Chapter 88: Before The Drop

"Hello David, we meet again." Phyllida smiled sweetly. Although thief seats were a few distance away from each other, he could still smell the fragrance coming off her.

Blinking his eyes, David was silent for a few seconds. His lips suddenly curled up as he smiled "Hello, Phyl."

She was a little taken aback, obviously stunned by his reply. She had expected him to resist, for just a little bit. She hadn't expected things to go quite smoothly and the idiot had even shortened her name. He is truly foolish. She thought.

At this moment, she even felt as though, he had ignored her back then so as to gain her curiosity. She snickered and her golden eyes held a tinge of disdain within.

She quickly responded "You remember me?" she asked as though that had been the main reason she had been stunned.

David looked towards her with a smirk, "Of course." Then he looked downwards toward her laps, there was a small compact backpack on it.

"I thought we weren't expected to bring anything along with us." David asked with raised eyebrow.

With a beautiful smile, Phyllida respond slyly "They didn't say it was forbidden."

As soon as she said those words, a loud voice reverberated from the surroundings, it was almost unbearable.

"Everyone, Please make sure to place in your seat hold as those without seat holds on, will all be electrocuted within 10 seconds." The voice spoke coldly but it also had a tinge of excitement within. It was as though the owner of the voice was looking forward to the students disobeying his words.

"9!"

David blinked his eyes.

"8!" The other students were perplexed.

"7!" Phyllida swiftly pivoted the soft triangular Iron shaft at the top of her seat and moved it flatly on her shoulders and chest, just like a vest.

"6!" Then she gracefully fastened the ends to the straps on the seats by her waist.

"5!" The voice was audibly excited as it continued its count.

"4!" Phyllida then looked towards David.

"3!" she raised her eyebrows with what she saw. It was unknown when, but David had already placed himself within his seat hold and resting his head. She had thought he wasn't going to listen but he did listen.

"2!" The students had already placed in their seat holds, keeping their bodies in place within the seat.

They male voice didn't even count to 1 yet, suddenly five students shook vigorously as they screamed out in pain. Electric arcs flowed from the chair to their bodies as the current passed into their bodies.

Electric arcs flashed through the air as more than a 100 joules of electricity flowed into the students and they screamed out in pain.

This shows how desperate and excited the voice in the plane was to see the students scream out in pain. They were more than five who were being but the other students gritted their teeths to hold in the pain.

It must be known that people who are stubborn are truly stubborn until the end. Even when in pain, they refused to give the voice in the Skycruiser the sense of satisfaction to see them in pain.

"Damn it! It wasn't even 10 seconds yet!" A students couldn't help but shout out loud in pain and anger. He was only teasing the owner of the voice as he could guess the owner of the voice was watching them judging by the excitement from the voice.

He had planned on put his seat hold on in the last second but who wild have expected the voice to lie? This was plain cheating!

"Hahaha! Yes! That is what I am talking about! Scream your lungs out! Hahaha!"

Although the students were screaming in pain, non of them were stupid. In fact, among the students in the institute, only 2o percent could be stupid but almost everyone was smart.

Gritting his teeth, a guy quickly swung his Iron seat hold over his head and did his straps. As soon as he did that, his body stopped shaking and he breathed in a sigh of relief.

As soon as that happened, other students also copied his movements and soon enough, there weren't any students screaming out in pain anymore..

Obviously disappointed, the voice grunted. "Just make sure to read the instructions sent to you." The voice dismissively as though it wasn't important.

But the majority of the students on board aren't stupid and had learnt their lessons. For the voice to mention reading the Instructions so dismissively, meant that it was very important and even if it wasn't, most had planned on viewing the rewards listed for each placed position in the competition anyway.

The voice grunted again in displeasure as he saw various students opening up their systems as various lights pierced through the air.

Other's can't hope to read another's hologram except if the person purposely allowed it. Since it had been programmed according to each person's Genetic codes.

David opened up his system, and he checked the Institute's homepage. Clicking on them, he saw the instructions and began to read them seriously.

But after a few seconds, he grunted as he rested his head on his seat. He was already having a headache. He honestly doesn't love to read books as far as they weren't novels, he hates them even getting stronger didn't help with that.

Frowning slightly, he ignored the feeling as he forced himself to read.

There were different things the instructions stated, which were things like be careful of this and that. David drilled past those ones but something suddenly caught his eyes.

He frowned as he had seen this word been repeated over and over and over again in various parts of the instruction page. And that word was really getting to him as his body was giving off the same wierd sensation.

The first instruction - Before the drop, make sure to select the exact position in the map in which you wish to touch down on.

The third instruction - Before the drop, it is advisable to keep circulating ones Exercising Method to be ready for any unexpected surprises.

The 7th instruction - There are various safe zones on various part of the map. Selecting one should be the priority before the drop.

Although the word came out in three instructions out of seven, but it still gave David a wierd feeling. All of a sudden, his eyes glinted as though he had though of something after that, he dropped the instruction book back into his inbox and took the map sent to him by the institute.

Buzz! Hum!

But before he could do that, there was a sudden humming sound emanating from th Sky Cruiser.

The Skycruiser rose into the air slowly but David could his body getting lighter has his shirt floated in the air.

Surprised, David blamed around and noticed that he wasn't the only one experiencing such phenomenon.

Shriek!

All of a sudden, a high-pitched piercing brird cry rang out from the Skycruiser, dazing the students with its loud sound.

The him instantaneously increased as the Skycriuser seem to vibrate intensely.

Whoosh!

Wings spread, the engine revolved, the thrusters buzzed! It flew!

By the time David and the other recovered, they were already in the air.

Phyllida shook her head, she was still feeling a bit dizzy but she had recovered. She glanced at David and saw that he was still in a daze even after most of the students already recovered. She was truly disappointed in her heart. As expected, he was truly very weak.

She had expected and had thought that he would be a challenging task to handle and he could even have the power to struggle with her for a few moves but she had to expected him to be this weak.

Then she saw David held his head with his hand as he groaned slightly.

"Are you okay?" Phyllida asked worriedly.

Glancing at her he nodded his head. "Yes, thanks for asking. That sound was truly too loud." he complained.

Phyllida's eyes was filled with disdain as she went back to her system.

Not minding her, David only smirked and also went back to his system to check on the location of the maps he would like to land in.

David was instantly taken aback. The map was a very large one and David concluded that if he were to use all of his strength to run from one end of the map to the other end without rest, it would take him at least a few months to get thereand that was if he didn't rest which was completely impossible.

Checking the map again, he saw that the map was that if a large city which was already in ruins and was infested with Evolved Monsters of various kinds and human mutants without any sentience left.

There were seven safe zones which was in the map and were coloured blue while the location coloured red was infested with Evolved Monsters.
