Chapter 1930 - 992: The Final Journey (Part 4)
This is the opportunity they needed.
The Door of Shadow from Qing Ji arrived as promised, Uncle Li Dong led the way inside: "Let’s go, complete your final journey."
Behind the door was a prepared airship, carrying all the Knight Reserves on their final journey.
Chen Zhuoqu looked at Uncle Li Dong: "This is the opportunity you spoke of?"
"That’s right," Uncle Li Dong nodded. "It’s an opportunity exchanged by the 13,910 members of the Qing Air Force for you."
This time, no one was chasing the knights; they had to rely on a different kind of strength to move forward.
The airship flew towards the northwest, where 310 kilometers northwest of City No. 5, large sinkhole landforms are preserved.
Uncle Li Dong stood inside the airship, watching the earth recede beneath them: "Life is a solitary journey... Today, many of you may fall at the threshold of life and death, with only a thin line between. But no matter those who die, or those who live, everything you do is meaningful."
An hour later.
On the airship, Uncle Li Dong opened the hatch, and the fierce wind flooded into the cabin.
He looked back: "Ahead is Gao Mountain Plateau Sinkhole, a historic place where knights have completed their life and death challenges. You all have undergone wing suit flying training and possess the basics to challenge it, but heading there, life and death are unpredictable. Are you ready?"
All the Knight Reserves donned their goggles and carried their parachute packs: "We’re ready!"
"Complete the life and death challenge here, then proceed to wing suit flying," Uncle Li Dong asked, "The sinkhole is narrow, allowing up to five people in a group. Who’s first?"
Zhang Mengchan smiled and stepped forward: "Li Ke and I have other tasks, we’ll go first."
Uncle Li Dong nodded: "Go, although life and death are uncertain, the sky is high and the earth is wide!"
Breathe.
Fire Runes bloomed simultaneously on the cheeks of Zhang Mengchan and Li Ke, as they gently ran and then opened their arms without hesitation, leaping out of the hatch!
Everyone watched as the two fell without fear, rather enjoying it.
Uncle Li Dong didn’t focus on the life and death result of Li Ke and Zhang Mengchan, as long as they took that leap, failure or success seemed no longer important.
Life and death are the knights’ destiny.
After the airship flew across Gao Mountain Plateau Sinkhole and turned back, Uncle Li Dong looked at the Knight Reserves: "Who’s next?"
Chen Zhuoqu and Hu Jingyi stepped forward: "We’ll go."
The robust Zhang HuBao stepped forward too: "Count me in."
After speaking, the three jumped consecutively, adjusting their postures to the airflow as they descended, gradually forming a diagonal alignment, like arrows heading towards Gao Mountain Plateau Sinkhole.
They maintained a fifteen-meter distance apart to avoid interfering with each other.
In mid-air, they saw Li Ke and Zhang Mengchan had already climbed out of the sinkhole bare-handed, not intending to observe their juniors completing the life and death challenge, but striding swiftly southward without any reluctance.
As they walked, they started running faster and faster, like two meteors on the earth.
In the communication channel, Chen Zhuoqu spoke: "Focus, we’re approaching the sinkhole soon!"
Hu Jingyi and Zhang HuBao stiffened their nerves.
meters.
meters.
meters.
meters.
meters.
meters.
However, at this moment, a mountain wind blew by, Chen Zhuoqu and Hu Jingyi immediately tightened their forms to face the strong wind with minimal resistance.
But Zhang HuBao wasn’t so lucky; he was swept away from the formation before he could react!
At such a low altitude, it’s too late to open the parachute, and re-aligning to enter the sinkhole is impossible!
Hu Jingyi exclaimed and turned to look at the unbalanced Zhang HuBao.
Yet, Zhang HuBao, at the last moment before crashing, said over the communication channel: "Keep it up, life should be like a candle, burning bright from start to finish."
With a booming sound, Zhang HuBao’s fall to the ground mixed with the sound of Chen Zhuoqu’s parachute opening.
Then, the sound ended abruptly.
Hu Jingyi descended into the sinkhole trailing his parachute slowly, the diligent kid cried out loud, while Chen Zhuoqu remained calm: "Knights dying in the life and death challenge is a worthy end."
Yet, as she spoke, her nails dug into her palms.
Everyone knew the life and death challenge could result in deaths; previously, several Knight Reserve companions fell and died while wing suit flying, more might perish today.
But, there’s no turning back.
Uncle Li Dong silently watched this scene from the airship, he didn’t anticipate casualties in the second group, it wasn’t good news.
Death transmits fear; once those behind see someone falling to their death, those yet to challenge will feel this fear.
However, over ninety reserves still need to face the life and death challenge.
Uncle Li Dong paused for two seconds, turned to the youthful faces behind him: "Who’s next? Do not fear, this is a knight’s destiny..."
Before he finished, many stepped forward.
Hu Xiaoniu: "I’ll go!"
"I’ll go!"
"I’ll go!"
Uncle Li Dong was slightly stunned, those youthful faces showed no fear, only determination.
At that moment, everyone’s faces shed their immaturity.
Just in that instant.
Uncle Li Dong thought some might retreat, it wasn’t underestimating anyone, it’s human nature.
