The aircraft dove and landed in the ruined city.
As the hatch doors slid open to either side, Cheng Luoyi and the others jumped out.
As far as the eye could see, Coastal City was a complete mess. The streets were riddled with potholes, some areas were flooded, and numerous dried-up dead fish lay scattered around. The air was thick with the rotten stench of decay.
