Ban Shi Wu Gui

Chapter 815 A Hasty Retreat

After Long Qian left Yeren Mountain by helicopter, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Even though Shen Feng was very strong, it was difficult for Shen Feng to attack him while flying. However, Long Qian did not expect it to start snowing at this time.

Snowfall seriously interferes with flying, especially for helicopters. Under the dense snowflakes, the pilot's vision is affected.

Long Qian could only pray that the snowflakes would not affect the pilot too much. As for whether this prayer would be answered by God, it was hard to say.

As a result, while Long Qian was praying, a fierce wind carrying a blizzard descended. Now the pilot could only stare at the radar. Beijing was no longer the most reliable means; in a blizzard, it was much better to rely on radar.

However, at this moment, both helicopters detected unidentified flying objects appearing from the sides, and there were many of them. After discovering this, the helicopters quickly dodged, heading towards the central area. Unexpectedly, the helicopter rotors collided, and they were damaged to varying degrees.

At this time, the people on the anti-helicopter also discovered what the numerous things flying past the sides of the helicopters were. They were actually birds, all mutated birds, mostly sparrows and thrushes.

Near the airport, birds are usually driven away because airplanes flying at high speeds are most afraid of birds. Interference from birds during takeoff and landing is the most serious. Therefore, electromagnetic waves are emitted around the airport to disperse birds. The sudden appearance of mutated birds at this time caused the two helicopters to collide slightly, and this collision resulted in the helicopters falling downwards.

The pilot was trying his best to maintain the helicopter's balance, but the damaged blades and the inability of the propeller to provide stable flight power forced him to turn to the crowd and say, "Everyone, get ready. If the helicopter can't maintain stability, prepare to jump. The current altitude is only over thirty meters. If we're lucky enough to land on trees, we might survive."

"Don't you have parachutes?" a soldier couldn't help but ask.

"Parachutes?" The pilot was speechless upon hearing this. "Thirty meters high, jumping down from here, the parachute won't even have time to open before we crash to death. What's the use of a parachute? Hurry up and open the cabin door. Once the helicopter loses control, I'll tell you to jump."

Airplanes usually have parachutes, especially large passenger planes that fly into the stratosphere tens of thousands of meters high. If pursued, they would be smashed to pieces. Falling from such a height would provide enough time to open the parachute. However, the helicopter was only thirty meters above the ground at this moment. At such a low altitude, there wouldn't be enough time to open the parachute before crashing. At this point, looking for a parachute was useless.

After the pilot explained the current situation, everyone was speechless. Jumping from thirty meters high, even if they didn't die from the fall, would inevitably result in broken bones. Now, with the blizzard arriving and no supplies in the mountains, how would they survive?

However, the helicopter's shaking became more and more obvious, and its altitude above the ground was further decreasing. Seeing the situation, the pilot knew the helicopter could no longer be stabilized and shouted, "Jump!"

A group of people then jumped out. As for the pilot's suggestion of jumping onto trees, it was impossible. The fierce wind was blowing snow, and the ground below was a blur of darkness and white. Jumping down at this moment made it impossible to see the ground clearly, and controlling one's posture in the air was also impossible.

"Crack..." When everyone landed, they were lucky enough to fall into a forest, smashing countless branches. Fortunately, the branches provided cushioning, and the falling people did not die. Those who were unlucky had their limbs broken and were hanging on trees, while those who were lucky landed safely due to the cushioning of the branches.

After Long Qian landed, he carefully checked his injuries and found that he had only broken a few ribs. He then shouted into the surrounding forest, "Everyone scatter and escape. We'll regroup at Zhangjiajie."

After speaking, Long Qian fled directly into the distance. He had escaped the valley, but he was still within the range of Yeren Mountain. Shen Feng would definitely pursue him, and Long Qian could not use his special abilities at this moment, so he could only flee.

The rest of the group also fled quickly after hearing this. As for the unlucky few hanging on the trees, no one cared about them.

Long Qian had never known he could be so fast. Even with the snow on the ground and the dense forest, he could move quickly.

However, at this moment, Shen Feng arrived with his men. With Lu Xian's ability to detect heat, any human-shaped thermal object was definitely an enemy. This was Yeren Mountain, but the wild men had long since disappeared. By following the heat signals, they were sure to catch the target.

As Shen Feng walked, he instructed those around him, "I heard the captain of the Tianlong Bureau is named Long Qian. This is just an alias, and his surname is not Long. This guy should know the ability users in Luliang Mountain, so it's best to capture him alive. Lu Xian, you lead the way for everyone."

Shen Feng could not forget the ambush at sea by these people. He had been chased by these guys with nowhere to go, but now they were on land. Shen Feng wanted revenge. He just didn't know the background of the Thirteen Protectors of Luliang Mountain, and it was too far from Luliang Mountain to visit casually. It was best to capture Long Qian and find out the details of Luliang Mountain to get revenge.

After Lu Xian used his abilities, he discovered that the enemies were all scattering and escaping. He immediately began to command, "City Lord, you chase in the twelve o'clock direction. That guy over there is running too fast. Chase him down and kill him; he seems to be an ability user as well. Also, Mr. Wang, you chase in the three o'clock direction, and Shi Weitian, you go to the nine o'clock direction."

No one objected. They chased in the directions indicated by Lu Xian and soon began to kill. But strangely, despite killing many ability users, Shen Feng never found Long Qian. Wang Ao Ye and his group also did not find Long Qian's whereabouts.

Shen Feng felt very strange and thought, "How can someone escape at this time? This shouldn't be happening."

"Lu Xian, is your ability malfunctioning? How can a person just disappear?" Shen Feng asked.

At this time, Wang Ao Ye returned with the heads of several people and said, "It seems a few more people are missing. Let's detect them too. Since we've already fallen out, we must achieve the most successful ambush so that no one will dare to provoke us in the future."

Lu Xian continued to use his abilities, but all he could sense were their own ability users, and the rest were some injured people hanging on trees. These injured people were also basically ordinary people.

"It seems that a few escaped and cannot be found. There are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that these few people are dead. The body temperature of dead people will dissipate, especially after being covered by heavy snow, which blocks heat transfer. At this time, I cannot detect them," Lu Xian said with a frown.

Regarding the first possibility, everyone was speechless. Especially Yang Chang, who directly said, "This is only about thirty meters high. Ability users themselves have strong physical qualities. How could they be killed by falling at this time? What's the next possibility? Just say it."

Lu Xian nodded and continued, "Besides death, another possibility for why I can't find the enemy is that these people have hidden themselves! My ability is to sense heat. As long as an object is emitting heat, it will produce infrared radiation, which I can sense. Since I can't sense it now, it must be blocked. And in the heavy snowfall, the only thing that can block heat is snow. The remaining few enemies that cannot be found must be hiding under the snow."

Everyone felt a headache upon hearing this. They looked around. The snow was falling heavily, and the branches could not block the flying snow at all. The snow on the ground was thirty centimeters deep. In the north, this might not be much, as winter in the north is much colder than in the south. But in the south, so much snow was a complete disaster. The surroundings were covered in snow. If the enemies were hiding under the snow, how could they be found?

"Is there any way to quickly find these guys?" Wang Ao Ye couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xian shrugged and said, "There's no way, unless Lin Yue or Lu Kaiyang come. Their electromagnetic wave detection methods and sound wave detection methods can find people hidden under the snow, but these two are not here, so, unfortunately, there's no way."

Shen Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I have a way. Everyone stand a little apart and guard the surrounding area. Don't search, just walk around. Hiding under the snow has a problem, which is hypothermia."

Everyone immediately understood Shen Feng's meaning. Shen Feng said this because he had already discovered the enemy's weakness. They liked to hide under the snow, didn't they? Then they should never come out. Let's see how long they can stay under the snow.

"That's right, we'll spread out. The enemies must also be hiding in the nearby snow. It just depends on whether they freeze to death down there," Wang Ao Ye immediately agreed.

Then, everyone spread out in the forest. The weather was extremely cold. Even walking in the forest required wearing thick clothes, constantly warming hands and rubbing ears, otherwise frostbite would occur. It was even colder under the snow.

In places with deep snow, caves could be dug in the snow for shelter. However, the snow in Wuling Mountain was not enough to dig shelters. Therefore, as long as they hid in the snow, they could not avoid contact with the snow. Even ability users would suffer from hypothermia. If it continued for a long time, even if they were not killed, they would freeze to death.

At this time, Yang Chang found hand warmers on himself and distributed one to everyone. The heat generation capacity of these things was not very strong, but in snowy weather, a little heat generation was better than none at all.

And things were indeed as Lu Xian had guessed. At this moment, Long Qian was hiding under the snow. Originally, Long Qian intended to move away from here as quickly as possible. But after hearing the screams from the forest, he realized that escaping from Shen Feng was not a realistic matter. In terms of speed, no one could be faster than Shen Feng. So, Long Qian had no choice but to hide.

"It's so cold, I can't hold on any longer. Has headquarters taken any action? Why hasn't reinforcements arrived yet?" Long Qian thought helplessly in his heart. Long Qian curled up into a ball in the snow, and the body heat caused the surrounding ice and snow to melt. The meltwater directly soaked his clothes, causing Long Qian's body temperature to drop even lower.

Long Qian's body trembled uncontrollably at this moment. This was uncontrollable. The body trembles when it is extremely cold; this is a way of generating heat. And Long Qian could also hear people walking around, which meant that Shen Feng had not left yet.
