Xu Cheng piloted a Greyhound-class cargo shuttle over the restricted area. She stepped on the pedals with both feet, fine-tuned the rudder with her left hand, and pulled the joystick with her right hand to carefully control the aircraft.
She had to deliver goods, from Shangjing to Jialongpo. This was the postman's job. Only the bravest people, like Xu Cheng, dared to move between different security zones and cross the vast restricted area.
Below is the vast fog, below that is the ominous and strange starlight, and below that is the churning sea water.
Paopao was in charge of operating the scanner in the passenger seat, monitoring the activities of all suspicious things in the fog below. The star monsters were grinding their teeth, sucking blood, and killing people like crazy.
A G2000 robot is in the weapons operation position, debugging rocket launchers and small cannons to ensure that once the enemy appears, they will have a chance to fight back and at least get a shot before escaping.
"We can reach Jialongpo in one hour, but the distortion index of this sea area is 77%. It overlaps with the ruins of Baraya City. The monsters are likely to be active here." Bubble check
Most of the instructions on the aeronautical charts are marked manually. Satellites no longer work these days, so we can only rely on the markings of mercenaries and professional exploration companies.
"Quack." Xu Cheng didn't care, she could fly a plane.
There were some weird roars coming from below, sounding like a mournful song rather than a harbinger of hunting. Xu Cheng was thoughtful. She heard that the monsters were turned into people who unfortunately died in the disaster six years ago, which made her feel...
Surprisingly, if you kill the monsters, wouldn't you kill the dead again? If the monsters can speak, can they still recognize their relatives and friends who are still in the world?
But they must be very smart and have a very human side, otherwise why would they roar before every attack?
"Here it comes!" G2000 shouted. It is a cutting-edge product produced by Nisto Company to help people tide over the difficulties in this most difficult era. It fired a series of bullets into the thick fog below, and the brass bullets fell on the monster's head.
Sparks exploded on his forehead.
"Be careful!" Bubble hurriedly redraws the route.
"..." Xu Cheng pulled back the control stick, and the entire shuttle tilted rapidly, moving like a bird with flexible wings using high-speed airflow, giving it an instant acceleration.
After the monster roared and crawled out of the thick fog, Xu Cheng hurriedly glanced down. The wreckage of Baraya City was still shining under the sea. The beautiful hotels, exquisite streets and tall palm trees were all well preserved.
There are even some survivors living there, but now the world is folded so much that it is necessary to remap the route to find a stable way to Baraya.
There were monsters blocking the way along the way. Its huge whip-like tentacles violently slapped the air. It was taller and more brutal than any sea descendants in the past. Thanks to Xu Cheng's pre-acceleration, the whip only hit the air behind it.
"Ah ha ha ha!" G2000 shouted, it was unrestrained in the battle, "try this!"
It got out of the shuttle cabin, held a machine gun and shot at the ferocious Star Dragon monster below. The monster was huge, with a huge horn on its head. Its roar floated on the sea, and its whole body was shining with colorful light. If it didn't like it,
Devouring human life, Xu Cheng still wants to raise one.
The sound of sea water, the roar of monsters, the roar of engines and the sound of gunshots buzzed in Xu Cheng's ears. When she first went to sea, she shivered like a wet puppy. Now she has long been used to it, and her expression remains unchanged.
She raised her head and pressed a few buttons on the control panel to adjust the engine output. Leaving this sea area really required some precise techniques.
boom!
She heard a loud sound of metal tearing, as if the Star Dragon had hit something.
"Quaa?" Xu Cheng yelled. If their shuttle was destroyed, it would be the end.
"It's okay! Our shuttle is okay! It's just that it was hit by the Xinghui Dragon!" Bubble left his seat, rushed to the edge of the shuttle, and dragged G2000's two legs and half of its body back.
Xu Cheng looked at the smashed synth with distress. It cost 100,000 yuan to buy in less than 2 months. It was smashed before helping them make back their money. If he had known it, he would have radicalized its battle
Turn the temperature down and then down again.
Bubble took over the job of G2000 and ran to the weapon console. She didn't dare to lean out to fight like a synthesizer. Instead, she let the shuttle's fire control system adjust its ammunition consumption and frantically attacked the Star Beast below.
.
"Ho-ho-"
"Did you hear that?" Bubble turned his head, looking anxious, his green eyes full of uneasiness, "More monsters are coming!"
"Guabu." Xu Cheng raised the joystick and lifted the shuttle high into the sky.
"Not enough! Our machine is too heavy! It can't be raised to a safe height!" Bubble shouted.
Xu Cheng quickly pressed a few times on the control panel to switch to AI control mode. Greyhound AI took over the shuttle and continued to let the shuttle fly high into the sky.
"Don't you understand? Xu Cheng! It's too heavy! We can't fly any higher! The engine will be broken!" Bubble shouted excitedly.
"Quack." Xu Cheng didn't like to talk. After the catastrophe, she was forced to live independently. Both her father and Falosa must do their best to solve this unprecedented disaster and deal with the eternal enemy entrenched in this world.
.
She is not very happy, but she has to find a way to overcome the difficulties in front of her, one after another. At least she can't embarrass her father. She is Xu Cheng, an amazing child.
She ignored Bubble's shouting, rushed to the back, opened the cargo hold, forcefully released the safety buckles of two large containers, and then operated on the panel of the cargo hold to let the two boxes fall from the opening of the cargo hold.
"Roar!" The monsters roared below. They had different appearances, were extremely vicious, and were powerful. One huge box hit their heads, and the other was bitten into pieces. Several tons of rice, flour, grain, and oil were scattered on the sea.
"Ouch!" A monster stretched out its tentacles and pierced Xu Cheng.
"Don't tell!" Xu Cheng released the wall of repulsion, and the monster's tentacles were intercepted in mid-air!
Xu Cheng quickly turned around and closed the cargo door with force.
After throwing away the two large boxes, the Greyhound shuttle suddenly lightened up and its lift-off speed greatly increased. It immediately avoided the monster group below and cruised in a high-altitude direction towards Jialongpo.
"Huh...huh...huh..." Bubbles was still in shock, looking at the group of monsters getting farther and farther below.
"Guagua." Xu Cheng sat back on the console of the shuttle and took over control of it again. She likes to manually fiddle with her machine. Just like her father likes to deal with technological products personally, AI can do it for a while, but it will last forever.
He cannot replace Xu Cheng.
"It's... it's amazing... Xu Cheng, you are so amazing..." Paopao leaned back, leaned back on the leather cushion, closed his eyes, and was shocked.
Xu Cheng is very cool and doesn't talk much.
It is rare to encounter a large group of monsters like this, but it is not impossible. Anything can happen in the restricted area. The bravest scavengers are willing to go in and recover the advanced technology of the cyber era, a laser three-eyed gun,
A Gauss sniper rifle can be exchanged for a lot of supplies. Sometimes they can also encounter survivors in the restricted area. Most of them are infected by the glow dust and increasingly turn into sparkling monsters.
Xu Cheng lowered the shuttle, approached Jialongpo, and parked it at the huge port.
Pao Pao can talk, so he goes down to talk to people. Zhou Zhen, the head of the port's messenger office, is a rigid person, just like most of the people in Jialongpo who just abide by the law and regard discipline as everything.
"Two boxes are missing," he said.
"I was attacked on the way here, and you know there's nothing you can do about it." Pao Pao is actually clumsy, but for Xu Cheng she has to stand up and face all kinds of people.
"It's different from what's listed on the cargo list. The postman needs to pay to make up for it. This is the legal requirement of Jialongpo." Zhou Zhen said.
"How much?" Paopao asked nervously.
"Four tons of cargo, with a total price of RMB 80,000, must be paid within seven days. The shuttle will be held here until the payment is completed," Zhou Zhen said.
"..." Paopao curled his lips, having no choice but to come back.
Xu Cheng sat on his seat, looking out the window at Bubble talking to Zhou Zhen, motionless.
"We have to pay 80,000 yuan. We signed a contract as a courier, and the laws in Jialongpo are extremely unreasonable." Pao Pao said frustratedly.
"Quick." Xu Cheng handed his cash card to Paopao.
"A total of 12,000 is not enough..." Bubble shook his head.
Xu Cheng hugged Paopao, held her hand, and closed the shuttle door. Zhou Zhen walked over and put an electronic lock on the shuttle. Only top hackers could break it and steal it.
"We can't get the shuttle back until we collect the money." Paopao looked at Xu Cheng, who looked like he was about to cry all night after seeing that his shuttle was padlocked.
"Porphyrin..." Xu Cheng pointed to the bar next to the airport.
They came to the bar. The person in charge of the bar was not here today and there was no one to talk to. Paopao could only order a large glass of milk for Xu Cheng and a large glass of orange juice for herself. She didn't even dare to order food.
Supplies are scarce and can only be transported between different safe zones by couriers, so everything is expensive.
"Are you armed?" Paopao turned around and saw some ferocious modified and mutant gang members entering the bar, and became alert. Some people younger than them acted as bartenders and went to greet them. The population increased sharply today.
It is not uncommon to reduce the number of children.
"Yeah." Xu Cheng patted her bulging bomber jacket, underneath which was her little black knife.
"Huh..." Paopao only had an iron rod and a pistol, and she hoped that she would never need them in this life.
Those Jialongpo gang members belong to the Seventh Group of Lengwan, who are accustomed to wandering on the edge of the law and making gray business. Their couriers secretly trade stamps, implants and mutagens, and have accumulated considerable wealth and resources.
Very influential in the port area.
"Hey..." Pao Pao shivered, "How about we register on the New World Agency's online system and find a job."
Xu Cheng nodded.
Paopao sent out a message, saying that they were an invincible courier team and were willing to deliver any express delivery.
She drank orange juice in frustration. Should she give up her job as a messenger and find something more stable?
However, Xu Cheng did not study hard and had no academic qualifications. He only knew how to fly a plane. Pao Pao only finished middle school. The most important thing is that Xu Cheng will never be a parasite or an idle second generation. He has already made up his mind to be independent.
Determined to be self-reliant, only by insisting on flying airplanes can we maintain a living.
Didi——
A new conversation notification lit up in the lower right corner of the screen. Bubbles' eyes widened, he quickly sat upright and clicked on the message.
"Can you fly to Taixi Continent?" the mysterious man sent a letter.
Paopao was shocked when he saw the person he was sending the message to. The person had hidden his ID, but the file showed that he had a high reputation. In the New World Agency network, mercenaries, hackers, messengers and killers would reward qualified employers.
High ratings, in a sense, mean they are trustworthy.
"Yes." Paopao quickly passed on the news, "We are very confident in our messenger work!"
"Can it also deal with very complicated mail routes?" the mysterious man asked.
"No problem." Paopao nodded. Xu Cheng is a genius at flying airplanes, no matter how complicated the route is.
"It's extremely risky to do this. You have to go through many monster lairs, and you have to compete with other couriers, pirates, and companies. You don't mind, right?" the mysterious man continued.
"It doesn't matter, how much is the reward?" Paopao asked.
