The Alien Queen was running through the rainforest, occasionally letting out a fierce roar, her enormous claws leaving a trail of footprints in the ground as she ran, reminiscent of a Tyrannosaur.
Nothing along the way dared to disturb her.
Although the Alien Queen's two smaller foreclaws were quite dainty, used only to assist with feeding, she also had two other, much sturdier arms that constantly pushed aside branches along the path to prevent them from scratching Tao Yu on her back.
Wino and Cao Shaolin also clung to the Alien Queen's body; comfort was hardly a concern for these two creatures.
Little Black, with its agile frame, kept running on the trees beside them, much like a monkey.
With the Alien Queen clearing the path, the group led by Huang Jian followed tirelessly along this route.
Even Bai Ya's Inner City Pioneer team, though strong among the Pioneers of the Inner City, found it strenuous to keep up while each carrying an Alien tail, but they managed to hold steady.
"This, running , I can't perceive anything, all of you need to be careful."
Out of breath, Bai Ya said to her companions.
With Lin Chao running off and taking his sister with him, the team was now relying on Bai Ya's "Perception" to make do.
But obviously, this Perception ability, which added almost no combat bonus, was significantly less effective once she started to run strenuously.
Bai Ya, gradually falling behind the group, felt a chill in her heart.
It was too dangerous to run at such high speeds through the jungle without scouting ahead!
Especially for herself!
If an attack came, she would likely be the first to suffer, buying the others time to react, which was why they dared to run .
She wasn't cannon fodder, but she was serving the function of cannon fodder...
Fortunately, Bai Ya, taking advantage of her slight physical appeal, 'reminded' her teammates, and two of the male members of the four-person squad slowed down to guard by her side.
"It should be fine, we have the Alien Queen leading the way; we'll be there soon, you can slow down."
No sooner had these words been spoken, they could see the parachute growing closer ahead.
A series of snapping sounds from branches being crushed, and the parachutist, caught by tree branches, was left swinging in mid-air.
The pilot also saw the approaching Alien Queen, as well as Little Black jumping over from the branches.
Although his helmet obscured his expression, the fear of the pilot was palpable.
No matter how much training a fighter pilot goes through, the experience of crashing, bailing out into the rainforest, and being immediately confronted by face-hugging aliens was utterly terrifying.
His mouth was filled with panicked 'curses,' and he seemed to be fumbling for a weapon he barely ever needed to use.
Pilots were usually armed only with a pistol at most; the most useful thing for survival was actually a surrender document in multiple languages.
But the problem now was, he didn't think these creatures would understand a surrender document!
Tao Yu also heard the pilot's fluent use of Nan Bang language and was somewhat surprised.
Based on the equipment on his person and the fighter jet model he had seen indistinctly before, the pilot should be from Nan Bang.
Well, what was a Nan Bang fighter jet doing in the Amazon rainforest? There must have been an incident.
Either something major happened in this world, or it was the New World! .net
Unable to understand Nan Bang language, Tao Yu didn't care about the cost of translation benefits, and just shouted,
"What's your situation?"
Huang Jian and the others following behind also looked up at the pilot.
Although they didn't understand him either, they could tell it was different from the English they had heard previously.
Huang Jian, who had self-taught some everyday language with the help of technology, was also speechless and could only use Yuan Force to listen.
"Do you speak Korean? Are you one of us? That's great, please, hurry and get me down, what's the deal with these monsters, do they bite?"
Seeing Tao Yu riding on the back of the Alien Queen.
The pilot grew a bit bolder, especially after hearing Tao Yu's words, thinking he had found a fellow countryman.
Tao Yu signaled to Little Black to cut the parachute cords and then had Little Black hold the rope to bring the pilot down from the tree.
"What exactly happened, how did you fly here?"
Tao Yu didn't reveal too much and took advantage of the other's distress to ask again.
The pilot, whose fears of the aliens were put on hold, was comforted by the fact that Little Black had saved him. Indeed, the pilot had strong psychological resilience.
"I'm Captain An Zhijie from the 35th Squadron, and honestly, I don't know what happened. Suddenly, auroras appeared in the sky, and then the auroras seemed to slice the sky apart...
"After that, the sea and land around our country changed abruptly, turning into this forest..."
An Zhijie took off his helmet while speaking, revealing a plain face.
As a pilot, it's impossible to have cosmetic surgery during service, so his appearance was quite natural.
Hearing this, Tao Yu also had some thoughts in mind, but he turned to look at Huang Jian and Nuosen, who knew more.
"I'm just a country bumpkin from the Outer City, what do you guys from the Inner City think?"
Upon hearing Tao Yu's comment, Huang Jian felt like he was about to crash. A country bumpkin from the Outer City, huh...
But he dared not ignore Tao Yu's words and speculated,
"It must have been the debris fall we just encountered; such occurrences are normal in the Abyss. It's not the forest that fell on them, but rather their place that plunged into the Abyss, happening to fall into the rainforest.
