Longyao City, the downtown station.
In this bustling station, there was a vast open-air flat at the very top.
It seemed to be a helipad. Several armed helicopters could vaguely be seen parked there, ready to deploy at any moment.
After leaving the Xu Family with Xu Xiayan, Su Ming had come here with her.
Su Ming looked around, then turned toward Xu Xiayan in confusion.
"Why are we here?"
Could we be preparing to leave by helicopter?

Inside a Base City, it was still fine. But in the dangerous wilderness zones, flying-type Phantoms could appear in the sky at any moment.
If they were attacked by flying-type Phantoms, Professionals in the sky would have a hard time resisting. The final result would be the destruction of the aircraft and the deaths of everyone aboard.
