"Dear international passengers, I'm sorry to inform you that our flight will be landing at New Suez in advance. Please adjust your schedule accordingly," the announcement suddenly rang out, waking Mofan from his deep sleep.
Zhao Manyan and Mubai woke up too. They looked at the other passengers in confusion.
The Egyptians only groaned when they heard the announcement. They did not react too strongly. A few middle-aged Arabian men even sat with their legs crossed and calmly flipped to the second page of the newspaper.
"What's going on?" Brianca asked.
"It seems like Cairo is at war. We're not accepting any flights that aren't for military purposes," a young man sitting at the back said.
"War?" Mubai was startled.
Why did these people make it sound like a war was as easy as air traffic control? Wasn't a war a huge deal!?
"I think it's the scorpions and nagas. They will come out to hunt during this season to replenish the energy for their eggs," the Arabian man said as he flipped through the newspaper.
"Mister, do wars happen a lot here?" Heidi asked.
"Of course, if it weren't for those goddamned undead, Egypt would have conquered the world by now," the Arabian man said.
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard the words. Mo Fan noticed that these people seemed to be used to the war. On second thought, it was quite common to fight against the undead at the Ancient Capital at night, yet the people of the Ancient Capital were still enjoying their barbecued skewers, visiting nightclubs, and hooking up …
It was the same in Egypt. Since they could not reach Cairo directly, they had to find another way.
"Dear international passengers, we're sorry to inform you that the south side of New Suez has been occupied by demon creatures. The flight will be returning the same way. We apologize for the inconvenience," a new announcement came not long after.
"Holy crap, are you kidding me!?" Mofan was the first to rise to his feet.
The passengers lost their calm when they heard the announcement. Many of them went up to the window and looked down.
As a matter of fact, they had already arrived outside New Suez. The airport was beside a wet desert. Looking out from here, New Suez was right on the ground, covered by a thin layer of clouds.
Through the thin clouds, one could see that the small square cities were being invaded by something that looked like black streams. Looking down from an altitude of 7,000 meters above sea level, it was not a spectacular sight. The main thing was that everything looked too small!
"I'm sorry, dear international travelers, but I'm afraid we don't have enough fuel to go back the way we came. The air traffic in other cities is congested, and they can't maintain our formation in the air. We'll have to land in New Suez. After the plane lands, a team of soldiers will escort everyone to evacuate. Please follow the instructions strictly and do not act rashly. "The broadcast sounded again.
The announcement was repeated twice, and all the passengers on the plane were dumbfounded!
It was not like they were blind. New Suez was obviously in the middle of a war, just like Cairo. Many demon creatures were attacking the south side of the city. Landing at the airport in the south was like delivering food to the tiger's mouth!
"I really have to hand it to EgyptAir," Zhao Manyan said.
The passengers at the back were in a mess. The Arabian man who was reading the newspaper was arguing with the stewardess. He was on the verge of beating someone up.
The other Egyptians kept cursing and asking the captain to land in the desert.
They would rather land in the desert than land in a city that was in the middle of a war. Did they really think the military would escort them to safety?
It was hard to say if the military could even withstand the pressure. It was very likely that they would all die here if they were not careful.
"Please respect the arrangement, we have no choice," the stewardess said. The flight attendants tried to persuade the passengers. No matter how the passengers hit them or scolded them, they did not show any signs of losing their composure. This quality was admirable.
"Is it really that chaotic outside?" Brianca finally blurted out after some time.
Brianca had stayed at the Alps Institute for quite some time. She thought the world was peaceful, yet the first place she went to was already a shocking sight.
"It's true that there have been a lot of wars in recent years," Mofan agreed.
The wars had never stopped. The demon creatures were in a dominant position. The territory they occupied was a hundred times or even a thousand times more than the territory humans occupied. Once a horde or kingdom became too powerful, the different species of demon creatures could no longer keep one another in check. The bloodthirsty demon creatures would invade the human cities!
In the end, humans were not strong enough. They were still living in the gaps between the demon creatures' kingdoms. The outcome of the war was entirely dependent on the demon creatures' whims.
Egypt had been fighting against the demon creatures for a long time. As a matter of fact, China was in the same situation. Not only did it have a vast land and abundant resources, the demon creatures were even more varied. Leaving aside the twenty thousand kilometers of coastline that was the biggest threat, the famous kingdoms inland included the Kingdom of Undead, the Kunlun Kingdom, the Dongting Lake Horde, the Qinling Mountains Horde, the Nanshan Horde, and the Beijiang Desolate Beasts …
The demon creatures of the Kunlun Kingdom had been giving China a lot of face in recent years. They had only allowed the demon creatures of the Qinling Mountains to do something reckless. The Kingdom of Undead had also quieted down after the Calamity of the Ancient Capital. Otherwise, if the coastline was seriously damaged and the inland was attacked, the country would have shrunk significantly.
Even so, the Headquarters City Strategy had already been implemented. Countless second- and third-tier cities, towns, and villages had been abandoned and relocated to the Headquarters City. They claimed that they were building human bases with absolute defense and safety, but it was more like they were hiding behind iron walls, ceding the mountains, rivers, oceans, and sky to the demon creatures!
In the past, Mo Fan was weak and did not have great ambitions, but things were different now. Not only was he weak, but he also had a great ambition. No one would believe him if he told them about it. He was living an exciting life.
"Holy crap, so many Scorpions and Snakes! They aren't even wearing clothes! "Zhao Manyan yelled out of the window.
The plane was flying sideways, allowing them to see the situation below. The Scorpions and Snakes in Egypt were not a metaphor for vicious women. They were Snake Scorpions and Snakes with the upper bodies of women and the lower bodies of snakes or scorpions!
The Nagas were the subordinates of the Scorpions, but they could mate with one another too. The Snake Scorpions and Snake Scorpions had the lower bodies of pythons, the upper bodies of women, and six arms of scorpions.
The Snake Scorpions and Snake Scorpions did not think highly of these Snake Scorpions, as their lineage was not pure enough. They were usually used as cannon fodder in battles, but their low status did not necessarily mean they were weaker than the pure-blooded Snake Scorpions and Nagas!
