Transmigrated as the Domesticated Rabbit of the Sick and Frail Villain in the Apocalypse - CH 48.3

The lives of the pilots weren’t as relaxing as people thought, despite the fact that they did not have to face mutated beasts and could earn points as long as they flew a plane every day.

As a matter of fact, after the apocalypse, many new flying species had gradually appeared, and they often attacked planes in the air. Most of them were social animals who lived in swarms. If one encountered them, their chances of survival were slim.

Because if they came across a mutated animal on land, they could still run away, and if they couldn’t run away, they could fight back.

However, if an accident occurred in the air, the only possible outcome was death in a plane crash.

He only made a joke before taking off, but who would have thought that they would be so unlucky.

Jin Yang was not alarmed by the pilot’s statements. He gave a firm pat on the middle-aged man’s trembling shoulder, substantially reducing the fear in his heart.

“What if we land right now?”

“We can’t,” the pilot vetoed.

“There’s no way we can land with all that giant vegetation down there, and even if we do, we’re already in the confines of City A now. There’s no telling where mutated animals might be hiding.”

The Zhao siblings looked at the endlessly clear sky. Although they were a little frightened, they believed that the pilot was overthinking.

Now in broad daylight, not a single shadow of a bird could be seen. Maybe the one that got sucked into the propeller just now was just a lone bird?

Jin Yang pondered for a moment before growing and asking, “So what you’re saying is that if a flock of birds attacks, all we can do is wait for our death?”

“That’s right. If we come across a large number of birds head-on, we’ll be attacked, the propeller will be damaged, and the plane will crash.”

The pilot took two deep breaths and continued, “We can try flying at a low altitude, but the risk is very high. You should know the air currents and those trees of varying heights…”

“Then we’ll fly at a low altitude,” Jin Yang made the final decision. He patted the pilot on the shoulder once more, his face devoid of fear.

He lowered his gaze and looked at the bunny, who was obviously a little panicked. He comforted her gently as he smoothed her fur, “Don’t be afraid. It will be alright.”

His face was composed and his voice was as steady as usual. Yin Yiliu’s panicked heart became much calmer. She took a deep breath and reached for Jin Yang’s sleeve, deciding to put her trust in him.

In Yin Yiliu’s heart, her Big Golden Thigh was omnipotent. As long as he said that there was no problem, then there was undoubtedly no problem.

She patted Jin Yang back with her paw, indicating that she was not afraid and telling him not to be afraid either.

Jin Yang was amused by the little fella’s heartwarming actions, and his lips hooked into a slight smile. When he raised his head again, he returned to his trenchant self.

The pilot moved the joystick to control the helicopter’s descent. They weren’t sure if it was a psychological effect, but the lower the altitude, the more unstable and unsafe it felt.

After a few minutes, the sky was still calm, with blue sky and white clouds as far as the eyes could see, and there were no birds in sight.

The pilot’s nerves had subsided significantly. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Qiyang, who was sitting in the back, said, “Uncle, I told you you were overthinking it.”

As soon as his words fell, some tiny black dots suddenly appeared in the distant sky. They wouldn’t have noticed it if they didn’t look carefully, but Jin Yang had been paying attention to his surroundings, and when he saw those black dots, he immediately shouted, “Fly lower!”

The black dots were moving very quickly, and within a few seconds, everyone in the helicopter saw them. It started out as a faint patch, but it quickly expanded and grew into a dense patch that flew towards them from afar.

It was like a black rain. The originally clear sky was immediately obscured by a dark haze. Yin Yiliu’s scalp tingled at the sight.

How many mutated birds were there?!

The pilot’s relaxed heart immediately tensed up again. He punched himself in the leg and immediately controlled the joystick to fly downwards.

The giant mutated plants beneath them had grown to uneven heights, with some species reaching 20 to 30 meters or even higher. The pilot kept the helicopter in control, not daring to descend any further.

At this point, the black dots in the air could be seen clearly. An overwhelming number of black birds were flocking towards them, and their shrieks and the sound of their wings flapping were audible even from a distance and through a layer of window.1

These birds resembled crows, but were smaller in size, completely black except for their hard, curved, hook-like beaks, which were white, and pairs of small round eyes that were red and bright.

Even though it was daylight, Yin Yiliu had the impression that she had seen densely packed red light bulbs flickering and an army of mutated birds marching in their direction.

“W-what should we do now?”

The pilot’s voice trembled. He was just an ordinary person. Mutated birds were only legends to him, and this was the first time he had seen them with his own eyes.

“Continue flying. Make the helicopter fly sideways, so it would be safer for the propellers,” Jin Yang instructed solemnly while observing the approaching birds in the sky.

He grabbed the joystick held by the pilot and pushed it down, causing the helicopter to slant down even more.
