"And who knows what it's like on that island—whether it's safe is another question. If it's another Night Parade of Hundred Demons like Sea Rock Island, we won't be able to land at all." Qian Deli turned to Luo Yang and called out, "Hey, can we go around this Storm Zone or not?"
Luo Yang immediately shook his head, took off his headset, and said, "Impossible. Strictly speaking, we're already inside the Storm Zone's perimeter. If we want to detour and still make it before dark, we'd have to accelerate to Mach 4 at least. At that speed, forget evasive maneuvers or point defense—we'd probably be in even more danger."
Lin Xian shook his head. "At supersonic speed we'll just die faster. There's no other way. We can only risk punching through the tropical storm!"
With that, he spoke into the comm, "No matter what we run into, our first priority is to cover the Sky Dome Unlimited's retreat. Don't worry about anything else. If we get tagged, we'll deal with it after we reach the island!"
