Chapter 269: Reality

Mu Sicheng and the parrot left on the ground stared blankly at each other for a long time before turning to the other three and spreading their hands: "...... So we've been left here by Bai Liu?"

"It's not just as simple as leaving it here, it's throwing us a big problem." Liu Jiayi's ears twitched and she looked towards the door, "The head of the sanatorium is here."

Muke stares: "It seems we need to find a good reason to explain to the man in charge why his patient has disappeared."

"Or Bai Liu will have another lawsuit on his hands for abducting a mental patient." Tang Erda rubbed her brow in pain, "He's a bit too impulsive this time."

"He's already under the watch of the Heretic's Authority, and if you add in the police station's watch ...... Bai Liu the more ordinary people around him watching him, the harder it will be for him to get into the game."

Liu Jiayi sighed: "Yes, so this guy left us to take care of the aftermath."

Mainly because it was useless for them to go to the Antarctic, where the Du Sanying's destructive power was visible to the naked eye and only Bai Liu was spared.

Might as well leave them where they are.

The man in charge pushed open the door and stared in disbelief at the collapsed bed, the mess of duvets and duvets on the floor, and the bouncing parrot standing on the floor.

The parrot jumped and bounced, screaming: "Bai Liu, bad, bad...! It makes the owner cry cry cry!"

It brushes its wings wide open and hovers around the roof, flicking its thin tongue, its voice sharp and penetrating.

"They're hugging and going to heaven! Together they go up to the sky and jerk off!"

Pupils in charge quake: "...... hit something?!"

The parrot raised its wings back and stretched its neck to repeat, "- jerk off!"

Liu Jiayi, Mu Sicheng, Muke, Tang Erda: "......"

[Shoot the plane down for a safe landing] Don't abbreviate it to [Shoot the plane] ah!!!

Do you speak human language or not, you parrot!

Tang Erda jumps up, pinches the parrot's wings and pointed beak and, at its violent struggle, turns, back stiff, and carries it out onto the balcony, tucking it into its cage to feed it water: "...... The parrot hasn't had any water for too long and is squawking nonsense, so I'll take it out on the water to drink some aeroplane ......"

Liu Jiayi snapped her eyes shut in despair.

Tang Erda is so weak that she can't even speak clearly.

The hand of the man in charge holding the door handle trembled slightly as he looked at the group in utter horror, "...... What have you done to the patients of 906?!"

Mu Sicheng closed and unlocked the ward door as quickly as possible, blocking the escape route of the person in charge.

Muke took a deep breath and stepped in front of the man in charge, holding his hands calmly, "We can explain."

The man in charge, who had been attacked back and forth, was scared to tears: "Me me me, you guys, leave me alone! I haven't jerked off with a guy in a long time since I graduated from college!"

Miles away, over the Antarctic, in the Ross Sea.

On the deck of the shaking plane, Du Sanying and Bai Liu, who had just landed, were rolling around in the cabin, unable to stand up, when Bai Liu grabbed a metal pole and pulled Du Sanying to keep them steady.

Bai Liu kicked the back of the seat and instructed Du Sanying to pull the seat rail down and rummage under the seat to see if the oxygen mask and parachute were still in place.

Du Sanying was so dizzy that he pulled a seat and pressed it, and a parachute and oxygen mask popped out, even with two thick winter suits.

Bai Liu's eyes droop - full marks for luck, no less.

The entire plane should have been basically scavenged by this time by the five escorts with usable equipment, and what was left should have been too much to take away.

Du Sanying was extremely lucky to get a shot in.

Bai Liu raises his jaw and tells Du Sanying to get his gear on and sit in his seat to secure his harness before letting Du Sanying hold him in place to put on his gear.

It was only then that Du Sanying caught his breath, covering his oxygen mask and breathing heavily: "- where are the five escorts you said were on the plane?"

Bai Liu covered his face with the oxygen mask and reached for the seatbelt on the seat.

"In an emergency like this, the escort is either in the cockpit or in the cargo hold."

Bai Liu wraps his head around the parachute to avoid being hit by a hard object during the bumpy ride, and Bai Liu gestures to Du Sanying's forehead to show him to do the same.

Du Sanying replied loudly from his oxygen mask, his voice muffled, "- I don't need to! These debris can't hit me!"

As he spoke, he reached into the plane's gallery and a spanner flying from the side of a fire hydrant threatened to break Du Sanying's arm, but in the nick of time, the plane lurched up and down in a strange way.

The spanner grazed the back of Du Sanying's hand and crashed into the steel plate, denting it deeply, but leaving Du Sanying's soft little arm unharmed.

"Just watch!" Du Sanying kept speaking very loudly and desperately to make sure Bai Liu could hear him, "It's okay if you hide behind me and don't have to wrap your head around it!"

As they spoke, the red warning lights on either side of the end of the aircraft promenade came on, and a loudspeaker above the red lights played a mechanical automatic alarm.

"The aircraft is experiencing unusual weather with Buming clouds constantly washing upwards over both wings, causing the aircraft to lurch, please prepare for an emergency landing - zzzzz -"

Soon this mechanical sounding announcement was cut out and turned into a human announcement, spoken in a fast and panicked voice:

"There was a crew member passed out on this side of the freighter bay, knocked out by me, and those five body parts, once exposed, would be so close they would make people mentally descend and not be able to parachute out of the metal box to carry them at all."

"A direct parachute landing with a body mass won't work."

The radio nuzzled and nuzzled, and it wasn't long before another voice changed, "But those five metal boxes are specially made and are just too heavy, so if landing alone or with us won't work, we'll have to consider either dumping them in the sea or crashing with the plane on land."

Bai Liu and Du Sanying looked at each other - this would be the five escorts' intra-team communication and radio frequencies linked together to keep each other informed in such extreme situations.

The radio continues to broadcast.

"Definitely not in the sea, the water is so fluid that once the metal box is deposited for too long and corrodes to expose its contents, the body parts can contaminate the world with the help of sea water!"

"But crashing on land can contaminate the Antarctic belt just as much if the box is damaged during landing ......"

"You can wrap it in a cotton woven item like a winter jacket, right?"

"No, have you forgotten the dried leaf rose? This corpse can alienate anything, even plant-based items like cotton, and Captain Su has repeatedly warned us not to wrap the holding box in plant-based items."

"But there simply aren't many chemical-based fibre cushions on the plane, and there's no cushioning effect, ah, under such a high airflow impact, unless we make human flesh cushions for the box - a spacer of high-density bone and muscle that might cushion the impact of a speedfall... ..."

"Even if landing on land pollutes the Antarctic, polluting the land is more manageable than polluting the ocean! The population density of the Antarctic is so low, even if they are sacrificed ......"

"SHUT UP!!!"

A stern rebuke interrupted several arguments, and there was a moment of radio silence before saying, "If we take sacrifice as a trade-off and a matter of course, then what's the point of being a member of the Heretic Authority when we're still going to be ordinary people?"

"We, as members of the Heretic Authority, are here to avoid the sacrifice of any ordinary person."

There was silence on the radio for a few more seconds, only the sound of zipping electricity.

"How many boxes are there?" The man enquired.

The man in the cargo hold replied, "Captain, eight in all."

After another moment of silence, this captain said in a mute voice, "All crew, listen to the order, the plane's forced landing location is Antarctic land, each person is responsible for a metal box, wrapped in flesh to cushion the box, to avoid the box breaking when landing and contaminating the Antarctic, posing a threat to the ordinary people living there."

There was a long interval before someone returned very softly, "Yes, Captain."

Someone asked weakly, "Captain, but what about the three more boxes?"

The radio was quiet for a few more seconds before the captain spoke, "Later you will divide me into four pieces and wrap the box with the muscles and bones of my upper limbs, lower limbs, and back."

"This part of the abdominal cavity has the strongest rib frame cushioning, this part should save one and the other three ......"

The captain paused in exhaustion, the energy in his voice was all gone at this moment, and his tone was as light as if he had muttered: "...... We have failed in our duty, we have failed Team Su and failed to protect ...... "

"-boxes and ordinary people."
