Chapter 91 - 91 4 High Altitude Fall Part 2

91: Chapter 4: High Altitude Fall (Part 2) 91: Chapter 4: High Altitude Fall (Part 2) “It’s no wonder they’d die, there’s no medication on the isolated island.

A mere headache could be fatal, let alone something as serious as a severed arm.” Someone in the crowd shouted angrily, only to be met with derision from the general.

“Therefore, you must fight ruthlessly to leave the small island as soon as possible.

The fastest survival record from the previous ten games is twenty-five hours.

I hope you can beat it.” The General recognized a few familiar faces in the crowd.

He waved at them, but no one responded.

They weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t risk exposing themselves in this situation.

“What are we supposed to fight with?

Hand-to-hand combat?

That would put us women at a disadvantage.” A young woman wearing a suit, office lady uniforms, white high heels, and black stockings, shouted her dissatisfaction with these harsh conditions, “This is unfair to women.”

“The weapons are in the white waist bags around your waists.

As for how to use them, you’ll have to figure it out for yourselves.

Oh, there’s also a small intelligent radar in it that can search for enemies.” The General eyed her, licking his lips, “From the moment you were stunned and brought onto the plane, the whole process has been fair.

Look, we didn’t even touch your handbag.

If you hid a dagger in it instead of clean knickers or sanitary pads, then you would have an advantage.”

Upon hearing these mocking words, the men subconsciously stared at the office lady in black stockings, looking her up and down.

“You.” The office lady’s face turned iron blue with anger, but she didn’t say anything and instead turned to talk to another woman beside her.

“Don’t worry.

Apart from the weapons in your waist bag, there’s not a single firearm to be found on the whole island.

You also don’t have to worry about anyone owning firearms or any other weapons.

All of this is for the fairness and impartiality of the game.”

“Alright, we’ve arrived at Death Island.

Now we are going to drop off the participant gamers, uh, wish you a pleasant journey!” With a gesture from the General, the hatch at the rear of the cabin opened downward and a cold rush of air immediately swept in, messing up everyone’s hair and making their clothes flap loudly.

“You don’t expect us to jump, do you?” Without thinking, the crowd moved backward, wanting to get as far away from the hatch as possible.

Tang Zheng didn’t move.

Instead, he approached the hatch, staring out at the sea and the small island, quickly calculating his chances.

“Jump quickly, you only have five minutes.

Don’t worry, your backpack will automatically open when you drop to an altitude of three thousand meters.

If you’re lucky, you’ll land safely.” The General started urging everyone, making assurances.

Yet, more than ninety-five percent of the people here had never parachuted before.

Even if they had, they probably didn’t trust their parachute to be in working order.

“Fucking hell, they’re making us jump without knowing anything about wind speed.” Lin Weiguo cursed.

He wasn’t worried about himself – even though it had been almost eight years since his last parachute training.

But, what about Tang Zheng, Qin Yan, and the others?

Just because someone said so, they were expected to parachute out.

The difficulty was too high, Lin Weiguo knew that many soldiers couldn’t manage that first leap out of the cabin.

The pressure and fear in their hearts would multiply at this point.

“Fuck it, let’s go for it, Lao Lin, Sister Qin, everyone, don’t hesitate, jump down.

If you jump first, there will be fewer people.

At least you won’t be surrounded.” After Tang Zheng yelled, he called over Li Xinlan and the others.

He stood not far from the hatch.

The cold wind blew on his face, making his skin sting.

Actually, jumping first had other advantages, but Tang Zheng couldn’t say them all.

What if others made the connection?

Lao Lin, Pang Meiqin, and Li Xinlan did not hesitate at all.

They wanted to break through the crowd to get out.

But, Bai Guo, Qin Yan, and Zhou Zhou were not so lucky.

They were too far back, with too many people crowded in front of them.

Bai Guo was sweating profusely with frustration, but couldn’t break through.

Some brave souls, after hearing Tang Zheng’s words, looked at him in surprise.

Then, upon reflection, they felt it made sense.

After all, jumping first indeed had advantages.

However, looking down from the hatch to the height of several thousand meters was enough to dispel their remaining courage to jump out.

Tang Zheng didn’t have the time to concern himself with these future enemies.

He wanted to get the stewardesses out alive.

While waiting for the next few seconds, two men jumped down.

“Hehe, interesting.” The woman with Black Long Straight hair and a white lab coat glanced at Tang Zheng and became the third to jump out of the hatch.

She was very graceful and formal.

She thought Tang Zheng was quite good, at least there were no issues with his IQ or courage.

Zhang Hao hesitated, his expression was unpredictable.

He had planned to wait a little longer, but the stern man depicted as a general on the screen cursed coldly and waved his arm.

“If you don’t take the offered drink, you will receive the punishment.

Security Team, toss them out.” Twenty soldiers raised their guns, those who were unwilling to move were shot directly.

The bullet hitting the body immediately emitted an electric current that stunned them.

Then, the security team members grabbed them by their collars and dragged them to the hatch, tossing them out as if they were discarding garbage.

Seeing the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and jumped.

He didn’t even glance at Jiaojiao.

As for the yellow-toothed man and the young man, after exchanging looks, they decided to wait a bit longer.

“Jump yourselves, or shall we toss you down?” The man seemed to enjoy their struggling expressions, “Jumping yourselves ensures a safe landing.

If you’re knocked out, it’s all down to luck.”

Forty soldiers pointed theirs guns, one aiming precisely at Tang Zheng, who was standing at the front.

“Damn it, can’t wait anymore.” Tang Zheng didn’t want to be stunned and lose control.

He glanced at Pang Meiqin, who was more than seven meters away from him, sighed, and then ran forward a few steps before jumping out of the hatch.

People were still somewhat panicked and didn’t dare to jump.

However, after the security team stunned and tossed another seven or eight people out of the hatch, those remaining started to jump out of the cabin like dumplings.

Some of the timid ones screamed, but the screams quickly turned into short sharp yelps as the rushing air forced them to close their mouths.

A scream sequence filled the high altitude, eerie and miserable.

The sound of rushing wind filled Tang Zheng’s ears, cold sweat pouring from his forehead.

His hands moved swiftly at his back, but he could not find the ripcord to open the parachute.

Watching the island below getting closer and closer, he could only pray that the man described as general wasn’t lying.

Those few brief seconds were like a nightmare that set panic in, his heart pounding, his chest almost at its limit, almost suffocating.

Tang Zheng wanted to take a few deep breaths to calm himself, but the high altitude airflow didn’t allow that.

Opening his mouth would just allow the crazy airflow inside, making it hard even to open his eyes.

With a pop, the parachute finally opened.

As Tang Zheng felt his rapidly falling body abruptly jolt and then start to descend steadily, a sense of relief that he’d escaped a great danger suddenly surged in his heart.

“Those with heart conditions might just die of fright.” Tang Zheng complained.

As he looked up at the sky, he saw the panic on the faces of the individuals jumping out of the cabin, flailing about with no plan.

Luckily, once they reached the designated altitude, their parachutes automatically opened.

The sky was filled with pure white parachutes, looking like dandelion seeds floating in the sky.

Carried by the sea breeze, three hundred and sixty participant gamers in this killing game floated toward the isolated island!
