Chapter 2903: Chapter 968: Weren’t Post-Epilogue Stories Supposed to Be Lighthearted? Are You Serious About This Level of Combat?

The Golden Flash is a small airship from Perfect Shipping Company, which Captain Paula purchased from others and has since been performing commercial transport, with no formal combat experience in the past Transylvania war.

Not having been on battlegrounds left the airship’s captain somewhat inexperienced in crisis management, compounded by its overload from carrying three Dragon Knights and their replacement weapon components and backup materials, leading to its failure to complete a rapid ascent and getting hit by some damn anti-aircraft fire from the ground.

Nevertheless, the half-body individuals appointed as captains by Paula are true veterans in this field. After the initial chaos, the airship’s maintenance crew promptly began self-rescue.

The female half-body captain in a blue captain’s uniform used her sharp voice to command her crew to open the ailerons and the large parachute on top of the airship, while also arranging for the rapid discharge of ballast water from the remaining airbags to restore some buoyancy to the airship.

Meanwhile, the deck cabin below the airship was quickly opened.

The one hundred and fifty people on board belong to the Proud Guild, comprised entirely of players who, by any classification, are unmistakably newbies, with many having just passed the Black Iron trials, led by the couple Xugou and Duke Maotu from the "Zodiac" series.

Even though they’re newbies facing their first "crash incident," their performance was much better than everyone else’s at this moment.

They carried parachutes that had the opening time adjusted, faced the cold wind whistling toward them without fear, and instead brimmed with eagerness.

"I’ve long wanted to try high-altitude skydiving in real life! Finally fulfilling my dream this time!"

A male elf player with the ID "Had to Soak Goji" wearing a helmet and carrying a Blood Vulture Claw Rifle, looked like he was a cannon fodder brother coming to join WWII, screamed excitedly and gained a loud cheer from the surrounding crowd.

Indeed, there are few opportunities to experience such an event in reality. To them, this unfortunate emergency landing is equivalent to a free "game CGI" experience of exceptional quality.

"Bring your weapons, remember to steer well when landing, don’t damn get caught in a tree; that would be embarrassing."

Xugou put on his commander face and shouted loudly several times to the restless newbies behind him, not finishing before his wife, Duke Maotu, enthusiastically stepped forward first, taking a leap of faith out of the open cabin door.

The posture was standard, elegant, and grand, drawing loud cheers from the crowd of newbies, some even whistling and shouting bizarrely, "Step on me, big sister."

"Darn! Wait for me!"

Xugou couldn’t bother with the briefing anymore.

After all, his wife was important, so he leapt out second.

The newbies looked at each other, then rushed forward, jumping down in various poses amid cheers—some somersaulted in the air, others plummeted straight with arms crossed and legs clamped, while some tried mimicking Superman’s flying posture or Batman’s cape-opening in the sky.

Uh, for that last one, due to the uneven force on the cape, he ended up plummeting directly into the airship’s rear propeller, with a screech turning into a stream of light "going to reincarnate," while his equipment ungraciously scattered as high-altitude debris.

Considering the respawn points for newbies are mostly bound to Crimson Castle or the Maginot Line, this fellow is likely to resurrect feeling quite anguished with a bare bottomed appearance.

Seriously, is the old guy’s iconic in-air cape-opening something anyone can mimic?

Moreover, even Batman only opens his cape in safe airspace; there’s no way you guys would do it this recklessly!

The one hundred and fifty newbies completed the airdrop within two minutes, leaving only the warriors from the Seventh Ranger Battalion in the cabin, dumbfounded. Although they’ve all fought alongside the spirits, truthfully, most of them are still unable to adapt to the spirits’ excessively active and unstable mental state.

"Vampires, each take up two warriors!"

Captain Mia, clutching her Cannibal Demon’s Hammer, shouted:

"Control the flight path, upon landing I’ll shoot a signal flare, then converge in my direction!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

The Vampire Warriors acting as squad leaders immediately stepped forward, grabbing their subordinates and spreading their wings to fly out. The soldiers not lifted by the "wings of love" from squad leaders donned parachutes and jumped out of the cabin, while Mia herself opened her wings preparing to fly out, but before leaving she glanced back at Old Qu who was packing his parachute.

Originally, Brother Qu was supposed to wait on the "Ironheart Annihilator" with the Big Bird Team, but in the name of love, he came here only to unluckily encounter the crash.

"Go down yourself, I’ll use this."

Noticing Mia’s gaze, Brother Qu smiled, nodding to his parachute in a very masculine way, but Captain Mia shook her head, saying:

"Your special Cannibal Demon’s Hammer is too heavy; parachuting down might cause an accident..."

"But I’m at least a Silver Ranker, and with a Rapid Eagle exoskeleton, fall damage won’t kill me."

Old Qu patted his chest, saying:

"Relax, don’t worry about me!"

"I..."

Captain Mia was somewhat speechless as she glanced at Major Qu, having said this much, why can’t this foreigner get the hint? You don’t want me to take you down?
