Chapter 261: Black Sheep Running?
That's a passenger plane, why are there passenger planes in a military base?"
After flying in the sky for a while, the osprey began to lower its altitude, and Wang Ling noticed that two intersecting runways appeared below, and a small jet was sliding into the runway to prepare for takeoff.
"Well, that's the Clarkeville-Montgomery regional airport, and it's next to the military base. It's actually a Fort Campbell military base, but I like to call it Clarkeville. β
The area of this military base is indeed large, and it looks like a small town from the air, but it is full of low buildings. "It's very well equipped, with a stadium, a library, a hospital, and even a thrift store and a Korean store, and there are five hospitals. β
Soon, the Osprey landed on the tarmac, where several Apache and Birdie were neatly parked not far away, and a C-130 was being overhauled on the side of the tarmac.
"I didn't expect that one day I would have the opportunity to enter the US military air base. Wang Ling stood next to the cabin door and looked out, the Fort Campbell base was very green, with lawns everywhere in all directions, and a dense forest around the airport.
"There's a park on the other side of the woods, a villa area behind it, where the officers of the army can have their own little houses, and further southwest is the federal government. β
After a few brief words to Wang Ling, Xiao motioned for Wang Ling to wake up X12, and he didn't dare to blindly contact X12.
Before Wang Ling could reach out to pat him, X12 opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, his eyes looked very energetic, not at all like he had slept all the way.
"We've arrived. Wang Ling pointed outside the cabin door.
X12 nodded, and in the next second, he had already appeared outside the osprey, Wang Ling was okay, he was already a little used to it. The technicians and ground crews who came outside to refuel the Osprey were really startled.
Wang Ling smiled helplessly and jumped off the osprey.
Only by standing here in person can you really feel how big this place really is. Even the C-130, which can be called a behemoth, looks so small on a field the size of hundreds of football fields.
"I thought they were all retired. β
Wang Ling looked around and found that someone in the nearest hangar was doing maintenance for an A-10, even after so many years of service, the unique shark mouth livery of the "Thunderbolt" looked murderous from a distance.
"It's easy to retire, but there is no fighter that can replace it. An old man in sunglasses got out of the Hummer and answered Wang Ling's question for Xiao.
"It's true that it can't beat your country's latest fighter, but its power is still there, after all, it's not the su-35 and J-20 that will fight in the future, but those who look like demons with humans." β
After speaking, he glanced at X12 standing beside Wang Ling.
"Nice to meet you, I'm..."
"Major Brown, it's an honor to meet you. Wang Ling stretched out his hand and shook the officer.
Brown looked down at the ID tag on his chest and nodded with a smile, "Good boy, I like your character." β
Even with sunglasses, you can still see that his face is weather-beaten, the wrinkles have been deeply engraved there, and his hair has turned gray.
However, he doesn't look old at all, and he even looks a little handsome in a light gray combat uniform.
"Wow, I thought those handsome veterans were only available in Hollywood, but I didn't expect to see them. Moreover, I also think that the Air Force does not drink. Wang Ling sniffed deliberately, "Jack Daniel?"
"Hahaha, it's Bourbon! Brother, this is Kentucky, and the Bourbon here is the most authentic, you only need to add 75 percent corn, tsk, and that's called whiskey." I've got some good bourbons there, would you like to try them?"
"It's the first time we meet, so don't bother ...... much"
"Let's go. Before Wang Ling could finish speaking, Xiao suddenly smiled and agreed for Wang Ling, "This is the United States, you just need to accept it." Besides, I rarely get a good drink from this old thing, and I won't let go of this good opportunity to borrow your light today. β
"Hmph, you bastard, have you drunk less of my good wine? I've never seen you take out your so-called Howling Eagle, what's your name... wangβ¦β
"Wang Ling. β
"Forgive me for really not knowing Chinese, but this old guy next to you is not a good thing, you must find a way to get some of his good wine when you go back, and then let's share it." β
Brown pulled a humidor out of his pocket, and inside it were a few fine Havanas. In his hand, he took out a sterling silver cigar cutter like a trick, cut off the eggplant tail and handed it to Xiao and Wang Ling respectively.
"Does he smoke?" Brown looked at the X12, who didn't look at him at all, instead looking at the parked fighters in the distance.
"Forget it, I shouldn't smoke it. Wang Ling shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Looks like a weirdo. Brown shrugged, lit his cigar and stuffed it into his mouth, spitting out a happy smoke ring.
"Go, go to me. Brown turned around and opened the door of the Humvee, hooked his hand and motioned for the driver to get out of the car, "I'll drive it myself, you can go back." β
Then he shouted to the few people who were still standing there, "Get in, gentlemen, do you need me to pick you up?"
Xiao sat in the passenger seat, and Wang Ling and X12 sat in the middle. The last row of the military Humvee has been dismantled, and inside are some weapons and ammunition, and above the middle seat is a machine-gun stand, and above it is a heavily loaded M2 machine gun.
"This little brother is... Can't speak?" Brown turned on the engine and reached out to adjust the angle of the rearview mirror so that he could see the X12, who was honestly getting into the car, but his curiosity never seemed to be satisfied, and he spent the rest of the time looking around unless he killed and slept.
"Don't mess with him. He had just unleashed a localized earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale just a few hours earlier, killing hundreds of militants. β
"What?" Brown stopped the car with a kick, took off his sunglasses, and stared at Shaw with wide eyes, "It's started...... Earthquakes, damn it, Xiao, are you playing with me, how can there be such a damn soul oracle?"
"That's the case, so I advise you not to provoke him, and I don't know why, he has endured Wang Ling as his brother, and he only listens to him. The report on the earthquake is being compiled and should be shared with the military soon. β
Brown turned his head and looked at X12 secretly, of course, X12 naturally turned a deaf ear to their conversation and ignored it, while Wang Ling sat next to him with a helpless look.
"What... Little brother, you have a good eye on your brother, if he causes an earthquake at Fort Campbell, then our precious plane will be finished. β
"I'll do my best," Wang Ling spread his hands, "It's not enough to talk about it, you too..."
When Brown took off his sunglasses, Wang Ling noticed that one of his eyes was pale blue, similar to when he activated the Soul Oracle, while the other eye was normal brown.
"Yes, I used to be in the military by the Soul Hunter Division, and my eyes never went out during a battle with the Soul Hunter due to the overuse of the Soul Oracle," Brown put his sunglasses back on, "I haven't fought as a Soul Hunter since, because once I use my bloodline with all my might, I feel a little out of control." β
"He was the only one left in his team who died, and this guy went crazy and killed everyone on the other side by himself. You also know that if the mental stimulation is too severe, the kind of bestiality that lurks in our bloodlines will take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, so it is dangerous to let Brown use his soul oracle to fight again. Shaw leaned back in his chair and smoked a cigar, helping Brown briefly recall.
Although he said it very simply, Wang Ling could vaguely imagine the tragic battle. When all my comrades-in-arms die in front of me, I am afraid that it is more painful than being injured and dying.
"Don't mention the old things, it's good for me to be a professional soldier now. Brown snorted, apparently not intending to discuss the topic.
"Why is there such a strange name?
Wang Ling noticed the words "blacksheeprun" written on the street sign on the side, and changed the topic by the way.
"Could it be that the thunder man in your country is a Flash, and the eldest aunt is a relative?" Brown's personality is indeed very good, and he was directly amused by Wang Ling's words, "That's the meaning of the black sheep." β
"Even if it's ...... It's also a strange name for the street. Wang Ling smiled helplessly, but didn't say anything.
The ride of this military Humvee really didn't feel so good, especially after Wang Ling drove the explosive Sirius designed by the Juan Fu family not long ago, this purely mechanical off-road vehicle felt like a tractor when he sat down.
After a few turns, the Hummer came to a halt in front of a huge building in the shape of a "Hui", which appeared to be the outermost part of the Fort Campbell base.
There were many people in officer uniforms coming in and out, and this seemed to be the place where the officers worked, but there was no sign on the outside telling Wang Ling what the hell was here.
Following Brown to an office in the corner of the second floor, Brown took off his combat uniform and hung it on a clothes rack, revealing not particularly strong, but definitely angular muscles.
"Be relaxed, don't be too restrictive. β
As he spoke, he took out a few glasses and placed them on the table, then opened a safe behind his desk and pulled out a bottle of wine......
