Chapter Seventy-Eight: Unpredictable Fate

The sun sank into the horizon, and darkness once again enveloped the eastern Pacific Ocean. 【Latest chapter reading. Maybe the night will still come, but there will definitely be sunshine the next day.

The aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk turned due west from headwind, the recovery of the last carrier-based aircraft was over, and the flight deck personnel could finally have a good rest. The deck attendant began roll call. In such a fierce battle, no one fell into the water, no one died in battle, and the whole list was read, and no one was missing, which is a good feeling.

The light grew dimmer, and the island's lights lit up, illuminating the flight deck in amber. The take-off area guidance light on the foredeck is still on, and there are still planes to work on the aircraft carrier. Most of the people had already exited the operator area from the port side, and it was noticed that the starboard lift was activated again, lifting up from the hangar.

Bill, the head wolf, was also on the flight deck, looking in the direction of the elevator, his eyes full of reluctance and frustration, and this sense of failure even overwhelmed his successful battle just now. He was looking at Kara, a plus-size girl approaching the flight deck with a huge F-24 Tomcat II heavy fighter jet lifted by a lift. There was a man sitting in the back seat of the plane, who was beaten, and Bill's medical team lifted him out of the rescue pod and did a full examination. He was in good physical condition, and even his brain activity was not abnormal, but he did not wake up. The medics tried nothing to wake him up, and they couldn't even figure out why he was asleep.

Kara decides to take the Meng Struck with her and take her to the former Borli headquarters of the Stone Lion Corporation, where she received the guidance signal. She had always believed that there was a call for her. Borli was once the birthplace of the Stone Lion Company, and it was there that the Meng Struck was sure to be saved. Now it was imperative, and it had been Kara's long-standing plan, to go to Bori with him. For so many days, there should be an answer to what the guiding signal from Borrhus was, who sent it, and what it meant.

"So, just let her go?" Bob yelled, he couldn't believe Bill would give up so casually.

"Twisted melons are not sweet."

"Who asked watermelon, is there a watermelon to eat tonight?"

"No, it's a Central Continent proverb." Bill's interest has always been in Chinese studies, and he finds witticisms and idioms equally interesting, "People who want to go, even if they stay, don't make sense." ”

"Oh." Bob always felt that something was wrong, so he thought about it and reacted suddenly, "I didn't say Kara, I meant Meng." If you let Kara take the Batter, that guy will turn into a Hundred Days. If he transforms again, I don't think it's so easy to deal with, but the Hundred Days Ghost is powerful. ”

"So what?" Bill turned to Bob and smiled his trademark, under-flattened, confident smile.

"Oh? Oh yes, Bill. You're right. Bob laughed too, "So what. Hahaha, you said it so well, I like it. ”

A woman's voice came from behind him: "What's so funny." ”

Bob looked back, it was Casey coming, and he repeated Bill's words again, which should be funny and wonderful, Bob thought.

Bill was also relaxed and asked Casey, "How's it going?" ”

"If you ask your fighter jets, they can't all be recovered, they are broken to pieces. However, the data has been fully recovered, and the new system has been ported and commissioned. ”

"That's good. What about the USS Washington? ”

"The deal went smoothly. The Washington's Centennia-related lab equipment has been lifted, and they've taken a lot of supplies from us. The form is here. She gestured for the tablet in her hand.

"Well done. The equipment on the Washington, though not able to wake up the slams. But with them, you will definitely be able to improve the 100-day ghost system. Just waiting for my decisive battle with Meng. ”

Kathy smiled, but didn't reply. Reaching out and handing a fax to Bill, "If you think about it, you better worry about this first." ”

Bill took it, glanced at the name and title of the fax head, and knew that the other party was not small, and this thin fax could be said to be extraordinary.

Bob also leaned over and read as if he were reading: "...... Mr. Bill Prince, Director of Prince & Company, and all the crew of the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk are invited to visit ......"

Casey continued, "It's an invitation from the Central Continent, saying that we are the hero ship that exterminates the Hundred Sun Ghosts, and hopes to invite us to enter the Central Continent to participate in the celebration. ”

"Those guys reacted fast enough, we haven't sat down yet."

"Looks like a trap."

"Of course, and it's the kind of trap I like, to my liking."

"How do you reply?"

"Go! Afraid of what. Bob yelled from the side.

Bill handed the fax to Casey and grabbed her wrist with his palm: "Leave them alone, such a big matter should be discussed in the ship first." As for the celebration, shouldn't we have one of our own? ”

"It seems to make sense." Bob chimed in.

Casey smiled generously and didn't reply to Bill, bowing her head and turning away.

"What's going on? Bill, I'm getting more and more confused about you. ”

"It's okay, Casey needs to plan tonight's big barbecue on deck."

"That's great, it's a good thing, why did she blush just now."

"Because you're asking too much." Bill suddenly thought of something, and asked again, "Who knows what happened to those people on Baker Island." ”

"Who knows." Bob looked at the dark night sky, "They don't have enough fuel, so it's impossible for them to go back to Baker Island." ”

"Didn't we get a rescue signal from our side?"

"Nope. If there is, the helicopter of the rescue team has already moved. Now there is only one on duty, and it is still deliberately on standby for Kara's takeoff. ”

"I see." Bill also looked at the night sky, he wanted to recruit the group of mercenaries, but as he said, the twisted melon was not sweet. Since this group of mercenaries is willing to follow the Hundred Day Ghosts, they can't force it. In fact, the things that mercenaries pursue are first of all to live, the second is money, and the third is power. Such a tenacious crowd always wants to rescue, but they think too highly of themselves.

The range of the night is expanding westward.

Not far to the south, the Baker Island convoy maintained a slow flight. In order to save fuel, the fleet uses high-altitude and low-thrust cruise. Although this method is easy to reveal their whereabouts, and it is inflexible and extremely vulnerable, it is the only way they can be rescued. The oil bar has long since returned to Baker Island and is now out of touch.

Maverick didn't want to disappoint the mercenaries, and he didn't choose to go back to Baker Island because he couldn't go back. All he wanted was to keep the group of mercenaries alive, and nothing else mattered. This is easier said than done, and skydiving has become the only option for everyone. But in the dark of night, the chance of being rescued is zero.

The calf has its own ideas. His aircraft is also a Whooping Ghost System Loader, which has a stronger ability to obtain intelligence. The fighter easily retrieved the information Mavericks needed, and it was the only straw they could sav.

"We're here." He said suddenly.

"Where's it?"

"Ahead."

"Ahead?" Some craned their necks to watch, as if they could see something in the black waters of the night. Some fighters are better equipped and preemptively say, "Ship, it's an aircraft carrier." We are saved! ”

They couldn't help but cheer, though they were weak.

"It's a mercenary ship, and it's open." Maverick was just as excited, "The ship, code C, has already been contacted. As soon as they heard that we were from the famous Baker Island, they immediately agreed to accept it. ”

Who doesn't know that the Baker Island convoy is a wealthy team, sitting on the only safe route for refugees from the United States, and donating a lot of money.

"But my plane can't land on the carrier." It was raised.

"It doesn't matter. Pilots of land-based aircraft, as well as anyone who does not want to make a night landing, can parachute directly around the C ship, make a forced landing, and do so. They are ready for rescue. Each of us just needs to board the C ship intact, and we will have the new plane. ”

"What you say, it's decided!" The mercenaries got excited. It's too easy to just skydive into the sea.

However, the calf had no intention of landing in the sea. He would never give up the plane his father had left him, and more importantly, he still carried all the one-way blocking repeaters of the Zounier system. As long as these things are still there, as long as there are enough pilots, he can form an all-hundred sun ghost squadron at any time, and that is a formidable force.

That being said, flying the F-16 aboard an aircraft carrier is quite risky. His fighter has a forward-swept wing that allows it to maintain a lower stall speed, adding a touch of possibility to boarding.

At this time, the advantages of the 100-day ghost system are reflected. Maverick has no experience with carrier landings at all, but the Whooping Ghost system can take over control. As long as you know the flight quality and flight purpose of the aircraft, the whooping ghost system can help the rookie pilot complete the required actions.

On the sea, the mercenary aircraft carrier codenamed C slowly grew larger, and its outline gradually became clearer.

"It's a small ship."

"This is not an aircraft carrier, this is an escort aircraft carrier converted with an amphibious assault ship."

"Forget it, the boat is too small, I still give up. I skydive. ”

"I'll give it up too."

Mavericks don't give up, and they don't have to. The onboard whooping ghost system has completed the simulation calculations and is starting to maneuver the aircraft to lower its flaps, reduce its speed, and glide in a perfect curve. The landing shock must be within the range of the landing gear of the F-16 fighter and meet the needs of the ship.

The Maverick's attention was completely off the landing, and he knew he couldn't help in any way. Like a child, he leaned on the bezel of the cockpit canopy and admired the mercenary ship in front of him. Square, standard amphibious assault ship converted ship.

"This is a battleship that has been attacked." He exclaimed, "It's incredible that I'm able to get on this boat." ”
