Chapter 2: Can You Speak Human Language?
nGOR Chapter 2: Can You Speak Human Language?
nAuthor’s note: An early explanation here: This book’s genre is not online gaming! Not infinite element genre 1! And most certainly not transmigration to another world! All I can say is that this is a fantasy novel set amidst a modern backdrop… As for the specifics, you will know once you read on.
nOnce again, this is not an online gaming novel!
n
nSevere vibrations, followed by a long period of darkness filled state of unconsciousness.
nAfter that, light began to appear bit by bit and Chen Xiaolian’s consciousness seemed to be returning. However, he was only slightly conscious.
nForcing himself to open his eyes, he saw what appeared to be flashes of pictures… appearing intermittently as though they were fragments.
nIt seemed as though… they landed…
nThe cockpit’s door was opened…
nThe “I wish you good luck” pilot came out…
nChen Xiaolian’s mind and consciousness was still in a state of disorder and he could not maintain a clear head.
nThe one clear thought he had was… I, probably did not die, right?
nHowever, he then ‘saw’ a fragment of flashing pictures that did not seem right!
nThe “I wish you good luck” pilot suddenly tore off the pilot uniform that he was wearing.
nThat was right, he tore it off!
nIt was as though what he tore off was not clothes, but mere paper!
nThat cannot be right! How could normal people have that much strength? Clothes may not seem too durable, however, have you tried to tear it off before? Could you simply tear it off as though it is mere paper?
nAfter that…
nThe buzzing sound within Chen Xiaolian’s ears have yet to cease, causing him to only be able to catch part of what was being said.
nThe other person seemed to be shouting…
n“Begin formation of teams…”
n“… equipment… pathfinder…”
n“… dungeon quest…”
nChen Xiaolian finally became certain of one thing, he must be dreaming!
nHe played too much games and now his mind is in a state of confusion, right?
nThen… he thoroughly fainted, again.
n…
n“Has the team formation been completed?”
n“It seems as though a few had been disconnected.”
n“What is going on? Disconnected just after arrival? Were the damage values for the impact timing not properly calculated? Once we go back, we will have to go pick a fight with those people from the Development Team.”
n“They were just unlucky, wasting such a precious spot in the closed beta.”
n“En, remember this BUG. When we return, we will let the Development Team handle it. The damage values from the time of impact and entering needs to be recalculated.”
nThe sounds gradually faded away…
nNaturally, Chen Xiaolian was unable to hear those voices…
n…
nWaking up after a long period of time, Chen Xiaolian saw that his surroundings were a mess.
nThe aircraft’s interior was completely different from before, the luggage compartments were in disarray, with no small number of luggage compartment’s lid falling off and boxes having fallen out of it. The passengers’ seats were no different, many of them having being displaced.
nAs for Chen Xiaolian, he had at some undetermined time left his seat and was lying down on the floor. His face rested upon the cold floors of the airplane, while his body was somewhat aching.
nHe forcibly propped up his body.
nHe could also hear “pipipapa” crackling sounds. Who knows where the sparks were being emitted from.
nThe first thought that came to his mind was… I am not dead!
nThe second thought that came to his mind was… Damn!
nHe first inspected his whole body while the buzzing sound in his ears slowly ceased.
nEn, his entire body was still intact and he was not suffering from a broken leg or missing an arm.
nThis was obviously a plane crash and yet he had been… very fortunate. From an external point of view, it appeared that he was not suffering from any serious injuries. At the moment, Chen Xiaolian was temporarily not considering matters such as internal bleeding.
nTruth be told, his mind was still in a state of confusion, panic and shock…
nFinally, he heard a gentle sound of crying coming out from beside him.
nTurning around, he first spied a pair of small and slender white legs. Only one leather shoe was worn on one of them. The other shoe seemed to have been lost?
nThe Korean loli sat in a corner, surrounded by fallen passenger seats. The little loli’s hair was dishevelled as she sat there, crying helplessly.
nShe shouted out helplessly in a soft voice: “ottoke” “ottoke”.
nChen Xiaolian who had watched no small amount of Korean variety shows was able to generally figure out that those words meant ‘what do I do’.
nChen Xiaolian tried to prop up his body, putting in great effort to stand up. He found that he was still able to exert some strength; with the exception of some sore areas and his legs feeling weak, there were no other big problems. As for his weak legs, it was probably due to the fear he was feeling.
nThe passenger compartment was in a broken state.
nOn the right hand side, a huge hole was torn off and the door of the passenger compartment had disappeared to who knows where.
nAbove his head, a hole was ripped out, creating a form of skylight. The ripped out metals hung down, flashing every now and again.
nChen Xiaolian’s instinct told him that something was amiss. However, he was temporarily unable to understand what exactly was amiss.
nHe subconsciously shouted out. “Is there anyone here?”
nWell, he had in fact wanted to directly shout “help”. However, for some unknown reason, he did not.
nHaving said that, it was not that strange. After all, how many chances are there for a normal person to shout out the word “help”?
n“Are you all right?”
nChen Xiaolian shouted out towards the little loli stuck inside the mass of passenger seats but she showed no reaction to him at all. Her eyes were filled with shock and she continued muttering in panic. “Ottoke, ottoke.”
nChen Xiaolian took a deep breath and struggled to lift away one of the passenger seat beside the little loli. He did not have much strength and had to attempt this action several times before succeeding.
n“Quickly get out!” Chen Xiaolian extended his hand out to the little girl. The girl looked at him but remained motionless. Chen Xiaolian chose to simply move over and used his hand to grab her wrist, then pulled her over by force.
n“Get out of here!” His words were spoken using Chinese, without consideration of whether the little loli could understand. “Get out of here, out! Go outside!”
nChen Xiaolian pulled the Korean girl out and pointed towards the torn out section of the passenger compartment.
nHe too tried moving outside.
n“Is there anyone here? Anybody??! {ANYBODY}??!!”
nChen Xiaolian used both Chinese and English as he shouted out.
nHis instinct led him to start looking for crewmembers of the airplane. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaolian found that the older of the two flight attendants, presumably the chief attendant had disappeared. As for the younger flight attendant with beautiful legs, she was still seated at her spot, with her head tilted to the side. It was unknown if she was already dead or only unconscious.
nThe cockpit door was… open!
nFrom his standpoint, he was coincidentally able to observe that the cockpit was empty!
nThis discovery caused Chen Xiaolian’s heart to pound with anger.
nThe crewmembers had run off and disregarded him, a passenger?
nHe then moved to the back to look around. (First Class passenger compartment is at the front and Economy Class is at the back.)
nHis discovery there caused Chen Xiaolian’s heart to sink!
nHe finally realized why he felt that something was amiss!
nThe entire passenger compartment was… E.M.P.T.Y! Empty!
nMany of the passenger seats have been turned upside down, however…
nAll of the passengers, all of them… were gone!
nThis discovery left Chen Xiaolian stunned for several seconds!
nWhen he was boarding the airplane, he recalled that it was filled to capacity! At the very least, there should be a hundred people here, right?
nBut now…
nChen Xiaolian looked at himself, then looked towards the little Korean loli who only knew how to cry and shout out “ottoke”.
nOh, there is also the unconscious flight attendant with beautiful legs…
nEveryone else is gone?!!
nAll of them gone?!
nThis realization caused Chen Xiaolian to be frozen on the spot as his heart felt as though it had turned cold!
nThis… the people have already been rescued by the relief team? And left? Nobody cared about me?!!
nFor a moment, he felt an impulse to let out a string of curses!
nThe little loli beside him suddenly screamed, waking Chen Xiaolian up from his reverie.
nScreaming in fear, the little loli’s body turned soft. She held up her fingers to point at a spot on the passenger compartment.
nChen Xiaolian looked in the pointed direction and found himself becoming weak as well.
nIt was a… person. To be precise, it was a… corpse.
n…
nIt must be one of the passengers.
nHe was truly unlucky. Still seated on the passenger seat, his neck was turned to the side. Judging by the extent to which his neck was twisted, his death was pretty much confirmed.
nHe was wearing a suit, giving off the impression that he was a businessperson.
nBoth his face and body were painted with blood.
nHowever, Chen Xiaolian still worked up his courage to move towards him and check. He wanted to make sure that the man was no longer breathing.
nHe was still feeling uncertain as to how to deal with this. However, at this moment, something happened to the corpse that he had come in contact with. Something fell off the corpse’s hand and rolled over towards Chen Xiaolian’s feet.
nThis is a…
nMetallic sphere.
nIt was round with a very smooth surface, seemingly no different from an ordinary steel marble. As for its size, it was as big as an egg.
nChen Xiaolian subconsciously picked it up with his hand and examined it, but could not identify what it was. All he felt was that it was slightly heavy.
nJust as he was feeling confused, a sound came from behind.
n“{Help}…”
nIt was in English.
nChen Xiaolian turned back and saw that the flight attendant with beautiful legs had regained consciousness. Her body had fallen off her seat, seemingly incapable of standing up. She could only extend her hand outwards and helplessly shout “{help}”.
nChen Xiaolian placed the metal sphere into his pocket and ran over to help the flight attendant get up. The flight attendant with beautiful legs seemed thin; however, at that moment she was too feeble to support herself. She could only lean heavily onto Chen Xiaolian, her entire weight bearing down on him. The young Chen Xiaolian felt as though he may not be able to support her weight. He forcibly dragged her outside.
n“{Areyouok}?”
nHowever, the other party seemed to be confused. She looked at Chen Xiaolian before speaking a word out immediately.
nChen Xiaolian was unable to understand, but was able to discern the pronunciation of the other party.
n“Tasukete.”
nIt sounded like… Japanese?
nIn the next moment, Chen Xiaolian felt an impulse to puke out blood.
nIn the aircraft, only three of them remained alive!
nBesides him, there was a Korean loli and a Japanese woman?
nNeither of them can speak Chinese!!!
