Alice saw those black cars... each one had windows five centimeters thick; they were bulletproof cars.
She searched online and eventually found the vehicle information on a forum: Maybach Pullman bulletproof version.
She couldn't find the price, but only 15 of them were produced worldwide in 2023, and they were all in that fleet.
At this point, the price of a car is no longer important.
This is a symbol of status and position.
Now, she couldn't understand why someone so wealthy would risk their life without knowing how to fly a wingsuit.
Just as they were speaking, the roar of helicopter rotors filled the air above the training base, and huge gusts of air swept up the snow on the mountain.
Sorel was awakened by the sound of the helicopter. He ran outside and saw an Airbus H225 Super Puma circling in the sky: "These helicopters actually come to our training base! Alice, who are they? Are they our new trainees?"
This helicopter cost $27 million to build and can carry 24 passengers.
Just then, a cable was lowered from the helicopter, and 20 fully armed members of the Parents' Association quickly descended along the cable and swiftly completed the deployment and security of the training base.
Sorel was dumbfounded. He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Hey, hey, this is a civilian training base. Who are you people? Marines? CIA?"
However, the parents' association members only glanced at him before walking past him.
They approached Qingchen, and Xiao Wu, with an automatic rifle slung across his chest, smiled and said, "Parents, we're here."
Qingchen sighed helplessly, “I told you not to be so ostentatious. Go into the mountains and set up a hidden stakeout. Maybe some guests will come.”
“Understood. We brought white ghillie suits and twelve snipers,” Xiao Wu said. “Anyone who dares to bother you again this time will definitely be in trouble.”
Alice and Sorel stared blankly as the people in white ghillie suits disappeared into the mountains, and at the same time, their cell phones lost signal.
Qing Chen said earnestly, "I'm very sorry, but the training ahead is very important to me, so please take it seriously. If there's an opportunity in the future, I will explain everything that's happening now to you."
Sorel nodded numbly.
Daylight.
With a roar, two helicopters took off and slowly approached the most suitable parachute landing area.
Sorel, wearing a headset, looked at Qingchen: "No, the wind is too strong today, you'll die!"
Qingchen smiled and looked at him: "You know, I saw Sherpas on Mount Everest, and I asked them why they didn't wait for the black storm to pass before climbing to the summit. They said it was all fate's arrangement."
As he spoke, he checked his flying squirrel suit one last time: "Ready!"
Qing Chen had no choice. He knew very well what he was doing and what failure and success meant.
Sorel muttered, "This is madman...it's starting!"
Qing Chen took a deep breath, leaped from the helicopter, and stretched his body in the air to maximize the wind resistance of the flying squirrel suit.
He felt the surging air currents and flew into the distance like an arrow. Sorel, wearing a camera helmet, also jumped down after him.
Sorel wanted to record Qingchen's flight process and then return to the training base to analyze and review it for Qingchen step by step.
That's the significance of his sky-high salary.
Qingchen felt the wind moving, and his adrenaline began to surge due to the immense sense of crisis, putting him into a state of extreme excitement.
Sorel glanced at the altimeter with some confusion. The altitude had dropped to 1400 meters, and the speed had reached a terrifying 240 km/h.
But Qing Chen, the beginner, had no intention of stopping. Instead, he tightened his flying squirrel suit slightly to reduce wind resistance, and he actually wanted to increase his speed again... to more than 280 kilometers per hour!
Just then, as they crossed the mountain stream, a sudden gust of turbulent air swept from east to west. The wind was so fast and intense that Qing Chen was instantly swirled into a spinning top in the air. Even Sorel, with his years of experience, barely managed to steady himself.
Sorel was shocked when he saw Qing Chen's out-of-control figure. It's over!
At this point, their altitude had dropped to 600 meters. Keep in mind that below them was the foot of the Alps, which was 400 meters above sea level.
In other words, there is only 200 meters of buffer space left for Qingchen!
Sorel shouted into the comms: "Don't panic, don't be anxious. Listen to me now. You need to spread your wings as wide as possible, and then pull up the parachute the instant your chest and abdomen hit the ground! Don't panic!"
The next moment, Qing Chen's steady and calm voice came through the communication channel: "Okay."
Sorel was taken aback. There was no panic in the other person's voice at all; it was as steady as walking on flat ground, without even the slightest tremor.
Am I, this student, really a normal person?
In an instant, as Qing Chen's body landed on his chest and abdomen with his back facing the sky, he reached behind him with his right hand, precisely located his control strap, and pulled it forcefully!
The latch pin inside the parachute pack was ripped off, and the drag parachute was pulled out of the canopy along with the control strap.
A huge parachute opened in the sky, and Sorel also opened his parachute, and the two of them quickly descended.
Because of the excessive speed and insufficient buffer distance, the air turbulence was too strong, and Qing Chen was blown towards one side of the mountain wall by the turbulence and crashed into it hard.
Qingchen's parachute was affected by the mountain wall and became tangled, causing Qingchen to stumble and tumble downwards.
Sorel exclaimed, "Watch out!"
With a whoosh, the parachute cord was severed by something, completely separating it from Qingchen.
Only at this moment did Qingchen manage to grab onto a protruding corner of the cliff and barely manage to hang on it.
Sorel was stunned; an ordinary person would have been dead long ago!
After landing on the ground, he looked up and saw Qing Chen climb up the steep mountain wall with his bare hands, retrieve the severed parachute, and then climb down again.
At a time like this, you still have the mood for garbage recycling...
Sorel looked at Qing Chen, who was covered in injuries, and was somewhat furious: "This is the price you pay for starting wingsuit flying without any training."
Qing Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just the beginning."
"Huh?" Sorel was stunned.
The helicopter flew over the two men and lowered a rope ladder to bring them back to safety.
While sitting in the helicopter, Sorel was still in shock when Qingchen calmly unpacked a new parachute and started folding it!
Qingchen looked at him and said, "Hurry up and fold the parasols."
"What do you mean?" Sorel asked in surprise.
"I want to jump one more time before lunchtime," Qingchen said calmly.
Sorel: "?"
Why do you say that so casually? Just now, you almost died in the Alps, and now you're saying you're going to jump again and then rush back for lunch?!
It's as if you weren't the one who almost died!
Chapter 911, Man and Arrow Through the Target: A Matter of Life and Death
At night, Alice was preparing a sumptuous meal in the kitchen. She was so busy that even the two assistant coaches from the training base came to help fry steaks, but she was still a little overwhelmed...
Around midnight, 20 parents, led by Xiao Wu, attended the meeting.
Then, around noon, another 40 parents arrived, led by Xiaoqi.
Then, in the evening, Yu Cheng even sent 20 members of the Kyushu organization.
The once quiet training base suddenly became lively.
It's as lively as Christmas in the West.
These people who came were all the elite of the elite.
Without a Level B certificate, they won't even let you register.
Alice was stunned by the bustling scene at the training base: "How can there be so many people!"
In Qing Chen's words, the puppeteers already know his location at this training base, and they will definitely pass the information to the Kingdom Organization so that the Kingdom can cause trouble.
In the past, he would have carefully changed locations, even if it took a little longer.
But things are different now; it's becoming increasingly difficult to find a suitable venue for such a life-or-death challenge.
Even if we find it, can we guarantee that it won't be leaked?
His time is precious, so he's going to confront it head-on.
If a guest is coming, then let him come.
...
...
Qing Chen dragged his tired and battered body back to the base.
When Alice saw that Qingchen's clothes were all tattered, she immediately exclaimed, "What happened? Didn't we agree at lunch that we wouldn't take any more risks this afternoon?"
Sorel said helplessly, "He tried six times in one day. Even when the visibility was poor at night, he would fly again. I have never seen anyone risk their life like this."
He looked at Qingchen's battered body; the boy seemed to know no pain whatsoever.
I don't even know I'm tired.
Qing Chen asked with a smile, "Is the food ready? I'm hungry."
At the training base, when his family members saw him enter, they all immediately stood up: "Parents!"
Sorelton suddenly felt like he was watching an Italian gangster movie; these are all Mafia...
"Sit down, everyone," Qingchen said cheerfully. "Alice, their accommodation and food expenses will be settled by someone. Make sure they are well-fed."
Xiao Qi said from the side, "We have a total of 40 people, working in two shifts to closely monitor the road up the mountain. The snipers are also working in two shifts; they are on the ridge, and no one can get past them to get up. Don't worry, they have all eaten nine 'Wenhan' pills, so they are resistant to the cold."
Qing Chen nodded and then looked at Yu Cheng: "What brings you here? I heard you've taken over from Boss He and are now the acting president of Kyushu? Congratulations!"
Yu Cheng looked at him and said, "I'm just acting temporarily. Boss He once said that if he were to pass away, we should select a virtuous and capable person from within Kyushu to be the president, and he wouldn't care who it was. Qing Chen, do you remember that you joined Kyushu?"
Qing Chen: "..."
Are they waiting for me here?
In fact, Yu Cheng and his team were also in a dilemma. When they returned last time, the core management of Kyushu was discussing who should take over.
At the meeting, someone suggested that Jiu Ran come.
Some people suggested sending Yu Cheng.
In the end, Jiu Ran suddenly said: Qing Chen is also from Kyushu.
