The entire cabin was suddenly filled with red warning lights, and the aircraft began to shake violently. Even though Lin Yi and the others tried their best to stabilize themselves, they were still tossed around by the intense turbulence of the transport plane.
"Activate the backup power system!" Pachy, seated in the pilot's seat, remained relatively calm and quickly pressed the button to engage the auxiliary engine.
The transport plane continued to tremble violently, buffeted by the high-altitude winds, causing it to tilt dangerously to one side. Everyone felt unsteady on their feet.
"Everyone! Use your Psychic Power to stabilize the aircraft!" Lin Yi shouted. If this transport plane crashed, he would suffer tremendous losses, and he had no idea where it might fall.
In the next moment, a ripple spread through the air around Lin Yi, causing it to undulate like water. The entire aircraft seemed to encounter something soft, stabilizing somewhat and reducing its violent shaking.
Instantly, Lin Yi felt as if countless sharp needles were stabbing into his mind, causing excruciating pain. This was the result of a massive impact on his Psychic Power; even with Lin Yi's immense strength, he found it difficult to withstand such force.
"Follow my Psychic Power's trajectory and stabilize the aircraft quickly!" Lin Yi managed to squeeze out these words through gritted teeth, his face pale and beads of sweat rolling down.
"Boss, hold on!" Douglas shouted. His Psychic Power surged forth, tightly anchoring the entire aircraft along Lin Yi's Psychic Power trajectory.
Douglas's Psychic Power was second only to Lin Yi's, reaching the peak of Star Level 8. However, his utilization of Psychic Power was definitely superior to Lin Yi's.
With Douglas joining in, the aircraft quickly righted itself and nearly stopped shaking altogether. But that wasn't enough; the rest of the team followed suit with their own Psychic Powers!
In the War God Squad, although everyone's Psychic Power varied in strength, even the weakest among them had at least Star Level 1 Psychic Power. Once they all contributed their powers, they quickly compensated for the failing engines!
"Hold on for thirty seconds; the backup engine needs time to warm up!" Pachy’s fingers flew over the control screen, sweat pouring down his face. After all, if the Giant Transporter really fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thirty seconds felt agonizingly long for everyone. They not only had to stabilize the weight of the Transmitter but also contend with the fierce impact from high-altitude winds. The force of these winds was even more challenging than stabilizing the Transmitter itself; every second felt like a thousand needles piercing their minds.
Those capable bore more responsibility. Lin Yi's Psychic Power was nearly as vast as all of theirs combined. At this moment, he bore the greatest burden. After all, everyone’s Psychic Power relied on his as a foundation before acting on the aircraft. Thus, he faced relentless waves of immense force that were torturous beyond words.
Only ten seconds had passed, yet he already felt utterly drained. Under nature’s might, even someone who stood at the pinnacle of combat power like him felt insignificant.
"Fifteen seconds left!" Pachy observed everyone's expressions and felt anxious inside. If anything else went wrong, those aboard this transport plane might truly perish before their mission even began!
Lin Yi was desperately adjusting his state, hoping that his Psychic Power could become a bit stronger. According to his estimates, his Psychic Power was only at the mid-level of Nine Star Level, far from reaching the peak of the entire Nine Star Level!
A dull thud echoed through the air, and everyone saw a Mercenary collapse to the ground, clearly having fainted from excessive consumption of Psychic Power.
It seemed as if Pandora's Box had been opened; several weaker Mercenaries fell one after another, and this was just the beginning.
"Ten seconds!" Pachy announced, but as soon as he finished speaking, more Mercenaries fell to the ground. The strain of fully operating their Psychic Power was overwhelming, and the dizziness was too intense for even these formidable Mercenaries to bear!
"Nine!"
In an instant, more Mercenaries collapsed. Their strength was already at Five-Star combat level, definitely high-level Mercenaries!
"Eight!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" This time, even more Mercenaries fell. However, they still retained a sliver of clarity; they simply could not expend any more Psychic Power.
As these Mercenaries fell, the remaining ones felt even greater pressure. Lin Yi felt as if he were facing a raging storm alone, adrift and at risk of being dragged under at any moment.
"…"
"Three!"
Just as Pachy finished speaking, a series of thuds echoed throughout the Cabin. Out of eight hundred Mercenaries, fewer than a hundred remained standing! Lin Yi, Douglas, and others had veins bulging on their foreheads, their faces pale and on the verge of collapse!
"Two!"
Only thirty remained standing now; even Witerson II and others had already fallen!
"That's enough!" Pachy shouted. However, Lin Yi felt dizzy as if the world were spinning around him. Those brief thirty seconds felt more exhausting than the recent battle; his mind was blank, and even thinking about his own name felt painful.
"Bang!" Lin Yi withdrew the remaining Psychic Power, kneeling on one knee, not even wanting to lift his head. Although his mind was slowly clearing, the intense pain still tormented him.
The aircraft had stabilized, and in just thirty seconds, everyone felt as if they had walked through hell, unable to shake off the discomfort.
Fortunately, the Mercenaries had decent stamina. Although many had fainted, after refraining from using Psychic Power and enduring, many of them regained some color in their faces.
With the Transmitter no longer shaking, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, helping each other and working hard to recover their strength.
"Not good! Another high-level Undead Bird is coming!" Pachy, who was responsible for monitoring, seemed to be the most alert person at that moment. He saw several figures rapidly approaching on the monitor screen, covering a distance of nearly a kilometer in an instant!
"What? How many are coming?" Ordinary Undead Birds couldn't break through the Transmitter's defense system, but those High-Level Combat Power Undead Birds could.
However, since Undead Birds were generally small in size and had low intelligence, very few could evolve into High-Level Combat Power. If not for guidance, these Undead Birds might never reach a combat power above Five-Star!
"Four have broken through the defense line! Their strength is at least Eight Star Level! It seems they are really coming for us; we have exactly four engines!"
Pachy waved his hand and projected the video feed from the control panel into everyone's view. On the holographic display, four red shadows were approaching the aircraft at a terrifying speed!
"Descend! We must evade them!" Lin Yi immediately ordered; these Undead Birds were clearly on a suicide mission.
Pachy signaled and quickly adjusted the aircraft's nose, sending it hurtling downward at an almost vertical angle!
"We cannot let them catch up to us; this is clearly a suicide attack aimed at taking down our Transmitter and eliminating all of us at minimal cost!" Lin Yi, having regained some spirit, flashed to Pachy's side. Although his Psychic Power was severely depleted, he still had some physical strength left.
However, if he were to control Silver Soul or the Silver Soul Battle Blade now, it was likely that Silver Soul wouldn't even be able to leave its sheath.
Pachy nodded and opened the Transmitter's monitoring video. He soon discovered that the four Undead Birds had also lowered their altitude, with ordinary Undead Birds following behind them in droves.
"Activate Rocket Booster!" After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yi immediately commanded.
"Alright!" Pachy showed some reluctance but quickly pressed a button hidden in a compartment.
“Rocket Booster is about to activate. Please return to your seats immediately and fasten your seatbelts. Adjust the pressure!” The automated system reminded everyone. This state of ultra-high-speed operation posed a significant challenge not only to the aircraft's structure but also to the passengers inside, who were enduring a form of torture under the extreme overload pressure. Even these physically robust Mercenaries found it hard to bear!
Everyone acted quickly; those who had fainted were pulled back into their seats by their companions, and the War God Suit itself had decent defensive capabilities, prompting everyone to activate its defense systems. However, there was uncertainty in everyone's minds about how effective this defense would be against the invisible pressure.
In the next moment, the aircraft suddenly shook violently. Just as everyone thought they had collided with an Undead Bird, they felt a tremendous force striking from the front, pressing all their bodies tightly against their seats.
Under the immense impact, it felt as if they were being crushed by a thousand-pound boulder, and even breathing required tremendous effort. Having just endured mental torment, they were now faced with physical suffering.
Those who had fainted had activated their helmet defenses to assist with breathing, but this state could only last for five minutes at most; after all, the War God Suit was designed for combat, not for defense.
The flight time of the Transmitter lasted barely a minute when Pachy noticed four more shadows rapidly approaching from below!
“They still have Eight-Star Combat Power Undead Birds!” Pachy shouted, his hands moving swiftly to control the Laser Beam for firing. However, in the thin air at high altitude, various clouds interfered with his shots, rendering them ineffective.
“We're going to collide!” Lin Yi exclaimed from the side, fully aware of the situation displayed on the screen; one of those four Undead Birds was as large as a cow!
As soon as he finished speaking, several explosive sounds erupted almost instantaneously. The entire aircraft felt as if it had been struck by cannon fire, nearly disintegrating!
“The engines have stalled!”
