Chapter 452: 435: Safe Passage?
Translator: 549690339
On the small platform of the cliff, William set down his telescope and sighed quietly.
In such a short period of time, the first squadron of the Air Force Death Squad had been completely annihilated.
This is not to say that they all died, there were still a few players who survived by successfully forced landings onto the sea surface, struggling to climb onto the raft or swim to the coast.
But as far as the Air Force was concerned, this squadron no longer existed.
This was within William’s expectations: Wing suit flights had a very short duration of hang-time.
Even on the seaside, the gentle sea breeze could slightly increase the hang-time, but this increase was negligible.
Even though he understood this fact, seeing the densely packed members of the Death Squad dying and disappearing in quick succession, he still felt a sigh of sorrow.
Luckily, the sacrifice of these people was not in vain, and the effect had become immediately apparent——
When the Air Force intruded into the airspace where the Pterosaur flock was located, the flock reacted as if they had been provoked. Despite being near the rafts on the sea surface, they turned around to attack the players who descended from the sky.
In that brief period of time, the raft had indeed obtained a precious safe space!
Now that the effectiveness had been verified, there was nothing more to say——
“Change flight mode! The second and third squadrons, divide into groups of 100 and take off one by one! Pay attention to the angle of entry, don’t charge directly into the center of the Pterosaur flock, cut in from the edges, try to cut in from a higher position!”
“Start grouping now, hurry up, don’t waste time!”
Out of a cautious mindset, William did not disperse all the squadrons, but retained the fourth squadron for contingencies.
Above the sea surface, the raft containing Camille Victoria and Shuihua also faced the biggest crisis——
“Speed up! Speed up! Run faster!” Camille Victoria anxiously shouted as she twisted her head back and forth, looking at both sides of the raft.
On their left side, a Large Helicoprion had bitten the last player on the raft to death, but it didn’t instantly dive under the water. Instead, it skimmed across the surface of the water, making a beeline for them.
At the same time, on the other side of the raft, an adult Spiral-toothed Shark had finally cracked the sturdy raft, pushing the gradually sinking raft towards them!
At this critical moment, the players on the raft ahead seemed to be messing around. They didn’t even seem to need weapons, let alone holding their paddles. They just fiddled around with their headphones!
Shuihua withdrew her gaze, her lips pressed tight as she clenched the spear in her hand, aiming its tip at the huge creature that was rapidly approaching.
She didn’t know that the underwater behemoth was called a Large Helicoprion, she knew this: the spear in her hand, even if jabbed it in, would not work. The raft would definitely not withstand the impact.
However, Shuihua made up her mind: even if the ship really sank, she would give it one last hard poke before sinking!
I am not confident with a gun, but at this close range with such a large target, could I possibly miss with my spear?!
Shuihua estimated the distance, quietly counting down to herself: “5, 4, 3, 2...”
“Ah!!!!”
Suddenly, the bunch of people on the raft around three meters ahead, shouted out loud without warning.
The sudden shout scared Shuihua, causing her to jump. She subconsciously turned her head to see what was going on, and then——
“Ahhhhh——” Shuihua suddenly screamed out loud!
Because a super intense flash bomb had suddenly exploded in front of her eyes!
Accompanying it, was a chilling, sharp wail that seemed to merge the screams of five people together. It seemed to sound simultaneously, yet they were slightly out of sync, creating an echoing effect.
It felt like it could pierce right through one’s skull!
Shuihua, while screaming, still remembered what she was about to do a moment ago. With one hand covering her head and the other relying on her memory, she indiscriminately raised her spear and stabbed it towards the direction from which the Large Helicoprion was charging!Findd new stories at novelhall.com
At the other end of the raft, Camille Victoria, who was also constantly screaming “Ahhhh”, randomly jabbed towards the direction from which the Spiral-toothed Shark was charging.
But both of them jabbed into thin air!
Whether it was the Large Helicoprion or the Spiral-toothed Shark, both of them seemed to have been struck by a heavy hammer. They hesitated for a moment, then immediately dived down and turned tail to run without any hesitation.
Even the Pterosaurs in the sky started to wobble away from this place.
Two Pterosaurs that flew too close even fell clumsily into the sea. The nearby players immediately pounced on them to finish them off.
“Awesome! It works!”
“Just a bit too powerful.”
“Yes! Too strong!”
“Enough talk, let’s go!”
“Charge, charge, charge!!”
And so, the raft finally began to speed up.
All sea creatures, whether flying or swimming, backed off on their own.
But they neglected one thing – the threat around Dinosaur Island is not just from creatures.
They didn’t get far before their raft got stuck.
They hit a reef.
The players’ raft wasn’t lightweight, floating entirely on the water’s surface. It was partially submerged.
Even the shallow water line for wingsuit landing around Dinosaur Island might hit reefs, causing body collisions and breaking into pieces – thus indicating how close underwater reefs near the shore could be.
Why were their original waters landing locations for wingsuit chosen far from the shore?
Wasn’t it to avoid reefs!
If there were no disruptions, and they were cautious, they could avoid them.
However, with everyone wearing double-layered sunglasses and the fierce light of the Bathing Lady Table Lamp, they couldn’t see clearly. Hitting a reef was inevitable.
They had to stop and sink all the lamps into the water in an attempt to communicate.
But immediately, several pterosaurs saw the opportunity and swooped down together!
Frightened, they quickly raised the lamps up again.
The pterosaurs immediately turned and ran away.
Seeing the effectiveness of the flash bombs, the person holding the Bathing Lady Table Lamp was immediately excited and dunked the lamp into the water again.
Almost instantly, a total of six pterosaurs swooped down together!
He stopped his teammates from acting, until the pterosaurs were only five to six meters away, and then he quickly raised the lamp again.
The pterosaurs let out a tragic scream and turned to flee.
But, only five of them returned to the sky while the other one flew in disorientation and fell into the water.
“Hahaha.”
This brother seemed to have found something fun and dunked the lamp into the water while laughing hysterically.
The pterosaurs appeared to be provoked, and this time, a full 10 of them swooped down directly!
As the brother raised the Bathing Lady Table Lamp, and once again faced the sudden burst of light and sound, the pterosaurs had no choice but to flee in panic.
Two of them even collided with the water because they were too close and could not control themselves, and they were surrounded and eaten by the Helicoprion.
As soon as the escaping pterosaurs left, the light disappeared again...
They returned, and the light came back on!
They fled, and the light disappeared!
This repeated over and over.
This group didn’t even bother to save the raft, they just played with catching pterosaurs...
Camille Victoria, who was closely following behind, was left speechless state seeing the intermittent flashes of light not far ahead, like a blinking lamp.
Shuihua, however, watched with fascination and quickly thought of a special possibility –
“Could we use this item to draw a safe route on the surface of the sea?”
