Chapter 143 This bird is really big!
Seeing their surprise, Shen Yuan explained helplessly, "Otherwise, why do you think we're so bold as to rebel?"
"If the city lord's mansion discovers that something has gone wrong, and they seize our family members and coerce us, then the organization will be dismantled in no time."
"That's exactly why. To be honest, we actually have similar backgrounds to Xiaoguai; we're both orphans..."
Li Lan followed up on her question, "So how did you grow up? Were you adopted or somewhere else?"
"Orphanages are very common. There are a lot of abandoned babies in the upper town, so five orphanages were established, and we are basically all from there."
"Everyone was abandoned by their biological parents after being diagnosed with a genetic defect at the hospital after birth."
"There are many cases like ours. Abandoned babies are commonplace in the city and are no longer a rare occurrence."
"Everyone assumes that any child with a genetic defect or who is not qualified will not survive in the future, or will have a congenital disease. This has become a disaster that everyone wants to avoid."
"In our area, people are very superstitious. If you ask me, the ones with defects are those intellectually disabled couples who have children but whose brains haven't developed properly."
"Look at me, and Feng Tian, A Zhu, Yang Mo, haven't we all grown up well? There's absolutely nothing wrong with us."
Li Can pondered her words; such an arbitrary conclusion was indeed incorrect.
But looking at it from another angle, the reason they awakened and began to study rebellion might be what the people of the Upper City called a "flaw".
But in reality, the flawed ones should be the opposite.
Yang Mo was trapped inside by the crowd, and as time passed, he gradually became red-faced and irritated.
He shouted for help to Li Can and the others in the distance: "Help me! Are you all just going to stand by and watch?"
"Feng Tian and the others are very busy right now and can't get in touch with anyone to come and meet them."
Li Can's expression remained calm upon hearing this. It was truly rare to see Yang Mo asking for help in this situation.
"You didn't say that either."
He glanced at the countdown to the destruction of Blue Star in his mind, estimated that the time was about right, released the Vulture Puppet directly from the gashapon, grabbed Yang Mo's shoulder and pulled him out of the crowd.
Then the vulture rapidly expanded in size, threw Yang Mo onto its back, and landed steadily on its body.
The vulture flew low, and as it passed Li Can and his group standing on the ruins, it suddenly braked slowly, waiting for Shen Yuan and Li Lan, who were looking shocked, to get into the car with Li Can before accelerating away again.
Along the way, I passed countless unfamiliar faces looking up at me.
Not only Yang Mo and his group were shocked by Li Can, but also tens of thousands of refugees in the city. They had never seen such a horrifying person before.
"This...this vulture must be a monster! How can it grow so big!"
"They're in cahoots! Look, isn't that the rebellious mecha? The fact that they're standing with him means they..."
"Mommy, Mommy! Look! There's a huge bird in the sky, like an airplane! We can ride on that big bird too!"
The crowd below buzzed with discussion, some expressing amazement, others fear, and still others speculating.
The others, who were flying on the back of the vulture towards the Baijie Hotel, were also still in shock.
"You have this skill? Why didn't you show it to us sooner? So you were already trying to trick us when we were negotiating at the amusement park. You, Xing Dazhuang..." Yang Mo muttered under his breath.
In fact, his calves were trembling with fear of heights.
He clung tightly to Li Can's arm, not daring to let go or even look down at the ground.
Vultures don't fly in man-made aircraft; their journey is unstable, with constant wobbling, turning, accelerating, or sudden stops.
Although it looks cool, it actually makes people "motion sick," especially Yang Mo, who is not used to this kind of stimulation.
Li Lan, the younger sister, already knew that Li Can had a vulture that could be used for communication, but she didn't know that it could grow to such a large size and be used as a means of transportation.
However, she remembered the wasteland Blue Star video that Li Can uploaded to the Survivors Forum and understood. He was already flying vultures back then, but they didn't know enough about him.
Thinking of this, she looked at him with even more admiration.
Shen Yuan, on the other hand, was visibly excited. "My God! Is this a privilege reserved for perfect people? You guys are amazing after you awakened!"
She paused for a moment, then sighed very earnestly.
"Wow, that bird is huge!..."
Li Can: "..."
He deliberately waited for the right moment to keep Yang Mo occupied by the troublemakers below, and then intervened to rescue him.
Originally, after he came out of the [Mirror of Past Lives], he planned to stop pretending and lay all his cards on the table, and start focusing on the matter of leaving the city.
Unexpectedly, we encountered the problem of the damaged city barrier, so let's take this opportunity to act.
Revealing his convincing strength is crucial right now, as it will determine whether he can successfully integrate into the rebel organization later.
This is the most dire moment in the history of the bizarre and mysterious city.
Everyone hopes that their side has a better chance of winning.
Simply hiding in the lower city for refuge will eventually lead to the same fate as the upper city's barrier.
If Li Can could think of this, Feng Tian and Yang Mo must have had the same intuition as well.
In order to prevent problems before they occur, we will do our best to prepare from this point onward.
This is a good opportunity for Li Can to demonstrate his power and make his move.
As for why he had to join forces with them, Li Can had also thought about it. If things didn't go wrong in the upper city, and he could freely enter and leave the upper and lower cities as before, he wouldn't need to do this.
But the situation outside is now beyond his ability to handle alone; he needs help, lots of help.
Players from the same faction in the dungeon are far from enough.
He needs a legitimate identity to do what he needs to do next.
This will ensure that your plans proceed smoothly.
Now, he only brought out a vulture to show off, and everyone was amazed and deeply shocked, but he knew that was not enough.
That's just the surface; you need something of real substance.
"Brother Xing, the Baijie Hotel is just downstairs! Wow, we're here already! I see Sister Feng!"
With the help of vultures, passage was very convenient.
In the lower town, along the road that stretched from the underground casino to a street in the suburbs, people were packed together so tightly that there was no empty space.
The original inhabitants of the lower city were overtaken and their already meager lives were further expelled to remote and small areas.
Whether they were people from the upper city or native residents of the lower city, they all looked on with envy and admiration when they saw Li Can and his group jump down from the giant vulture.
Feng Tian and A Zhu had already received the message Yang Mo sent while traveling by air, and they were waiting at the restaurant entrance early.
"Hiss... It's so big..." Feng Tian changed into a mecha suit and ignored the four people who reappeared in front of her. Instead, she rushed towards the vulture with great interest and stroked its soft wing feathers.
