Chapter: 2818

This lightning flashed down to the top of the western mountain, immediately turning several soldiers inside the defensive fortifications into charcoal!

Following closely behind was a deafening thunderclap!

The thunderous sound echoed through the entire valley, as if it were a rocket explosion.

On the plane, Han Guang Yao was startled by this sudden boom and exclaimed: "What's going on?! How could there be a thunderstorm in the Middle East during winter?!

Skydiving expert Vasili, due to professional requirements, is also a meteorologist himself. He looked at his colleagues with a bewildered expression and muttered: "This isn't scientific! I specifically retrieved today's satellite weather chart and the current weather status, and it's simply impossible for rain clouds to form under these conditions!"

The flight crew was equally perplexed.

These pilots were extremely experienced and had a deep understanding of various weather phenomena. They could tell what was going on just by looking at the situation.

But no one expected this kind of sudden rain shower in winter. It was as if the stormy weather was conjured up out of thin air!

The only one who knew about it was Chen Ze Kai, who heard a massive boom and felt his heart sink with reality! He knew that lightning bolt was caused by Ye Chen!

At this moment, all opposition soldiers, local villagers, even including Hé Zhì Qiū among the 8 hostages, were equally startled by this sudden thunderbolt!

For these people, the magnitude of this sudden thunderbolt was almost unprecedented in their entire lifetime.

Many people's ears rang as a result of this thunderbolt, and those with slightly more fragile eardrums could feel intense pain transmitted from deep within their ear canals.

Aside from the captives, almost everyone else rushed out of their doors or turned around to focus their gaze on the Western Mountains, where the lightning strike had occurred. The few surviving soldiers at the top of the Western Mountains were also in a state of panic, reporting specific losses through communication equipment.

After hearing the news that one lightning bolt killed five soldiers, the entire opposition party was shocked from top to bottom.

They had never encountered such a terrifying thing before - one lightning bolt could kill five people. What kind of incredible power did this lightning bolt possess?

Most soldiers thought this was God's wrath, and many people immediately knelt on the ground, praying to seek forgiveness from God.

Unlike most soldiers with no cultural background, the leader of this armed opposition group, a knowledge-based individual who had attended military school, instantly realized why the Western Mountains' engineering works were struck by lightning. It must be because they are located at a higher elevation, producing an effect similar to a lightning rod.

Therefore, he immediately ordered all soldiers on the Eastern Mountains to hide inside the engineering works to avoid being hit again.

This further helped Ye Chen, as the soldiers on the Eastern Mountains received the message and hid inside their shelters, afraid to emerge and fear another lightning strike.

Just as the soldiers on the Eastern Mountains were hiding, others were all fixed on the Western side, shocked and stunned. Meanwhile, a faint figure descended from the eastern sky of the base at an extremely fast speed.

However, at this time, including the soldiers on the Eastern Mountains, everyone's attention was focused on the west, so no one noticed this figure flying by.

And that figure is none other than Ye Chen, jumping down from over 5,000 meters in the air!

Just as Ye Chen was falling at an extremely fast speed, his descent rate exceeded 50 meters per second.

Vasily, on the plane, stared at the data being transmitted back to the computer, his face pale as he said: "Ye's descent rate is too fast. He has less than 300 meters of altitude left, which is already below the safe minimum for opening a parachute, and it's likely to be deadly!"

Hanguoyao's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed: "Let Ye open his parachute quickly!" JrNovels.com
