Chapter 99
Good? Evil?
Chapter 100 Good? Evil?
With the vast sky above him and auspicious clouds beneath his feet, watching the boundless sky rapidly leave him behind, Zhang Wei's face flushed slightly.
I'm genuinely excited.
But more often it's due to external pressure.
Before setting off, Zhang Wei wanted to test his physical limits after stacking several spells and magical effects, so after discussing it, he boldly removed some of the protective measures. As it turned out, the effect was okay. Although he could feel some discomfort from the pressure, it did not affect his normal activities.
Of course, it's fine inside the plane, but outside, let alone whether he can withstand the double blow of the cold and the hurricane, at this speed alone, even with the Blood Fiend's stamina-conserving effect, he wouldn't last more than a few minutes before his mana is exhausted.
However, what distinguishes humans from other living beings is that they can use, and even more importantly, create, tools!
His thoughts were confirmed. Coming back to his senses, he looked at the changing environment around him and became even more curious about the layout of the cabin. Of course, while he was curious, Zhang Wei wasn't so clueless as to move around recklessly.
How beautiful!
Not only the scenery in the sky, but also the beauty of the earthly landscape was something he had never seen before.
After passing through another dense cloud layer, the halo outside the cabin suddenly faded.
As historical snapshots continue to fall and the secular world expands continuously, the already undulating Loess Plateau now reveals its true face due to the dispersal of the population.
Brown waves surged forth from the cracks in the clouds. Millions of years of wind sculpted the plateau into thousands of brittle, thin slices, and within the undulating waves, veins of ochre and rust were solidified.
Suspended dust casts an amber-like filter over the earth, and the sharply defined ridges cast jagged shadows.
Those solitary mounds, gnawed out by the monsoon, are slowly turning, their sun-facing sides steaming with a sulfurous, blazing white, while their shady sides are settling with the deep purple of wine stains.
The scenery was beautiful, but Zhang Wei didn't have much time to appreciate it in detail.
Before they knew it, the voice from their earpiece came through: "We have reached our destination. Patrol officers, please wait until the isolation pod is completely sealed before pulling the handle on the back seat to parachute!"
The driver's voice forcibly brought Zhang Wei back from the shock of the world.
Immediately afterwards, a thick, transparent cover was seen rising rapidly between the front and rear seats and connecting with the original recessed mechanism.
With a sound of the engine flaps closing, the plane's speed decreased to below subsonic.
The cabin overhead was rapidly receding, and the howling wind instantly lashed Zhang Wei's face. Looking at the pilot in front of him who was giving a thumbs-up, he returned the gesture and, amidst the pilot's slightly startled gaze, unbuckled his seatbelt.
The next instant, the pilot, who turned around abruptly, saw only an empty seat and the closing rear cabin.
Before he could utter a word from his dry throat, a dense crimson light emerged from the sky behind him, then merged with it to form a blurry human figure that shot straight down to the earth below.
Faintly, the remaining crimson light high in the sky seemed to be giving him an "OK" sign.
Watching the rapidly dissipating red clouds, the driver shook his head helplessly.
These young people these days really put people's hearts to the test!
Bai Jingzu came out of the house carrying a greasy rag. He carefully held the wrapped rag in his hands and turned to walk into a room in the corner of the courtyard.
After closing the door behind him and making sure no light was coming in, he placed the oil-soaked rag on the table in the dim candlelight.
He carefully opened the cloth and saw the gold threads trembling in the middle of the fabric. The smile on his relieved old face was exceptionally genuine.
Holding a carving knife, he cut off strands of gold thread like a skilled craftsman, clipping them one by one onto a white cloth with tweezers, and then walked to the corner and placed them on a wooden frame that had been prepared beforehand.
Looking at the newly harvested golden threads, and then at the layers of dried golden threads displaying their dazzling colors on the surrounding racks, the joy of a bountiful harvest instantly filled his heart and soul.
"How's his dad doing?"
Seeing her old man emerge from the darkroom, the old woman who had been waiting at the door took the basket full of straw from Bai Jingzu's hand and asked.
"You've been eating well these days, and the golden threads are growing very well!" Bai Jingzu chimed in, "But it's only because you're young. The more you supplement, the more you'll lose. Our small family doesn't have that much fat."
"After a few more collections, it's time to replace it!"
At this moment, the young man standing to the side spoke up: "Dad, can we not change it? I really like Xiao Cui!"
The young man had barely finished speaking when he was kicked in the leg.
Seeing his son fall to the ground, Bai Jingzu felt a pang of heartache, but he didn't lessen his kicks at all: "Bullshit! You think you like him? You're just infatuated! Don't be fooled by his current submissive and gentle nature. Once you've got him under your protection, who knows when he'll cause you a huge disturbance!"
"I finally managed to get rid of some lackeys, and now you've brought them back. I won't be able to save you then!"
"Besides, who am I working so hard for? Isn't it all for you, you piece of trash?"
If you're so incompetent, save up some money for your family. Even if your parents die, you won't starve. And if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you to death!
"Alright, alright, stop hitting him! He's our only son, what if we hurt him?"
Seeing his wife rushing forward to pull him away, Bai Jingzu angrily kicked her again: "Damn it, go to the outhouse and burn all this, then go ask the neighbors if anyone's land is still in danger."
"When the time comes, pick a day and go to town to ask around, see if any new ones have arrived recently. Then bring back a couple of top-quality ones for our pig to eat a couple of times. With new ones, he'll gradually forget about the old ones."
"Hey, I'm going to burn it, please don't hit me again!"
Bai Jingzu waved his hand: "Go quickly, I still have to mix fertilizer later, I have a lot to do, I can't waste time with him!"
After saying that, looking at his son lying on the ground staring blankly at the sky, Bai Jingzu's anger, which had just subsided, rose again: "You coward, what are you still lying here for? Still trying to cheat your father, huh?"
"No, no, Dad, look, why is there a red cloud in the sky?"
"You coward, if you're lying to me, I'll beat you to death today..."
"
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Jingzu, who had looked up, also saw the red cloud his son was talking about.
No, that's not a red cloud!
Seeing the bright red object plummeting from the sky at incredible speed towards their village in the blink of an eye, Bai Jingzu's old face turned ashen: "We're doomed!"
