Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 883 - 880 Lu Mountain
Chapter 883: Chapter 880 Lu Mountain
"Lin Tian is someone who values loyalty and righteousness. He would never leave the Xiao Family, right, Little Hua?" Xiao Manxuan said confidently.
Mrs. Xiao smiled indulgently, looked at her two daughters, and said, "Lin Tian left today; he might become the Young Master of the Yun Family. Then, what reason would he have to stay with the Xiao Family?"
"Mom, you already know?" Miss said in surprise; she hadn’t told anyone about Lin Tian searching for his origins.
"I didn’t ask, but that doesn’t mean I can’t guess. Lin Tian was recruited by me back then. I’ve looked into his background. He was adopted since childhood, and his age matches that of the Yun Family’s missing young master. Plus, he only met Yun Xiaotian once at the opening ceremony, yet they immediately hit it off."
"I think only the miraculous power of blood ties can explain it, and his name—Yun Tian, Lin Tian—they’re similar, making it likely over fifty percent that Lin Tian is the Yun family’s legitimate eldest son."
"If Lin Tian becomes the legitimate eldest son of the Yun Family and returns, with his talents, the renaissance of the Yun Family could begin, surpassing the Li Family soon." Mrs. Xiao mentioned her own family, the Li Family, as if discussing someone else’s, seemingly without any feelings.
She looked at her two daughters and said, "Previously, he was a hidden dragon, now he’s a flying dragon. Manxue, Xuanxuan, you tell me, how can Lin Tian stay with the Xiao Family?"
Miss’s eyes shifted rapidly; she watched Lin Tian transform from a bodyguard, gradually showcasing incredible abilities, into possibly becoming the Yun Family’s legitimate eldest son. She didn’t know whether to be happy for him or saddened by the impending separation.
"He promised me he’s my Guardian God; he wouldn’t leave the Xiao Family," Xiao Manxuan muttered quietly, seeming to unconditionally trust Lin Tian.
The mother and daughters were momentarily silent, lost in their own thoughts.
Lin Tian certainly couldn’t hear the Xiao family’s conversation; he and Yun Xiaotian, master and servant, had long boarded the helicopter, flying quickly into the sky.
It was Lin Tian’s first time on a helicopter, feeling novel. However, compared to an airline jet, it was far less comfortable. The only advantage was the convenience of takeoff and landing, and the view was better than on a jet.
He knew that large airline jets cruise at altitudes of ten thousand meters where all you see is clouds, while helicopters typically cruise at low altitudes below six thousand meters.
Only military helicopters could reach altitudes of six thousand meters. Civilian helicopters usually fly between two thousand and four thousand meters. Therefore, from the helicopter, you could overlook the earth, gaze at the horizon—mountains, lands, rivers—it’s all clear.
Lin Tian wondered what it felt like for the female zombie to fly in the sky. Last time, she took him flying once, and he longed for it.
"Brother Lin, we’re heading directly to Jinghua City on this helicopter. It’s far less comfortable than an airline jet, so please bear with it, Brother Lin," Yun Xiaotian said apologetically, thinking Lin Tian was not accustomed to helicopter travel since he was silent. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Xiaotian, what are you talking about? A rough person like me prefers this feeling. Airline jets are too smooth; it’s boring," Lin Tian shrugged, unconcerned.
"Brother Lin’s thinking is indeed unique," Yun Xiaotian said with a slight smile.
This slight smile dazzled Lin Tian; he momentarily thought he saw a beautiful girl smiling. He quickly shook his head, dismissing such strange illusions.
Unlike jets, helicopters have much smaller cabins, so the two were very close in proximity. He nearly reached out to pinch Yun Xiaotian’s fair face.
Damn, that was close. Lin Tian was glad he didn’t act on impulse; Yun Xiaotian was too alluring, which was why it led him astray, he rationalized to himself.
To ease the awkwardness, Lin Tian changed the subject, asking, "Helicopters generally don’t have large ranges. Can this helicopter fly that far?"
"Brother Lin, no need to worry. Though this helicopter is civilian, some of its features are almost military-grade. Its maximum altitude can reach six thousand meters, the maximum cruising speed is 300 kilometers per hour, with a range of 1000 kilometers. If equipped with ferry tanks, the range can increase by 200 kilometers," Yun Xiaotian explained in detail to Lin Tian.
"Having money is great; you can use the best of everything," Lin Tian said with a smile.
"If Brother Lin likes, I could help arrange for a customized helicopter. With Brother Lin’s capabilities, purchasing an aircraft shouldn’t be an issue," Yun Xiaotian offered.
Lin Tian was somewhat tempted; owning an aircraft had been his dream. He also knew that planes with such features were generally unavailable. It’s not just about money.
If he guessed correctly, aside from the fire control system and weapon systems, this plane was almost like a military one, and only big families could purchase something like this.
Even if he had money, he wouldn’t be able to buy an aircraft of this level.
Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Forget it; I can’t fly it. Buying a helicopter would require hiring a pilot."
"By the way, where are we?" He glanced outside and asked.
This time the helicopter pilot answered him, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Yun, we are now two thousand meters above Lu County. That mountain over there is Lu Mountain, and beyond it is the vast plain. This plain was called Zhu Lu’s Field during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, where the legendary Battle of Zhu Lu occurred in Ancient Times."
The pilot seemed very familiar with the terrain, providing Lin Tian and Yun Xiaotian an introduction to the landscape below.
"Lu County?" Lin Tian’s heart stirred; he leaned toward the window, looking down. Indeed, directly below was a county town.
Lu County is different from other county towns; it doesn’t have tall skyscrapers, and even modern buildings are rare. The town’s architecture retained an ancient style and appearance.
Lin Tian’s good eyesight enabled him to see, even from a thousand meters above, that most houses in the town had blue tiles and gray walls, and there were remnants of ancient city walls surrounding the town.
His interest in this county was not because of its ancient style and appearance, but because something happened near Lu County that changed his life.
"A sudden earthquake struck Xikou City’s Lu County the day before yesterday, cracking open the mountain body of Stone Mountain thirty kilometers southeast of the town, revealing a mysterious ancient tomb..." he murmured.
This taxi broadcast news was vivid in Lin Tian’s memory, as if it happened yesterday. It was this earthquake that led to the reappearance of the female zombie from the ancient tomb, significantly changing his life.
His whisper made the pilot and Yun Xiaotian pause. The pilot quickly caught on and laughed, "Mr. Lin is talking about a broadcast news, right? Coincidentally, I tuned in on that day too. It was an awe-inspiring archaeological event; the research institute unearthed a five-thousand-year-old female corpse that appeared lifelike."
"Unfortunately, I’ve heard that there was an incident later on that led to the disappearance of the female corpse. It’s unknown if it has been found," the pilot sighed.
Found? Lin Tian secretly shook his head. They likely could never find the female corpse again.
"Is that ancient tomb located on Lu Mountain? Let’s head over for a look," Lin Tian said.
