Chapter 1059: Ten Thousand Meter Descent

Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: Ten Thousand Meter Descent

The method of entry into the instance this time was exceedingly violent; the destination of the spatial passage was unknown, but the exit was positioned in mid-air. Thus, Xu Huo and the others were thrown out into the fierce airstream, the intense feeling of weightlessness leaving them completely disoriented for a moment. After acclimating for a few seconds, a massive surge of building debris tumbled down from behind them—initially, there was a certain distance between them and these structures. However, they each used a prop to save themselves as soon as they exited the spatial passage, slowing their descent, and were quickly caught up by the falling rubble.

Among the three Rank-B props that Xu Huo obtained from Wei Yu and the others, one was a parachute. The chair prop that guarantees a safe landing from any height was lost in Base W37 City. In this situation, the piano strings, the Balloon String, or the shoes on his feet were not very practical. He was also holding a child, so the parachute was the most suitable... But just like the other Players, after the high-altitude drop prop was deployed, they were hit by the subsequent barrage of building debris. Even the larger props couldn’t be unfolded in this situation, and he had to avoid the buildings hurtling down like meteorites while falling!

"Help...!" Xu Huo utilized the Balloon String to climb onto a falling piece of wreckage while dodging strong winds. A civilian from District 002 was sent flying by an exploding balloon, quickly passing by them without even managing to shout "save me" before disappearing below!

Of course, Xu Huo was not safe either. From what he could see, at least a whole building was dragged in through the spatial passage—it was a residential building. Although homes in District 002 had largely eliminated open flames, electronic devices posed an equal threat, not to mention the energy reserves almost every household had for dealing with power outages. These objects exploded one after another upon collision, making the entire falling environment even more perilous.

Looking around, Chi Minghong and members of the Holy Sword Society, who entered before him, were nowhere to be seen. Just seconds ago, they were attempting to return to the spatial passage via the descending buildings, but in the blink of an eye, they were engulfed in explosions.

The "Unassailable Territory" was repeatedly triggered around him. Xu Huo, clutching the boy, leaped to relatively safer spots while dodging large chunks of debris flying in all directions. The entire fall lasted less than half a minute, and he witnessed countless people—children and babies among them—screaming as they plummeted.

"Save me! Save us!" A couple covered in blood knelt on a shaking metal slab, desperately shouting for help. Upon seeing Xu Huo, who had landed nearby holding a child, they cried even louder, "Please, save our child!"

The couple, trapped in metal chains, dared not move much—the woman had a baby tied to her chest, while the man laid there, continually kowtowing toward Xu Huo, imploring him to save their child.

Xu Huo estimated the distance between them, moved over with the piano strings, took the child from the woman, and then leapt toward the edge of the debris. When he looked back, he still saw the couple’s tears of gratitude, but in the next second, they were crushed by the relentless onslaught of debris—not even a trace of blood splattered.

Nearby, some were lucky enough to have been enclosed in a more sheltered space upon falling or entangled in objects attached to the buildings, temporarily surviving. Seeing Xu Huo rescuing a baby, they continued to plead desperately for help.

After saving two more children with the "World in the Painting," Xu Huo bypassed the other people pleading for help and quickly moved to the edge of the wreckage. However, looking down, he realized there was still some distance to the dark ground below.

Based on the timing, the height of the spatial passage was likely close to ten thousand meters. Falling from ten thousand meters, if you were lucky, you might descend in about three minutes—the less fortunate would come down in two and a half. At such speeds, even he had to repeatedly use props to mitigate the impact and reduce the height of the fall to lessen the potential damage upon landing, let alone the physical condition of ordinary people. Even if they could be temporarily rescued, they would be doomed upon hitting the ground.

Saving a few children was already his limit.

He had considered using "Forced Levitation" to put people in a state of weightlessness, but the prop has a time limit, nowhere near the duration of the fall. Even if it was activated just one second before landing, the prop’s protective layer was insufficient to offset the force of impact—the person would still die. Thus, this method was no good either. As for the other props like the piano strings and Balloon String, they had their load-bearing limits and couldn’t save more people.

After the wind subsided, Xu Huo felt the air becoming somewhat sticky. From the beginning of their entry into this space, the sky was filled with the pre-storm dimness of the peak summer rain, the visibility dusky and unclear. Moreover, the closer they got to the ground, the darker it seemed, now to the point where it felt like thick dust sticking to the skin.

His anti-poison mask was made only for adults; the boy could barely squeeze into it, but the baby couldn’t. Therefore, he tied the boy onto his back, wrapped the baby with clothing in his arms, and said, "Hold on to the child, help him press down on the mask."

After such a major impact, the boy barely remained calm and did as Xu Huo said, pressing the anti-poison mask firmly onto the baby’s face.

They were now fast approaching the ground, which was covered by a forest. Xu Huo was ready to land when he suddenly realized that a considerable number of people were still alive behind him—yes, at least fifty. They were half-floating in mid-air, pausing momentarily before descending rapidly, trembling and trembling as they neared the ground.

Among them was Guan Shu, who must have used a prop to save this group of people!

"Boom!"

The first buildings to land crashed into the forest with a tremendous noise, scaring away birds and beasts while flattening a vast number of trees. The debris from a building was enough to bury the entire forest. It was clear that it was already challenging for Guan Shu to manage even just those few dozen people, let alone move them before the approaching "Storm" of debris.

It was difficult, but You Xuewen and the others hadn’t scattered very far. During this process, they used rope-like props to tie these people into groups. As long as they could pull people out before they hit the ground, most of them could be saved.

"Use the props to pull people away!" Guan Shu threw a metal box to You Xuewen, who fitted the box onto the prop rope and cast it forward. The box, with its own kinetic energy, dragged the people tethered behind it out of the crashing area. Meanwhile, Guan Shu and others stayed behind to clear the splattering debris.

Xu Huo turned back to help, and Guan Shu and his team gave him a nod from a distance. They all shielded and retreated together, quickly moving away from danger. The people who were pulled out by the prop didn’t have a high fall, and most of them weren’t seriously injured. However, two were unlucky enough to have their necks broken. In the end, fifty-one people survived.
