At this moment, Qingchen no longer had the forbidden substance ACE-005 on him, so his tired face, typical of someone in the final stages of cancer, was exposed to everyone's view.
It's like a candle flickering in the wind; a stronger wind could extinguish it.
A few minutes later, a flight attendant knelt down next to Qing Chen and mustered all her strength to give a nice smile: "Mr. Qing, are you feeling unwell? There is a first-aid kit on the plane."
Qing Chen smiled and said, "I have terminal cancer, so the first-aid kit on the plane is useless to me."
The flight attendant was stunned. She found it hard to believe that the Lord of Daylight had suddenly become a dying man, and she was somewhat at a loss.
Qingchen reassured him, "I'm fine."
After hesitating for a long time, the flight attendant looked at the bag at Qingchen's feet and said, "Shall I put this bag away for you?"
Qingchen reached out to stop him: "No need, you can't touch this bag."
The flight attendant curiously examined the backpack, feeling that it was strange; there was even a pull tab on the outside of the bag, and she wondered what it was for.
This thing looks more like a... parachute?
Who carries a parachute on a plane? Are they planning to jump out if the plane crashes...?
Thinking of this, the flight attendant recalled her previous harrowing experience and couldn't help but shudder.
Qingchen gently comforted him, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. I want to be alone for a while."
As he spoke, he placed the parachute pack on the seat next to him and looked down at his phone again.
Private jets have internet access.
At this time, news media in the surface world had begun to report on Li Yunshou. Some people still believed that the Li family had betrayed the Eastern Continent Federation, while others thought that Li Yunshou was a coward who was afraid of death.
These people are out of touch with reality, so they don't know what's happening in real time.
Qingchen looked at it carefully and instructed the parents to contact the media to clarify some false reports.
He didn't want Li Yunshou to be stigmatized after his death, even though this was the surface world.
Seeing that Qingchen was unwilling to continue the conversation, the flight attendant returned to the catering room dejectedly.
The other flight attendants whispered, "You get discouraged too easily. Go talk to him again."
The flight attendant hesitated for a long time: "What should we talk about... we don't seem to have anything in common."
A slightly older crew leader whispered, "How do you know if you don't try? Others can't even get a chance to see him, but you've seen him twice and haven't even managed to exchange a word with him."
The flight attendant thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "Never mind, we're not from the same world."
They used to think that "not being from the same world" was just a way for male and female protagonists to break up in TV dramas. But in fact, when they actually met someone like Qing Chen, they realized that everything he had experienced was completely different from their own world.
You will never know what he has been through, and you won't even know what to say if you stand face to face with him, so a huge chasm exists between you.
That kind of gap is something you can't see normally; you can only feel it when you get close.
At that moment, a coughing sound came from inside the cabin. All the flight attendants looked over, and even through the curtain, they could feel Qingchen's pain and exhaustion.
"Was that person injured? I heard there's been a lot of fighting in the Underworld lately?"
The flight attendant who had spoken to Qingchen earlier said, "It's terminal cancer."
The coughing suddenly stopped, and some people gradually realized that something was wrong.
The flight attendant's expression changed, and she rushed into the cabin, only to find Qing Chen lying unconscious on the floor.
Qingchen's face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Qing!" someone exclaimed.
But when they tried to get closer, Qingchen opened his eyes again and calmly said, "Step back, don't come any closer."
His eyes were cold and ruthless, with golden lightning flowing deep within his pupils.
It felt as if anyone taking another step closer would truly die.
The flight attendants suddenly stopped in their tracks.
The next second, Qing Chen struggled to get up from the ground, smiled and wiped his mouth, then looked at the bloodstains on his clothes: "Did I scare you? I'm sorry, you are innocent. Thank you all for your hard work."
After saying that, Qing Chen picked up his backpack: "Continue on the established route."
"And what about you, Mr. Qing?" the flight attendant asked.
Qing Chen walked to the preparation room and lifted the carpet, revealing a passageway leading to the equipment room and luggage room. He calmly said, "I'll go to the luggage room alone. Remember, no one should come down."
The flight attendant asked, "Mr. Qing, your condition seems quite serious. Should we make an emergency landing and get you medical treatment first?"
Qing Chen smiled and said, "No need. I know my own condition. I don't have time."
The flight attendants looked at each other, as this was the first time they had encountered such a situation.
Ever since becoming a crew member for Qingchen, my life has seemed to take a bizarre turn.
After Qing Chen disappeared into the passageway and the passageway door closed, the flight attendant sighed, "Everyone outside thought he was glamorous and had reached the pinnacle of his life. Who would have thought that he was still carrying these burdens?"
"His journey must have been very difficult."
The parent-teacher association member in charge of aircraft security glanced at them, and while Qingchen had already entered the overhead bins, immediately went to the restroom and sent a message.
The plane continued its flight toward North America, and as it reached the airspace over the Caribbean Sea, it began to slowly descend in preparation for landing at the airport in Guatemala.
Qingchen sat in the darkness of the luggage compartment, patiently waiting for something.
He was in a daze and almost fell into a coma again. In the darkness of the luggage compartment, he seemed to be sinking into an abyss. His poor physical condition made it almost impossible for him to continue.
Just then, Qingchen's phone alarm went off, and he suddenly opened his eyes, as if all his fatigue had vanished.
His powerful willpower brought him back to his senses at this critical moment!
The plane descended from 12 kilometers to 8 kilometers. Qingchen took out goggles from his backpack, put them on, and pulled open the brake door of the overhead bins.
The sunlight from outside shone in.
An alarm sounds in the aircraft cockpit: Cabin airtightness compromised! Cabin airtightness compromised! Cabin pressure decreased!
The flight attendant anxiously asked what to do and where the damage was, but the captain glanced at the flight plan and said, "Don't worry, we'll land immediately. There's no danger."
The flight attendant said, "But Mr. Danqing is in the baggage compartment. Could something have gone wrong there? He might be suffering from oxygen deprivation. Let's make an emergency landing and find a place to land first."
The captain shook his head: "My orders are that no matter what happens, we must not change the flight path."
At this moment, the security guard stopped being sneaky and openly took out his phone to make a call: "He's about to start."
Chapter 967, Penetrating the Earth's Core
Guatemala City.
Just before the Hu Group's private jet took off from Zhengzhou, it had already reported the commencement of the flight to Guatemala.
After the flight path was leaked, the polar night organization arrived here ahead of schedule.
Qingchen's flight takes nearly 13 hours, while theirs only takes 3 hours, giving them plenty of time to prepare.
The sinkhole that Qingchen was heading to was located almost in the city center. In February 2007, a sinkhole suddenly appeared in Guatemala City, instantly swallowing up a factory building and killing five people.
The sinkhole is 20 meters in diameter and about 90 meters deep.
Afterwards, the sinkhole was not filled in, but remained in the city, surrounded by buildings.
There are even a large number of residents around the sinkhole!
At this moment, nearly a thousand members of the Polar Night Organization sealed off an area of five kilometers, waiting for Qing Chen's arrival.
Zhong Yu was sitting in a breakfast burger shop when the puppet in front of him said, "I'm pretty sure that, as of now, the Parents' Association and Kunlun's influence are still on Whale Island."
Zhong Yu found it strange: "How did you manage to plant spies in the very headquarters of the parent-teacher association? And you even arranged for a mole on the plane Qing Chen was on. How did you manage to get past their checks?"
The puppet smiled without saying a word, showing no intention of answering.
Zhong Yu sneered. He had no intention of breaking ties with the puppeteer, because he was unsure whether he could control the puppeteer by possessing the puppet.
Once he kills Qing Chen, he will naturally have time to try things out slowly.
whee.
The puppet said, "First, we need to confirm whether Qingchen has activated the Reverse Breathing Technique. This is the most crucial step."
"What?" Zhongyu glanced at him sideways: "Does that mean I can't beat him if he doesn't activate the Reverse Breathing Technique?"
The puppet thought for a moment and then smiled, saying, "It's not that I'm worried you can't beat him, but rather that I'm worried Zheng Yuandong will come to be his protector. I specifically sent a team to sabotage their territory, intending to keep Zheng Yuandong in the country. But what if he really comes?"
At this very moment, a group of Chen Clan Timewalkers, controlled by puppets, set off. They were heading to the center of Haicheng City to wreak havoc. Among them were even A-level experts. If Zheng Yuandong didn't go, the others wouldn't be able to deal with these Chen Clan gene warriors.
Over the past period of time, time travelers under the control of various forces have all been active, but the time travelers under Chen Yu's command have remained silent.
Today, this team of time travelers has become the Puppeteer's greatest asset in the surface world!
The puppeteer turned the leader into a puppet and brainwashed the entire team.
These people, dressed in plainclothes, killed anyone they saw once they entered the city center, and only began to fight and retreat after the Kunlun members arrived.
They intend to keep Kunlun and Zheng Yuandong within the country until Qingchen dies.
Zhongyu asked, "When will your men make their move?"
The puppet glanced at the time: "It's starting."
...
...
The wind above was incredibly fierce, making Qing Chen's clothes flutter loudly, and his thin figure swayed as if he might be blown away at any moment.
He stood by the cabin door, gripping the door tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the ground beneath his feet.
The plane has arrived over Guatemala City, the capital of Guatemala. The ground is dotted with the lights of thousands of homes, and even a villa looks as small as an ant.
Finding a sinkhole at this altitude is like searching for a grain of sand at other times.
Once you jump, you must approach the sinkhole without opening your parachute, without wearing a flying suit, and solely through body control.
The parachute can only be deployed after entering the sinkhole.
This means that if he can't find the right spot, Qingchen will be slapped onto the ground like a pancake.
He stood silently beside the cabin, waiting.
