Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Qi Feiluan was much calmer than the excited Zhou Jingyou. He said without looking back: “Drive the car, Ji Taizhen’s people will follow the ruts and chase them soon. We have to be fast.”

“Yes.” Zhou Jingyou restrained his overly excited emotions and accelerated towards the space port.

After arriving at the spaceport, Qi Feiluan led people straight to another spacecraft, and the employees waiting outside the spacecraft immediately gathered around him.

Qi Feiluan had previously injured Zhao Shixuan, the captain of the Hongtong Second Team, and then asked Xu Ruifeng to temporarily take over the captain’s position. The Hongtong Second Team was responsible for the escort and handover of important supplies within the capital.

Qi Feiluan asked his confidant Xu Ruifeng to temporarily take over the second team with the idea of ​​infiltrating his subordinates into the transportation line.

The people who came to meet him this time were the first batch of people placed on the transportation line by Xu Ruifeng.

They quickly helped Qi Feiluan and the others clear the ruts behind them, hid the approaching vehicles, and brought them a full set of work clothes and work permits.

Qi Feiluan and others immediately transformed and became the staff of the spacecraft.

Zhao Shixuan’s father, Mr. Zhao, is the tycoon who controls the Ji family’s transportation industry, and this spaceship is also under the Zhao family’s name.

As Mr. Zhao, one of the elders working for the Ji family, it would be difficult for Ji Taizhen to thoroughly investigate the spacecraft without clear evidence, let alone prevent it from taking off.

The crystal mines on the planet are related to the energy security of the earth, and the forces on the transportation line are even more intertwined. Ji Taizhen himself is not on the planet, and with the energy of those at the top of the base, there is no way to shut down the spaceport.

Qi Feiluan and others only need to wait for the spacecraft under Mr. Zhao’s name to take off, and they can truly leave the planet, return to the earth, and completely complete the mission.

Qi Feiluan put on new work clothes, stood outside the huge transport spacecraft, looked at the direction they came from, and slowly exhaled.

The white mist was blown away by the cold wind, and when I inhaled, the biting cold wind on the planet penetrated my heart.

At a glance, apart from the barren snowfields, there are endless mountains. The mountains made of gray-black rocks are also covered in snow. Only the protruding ridges or rugged giant rocks can struggle to make some gray-black traces in this barren white.

Such a desolate and cold planet can give birth to bright crystal mines and strange giant beasts.

Standing on this planet again, and the experience of almost running into a crystal beast just now, Qi Feiluan inevitably recalled a danger he encountered when he was 17 years old when he came here to train.

At that time, Qi Feiluan had just stabilized his differentiation, and hurried to the planet to meet up with Ji Xingyuan, who had arrived there earlier.

In addition to cultural classes, the school that Ji Xingyuan and Qi Feiluan attended also included various trainings. The most important part of the training needed to be completed on the planet. The purpose was to enable them to have the ability to protect themselves and at the same time have certain experience and on-the-spot knowledge of planetary exploration.

Technology is developing rapidly. Apart from this mineral star, humans will find and develop more planets sooner or later. Every valuable planet represents a vast number of opportunities.

It can now be said that we are gradually entering a new “Age of Discovery”, so heirs like Ji Xingyuan will also be sent to planets for certain training.

After Qi Feiluan arrived at the planet, he continued training with Ji Xingyuan.

When he was still on Earth, Qi Feiluan didn’t realize what it meant to differentiate into a Beta until he came to a planet with a harsh natural environment for intense training.

He completed the same training intensity with great difficulty, and his condition and recovery speed after completion were not as good as Alpha’s. He needed longer sleep and rest to relieve fatigue and regain energy.

In the fight with Alpha, even though he can defeat Alpha, it is often because his fighting skills are better than the opponent, and as the winner, he is injured more seriously.

In a one-on-one, open-ended fight like fighting, Alpha’s advantage in strength and weight made Qi Feiluan suffer a lot.

That feeling was extremely frustrating. He needed to conceive of various techniques to fight the enemy, carefully pinpoint the opponent’s loopholes, and try to defeat the enemy with one blow.But Alpha only needs to rely on higher muscle strength to withstand most of his blows, and in turn easily suppress him.

At that time, Qi Feiluan always had a youthful air, unwilling to believe that people who were originally evenly matched would distance themselves just because of their race, but the truth is often so cruel.

Even though Qi Feiluan was already considered the top among the Betas, the Alphas trained on the planet were also elites held up by the major forces, and he became the “weak” among them.

It is the nature of almost all animals to bully the strong, and Alpha retains more of its animal nature than Beta and Omega.

Because those Alphas were afraid of Ji Xingyuan, they did not dare to blatantly target Qi Feiluan, but the eyes they looked at him and the tone they spoke to him were full of disdain that could not be concealed.

Until one training session, the instructors asked them to cross the mountains and reach the other side. They only brought limited supplies. The test was their ability to travel and their ability to withstand extreme environments.

At that time, their departure was going very smoothly. They moved forward steadily according to the plan, but they encountered an accident midway. They ran into a crystal beast without a vehicle.

There are no formed crystal mines on this side of the mountains, but crystals are occasionally embedded in the mountains. The crystal beast that suddenly appeared was smaller in size. It is probably because of this that it was unable to capture the crystal beasts in the mining area and was squeezed to this side of the mountains.

Ji Xingyuan was the first to notice the crystal beast, and immediately gestured for them to stop. When he found that it had not been disturbed, he signaled them to move more gently and change the route.

They were wearing white combat uniforms, and most of the surrounding mountains were covered with snow. It was entirely possible to avoid them without disturbing them.

But just as they were withdrawing, someone in the team slipped, and the rocks beneath the snow they stepped on came loose and rolled down the hillside, causing a series of commotions.

The crystal beast suddenly turned back to look in their direction, roared and rushed towards them on the hillside.

Ji Xingyuan pushed Qi Feiluan hard to let him go first, then he raised his gun and pointed it at the crystal beast and pulled the trigger.

They used firepower to cover each other and retreated to a depression on the hillside. They briefly escaped from the crystal beast’s sight with the help of the surrounding rocks.

But the problem is that they are stuck here.

The crystal beast lives on crystal stones, and they have no way of predicting when the crystal beast will leave to look for food due to hunger. Their previous attack with guns caused a certain amount of damage to the crystal beast, which has angered it.

At that time, some of them suggested giving up the training and informing the instructors that they were coming to rescue them. After all, they were all elites, and it would be a pity to lose their lives in vain at the mouth of the crystal beast.

An Alpha, whose name Qi Feiluan could no longer remember, retorted quite excitedly: “If we let them rescue us, they would laugh at us to death, and they would definitely say nonsense like, ‘It’s still Alpha who pissed himself off and asked for rescue when he saw a little crystal beast that should go to kindergarten.'”

“Damn it, if your feet weren’t slippery, would we have alerted it?”

“It doesn’t matter if someone makes a mistake. We also have a Beta drag bottle in our team. If it weren’t for this Beta, would our movement speed be slowed down? We wouldn’t be able to run at all?”

“It’s useless for a Beta to train with us…”

Amidst his noisy voice, Ji Xingyuan looked at the environment outside to make sure that the snow here would not cause an avalanche.Then without saying a word, he pulled open the backpack he was carrying, revealing a section of the shoulder-resistant rocket launcher. He quickly found a suitable launch position, loaded ammunition, automatically locked the target, and launched, all in one go.

The flying ammunition accurately hit the slightly smaller crystal beast, and an explosion sounded, killing it on the spot.

Ji Xingyuan stood up, turned around and threw the launch tube aside, held the muzzle of his gun against the arrogant Alpha, and said in a cold voice: “Can you use your farts here to get cannonballs? Can you kill the crystal beast?”

“The terrain on the mountain range is complex and there is ice and snow, so it is inevitable to lose your footing.”

“As for Beta, what happened to Beta? What happened to Alpha? A crystal beast is so powerful that it will be blown to pieces even if it is hit by a high-explosive bomb. After all, you, an Alpha, are not as powerful as a crystal beast. I don’t force you to take one shell. How about just bullets?”

Ji Xingyuan suddenly approached the Alpha, his sinister expression frightened everyone present.

“If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will give you a box of bullets right now, then throw your body together with the crystal beast’s, and go back and tell the instructor that you were unfortunately killed by a crystal beast.”

“You!”

The Alpha gritted his teeth and didn’t dare to say anything when he was held at gunpoint.

The other Alphas didn’t think about stopping or provoking a fight. They didn’t expect that Ji Xingyuan was actually carrying a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

You must know that each of them has a limit to the weight they can carry. Carrying too much weight will consume a lot of their physical strength.In addition, there is no grass in this snowy field. Within their own limited load, the first thing they carry must be food and other necessities for survival.

Therefore, the load left on their weapons was correspondingly reduced, and after all, the mountains were not the main haunt of crystal beasts. They only carried lighter guns and no heavy weapons.

But Ji Xingyuan actually carried high-explosive ammunition and a shoulder-resistant rocket launcher. This not only meant that he was physically stronger than them, but also that he was better than them in predicting the situation and the possibility of encountering a crisis.

Alpha is the most powerful, and Ji Xingyuan is very capable and has also defeated the Crystal Beast, so they don’t care at all what the Alpha who is being held at gunpoint thinks, and they won’t go to rescue him.

Whoever is stronger has more say.

At this point, almost all Alphas have reached a consensus.

Ji Xingyuan saw that Alpha closed his mouth, moved his gun, and said to Qi Feiluan: “You don’t have to think about the difference between Alpha and Beta. Compared with crystal beasts, human flesh and blood is fragile after all. But now we are not reduced to the rations of crystal beasts, but we hunt crystal beasts.”

“The advancement of science and technology is to free us from physical limitations, so that we can occupy the upper reaches of the food chain without being physically stronger than other species.”

“Next time you meet an Alpha who despises you, give them a box of bullets first. Since they can’t learn to talk to you as an equal, then help them learn what equality means.”
