Chapter 634

Ning Chen acted decisively and swiftly; after boarding the helicopter, he unexpectedly discovered a pilot in the front cockpit seat.

He had not expected the system to be so considerate; while preparing the helicopter for him, it had even thoughtfully prepared a pilot.

The pilot did not appear to be a fabricated character; upon seeing Ning Chen take his seat, he solemnly greeted him: "Boss, you have arrived."

Ning Chen paused for a moment, then nodded, keeping his head down as he fiddled with the seatbelt he needed to fasten.

The seat was very comfortable; Ning Chen chose not to close the door, and as the helicopter flew through the air, he could feel the cool wind blowing in from the half-open space.

The helicopter quickly ascended; the pilot appeared to be a highly experienced professional and, after takeoff, did not continue communicating with Ning Chen.

The helicopter slowly rose into the clouds, and the moment it reached the cloud layer, Ning Chen witnessed a scene he had never seen before.

This feeling was different from sitting on a plane; the view from a plane is always separated by a layer of thick glass, but when Ning Chen sat in the helicopter, he could feel that all the scenery around him was within reach.

This was undoubtedly a beautiful sight.

Although Ning Chen had little mood to appreciate it at the moment, many viewers in the live broadcast room were already boiling with excitement.

"I truly never expected that the streamer I have followed for so long is actually a hidden wealthy man!"

"Fans follow their idols, soaking up the wealth! When can I also sit in a private helicopter?"

"This is a scene I have never seen before; I checked the time, and it is already past five in the afternoon; a little later, we will be able to see the sunset glow."

"I don't know how the clouds are over there on the streamer's side, but the clouds over here are especially beautiful! Red and bright!"

After someone started, other viewers quickly began sharing; they posted pictures of the beautiful cloud layers they had casually recorded into the live broadcast room, and for a moment, the room was filled exclusively with pictures of clouds.

They shared the beautiful scenery they had recorded, with no one adding any unnecessary nonsense; such a comment atmosphere is rare in any live broadcast room, let alone in a check-in type of live broadcast room.

479. The Encirclement

The heat of the live broadcast room grew higher and higher, but Ning Chen did not know this, because he had already sensed the thing chasing up from behind.

Those things did not exist on the ground; like his helicopter, they were completely airborne, but their speed was faster than the helicopter Ning Chen was sitting in.

But Ning Chen was not nervous; he sat in his seat, frequently turning his head to look back.

Behind the helicopter was a very small viewing window that allowed one to see the situation behind, but from inside this viewing window, the type of flying object the Gulf Family was chasing with could not be clearly seen.

However, Ning Chen guessed that perhaps it was the same type as the helicopter he was riding.

In his perception, although he could clearly know how many meters the object tracking behind was from him, he could not precisely know what that thing actually was.

Ning Chen guessed it might be related to his current low level; if he could successfully clean up the Gulf Family, he would have more time to check in.

Only by checking in can one receive task rewards.

The system had installed a very small radar on Ning Chen's private helicopter; the radar was installed inside the plane, and between the pilot's and Ning Chen's seats was a display panel capable of showing flying objects appearing around them on the panel.

However, the radar's detection range was not as wide as the range Ning Chen used his perception to detect, so when red dots constantly approaching them appeared on the display panel, the pilot noticed immediately.

The pilot initially thought they were some birds and did not pay much attention, but upon subsequently discovering that those red dots were heading straight toward them, he finally realized something was wrong.

The pilot turned his face to look at Ning Chen, who was still acting calm and composed, and anxiously warned: "Boss, look here; there should be something following us behind."

The pilot asked Ning Chen to look at the display panel on the plane, but Ning Chen only glanced at it once before withdrawing his gaze.

Ning Chen spoke indifferently: "Rest assured, I knew long ago. Those things pose no threat to us; you just need to fly the plane with confidence."

The pilot was originally somewhat panicked, after all, private helicopters being air-raided is not a rare occurrence, but when he heard Ning Chen speak these words in a calm tone, he involuntarily relaxed.

The pilot nodded: "You are right; it should be birds or something like that, right?"

Ning Chen did not answer the pilot's question; at this moment, the flying objects behind were still separated by a layer of distance from them.

And the range of the "Object Manipulation" skill was too narrow; if those flying objects did not reach the side of the helicopter where Ning Chen was, he had absolutely no way to deal with them.

Following behind Ning Chen were a full five helicopters; since the Gulf Family's helicopters are mostly used for combat, their speed is also very fast.

It would not take much time to overtake the helicopter Ning Chen was in.

What Ning Chen worried about most was those fighter jets attacking him from an extremely long distance; although he possessed the "Object Manipulation" skill, he might not be able to control so many bullets.

And Ning Chen was currently at a high altitude; if this helicopter were attacked, there would be a risk of crashing.

So Ning Chen quickly spoke: "Try to fly as fast as possible."

After Ning Chen finished saying this, the pilot realized something.

Perhaps what was following them was not so-called birds, but some of Ning Chen's enemies coming to seek revenge.

The pilot's hands began to tremble; he had been a pilot for over ten years, during which many wealthy young people had hired him to fly planes, but none had encountered people coming to seek revenge halfway through the journey.

As a result, the pilot's movements became somewhat shaky: "Are... are you sure those people following us are actually here to seek revenge on you?"

Hearing this, Ning Chen frowned irritably.

The word "seeking revenge" was indeed correct; the people of the Gulf Family were indeed extremely wary of him and had always wanted to eliminate him.

But telling the pilot the facts completely and accurately would instead cause the pilot to panic; what Ning Chen needed most now was to arrive at the check-in location as soon as possible while shaking off all five fighter jets behind him.

So Ning Chen, with a calm expression, said very naturally: "What enemies? I have not formed any grudges with anyone; you just need to increase the flight speed; the rest is nothing for you to worry about."

Upon hearing this, even if the pilot wanted to ask, he could only hold his words back.

Ning Chen had been secretly estimating how far the plane behind was from him, and the results he obtained were often disappointing.

If this trend continued, the planes sent by the Gulf Family would completely catch up with them within fifteen minutes.

Furthermore, the speed limit of Ning Chen's private plane was not as high as the private helicopters dispatched by the Gulf Family, but fortunately, Ning Chen had a backup plan prepared.

Compared to private planes, the planes dispatched by the Gulf Family had significant improvements in both speed and defense; each plane could only seat one person, but these people could communicate with each other using the same microphone.

"This is Special Fighter 1325; our distance to the target is 500 meters... 490 meters... 460 meters..."

"This is Special Fighter 1528; by the way, Boss, should we just shoot directly at Ning Chen's helicopter? Destroying the plane and killing the person would be more trouble-free."

"1629, don't be stupid; Brother Luo Wen wants to capture him alive; this Ning Chen has already angered Brother Luo Wen; if we do not capture him alive and bring him back, I guess Brother Luo Wen will be furious with us again."

"This is Special Fighter 2813... by the way, what should we do if we cannot catch Ning Chen? That guy is always cunning; I'm afraid that with so many of our planes, we still won't be able to deal with him."

"Are you idiots?!" 1629 frowned and loudly scolded the others, "The opponent is just an ordinary private plane; whether in terms of quantity or equipment, we completely suppress the opponent! You tell me you can't catch the opponent, and you'll go back and accept punishment on your own!"

1629's words exerted absolute leadership among these people; after 1629 spoke these words, no one dared to contradict again.

The fighter jets were getting closer and closer to Ning Chen; Ning Chen turned to look out the window, and outside the window there was still only a sea of clouds.

Ning Chen could not see what was tracking him through the viewfinder, yet he was fully confident.

300 meters... 290 meters... 280 meters...

100 meters... 90 meters... 60 meters...

Ning Chen, timing the distance, looked back at the viewfinder at sixty meters and could already see the Gulf Family's special operations aircraft.

480. The trolls in the live stream.

At this moment, the live stream had not yet touched on gunfights or other such content, so the broadcast continued as usual.

When those viewers saw several fighter jets following the private plane Ning Chen was in, they all shifted their perspective.

Some thought the five planes behind were hired by Ning Chen to protect him, given his vast wealth, but more believed the planes following were actually in pursuit.

After all, the fighter jets behind Ning Chen's private plane looked aggressive, not at all like they were there to protect him.

The audience immediately spawned many guesses, but the vast majority chose to watch the show.

"I'm new here. What exactly has this check-in streamer gotten himself into? Surely they wouldn't send five planes to hunt him down?"

"Come to think of it, I actually find it a bit fake. What, eagles catching chicks? Whether those five helicopters behind are real or not is still uncertain!"

"You all say this streamer is a check-in streamer, but I, an old fan, will clarify here: actually, this is a streamer taking us to explore military secrets."

"What the heck? Just had a meal, and now he's being hunted? Interesting though, let's see who wins!"

Most in the live stream were there for entertainment, and because Ning Chen had long neglected managing the stream, trolls flooded in from everywhere, growing in number.

These trolls barely glanced at the screen before starting to type on their keyboards.

"What check-in streamer? So disgusting. Some people would sell their faces for money. Forget those five planes behind; I think even the plane the streamer is sitting in is fake!"

"If you ask me, this is definitely another hype cycle, fooling only the stupid things in the live stream. With effects like this, who can be fooled?"

"Ha! If there are really fighter jets behind the streamer trying to hunt him down, I'll eat the computer in front of me! Too fake!"

People kept posting malicious comments, and Ning Chen's fans kept clarifying, but those trolls simply did not care about the truth; all they wanted was the commotion.

Once the live stream's popularity surged, many passersby came out of curiosity; with the traffic so high, the Shibi Society, which holds a place in these fields, would inevitably appear.

Soon, a tycoon specializing in special effects spoke up.

"This cannot be fake. Let me put it this way: if this were really special effects, it would be even more impressive than five fighter jets actually following the streamer! If special effects production could reach such a level, this streamer would surely be fought over by international special effects companies!"

Upon hearing this, those trolls fell silent, and some who simply did not wish to participate in such murky comments quietly watched the scene Ning Chen was presenting.

By now, the sun was nearly setting, so a phenomenon resembling burning clouds finally appeared on the horizon.

However, Ning Chen was not particularly close to those clouds at this moment; at such a time, it seemed he was avoiding something, deliberately descending a distance from above the cloud layer.

At this point, those viewers still did not know Ning Chen's intention, until they saw the five fighter jets behind him approaching Ning Chen from five angles to encircle him.

The pilot instantly panicked; although he had rich flying experience, he had never seen such a scene before.
