Chapter 866 Polar Skydiving
"Let's skydive."
Qi Lin said that Qi Lin is quite confident in his marksmanship. In addition, he has the ability of Hawkeye, which is almost a plug-in for a shooter. In this aspect alone, he wants to improve through training. It can be said that there are very few. Instead of spending time and energy on this, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to make up for your shortcomings.
And skydiving happens to be one of Qi Lin's shortcomings.
In the old days, when Qi Lin was a mercenary, he could basically count the number of parachute jumps he made on one hand - the most commonly used flying vehicle for mercenaries was helicopters. To jump out of a helicopter, you only need to rappel, not a parachute.
As for the underground shelter later, there was no chance of parachuting. In addition, due to the "no-fly order" in the "Wasteland Survival Code", Qi Lin's last parachuting was seven or eight years ago. .
"The skydiving training program is being loaded. The location is five thousand meters above Tomur Peak in the Tianshan Mountains."
"Wait...how high?!"
As soon as Qi Lin asked, the surrounding scene changed drastically in an instant - one second Qi Lin was standing on the edge of the radiation swamp, the next second he was already in a sealed cabin.
"If I remember correctly, the main peak of Tianshan Mountain is more than 7,000 meters high. Adding these 5,000 meters, it's already over 10,000 meters!"
"The record for human high-altitude skydiving in the old days was 40,000 meters. As a fifth-level evolver, don't you dare to jump even 10,000 meters?" The mastermind stood at the other end of the cabin, carrying a parachute bag and a set of Gliding wingsuit.
"I know that record. The guy is wearing something similar to a space suit, which is far different from the equipment you provided -" Qi Lin said, looking at the wing suit that had no actual protective capabilities. .
"It is precisely for this reason that I will keep the skydiving height within the troposphere." The mastermind said, throwing the thing in his hand to Qi Lin.
"Okay, but does parachuting at this height have any practical significance?" Qi Lin asked after putting on the wing suit and parachute bag.
"It has no practical significance. With the anti-aircraft firepower in the area where the main brain is located, you will be beaten into pieces as soon as you jump out of the cabin - and that is only if the plane is not shot down in advance."
"Then you still want me to dance?"
"in case for need."
After saying that, the door on the side of the cabin was opened by the mastermind. The biting cold wind carried hail and poured into the cabin instantly. The hard ice particles hit Qi Lin's helmet, making a crackling sound, and The powerful suction force was constantly pulling him out of the cabin. Qi Lin could only hold on to the pull ring above his head and spread his legs on both sides of the cabin door to prevent himself from being powerful. The air pressure is sucked out.
Looking back at the mastermind, even though it was also standing in the strong wind, not only did he not need any clinging movements, even the corners of the retro-style suit he was wearing were not moved by the wind at all.
The snowstorm outside was still going on. Everywhere Qi Lin could see was a vast expanse of white, with visibility less than five meters. Skydiving in this kind of weather was like seeking death even in the eyes of some skydiving experts. No difference.
"This is all virtual anyway..."
Qi Lin was heartbroken and gritted his teeth. As soon as he let go of his hand, his whole body was sucked directly outside the cabin, and then fell rapidly downwards.
The temperature outside the cabin was probably dozens of degrees below zero. Although the hang glider was equipped with a vacuum insulation layer, it still couldn't stop the chill that penetrated into the bone marrow. Qi Lin had no choice but to increase the speed of the energy-gathering vortex to 7,500 rpm. , relying on the energy flowing at high speed in the body to maintain one's own body temperature.
Qi Lin's arms and legs were tightly together. In this situation, he would never dare to open the gliding membrane. There would be turbulent air everywhere. If the wing membrane opens, his whole body will immediately roll over and lose control, just like a small boat rolled up by a tsunami.
The momentum of the blizzard never diminished. Apart from the hail that kept hitting his goggles, Qi Lin couldn't see anything. He could only rely on the altimeter on his wrist to know the height of his current location. and falling speed.
"The altitude is 11,000 meters... why is it falling so slowly..." For the first time in his life, Qi Lin hoped that the earth's gravitational acceleration could become greater so that he could escape from this death zone as soon as possible.
"By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you." The mastermind's voice suddenly sounded in Qi Lin's ears.
"What's going on?" Qi Lin, who was shivering in the snowstorm, felt nervous and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"The no-fly order in "Wasteland Survival Code" is not simply set up to restrict players. In the real wasteland, the sky is actually more dangerous than the ground."
"Holy shit, what do you mean by that? Don't tell me that I can still bump into flying mutant creatures in this kind of weather?! This is an altitude of 10,000 meters!"
"Why not? Watch your rear right."
Hearing what the mastermind said, Qi Lin quickly turned his head and saw that at some point, a huge creature that looked very similar to the King Blood Dragon Lizard and was covered with white scales was following closely behind him. The sharp fangs were less than two meters away from Qi Lin, and the distance was still shrinking.
"Holy shit! What is this?! Why can this thing fly in this kind of weather?!" Qi Lin shouted in horror, quickly opened the wing membrane on the right side, and quickly moved to the left with the help of the wind.
Under the action of air resistance, Qi Lin's descent slowed down slightly, which brought him right above the mutated creature. But from this angle, Qi Lin could only see that this guy was not far away. One-third of the body, the rest, was submerged in the pale blizzard.
"This thing is bigger than an airplane... no, it's bigger than a king-blood dragon lizard!"
"It is one of the close relatives of the king-blooded dragon lizard, but unlike the king-blooded dragon lizard, its flying ability is much stronger. So in this kind of weather, it can easily fly through blizzards and fly up to 10,000 meters. In the sky above - based on its abilities, I chose a very appropriate name from the fantasy novels of the old era: 'Frost Dragon'."
"FNNDP! The Frost Dragon is an undead creature, a pile of skeletons, not this kind of thing. In addition, aren't lizards cold-blooded animals? In this environment, they should hibernate instead of flying around in the sky! This unscientific!"
"This is very scientific. After many mutations and evolutions, the Frost Dragon has long adapted to the extremely cold environment. It does not need to hibernate or migrate, as long as it can obtain enough heat through eating...or radiation energy , it can maintain its own body temperature in the extreme cold...well, just like you rely on concentrated energy vortex to keep warm."
"Maintaining body temperature by eating? Huh? Where can such a bird find so much food if it doesn't poop?"
"Yes, the main prey target of the frost dragon is high-level mutant organisms. These mutant organisms often contain a large amount of radiation energy. They only need to eat once to obtain energy that can last for several weeks. The special characteristics of the frost dragon Its sensing ability allows it to lock on to targets from dozens of kilometers away in a snowstorm. In its field of vision, these prey are as eye-catching as bright lights in the dark night."
"Damn... In other words, it was my energy-gathering vortex that attracted this big guy?"
"right."
At this time, the Frost Dragon had adjusted its flight posture and was in a position parallel to Qi Lin. At this time, Qi Lin was still three thousand meters away from Tomur Peak directly below.
He had to slow down. If he continued to fall at a high speed, he would soon be directly under the frost dragon, which was a very disadvantageous position for Qi Lin.
Opening his limbs as much as possible, Qi Lin stretched his body into a large shape. The fierce airflow instantly filled the wing membranes between the limbs, stretching the wing membranes to the limit, and Qi Lin's height immediately exceeded The giant frost dragon moved to one side and returned directly above the giant frost dragon again.
"Does this guy have any attack methods? Don't tell me he can also spit fireballs like the King Blood Dragon Lizard!" Qi Lin asked.
"No, the Frost Dragon only has melee attacks, but it is very powerful. I don't recommend that you fight it, especially in the air."
"Of course I don't want to fight it!"
Qi Lin adjusted his gliding angle again, but at this moment, the frost dragon below suddenly opened its wings - its wings were much larger than the wing membrane area of the gliding wing suit, and the obtained The blocking force was also much greater. Qi Lin only saw the frost dragon's back covered with hard scales crashing towards him quickly!
"Damn it, I can't hide-"
"Bang!!"
Qi Lin collided heavily with the frost dragon. Under the huge impact, several of Qi Lin's ribs were broken directly. The broken bone stubble was inserted into the muscles, and the severe pain caused Qi Lin. Lin's face twitched involuntarily.
"hiss……"
This collision seriously injured Qi Lin, but fortunately he was not knocked unconscious. He grabbed the edge of the frost dragon's scales with both hands, and his whole body was attached to the frost dragon's back.
In this case, it was impossible to put the broken bones back into place. Qi Lin could only endure the severe pain and slowly crawl forward.
"You are lucky that the broken ribs were not inserted into the internal organs. Otherwise, you might have died." The mastermind said.
"Luck... luck... is also... part of... strength... isn't it..." Qi Lin said through clenched teeth while crawling.
"Then I hope your luck will continue to be good."
The frost dragon seemed to have noticed that the prey was not killed, but stuck to its back. It actually made a 180-degree turn in the blizzard, and then flapped its wings again. He continued to rise and performed a series of difficult movements in an attempt to throw Qi Lin off his back.
"Jai... you stupid lizard... please... calm down..."
Qi Lin used his beam saber to punch a hole in the frost dragon's scales, and then fastened the safety rope's buckle, so that he would not be thrown off by the frost dragon.
The blizzard with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour kept roaring around Qi Lin, trying to tear Qi Lin into pieces, while the frost dragon was flying against the wind. This was even more difficult for Qi Lin who was lying on the dragon's back. It's adding insult to injury.
"Damn... I have to kill this stupid lizard..."
Qi Lin held the safety rope tightly with one hand, and used a dagger to cut off all the wing membranes on his body. Without the restrictions of the wing membrane, not only would Qi Lin's body movements not be restricted, but he would also have to withstand less air resistance. will be greatly reduced.
The torn wing membranes rustled in the strong wind. Qi Lin moved forward with difficulty, and then used his beam saber to make a hole in another scale.
Taking advantage of the fact that the frost dragon completed another roll and was temporarily unable to change its posture, Qi Lin unbuckled the safety rope and buckled it on the newly drilled hole.
In this way, he moved little by little towards the frost dragon's neck.
The maximum length of the beam saber is only two meters. Even if it can penetrate the scales and skin of the frost dragon, Qi Lin cannot touch its internal organs just based on the thick cuticle and muscles on the dragon's back. He You have to climb to the front and start from the neck, where the muscle layer is relatively thin, to kill this behemoth.
The frost dragon continued to "show off" its flying skills in the blizzard. Qi Lin's movement speed could be said to be extremely slow. Sometimes he would not find a chance to move even half a meter forward for several minutes - as long as he moved slightly If he relaxed even a little bit, he would fall directly from the dragon's back. At that time, Qi Lin, who had lost his wing membrane, would be unable to stabilize his body in the air.
The injuries on his body are getting worse, and the bright red blood has soaked into the clothes he is wearing. Although the pain has gradually become numb, Qi Lin knows that this is definitely not good news - as the pain disappears, Qi Lin's body also Gradually losing control, every step he takes now takes several times longer than it did at the beginning.
"Come on, you are still six meters away from the frost dragon's neck. The muscle layer in that part is only half a meter thick. You can easily complete a throat slit with a lightsaber." The mastermind's voice said in Qi Lin's ear. , but to Qi Lin's ears, it seemed as far away as hundreds of meters away.
My consciousness has become blurred, and all the senses of my body are gradually weakening. Everything is already in extreme bad condition...
