Super Invincible Battleship

Chapter 209: Chapter 122: High-Altitude Horror_3

Yan Fei saw the panic on Lu Pingping’s face and immediately said, “Pingping, don’t be afraid, I’ve got this!”

It was only then that the woman in black reacted, speaking in non-standard English, “Yan Fei, how come you’re here? I remember that the deadline we set has already passed, has your ransom been transferred?”

These people in black robes had been chased by Yan Fei on the cargo ship, so they were not aware whether their ultimate goal of the kidnapping was accomplished. Now seeing Yan Fei himself, she subconsciously blurted out the question.

Yan Fei said, “The ransom has been transferred to the bank account you provided, so I’m here to take Lu Pingping back home.”

Lu Pingping was somewhat surprised, asking, “Fei, what ransom? What exactly is going on?”

The woman in black spotted Yan Fei at the door of the seaplane and knew trouble was brewing, for she had never seen anyone who was being chased manage to get onto an airplane at altitude, especially one who entered from outside. All of this seemed so unbelievable. But with the sect’s mission on her, she couldn’t help asking about the ransom. Now seeing Lu Pingping’s confusion, she explained, “We kidnapped you and demanded a ransom of 3 billion US dollars from this man, it’s that simple.”

Lu Pingping was shocked, “Fei, where do we have that much money in our account?”

Yan Fei, with a gun to his head from the woman in black and Lu Pingping still being held hostage, appeared to be at a disadvantage. However, Yan Fei suddenly made a discreet gesture with his mouth to Lu Pingping. She startled, then quickly understood and rolled her eyes in agreement.

Because Yan Fei had damaged the cabin door, the seaplane, extremely dangerous at high altitude, was slowly descending under the pilot’s control. At that moment, a flash of fire erupted in the pitch-black night sky outside the airplane, and a naval cannon round shot out, hitting the left wing of the seaplane squarely and breaking it off. The unbalanced seaplane immediately began to sink on the right side.

The woman in black, pondering how to deal with the situation, was startled as the plane suddenly began to roll. Yan Fei, accelerating, ran toward the woman in black. She quickly raised her pistol and fired a shot at Yan Fei. To her surprise, Yan Fei did not dodge, allowing the bullet to hit him directly. The woman in black was stunned, and then she realized that Lu Pingping had struggled in her arms and had actually broken free of her control.

Yan Fei’s actions were a diversion to occupy the woman in black’s attention. Then, all of a sudden, Lu Pingping exerted force and broke free from the woman’s control, running towards Yan Fei. Already shot, Yan Fei swiftly moved to intercept Lu Pingping, grabbing her hand and pulling her into his embrace. They then quickly retreated and jumped out through the damaged cabin door.

Yan Fei rescued Lu Pingping, and from the moment he jumped from the seaplane, it all happened in the blink of an eye. The woman in black had just begun to react when Yan Fei and Lu Pingping disappeared from the cockpit. This was also related to the seaplane’s wing being shot off, causing it to roll abnormally; otherwise, given the woman’s terrifying strength, even if Yan Fei had attracted her attention, an ordinary person like Lu Pingping wouldn’t have been able to escape her kidnapping. Of course, it was also because Lu Pingping understood Yan Fei’s suggestion. The two had been friends for many years and had a tacit understanding, joining forces, they somehow turned the tables and completely escaped danger.

Held in Yan Fei’s arms, Lu Pingping began free-falling from the high altitude. The rapid descent, combined with the piercing cold and strong winds, had her screaming in terror, clinging tightly to Yan Fei, not daring to look at what was happening below. Just as Yan Fei and Lu Pingping had dropped two hundred meters in height, the Drone Avatar reappeared beneath them, the cockpit door opened, and Yan Fei, with Lu Pingping in his arms, dropped right onto the seat inside the cockpit. Then the cockpit door closed once more, isolating them from the extreme cold and fierce winds outside.

Yan Fei sat in the Drone Cockpit holding Lu Pingping, and finally felt relieved. Inside the Drone Cockpit, he no longer feared someone taking Lu Pingping away, and she was completely safe. Meanwhile, Lu Pingping, having been injected with an anesthetic, had woken up due to the intense stimuli at the high altitude, but after such a tumultuous experience, soon fainted again. Yan Fei checked her breathing and found it stable, just unconscious, which put his mind at ease.

Though unconscious, Lu Pingping felt very secure in Yan Fei’s embrace. Holding onto him, it seemed as though she had found a safe place, and her anxious expression gradually calmed down. Yan Fei also held onto Lu Pingping tightly, not daring to let go, fearing she might be taken again.

Yan Fei was hit by a bullet, something that would not have happened with his strength, but he had purposely allowed it in order to draw the black-robed woman’s attention, creating the opportunity for Lu Pingping to break free. He had also controlled the location where the bullet hit, so although he was struck by a large caliber bullet, under his skillful control, his body did not suffer any serious harm. His muscles writhed, and he squeezed the bullet out, with the warhead falling onto the cockpit floor. The bleeding also stopped quickly due to the action of his muscles, demonstrating an incredibly advanced level of healing.

This time, Yan Fei’s strike had successfully rescued Lu Pingping, freeing him from his worries. But the enemy had not been completely eliminated, so the Drone swiftly took flight, quickly catching up with the seaplane ahead. Having lost one wing, the seaplane was rapidly descending and would eventually crash, with no escape for anyone inside. However, these assassins had kidnapped Lu Pingping, and Yan Fei, utterly detesting them, was not going to let them crash naturally. Thus, the Vulcan Gun on the nose of the aircraft swiveled, targeting the seaplane.

The woman in black and another pilot were about to parachute out when they saw a massive F-15 Fighter catching up from behind and attacking their seaplane with its Naval Cannon. Shocked, they leaped out, abandoning the seaplane. And just as they jumped, the seaplane was hit by the Drone’s 30-millimeter cannon fire and exploded mid-air.

Amidst the fiery glow of the seaplane’s explosion, the two assassins descended quickly. The F-15 above them descended rapidly, following them down. It then caught up with the falling figures, its nose pointing at them. It was a moment of despair for them as they saw a string of gunfire from the F-15’s nose tear the pilot to shreds. The woman in black was incredibly fierce. Realizing her teammate was eliminated, she straightened her body into a line and plummeted rapidly downward.

The Drone chased swiftly, catching up with the black-robed woman. A barrage of 30-millimeter cannon fire burst from the nose of the Drone. The rounds caught up with the black-robed woman and, without doubt, tore her body into shreds; these remnants dispersed into the surrounding air…

Thus, the case of Lu Pingping’s kidnapping came to a satisfying conclusion. Though fraught with twists and turns, Lu Pingping was ultimately saved by Yan Fei, and the assassins who kidnapped her were all taken care of by Yan Fei. Even though the mastermind behind the scenes remained at large, for Yan Fei at this moment, he felt quite content. The mastermind had to be dealt with, but what mattered most was that Lu Pingping had finally come back safely.

Yan Fei had rescued Lu Pingping, and with a joyful heart, the intense killing intent subsided, and he spared the 50,000-ton cargo ship on the sea surface. The Drone Avatar then began to descend rapidly in altitude and finally skimming the sea heading west, returning in the direction of Shanghai.
