Chapter 2015 Hopeless

Now there's good news and bad news.

The bad news is that as everyone was falling, a large amount of rubble and debris was falling on their heads.

The good news is, they haven't reached the bottom yet.

The cabin directly below the museum may have collapsed. It is not known how deep it is, but it is deep enough for Alyssa to realize that she has fallen, and she still has the energy to observe her surroundings before she hits the ground.

"Open your jetpack!"

The terrifying feeling of weightlessness enveloped everyone, but they all heard Alyssa’s voice.

Since the gravity inside the fortress is only one-third of the standard gravity, the jet pack has a certain effect, at least it can slow down the speed of everyone's descent.

Alday doesn't know how to use a jet pack, but it's still difficult to kill a conscious mage by falling.

She immediately made a hand gesture, and the speed of her fall was immediately reduced from free fall to slowly falling like a feather.

At the same time, Orde waved his staff at Sista and Benben who were not far away, and two glowing chains immediately wrapped around them, as if they could share the effect of Feather Fall, slowing down the two heavy creatures.

But don't forget, there are ruins falling above your head.

Large pieces of debris whizzed past with terrible sounds, which could be heard clearly even through the mask. There was no need to doubt the consequences of being hit, as they could be put directly into a small box and taken away.

The jet backpack can not only slow down the vehicle, but also slightly control the direction of descent. Almost everyone looked up, trying to predict from which direction the debris would fall.

No one has died yet, it's purely luck that the goddess Tymora showed her Ahegao to them.

Orde grabbed Benben and Xista with glowing chains, and began to wave her staff at other people around her. Every time she waved, a glowing chain would connect to them, just like a diligent fisherman catching fish, constantly trying to gather together the people who were scattered because of the fall.

But don't forget, the evil spirit is right there, and it is because of it that the floor is damaged.

The huge black shadow instantly blocked out the light above. Seeing this, Alde was shocked and pulled the staff with all her strength.

This action looked like fishing, pulling everyone connected by magic chains to her side.

But there was not enough time, and at least seven or eight people had not been connected yet and were trying to dodge using jet packs.

Among these seven or eight people, there is Alyssa.

Alyssa felt like she was screwed. The more fun she had enjoying the looting before, the more miserable she felt now.

Luck is indeed conserved.

Whether using jet packs or feather fall techniques, everyone was slowing down, but the ball of purple-red liquid was not slowing down, it was completely in free fall.

It was definitely impossible to move towards Orday now. Alyssa and the others adjusted the throttle of their jet packs to the maximum and tried their best to dodge to the side, because the evil spirit as big as a hill was falling right between the two groups.

Although it only felt like a flash and the evil spirit disappeared into the darkness below, Alyssa didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before she saw a piece of recycled material falling from above her head. It looked like that thing should be part of the exhibition stand.

From Aurday's perspective, they saw the evil god falling into the bottomless darkness, and Alyssa and the others seemed to be hit by the falling debris, and disappeared almost immediately after...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Time began to flow in a strange way, and she had no idea how much time had passed. Alyssa suddenly opened her eyes as if she had woken up from a nightmare.

The first thing I felt was pain. Not only my head hurt, but my whole body ached.

"Boss, are you awake?"

Alyssa heard Dui's voice, she held her forehead, and suddenly noticed that the mask was opened.

Turning her head with great difficulty, Alyssa saw the faces of Lieutenant Dui and several soldiers. The lights on their chests were adjusted to a very low brightness, and it was difficult to see the surroundings clearly. "Is everyone okay? Where are the others?"

Lieutenant Duy shook his head.

"We scattered when we fell."

Alyssa felt a splitting headache and had to rely on Dui to support her when she tried to get up.

At the same time, she felt a very unpleasant dull pain in her leg, possibly a fracture or crack.

Looking around, it was a very dark environment and very humid.

Alyssa saw a man lying on a crude bed filled with straw, and not far away was a fence door closed with steel bars...

Why does this feel like a prison?
"Where are we?"

"Not sure, but it's like a prison."

Lieutenant Duy said:
"I was the first one to wake up and saw a few people were leaving. They were like putting us in a cell."

What's the situation?
Did I cross over?
"Don't worry, you're still in the fortress."

At this time, Li Chengxi's voice came from the headset, and he said:
"There is a town below the hole you fell into. You were knocked unconscious by the rubble, but luckily your jetpack did not stop working, and you happened to land near the town."

The jet packs used by Alyssa and the others are not the kind that spray by pressing a button, but rather the kind that controls thrust by adjusting the throttle valve.

In order to avoid the falling evil spirit, they had already adjusted the throttle to the maximum. Even if no one was operating it after he fell unconscious, it was still spraying to reduce the speed of descent.

Thanks to this, otherwise I would have definitely fallen to death.

Of course, Li Chengxi would pull them over before they fell to death.

"Where is the evil god?"

"I fell down. There is still a bottomless abyss under the town. I don't know how deep it is."

“Why are we in jail?”

"When you landed on the edge of the town, a group of guys who looked like patrolmen found you. They tried to pull off your protective suits, but failed. Maybe they were afraid of any danger, so they put you in jail."

Once the protective clothing is put on, it cannot be opened from the outside and can only be opened or taken off by the wearer himself.

Without professional equipment, it is impossible for outsiders to open or forcibly dismantle it.

Alyssa's mask was open because her air reserves were used up.

After all, the jet backpack also sprays stored air. Even if you carry double the amount, it can't withstand such a spray.

When Alyssa and the others were put into the prison, the oxygen supply was exhausted. After warnings were ineffective, the protective suit determined that the wearer was in a coma and that the surrounding air content reached the breathable standard, so it automatically opened the mask.

After listening to Li Chengxi's explanation, Alyssa couldn't help but sigh that she was lucky.

"Where are the others?"

"Don't worry, no one is lost. The others are with Alde. I have already told them about your situation."

As she spoke, several bottles of cherry red and light gold potions suddenly popped out from beside Orday's hand, or more precisely, beside her personal terminal:
"Let's take care of your injuries first. Aurora and the others are on their way to join you. As for the evil spirit..."

Li Chengxi said calmly:
"After we get out, find what we are looking for as soon as possible, and then leave quickly. This fortress cannot be saved."
