Chapter 12: Military Base
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The ghost plane seemed to have discovered the danger. It began to move around in the air, changing its position in an attempt to escape the bombardment of the missiles.
However, the East F-35 was a specialized missile for ghost tracking. Even if the ghost plane made itself invisible now, it would still be pointless.
“Boom…”
Three missiles. .h.i.t the ghost plane at the same time.
After a loud explosion, the sky was filled with smoke and dust. There was no trace of the ghost plane on the supernatural sensors anymore.
!!
“Senior Colonel, we’ve successfully destroyed the target with a perfect hit.” The officer reported to Bai Bing.
“Good. Report to the squad immediately. Also, ask the pa.s.senger plane above if there’s any pilot among the living people and whether they can land somewhere near.” Bai Bing said in a serious tone as usual.
The sensors could only detect that the people above were still alive, but they could not determine their specific condition. If the five people above were in a coma or if none of the pilots survived, they would have to shoot down the pa.s.senger plane at a safe location. Otherwise, if the plane went out of control and crashed to the ground, it would cause intensive damage.
“Yes, Ma’am.” The officers accepted the order in unison and hurriedly began their work.
…
On the pa.s.senger plane…
At this moment, Zhao Hao had already changed into a new set of clothes. As for where it came from, of course, it was the extra set of clothes prepared for any male pa.s.senger in need that the stewardess had got him. Zhao Hao would not want to put on the clothes of a dead person.
A stewardess and a backup pilot were gathering around Zhao Hao. Everyone already knew what had happened on the plane. The captain was constantly trying to connect to the tower, requesting to land nearby.
Other than that, there was nothing they could do. Not to mention that a lot of people had died on the plane, what they had seen and heard earlier was enough reason for the three captains not to fly any plane again in the future.
Fortunately, Bai Bing and the officers working under her were extremely efficient. Soon, they received the order for them to land at a civilian airport nearby.
Zhao Hao thought he was in trouble. The incident must have alerted the government. So many people had died, after all. Plus, there were cameras on the plane. What he had done just now would definitely be investigated.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao remained calm. Since he had already encountered ghosts twice, it proved that there were still many ghosts in this world. Moreover, he had been staring at the ghost plane and he had also seen the scene of the missiles destroying the ghost plane.
Judging from this, he concluded that the authorities knew about the existence of ghosts and had even developed a method to deal with them.
Then, it would be easy for him to explain his abilities. Zhao Hao had already come up with all kinds of explanations, such as what type of cultivation methods he had practiced or what type of special fruit he had eaten. Now the only thing he had to do was to wait for the plane to land.
Soon, the plane began to land slowly. The stewardess kept on talking to Zhao Hao all the way, but Zhao Hao did not pay any attention to her. Although he would rate the beauty of this stewardess as 85%, Zhao Hao thought he should not lower his taste since he was destined to become the Celestial Emperor of this generation.
The cabin door opened.
Sure enough, there were already over ten military vehicles on the ground. Not only did Zhao Hao see many military vehicles and tanks there, but he also saw the missiles.
Bai Bing, who appeared smart in military uniform, looked at Zhao Hao curiously.
Through the captain’s report and the surveillance records on the pa.s.senger plane, Bai Bing already knew the reason why the ghost plane retreated.
“You guys take care of it. You, follow me.” Bai Bing instructed her subordinates before pointing at Zhao Hao. Then, she turned around and walked toward a military vehicle.
Zhao Hao shrugged helplessly, but he still followed this beautiful woman who was obviously the leader.
As for the remaining air stewardess and the three captains, a professional staff walked to them with a device. First, he conducted body checks on them. Then, he tased them, and they pa.s.sed out. Such a strange memory had to be erased. It could not cause panic in this world.
…
“Zhao Hao, you graduated from the Department of Chinese Language at Qingbei University. Your parents died when you were young, and you’ve lived on a subsidy. Although you hold a good degree, you don’t want to work. So, you just stay home and enjoy being a geek. You like reading novels and playing games. It’s really hard to believe that someone like you would be a superpowered person.” Bai Bing said to Zhao Hao while driving.
“…” Zhao Hao was puzzled. However, when he heard the term “superpowered person”, he immediately understood that there were people with special abilities in this world.
“When were your abilities awakened?” Bai Bing was not surprised by Zhao Hao. There were many members of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad who were just ordinary people but suddenly had their special abilities awakened.
The reason why Bai Bing dared to escort Zhao Hao by herself was that she was very confident in her own strength.
“Um… About three days ago…” Zhao Hao could only regard the day he obtained the Cultivation Simulator as the day his special ability was awakened.
“Three days ago? Did you know that most of the evil ghosts you killed were level-two supernatural beings, and one of them was a level-three long-necked ghost? You already have this kind of strength when your abilities have only been awakened for three days?” Bai Bing instantly failed to maintain her calm expression. It took at least a level-five superpowered person to effortlessly kill a large number of evil ghosts, including a level-three long-necked ghost.
Although Bai Bing was a level-six superpowered person herself, she was a small captain of the Supernatural Special Forces Squad, and she would probably become a big captain in the future. Even then, it took Bai Bing three years to become a level-six superpowered person.
“…”
Zhao Hao realized that he was in big trouble.
Judging from Bai Bing’s reaction, apparently, a person whose abilities have just been awakened for three days would not have such strength.
So, Zhao Hao hurriedly said, “My body has been special since I was young. I was born with divine powers, and it has been growing ever since. It wasn’t until three days ago that my body was able to emit a golden light.”
Bai Bing only realized that she had lost her composure upon hearing what Zhao Hao said. Indeed, she could think of cases like his. For example, extraordinary physical abilities required a long time to be fully awakened, and once they were awakened, the superpowered person’s strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, Bai Bing did not say anything again. Two hours later, Bai Bing brought Zhao Hao to a secret military base.
She brought Zhao Hao to an office.
“Stay here for a while. I need to report this to the higher-ups.” After saying that, Bai Bing walked out of the office. She was not worried about Zhao Hao wandering around or running away at all.
Zhao Hao did not have any other options. However, he was sure that he would be safe. Moreover, Zhao Hao guessed that there was a high chance that he would be recruited and get a steady job without paying any cost.
[Ding! The Cultivation Talent Pane has reset.]
After receiving this system notification, Zhao Hao looked at the countdown on the light screen. Another 24 hours had pa.s.sed.
He could now extract another Cultivation Talent. Since there was nothing else to do, Zhao Hao activated the Cultivation Simulator right away.
“System, activate the Cultivation Simulator.”
[To enable the simulation, you may select only three of the following Cultivation Talents.]
