The old man had actually already braced himself to be slammed hard onto the ground, but all of a sudden his whole body shot sideways and lifted off, that feeling of being flung into the air instantly stunned him.
He’d been ready to take a heavy fall, and never in a million years imagined that not only did he not hit the ground, he actually started floating up. The speed was so fast it was like his whole consciousness just blanked out.
That’s right, Lin Yi’s speed was just too fast. In the blink of an eye he had carried the old man from the ground up to an altitude of a hundred meters.
This kind of speed was way faster than a car.
The sudden burst of speed made the old man’s vision go completely blurry. Luckily he was wearing a motorcycle helmet, otherwise the wind would’ve made it impossible for him to open his eyes.
At this point, the old man finally figured out what the helmet on his head was for. Without it, at this speed he’d probably have trouble even breathing.
The old man’s reaction was like this, but the reaction of the soldiers down below was even more intense.
Every one of them stared up at the tiny dot floating in the sky like they’d just seen a ghost.
They simply couldn’t believe their eyes.
What the hell just happened? That guy actually took the General and flew straight up. Is that something a human being can even do?
Obviously that’s impossible. How could a person possibly fly?
So who exactly was that guy? Could it be he wasn’t human?
Was he an Immortal?
For a moment there, the saying "he’s an Immortal" started circulating here for the first time.
Word spread fast, ten to a hundred, and soon the whole camp knew about it. When the other Generals heard, they all exchanged looks, as if they’d already guessed what everyone was thinking.
Exactly, this guy had to be an Immortal. If he wasn’t, how could he have done all that just now?
And now that they’d "confirmed" his identity, that he was an Immortal, their hearts actually calmed down a bit.
All that indignation and resentment they’d felt before vanished. After all, losing to an Immortal was absolutely not a disgrace to them; on the contrary, it was something to be proud of.
Come on, how could humans possibly compare themselves to an Immortal?
Of course, if anyone dared say he wasn’t an Immortal, these guys would definitely slap you silly: "Not an Immortal? If he’s not an Immortal, how can he fly?"
If you’re not an Immortal, then you fly one for me to see.
That’s all stuff happening down below; for now, let’s just talk about Lin Yi up in the sky, and that old man.
Yes, the safety rope Lin Yi took out earlier was specifically to secure the old man. He had no intention of taking a helicopter over, because that thing wasn’t as fast as the Iron Man Armor.
Secondly, the thing was huge and needed a pilot to operate, and it was nowhere near as comfortable to fly as Iron Man.
Compared to a helicopter, Lin Yi’s set of steel Armor was a lot more comfortable for him.
The Iron Man Armor’s built‑in thermostatic system kept the temperature exactly where he wanted it at all times, and he didn’t have to worry about anything else. He just needed to feed the target into the Iron Man Armor’s system, or say adjust the target, and it could fly freely. Whether it was altitude or speed or whatever, Lin Yi didn’t have to deliberately control it.
Compared to a helicopter, this was on a totally different level.
Of course, as for the old man’s experience right now, naturally it was anything but pleasant.
The feeling of suddenly being hurled into the air completely fried his brain; for a moment his heart was filled with sheer terror, beating wildly in his chest.
If his mental fortitude weren’t strong enough, he’d probably have passed out already.
Sure, he didn’t black out, but it still made him lose the ability to think for a short while.
Fortunately, Lin Yi wasn’t flying at full power. He’d taken the old man’s state into account and stopped climbing once they reached two to three hundred meters up.
Strictly speaking, Iron Man’s Armor could break through the atmosphere, and precisely because of that, once it got above the atmosphere the flight speed would increase even more.
In other words, as long as it broke through the atmosphere, its flight speed would become several times faster than within the atmosphere.
But obviously, if he flew too high, the old man definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.
The old man wasn’t wearing an Iron Man Armor like Lin Yi, nor was he in a spacesuit. Expecting him to withstand that kind of air pressure was completely unrealistic. Not only that, the higher you go, the less oxygen there is. Once the oxygen concentration thinned out, the old man simply wouldn’t be able to survive up there.
Precisely because he’d thought of all this, Lin Yi held the altitude at around two to three hundred meters and started accelerating.
Of course, the speed at first wasn’t that fast; he was cruising at around 100 miles per hour.
If you put this in later times, a lot of people wouldn’t even think it was a big deal. After all, a car doing 100 kilometers per hour is totally normal, and on the highway it’s even regulated at 120.
So for Lin Yi inside the Iron Man Armor right now, this speed was basically no different from walking.
