Chapter III
Ten flying machines left the ground in turn, hovering over the mech. The rope hangs from the bottom of the aircraft with an automatic positioning manipulator. After the mecha spreads its arms and waits for the robot to be positioned and fixed, it lowers its arms to adjust its standing posture.
The aircraft formation increases the engine power and slowly brings the mech off the ground. After ascending to the air, all engines rotate and change direction, pushing the aircraft to accelerate towards the base.
Chen Yan was so tired that he leaned back on the chair and fell asleep. She dreamed of returning to the mountain hut where she had lived as a child, where she could hear the sound of mountain streams mixed with the crisp chirping of birds, and the starry sky at night.
But sometimes there were sudden floods in the mountains—her little bed seemed to become a small boat floating on the water, constantly swaying left and right with the raging waves, ready to capsize at any time at 180 degrees.
The violent shaking brought a feeling of nausea, Chen Yan frowned and woke up, and found that it was the aircraft swaying in the air, and his posture was very ecstatic. She immediately remembered that when Captain McCann's brain was invaded by the brain controllers, their aircraft also took such a bewitching route.
Apparently, Mina also encountered a brain-controlled intruder.
From Chen Yan's point of view, he could only see Mei Na's back. Chen Yan fidgeted, hoping that Mei Na would take back control. But after a while, the shaking of the aircraft became more and more violent.
Seeing that she couldn't handle it, Mina used her remaining consciousness to open the common communication channel, and intermittently reported: "Alert...... Brain-controlled ...... Invasion ......"
A public communication channel means that everyone in the channel can hear and anyone can reply. Chen Yan could imagine the expressions of the students in the other aircraft. But there was no sound in the channel, only the sound of Meina's suppressed breathing.
"Unleash the Mech". Colonel Reims' order finally came.
The aircraft quickly descended in altitude and made a forced landing with engine boost. Apparently she was afraid that she would not have much time to come to consciousness, and the aircraft began to descend rapidly. Just when the aircraft was lowered to the point where it could almost see the ground, it suddenly swung upward, which was the feeling of weightlessness.
Colonel Lance's mech was urgently released by the aircraft. Although Mina barely lowered some height, such a release distance was still very risky for the mecha to land.
Chen Yan looked down anxiously, the mecha started from dormancy in mid-air, his knees bent, and he supported the ground with his arms at the moment of landing, and the ground immediately sunken, followed by a loud sound. However, it was finally a safe landing.
But the brain controller did not let Mei Na go, and the aircraft became more and more difficult to control, and the flight route was weird, and there was a feeling of suicide.
Chen Yan didn't understand why he was in danger again and again as soon as he went out today, maybe it was because of Lily's crow's beak. She waited in her seat for a moment, deeply feeling that she couldn't sit like this and wait to die. So he turned on the safety device and walked to the cockpit, picked up another spare brain-controlled helmet and put it on.
She didn't know what she could do to help, but it was better than fighting on her own. Anyway, if the driver is controlled, they will only have a dead end.
As soon as the system was calibrated, Colonel Lance's voice was heard: "You come to operate the aircraft." She was taken aback, when did Colonel Lance get in?
"Yes", Chen Yan immediately took over the flight control system. Almost at the same moment, she felt the consciousness of someone else enter her brain, and it quickly formed a protective layer on the outside.
This time, Chen Yan took over the control of the aircraft formation. Formation flight has higher requirements for the brain, and the main controller must take into account all the members of the team, and under normal circumstances, there is only one person in a aircraft formation, so other aircraft can be abandoned in times of crisis.
But now the other aircraft are full of students, and none of them can be fine. She struggled to take care of the entire formation, and it was difficult to distract from other attention, and gradually she felt comfortable. Colonel Lance didn't know what method he used, the system was no longer disturbed, Chen Yan's vision was an endless blue sky, and she could feel herself whizzing through the air, unconsciously intoxicated.
"You're ready to go".
Suddenly hearing Colonel Lance's voice, she realized that she was still in the flight control system, so she quickly withdrew and took off the brain control helmet.
Now that she can quit, Mina should be safe. She didn't want to hear anything she shouldn't hear, and the question of why the brain-controlled intruders were only eyeing their team was left to the two of them to discuss. Chen Yan now just wants to get back to the base quickly, take a hot shower, and have a good dream to forget about that damn beast.
However, it backfired.
The aircraft made another slow landing. This time, no one protested - the life-and-death situation experienced on this day was like a roller coaster, and after this one, I don't know if there will be another one.
After all the aircraft landed, Mei Na turned on the safety device, turned around and looked at Chen Yan, and did not speak for a long time.
was looked at by a beautiful woman with such affection, if she was a man, she would probably have thought about it. Chen Yan also had thoughts, but they were all bad guesses, and she was a little fried by Mei Na.
Finally, Mina lowered her eyes and sighed softly, and said solemnly, "We are being targeted by brain-controlled invaders. ”
Chen Yan nodded. It can't be such a coincidence that a mission will be invaded several times. There are hundreds of millions of brain control systems running at the same time in this world at all times, and it must be premeditated to choose them alone among this vast sea of goals.
Mei Na tapped the direction of the operation wheel with her chin: "The problem now is that whether I or you come to pilot the aircraft formation, they will all be invaded." ”
"Colonel Lance can ...... just like he did just now," Chen Yan tried to come up with a solution. Colonel Lance had just used his consciousness to form a protective layer outside their brains, helping Mina repel the invaders while protecting Chen Yan's brain. Chen Yan thought that since the colonel was so powerful, he could protect Mei Na's brain up to the base.
Mina shook her head, "That's extremely draining. Although the leader's brain is against the sky, he can't hold on to the base at all while controlling the mecha and operating the aircraft. Not to mention that he had just gone through the battle. After a pause, she looked at Chen Yan and said, "Now there is a solution." Let the leader operate the aircraft, and I will control the mech. In the event of an emergency, we can fight separately. ”
"But can't mechs also be invaded, and what's the advantage of swapping them like this?"
Mina explained, "Mechs can cut off communication with the outside world and rely only on their own systems to fight. But this is rare because ......"
"Because there is no mecha to communicate with the outside world, it is equivalent to a giant losing his ears," Chen Yan continued.
Mei Na looked at her with some surprise: "Yes, it seems that you have a good memory of the maintenance manual", she said meaningfully: "Unlike those rookies who can only escape, let them repair a mecha light discrimination circuit can be used for a whole day." ”
Chen Yan was embarrassed. Thinking about the students of the same period who slept slumbering in class during the training, she decided to remain silent. But- "Can you operate a mech alone?"
Generally speaking, because the operation of the mecha is too burdensome on the human cranial nerves, it requires the cooperation of more than two people in order to withstand the impact of brain waves. And Colonel Lance's brain is many times more powerful than ordinary people, so Colonel Lance's special mecha only needs him to operate it alone. Thinking of this, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
"No, you can't. So I need your help", Mina paused, a smile that made her feel that the situation was not good. It seemed that she also felt that the official level was crushing people, and Mei Na said very seriously: "It was proposed by Colonel Lance. ”
The "need help" in Mei Na's mouth, if Chen Yan guessed correctly, meant that he and Mei Na jointly controlled the mecha.
Chen Yan was dumbfounded, pounding the ground frantically in his heart, WHAT? This day full of adventurous spirit, can it be worse? She is just a mecha repair technician who wants to go back alive, not this group of mecha operators who are against the sky......
This kind of irritability makes people want to scold their mother, but neither Colonel Lance nor Mei Na is the object of their own scolding. So Chen Yan had a broken jar mentality, the sky fell and there was a high top, anyway, there was Meina, but they were special forces.
Thinking of this, she lifted the safety device in a chic manner, and raised her legs to get off the aircraft: "Well, let's go."
Then I sadly forgot that the aircraft formation piloted by Mei Na did not have a telescopic ladder, because the special forces were jumping up and down.
Chen Yan sat on the ground "very smoothly", and happened to see the well-proportioned and slender legs wrapped in the black combat uniform in front of him......
"Colonel Reims". She quickly got up and saluted, and then secretly despised herself: Didn't you fall because of this person's order, can you have a little backbone, Chen Yan?
Just when the expression on her face was unpredictable, Mei Na immediately jumped down and relieved her embarrassment: "Boss, I'll take Chen Yan to calibrate." ”
Lance nodded expressionlessly. Then Chen Yan only felt as if he had an elevator, and entered the cabin in the blink of an eye. This is not scientific, with the strength of human muscles, it seems that it cannot be ...... in such a short period of time Wait, what about the muscles that have been strengthened, the instantaneous pull can be......
Meina's enlarged face suddenly appeared in front of her, and she said jokingly: "Hey, look at our boss looking stupid? But it's no wonder that the figure of the boss is rare among technical soldiers." "I have to say that the special forces have a special spirit of jokes that are not afraid of death, which is reflected in the fact that they do not distinguish between situations and people.
A cold gaze like substance came from above her head, and Mei Na didn't raise her head to change her expression at the speed of light: "Hurry up, it's dangerous here." ”
Chen Yan: ......
