Chapter 1224: Grow up without their parents
With all the strength they had exerted, Hugo, Zoren, Penny, and even Atlas tumbled violently inside the plane. The harsh wind added force, throwing them further in. Their grunts and the sound of their bodies hitting the floor filled the space, momentarily overpowering the deafening pressure of the sky.
Meanwhile, Slater held onto something and stayed behind the wall. Peeking over, he kept his back pressed against it as he cautiously moved up. With precise calculation, he reached for the door and pulled it shut. The wind made it extra challenging, but until the door was closed and they were back to safety, he couldn’t feel reassured.
Somehow, Slater managed to close the door all by himself. Whether it was pure willpower or brute strength, he had no idea. All he knew was the exhaustion that hit him the moment the cabin was free from the harsh wind.
Thud!
Slater felt his knees weaken as he slumped to the floor, panting.
"Holy broccoli..." he breathed out, staring at the shut door in horror. "What just... happened...?"
Looking back, he saw Penny and Zoren trying to push themselves upright. His eyes then moved to Atlas, who was closest to him.
"First Brother!" Slater yelled, forcing himself forward. But with his bones feeling like jelly, he could only crawl toward him. "First Brother!"
Atlas grunted, peering up at Slater. "Slater," he muttered, reaching out a hand that Slater quickly clasped.
Helping Atlas sit up, Slater then scanned the room. Penny and Zoren were already sitting, with Zoren checking on her. Hugo, meanwhile, lay face down, palms pressed against the floor as he pushed himself up.
A sharp breath escaped Slater as he gazed at them blankly. "So? Would anyone tell me... what the hell just happened? Surely, you guys didn’t just decide it’d be fun to play human centipede, right?"
Slowly, all eyes turned to Slater. Penny’s mouth opened, but no words came out.
