Chapter 38 - The World Is in Turmoil

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A huge shadow flashed across the plane’s window.

This scene felt very familiar. 

It made Su Chen think about Boyang Lake.

The sea beast almost sank the ship.

Now, this big bird almost crashed the plane.

Su Chen did not want to get entangled with the bird.

He instantly lowered the plane’s altitude.

‘I don’t have time to play with you now. 

‘It’s better if I just hide.’

The plane descended into the thick clouds.

‘This should do it. The clouds will cover up the plane.’

Su Chen looked out of the window.

The big bird seemed to be gone.

He thought that he had gotten rid of it.

They might come across thunderstorms in the thick clouds, but it was much safer than facing the bird head-on.

In fact, it could probably destroy the plane at any time.

Suddenly, there was a bolt of lightning.

“Ka-boom!”

A loud thunder followed.

That scared the assistant so much that he jumped up.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

He panicked and looked out of the window.

Professor Qin also woke up and he was shocked.

It felt like the world had turned upside down. 

The professor turned his head and looked at Su Chen.

He was completely calm. 

This made the former feel reassured,

“Don’t worry. Just sit down.”

Professor Qin berated his assistant.

The scenery outside was cloudy

There were also thunderstorms.

This caused the plane to bump up and down.

“Fasten your seatbelts. We’ll be fine once we pass through the thunderstorm!” said Su Chen.

The plane continued to fly through the clouds.

Their current situation made the regular plane feel like a fighter plane.

Su Chen dodged the thunderbolts one by one by piloting the plane up and down.

“Slow down!”

The assistant was scared out of his wits.

His professional knowledge could not help him in this situation.

Professor Qin stayed silent.

He just held the handle tightly with a solemn expression.

Although he was also scared, he could not show it because Su Chen was as cool as a cucumber. 

So, he just had to maintain a straight face.

Shortly after, they could see the shining sun.

The plane had successfully gotten through the thunderstorms.

They were safe.

“Wow!”

The assistant was no longer afraid. 

He became lively again and cheered, “We did it!”

“In two hours, we’ll land at Salt Lake City Airport,” said Su Chen.

Then, he looked ahead.

There was a vast desert. 

All he could see was a few buildings. 

That should be Salt Lake City.

Su Chen gradually reduced the altitude of the plane.

It was about to land.

“Dun!”

They landed safely at Salt Lake City Airport.

Su Chen took another look at the scenery outside the window.

‘Sunken ship in the desert, I’ve come to unveil your mystery.’

…

After leaving the airport, Su Chen and Professor Qin parted.

The professor and his assistant went to find a place to stay while Su Chen went to find a car from the rental shop.

Su Chen saw a lot of SUVs parked in the parking lot opposite the airport.

They were very suitable for such an environment.

Soon, Su Chen arrived at the largest car rental shop.

There were not many customers.

After taking a quick glance around the place, Su Chen spotted a group that consisted of three people.

It seemed like they were discussing something.

Su Chen got a little closer to them.

These folks looked very familiar.

All of a sudden, he remembered.

They were the same people from the grocery shop.

If Su Chen was not mistaken, they also bought desert-related equipment.

It’s clear that they were after the gold in the sunken ship.

“Hey, look at this video. This person jumped down from a building. It seems like he could fly.”

One of the brawny men exclaimed to the other two.

“Really? Let me see. How can a person fly?”

A short man snatched the brawny man’s phone.

“D*mn, are you kidding me? Why can’t I play this video? F*ck!”

Unfortunately for the short man, he was unable to watch the video.

“That’s impossible. It was fine just a minute ago.”

The brawny man took back his phone. He was equally puzzled.

“Hey, look at this person jumping into lava. He can even swim in it!”

The brawny man exclaimed again.

Once more, the short man grabbed the brawny man’s phone and took a look.

However, the same thing happened.

The short man could not play the video and he got annoyed. 

“Are you teasing me?”

He raised his hand to hit the brawny man.

Suddenly, a news report interrupted them.

“According to reports, there have been many cases of theft. Most items in vending machines were stolen. However, the machines were not damaged at all. Based on surveillance footage, the thief just placed his hand on the vending machines. Then, the contents just automatically popped out. The police have launched a multi-party investigation on this matter.”

The three burly men watched the news with their mouths agape.

One of them even cracked a joke.

“Where can we buy this kind of skill?”

Unexpectedly, a line of subtitles appeared on the television.

[ The previous news is pure fiction. If there are similarities to anything, it’s purely a coincidence. ]

The three men looked at each other.

This was the first time the news station had pulled such a stunt.

Su Chen also heard everything.

The world had begun to change, but there was a mysterious force trying to suppress it.

Out of nowhere, Su Chen’s phone rang. 

Su Chen frowned as he picked up the call..
