Lewis exhaled forcefully, then his voice resonated slowly.
"We just broke the sound barrier in that freefall."
"You're probably curious about what it feels like to exceed the speed of sound with your own flesh and blood. To be honest, it feels no different from a normal fall, except that I can sense air from all directions converging in front of me, compressing towards me furiously. If your physical fitness is average and you're not wearing a pressure suit, your bones would be crushed by this immense pressure."
"Right now, I'm at about 9,000 meters above sea level, descending at a speed of roughly 250 meters per second. Both my altitude and speed are within a safe range. The air at this height is sufficient for me to breathe."
Saying this, Lewis suddenly opened his glass faceplate.
He then took out a pair of sunglasses he had prepared earlier from his pressure suit and put them on, examining the world below through the lenses.
"Now, I need to find my landing spot and figure out how to adjust my body to get closer to the safety net."
The easiest way in BASE jumping is to let your body descend to a certain altitude.
Then, pinpoint the landing spot from the sky before opening the parachute.
But at 20,000 meters, deviations occur during ascent, making it extremely difficult to adjust to a specific location.
"Haha, my Lewis is amazing, breaking the sound barrier and still chatting calmly!"
[Duck King]: Lewis, who makes me want to be his fanboy, is truly extraordinary.
"He's so full of himself, but I can't refute it because he's backing it up with real skills!"
"I, 18, loved women before today, but now, I love Lewis."
"+1!"
"+1!"
"+1!"
Ash felt much relieved but still patted his chest repeatedly, "That was really scary."
"He's got some guts," Reg didn't know how to describe it.
Blake said, "Now, it's all about whether he can land safely in the net."
Ash asked, "Do you think he can make it?"
Reg shook his head first, "It's difficult, almost impossible."
Blake and James also shook their heads, "Indeed, it's impossible."
This isn't something that can be done solely with physical fitness. Even Reg, with thousands of parachute jumps, wouldn't dare to guarantee it, let alone Lewis?
Landing from 20,000 meters onto a 40-meter-by-40-meter safety net is like finding a goldfish in a vast ocean.
"He definitely can!" Zoe stared directly at Lewis.
Rose also nodded vigorously, "I think he can do it too!"
Alright, asking them is pointless.
They've both been captivated by Lewis and can't give an objective opinion.
"The scenery of my country is truly breathtaking, like an ink painting. It's a pity I don't have time to appreciate it now."
Lewis spoke again, and from his first-person perspective, everyone could appreciate the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers, which were indeed beautiful like a painting.
These days, he had been dropping an eyedrop every morning and evening, unwavering.
After being enhanced by the gene drink, his physical abilities surpassed normal humans, and his vision was already good.
With the eyedrops, although his vision hadn't reached 8.0, it had reached an enviable 5.0.
This allowed him to observe the world more clearly.
"Huh?"
Lewis suddenly let out a soft exclamation, his eyes fixed on the approaching cloud layer.
"That cirrostratus cloud…"
Lewis stared at the cirrostratus cloud below, and his words suddenly hesitated. Only after a few seconds, when the distance was less than 100 meters, did he snap back to reality, "A storm is coming!"
Everyone watching from Lewis' first-person perspective was stunned.
The originally white clouds under the sun had instantly turned as black as ink in just a few seconds, resembling the 18 levels of hell, capable of swallowing people up.
And Lewis was plunging into it.
Oh no!
You crappy system, you're screwing me over!
Lewis cursed in his heart.
He finally understood what the so-called hell mode was all about.
The hot air balloon ascent was smooth, and the jump from it was equally smooth.
It made him forget that he still had two hours of hell mode left.
Calculating carefully, he still had close to half an hour of hell mode left.
Undoubtedly, this suddenly appearing storm layer was the so-called hell mode!
Being worry-free for an hour and a half was just a setup for a big move!
This is really frustrating!
"You're trying to kill me!"
Lewis wanted to cry but it was too late to regret.
With a "clap," he put his helmet back on, his gaze never more determined.
His arms and legs, which had already been spread out, were folded back together, making his body straight as a javelin, diving straight into the storm clouds. He intended to cross this storm layer at the fastest speed!
If I'm fast enough, you can't catch me!
Come on, let the storm come even fiercer!
"Hoo!"
"Crash!"
The sound of the storm instantly filled the entire live stream.
Everyone was startled by this sudden accident.
The live stream, which was once filled with laughter and a relaxed atmosphere, was now shrouded in gloom due to this sudden storm layer.
No matter from the first-person perspective or other angles, the captured scenes were pitch black.
"Will Lewis be okay?" Zoe was nervous.
"He will be, he absolutely will be," Rose's voice trembled.
"Reg, is he in danger?" Blake asked.
Reg remained silent for a long time before saying, "It depends on his luck."
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.
What he meant was basically that there was definitely danger.
Whether he could survive depended on how strong his fate was.
"Sound barrier and storm layer… What bad luck, stepping in dog shit?"
"Poor Lewis, he's really having a tough time."
[Duck King]: Actually, it's not that serious. It's just a storm, and it's fine if there's no thunder.
Who knew, as soon as Duck King finished speaking, a "rumble" of thunder echoed through the live stream.
Netizens, "…"
Ash and the others, "…"
Duck King, "?"
"Did it just thunder?"
"It seems like it…"
"Won't Lewis be hit by lightning?"
"Shit, we can't see anything, we can only guess."
[Duck King]: Why are you worrying unnecessarily? Are you all idiots? If he really got hit by lightning, would this camera still be here?
"That makes sense."
"Duck King is so calm. I didn't think of that."
However, the next second…
"Rumble!"
"Crash!"
A deafening explosion rang out instantly in the live stream.
Everyone stared intently at the live stream. Just now, lightning flashed through the live stream, making the pitch-black screen as bright as day.
In that instant, they saw a fragment flash past the lens.
Rose stumbled over her words, "What… was that just now?"
Ash said, "Technical department, replay and capture a screenshot."
Soon, a screenshot of the scene just now appeared.
On the screen, a micro-camera flashed past as lightning struck.
Everyone, "…"
Netizens, "…"
Duck King, "Actually…"
"Shut up!"
"Duck King, please, stop talking!"
"Lewis is almost being killed by you!"
"You jinxed it. If Lewis dies today, it's because of your mouth!"
"…" [Duck King]: Actually, it's nothing. Cameras conduct electricity, so getting hit by lightning is fine. Besides, Lewis has several cameras on him, so there's nothing to worry about.
Netizens, "Shut up, you!"
Less than two seconds after Duck King finished speaking.
"Rumble!"
Thunderclaps came thick and fast, echoing continuously.
Then netizens saw lightning striking constantly in the live stream.
Fragments kept flashing past the lens.
After a long time, a barrage message floated by.
"It's over. Even the Great Buddha can't save Lewis this time."
