Chapter 320: Chapter 24 Rhein’s Fall Chapter 320: Chapter 24 Rhein’s Fall Surface of the Earth.

Lee Ningning bit her lip, craning her neck to look at the silently bright Sky City, held aloft by thousands of blue “moons”.

She had been looking up like this for quite a while now.

Her neck was sore and she was tired.

But like everyone else, she couldn’t bear to lower her head, not wanting to look away for even a second…

Two hours ago, they could see everything clearly from the ground.

In the darkness, three tiny white dots leaped from an altitude of 20,000 meters, plunging toward the Rhine Sky City that had hung suspended for over 200 years.

At that moment, many people could hardly bear to close their eyes for fear that they would see three streaks of blood-red lasers vaporize the trio.

However!

Contrary to everyone’s expectations!

The three falling from the sky formed a straight line from top to bottom, diving straight down with no sign of the anti-air lasers!

At first, everyone thought they hadn’t reached the required altitude.

But as the falling height decreased and, due to the angle, they could hardly see the three figures anymore, cheers of jubilation erupted:

“They…

they did it!

They’ve breached it!

They’ve found a gap in the aerial defense net!

That young man was right!”

“It’s unbelievable, I really didn’t think what that young man said was true.

How did he know all this?

And so precisely, all three unharmed!”

“A miracle!

This is an unprecedented miracle!

Since Mrs.

Lee Cheng accidentally jumped through the gap in the aerial defense net over a decade ago, not a second person has made it through!

And now, three of them went in at once, increasing the odds of successfully finding the medication!”

“These are blessings from the heroic spirits above, our days of suffering are finally over…”

…

But then.

As time passed.

They tracked every corner of Sky City with their telescopes, but noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

All was calm.

As if nothing had happened.

Everyone understood that it would take some time to find the medication and parachute back after entering.

But still…they couldn’t help worrying about them.

And when one thought about Lee Ningning’s mother who, although she had also jumped into Sky City, ultimately never made it back down, presumably meeting her demise within the city.

The mood of the crowd grew increasingly somber, their confidence waning.

Er Zhuzi, his palms sweaty, swallowed hard and rubbed his sore neck while looking up:@@novelbin@@

“Brother Lian and Ah Zhuang…

They aren’t going to…

Nothing’s happened to them, right?

Can they really make it?”

“I think they can.” San Pang nodded firmly.

“I think so too.” Lee Ningning stared at the sky, her tone decisive.

She turned to Er Zhuzi:

“If Lin Xian could lead them through the aerial defense gap on their first attempt, it means all the information he provided was correct.

Lin Xian was clear, security within Rhine Sky City is very lax, no one would pay attention to us once we’re in…

So it must succeed.”

Lee Ningning clenched her fists, biting her lip:

“It must, I believe in Lin Xian.”

Sigh…

Er Zhuzi sighed, shaking his head:

“Ningning, you’re still too naive.

It was your first time seeing Lin Xian, how could you trust him so much?

Don’t forget, he had his own conditions and objectives for bringing Brother Lian and Ah Zhuang, insisting they first visit the museum with him.”

“I really trust him.”

Lee Ningning looked at Er Zhuzi, her gaze unwavering:

“Lin Xian…

He is definitely a man of his word.”

Boom!!!!!!!!

Suddenly.

A loud bang came from the sky!

Upon hearing it, everyone looked up, but immediately squinted their eyes—

The fusion engine at the very center of Rhine Sky City exploded with a terrific boom!

The intense light from the explosion lit up the entire night sky!

Bright as day!

And just as they hadn’t even started to react in shock…

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

The four fusion engines adjacent also exploded in succession!

Four blue suns twinkled in the night sky, the explosion sending shards of metal scattering into the horizon, turning into shimmering shooting stars.

Lee Ningning opened her eyes wide in disbelief at the unfolding scene.

Rhine Sky City…

This colossal structure that had floated in the sky for 200 years, always so stable, always so supreme.

It seemed like an eternal deity, hanging motionless in the sky, indifferent to the world below.

But now, it was exploding!

Amidst the cries of astonishment…

Dozens more fusion engines burst, one after another, blooming like a series of resplendent blue fireworks 2,000 meters above the ground!

Then, like dominos falling, the explosions linked up, quickly spreading outward from the first engine at the center!

Dozens,

Hundreds,

Thousands!

Thousands of splendid fusion fireworks turned the entire sky a crystal blue!

The thousands of “moons” that hung in the night sky all turned into “suns” at that moment, the blue fireworks reflecting in people’s eyes, like a shattered Milky Way, twinkling mosaics…

“Sister!

Look at the pretty fireworks!”

Below Lee Ningning, a little girl with black pustules oozing on her face cheered and yanked at the hem of Lee Ningning’s clothes, giggling and jumping around.

“Yes…”

Lee Ningning bent down, picked up the little girl, and together, they gazed at the most dazzling fireworks the world had ever seen.

At that moment, Lee Ningning realized everything.

She looked at her right pinky finger, as if it still hooked onto that warm large hand, that gentle touch seemed to linger still, hooking her little finger, telling her it would destroy this city for her.
