"Ah, wait a minute! Don't go in yet!"
Li Wenxi called out to Lao Yang who was about to enter the cave.
"What's wrong?" Although Lao Yang felt a little strange, he still stopped.
The flying shuttle hovered in the rugged terrain and did not move forward.
"Hmm..."
Coco climbed out of Xu Xin's arms, crawled into the front cockpit, and raised her little head to look forward.
"... 嘤?" The little guy tilted his head.
"What's the situation ahead?" Xu Xin asked.
“Hmm…” Coco scratched her head with her little paws, looking confused.
Then, the little guy turned around, crawled back, and crawled into Xu Xin's arms again.
"What's wrong? What are you two doing looking at this little panda?" Old Yang looked puzzled. "And you asked it if there was any danger ahead? Are you okay?"
Well, in the eyes of normal people, what the two are doing now is indeed a bit incomprehensible.
"No, Keke can predict danger." Li Wenxi explained, "It's very smart!"
"Ah?" Old Yang was confused and pointed at the little Keke who had curled up into a ball in Xu Xin's arms. "This little guy? Predicting danger?"
"Hmm?" Coco turned her little head and glanced at Lao Yang.
Old Yang seemed to see a hint of disdain in Coco's eyes.
"this… "
"So, Coco, is there any danger?" Xu Xin asked, rubbing its ears.
"Hmm... Hmm." Coco seemed to think for a moment, then shook her head.
No…
"Then what did you mean by asking us to stop just now?" Li Wenxi hugged Keke over.
"Bing! Bing, bing, bing." Coco waved her little paws.
It means that you felt something was wrong just now, but when you looked carefully, you couldn't feel anything.
This is really…
Xu Xin shook his head.
"Let's go. But we still have to be careful, there may be danger ahead." Xu Xin said to Lao Yang.
"Oh... OK." Old Yang looked at Coco in surprise, then controlled the flying shuttle to continue moving forward.
"By the way, are you familiar with this place?" Li Wenxi asked Lao Yang.
"Although our world is in front of us, it's not familiar to me." Old Yang said, "There is a rugged terrain of several hundred kilometers around the support column. How can I be familiar with it all?"
Xu Xin and Li Wenxi looked out the window.
Now they seemed to be moving quickly in a very complicated underground maze tunnel.
These tunnels lead to various areas, are interconnected and extremely chaotic.
But the flying shuttle can accurately choose the tunnel entrance and even fly at a speed of four to five hundred kilometers without slowing down.
But this also makes them feel a little scary when they look at the illuminated tunnel outside.
This tunnel is actually not narrow. The narrowest part is nearly ten meters wide, and most areas are about twenty to thirty meters wide.
This is very spacious for a car, but it is not enough for a flying shuttle flying in the air at a speed of 400 to 500 kilometers per hour.
Xu Xin always felt that there were several times when the propeller of the flying shuttle was about to hit an obstacle.
At this speed, if I accidentally hit it, I would probably die instantly...
"Since we are not familiar with the terrain... are you sure our current speed is OK?" Li Wenxi withdrew his gaze from the window and asked with some fear, "If we crash..."
"Don't worry." Old Yang waved his hand. "You underestimate this flying shuttle. This machine was created for this kind of situation. Look."
Lao Yang motioned for the two to look forward.
On the cockpit dashboard, there is a very detailed...
Topographic map
At this time, the topographic map was constantly retreating, and in the lower middle part of the map, there was a dot representing the flying shuttle.
"The flying shuttle can use sonar, radar and other methods to detect the terrain of the fan-shaped area ahead up to two kilometers in this complex terrain."
Old Yang pointed to the dashboard.
"So, the autonomous flying shuttle already knows the terrain ahead two kilometers in advance and plans the route and speed in advance."
So that's how it is.
but…
"Leave the driving to the automatic mode..." Xu Xin looked at the excitement outside the window, "I always feel..."
"Yeah, it doesn't seem right to leave such a dangerous situation to autonomous driving..." Li Wenxi said what Xu Xin wanted to say.
"Haha, don't worry, this is not the autonomous driving that was used thousands of years ago on Earth." Old Yang said with a smile, "The safety level of this autonomous driving is definitely much higher than driving ourselves, so you can rest assured about this. I guarantee this with my 500 years of driving experience."
Five hundred years of driving experience...
This is truly the ultimate veteran driver.
Okay, listen to the old driver.
"In that case, what can you do as a driver?" Li Wenxi looked at Lao Yang and blinked, "Just sit here and do nothing?"
"Slacking off? What does slacking off mean?" Old Yang was stunned.
"Uh... it means being lazy."
"Oh, I remember now." Old Yang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "This is a word from thousands of years ago. It's really an ancient saying."
"Uh..." Li Wenxi suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Did she just use a word that has been out of fashion for thousands of years
Speaking of which, the way she speaks now seems very old-fashioned to people today, doesn’t it
During this period of time, I learned a lot of new slang terms in human society from the people in the World Tree and those who came from the underground world.
However, the old Yang in front of him probably doesn’t understand those things, as he is not from the underground world.
Thinking of the underground world, Li Wenxi suddenly felt a little heavy.
I don’t know what’s going on in the underground world now.
The alien invaders should now focus their main energy on attacking the World Tree.
As for the underground world, they probably don't have the energy or methods for the time being.
I hope there won't be any problems.
"So," Li Wenxi perked up and asked, "What's the use of you as a driver?"
“You can’t always use autopilot, right?”
Old Yang laughed.
"Autopilot has only one function, which is to set a destination, and then the shuttle will move towards the destination at the fastest speed. But if there is any emergency, I still need to drive.
Moreover, autonomous driving is not artificial intelligence, it is just a program, and the program needs people to control it. "
"I see..."
"Hmm?"
Just as Lao Yang finished speaking, Coco suddenly raised her little head.
"Hmm? Hmm!"
It suddenly cried out urgently.
Xu Xin was still looking at the exciting scenery outside the window. When he heard Keke's anxious cry, his eyes shrank as if by reflex, and he immediately said, "Stop it! Quick!"
Although I don’t know why Coco cries, it has never made any mistakes!
Anyway, stop first and talk later!
Old Yang was frightened by Xu Xin's sudden shout and stopped suddenly.
"Ah!" Li Wenxi screamed.
The shuttle, which was originally flying at a speed of 400 kilometers per hour, stopped at an extremely fast speed, and the three people sitting in it suddenly felt an extremely strong forward throwing force.
If they hadn't been wearing seat belts, I'm afraid all three of them would have been thrown out of the front windshield.
"Hmm!
!”
Coco, the only one who was not wearing a seat belt, grabbed Xu Xin's clothes tightly with her four paws. Xu Xin also subconsciously hugged her to prevent her from being thrown out.
“Hmm…” Coco’s furry little body went limp.
The three of them were so shocked that they were speechless for a while.
Li Wenxi grabbed Xu Xin's arm in horror: "Wow... I... I... Fortunately I wore my seat belt! Otherwise, I would have been dead this time..."
Xu Xin grabbed her hand and squeezed it, his heart pounding.
However, even so, the flying shuttle still hovered steadily in the air without any shaking, which made people marvel.
This is indeed the technology of alien invaders.
"What...what happened?!" Lao Yang was still a little frightened, "What are you shouting about? Why did you ask me to stop so suddenly?"
Xu Xin exhaled and looked at the soft little guy in his arms.
The little guy's big tail was drooping down weakly.
"Coco, why did you ask us to stop?" Xu Xin held up Coco with both hands and looked at it.
“Yes, Keke, why did you suddenly…” Li Wenxi covered his chest with one hand.
That was so exciting just now!
Looking around, this place was much more spacious than the tunnel they had just passed through, and it was more like an underground paradise.
The shuttle became much more comfortable in this area.
"You guys... You're not doing this because of this little panda again, are you?" Lao Yang felt his eyebrows twitching wildly, "You guys..."
"Drip-drip-drip-"
Suddenly, shrill alarm sounds rang out from various parts inside the aircraft!
The instrument panel in front of the cockpit instantly turned red, and the entire interior was illuminated red!
Lao Yang's expression suddenly became serious. He turned back abruptly with shock in his eyes: "Is it really dangerous?"
On the dashboard, just 500 meters ahead, in some caves, dense spots of light suddenly appeared!
"Drip-drip! Drop! Drop!"
After these light spots lit up, they actually rushed towards Xu Xin and the others collectively!
"Varied… !"
Lao Yang immediately grasped the joystick, and the aircraft turned on the spot and flew back in the direction they came from!
When the aircraft turned, Xu Xin and Li Wenxi both saw what the light spot on the dashboard was.
"hiss-"
"What a big bat!"
Xu Xin really never thought that bats could be so big!
With just a quick glance, Xu Xin had already estimated the size of those bats.
Because it is so large, it is still conspicuous even from hundreds of meters away.
Each of those bats was almost as big as their flying shuttle!
Behemoth Bat!
It turned out to be a giant bat!
“Ding ding ding ding ding—”
The alarm sounds became one and the same!
On the dashboard, those light spots representing bats were actually very close!
In the time it took the aircraft to turn around, the giant bats were already within reach!
"Speed up! They're catching up!" Li Wenxi exclaimed as he looked at the light spot on the dashboard that was almost as close to the aircraft.
"At top speed... ugh!"
"Ka-la! Bang!"
Along with a loud noise coming from behind, the entire aircraft suddenly shook violently, and then the earth spun around!
"ah!
”
The aircraft ultimately failed to escape and was directly grabbed by a bat and grabbed onto the propeller at the back.
After a teeth-grinding sound, the aircraft tumbled down from the air!
"boom!"
The aircraft crashed directly to the ground, accompanied by the scream of the giant bat whose claws were cut off as it grabbed the propeller!
Parts flew everywhere, and all three propellers were destroyed in the tumbling. Only the main body of the cabin was left, which rolled on the ground for more than a dozen times before it finally came to a stop.
Although the light from the aircraft became dim, it did not get darker.
The surroundings temporarily returned to silence.
“Pah.”
A small piece of the broken aircraft fell off and landed in the cave.
"Forehead… "
Xu Xin felt his head buzzing, his head hurt, and everything went dark before his eyes.
He felt as if all his internal organs had shifted out of place.
The extremely fierce collision and tumbling just now made people feel as if their souls flew to the sky...
fine…
Fortunately, at the moment of falling, he put Li Wenxi beside him and Coco in his arms into the bracelet.
After a few seconds of clarity, his mind gradually became less fuzzy and he checked the situation.
How should I put it, it’s indeed alien technology.
Even though it crashed into the ground as quickly as it did just now, and the rapidly spinning propeller created an uncontrollable acceleration causing the entire cabin to roll on the ground for more than a dozen times, the cabin did not actually deform at all.
He was still firmly strapped into his seatbelt.
However, because the cabin was upside down, he was now upside down, which was equivalent to being suspended in the air by a seat belt.
After moving slightly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and his internal organs were churning.
The seat belt broke several of his ribs, and his internal organs were injured by the violent impact. In addition, his head hit the fuselage on the side during the roll, and now he has a splitting headache.
Xu Xin touched it and found a particularly large lump on his head. It was stinging when he touched it. He took his hand away and saw blood on it.
This is really a serious injury.
However, as long as he is still conscious and can move, it is not a big deal.
Qi Xuefei's pills would come in handy at this time.
With some difficulty he took out a pill and swallowed it.
Heat surged in his body, and then his injuries began to heal rapidly.
Half a minute later, his vision, which had been dim and congested, gradually returned to normal and his headache gradually eased.
He couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
Another plane crash.
The last time he was injured so badly was also because of a plane crash.
"Uh... Shit..." A groan and a curse came from the cockpit in front, and then Lao Yang's voice sounded, "Xu Xin? Are you two... still alive?"
Lao Yang looked back with difficulty from the cockpit in front and saw that only Xu Xin was behind him.
“…The girl was dumped?”
"No, I took her back into the space." Xu Xin unbuckled his seat belt and fell down with a "click".
"That's good..." Old Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
"But we are not feeling well at all." Xu Xin squatted on the ground and looked at the situation outside the cabin.
The cabin was too small and too small for him to stand up, so he could only squat in the upside-down cabin, find a small intact spot in the window that had been broken into pieces but still connected, and look out.
At this moment, there were dozens of giant bats surrounding the cockpit.
They seemed very interested in the machine that suddenly appeared in their nest.
Damn, this situation is not good!
Behind him, Lao Yang also came down, squatted beside Xu Xin, and whispered, "How is it outside?"
"Not very good, very dangerous." Xu Xin whispered, then turned to look at him, "How are you injured?"
"It's okay." Old Yang waved his hand, "I've recovered. Don't forget that I've lived for nearly a thousand years."
"You've lived for nearly a thousand years, do you know what to do in this situation?" Xu Xin asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. This is my first time a flying vehicle has crashed."
"All right."
He fell as soon as he arrived.
He has a connection with plane crashes.
"But, things are a bit troublesome..." Lao Yang's expression was solemn, "The aircraft crashed here, and we are really in a dilemma. We can't leave, and we can't go back..."
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes.
There is no need to worry about what Lao Yang said, after all, Xu Ying is here.
but…
"Let's focus on the current situation first."
Before Xu Xin finished speaking, the cabin they were in shook.
Outside, it seemed that there were already giant bats making moves in the cabin!
Yes, bats have very strong hearing. Even though they were speaking in a low voice just now, it was impossible for these giant bats not to hear them.
They kept making noises, so the bats outside were naturally curious.
Lao Yang has already taken out a weapon, which is a low-level weapon equipped by alien invaders to humans.
Xu Xin also reached for the backpack.
… etc.
These bats don't seem to be blood-marked mutations, right
If it's just the blood of the giant beast...
Maybe... try to communicate with them
