Escape from Death! The Probe Is Finally in Hand!
Hahahaha
"The roc rises with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high!"
Holding the rudimentary Gliding Wing in his hand, Su Mo kept adjusting the grip angle to ensure he could achieve maximum turning speed and avoid rushing straight into the fire.
In the sight of all the kobolds behind him, Su Mo seemed to have sprouted wings and flew away into the distance.
Woof! Woof woof woof! Once the first kobold started barking, the barking of all the kobolds on the city wall immediately joined together.
Unpowered Gliding Wing are the closest thing humans can do to flying like birds, and a sport that allows people to see the Earth from above.
Riding the wind, dancing with the wind!
At this moment, Su Mo was extremely grateful that he still had Survival Points left, enough to create this magical thing! Just like a paper airplane without power always gradually descends, a powerless delta wing is always descending relative to the air and needs to rely on updrafts to rise and fly far.
The most typical example of an updraft is a thermal updraft.
Beside the already blazing fire, aided by the hot air currents, Su Mo flew higher and higher, faster and faster, even breaking through to one or two hundred meters, and was still rising wildly.
Unpowered hang gliding does not require high physical fitness or stamina; a normal beginner training course can usually be completed in about seven days.
Under good circumstances, after more than ten days of practice, some students can fly for several tens of minutes at a time using the dynamic airflow.
This sport is not dangerous. Although Su Mo had only tried it a few times under the guidance of a coach, his strong physical coordination allowed him to "learn it without a teacher."
"It turns out that so many people pursue extreme sports, this kind of repeated leaps on the line between life and death, and the feeling is actually so wonderful."
As the fire raged, Su Mo, controlling his center of gravity on the pole, adjusted his gliding angle while reflecting on his actions.
As for the Black-Clothed Woman behind him, she remained silent, clearly having fainted from fright.
"This woman wasn't stunned by the electric shock, but she was terrified by being airborne."
The louder the kobolds behind him barked, the more excited Su Mo became.
In the eyes of all the kobolds, flying in the air made Su Mo seem to possess the magical "magic" that they also longed for! "Right now I fly with a delta wing, but once I build an airplane, hehe, with air superiority, at least ninety percent of the enemies will only be able to watch me!"
After passing the fire, the updrafts were much smaller. Su Mo tried pushing the stick to raise the nose of the machine, increasing the angle of attack and gradually reducing the speed.
Of course, the speed of Gliding Wing cannot be reduced indefinitely.
When the angle of attack increases to a large extent, and the airfoil forms a sharp angle with the incoming airflow, the air will no longer flow neatly along the airfoil and will instead separate to form vortices. At this point, the lift will suddenly decrease, the drag will increase, and stall will become inevitable.
Extremely cautiously, watching the ground get closer and closer, Su Mo began to slowly shift his center of gravity, using the airflow to control his speed.
Once the descent speed had decreased to an acceptable level, the Gliding Wing suddenly pulled back on the parachute pole, aimed at a bush, and crashed into it hard.
Before the speed had completely decreased, the entire front of the delta wing was embedded directly in the bushes using this physical landing method.
Forces are reciprocal, and a tremendous impact continued backward along the nose of the aircraft.
Su Mo, who was holding onto the umbrella pole, inevitably suffered from this Giant Strength. The umbrella pole slipped from his grasp, and he ended up hanging from the crooked tree.
"Damn, that hurts! I guess you really can't just show off like that!"
The cold wind was still howling. Taking off his mask, Su Mo looked down at the ground with a look of relief and burst out laughing.
He pulled out a bottle of Psionic Water and gulped it down, and the feeling of his body falling apart from the impact immediately eased a lot.
At the same time, the Black-Clothed Woman behind him was also awakened by Su Mo's "bump".
"Ouch, it hurts so much. Am I... am I dead?"
Hearing the muffled voices behind him, and realizing they had reached a safe place, Su Mo relaxed and said nonchalantly, "Yes, ma'am, we are already dead. This is hell. Just now, the Black and White Impermanence came to ask your name, but you gave a fake name, so they don't want us anymore!"
"Ah?"
Feeling the startled "Carola" behind him, and hearing her embarrassed and annoyed voice, Su Mo burst into laughter.
"We've been through thick and thin together, aren't you going to tell me your name now?"
Hanging there on the crooked tree, Su Mo rested and adjusted himself while asking a question.
At this moment, Su Mo had a pretty good idea of the woman's identity; she was most likely the person from the Western Shelter he had never met before.
"I am Zhong Qingshu."
Bound behind Su Mo, her body still numb from the electric shock, Zhong Qingshu was hit like this again. Her voice trembled, and she no longer had the lively and cunning spirit she had before.
"You little thief, you've got some nerve, daring to sneak into the castle and steal things all by yourself. Without me, you'd be dead today, you know that?"
Thank you, thank you.
There was no danger at the moment, so Su Mo was not in a hurry to go down. The two of them chatted casually while hanging in the tree.
Having not seen a living person for a long time, and feeling the warmth emanating from the body behind him even through the armor, Su Mo felt a surge of desire.
"Are you from that refuge in the west?"
"Hmm," Zhong Qingshu stammered, her voice broken as she felt a tingling sensation from the electric shock.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mo took out a bottle of untouched Psionic Water from his spatial storage, reached out, and roughly shoved it into her mouth.
"Can you open your mouth?" Hearing Su Mo's question, Zhong Qingshu behind him finally reacted and began to sip the Psionic Water.
After drinking about 100 milliliters, Zhong Qingshu's voice stopped trembling and sounded more normal.
"Put me down, and I'll give you what you want!"
Upon finally hearing this, Su Mo's face lit up with joy. He quickly grabbed the tree trunk, snapped it down, and pressed it down, causing the two of them to fall to the ground.
He took out a long knife from his Storage Space, cut the Hemp Rope binding him, and seeing Zhong Qingshu sitting on the ground in a daze, Su Mo was not anxious. He began to examine his injuries.
Psionic Water can only heal some wounds, but it's not very effective for external injuries.
Despite the protection of his armor, the sheer force of the impact still left Su Mo with aches and pains all over his body.
But compared to all that, seeing the Laser Probe gleaming in Zhong Qingshu's hand, all the adventures of the night were instantly worth it!
After taking the probe and briefly checking the name with the system to confirm that there were no problems, Su Mo confidently placed it into the Storage Space.
Meanwhile, seeing the badly damaged Gliding Wing hanging in the tree, Su Mo carefully climbed up and took down the intact part.
"Hey, Zhong Qingshu, I'm leaving. Good luck to you!"
Upon suddenly seeing living people, Su Mo was excited, but recalling the scene of Zhong Qingshu slaughtering the dog-headed men with a wave of her hand, he still shuddered.
I will not offend others unless they offend me.
Su Mo had no desire to kill or rob the food inside Zhong Qingshu's core.
"Wait a minute. I can pay you, no, I can hire you with supplies, just to give me a ride!"
Seeing Su Mo leave so decisively, Zhong Qingshu, who was still sitting on the ground, was a little dumbfounded and quickly shouted after him.
Unfortunately, Su Mo's figure didn't pause for a moment, leaving decisively without a trace of lingering.
"Oh dear, don't leave me behind!"
Touching her slightly swollen thigh and looking at her still-painful lower back, which had stopped bleeding, Zhong Qingshu shouted loudly.
However, Su Mo moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from sight.
Under the night sky of the wasteland, a large fire still burned not far away.
These few sparks brought no warmth whatsoever; instead, thick smoke was blown by the east wind, causing people to cough repeatedly.
Sitting on the ground, after the numbness in her body subsided, Zhong Qingshu slowly got up, grabbed a piece of fabric from a fallen Gliding Wing, and sat on it.
Without torches or medical supplies, Zhong Qingshu rummaged through the food supplies one by one, only to angrily throw them aside.
"Food, food, how come we're not starving! I should have packed some medical supplies!"
Looking at the corn cobs scattered all over the ground, Zhong Qingshu pulled off her mask and gasped for breath, while reluctantly putting all the food back in.
She summoned the azure Game Panel, then closed it after a few mental actions.
Then, leaning against a tree, looking at the place where Su Mo had left in the distance, Zhong Qingshu fell into deep thought.
"Su Mo seems to be very strong, even stronger than Chen Shen said. This kind of person can only be a friend, not an enemy!"
"He has a gun and is also good at close combat. Why is it that I've never heard of this person on Earth? Could there really be such a ' Ancient Martial Arts Family '?"
Holding her head in her hands, Zhong Qingshu quietly pondered what she had just seen and heard.
Hanging on Su Mo gave her more time to observe the battle, and at the same time, she was able to discover more details.
In Chen Shen's description, that "Lu Bu" was just swinging wildly, relying on Brute Force to beat the dog-headed man until he cried for his parents.
Considering Su Mo's highly methodical actions today, it's hard to imagine that these two people are the same person.
"Could there really be another Lu Bu around here? Wow, how come there are so many powerful people!"
"Who is more powerful, Lu Bu or Su Mo?"
As she thought about it, Zhong Qingshu angrily slammed her fist on the ground, her face showing a hint of shame and anger. At the same time, the tearing of her wound made her wince in pain.
On this freezing day, having just survived a life-or-death crisis with someone, and feeling her heart still pounding, Zhong Qingshu could only close her eyes and rest, hoping to wait for rescue.
Unfortunately, before she could recover and receive help from her companions, a sudden horn blare woke her up.
In the distance, a high beam that is usually so annoying on Earth is now a pleasant surprise.
Three to five seconds later, when the car came to a complete stop, a deep voice came through the window:
"Get in the car, this is the second life you owe me!"
