He immediately explained, "Just now, a military transport plane appeared in the sky, and we thought rescue had arrived."
Yang Mei asked joyfully, "Is there really rescue?"
Liang Yuan shook his head, "The plane crashed."
"What?" The joy on Yang Mei's face visibly froze as she looked at Liang Yuan in disbelief.
Liang Yuan said solemnly, "This world has undergone unimaginable changes. Mutant creatures are popping up everywhere. It's not just humans; fish in the sea have mutated, and even birds and beasts flying in the sky have mutated."
"Just a moment ago, a strange bird of an unknown species, only slightly smaller than the transport plane, dived down from the clouds and tore the plane apart."
Yang Mei's face turned pale, and she asked, trembling, "How... how could this happen? Didn't they have weapons? Military planes don't have weapons? How could a strange bird stop them?"
