Chapter 2171
Chapter 2171: Plane Crash
“Heh, well-hidden but I finally found you!”
Vicki looked down at the tens of thousands of ancient corpses hidden below in the ravine and smiled.
“This is like the battlefield during ancient times and the various races battled it out here with the invaders. There were many deaths and ultimately, the invaders were sealed up.
“To think that their corpses would be used once again by the invaders to invade the Norland Continent that they’ve once protected,” another voice said.
“They are no longer the heroes who protected the Norland Continent back then but the puppets controlled by the devil. If they knew they had ended up like this, they would want us to destroy them.” Vicki’s spaceship hovered in the air. The weapon store was activated, aiming at the ancient corpses in the ravine.
“However, where is their controller?” Vicki stared at the screen. The result from the radar screening only showed small red dots in the ravine and there wasn’t any stronger life form found.
“The ancient invaders are what the older generation are afraid of. We should be a little more careful.”
“I want to see how long it can stay hidden!” Vicki pressed the red button by her hand.
Four missiles were launched at the targeted spot. They flew towards the valley and exploded hundreds of meters in the air, falling into the ravine as hundreds of mini bombs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the bombs exploded and sparks flew, a mushroom cloud rose slowly.
The ice mountains forming the valley collapsed with the eruption, reducing the valley into a piece of flat land.
“Hoho! Interesting!”
Vicki was a little excited. She stared at the little red dots that disappeared from the screen after a while and aimed at another area with a dense congregation of red dots.
The cloud and mist dispersed gradually. The skeleton men all struggled to climb out from under the ice.
After being attacked, the red light in their eyes grew brighter. They started looking around for their target and started leaving the ravine.
The ancient corpses that had flying abilities took to the air. Tens of varying ancient corpses flew up into the sky, flying towards the battleship in the sky.
“Come on! You disgusting fellows!” Vicki watched the ancient magic beast corpses that were advancing quickly. There were several zombie dragons among them. While she pressed the launch button, she pulled her joystick and switched to the battleship’s heavy artillery. She aimed at the pouncing ancient corpses below and started her one-sided slaughter.
Dadada…
As the machine gun fired, the zombie dragons’ heads exploded with every shot. The skeletons of the flying magic beasts fell apart mid-air.
The battleship’s extreme battle capabilities allowed Vicki to have the upper hand despite facing 50,000 ancient corpses from the Army of the Dead.
Meanwhile, the bombs that were dropped previously in the ravine reduced the tens of thousands of skeleton men into ashes.
“When you get back, you can write an opera on Miss Black Cat wiping out the dead souls in the ravine.” Vicki smiled as she watched the skeleton men below escaping in all directions.
The Army of the Dead that the various races of the Norland Continent were afraid of were merely like this.
Speaking of which, it was still because the races in the Norland Continent were too weak and the technology was too backward. They did not have any battleships, not to mention cannons.
In this world, there was no skeleton man that a cannon could not resolve.
If there was, then launch again.
The ‘Black Cat’ belonged to Vicki’s grandfather. Vicki had been playing in the battleship ever since she was young and at the age of eight, she had become the youngest captain among the Elder Things.
Initially, she could only officially own this battleship and join the Elder Things’ Allied Defense Force at the age of 18.
However, when she left home in the previous year, she took the ship out with her secretly.
This was a spaceship that was at the same level as a battleship.
However, Vicki also modified it on her own. Be it the power system or weapon system, the ship had already reached the standard of a battleship.
On top of that, she had ample load. When she left home, she emptied half a fleet’s worth of ammunition from the store.
“However, what does this button do?” Vicki had fun for quite a while before her gaze landed on a rather striking white button.
“Self destruct button. Do not press it unless in an extremely urgent situation,” another voice replied gently.
“Don’t worry. I won’t commit suicide for fun.”
Vicki pushed the control bar to make the ship dive down. At the same time, she aimed at the escaping skeleton men and started shooting.
Those that were too weak were naturally not within her target range. Only those skeleton men shining bright red had the right to take a shot from her.
The skeleton men threw ice javelins at the spaceship but did not even leave a scratch on its surface. This was a one-way massacre.
“Where is that fellow hiding? Do you know what it looks like?” Vicki looked around everywhere, including on the surface of the ice. The strange thing was, after being there for so long, the legendary ancient invader had yet to appear.
“The ancient invader is an indescribable thing. They have a horrifying appearance with an octopus’s head, a jelly-like body that allows it to shape-shift, and large bat-like wings on its back. Its existence is rather illusionary…”
Di!
Di!
“Unknown organism is approaching rapidly!”
“Danger!”
The spaceship gave a warning signal and quickly went into auto-dodge mode. It sped off rapidly while releasing a bewitching bomb.
Bam!
However, there was a dull thud coming from above the spaceship.
The spaceship was knocked downwards.
Multiple warning icons appeared on the control panel.
“External Covering Damaged!”
“Rapid Drop In Air Pressure!”
“Engine 4 Stalled, Backup Engine Activation Failed!”
“…”
Vicki’s head hit on the joystick during the collision, causing a bump on her head.
“Mm… it hurts.”
Vicki held her forehead, confused.
“Fly the spaceship upwards to the left quickly, it’s here again!” another voice said urgently.
“What?” Vicki tried her best to grab on to the control panel.
Before she could react, the spaceship was knocked downwards again.
Slash!
An ear-piercing tear came from above. The top of the spaceship had been torn.
The spaceship started spiraling downwards uncontrollably.
1500m!
1200m!
800m!
***
The alarms rang loudly as the spaceship dropped closer to the ground.
The skeleton men that were scattered initially started congregating towards the spaceship. They hurled their limbs around, as though they were getting ready to enjoy a feast.
“This…” Vicki was bewildered and at a loss.
“Let me do it.” A gentle and helpless voice sounded.
The confusion in Vicki’s eyes disappeared, as though she had become another person.
She quickly pressed a few buttons and immediately, three of all the engines that had completely stalled whirred back into life.
She held the joystick with both hands and pulled the joystick back up as she clenched her teeth together.
The spaceship, which was spiraling down, climbed back up slowly, as it brushed past the surface of the ice just before it crashed.
The ancient corpses that jumped up were hanging onto the front of the spaceship, hitting it hysterically.
And at that moment, Vicki saw what was attacking them.
It was an awe-inspiring frost dragon hovering in mid-air, staring at them with its blood-red eyes.
