Jin Yang and his teammates had escaped from that place to the City Z Base. They had never imagined the giant plant would grow so large and pose a threat to the two cities.
The old acquaintances they had met along the way, Qin Fuhaiâs team and Flying Dragon Base, were there. They wondered if these people were still alive in the range of the giant plant.
