Chapter 13: No Root, No Life

The fear caused by the unmanned fighter spread rapidly, like a drop of thick ink dripping into clear water, black and unpredictable, instantly turning a qiē into a dull and chaotic place.

In the face of the screams and screams of the safari mercenaries, the fighter plane was completely unaware of it, completely ignoring these various miscellaneous fighters piloted, and still flew forward on its own, sprinting straight and steadily. The hunting area gradually quieted down, and the mercenary fighters were still circling, but they couldn't help but reduce the engine speed and stare at the Walliers drone stabbing in the air. Apparently only the sound of its engine matters, and it becomes the heart of all the qiē.

Soon, the unattended attitude of Walliers' fighter jet angered the group of mercenaries. If the group of mercenaries were still trembling with fear just now, at this moment, their strong anger made their necks thick and red.

"Where's the thing! How can you be so bold. "Someone was cursing on the public channel.

"Is there anyone accusing zhì! Is it remotely controlled? Who is it, deliberately mocking us! ”

"Who's in control! Stand up. "Although the shouting was loud, no one dared to step forward. The drone in front of you doesn't seem to be of any interest to anyone else either. You know, if it wants to check the qualifications and registrations of all the mercenaries here, it will have to enforce a large number of people. The drone did not change its speed and rushed straight and smoothly. It's not so much a bold provocation as it is more like a sleepwalk after falling asleep. During this time, the Walliers drone brushed past an F-8 mercenary fighter jet, ignoring it, but frightened the mercenary so much that his face turned pale and his heart almost stopped.

Casey confronted the Walliers drone face to face, in a calm mood.

"This is my best Grim Reaper."

She felt that it was at least better to die at the hands of the Walliers drone than to die in a mercenary dogfight. If possible, her death may also strengthen the anti-drone voices of the former continental United States and further restrict drones. That would be the last help to Bill the wolf.

There was no evasion, and there was no active scanning by the fire control radar, and the other side was getting closer and closer. The stealth drone in front of him aligned its fuselage and became more and more flattened; The silhouette of the fuselage, which should have slowly grown, suddenly shrunk like a fluttering flying saucer.

No one stepped forward, no one challenged, and the Walliers drone calmly crossed the border of the hunting zone, broke through the perimeter barrier, entered the emergency shelter zone on the outer edge, and finally reached the chaotic war zone.

Casey didn't change direction either, and she and the other person were flying completely head-to-head. The Vulcan cannon mounted on the nose is aimed in the direction of its attack, and the flat spindle-shaped head of the drone is pinned to the center of the aiming line.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came over the radio: "Exorcism Tower!" The Exorcism Tower is finally working,! God, it's just the right time! ”

Casey also noticed that the Wallills drone in front of him seemed to have been slammed from the side by a hammer, shaking violently from side to side, and then falling down as if he had suddenly fainted. The thing seemed to be struggling after an electronic attack, and the plane did not fall head-to-head, but fell in a flat circle like a falling leaf, and all the aerodynamic rudder surfaces fluttered wildly, like a drowning man.

This scene surprised Casey a little, the drone is impossible to receive remote control signals under the electronic interference of the giant exorcism tower, and even its own system is difficult to work normally. In such a helpless environment, she seemed to see that the plane was scared, struggling to maintain its balance and flight ability to avoid falling.

Déjà vu, this is a survival characteristic that only the 100-day ghost system will show.

A ball of fire flashed on the ground, and the Walliers drone smashed directly into the ground, instantly turning into a fireball, and thick smoke rose with it. For some reason, a hint of disappointment appeared on Casey's cheeks, red from the firelight. Before he had time to look twice, the mercenary exclaimed on the radio: "Another one!" More drones are coming in. Just now, on the through route, another Walliers drone appeared, also heading straight for Casey's F/A-18E-Harv advanced Hornet.

"Sure enough." She raised the corners of her mouth.

What should come is always coming, and it is destined to be its own death. Casey may have been a little desperate enough to face death more calmly than a drone. Even Walliers, who had just been disturbed, was still struggling desperately in the moments before the crash, desperately afraid of death; And Kathy, who really has life, calmly wants to give up her chance to survive.

It's not like she thinks she can't win. Although those unmanned fighters that do not take into account the overload of air combat and have far better insight than humans have an overwhelming advantage in the fight against manned aircraft, it is not completely impossible to defeat drones with the real-time support of the "Exorcism Tower" electronic countermeasures station here.

Casey's despair did not stem from the disparity in strength. She, a former U.S. Navy pilot who had experienced the First Sino-Japanese War and had a face-to-face confrontation with the Central Continent, what scene had she not seen? During the war, all kinds of strange weapons emerged one after another, and countless demonic and strange new concept combat aircraft flew out of the central continent shrouded in black fog day and night, repeatedly attacking the former US troops in this sea area. During the most difficult period, Casey even had the idea that he could encounter the Hundred Days Ghost as soon as possible and be cut off by it as soon as possible, so that he could end his hellish wartime life as soon as possible.

The unbearable First Sino-Japanese War has survived, how can she feel hopeless in front of the Wallills drone made by the former United States and her own people.

At the end of the day, she just felt a little hopeless about the meaning of her own existence.

The younger brother Carl Jr. doesn't need himself anymore. He failed to parachute during the battle of the castle tower, and his seat did not fall off, causing his lumbar spine to fall and injure him, but fortunately he was able to recover his life thanks to a tree branch blocking him. If it weren't for the head wolf Bill's financial treatment, I'm afraid life would be worse than death. Sadly, Carl Jr. wakes up in a not very normal state of mind and is reluctant to meet Casey anyway. He has now been sent by Bill to Canada for recuperation, where he is cared for.

The much-anticipated Mr. Bill Prince no longer needs himself. Or rather, he, a rich boy born with a golden spoon in his mouth, never needed Casey. As a child, maybe he wanted to have a playmate; During the Great War, he probably wanted a wingman pilot he could trust, and he could always have whatever he wanted. Now, Bill's father is dead, he inherits the company, and he takes Yiqiē into his arms, lacking nothing, and naturally there is no need for Casey to drag him down.

Think of the daytime Aviation Defense Show, where he has so many loyal fanbases; The company is full of dedicated people. I'm always following him, what's it?

For so many years, Casey had been by the side of the wolf, and it had become an accessory, similar to a pendant on his body. Bill never seemed to care, either, as if he should have been. Bill is different now, he's mature enough, rich enough, and nothing is indispensable.

For Kathy, she always wished she could be needed by someone. It's not about a sense of responsibility or compassion, it's about belonging. In retrospect, perhaps it was her unbearable poor childhood that caused her unique psychology. When he was a child, the bad relationship between his parents and the poor family environment made little Casey often have to take his younger brother out to work and earn money.

At that time, little Casey could not understand the great change in the world situation. Before the outbreak of the First Sino-Japanese War, the economic war dominated by East Asia had already intensified, the former United States gradually tended to lose the upper hand due to the betrayal of the old European countries, the economy rebounded briefly and then suddenly deteriorated, the domestic employment index fell to an unprecedented miserable level, and the unemployment frenzy swept the country. The president prophesied one ray of hope after another, but hope will always remain on the horizon, visible but not close. It has to be said that the imbalance in the economic situation was one of the reasons for the outbreak of a series of uncontrollable regional conflicts and finally a full-scale war in the first year of the First Sino-Japanese War.

No one in China thinks that they will fight a world war, and the war and politics are too far away from themselves. Casey only knows that her parents are always arguing, and the family can't afford it. When she went out to work, her first question was whether she could provide shelter. As long as she can live outside, she rarely wants to go back to that quarrelsome home. Gradually, Casey had an inexplicable feeling that she would only have a place to live if she was needed. Where you need yourself is where you belong.

Casey has been seeking the stability that should have belonged to her, the future that belongs to her, but she has never been able to get it. The domestic economy is deteriorating, and she is always running into walls everywhere. "Suicide with my younger brother", this idea actually appeared very early.

The change stems from the failure of the head wolf's father's business. His company was confronted by rival companies in the former US arms build-up, and in the end it almost lost everything. All of this, however, sent a carefree, sunny and wild adolescent young man to South Jamaica, Queens, next door to Casey's house.

Since then, Casey has never picked up suicidal thoughts. She felt that she had met someone who needed her, and she felt that she had found a place of belonging and a future.

Over the years, Casey has made countless efforts, she has the future she wants, she does not miss any opportunity to fight for it, it seems that there should indeed be a future that belongs to her. But as she feared, as she said when she dragged Bill from the Subic Bay base to the castle tower, the head wolf would eventually go back to inherit the family business, and the head wolf never needed anyone.

Her eyes were confused, and the past years had been nothing more than a dream. He should have died long before he knew the wolf. Or maybe Casey was dead at that time, and now she's just realizing it.

The second Walliers unmanned fighter was moving at high speed along the flight channel that the first one rushed out of, and the drone also began to be electronically attacked by the exorcism tower, and the sensors and communication and interaction equipment of the whole aircraft fell into chaos, and there were a large number of loopholes and errors in the composition of the aircraft's control and feedback system, and it swayed like the first one just now.

As it flickered left and right, Casey saw a third drone approaching in the distance, and a flash of a fourth plane appeared. In a strange formation, numerous drones rushed towards Casey in a long snake formation. No matter how effective the Exorcism Tower is, there is only one interference channel at a time. In terms of speed, he can collide with at least a fourth plane.

Casey didn't care about the intentions of the drones, nor did she care about the anomaly, she just stared blankly.

Drones, what a perfect Grim Reaper of their own.

The final countdown is over.

I didn't expect this post-death dream to be so long.

She felt a white light appear in front of her, illuminating all the qiē red. "If there's one stupidest woman in the world, it's Casey Green. If she dies one day, it must be because of Bill, because she is so stupid. Bill the head wolf often thinks so.
