A sudden announcement during the flight woke Mo Fan, who was in a deep sleep.
”Our respected passengers, we are sorry to inform you that this flight will be landing in advance in New Suez. All international passengers might have to adjust their schedules.”
Zhao Manyan and Mu Bai woke up too. They looked at the other passengers with blank faces.
The Egyptians around them only groaned when they heard the update, not showing any real reaction. Some middle-aged Arabian men continued to flip their newspapers to the next page, their legs crossed absently.
”What's going on?” Brianca asked.
”Cairo is probably fighting, so it won't be taking any flights, apart from military ones,” a young man seated behind them said.
”Fighting?” Mu Bai was astounded.
Why did they sound like a battle was as common as a normal restriction placed on flight paths? Shouldn't they be more worried if a battle broke out?
”I bet it's the scorpion men and the snake men again. They show up and fight one another this time of the year in order to accumulate sufficient energy to hatch their eggs,” the Arabian man said, flipping through his newspaper.
”Mister, are battles that common here?” Heidi had to ask.
”Of course! If it isn't for those goddamned undead, Egypt would have long conquered the world! ” the man proclaimed.
Everyone chuckled after hearing those words. Mo Fan noticed that nobody was too bothered by the fighting. Now that he thought about it, the Ancient Capital was constantly fighting the undead at night, but the people still went out to eat, visited the nightclubs, and hooked up with others...
Now that Cairo was fighting, they had to find another way to continue on...
A new announcement followed not long afterwards. ”Our respected passengers, we are sorry to inform you that the southern part of New Suez had fallen to the demon creatures. The flight will now return to our departure city. We are sorry for the inconvenience!”
”F**k me, are you kidding me now!?” Mo Fan was the first to rise to his feet.
The passengers were a little restless after hearing the latest update. They immediately looked out the windows.
The plane had already arrived on the outskirts of New Suez. The desert came right up to the city. New Suez was within view, but it was blocked by a cluster of thin clouds.
They could see black streams invading the little square that was the city through the clouds. It was not very spectacular, mainly because their current altitude was around seven thousand meters. Everything was just too small!
The announcement was repeated twice. The passengers on the plane were utterly dumbfounded!
