Chapter 529: Chapter 249: Powerful Ability Chapter 529: Chapter 249: Powerful Ability Yan Fei had discovered the new location coordinates hidden within the previous coordinates, but he couldn't be sure if it was a coincidence or if Yang Qi had done it on purpose. Therefore, he couldn't confirm whether Yang Qi was at the new location or still at the current one. However, this didn't pose a problem for Yan Fei. He simply needed to control the drone to fly to the new coordinates to check. If he couldn't find Yang Qi there, or if there were no traces left by Yang Qi, it would suggest that the new coordinates were coincidental, and Yang Qi would be at the original coordinates.
Once Yan Fei had formulated his plan, the drone began to turn and flew out of the range of the white cloud, slowly heading southeast. The drone flew silently, not only equipped with radar stealth but also a certain degree of optical camouflage, so the US Army forces below had no idea that a plane had just left the area.
To save energy, the drone's flight speed was only a quarter of what it was before. Even so, a distance of over a hundred kilometers was nothing to the drone. Half an hour later, the drone had arrived at the new coordinates. But after this consumption, the drone's total energy points were down to 160,000.
Hidden within a giant cloud cluster at an altitude of 5,000 meters, the drone “observed” the terrain below. Combining the new coordinates' position, Yan Fei found that they corresponded to a narrow canyon. However, the canyon was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to clearly see what was beneath.
Yan Fei concentrated his attention, using the drone's “vision” capabilities to observe the surrounding terrain. He realized the area was still within the Rocky Mountains, appearing very remote, with not a single soul around. At the entrance of the canyon was a winding highway, on which there was a motorcycle covered in fresh blood. Expanding the drone's vision, he discovered that there were no signs of human activity within a 5-kilometer radius, and naturally, no ambushes either.
That is to say, if this was really where Yang Qi was hiding, he had successfully deceived the US Army, having them set up a useless perimeter at the wrong location. After confirming that the area was safe, the drone descended slowly to the canyon above, camouflaged by the white cloud in the sky.
The drone hovered midair, then rolled over, and the cockpit door opened. Yan Fei jumped out of the cockpit, directly descending into the canyon below, disappearing into the mist. After dropping Yan Fei off at the canyon, the drone closed its door and rose again, re-concealing itself within a cloud at an altitude of 3,000 meters.
Yan Fei descended rapidly, constantly striking the stones and tree trunks on both sides of the canyon to use the reaction force to slow his descent. Suddenly, everything darkened before Yan Fei's eyes as the mist disappeared, revealing that he had passed through the cloud region. Then, with his eyes quickly scanning, he clearly saw the geography below.
Just as Yan Fei was about to hit the ground, he exerted force on his hands, smashing a boulder on the cliff wall to dust, then used the massive reactive force to bring his velocity to zero. Following that, he performed two somersaults, landing on a stone platform below.
Having fallen from nearly five hundred meters, Yan Fei landed safely without any tools, relying solely on his strength, without sustaining any injuries, showcasing his terrifying strength.
Standing firm on the platform, Yan Fei realized that the canyon was deserted. However, on the road, he found some blood traces. He frowned and quickly determined that one direction led to the entrance, and then he followed the blood trail deeper into the canyon. After walking for five or six minutes, he came upon a large pool, with water constantly flowing from the canyon walls into this pool, then running off into a crack in the stones whose depth was unknown.
At the side of the pool, a person was sitting on a stone, holding someone else, motionless. Yan Fei was startled and called out softly, “Yang Qi!” The person stirred and turned around; it was Yan Fei's good friend, Yang Qi.
By this time, Yang Qi looked unkempt, with disheveled hair and a sloppy beard, appearing exhausted. Seeing Yan Fei suddenly appear, his eyes showed little emotion as he said, “Yan Fei, you've finally come, but you're too late.”
Yan Fei jumped down to the poolside and saw that the person Yang Qi held in his arms was his girlfriend, Xiang Xiang. However, Xiang Xiang was covered in blood, with her eyes tightly closed and motionless, her situation seeming quite dire.
Taking a step forward, Yan Fei felt for Xiang Xiang's pulse and found that it had stopped beating, her body had turned cold, and her limbs were stiff, clearly indicating she had been dead for some time.
Yang Qi was also covered in blood, and it was unclear whose blood it was. Yang Qi did not stop Yan Fei's actions, speaking indifferently, “You don't need to check, I've confirmed it, she's already dead.”
Yan Fei stood up and asked seriously, “Yang Qi, whose blood is on you? Are you injured?”
Yang Qi replied indifferently, “The blood is Xiang Xiang's, I'm not injured.”
Yan Fei finally let out a sigh of relief and asked, “Yang Qi, were you framed by someone?”
