Chapter 1762 An Unhappy Man


    The strangeness of this world knew no bounds. And it was precisely because of this that they still had to be safe when attempting to go in. They used to think that with the metal ships built, they had already reached the pique of human technology. However, it was moments like these that allowed everyone to be grateful for the emergence of choppers and other military flying machines. Imagine trying to venture into the Death Line using their current ship technology would still be disastrous. They would be chewed and spat out by the Death Line in just a few minutes. Everyone''s face was sullen while staring at the projected screen. A young but very intelligent man in sses called their attention to the obvious technological dangers involving their mission. He was a military Engineer. Beside him were 2 others who studied weather and climate. 3 of them spoke in turns. "As you know, you will be going in via air travel. But even then, we don''t know how safe it is." "We don''t know if the winds above the Death Line are extremely turbulent. And even if it''s deemed safe, we don''t know if there will be any surprises while mid-air." Remember how the tornado winds in Somae out every few hours? Who is to say the situation wouldn''t be the same here? That''s why they must do their best to arrive as early as possible before mating season. They must get as close to the Death Line as possible while sending up resting drones which are simr to giant pods or 1-seater helicopters. They wanted to test if the winds up there would be too chaotic for helicopter choppers. Will the rotating winds fly off? Even if they analyzed that the rotating des of the choppers won''t off, would they be able to stabilize themselves while flying?


    They don''t want the entire chopper spiraling like crazy while flying. There was so much to consider here from atmospheric pressure, humidity, wind speed, chopper weight distribution, and many more. You see, this was where engineering came in. They have to test and recalcte several factors, determining the rate of sess from the data pulled. Landon had brought 3 military ships for this mission. 2 were defense battleships. And the other 2 were giant carrier vessels. Some of their choppers were standard choppers, while others were simr to Boeing Ch-47 Chinook choppers that people usually see on TV. It''s typically athe storage vessel that has 2 rotary des, one on its head and another on its end (butt). One can say why not bring in small fighter jets, the types used in the World War? But have you forgotten their mission? They are here for peace and not for war. Why bring in fighter jets across the Death Line when most of their concern was about transporting medical equipment, and other items they would need once in there? Thanks to the system''s super modified versions of these choppers, many disadvantages seen in modern time versions were eliminated. …


    The dangers above. One by one many couldn''t help wondering about how safe it was. Luckily, they have a trusty team to analyze everything for them. If it were in the past, soldiers and knights would just move on like sheep without knowing that such things could be tested. Still, if they truly wanted a safe mode of traveling, it all boils down to how early they reach the Death Line. They must arrive way earlier than those giant boggles and have a safe station to carry out their tests. The reason why they wanted the tests to be very close to them was so that if any idents happened, they could easily retrieve the fallen devices. What''s more, being close also gives them a true understanding of how deadly the ce is. But if they came during mating season, there would be a big device between them and the Death Line. No one knows why these boggles loved mating just before the Death Line. They covered miles and miles of the waters leading to the Death Line, using those areas as mating ponds. It seems that the vibrations and waves sent from the Death Line to the surrounding waters were what they loved. They loved mating in the presence of such vibrations and waves. And should anyone disturb them…Well, you can already guess how annoyed they will be. To be honest, anyone would be annoyed if they were with their partner and someone kept knocking at the door or bothering him when he was about to reach the big climax. Are you crazy? Come some other time! These giant boggles can only mate once a year. This was their spot, their collective spot where boggles from across the world swim just to make it in time for mating. For them, it wasn''t a one-day affair. They mate for close to 2 months after finding a partner. During those 2 months, it''s crucial they don''t get disturbed. Their most viscous side is unleashed once disturbed. And the way they attacked ships that bugged them was also very cruel. That''s why no matter what, they must reach and carry out their tests before the mating season. .


    Everyone took in deep breaths, knowing the gravity of the situation. Their main fear and concern was that in this life, one can never be 100% sure of anything. Let''s say they seed in their tests, knowing the chopper''s des can hold on mid-air above the death line. That''s good and all, but what about the surprising attacks from nature? What if there''s a fierce wind or another bizarre scenario that knocks those in the choppers down? They wanted to be as close enough to the Death Line as they could so they could try their best to save them. They indeed estimated their ships would get chewed and eaten up after entering the Death Line. But it wasn''t so immediate, was it? 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes? 15 minutes?


    Unlike wooden ships, these ones were metal of metal. Not just any metal, buy super-enhanced metal. These ships were among the first 5 ships to be reconstructed using enhanced metal with superior strength. Eventually, the ship would get chewed. But how long do they have before their ships go down? How long can their ships hold on? If they do a quick save and escape fast before any critical damage, it should be alright... right? Provided their men were still in the high-grade, strength-enhanced choppers, they would be able to survive for some time before getting sliced and diced by the waters like fish. The dangers of this pace were just too many to count. That''s why they must test, test, and test again and again until they are 99% sure of their theories.


    Human lives were at stake here, so they must not make any mistake! They didn''t know if the Death Line was this string because it was winter. Who knows… Maybe in summer, it was a little less destructive. Though to be honest, Labdon had to say it was quite odd that the simmering regions all had terrible snow, whether it was those on Romain and possibly those in Dania continent. But those within the mysterious ind hardly got any snow. What they mostly had was rain and hailstones during folders seasons like these. This was another matter that Landon couldn''t understand geographically and scientifically. Again, he had to ask what the goddess/God of this world was thinking. Do you think you can just create whatever you like without putting order in? Maybe there was some geographical order in the matter, but he hasn''t discovered one yet. Of course, Landon just knew of Mirvanna''s existence not too long ago. So maybe after studying it well, he will better understand it from a scientific point of view. (-w-)


    . Just like that, the meeting connected with talks of potential dangers bit just from the Death Line but from the natives who dont know of their existence. And as he prepared, so did many across the world. Time seemed to flow like water. And before anyone knew it, several weeks had gone by in a sh. It was already January 20th. (^O^)


    Hooray! Hooray! Many cheered with smiles knowing they lived to see another year. Yes!


    A new year hade, and for some, school was in full swing as usual. For others, it meant business.


    Many things have happened so far, especially in Pyno. 9utside a particr city, the air was frosty and the grounds white. Yet, most people still had smiles on their faces while stoning their well-made boots around. Cold? What was that? If it was before, their grass stalk shoes would have already been soaked and their legs cold and frozen while walking. Back then, not everyone could afford a simple boot from a shoemaker. Even with the shoes they made using animal fur wrapped around their legs, they still got snow into their shoes from time to time. But now, they wore snow-proof shoes. These Baymardian winter boots were just the thing they needed to crave the windy storms. What''s more, the underneath part of the shoes had small studs to prevent sliding as they typically did in the past. And you know what, the shoes were also too cheap in their honest opinion! Food, shelter, clothing. Those were the most important things to them during winter.


    They now have it all, so how can they not smile? Ah yes… It was a merry start for many, but not for the man standing above the crowd of streetwalkers. He had a cold smile on his devilishly handsome face.


    "So, is he truly dead?"
