Meng Chao was now hiding behind a massive propeller blade.
Because the Crystal Engine driving this propeller had not been activated, the blade remained still. Together with the airship's balloon blocking the line of sight, he did not need to worry about being spotted by patrolling drones for the next fifty-seven seconds.
But he had to cross a distance of 17.35 meters to leap onto the exterior of the Core Pod where Lü Siya was about to be delivered.
After that, he would have to open a passage from the outside of the Core Pod before he could slip inside and reach Lü Siya's side.
A passage did exist.
For the flexibility of independent combat, every modular unit composing the Golden Roc consisted of a balloon, an engine, a propeller, and a pod.
And so that repairs could be carried out from the outside when the propeller and Crystal Engine suffered external attacks,
there was usually a maintenance passage between the Crystal Engine and the propeller, which could be opened from within so maintenance personnel could crawl out and carry out emergency damage-control operations.
The problem was that the entrance and exit of such maintenance passages were obviously opened and closed from the inside.
At most, one could feel a few seams and rivets from the outside. No matter how strong one was, it would be difficult to force them open—and even if they were forced open, the alarm system would detect it.

As expected, the module where he was hiding also had its own maintenance passage, its entrance likewise sealed tight by a heavy hatch.
