145 Chapter - Landing On The Island (Additional Update For "Cheese Is Not Edible"!)
After entering the Station, it wasn't like Bai Cheng had imagined, similar to an Advancement Platform.
When they pushed open the door, they didn't directly arrive on the deserted island; instead, they found themselves in a small indoor space.
It was about the size of a bedroom, completely enclosed, with a single automatic vending machine standing before the only door.
Leng Ningxue looked back and reminded, "Bai Cheng, the door behind us is gone."
Clearly, the moment they entered the Station, they had no way back.
Bai Cheng looked at the door a few meters in front of her: "Opening it should directly start the mission."
The two stepped forward to immediately examine the only structure in the room, which was the automatic vending machine.
Due to the special nature of the Station, this item was clearly unusual. Bai Cheng focused her gaze and found that it only sold one type of item.
"Name: Landing Suit (includes parachute, guidance device)"
"Price: 500 unlimited coins"
"A parachute? And it's so expensive!" Bai Cheng couldn't help but complain, but a strong gust of wind suddenly assailed her, blowing her hair around her ears.
She narrowed her eyes and looked up, only to find that Leng Ningxue had already stepped forward and opened the room's only door.
Outside was a world of white and blue, with hazy clouds drifting like waves, and the sky in the distance was exceptionally blue.
The strong wind was indeed coming from outside the door, momentarily stunning both of them.
"This is ten thousand meters above sea level!"
No wonder the only vending machine only sold parachutes; it was forcing Survivors to buy them!
Leng Ningxue even poked her head out to look down. Her expression was solemn: "It's so high here that we can't see the land below at all."
Although they could use their Armored Core skills, jumping from such a height would still be impossible to survive.
"Hiss, what if a Survivor doesn't have that much money?" Bai Cheng's gaze was fixed on the horizon outside the door.
Then this Station mission would be tantamount to suicide for such a person.
"No time to lose, let's parachute down." Bai Cheng also became serious and bought two sets of Landing Suits from the automatic vending machine.
The parachutes were the ordinary kind, packed in a backpack, while the other guidance device was a small smartwatch.
Both of them put on their backpacks and tightened the buckles to ensure everything was secure.
"Ningxue, have you ever skydived?"
"I've played paragliding before, does that count?"
However, the two soon realized their worries were unnecessary. Since they had purchased the Landing Suits from the vending machine, the system would surely ensure their safe landing.
After the guidance device was worn on their wrists like a watch, a vibration came, and several lines of information immediately appeared on the small screen.
"Guidance Device will provide you with key information inside the Station at any time!"
"Landing Suit: Once equipped, the parachute will automatically open during the descent. Please be bold and rest assured!"
"(100/100) All channel Survivors are in place. Everyone, please prepare to meet the challenge!"
"There are a hundred channels participating, so the number of people must be several hundred."
Bai Cheng's brows furrowed. At this point, there would be no lone wolf Survivors.
"This Station mission is exceptionally cruel," Leng Ningxue also said, looking at the information on her wrist.
"It's okay, we will definitely win!" Bai Cheng cheered.
Then she started fiddling with the device on her wrist again, only to find that besides this information, there was nothing else; even the small screen was completely inoperable.
"Besides displaying information, this thing has no other use?" Bai Cheng pouted, "I thought it could display time like a watch."
"And the information provided is too little. I'm afraid it won't prompt further rules until we reach the isolated island," Leng Ningxue analyzed.
But having it was better than not having it.
There was nothing useful left here, and the device's prompt was also very clear: all Survivors were now in place, and they didn't intend to waste any more time.
Bai Cheng and Leng °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° Ningxue stood side by side at the door with their backpacks. The strong wind that assailed them no longer carried the heat of the Lava Volcano, but instead a cool freshness.
The two exchanged glances.
"Afraid of heights?"
"A little."
Bai Cheng held Leng Ningxue's hand: "Then I'll count to three, and we jump together."
Leng Ningxue's hand also tightened slightly, clearly a bit nervous. She nodded, "Okay."
"Three!"
The next second, Bai Cheng leaped down, pulling Leng Ningxue directly from the doorway with her.
A strong sense of weightlessness hit them, and the two began to freefall uncontrollably.
The strong wind cut like knives, making them both ache. Their originally loose clothes were now pressed tightly against their skin, becoming form-fitting.
The wind noise in their ears was deafening. Because they had no protective gear or helmets, Bai Cheng and Leng Ningxue couldn't even open their eyes at this moment.
After an unknown amount of time, a huge pulling force suddenly dragged at their shoulders and waists, causing their bodies to momentarily stiffen in the air.
With a 'bang,' both of their parachutes opened.
Bai Cheng quickly opened her eyes and found Leng Ningxue not far from her, safe and sound.
At this moment, she also realized that they had already descended below the clouds. Looking out, they could now see the isolated island, standing in the middle of the ocean, beneath their feet.
As the two slowly descended, the isolated island became increasingly clear.
The island was composed of three smaller islands of different sizes, connected by bridges, forming an irregular circle overall.
From an aerial view, it was entirely dark green, with various trees, vegetation, and weeds growing profusely, yet at regular intervals, there were clusters of houses, with roads crisscrossing between them.
Bai Cheng also noticed that their current landing position was on the smallest of the three islands, located at the edge of the entire isolated island.
"There are strong traces of human activity here, as if people really lived here once..."
Bai Cheng's gaze sharpened, but she knew very well that this was an isolated island, and besides the Survivors descending, no one else would be present.
"Bai Cheng, look over there!" At this moment, Leng Ningxue suddenly shouted from beside her.
Bai Cheng instantly snapped back to attention and looked up in the direction her companion was pointing.
Not far away, a Survivor appeared diagonally above them. He was head-down and feet-up, in a diving posture, his body straight, rapidly plummeting towards the ground.
Clearly, he had jumped off the isolated island after them, but he was quickly catching up.
It was then that Bai Cheng was shocked to realize that the guy had no parachute on his back!
"Did he not have enough money for the Landing Suit and decided to try his luck with the landing...?"
But how was that different from seeking death?
But the next second, just as his figure was almost level with Bai Cheng and Leng Ningxue, he suddenly twisted his body in mid-air, directly changing his posture, and even his descent speed began to slow down.
No, not slowing down, he was hovering in mid-air!
The man, of course, noticed Bai Cheng and Leng Ningxue. He turned his gaze towards them, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't expect to take care of two before even landing!"
Leng Ningxue, beside her, urgently shouted.
"Bai Cheng, he's flying towards us!"
