The sound of roaring wind suddenly exploded in their ears.
The first thing they saw was a white, glowing skyline.
Below them was a boundless, churning sea of clouds.
Through the thin spots in the cloud cover, they could see the land far below, ten thousand meters away.
The vast mountain ranges, winding and undulating, were laid out before them in their entirety.
The magnificent cities built of steel and concrete were also compressed together, only the size of fists.
The wide rivers were incredibly small, like white cracks on the earth.
Liam and Liam stared blankly at the magnificent spectacle before them, their mouths hanging open, speechless, their hair being tousled in the wind.
After a long while, Liam slapped himself hard in the face, looking dumbfounded.
"Holy sh*t!"
"Am I dreaming?"
"Where the hell am I?"
Liam looked heartbroken, raised his middle fingers with both hands, and cursed at the sky: "Heavens, Earth, please, make our boss act like a human being!"
To be honest, he had prepared himself mentally before the masks came off.
He figured this drop tower wouldn't be simple; it might be very high!
But he never would have imagined it would be this ridiculously high, above the clouds!
It wasn't just a little higher than other drop towers, it was a f*cking million times higher!
Coming back to his senses, Liam twitched his lips a few times and said, "Your boss is too ruthless! I'd estimate this height is close to ten thousand meters!"
Liam craned his neck, looking down at the sea of clouds, and said, "Now is not the time to marvel at this; how are we supposed to get down?"
"Hey, what's so hard about that? Have you forgotten what I used to do?" Liam laughed nonchalantly, "If you don't know how to parachute, or if you're scared, just hold onto me, and I'll definitely bring you down safely!"
"Oh, right!" Liam slapped his forehead, remembering that the person next to him used to be a pilot, so he must be skilled in parachuting!
"Sigh!
It's still better that the boss has some sense, and had the foresight to assign a man with skydiving skills along with me!"
"But didn't your boss say this was a drop tower?" Liam scratched his head, saying in confusion, "But if we just jump down like this, won't it become a skydiving activity?"
Liam’s eyes widened, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
He knew Jake never lied!
Since he said this was a drop tower, it definitely wouldn't inexplicably turn into a skydiving activity!
"Not good!" Liam shouted, "Quick, look for a parachute!"
"What are you talking about?" Liam laughed, "How is it possible to provide a parachute for a skydiving sport!"
"Stop talking nonsense, start looking immediately!" Liam was anxious, roaring, rising and rising.
Liam turned his head somewhat angrily and rummaged through the cabin.
The cabin of this unmanned helicopter isn't big, only has four seats in total, and there are no other storage spaces. All the items are clearly visible.
Liam took a few glances, and his heart sank!
He didn't see a parachute pack!
Liam didn't say anything, his figure flashed and moved in the cabin, his eyes watching in all directions, and his ears listening in all directions!
But the entire cabin was turned upside down by him. Let alone a parachute, he didn't even see an extra screw.
"Damn it, it seems like there really isn't a parachute bag. Did your dog boss forget to put it in?" Liam cursed!
"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" Liam felt like he couldn't catch his breath, his eyes went dark, and he slumped on the chair.
Liam was also desperate.
This is ten thousand meters in the sky.
Without a parachute bag, let alone him, a former student pilot, even ace paratroopers would have no solution here.
Anyone who jumps dies!
"It's okay, let's just sit in the helicopter and wait for it to go down." Liam patted Liam on the shoulder, comforting him.
Liam looked despairing, and said, "Brother, you don't understand, you don't understand our boss at all!"
"I've had less contact with your boss, but can he send us down from here without a parachute? Wouldn't that be an obvious desire for us to die?" Liam said confidently, "Your boss won't do such a stupid thing, especially since we don't have any grievances with him!"
"Heh!" Liam was too lazy to explain, responding with a sneer.
Just then, the helicopter shook violently.
The two hurriedly hugged the chairs, looking around in panic.
"What's wrong?" Liam looked around.
"Ding, five minutes are about to pass. It has been detected that the two people in the cabin have not yet jumped. Mandatory disembarkation measures will be taken!"
A sweet mechanical female voice sounded in both of their helmets!
The next second, the doors on both sides of the helicopter automatically popped open, and the fierce wind swept through, making it difficult for both of them to open their eyes!
The seats of both of them moved, sending them to before the hatch.
"Wait a minute, I don't have a parachute bag!"
"Hold on!"
"My chair moved, I'm out of this f*cking ride!"
Liam gesticulated wildly, his face filled with terror, shouting and yelling.
Liam, on the other hand, had already accepted the arrangement of fate, with a bitter and tragic look on his face, squeezing out a sound from his teeth, word by word.
"Mike, Ethan, I treated you as brothers in vain, but now you treat me like this!"
"I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
After the two finished their "last words," the chairs suddenly shook, and the two of them were like arrows off a bowstring, instantly ejected out of the cabin and plunging to the ground!
"Aah~"
The screams of the two echoed back and forth in the clouds!
It's a pity that apart from them, there is no one here!
The air temperature at ten thousand meters is very low, coupled with the howling gale.
The temperature around the two instantly dropped below freezing point, and the bone-chilling cold instantly spread from the skin to the whole body, and their hands and feet began to freeze, becoming inflexible.
But no matter how cold their bodies were, it couldn't match half of the coldness in their hearts.
Liam had given up struggling!
He knew that if he kept falling from such a height, no matter what posture he used to buffer the impact of the moment of landing, he would not be able to save his life.
If he was lucky, he could leave two more bones for his relatives and friends to take for cremation.
If he was unlucky, he would have to ask his relatives and friends to pay for a few sanitation workers to clean up the trash.
"Mom, I might have to watch the death of a child who is whiter than you and sends black people. I don't know who will take care of you after I leave!"
The two of them plunged into the layers of clouds like cannonballs.
The heavy clouds completely wrapped the two of them, making it impossible to distinguish directions and positions for a while.
At the same time, the helmets of the two lit up at the same time, and a sweet voice came.
"Ding, the positioning navigation system has been successfully activated!"
"Locating!"
"Successfully located!"
"Start navigation!"
