Chapter 238 Avoiding the Giant Bear
Their spaceship was the one that carried nearly 100,000 Earth refugees into space back then, so its size is self-evident. Yet this giant zombie bear is comparable to their spaceship.
In order to prevent this groundbreaking spaceship from being destroyed, without needing any reminders from Gu Nanfeng and the others, Lu Yuan himself unhesitatingly retrieved it into his spatial storage. Then, the group of them instantly teleported onto a helicopter.
The eight people fighting the bear pack on the ground were stunned by the sudden disappearance of the spaceship and the sudden appearance of the helicopter. They never expected that in that brief moment of hesitation, one of them would be torn to pieces by four or five bears. After tearing the man apart, the zombie bears moved on to their next target, while the normal bears began to feast. In such a harsh environment, even a bite of meat was a rare treat for them.
Lu Yuan and his group watched everything unfold on the ground from the helicopter. The giant bear, having failed to hit their spaceship again, bared its teeth and roared. It angrily swung its thick forelimbs, creating a powerful gust of air that nearly caused their newly switched helicopter to lose its balance.
However, helicopters are much more maneuverable than spaceships. Ji Lang jumped into the pilot's seat without hesitation and steered the helicopter in the opposite direction from the giant bear. The giant bear missed its next few swipes, becoming visibly more agitated. It kept pounding its chest, roaring, and stomping its feet. The six people on the ground could no longer even stand, and were gradually pounced upon and torn apart by the surrounding bear pack until only bright red bloodstains remained on the ground.
After flying out of the giant bear's attack range, they should have flown directly away from the border and headed south towards the South China base. However, Ji Lang did not fly away immediately but hovered.
Lin Yun had been observing the giant bear behind them, but the sudden hovering left him puzzled. The giant bear was getting closer and closer, but their helicopter remained hovering. He was completely baffled and could only ask Ji Lang for help.
"what's the situation?"
Before Ji Lang could answer, Lin Yun saw a safe base hidden in the snow, tilted 30 degrees below the helicopter. On top of the base, a row of missile launchers were aimed at their helicopter.
Out of humanitarian considerations, Ji Lang and his team couldn't destroy the missile launchers at this secure base, as they might be its mainstay in resisting the bear pack. After a moment's thought, Ji Lang decisively turned the helicopter around and flew towards the giant bears. Because they didn't get any closer to the base, the base's missiles didn't fire at them.
Ji Lang also showed off his skills, piloting the helicopter out from under the giant bear's raised arm and flying directly into the endless expanse of shimmering white.
The giant bear couldn't stand being toyed with like this, so it turned around and chased after the helicopter. It seemed to be the leader of the bear pack, after all, it was the largest among them. So when it turned around, the bears on the ground followed its footsteps and chased after the helicopter.
"Holy crap, I never imagined that one day I'd be chased by vines in the afternoon and a giant bear chasing my plane at night." Ji Lang finally relaxed a bit. Because Lu Yuan's helicopter was a military-grade one, they flew very fast. Although the giant bear kept chasing them, they still managed to maintain a relatively safe distance and successfully made a large circle, returning to Chinese territory.
"That's so exciting!" Yang Xiao echoed Ji Lang from behind, which made Ji Lang laugh from the bottom of his heart.
"Luckily, Lu Xiaoyuan woke up, otherwise we would have been flattened by the vines long ago." Pei Sihao patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder. Now that the giant bear and the bear pack were getting further and further away from them, everyone relaxed.
"Yeah, if it were that stingy guy, he wouldn't have saved us at all; he would have run away with the boxes long ago." Yang Xiao was still furious when he remembered Lu Yuan eating boxed lunches on the helicopter while they could only eat compressed biscuits.
"A box?" Lu Yuan was a little confused. He didn't have the memory of the other Lu Yuan appearing when he was unconscious, so he didn't know that during his unconsciousness, Gu Nanfeng and the others had entered the underground laboratory of the Beijing Research Institute again and successfully obtained the box containing the last batch of human physique enhancement drugs that Jiang Xing had mentioned.
“Yes, it’s from the underground laboratory of the Beijing Research Institute,” Yang Xiao explained.
Just when everyone thought it was safe, the helicopter suddenly shook. Before Ji Lang could react, he felt as if the helicopter's rotor was stuck, and he couldn't even hear the rotor spinning. However, their helicopter did not fall because the rotor stopped spinning, but just stood there in the air.
"Holy crap, it's that wood-type zombie!" Lin Yun immediately looked out the window and saw a thick vine shooting straight up to the sky from the left side of their helicopter, then wrapping around their propeller as if carrying a lantern.
"No way, we're in Northeast China now, over a thousand kilometers from Beijing." Yang Xiao couldn't believe this was still the same wood-type zombie. "Could it be a different kind of zombie?"
"It's not impossible." Pei Sihao shrugged. After all, the zombie group is not small, and they should be able to communicate with each other. It's just that humans don't know how they communicate.
"Damn it, what's the use of the stuff in this box?" Yang Xiao was furious. To him, this box was the root of all evil, and now he couldn't wait to open it and see what was so special about the potion inside.
“No, once the box is stored in Lu Yuan’s space, there shouldn’t be any possibility of it being tracked,” Gu Nanfeng pondered. “Lu Yuan’s space isn’t a spatial ability, but a spatial ring from the interstellar era. Such things don’t belong to this era. According to normal reasoning, anything put in it is equivalent to disappearing from this world. The zombies shouldn’t be able to locate us based on the box anymore.”
"Did we accidentally provoke another wood-type zombie?" Lin Yun didn't quite understand Gu Nanfeng's conclusion, but he also felt that Gu Nanfeng was unlikely to make a mistake on this kind of issue, so he could only look for reasons in other directions.
“It’s not impossible,” Ji Lang said, glancing at the ground as he spoke.
Although it is already night, since they are all superhumans, and even the least capable Lu Yuan has the added benefit of a mecha, it is not difficult for them to see the ground clearly in complete darkness.
