My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 429 - 400 Floating Airship Carrying Passengers (Long - )_2
Chapter 429: Chapter 400 Floating Airship Carrying Passengers (Long Chapter)_2
It wasn’t tacit understanding.
Rather, the guild had released a message inviting top adventure groups to reside in newly established local branches.
Adventurers were very pragmatic.
They often refrained from engaging in activities that offered no benefits.
If the Sanctuary allowed us to go to these branches, we would dutifully comply.
We were adventurers who yearned for freedom.
However, at the branch offices, lucrative missions awaited them while at the Green Shadow headquarters, the rapidly increasing number of registered adventurers and a limited total number of assignments slowly led to a shortage.
To earn money, to buy equipment, to grow stronger, to become a figure capable of teasing the newcomers, it was mandatory to visit the foreign branches.
And it was necessary to hurry, lest the local Awakeners snatch up the tasks.
At this moment, the adventurers were even more anxious than with their territories.
...
He Yuanhang waited somewhat anxiously, but the guild’s notice didn’t specify an exact time, merely mentioning that "the guild is responsible for safely transporting them to Sanctuaries across the region."
"Brother Qiang, what exactly is the guild planning? They’re not planning to form a convoy to escort us to the Sanctuaries, are they? It’d be better if we went on our own."
With their strength, as long as they had a map and avoided certain Forbidden Lands, crossing hundreds of kilometers of wilderness wasn’t difficult.
But it would be troublesome and time-consuming.
Fang Qiang shook his head, "I couldn’t find out the specifics through my contacts, but I’ve heard that the Sanctuaries have a swift means of transport that could take us hundreds of kilometers away within a few hours."
"A few hours? How is that possible! Even before the apocalypse, driving hundreds of kilometers would take several hours, let alone now, unless it involves flying, but nowadays, the skies are completely dominated by Flying Demonized Beasts. Neither fighter jets nor Flying Series ability users dare to venture into the aerial domain, not to mention ordinary civilian aircraft—"
He Yuanhang was completely incredulous, then suddenly saw Fang Qiang lift his head, and the others also looked up in unison, staring behind him with eyes full of disbelief.
The sunlight was blocked, casting a massive shadow over him.
Startled, He Yuanhang quickly looked up and saw... a massive object slowly moving across the sky about thirty meters up.
The shadow gradually moved away, and under the sunlight, the huge airship, its armor gleaming, floated in the air.
After this enormous object moved off, it slowly descended onto an open space outside the business district.
"What is that...?"
While He Yuanhang was still puzzling over what had just flown over, he saw many Awakeners rushing toward where the massive airship had landed.
These people moved extremely quickly, some running across rooftops, others leaping from street light poles with agility like in martial arts films... Quickly, the open space in front of the guild became sparse, filled with adventurers, many of whom he recognized also disappeared.
Even his team members vanished, leaving only their backs disappearing at the end of the street.
He Yuanhang’s face darkened, seriously!
Had they no regard for the leader of this adventure group?
He couldn’t afford to delay either, propelling his legs to sprint, quickly overtaking the ordinary Awakeners. But seeing a human jam up ahead on the streets, He Yuanhang surveyed the surroundings, leaped lightly, and landed on a Source Power streetlamp. Then, with the help of the lamp and the trees on both sides of the street, he jumped high and landed softly.
The action was so gentle that not a single leaf on the tree trunk was shaken off.
Only a master with such strong control could take this unusual path. Other Awakeners, even if they had sufficient leaping strength, would trigger the arrival of the Guardian Corps if they knocked off leaves, broke branches, or damaged the Source Power streetlamps, either paying a heavy compensation in Source Crystals or, worse, being sent to the mines.
There were no few Awakeners who had lost even their underwear in the early days.
...
When He Yuanhang arrived, the huge airship was stationary on the open ground, with a gangway lowered from the deck.
Adventurers who had arrived earlier crowded around it in layers but couldn’t get close. Several Guardians in Combat Uniforms stood guard around the airship, maintaining order.
A Captain Level individual was shouting loudly, his Qi Blood Power imbued in his voice, spreading across the entire area and drowning out the noisy discussions.
"...This flight’s destination is Pingliang Sanctuary, with a limited seating of three hundred people. The flight is currently free of charge but is only open to adventurers of two stars and above, with priority given to those of higher rank... For those who don’t qualify or can’t get a ticket, don’t be discouraged, similar flights will become increasingly frequent..."
Undoubtedly, they would be taking this Floating Airship vehicle from Green Shadow to Pingliang.
He Yuanhang hadn’t expected that Green Shadow would actually be taking them by air.
At that moment,
some of the top adventure groups, under the coordination and command of the Guardian Corps members, were boarding the Floating Airship in an orderly fashion.
Many more adventure groups were still watching, partly because Pingliang was just one of the many large Sanctuaries being set up, and top adventurers naturally wouldn’t all root themselves in the same place to compete.
On the other hand, some were still worried.
"The sky is the domain of the Flying Demonized Beasts, and the Floating Airship, being such a conspicuous target, might immediately attract Flying Demonized Beasts once it takes to the sky. Plus, the Floating Airship itself is so large, it might not even be able to escape."
"Flying is indeed convenient and fast, but safety is a concern. Even fighter jets haven’t been seen for a long time, let alone Floating Airships..."
He Yuanhang saw many people shaking their heads, looking like they wanted to board but were worried that the safety measures weren’t up to par.
