Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

"Report! An unknown giant creature has been observed, approaching Tremont at an extremely fast speed."

"Activate emergency defense mechanism, all weapons unlocked. Open warning fire when the target approaches 20 kilometers."

"When the target ignores warnings and enters fifteen kilometers, aim and fire. Also, notify the paleobiologists that a new research target has appeared."

Orders came one after another via military radio, and the Colombian troops stationed in Tremon immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

The high-speed warship left the port, and the city defense guns placed on the city walls were loaded and ready to fire at any time.

The radar was operating at full power, scanning an area dozens of kilometers around the city. The intelligent fire control system had been authorized, following its pre-programmed instructions to issue a warning before targeting.

In the hot and desolate uninhabited desert of Colombia, a strong wind swept through with thunder balls, stirring up a sky full of yellow sand.

The slender snake body soared in the storm, and its scarlet snake eyes were filled with excitement and madness.

When he first became a feathered serpent, Holhaiya was undoubtedly ecstatic.

She could freely control her huge snake body to fly between the sky and the earth, enjoying the sense of freedom without any restraint, but she soon got bored of it.

The power that I once dreamed of at all costs, after finally obtaining it, left me with a greater sense of emptiness in my heart.

The powerful force belonging to the Quetzalcoatl actually made this wise and calm scholar feel a little arrogant.

"With the power of the Quetzalcoatl, we challenge modern armies..."

The vague outline of the mobile city of Tremont appeared on the horizon, and the guns on the high-speed warships were aimed at the rolling yellow sand at the end of the wasteland.

The distance between them was rapidly closing, fifty kilometers, forty kilometers, thirty kilometers...

"Fire!" The fleet commander gave the order, and long tongues of flames spurted out from the black muzzles in unison, and the shells fell into the strong wind and thunderstorm.

The overlapping shock waves generated by the explosions penetrated the barrier formed by the power of wind and thunder, tearing the soft internal organs protected by thick scales.

The intense pain instantly spread throughout his body, and Holhaiya still overestimated his physical strength.

The feathered serpent, with its ancient bloodline, was ultimately merely a creature possessing special abilities. In the face of Originium-powered thermal weapons, it was no different from an ordinary creature.

The ship's guns fired again. Holhaiya learned to use the strong wind to change the flight trajectory of the shells, while twisting his body to avoid the coverage of the artillery fire.

High-speed warships lacked heavy anti-aircraft firepower, so if Holhaiya increased its altitude, it could escape unscathed. However, doing so would mean admitting defeat.

The pride buried deep in her blood would not allow her to do such a cowardly thing.

As the distance continued to close, the incoming artillery fire became more and more intense. Trying to redirect all the shells became increasingly difficult, and inevitably some would slip through the net.

Several shells managed to land within a few meters of the wings. The heat and shrapnel from the explosion severely damaged the wings, which were not protected by scales, and blood quickly flowed from the broken and torn bones and muscles.

The fatigue from continuous high-intensity use of spells and the injuries in various parts of the body were constantly reminding Horhaiya.

If you want to survive, you must escape as soon as possible.

The historian's rationality ultimately overwhelmed the feathered serpent's instincts. Its wounded body fled in panic, swept away by the raging wind.

The blood and scales left by the injured feathered serpent were collected as treasures by the ancient biologists who came and took them back to the laboratory for research.

After flying for an unknown distance, the severely injured Quetzalcoatl could no longer hold on and fell helplessly from the sky, landing heavily in the dense jungle.

......

Holhaiya didn't know how long she had been unconscious. When she woke up again, her injuries had basically healed. Even her broken wings had returned to their former strength and power.

Two moons hang high in the night sky, but the jungle at night is not peaceful, and the sounds of nocturnal animals and insects are everywhere.

The feathered serpent raised its slender neck, the brilliant starry sky and the twin moons reflected in its pupils. Hol Haiya suddenly remembered the writing he had found on a stone slab in the ruins.

"The night wind is her chariot, and the stars are her dancing partners."

No one is more curious about what the picture above the starry sky is like than astrologer Holhayya.

"Let me unveil this mystery..."

The feathered serpent flapped its wings and took off again. The dense scales on its slender body reflected a brilliant and beautiful mysterious glow under the cold moonlight, and the falling feather powder emitted a faint fluorescence.

"Look, what kind of creature is that? It's so beautiful..." Members of a primitive tribe living in the jungle accidentally discovered a fantastic scene in the night sky.

"It's a miracle that feathered serpents still exist in this era!" The most distinguished high priest in the tribe narrowed his eyes, trying hard to see the elegant figure of the feathered serpent, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Quetzalcoatl? What is that?" the younger generation of the tribe asked in confusion. Growing up, they had never heard of the name of this creature.

"It is a legendary creature, powerful and beautiful, a deity that wields the power of wind and thunder."

"If the Quetzalcoatl is so powerful, why did it disappear? Isn't that usually the case with weaker creatures?"

"The more powerful something is, the more fragile it is. When you reach my age, you'll understand."

The old priest spoke in a kind tone, touched the heads of the younger generation, sat on the ground, and looked up at the night sky with them.

Feathered Beast Migration Flight Altitude: 2500 meters

It took Holkhaiya 45 seconds to reach this height!

UAV operating limit altitude: 4500m

It took 1 minute and 21 seconds to reach this height!

The Wrights' aircraft reached a maximum altitude of 6152.31 meters.

It took nearly three minutes to reach this height.

The closer you get to the barrier, the more difficult it becomes to cast spells, and your sense of direction is severely disrupted.

Fortunately, the bright two moons in the night sky could guide the direction, and Holhaiya continued to climb.

The thin air, the sub-zero temperature, and the special environment of the barrier layer... even the feathered serpents of the gods felt extremely exhausted.

The altitude reached 6800 meters, and there was still more than meters to break through the barrier. The body of the feathered serpent was covered with frost and it was gasping for breath.

After all, Quetzalcoatl belongs to the category of Terran creatures, and the thin oxygen cannot support the consumption of strenuous exercise.

After trying its best to climb up more than ten meters, its strong and powerful wings were no longer able to flap and it dropped rapidly in altitude.

"Hehe... You can't even break through the sky? Becoming a feathered serpent is truly an absurd and superstitious idea..."

A sad smile appeared on Holhaiya's lips, and he closed his eyes and calmly accepted the outcome of falling to his death.

"Snap!" A crisp snap of fingers sounded, pressing the pause button for the whole world.
