The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

missile!!!

Ji Bai's mind went blank, and he was completely stunned.

He had previously considered just how low these people's bottom line really was.

He ran through all the possibilities in the simulation: hijacking, bribing the crew, hiding bombs.

But missiles... he never thought of that from beginning to end!

It's not that I can't think of it, it's that I dare not think of it!

Using a destroyer to launch missiles at a civilian airliner is a crime that, if exposed, would lead to a trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. It would be a war crime, a crime against humanity, and a scandal that would rip the entire American military's fig leaf to shreds.

They even dare to do this?

To kill one man, would you risk the entire nation's reputation?

"This is insane! This world has gone mad!"

Ji Bai stared intently at the rapidly approaching point of light, his mind racing.

Hand-to-hand combat? You can't withstand missiles with your bare hands.

Defusing a bomb? He can't exactly open the hatch, climb onto the missile, and remove the fuse.

As for flying airplanes, he can indeed fly them, but how can he use a commercial airliner to perform high-G maneuvers to evade missiles?

You can only watch movies; in reality, the structural strength and aerodynamic design of passenger planes simply do not allow for such operations. A sharp turn would cause the fuselage to disintegrate in mid-air, at which point even missiles would be unnecessary.

All cards are missing.

All skills are off.

Ji Bai took a deep breath.

"System, initiate the selection!"

"Redemption options specify the card type and special category!"

[Ding! Daily selection has started, selection successful!]

If you had 100 yuan, how would you spend it?

1. Today's fortune is greatly improved (20 yuan).

2. There is a 70% chance that a blessing you say to someone today will come true (the blessing must conform to the laws of physics and the order of the world) (40 yuan).

3. Something small will happen today that will make you happy (10 yuan).

4. If you compare anything with anyone today, the other person will automatically be outshone (10 yuan).

5. When you are silent today, everyone will think you are thinking about something extremely profound. (10 yuan)

6. A beautiful girl will confess her love to you today (10 yuan)

……

"I choose 123456!"

This time, there's no need to make a choice; the six options together cost exactly 100 yuan!

But then?

What should I do?

That's a fucking missile!

Ji Bai looked up, and the white trails outside the porthole were getting closer.

In the moonlight, he could even vaguely see the outline of the warhead cone, steadily approaching at subsonic cruising speed.

There is not much time left for him.

"Only two are usable now!"

There's a 70% chance that a blessing you send to someone today will come true!

Ji Bai stared at the line of text, his mind racing.

This option is most likely an upgraded version of the bug-level "I bet" skill that was fixed by the system.

With the addition of physical rules and the constraints of the world's operating order, we can no longer blindly gamble on the end of the world.

But what if we add just one small variable, a variable that perfectly conforms to the laws of physics and does not affect the order of the world's operation...?

Ji Bai had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhou Ling, who was assisting him in piloting the plane from the co-pilot's seat.

"Sister Ling, how old are you this year?"

Zhou Ling was completely frozen in the passenger seat.

From the moment she saw those trails of light outside the porthole, her mind went blank.

She is a doctor, not a soldier.

She can calmly treat gunshot wounds, fractures, and massive bleeding, and remain composed in the chaos of a hijacking scene to provide emergency treatment to the wounded. But she never imagined in her life that one day she would be able to observe missiles up close!

Upon hearing Ji Bai's words, he subconsciously replied, "35."

Then it dawned on me.

No, what time is it? Why are you still asking this?

Do you want to know how long I lived?

Just as her mind was in complete chaos, Ji Bai smiled slightly.

"Then I wish you a happy 36th birthday in advance!"

Ji Bai dared not say more, as he was afraid of having too much to say about living to a hundred years old.

But if we only wish someone a one-year-old a happy birthday, it should be in accordance with the laws of physics and shouldn't affect the order of the world, right?

Zhou Ling's mind went blank again.

Birthday? He's wishing me a happy birthday?

Now? Here? Inside the missile encirclement?

She stared blankly at Ji Bai's profile.

The boy, just turned eighteen, looked exceptionally clean in the dim light of the watch face, with a well-defined jawline and eyelashes casting a small shadow on his face.

His tone was completely relaxed, without any nervousness, trembling, or feigned composure; it was a genuine and heartfelt wish for her a happy birthday.

Zhou Ling's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She recalled the scene when the hijacking occurred, and the boy kicked away the black fist gold belt holder.

I recall his swift and decisive action in disarming the armed robber with a backhand and taking him down in three moves.

I recall his calm and collected demeanor as he calmly sat in the cockpit and skillfully took control of the entire aircraft.

I recall his focused concentration as he crouched in the luggage compartment, his hands as steady as a scalpel as he cut the fuse of a bomb.

Every image flashed through her mind, finally settling on this moment.

He turned his head and, in the instant the missile's exhaust plume illuminated the entire cockpit, wished her a happy 36th birthday.

Why did he have to say this at this particular time?

Zhou Ling lowered her head, pretending to fix her hair, but her fingers trembled slightly.

"Th-thank you!"

"If I live to 36, I will definitely... I will definitely..."

Ji Bai secretly curled his lip.

Woman, what do you want to say?

The next second, Zhou Ling suddenly raised her head!

She suddenly realized that she was no longer panicked.

Missiles or death, it doesn't seem to matter that much anymore.

Ji Bai remained seated, his expression calm, a faint smile playing on his lips.

It was as if the five missiles rapidly approaching outside the window were just a few specks of dust on the windowpane.

To be able to go to the underworld with such a young man, with heaven and earth as our coffin, the stars as our burial companions, and the missile's exhaust flames as our final fireworks...

That seems pretty romantic!

Zhou Ling straightened her back, adjusted her collar, and sat up properly, preparing to greet the final moment with the boy in a dignified manner.

Then, she was stunned!

Several sharp missiles shot out from the clouds behind the passenger plane at extreme speed, precisely intercepting the missiles in front!

Interceptor missile... It was intercepted?

who is it?

Who ruined my romantic suicide pact?

Not only Zhou Ling, but Ji Bai was also stunned!

I made a small wish, and it actually summoned several missiles?

Just as the two were somewhat bewildered, the plane shook violently, as if there was a strong turbulence.

The next second, two silver-gray iron-blooded figures broke through the clouds and steadily positioned themselves to accompany the passenger plane on the left and right!

It felt so familiar, so dear!

Immediately afterwards, a more familiar voice came through the earphones:

"Ji Bai, we are from the Chinese Navy, and we are here to escort you!"

"The carrier strike group USS Wide Silence has formed a defensive depth behind your aircraft, with all air defense and anti-missile systems online, and air superiority fighters are providing cover in three waves."

"From this moment forward, my formation will be responsible for every nautical mile below your flight path and every cubic meter of airspace surrounding it!"

"We...we're here to take you home!"

(Aaaaaaah!!! I can't take it anymore! I drank a whole row of AD calcium milk while writing this chapter, shamelessly begging for a reward!!!)
