Flying in the fighter jet, they arrived at the energy station, carrying several tons of electromagnetic pulse weapons. They quickly left the station at full speed, taking less than two minutes.
In the quiet night, the solar panels reflected moonlight, creating a magnificent scene. Each large solar panel seemed to be desperately absorbing energy, but the faint moonlight was not enough to restore the operation of the energy station.
In a matter of seconds, the energy station was left far behind, and a white residential community appeared beneath them. Every house looked exactly the same.
Countless Mag residents gathered on the streets, talking anxiously, unaware of why the power had gone out at the top level.
During that period, there had been unrest in the Tree of Life, and the large-scale power outage seemed to signal an unknown major event that was about to occur.
People were obviously not concerned about the power outage itself but rather the uncertain future.
“Have you flown this type of fighter jet before?” klet asked while sitting in the co-pilot seat, flipping through the operational instructions of the fighter jet.
Shen Siwei pushed the control lever to the maximum, activating semi-automatic cruise mode. “We learned during military school.”
The instruction manual, consisting of over two hundred pages, was filled with detailed diagrams and text. klet glanced through a few pages before throwing it aside and asked Shen Siwei, “What did you learn in military school?”
“Mainly physical training,” Shen Siwei leaned back in the seat, looking at the stars within arm’s reach above his head. “There was also some theoretical knowledge, but I wasn’t interested.”
“Even if you weren’t interested, did you pay attention in class?” klet asked.
“No,” Shen Siwei chuckled softly, shifting his gaze to klet beside him. “That’s why my theoretical grades were always poor.”
Those were things from many years ago. Now looking back, the images seemed to be covered with a yellowish filter.
klet silently looked at Shen Siwei, not saying anything for a while. After a moment, he stood up from the co-pilot seat and squeezed himself next to Shen Siwei, wrapping his arm around his waist. “I want to hold you.”
“Okay,” Shen Siwei adjusted the seat to a flat position and practically gave most of the seat to klet, while he himself lay in klet’s embrace.
Indeed, he liked leaning against klet. The warmth was like a small sun, and the solid chest provided an overwhelming sense of security.
“If we make it through this,” Shen Siwei’s face moved slightly against klet’s chest, and he heard the deep voice that he liked. “Is there something you’d like to do?”
“Yes,” Shen Siwei lazily replied, “I want to give you a tattoo.”
klet chuckled helplessly, “You certainly hold grudges.”
“If you could remember my appearance, maybe when I overheard your conversation with Avis, I would have remembered who you were,” Shen Siwei said.
“Well, that’s not my fault,” klet used his index finger to play with the hair at the back of Shen Siwei’s head. “It was raining at the time, and you were scorched by the fire. I only remembered you looked like a lump of coal.”
Shen Siwei raised an eyebrow, “And you still consider a lump of coal as your ideal type?”
“Yes,” klet used his other hand to hold Shen Siwei’s chin, making him tilt his head up. “I like black hair and black eyes.”
“In that case,” Shen Siwei remained motionless, looking up at klet, but his hair color, eye color, and skin color quietly changed.
His hair turned into a bright golden color, his eyes became clear blue, and his skin went from wheat-colored to milky white. A familiar figure appeared before klet’s eyes.
“Negotiator,” klet suddenly tightened his grip around Shen Siwei’s waist, burying his lips in his.
The anticipated feeling of suffocation did not arise as Shen Siwei remembered that he had taken the spider capsule and wouldn’t suffocate even if klet kissed him.
Realizing this, the accumulated frustration surged up within him, and Shen Siwei immediately took the initiative instead of being passive. Straddling Klet’s waist, he boldly plundered the air from klet’s mouth.
He could definitely do it.
He would kiss klet until he was breathless.
However, a long time passed, and klet showed no signs of suffocating. Instead, he skillfully slipped his hand into the hem of Shen Siwei’s clothes, heading towards his crotch area.
“Enough,” Shen Siwei was the one who finally couldn’t catch his breath. He held Klet’s misbehaving hand, gasping for air as he leaned on klet’s chest. “Let’s do that after we survive this.”
klet raised his wrist to look at his watch. “We still have five minutes.”
By now, the fighter jet had left the top level and entered thick clouds.
Carrying such heavy pulse weapons, the fighter jet took longer to leave the top level than expected. Now, encountering resistance from the clouds, the maximum speed of the aircraft was reduced.
Shen Siwei couldn’t help but worry. Just then, Klet suddenly said, “I just realized that this fighter jet doesn’t have an ejection system.”
“What?” Shen Siwei was stunned and looked at Klet, asking, “Did you think there was an ejection system, so you followed me?”
With the current technology, an ejection seat could guarantee the successful ejection of a pilot at speeds below Mach 3. However, Miller’s official vehicle was traveling at nearly Mach 5, and once a person left the cockpit, they would instantly be torn apart by the powerful airflow.
Furthermore, that fighter jet was equipped with the most advanced intelligent system, and the probability of an accident was nearly zero. Therefore, it wasn’t equipped with an ejection seat for escape.
It was similar to many high-speed trains not having seat belts. Either there would be no accidents, or if there were accidents, seat belts wouldn’t help.
“Well,” Klet said nonchalantly, “Even if I knew there wasn’t one, I would still have followed you.”
“Are you really…” Shen Siwei sat up, supporting himself on Klet’s chest, furrowing his brows as he looked at him, “Are you really intending to go down with me?”
“No.” Klet said carelessly, “I know how capable my lover is. If you can survive, you definitely won’t let me die.”
“Are you joking with your own life?”
“No.” Klet’s tone suddenly turned serious, “If you die, I don’t want to live either.”
“….Such a stubborn brat.” Shen Siwei sighed and couldn’t do anything about Klet.
Amor saw his own light in the darkness, and when he lost that light, he went crazy. Without even thinking, if Klet were to lose Shen Siwei again, he would only become even more insane than Amor.
Being with Shen Siwei in death was already his most restrained course of action.
The fighter jet passed through the thick layer of clouds and gradually left the range of the third layer. At that moment, the view of the Life Tree became more clear. Only a few spots were lit up with scattered lights, probably powered by reserve batteries. But apart from that, the entire Life Tree was shrouded in an ominous darkness.
Looking at the time, there was less than a minute remaining.
The brief calm before the storm was gone. Klet put away his nonchalant attitude, showing his nervousness for the impending storm.
Since Amor hadn’t started the weapon at an exact time, Dr. Chen could only give an approximate time.
The appearance of the pulse could happen in the next second or in ten seconds, and this uncertainty made both of them tense.
Suddenly, a blue light wave appeared below the fighter jet, resembling an exploding shockwave. A visible blue halo continuously radiated outward.
The fighter jet was the first to be hit by the pulse. All four engines shut down simultaneously, and the cockpit instantly fell into darkness. The buttons on the instrument panel completely malfunctioned, and the control stick that was originally fixed in the forward position slowly slid back as the fighter jet began to drop.
Although everything had already been anticipated, Shen Siwei didn’t dare to relax.
“You go to the other side and don’t let the cabin lose balance.”
Shen Siwei began manually controlling the fighter jet’s wings and tail, trying to keep the aircraft as balanced as possible and prevent it from losing control and spiraling.
Klet fastened the seatbelt in the co-pilot seat and asked, “What’s our current altitude?”
“I don’t know,” Shen Siwei replied. The instrument panel had already malfunctioned, so he could only estimate based on the height of the Life Tree. “Around four thousand meters, approximately.”
“It’s still too high,” Klet frowned.
At that altitude, even if they were to crash into the sea, not just the pilot but the entire aircraft would be torn to pieces.
“The fighter jet is decelerating. If we continue gliding like this—”
Before Shen Siwei could finish his sentence, they suddenly encountered dense clouds ahead. The fighter jet started shaking uncontrollably, and the sensation of weightlessness occurred intermittently. Shen Siwei couldn’t steady his hands and accidentally let go of the control stick, causing the aircraft to roll.
The entire cabin spun around, leaving Shen Siwei disoriented and dizzy. He couldn’t even see the position of the control stick clearly. However, Klet, who had unfastened his seatbelt, managed to grab the control stick after bumping into the surroundings several times, stabilizing the aircraft.
By that time, the fighter jet had passed through the second layer and was only one or two thousand meters above the bottom layer.
However, to the naked eye, the outskirts of the bottom layer were still a considerable distance away. If they descended like that, the fighter jet wouldn’t be able to reach the coastline.
“This won’t work,” Klet returned to the co-pilot seat and frowned, saying, “We’ll crash on land.”
Since their high-altitude drop, the fighter jet’s vertical speed had become terrifying. Without hesitation, Shen Siwei quickly made his way to the middle of the aircraft and, as they flew over the industrial zone, he removed the non-functioning pulse weapon.
The several-ton weapon dropped straight to the ground, creating a deafening sound and leaving behind an enormous and deep crater. But at the same time, the descent speed of the fighter jet instantly slowed down. After a short while, they managed to fly over the towering walls of the bottom layer.
However, even so, it wasn’t a time for them to relax.
“The impact is coming.”
The sea level was right ahead, and Shen Siwei could almost see the shadows of strange fish underwater.
He walked back to the cabin from the middle of the aircraft instead of returning to the pilot seat. He bent down and covered Klet with his body. “Stay still,” he said.
Klet was slightly taken aback. “What are you doing?”
Shen Siwei replied, “This way, you’ll experience the least impact.”
Klete furrowed his brow. “Shen Siwei…”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Shen Siwei pressed Klet’s head against his neck. “Since you know how capable your lover is, don’t be stubborn at a time like this.”
There was no time for further words. In the next instant, a massive shockwave struck as the fighter jet plunged into the sea level.
Shen Siwei held Klet tightly, and an unprecedented sense of pain spread throughout his body. He felt as if his body was being torn apart, and even the cold seawater couldn’t alleviate the agony.
All sound disappeared, and silence covered the surroundings, more terrifying than suffocation. In the end, Shen Siwei couldn’t hold on and lost consciousness amidst intense pain…
1Dr. Chen is not the antagonist. They still need him to repair Shen’s body.
