Under Yu Yuan's control, the aircraft zoomed toward the Grand Canyon at top speed. The sudden acceleration threw Lin Sanjiu onto the back of the chair, almost causing her to lose her balance. However, she did not notice it at all. She just held onto the cockpit tightly and looked out of the window at the barren wilderness.
"It's too dark," she yelled. "I can't see anything!"
Based on the navigation, they knew that they were already above the Grand Canyon. However, the rift was five to six hundred kilometers long, not to mention that Exodus was located nearly a kilometer below the Grand Canyon. When she looked down from the sky, all the details on the ground that had helped her locate her position were gone. In the endless dark rift, not even the shadow of a house could be seen.
"This aircraft has a lighting device," Yu Yuan said. Then, he hesitated, "But …"
Before he finished his sentence, Lin Sanjiu understood what he meant. Now that the camouflage barrier had been removed, Exodus was lying defenseless in the Grand Canyon. If they used the searchlight to search all the way, wouldn't it be the same as pointing out the direction to those spying on them?
Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth and punched the table. "Let's light it up. Let's finish this as soon as possible!"
As soon as she said that, the darkness in front of her was torn apart by a strong light. Only then did she realize that the two black 'scythes' had been flattened and rotated to the sides of the fuselage, protecting the aircraft like wings. The searchlight was lit from the tip of the 'scythes', and it shone straight into the rift valley beneath her feet.
The aircraft descended to an altitude of about ten meters. As the engine roared, it stirred up the night sky. Lin Sanjiu could only see dust and smoke from the rings of light that streaked across the sky. On the several screens in front of Yu Yuan, the real-time detection radar had not yet sent back any results because Exodus was too difficult to find.
In the end, the thing that helped Lin Sanjiu locate Exodus was a rock platform that she had stayed on the first time she came to the Grand Canyon. After she recognized it, her blood flowed faster. She shouted to Yu Yuan, "It's down there! Can we land on that platform? "
After finding a familiar landmark, she seemed to be able to vaguely see a line of white in the sandstorm ravaged by the rift valley.
"No, it's too narrow. I have to fly to the outside of the canyon to land," Yu Yuan replied. "We can walk back to Exodus from the landing point!" As he spoke, he pulled the aircraft higher and prepared to turn in the air. Even though his body was painted blue, Lin Sanjiu could still see a hint of nervousness in his eyes, as well as some other emotions.
Lin Sanjiu took a quick glance and imprinted his expression in her mind. It was the expression he had when he first saw Exodus: surprise, doubt, doubt, and a little hesitation.
When the aircraft finally landed on the ground, it vibrated so slightly that it was almost unnoticeable. The cabin door slid open. She glanced at Yu Yuan, and the latter immediately pulled out the activation key. As they walked toward the cabin door, Yu Yuan suddenly opened his mouth.
"I must confess a thought to you." He wiped his face, and when he took his hand away the blue paint was still firmly on his skin. "You might not have noticed, but recently, I've been thinking about this matter. I often get distracted because of it …"
Lin Sanjiu bit her tongue because she wanted him to continue talking without being interrupted.
The two of them jumped out of the cabin door and rushed into the night. They passed by two tall black "scythes" and strode towards the edge of the canyon. Gusts of wind reverberated on the distant horizon, but it lacked the echoes of the rustling of the forest. Wherever the wind and sand swept past, the world seemed even more silent, making one believe that there might be other people here besides them.
"You know, my ability allows me to be very proficient in all kinds of instruments, electronics, and machines. Sometimes, I can even know how to use an instrument just by looking at it."
Without a point of reference, the Grand Canyon in the distance seemed so far away. It was as if no matter how much she ran, she would never be able to shorten the distance. Fortunately, Lin Sanjiu knew that it was just her imagination. As the two of them sped up, Yu Yuan couldn't help but stutter, "I … When I first saw your house, I felt … something was wrong …"
"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu asked as she led the way up the slope. The Grand Canyon was right in front of them. Even though there was no light in the wilderness, she could still vaguely see the vast crevice that was even darker than the night sky.
Yu Yuan followed closely behind her. He seemed to have said something, but his words were drowned out by the hurried footsteps of the two of them. Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear him clearly. She halted her footsteps and turned around to look. "What did you say?" Before she could say anything, the ground beneath her feet suddenly trembled.
A roar that she had never heard before sounded like it came from the depths of the earth. It shook every pebble and every grain of sand on the ground. Even though the roar had filled the wilderness, it carried an indescribable softness to her ears. It was as if it came from an extremely precise structure.
"I … I don't have to say anything." Yu Yuan's face, which was painted with a thick layer of blue paint, was illuminated by the rising light behind Lin Sanjiu. His gaze was fixed on the spot behind her, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. The white light illuminated his bitter smile, "Look."
Dumbfounded, she turned around.
For a moment, she didn't even know what she was looking at.
Against the dark blue sky, there was a dazzling light rising from the bottomless, pitch-black valley. Without the cover of the river, the Grand Canyon had turned into a sea of light. The white light filled the entire valley, casting a snow-white glow on the rocks.
Violent air currents gushed out from the depths of the valley, sweeping across the land along with the roar. The strong wind buffeted their skin, and the sand and pebbles on the ground tumbled. For a moment, they couldn't even open their eyes. Compared to the air currents in the Grand Canyon, the aircraft's engine wasn't even worth mentioning. Even though they were posthumans, they couldn't help but stumble a few steps back.
"What happened?"
Lin Sanjiu shielded her eyes with her hand and squinted. She tried her best to look at the Grand Canyon in front of her.
The tremor under her feet gradually subsided, but the wind and the roar were getting more and more terrifying. Then, in the sea of light, she saw Exodus.
Bathed in the light, the huge snow-white ring slowly rose from between the rocks on both sides. First, a little bit of the edge was revealed from the grand canyon, followed by half of the intricately constructed body … It seemed to have completely come to life. In the light and airflow it cast, the white ring slowly rotated and rose into the night sky.
"Quick!"
While she was still in a daze, Yu Yuan pulled her from behind, turned around, and rushed back. "We don't have much time. It's about to rise!"
"My house? It's about to rise? "
Even though it sounded ridiculous, Lin Sanjiu immediately followed after him. She did not dare to slow down at all. Her mind was a mess. Countless thoughts collided with each other. Apart from shock and doubt, she felt nothing but shock and doubt. When the pitch-black aircraft finally appeared in front of her, she finally reacted. She couldn't help but look back.
Exodus had completely left the Grand Canyon and was floating in the night sky. Its light had dimmed, but the snow-white ring had never looked as magnificent and breathtaking as it did at that moment — and as far away as it had ever been.
The aircraft door slid open silently, and the lights gradually turned on. Panting, they plunged into the cabin. They accidentally knocked off the shell of some instrument and rolled on the floor. Before Yu Yuan could even catch his breath, he rushed to the pilot's seat and quickly started the aircraft. Behind him, Lin Sanjiu caught up with him with heavy footsteps. "You … You suspected that Exodus is a spaceship, right?"
"From the first time I saw it. Hold on tight! " Yu Yuan shouted. The aircraft suddenly broke free from the ground and rose straight into the night sky. Suddenly, an oppressive force pressed Lin Sanjiu down. She quickly grabbed the co-pilot's chair and sat down.
In the darkness of the night, Exodus, which was completely white, was rising steadily into the sky. Its speed was astonishing, but its movements were light and graceful. It was as if it was a shooting star in the night sky.
"The reason why I didn't say anything was because I had always suspected that I was mistaken." Yu Yuan, whose entire body was glowing blue, finally calmed his breathing. He chased after the white dot in front of him at top speed, drawing a stunning arc in the air. "But the more I observed Silas, the more I felt that something was wrong. A house doesn't need such a battleship level main control system, let alone other facilities. For example, a house on the ground, would it need air pressure control and atmospheric circulation? "
When Lin Sanjiu thought of Silas, she felt a little heartache.
"It can't be the work of those thieves. They don't have the authority, so they can't even get in," Lin Sanjiu said coldly. Anger surged through her veins. "Removing the camouflage barrier, the control system, and piloting Exodus … These are not things that those thieves can do."
"Do you know who it is?"
"There is only one person," Lin Sanjiu gritted her teeth, forcing the words out of her mouth one by one. "He disguised a spaceship as a house and sold it to me. He then found a suitable time to sneak it away."
It was a scam that no one would have thought of. Ordinary people would only pay attention to the interior of the house and the location of the house. No one would suspect that their house could take off.
If she had come back an hour later, she would never know what happened to Exodus.
"I'll try to keep up with it." "I hope that person doesn't know that we are tailing him. It will be troublesome if he leaves the atmosphere."
"What?"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She turned to look at Yu Yuan.
The blue man glanced at her and looked ahead again. "Why are you looking at me? Exodus is not an ordinary transport spaceship. Didn't you say it yourself? "
No, she only said that Exodus was a spaceship … Just like the vehicles that flew across the sky of Heaven Underworld.
"Then, then, it is …" Lin Sanjiu stammered.
