Cloud Shadows in the Sky

Falcon Base.

Due to the injunction issued by ' Black Eagle Company Down'.

Exploration of the Forbidden Land will be closed for one week.

This has resulted in a large number of people being stranded at the base over the past two days.

To prevent base residents from engaging in numerous conflicts due to their inability to explore Forbidden Land.

Black Eagle Company set up a makeshift arena in the center of the base.

Every day, fearless individuals enter the arena to fight against various mutated beasts in order to win huge rewards.

In addition, there are the young women in the base.

Business has been booming these past two days.

The most popular one barely got out of bed yesterday.

I heard they took him to the emergency room in the middle of the night.

Black Eagle Company has done its best to stabilize morale.

Yet, the entire base was still filled with a sense of oppression, as if it could explode at any moment.

And this was only the second day.

That noon.

An outsider has arrived at the base.

He wore a dark red trench coat with the collar turned up, underneath which he wore a black leather jacket and trousers.

Seventeen Flying Dagger were clipped to his belt; the blades of those Flying Dagger were indigo blue, clearly coated with poison.

On the other side hangs a pistol with an astonishing caliber, its grip adorned with a pattern of a red dove.

The man wore a white mask on his face, without any patterns or sculpted facial features.

The openings are only made in the nose and eyes.

So that one can breathe and see.

He walked toward a row of houses made of wooden sheds.

Two vicious dogs with slicked-back fur were lying in front of the house.

The two large dogs barked when they saw the stranger and smelled the unfamiliar scent.

The man stopped.

He reached down and touched his waist.

Two beams of blue light then flashed.

They were driven into the eyes of a large dog.

Within three seconds, the two vicious dogs were foaming at the mouth and dead.

Suddenly, someone roared from inside the row of houses, "You fucking killed my guard dog, are you planning to keep it as my dog?"

His answer was another Flying Dagger.

It pierces straight to the center of the forehead.

The person who spoke widened their eyes.

They seemed unable to believe it.

The masked man killed himself.

Tables were placed in rows of rooms.

It turned out to be the canteen inside the base.

I saw my boss die suddenly.

The diners scattered like birds and beasts.

Even the shop assistant forgot to ask them to pay back the money.

The man in the dark red trench coat walked to a clean table and sat down.

"A lunch."

A bottle of clean water.

Then he took out a box and placed it on the table.

He then waved to the man.

The man walked over with trembling teeth, not daring to take the 'meal payment'.

But then the man pushed it forward, saying, "Hurry up, I'm hungry."

The man then took the box, opened it, and found it contained some anti-inflammatory medicine.

Now.

The currency that was once in circulation has long since become worthless.

There are many hard currencies available today.

Medicine is one of them.

Especially anti-inflammatory drugs.

There are only three here, but that's enough to cover the cost of the meal.

The waiter put away the anti-inflammatory medicine and glanced at his boss, who was lying dead on the ground.

The surprise on his face gradually faded.

Instead, a strange, overwhelming joy filled me.

He immediately called over two homeless men, gave them a steamed bun, and asked them to clean up the bodies of the boss and the two dogs.

The two homeless men were quick and agile.

In no time at all.

The body was never found.

The entire process.

Nobody came to ask about it.

Even Black Eagle Company, which ostensibly maintained order at the base, ignored it.

This is the Earth's surface.

Order resides in the fist, truth lies within range.

After the food was served.

The man in the long trench coat grabbed the waiter's hand.

Have any outsiders come here recently?

The waiter immediately nodded. "Yes."

Two days ago, some people who were supposedly from the Undercity arrived.

"They also killed people inside the base."

"Black Eagle Company Down didn't dare utter a single word."

"They're quite arrogant."

The man in the long trench coat asked again, "Are those people in the base now?"

The man shook his head. "Only some older people are still at the base; the younger ones have all left for the Forbidden Land."

"For this reason, Black Eagle Company has issued a ban, prohibiting exploration this week."

"A whole week! That's leaving everyone starving!"

The man in the long coat finally let go, tossing him an anti-inflammatory pill. "Watch your mouth."

The waiter, remembering his boss's corpse, immediately said, "What did you say, sir? I don't understand."

The man in the long trench coat nodded in satisfaction and began to eat.

We've had lunch.

He then left the base.

Nobody knows where he went.

The Guifa City.

Year Two B Group

In the Command Center,

The student playing the role of a staff officer shouted excitedly.

"Quickly, Zhou Feng, attack from the middle and try to keep the ' Gu Diao ' at bay, don't let it have a chance to escape."

"Wang Lei, don't move. Stay in that position, just in case."

"Xia Yun, don't just watch, you need to help Zhou Feng cripple that thing's wings."

One boy shook his head and said, "The giant beasts in this Forbidden Land are mostly 'feathered insects,' they're so annoying."

"Without careful planning, the cooked duck flew away."

"Everyone, we need to step up our game!"

"Out of four teams, we're the last in line."

"Not to mention Rank A, even those two first-year teams are ranked ahead of us."

"Yes, Zhou Feng, you guys need to keep it up."

"We're in second grade now."

"If those little brats ride roughshod over us, where will we put our old faces?"

In the ruins of a residential area, the buildings are entwined with countless vines, and large clumps of seaweed-like black hair are intertwined with the buildings, streetlights, and vehicles.

Large amounts of skeletons were entangled in the long, black hair. When the hair was blown by the wind, the skeletons inside made all sorts of movements, like puppets performing a puppet show.

Bang!

With a tremendous crash, a dark shadow slammed into the tall building, crushing Bone Shatter.

Amidst the flying rocks, a Giant Bird resembling an eagle struggled to its feet.

This bird has reddish-brown feathers, exaggeratedly large wings, and most peculiarly, a long horn on its head.

Now.

This Giant Bird, known as the ' Gu Diao ', has one wing withered and tattered, seemingly no longer able to perform its original function.

A piece of its horn had broken off, and crimson blood was flowing from it.

It stood up unsteadily and made a sound like a baby.

At this moment, fireballs continuously erupted from its body, and it was hit by missiles one after another. In the explosions, the Gu Diao's feathers flew up and fell on fire.

It let out a pained scream, and with only one wing left, it fled in a sorry state.

"Now."

"Wang Lei, take it down!"

In the Command Center, several staff officers shouted excitedly.

Wang Lei, a second-year student who had been lying in ambush nearby, immediately piloted his mecha out, intending to deliver a fatal blow to the Gu Diao.

But at this time...

A deep rumble echoed from high above, as if fighter jets were flying overhead.

Inside the Command Center, the staff officers all exclaimed in surprise.

On the big screen.

They saw it above the city.

A dark shadow, hidden behind the clouds, rolled past.

The clouds churned.

Something was hanging down from the clouds.

They were actually black lines.

At the ends of those Black Threads, figures were hanging!
