Chapter 279: Chapter 5: The Last Man of the East Sea_2 Chapter 279: Chapter 5: The Last Man of the East Sea_2 “Ah Zhuang!”

Lin Xian greeted him enthusiastically.

Ah Zhuang, who was shorter than Lin Xian but muscular, shifted his gaze from the sky and sized up Lin Xian:

“Who are you?”

“That’s not important.” Lin Xian smiled and patted his shoulder, not feeling out of place despite the numerous encounters:

“Where’s Brother Lian?

Where is he?”

When Ah Zhuang heard the name Brother Lian come from Lin Xian’s mouth...

his expression eased a lot.

Looking at Lin Xian’s confident and familiar demeanor, Ah Zhuang assumed that he must be a friend of Brother Lian and let down his guard, pointing at the hot air balloon that had already risen hundreds of meters into the air:

“You’re late, Brother Lian has already taken off.”

???

Lin Xian incredulously tilted his head, looking up at the rapidly ascending hot air balloon:

“The person in the spacesuit up there is Brother Lian?

...

Big Face Cat?”

“Ah, who else?”

“Is he heading for Rhine Sky City?”

“Of course.”

Ah Zhuang glanced at Lin Xian and continued:

“You must know all this since you’re here, right?

Just watch closely.”

With that, he stopped paying attention to Lin Xian and looked up at the sky:

“Ah...

I hope Brother Lian can make it this time, otherwise...”

He bit his lip and did not continue.

Lin Xian looked at Ah Zhuang, puzzled.

All geared up like that, what danger could there be?

Forget it, he decided not to ask for now, quietly watching Big Face Cat’s performance.

Today, it was purely because he had been delayed and did not catch Big Face Cat’s hot air balloon.

If Big Face Cat did manage to land on Rhine Sky City, then he would just have to come earlier tomorrow and hitch a ride.

only then can you land safely in Sky City.”

This...

Lin Xian blinked, in disbelief.

What kind of insane plan is this?

Riding a helium balloon to an altitude of twenty thousand meters, and then skydive gliding?

This freaking operation, even in “Ultimate Kingdom,” you wouldn’t dare to play like this!

Thinking it over, no wonder Big Face Cat was fully suited up in a sealed spacesuit.

Because at twenty thousand meters, the temperature is definitely below minus thirty degrees Celsius, and if you’re not dressed warmly, you would freeze to death in the bitter cold wind.

After all, he wasn’t just going to stay there; he’d be facing the wind, jumping in a free fall.

Moreover, the air pressure at twenty thousand meters is only one-fifth of what it is at sea level, and the oxygen content is far too low to breathe.

It’s no wonder that on Big Face Cat’s back, there must also be oxygen tanks and other pressurized oxygen supply devices.

“That’s crazy.”

Lin Xian exclaimed earnestly.

Even though he had died countless times in his dreams and had experienced many extreme sports that came close to death, there’s a difference between courting death and seeking it outright.

In his dreams, he had challenged skydiving from a maximum height of eight thousand meters, many times ending up as a pancake due to various issues.

Often, he’d even pass out during the free-fall.

Eight thousand meters was already so difficult.

And yet, Big Face Cat was planning to jump from an altitude of twenty thousand meters, then free-fall glide to target the only gap in the defense system, dive, and open the parachute in time for a controlled descent.

Such an extremely dangerous challenge, any slight mistake could be fatal!

What are you doing, Big Face Cat...

Lin Xian sighed.

You’re just a Big Face Cat, not Batman, what are these feats for?

Do you have a death wish?

“How can you be sure there’s a blind spot in the middle of Rhine Sky City?”

“Because someone has been in there.”

Ah Zhuang said softly:

“Although...

it was only once, and they ultimately failed.

But we did see him get in.”

“Is there only this one way to enter Rhine Sky City?” Lin Xian asked:
