On the airliner, Lynx stared at rows of buttons, her head spinning!
She had trained to fly fighter jets!
But she was far from proficient, now frantically flipping through the flight manual!
Jiang Nan grinned!
“Sister Lynx! Take the co-pilot seat, I’ll fly! Just assist me!”
Lynx, stunned: ???
“You can really fly as the main pilot?”
Jiang Nan plopped into the pilot’s seat!
[Skill triggered! Fly Plane: LV0!]
[Add skill points: 100!]
[Skill upgraded! Fly Plane (Proficient): LV0!]
Seeing his remaining three skill points, he sighed in relief!
Just enough!
Otherwise, they’d be doomed!
Jiang Nan operated with expertise!
“Power on! Check!”
“Test turbofan engine fire alarm system! Check!”
“APU ignition switch on! Check!”
“Air system pressure normal! Check!”
…
Lynx watched Jiang Nan deftly handle switches, the turbofan engines igniting normally!
She was rooted to the spot!
Jiang Nan could actually fly a plane?
He’s only 18! How could he know how!
Her shock was beyond measure!
But then she thought!
Were miracles on Jiang Nan ever in short supply?
Jiang Nan, “Thrust on left and right wings!”
Lynx, “Oh… oh!”
She hurriedly sat in the co-pilot seat, assisting Jiang Nan!
The airliner taxied down the runway!
Finally retracting its landing gear!
It pitched up and took off!
Lynx kept glancing at Jiang Nan’s profile!
So young!
But when serious, he exuded a maturity far beyond his age!
“Hold on tight! No time for a three-stage climb!”
Lynx: ???
Jiang Nan grinned, yanking the thrust lever to maximum!
The airliner, barely airborne, shot skyward at nearly a 45-degree angle!
Immense G-forces pressed on them!
Lynx: !!!
“This isn’t a fighter jet!”
Jiang Nan squinted, “It has to be now!”
The fuselage creaked under strain!
Yet it held at the edge of breaking, climbing wildly!
Everyone at the airport gaped at the airliner piercing the clouds!
What the hell!
An airliner flown like that?
Who’s the madman piloting it?
Even a captain with over ten thousand flight hours was dumbfounded!
Badass!
Jiang Nan pushed the airliner straight into the stratosphere!
Still climbing!
Lynx took a deep breath, “Takeoff complete! Later, when it’s stable, you jump!”
“You have teleportation! And wormholes! Surviving the blast depends on your luck!”
“Leave the rest to me!”
Though she said this!
Her heart ached!
Survive, could he really survive?
This was a nuclear explosion!
Jiang Nan grinned, “Sure thing!”
“Don’t worry! I don’t plan on dying here!”
Lynx fell silent!
Both were quiet on the plane!
Only the airliner’s alarms filled their ears!
Ten minutes later!
Lynx, eyes conflicted, said, “Do… you hate me?”
“I forced you into Dark Night, I brought you on this mission!”
“If not for me! You’d be living well now!”
“No need to risk your life! Or…”
Jiang Nan, rare seriousness, “I chose this path myself!”
“No one can force me to do what I don’t want!”
“Growing up in an orphanage, I had no big dreams, just wanted to take care of myself!”
“But now, I think I can do more!”
Lynx stared at Jiang Nan, eyes red, sniffing.
She grabbed a parachute and tossed it to him!
“Get up! Jump! Leave the rest to me!”
Jiang Nan grinned brightly, “Alright!”
He took the parachute and put it on, while Lynx took the pilot’s seat!
Her gaze resolute!
“Sister Lynx? Is this on right?”
Lynx looked back!
“How did you buckle it? Wrong!”
Jiang Nan, “I don’t know how, help me fix it?”
Lynx gave him a hard glare, getting up to help.
But then, Jiang Nan’s hand grabbed her arm!
Lynx’s heart raced, sensing something!
She looked up, “Don’t you…”
The next moment! Their bodies appeared in mid-air!
Plummeting!
The wind howled in their ears, Lynx clung to Jiang Nan’s arm!
Tears unstoppable, “Jiang Nan! You tricked me again!”
“I don’t want you to die for me!”
“Send me back! Send me back!”
Her voice was shredded by the wind!
Jiang Nan chuckled, “Silly Lynx! Falling for the same trick twice!”
As they fell, he took off the parachute, putting it on Lynx!
Despite her struggles, he secured it on her!
Lynx cried, fighting, “Jiang Nan! You bastard!”
Jiang Nan held her face!
Their eyes locked, tears streamed from Lynx’s eyes.
Jiang Nan grinned, planting a big kiss on her forehead!
“Kiss delivered!”
“If I make it back alive, you owe me a hug!”
He pushed Lynx away, teleporting toward the plane!
Lynx reached out desperately!
But grabbed air!
Jiang Nan was just a tiny black dot in her eyes!
Her heart felt pierced by a thousand knives!
Pain!
Unbearable pain!
…
At the airport, the team watched the sky, eyes full of hope!
Su Rui’s eyes lit up, “Look! Look!”
The team got excited!
A figure broke through the clouds!
A parachute opened, landing on the runway!
Lynx!
Captain Lynx!
The team ran over excitedly, but saw Lynx collapsed on the ground!
Sobbing uncontrollably!
Wiping tears with the back of her hand!
Crying her heart out!
Unable to speak!
No one in the Dark Night Army had ever seen Lynx cry!
This woman was cold! Ruthless! Strict! Powerful!
Killed without blinking!
But now! She shed all strength, unable to hold back!
“Wah~ Wuwuwu~”
“Jiang Nan! You bastard!”
The team fell silent!
Did Jiang Nan teleport Lynx out, flying up with the nuke himself?
Goosebumps covered them!
Chen Chen glared, nearly grinding his teeth to bits!
Wang Tie kicked the car, flipping the all-terrain vehicle!
Eyes red, “Damn it!”
…
On the airliner!
Jiang Nan propped his feet on the thrust lever, lounging in the seat, humming a tune!
The nuke beside him had three minutes left.
The plane was now so high, the wings were icing!
He didn’t know if he’d survive, this was a nuclear blast!
“Tch… If I die, that’ll suck!”
He pulled out his phone, opened the video mode, and flipped the camera to himself!
Tucking the nuke under his arm, he teleported outside the plane!
And started recording!
Jiang Nan grinned!
“Ladies and gentlemen!”
“I’m now in Goose Country! On a commercial airliner!”
“In a bit, I’m gonna light a firecracker!”
“As a kid, I couldn’t afford firecrackers, never got to play!”
“Didn’t expect to set off such a big one today!”
“Worth commemorating!”
[Jiang Nan: I’ll light this firecracker and be back! Friends, five-star reviews, add to bookshelf, keep pushing!]
