Chapter 765 Airdrop

Chapter 764 Airdrop

During their time trapped on the Ferris wheel, Yifei and Xiaoxian talked about many topics they would never normally discuss with each other. For the first time, they also shed their fierce and cheeky traits and talked calmly for a very long time.

These two longtime rivals seem to have only just seen another side of each other today.

Unfortunately, this world is ultimately based on material things. No matter how the two tried to distract themselves and imagine the stuffy cabin as a warm sauna, the scorching summer heat still made them feel worse and worse.

High temperatures, intense sun exposure, significant loss of moisture and salt, coupled with accumulating psychological stress.

Gradually, their voices grew softer and their speech slowed down.

With a throbbing head and feeling dizzy, Zeng Xiaoxian pressed his head against the scorching glass of the wheel well, his lips like parched land during a drought.

He felt as if all his strength had been drained, except for his right hand, which remained mechanical and numb as he used the amusement park's paper map to fan himself and Yifei.

"No, I can't take it anymore."

Zeng Xiaoxian murmured softly. He felt his mind was in a daze. He often heard voices but didn't realize it was him until much later.

"This is terrible! Am I, Zeng Xiaoxian, really going to die here today?!"

"If I died, would my autographed photos increase in value?"

"Stop overthinking. Unless you're buying an autographed photo and getting gold as a bonus, your autographed photo won't be worth anything no matter what."

Compared to Zeng Xiaoxian, who neglects exercise and has a stamina bar much shorter than that of a typical stay-at-home guy, Yifei's mental state is much better.

If Zeng Xiaoxian were to have an accident, she could shatter the special glass with a few blows, carry Xiaoxian all the way to the main axis of the Ferris wheel, and challenge the limits of her as the strongest carbon-based life form in the world.

At that moment, Yifei was leaning on Zeng Xiaoxian's shoulder, her hands trembling slightly as she unscrewed the cap of a mineral water bottle.

Luckily, the two of them had brought two bottles of mineral water with them when they went on the Ferris wheel, otherwise she would be fine, but Zeng Xiaoxian, that weakling, would probably be in even worse shape.

"Here, have some water!"

Yifei nudged Xiaoxian, signaling him to drink the last third of the bottle of water.

"never mind."

Xiaoxian didn't even have the strength to wave. He pursed his lips and said weakly, "I've already drunk one and a half bottles of water. You can keep the rest for an emergency."

With her throat practically parched, Yifei said nonchalantly, "Pshaw, I don't need this water to tide me over."

"If you die, wouldn't it be better for me to just drink your blood?"

Without a word, she fed the remaining water to Xiaoxian: "Stop talking nonsense, just drink it!"

"I----"

Xiao Xian never expected Yi Fei to force water down his throat. Caught off guard, he almost choked to death on the water before he even had a chance to be sunburned to death.

"Cough cough cough————"

He patted his chest and coughed repeatedly, taking a while to recover.

Xiao Xian retorted angrily, "We agreed to live and die together, and you're already eyeing my blood before I'm even dead?"

Yifei shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "When I said I would live and die with you, I never imagined that we might actually die together today."

She glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian: "Besides, if it weren't for your jinxing words, would we be stuck here now?"

"How can you blame me for this?"

Even though Xiaoxian is now half-dead, he's still stubborn.

He protested weakly, "If you hadn't dragged me on the Ferris wheel in the middle of the day, we wouldn't be stuck here like this, even if we were."

"Hey, I only brought you up because you said you wanted to ride the Ferris wheel."

Yifei rubbed her throbbing temples and muttered to herself, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have listened to me all day."

"If we had gone to do things like bungee jumping and rock climbing, we wouldn't be stuck here now."

Xiao Xian's lips twitched: "Then I think we're still lucky to be trapped here. What if the rope broke while we were bungee jumping—"

"hiss----"

Upon hearing this, Yifei felt a chill run down her spine.

Normally, she would have scolded this guy for worrying unnecessarily, but now—

Zeng Xiaoxian's jinx is quite uncanny. He said, "If only time could stop here forever," and while time didn't stop, the Ferris wheel did.

Wait, why does he wish time could stand still here?

Yifei shook her head. She vaguely sensed something, but she was too dizzy to think about it carefully.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"

Zeng Xiaoxian laboriously stretched out his arm and nudged the silent Yi Fei.

"no."

Yifei rested her head on Zeng Xiaoxian's shoulder. Although the two of them were hot and sticky together, their body temperature was only around 36 or 37 degrees Celsius, not much different from the temperature of the large iron cage.

"You don't look well. How about I smash the hatch?"

She had just stood up when she felt dizzy and her blood rushed to her head. She stumbled and almost fell into the cabin.

Seeing this, Xiao Xian quickly used his last bit of strength to steady her: "Grandma, I beg you, please calm down, stop fighting with yourself, and stop fighting with that door."

"and you----"

"I'm fine, I'm okay, I can hold on for at least another half hour."

Yifei didn't reply, she just stared at him expressionlessly.

"Okay, five minutes at most."

Xiao Xian pulled Yi Fei down to sit: "So you'll stay here with me for another five minutes. If I really do faint from the heat, you can still bang on the door then."

"So slow and indecisive."

Yifei pouted, but still obediently listened to Xiaoxian and stopped getting up to cause trouble.

Xiao Xian squinted and suddenly asked, "Yi Fei, if we land safely, what's the first thing you want to do?"

"Me? I don't really have anything I want to do most."

Yifei rubbed her hands together, her smile dangerous and deadly: "I just want to find the person in charge of this amusement park and have a good heart-to-heart talk—that's all!"

"All right."

Zeng Xiaoxian paused, then suddenly grabbed Yifei's hands and said, "Yifei, if we manage to land safely, can you grant me a request?"

Yifei raised an eyebrow, feeling inexplicably nervous: "What request? Tell me."

Xiao Xian swallowed hard, as if swallowing a razor blade. He said in a trembling voice, "If we manage to get off the Ferris wheel alive, from now on—when we go out together again, can we avoid roller coasters and other thrilling rides?"

Yifei: (————)

She gritted her teeth and asked, "That's it?"

Xiaoxian nodded emphatically: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I think roller coasters are scarier."

"I'll never forget that old man's dentures!"

He looked at Yifei with hopeful eyes: "So, can you grant me this tiny, tiny request?"

Yifei fell silent.

Although Zeng Xiaoxian's request was reasonable, for some reason, she suddenly felt her fists were hard and she really wanted to hit someone.

"good!"

Yifei said, barely suppressing her anger.

Zeng Xiaoxian let out a satisfied sigh: "In that case, I have no regrets."

As he spoke, he pressed his head against the glass and slowly closed his eyes.

"Zeng Xiaoxian!"

Upon seeing this, Yifei's heart stopped. Without thinking, she pulled Zeng Xiaoxian into her arms and shook him desperately.

"Zeng Xiaoxian! Zeng Xiaoxian, wake up, Zeng Xiaoxian!!"

"Zeng Xiaoxian!!!"

"Um—I suddenly remembered that I seem to have left some last words."

Zeng Xiaoxian slightly opened one eye and said with a weak, sly smile, "How about we do it again?"

Yifei's worried expression immediately collapsed.

Why does she feel like she's been played by this bitch?

Before Yifei could react, Xiaoxian began to deliver his "last words": "Ah, I recall running in the sunset that day, it was my lost youth."

"A person's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back on his past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor be ashamed of having accomplished nothing."

"If God gave me another chance, I would say: I have no regrets about my life."

"Ah! All of this was the choice of Steins;Gate!"

Yifei was exasperated: "Zeng Xiaoxian, are you out of your mind? What kind of nonsense is this? A bunch of awful jokes!"

I think so too.

Nanfeng strongly agrees with this.

Upon hearing Nanfeng's words, Yifei felt as if she had found a comrade-in-arms. She puffed out her chest and said, "You see, I'm not the only one who thinks your jokes are terrible. Nanfeng thinks so too."

"cut."

Xiao Xian pouted: "South Wind—"

The two suddenly stopped, their muddled minds jolted awake, and they finally realized what had happened.

"south wind?!!"

Yifei and Xiaoxian exclaimed in astonishment, completely baffled as to how Nanfeng's voice could suddenly appear here.

The two exchanged a glance, confirming that the other had also heard Nanfeng's voice, and that they were not the only ones hallucinating due to heatstroke.

This is truly bizarre.

They were now more than seventy meters in the air. No matter how loudly Nanfeng roared, he couldn't possibly make his voice so clear and distinct, as if he were talking right next to their ears.

This thing didn't fly into the sky, did it?!

Yifei and Xiaoxian opened their eyes wide and looked around. Seeing no trace of Nanfeng, they were unsure whether to relax or become even more tense.

"What the hell? Nanfeng, how did you do that?"

Yifei patted her groggy head: "Could this be the legendary telepathic communication?"

She cursed and muttered, "Damn it! I knew the old man had some hidden skills he hadn't taught me!"

"A voice transmission over a thousand miles?!"

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He exclaimed in astonishment, "This is not scientific!"

"That's scientific."

Nanfeng's cheerful voice came from above the two of them: "Look up."

Yifei and Xiaoxian looked up blankly.

Actually, I understand that there are so few right people.

[To grow old together]

That's more important than anything else!

【————】

As the familiar background music played, four large, modified, bright yellow drones slowly descended from above the two people and finally hovered outside the wheel wells.

Nanfeng's cheerful voice echoed through the lead drone, reaching an altitude of over seventy meters: "Winner winner, chicken dinner tonight! Anyone need an airdrop?"

"I think you might need legal aid. As the bravest man in Love Apartment, I can give you a 5% discount on your lawyer's fees."

Zhang Wei's sultry voice came from another drone.

Zhanbo shouted loudly, "Big sister, Teacher Zeng, we're here!"

Youyou pressed on, "How was it? Was our entrance spectacular enough? Was it unexpected enough?"

Upon seeing this, Xiaoxian and Yifei's eyes lit up. Like parched and cracked earth finally receiving the long-awaited rain, their mental state visibly improved.

"You bunch of bastards—"

Yifei laughed and scolded, "Turn off the background music first, it's so loud I can't hear what you're saying."

"oh."

Zhanbo responded and silently turned off the music.

"Great, you're finally here!"

Zeng Xiaoxian, who had initially been in the mood for being cheeky and making jokes, instantly switched to a whiny, whiny voice when he saw everyone arrive: "Why are you all so late? If you had been any later, I might have actually died after giving my last words!"

"Teacher Zeng, it hasn't even been an hour since I received your call."

"I don't care!"

Xiao Xian's tense heart finally relaxed, and he said cheekily, "As the saying goes, time drags on forever. If that's the case, one hour is equivalent to half a month!"

"Okay, okay."

Nanfeng, both amused and exasperated, comforted him, "No matter what, you two should move away from the window and watch our performance quietly, okay?"

"Performance?"

Yifei and Xiaoxian looked at each other, but still silently moved away.

Two drones silently adjusted their positions and eventually hovered on either side of the Ferris wheel cabin, outside the pitifully small observation windows.

Yu Mo and Wan Yu's voices rang out at the same time.

"Flying Swallow No. 1 is ready."

"Feiyan-2 is ready."

"Flying Swallow 1? Flying Swallow 2?"

Yifei and Xiaoxian looked at each other in confusion. Were these guys planning to treat them like little monsters?

The drone seemed to be filled with the noise of someone fighting over the microphone. Soon, Youyou suppressed her excitement and began to issue commands.

"Follow my orders!"

"Three! Two!—!"

"fire!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

With a command from Youyou, two modified drones aimed at the windows and launched them into the sweltering cabin with rapid cooling spray.

To Yifei and Xiaoxian's delight, the temperature inside the cabin dropped significantly in less than three minutes.

"Ah~~~"

The two let out happy moans.

"alright."

Zhanbo reminded them, keeping track of the time: "If the temperature inside the cabin drops too much in a short period of time, my sister and Teacher Zeng's bodies won't be able to adapt."

Youyou hurriedly gave the order: "Flying Swallow One, Flying Swallow Two, drop the ammunition, Red Spider and Chao Fantian, prepare to stand by."

Mika: "Red Spider received."

Curry Sauce: "Received 'Making a Scene'."

Upon hearing this, Yifei twitched the corner of her mouth.

Well, the GUTS team just left, and now the Transformers are here.

Having completed their mission, the two drones slowly descended from the sky, while the other two drones moved forward gradually.

Youyou shouted, "Sister Yifei, Teacher Zeng, you can go to those two windows now and open your mouths wide open."

"what?"

The two exchanged a glance, completely bewildered, and followed Youyou's instructions.

"Yifei————"

Zeng Xiaoxian stared wide-eyed at the window, his expression odd, and said, "Why do I feel like our current position is a little bit lewd?"

Yifei nodded. The two of them now looked like a pair of huskies with their mouths wide open and tongues sticking out.

"All hands on deck!"

"Three! Two!—!"

"fire!"

At the same time, Mika and Curry Sauce shouted in unison.

"Watch me spray you all to death with a mouthful of salt soda!"

Sizzle————

Two thin streams of salt water shot through the window and directly into Yifei and Xiaoxian's throats, replenishing their most precious water, salt, and electrolytes.

That's right —

This looks just like a husky drinking water!!!

Yifei and Xiaoxian were thinking the same thing to each other.
