Thrive in Catastrophe by 焦糖冬瓜

Chapter 23 I Will Teach Him To Be Powerful

"A distraction? Like what?"

Lily's palm was soaked in sweat. It seems that news of the research craft crashes had already made its way around.

"We kiss! The more passionate, the better, then you won't think about crashing."

Xiao glanced at her with a flirtatious half lidded look, his smile a bit enigmatic, as something sour seemed to sit in stomach.

"Xiao Yan, if you put half that energy dedicated to such vulgar humor onto your class work, than perhaps you wouldn't be on a class B aircraft right now."

"Ah, don't you think the only times we really know what we want is when we are faced with such situations?"

"But don't be afraid, this time the captain of the craft is of significant rank. He is very experienced, he won't be so easily invaded by a blocker."

Several students hurry to comfort Lily, while keeping one eye to glare at Xiao Yan.

Below them the ruined cities gave way to a vast green forest.

"It's beautiful ..." Xiao Yan exlaimed.

He remembered picking the leaf up that day of the crash. He couldn't help but stop and grab a specimen, but the leaf eventually withered and then shattered.

"Beautiful?" Lily looked up at Xiao, horrified, "after the comet virus who knows how many murderous beasts live under this beauty! I'm glad I didn't kiss you, I might have caught your idiocy."

Xiao just shrugged his shoulders. His opinion unchanged. He knew that even without the comet virus, nature was constantly shifting and evolving. Ready to reveal her scariest fangs amid her elegance.

Thinking about everything, Xiao suddenly had a bad feeling. He didn't know whether he had encountered too many bushes with disaster, but suddenly he had a feeling this trip would not run smoothly.

Suddenly the craft quaked and the students shouted loudly, they hastily grasped the safety rails and soothed themselves.

"don't worry, don't worry..."

Perhaps it was just some turbulence.

The students, who had just cast disdainful glares at Xiao, were now embarrassed to have gotten so shaken. Xiao narrowed his eyes as he thought to himself.

They were flying at such a low altitude.

Could it really just be turbulence?

After experiencing two blocker invasions, Xiao felt an ominous sensation scratch at his heart.

Before he could even think, the aircraft tilted suddenly and the cabin erupted in screams once again.

The cabin radio switched on and the students became even more frightened. "ALERT ALERT. left engine malfunction. Left engine not aligned."

" "What's going on?" Lily squeezed close to Xiao Yan her hair brushing his face, her voice was tiny the sound barely squeezing past her throat.

The craft has only one engine left.

A cry for help sounded through the radio, "Someone come help. We have a blocker invasion. Captain Jon cannot operate the craft."

Everyone was stunned. "What..A...A...blocker?!"

Xiao Yan closed his eyes, a coldness seeping through his heart. Sure enough it was a blocker invasion.

"Is Captain Jon trapped?" It was a delicate way of asking if he would wake up, from the blocker invasion.
