Free Web NovelChapter 69: Chapter 69: Starting Off on a Death Flight
"""
This is a large passenger aircraft.
The seating capacity is around three hundred and fifty.
The layout for first-class, business class, and economy class accommodates thirty, fifty, and two hundred seventy people, respectively.
Bai Wu was seated in the economy class, which was divided into three cabins, each with ninety people, six to a row, for a total of fifteen rows.
And in these fifteen rows, were filled with Evil Fallen.
At first glance, his comment hadn’t even had time to pop up.
But what else could these creatures be, apart from the Evil Fallen, with their partially human-like silhouettes and various grotesque mutations?
Right next to Bai Wu was an Evil Fallen reading a car magazine, confusion apparent in its eyes.
It seemed to sense an unusual presence and was about to turn its head toward the person next to it.
All these observations took place in an instant, so much so that Bai Wu hadn’t seen the information from Prayle’s Eye pop up yet.
In such a pressing moment, Bai Wu immediately stood up and looked around—
All he saw were Evil Fallen, no humans.
He didn’t even spot Dwarf, the lifesaver, let alone Yan Jiu. Were they in the other two cabins? Or perhaps in business class and first class?
Bai Wu looked toward the entrance of the airplane’s cabin area.
With so many Evil Fallen, he couldn’t keep track of them all. Right now, he needed to grasp some macro information as soon as possible.
["Eh... um... oh, my old buddy, how do I describe this extraordinary day of yours? I suggest you write a book, maybe call it ’Boarding the Death Flight at the Start’? If you still have a chance to survive, this book will definitely be a bestseller. This is a flight that will never fall, and there are three minutes left before the plane explodes. You’re currently 30,000 feet in the air, and if you fall, you’ll drop from a purple area into a red area."]
Ah, this...
I can bear with the plane full of Evil Fallen, but it’s going to explode in three minutes?
Not to mention whether I can escape from the plane, even if I do, the land below is a red zone...
This is indeed like "Boarding the Death Flight at the Start".
Meanwhile, he quietly watched the Evil Fallen next to him.
[As an economy class Evil Fallen, it’s destined not to be too wealthy, just like it’s only a level three mutant within the purple area. Its favorite pastime before death was reading car magazines, and now it has been relying on these magazines for seven hundred years. During this time, a total of one thousand and forty-five different outcomes have occurred.]
Bai Wu immediately noticed the key piece of information...
What does it mean that a total of one thousand and forty-five outcomes have happened?
His brain started calculating at a moment’s expense, and as the Evil Fallen was about to attack, he came up with several possibilities.
"Unless there is some kind of understanding between Evil Fallen, such as serving a stronger Evil Fallen together, their most likely behavior in close proximity would be to fight each other."
"Just like in the Ninth Hospital, where Elijah devours the Evil Fallen from the second building, while the seven Evil Fallen from the first building serve Hong Yin."
"If they don’t fight each other and can’t leave a fixed area, could it be all these Evil Fallen have been peacefully coexisting on the plane for seven hundred years?"
"It seems unlikely there have been any fights... and seriously, the plane is about to explode just when I arrive? What can I find out in three minutes?"
"Something’s not right... There must be some significant clue I haven’t found yet."
The Evil Fallen lunged at Bai Wu, the level three mutant Evil Fallen and Bai Wu, at the second rank and ninth stage, were evenly matched.
Normally, the Evil Fallen would have frantically pounced on Bai Wu. Their sense of emotions is greater than their sensory organs’, mainly relying on emotions to determine the location of their target.
Although Bai Wu harbored no negative emotions, the cabin of the plane was just too small.
In such a cramped space, there was bound to be an Evil Fallen that could perceive Bai Wu.
But these Evil Fallen didn’t lunge at Bai Wu; their attention was on another cabin!
Bai Wu quickly guessed the situation—it was Dwarf!
There were no fluctuations of negative emotions from him, but Dwarf was bound to have some, especially when faced with a cabin full of Evil Fallen, even Dwarf couldn’t help but feel a slight trace of fear.
So apart from the Evil Fallen closest to him, the rest got up and ran toward the cabin entrance.
Bai Wu didn’t think much and immediately activated Return Roulette.
This area was too dangerous.

Even as he prepared to leave, Bai Wu didn’t stop observing his surroundings; the plane revealed a lot of information, but the cabin door had only shown part of it.
Bai Wu stared out the window, seeing the sky outside through it.
He had been ready to shout loudly, to signal Wu Jiu to activate the Return Roulette as well.
But the remark interrupted Bai Wu’s actions:
"With your strength, you might be able to break the window and escape, after all, that is the only way to escape. The Evil Fallen would be envious of you because they can’t leave this area. The Return Roulette? Normally you would be able to return to the city... but who told you that physical laws are limited to basic levels like weather temperature? I’ve said it, jumping out through the broken window is the only way out. Of course, even if you land, based on my knowledge of the red zone, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to use the Return Roulette."
The muscular man was silent.
Bai Wu quickly understood the meaning of the remark.
He now personally experienced what it meant for physical rules to be distorted.
Abnormal temperatures, extreme heat, and extreme cold were just the most common states.
If it were a highly distorted area... even space-time anomalies might occur.
"So that’s why... therefore the bizarre incident of the plane drifting in the air for seven hundred years happened, because the spatial rules had changed."
And these changes, too, disrupted the spatial connection between the Return Roulette and the High Tower.
What to do?
The more critical the situation became, the faster he reacted, which was Bai Wu’s key to turning the tables.
But even he, held back by an Evil Fallen, definitely wouldn’t be able to come up with the clues to pass in three minutes.
"Seems like... I’m done for."
An unprecedented strange feeling welled up inside Bai Wu.
"Am I afraid of dying? Doesn’t seem like it. My watch reads zero, and I don’t react as one would when they’re scared."
"Or is it a feeling of defeat?"
A minute passed, a hundred seconds remained on the explosion countdown, and there was nothing Bai Wu could do in that time.
He could only confirm one thing—
The Return Roulette was indeed disrupted, and he couldn’t return. Unless he found the Doomsday Puzzle fragment of the area, and he also had to pray that the fragment would normalize the physical laws.
But... he didn’t have the time.
"Dwarf is a hero. I shouldn’t drag him down with me."
Bai Wu furrowed his brows, even giving up resistance, preparing to let the Evil Fallen tear at him. It wasn’t out of despair, but an attempt to put himself into a more excited state. Still, he felt somewhat defeated.
But at that moment, a blade of light, like a thunderbolt, streaked from the other end of the cabin!
In the economy class, of the ninety or so Evil Fallen, half were decapitated under this terrifying slash.
Through the cold flash, blood of various strange colors from the Evil Fallen sprayed out.
Wu Jiu hoisted up the Evil Fallen that was entangled with Bai Wu and said to him coldly:
"You all right?" frёewebnoѵēl.com
Bai Wu nodded somewhat dazedly.
The slash Dwarf had made astounded him; he had thought that sword techniques that left visible trails could only be found in comics.
He had fought his way here from the first-class cabin filled with advanced Evil Fallen, then suddenly breached through the ninety or so Evil Fallen with a slash, arriving in front of him.
This absolute strength even diminished Bai Wu’s sense of defeat somewhat.
Wu Jiu said:
"Activate the Return Roulette. There are a few tough monsters in that cabin over there."
As he spoke, Wu Jiu positioned his blade in front of Bai Wu.
Bai Wu opened his mouth and, with some difficulty, voiced the words:
"Captain... the Return Roulette isn’t working. We might die here."
(I need to take a short break to deal with some matters this afternoon. I’ll probably get back at night. I’ll update as soon as I get home.)
