Chapter 651: Chapter 612: Mistakes Lead to Landing in the Arctic
At that moment, the pilot of the lead fighter jet was mocking Zhao Rong’s group as he flew. "You guys, in that piece of junk flying car, think you can catch up to my fighter jet? You must be daydreaming..." As he spoke, the pilot burst into laughter.
However, before he could finish laughing, he suddenly saw a flying car materialize right next to his jet. The pilot froze, staring at the vehicle. Did another flying car just show up? This can’t be that kid’s... its speed could never match my fighter jet...
Before the pilot could finish his thought, Zhao Rong’s voice boomed from the flying car’s external speaker, "Young man, your time is up! Surrender now!"
Hearing the warning, the pilot turned pale with shock and sputtered in disbelief, "How did you guys, in that piece of junk, manage to catch up to my fighter jet?"
From the back seat, Xuelian immediately took out an air-to-air missile launcher, aimed it at the adjacent jet, and said, "Die, you scoundrel!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
With a pull of the trigger, she launched a missile.
The once-arrogant fighter jet was struck instantly, erupting in a ball of fire. When the lead pilot realized his aircraft had been hit and was now engulfed in flames, he wailed in despair, "No way! My jet is so fast! How could these guys possibly catch me and hit me with a missile?"
With that, the pilot and his aircraft plummeted from the sky, perishing in the fiery blaze below.
Watching the jet they had just shot down crash to the ground, Zhao Rong, Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, and the assistant erupted in joyous cheers.
Lili turned to Zhao Rong excitedly. "Brother Zhao Rong, you’re amazing! We never thought those one hundred turbo boosters you bought would actually come in handy! They increased the car’s speed enough to catch that fighter jet!"
Yu Lan also praised the weapon he had purchased. "Brother Zhao Rong, that air-to-air missile launcher you bought—the one that looks like a pipe—was unbelievably powerful! I can’t believe it’s strong enough to take down a fifth-generation fighter. It’s so high-tech, so incredible!"
Xuelian, admiring the view outside the window, added, "We bought two advanced tech gadgets from the Paradise Shopping Cart today: the turbo boosters and the air-to-air missile launcher."
The assistant gave Zhao Rong a thumbs-up, praising his knack for shopping. "Brother Zhao Rong, you always have the perfect trick up your sleeve! Your shopping ability and imagination are on another level. You’ve truly impressed me!"
As they chatted, Zhao Rong suddenly noticed they had flown into an unfamiliar area. At that moment, he also saw that their fuel was nearly gone, so he immediately began to descend.
While initiating the landing sequence, he announced to the three women and the assistant, "I’m about to land the flying car. Everyone, buckle up and hold on tight. It might be a bit bumpy when we touch down."
The three women and the assistant gripped the handles, nodded, and replied, "Go ahead and land, Brother Zhao Rong. We’re ready!" ƒrēewebnovel.com
Zhao Rong skillfully brought the flying car down from the sky, landing it smoothly on the ground. However, when they stepped out of the vehicle, they were hit by an instantaneous blast of frigid air.
All around them was a vast expanse of white. There was nothing but ice and snow, without a single plant or animal in sight.
Lili looked at the surrounding scenery in shock. "Brother Zhao Rong," she asked, "don’t tell me you flew the car all the way to the Antarctic?"
Yu Lan scanned the area. Not finding a single penguin, she dismissed Lili’s idea. "This can’t be the Antarctic," she said. "There aren’t any penguins. Look around."
Suddenly, Xuelian spotted a polar bear in the distance, charging right for them. Watching the enormous beast approach, she said in utter amazement, "This must be the Arctic! Why else would there be a polar bear here?"
When the assistant heard this, he shivered intensely. "You’ve got to be kidding me! Brother Zhao Rong, you flew us to the Arctic?"
With that, he dove back into the car, cranked up the heater, and called out, "Brother Zhao Rong, we’re just wearing regular down jackets! We’ll freeze to death out here! Quick, open the Paradise Shopping Cart and buy us some heavy winter clothes so we can stay warm!"
Just then, an idea struck Zhao Rong as he watched the distant polar bear. "Instead of buying down jackets from the Paradise Shopping Cart," he suggested, "why don’t we use the local resources to make some bearskin clothes for everyone? What do you think?"
Hearing this, Lili’s interest was piqued. "Brother Zhao Rong, are you saying you’re going to kill that approaching polar bear, skin it, and make clothes from its hide?"
"I remember seeing on TV once that the Inuit people can survive in the Arctic because they wear clothes made of polar bear fur, which offers incredible protection from the cold," Zhao Rong explained. "So, to keep everyone warm, I’ve decided to use what’s available and make us some polar bear fur clothes."
Yu Lan stepped forward, fully agreeing with Zhao Rong. "It’s true," she said. "Clothes made from polar bear fur can withstand temperatures as low as negative eighty degrees Celsius. Brother Zhao Rong’s choice is the right one. To survive in the Arctic, we have to use its fur. Regular down jackets won’t be enough to protect us."
Xuelian was very curious. "Brother Zhao Rong," she asked, "how are you going to make clothes from polar bear fur in a place as freezing as this?"
Zhao Rong simply pulled a portable hide-clothing maker from his pocket. He smiled at Xuelian and said, "Xuelian, take a look. What do you think this thing is?"
