Lu Feng’s wrist moved and An Zhe understood what this meant. He had annoyed the colonel so he obediently let go. Then his hand was held by the colonel.

CHAPTER 63

On the way, they saw the wreckage of a plane. The shape of the plane was exactly the same as the one Lu Feng flew in. An Zhe estimated the direction and this plane should be the one that crashed before Lu Feng. He had witnessed it fall.

After three or four plane crashes, he no longer saw the base’s planes appear in the sky. Presumably, the base had also noticed this strange change and no longer sent fighter planes out. Still, this plane was in a better condition than Lu Feng’s one. It didn’t explode and everything was well-preserved apart from disfigurement from the damage.

Lu Feng walked over and removed the black box of the plane. He hesitated for a moment before climbing through the cracked cabin door that had bite marks on the edge.

A monster had eaten the pilot’s body. The blood-stained clothes had dried and bones were scattered around the cockpit. The skull was rolled under the console, of which only half was left. There were sharp tooth marks on the edge.

An Zhe also followed him in. There was a moment when Lu Feng wanted An Zhe to leave so he wouldn’t be scared by this scene. Then he saw An Zhe’s calm eyes and realized that An Zhe wouldn’t be scared of human remains.

Below the console was a flight manual. The flight manual was a pilot’s reference book and recorded the basic operating steps, instrument usage and various solutions to unexpected situations.

Lu Feng reached out and grabbed the flight manual. An unknown change had occurred in the manual. The black handwriting had penetrated deeply into the paper while tiny black tentacles stretched out from the colour, making all the writing on the paper distorted in strange ways, like some type of evil symbol.

An Zhe looked at the paper and struggled to identify the characters. This page was about various types of engine failures. This was how he knew that the plane had crashed because of an engine failure. Until the moment the plane crashed, the pilot was still looking at the manual to find a possible solution. Then the moment the plane crashed, the manual fell to the ground and people died.

After being pulled out of the plane by Lu Feng and set on the ground, An Zhe heard Lu Feng say, “The plane I was in also crashed because of an engine failure.”

An Zhe frowned.

Lu Feng continued, “However, there were problems with other parts.”

An Zhe wondered, “Is there a problem with the manufacturing?”

“The PJ fighter planes have performed flight missions many times and have also undergone maintenance before takeoff.”

They went ahead to where Xi Bei and the old man was waiting.
