There was not much time left until 3 PM.

After Zhang Che and Sun Lan alighted the car, they directly entered the departure hall. After verifying their tickets, they were brought to the boarding gate under the guidance of the staffers and boarded the plane.

It was the first time Sun Lan had taken the sky shuttle. Some anxiety was visible on her face.

Zhang Che smiled faintly and assured her, “Don’t worry, mom. The sky shuttle is much faster than ordinary airplanes. We’ll arrive at Tian Xing City in two hours or so, and we’ll see great-aunt and the others then.”

Sun Lan’s complexion turned a little better after hearing what Zhang Che said. At the same time, her eyes shone with anticipation.

Other than her son, they were her only kin in the world. In the past, she even thought that there was no way she would see her aunt in this life again. She didn’t expect there would be such an opportunity again.

———-

At 3 PM sharp…

The sky shuttle’s jet engine were fired up. The thick and strongly built aircraft entered the runway, its speed increasing swiftly. In the end, the nose of the plane tipped up slightly, officially soaring into the sky.

After rising ten thousand meters into the air, the sky shuttle’s rocket accelerator began to take over the jet engine’s job, instantly driving the aircraft ahead even more strongly. Its speed continued climbing from Mach 1, gradually rising to Mach 2, Mach 3…

Sun Lan, who was taking the sky shuttle for the first time, looked out of the window. When she saw the clouds below passing by so quickly, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “The sky shuttle is really fast!”

Zhang Che smiled and said, “Mom, we’re only flying within the atmosphere. If it was a longer distance flight, the feeling is even greater when flying in outer space!”

The distance between Bei Du to Tian Xing City was only ten thousand-plus kilometers. The sky shuttle only needed two hours or so to reach the destination, even though it was only flying in the atmosphere. Therefore, in order to save fuel, the sky shuttle wouldn’t actually enter outer space.

“Dididi, danger spotted ahead. Please exit the atmosphere to evade!”

“Dididi, danger spotted ahead. Please exit the atmosphere to evade!”

“Dididi, danger spotted ahead….”

At this moment, the smart radar in the sky shuttle’s pilot cabin started flashing madly, and an electronic voice warned out three times in a row!

The crew quickly reacted to this. While preheating the remaining accelerator, they broadcast to the passengers, “Dear passengers, please put on your seat belts immediately. The aircraft will be entering outer space promptly!

“Dear passengers, please put on your seat belts immediately. The aircraft will be entering outer space promptly!

“Dear passengers, please put on your seat belts immediately. The aircraft will be entering outer space promptly!”

The passengers revealed frightened looks one after another, and quickly put on their seat belts.

“Mom, quickly fasten your seat belt. There might be some unexpected situation ahead,” Zhang Che said to Sun Lan as he put on his seat belt.

Sun Lan’s expression darkened slightly. She asked Zhang Che, “Xiaoche, will we be in danger?”

At this moment, the passengers felt the aircraft suddenly accelerating again. The nose of the plane tilted up, directly heading towards outer space.

Zhang Che smiled and consoled Sun Lan, saying, “There won’t be any danger, mom. There aren’t many exotic beasts that can catch up to the sky shuttle. Also, once the sky shuttle enters outer space, not even the strongest exotic beasts dare to give chase.”

Just as he finished talking, Zhang Che’s face sank.

Through the windows, at the skies ahead, but several thousand meters lower, Zhang Che clearly saw a few huge fireballs suddenly explode.

“My god, what is that!?”

“Some ordinary flights exploded from attacks from exotic beasts! From the looks of it, even the escort fighter jets were destroyed at the same time!”

“How powerful must that exotic beast be, to destroy several fighter jets at the same time!?”

The masses of fireballs exploded one after another. They were especially eye-catching from the sky. At least half of the passengers in the sky shuttle witnessed the unforgettable scene.

Almost everyone revealed looks of horror, and started getting into discussions, guessing if the sky shuttle they were in would be able to avoid the terrifying exotic beast ahead.

Sun Lan witnessed the disaster, and overhearing the nearby passengers guessing uneasily, her complexion turned ugly once more. “Xiaoche, will we be alright?”

“No need to worry, mom. We’re taking the sky shuttle. It will be fine!” Zhang Che patted the back of his mother’s hand, consoling her. However, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Having his eyesight improved by the golden vortex in his spiritual sea, it allowed Zhang Che to faintly see that a few ghostly silhouettes seemed to have flashed past the area ahead where the disaster had happened, and were chasing in their direction.

Gods knew what exotic beast that was; its strength had reached such a terrifying level!

Truthfully speaking, this time Zhang Che didn’t dare guarantee if the sky shuttle could successfully shake those ghostly silhouettes off.

However, right now they were over ten thousand meters in the air. Other than praying for the sky shuttle to quickly reach outer space, there was nothing Zhang Che could do.

The flight crew seemed to have noticed the great danger ahead. The sky shuttle ran at its maximum thrust, flying nearly straight up towards outer space.

Everyone felt their hearts tightening, as if a huge rock was pressing on their chests. It was hard to breathe.

While the flight crew piloted the aircraft to fly towards outer space, they watched the situation outside anxiously through the screen. The few ghostly silhouettes were chasing relentlessly behind the sky shuttle like black bolts of lightning.

“Hurry, speed up! Operate all the rocket accelerators at overload!” the captain of the sky shuttle, a middle-aged man, shouted with a dark expression.

“But Captain, there’s a high chance the rocket accelerators will be irreversibly damaged, or even have to be directly written off!” The crew in charge of operating the engines was a little hesitant.

“Then do you want to go with maybe dying, or dying right now?! Fucking accelerate, NOW!” the captain roared, glaring at that crew member.

On the surveillance monitor, the black silhouettes were slowing closing in on the sky shuttle!

“Yes, captain!” that crew member answered with his eyes red, his hands flying into motion.

In the next moment, the few massive rocket accelerators at the tail end of the sky shuttle suddenly shot out deep blue tails of flames. The aircraft suddenly accelerated again, and finally broke through the atmosphere just as the few black silhouettes were about to catch up, entering outer space.

Seeing the sky shuttle enter outer space, the few ghostly black silhouettes let out unwilling roars and finally gave up on the chase.

“They stopped chasing!”

“We’re safe!”

The entire crew cheered out loud.

At the same time, the speakers in the passenger cabin rang out.

“Dear esteemed passengers, the aircraft has officially entered outer space. The situation is resolved. We wish everyone a happy journey for the remainder of the flight.”

The passenger cabin went silent for two seconds, followed by an eruption of excited cheers.

Sun Lan showed a smile of rejoice. She turned to Zhang Che and said, “Xiaoche, we’re finally safe!”

Zhang Che nodded heavily, “Yes, we’re safe now, mom. I told you, you don’t have to worry. It’s almost impossible to find exotic beasts capable of catching up to the sky shuttle.”
