This journey was nothing short of disastrous; she had practically wrecked the Sky Patroller, with no crew to help check the radar or observe the condition of the body. Xu Cheng was scrambling, feeling deeply frustrated.
The Shuttle Machine landed with a tremendous humming sound, emitting a piercing explosion from the engine. The Sky Patroller Shuttle Machine that helped Xu Cheng complete her journey had reached the end of its lifespan.
