38. Chapter 38
Hell yes.
"Muka."
At Shi's instructions, I pressed another button again, and nothing happened, and the red "error" message kept jumping on the heads-up display.
Well, so we're stealing a battleship that doesn't do anything other than flying, and damn it, this battleship doesn't fly as fast as those that seem to have light-speed engines installed.
"Shi, can you tell your companions to find a way to hold their bodies steady and keep their balance? This will be followed by a series of difficult operations, which will most likely cause a huge vibration of the ship's hull. ”
"Wata."
While Shi aimed at the microphone to make a sound and convey a message to his companions, I clenched the joystick and suddenly pushed it downward!
The hull of the ship suddenly dived down at a direction of 90 degrees from the ground, and the weightlessness of the high-speed descent made my body feel a little uncomfortable, not to mention the mermaids and Hetty who had never experienced it before. I tightened my whole body, tried to keep my body in a normal state as much as possible in the form of anti-load movements, and tried my best to convey the essentials of anti-load movements to them in the way of guò broadcasting.
The dense bullets in the rear were like a huge net, and I immediately rotated the hull three hundred and sixty degrees, and the air flow generated by the high-speed rotation resisted the impact of the bullets, although I was careful to avoid it, but the hull was inevitably damaged under the high-intensity bullet attack, and two combat ships had caught up with our speed, and were on our left and right, looking ready to fire missiles at close range.
Damn, the missiles were launched, and at the same time the two combat ships stopped chasing us and moved high into the air.
Thankfully, they left in fear of death, otherwise we would have been in greater danger.
Two missiles flew from the left and right at super high speeds, and I pushed the throttle stick to the top and turned the control stick to a large reef on the surface of the sea.
The heads-up display gave a red warning when approaching the reef, but I couldn't stop yet, a little closer, a little closer...... When I arrived, the last meter from the reef, I jerked the joystick and pulled it up, moving the ship diagonally upwards.
"Boom!"
With the loud roar of two missiles hitting the big reef, the smoke burst out with the crimson fire, and the reef fragments splashed out like the burst of fire, and I turned the joystick to avoid it and flew high into the air.
After this thrilling maneuver, I have become proficient in the maneuvering of this battleship, and despite its size, it is no less flexible than an enemy battleship.
I turned the joystick and rushed to the left battleship, using the effect of the huge volume to block the view, and when I was about to collide with the battleship on the left, I immediately manipulated the burst dawn to fly up, and successfully caused the battleship in the rear to collide with this unlucky battleship and crash.
With this successful experience, I felt more confident and it became much easier to evade the enemy's pursuit, and although Burst Dawn was inevitably damaged by bullet impact, fortunately, the engine and propeller were not damaged, and the hull was able to maintain balance.
By this time, I had already eliminated most of the combat ships, and only four remained.
However, luckily Ai Shen would not always favor us, and as I was about to avoid the missiles in front of me, I felt a tremor on the left side of the ship, and at the same time, the hull seemed to be pulled by something, and it became quite difficult to move forward.
Hell, the steel cables of the two battleships were embedded in the left and right wings of Bursting Dawn, and they were flying in reverse, apparently controlling Bursting Dawn's actions with reverse force, and even more unfortunately, missiles were flying head-on in front of them.
"Guys, hold on—" I had just said this into the microphone, and with a quick turn of the lever and a push of the throttle, the hull of the ship rotated at a high speed of three hundred and sixty degrees, and rushed straight towards a battleship in the rear, accelerating into the air as it approached.
"Boom!" Unfortunately, the missile blew up the battleship, but it was accompanied by a more troublesome problem, because the steel cable of the crashed combat ship was still embedded in the burst dawn, and the hull fragments of a certain weight were swinging with the shaking of the steel cable, which invisibly caused the mobility of the burst dawn to be difficult, while the steel cable of the other combat ship was still firmly embedded in the wings of the ship, and there were two flexibly moving combat ships in front.
If we don't get rid of the tightropes, we're going to be dragged down by this thing.
Realizing this, several solutions immediately came to my mind, but after much deliberation, I thought that the most appropriate solution would be for me to go out of the cabin and burn the thing myself, and use the flames to solve the remaining two battleships.
The bigger question, however, is who will manipulate Burst Dawn when I get out of the cabin?
"Sals." As if in my heart, at the same time as I had just raised this question, Shi stroked my hand on the joystick and looked at me with a determined gaze, as if to tell me that he could.
"Can you?" I know he's smart, but a battleship isn't a simple vehicle like a bicycle, and he's not used to flying at high altitudes, so how could he possibly handle such a complex thing?
"Wata." Shi's gaze became persistent, and I almost saw the burning fire in his eyes, firmness, expectation, and longing for trust.
I think I must be crazy, I think he can do it, he can even do it better than me.
There was no time, and as I dodged another wave of attacks, I didn't hesitate to hand over the joystick to Shi, quickly vacate my seat, and open the hatch. Just as I was about to go out, Shi suddenly grabbed my head and pressed it down, and before I could react, I felt a softness on my lips, and I was pressed against a soft object full of heat......
There was a split second short circuit in my head, which was ...... What's the situation?
His lips were pressed against mine, and it looked like a kiss.
Sky.
The inexplicable kiss was soon over, and he smiled and said to me in a very fluent human language: "Sals, stay safe." ”
I was so crazy that I thought his smile was very happy, like a deep blessing and prayer to my partner before parting...... Oh Sals, what are you thinking about, he's just using kisses - the way the merfolk race likes them - to show his concern for Kasha, yes, it must be, please stop thinking and concentrate on what you have to do.
Yes, what I have to do, use the powers that God Ai has given me to deal with those disgusting battleships.
I glanced at the relief, and although he was not very skilled at maneuvering the Burst Dawn, I could see that he knew the basics, and I didn't have time to delve into how he learned this skill, so I turned into a cryogenic fire bar and wrapped it around my waist, the other end of the fire bar was bolted to the armrest, and then slowly moved towards the ship's wings by climbing the hatch.
The wind is naked. Lu's skin twitched hard, and the air was filled with the salty and wet smell of seawater, I felt dizzy, to be honest, after such a long battle, my body was almost overdrawn, and what I was going to do now was quite risky, you must know that there were still three battleships constantly firing bullets at us, and Burst Dawn would spin, rise, and fall in order to avoid bullets, which was not conducive to maintaining my balance, and I could be thrown out at any time because of this.
Thankfully, Shi was very flexible enough to keep the Bursting Dawn's wings out of the bullets, and I crawled to the side of the steel cable in a thrilling and exciting situation, and then grabbed the crashed battle ship steel cable without any hesitation.
Burn, flames.
"Whew-" The high-temperature flames burned like a crimson ribbon along the rope of the steel cable onto the hull of the battleship, and quickly developed into a huge fireball to encircle the battleship.
"Bang!" The loud crackling sound was deafening, and both the crumbling fragments of the ship's hull and the battleship that had been arrogantly firing bullets at us just now were instantly engulfed by the fire dragon and fell to the sea.
"Hum—"
At that moment, the burst dawn suddenly trembled, and I immediately grabbed the protruding metal members from the wings to avoid being thrown off.
Oops, Burst Dawn has hit the engine, and the flames are burning with gray smoke, so Burst Dawn will crash as a result.
The strong air flow from the high-speed flight made my skin hurt like a knife, and my body was passing little by little, while the bullets and even missiles in the rear showed no signs of stopping, and if I didn't do something, we would all die here!
Bet on Sals, that's all you can do.
I took a deep breath, tightened the cold bars around my waist, closed my eyes, and gathered small fireballs between my hands, crackling and popping in the center of the fireballs, which grew larger and larger as time passed.
I felt the blood in my body boiling, and the moment the sweat dripped down, it was steamed dry by the fire, but at the same time, the energy of my whole body was like a torrent that opened the floodgates, and the two fireballs continued to rush out until the strength was squeezed dry by the fireballs, until the color of the fireballs turned black and grew to the height of a person...... I opened my eyes suddenly, and with my willpower, I quickly ran to the top of the hull, and in the face of the dense bullets, I pushed two bursting fireballs out.
Suddenly, a blue light that was incongruous with the orange light of the bullet flashed through the corner of my eye, and when I realized something, I quickly felt a piercing pain in my left leg, and my left leg suddenly fell to my knees without balance, and blood gushed out of the wound.
I didn't have time to see how the injuries were, and out of my instinct to survive, I endured intense pain and rolled on the hull to avoid the bullets, but after all, my mobility was limited, and I was inevitably bruised by the bullets that were lucky enough to graze through my skin, and thankfully, the tracking fireball hit the two battleships accurately.
The enemy ship crashed amid the sound of the explosion, and I breathed a sigh of relief and immediately threw myself back into the cockpit by pulling the fire bar.
I was shot in the left leg, and the bullet that hit me was so brutal that it pierced a fist-sized hole in my left leg.
"Sals!" Shi saw my wound and shouted excitedly, if I hadn't stopped him, he would have dropped the lever and pounced.
"I'm fine, man, it's just a minor injury......" I struggled to pull the corners of my mouth to comfort him. God knows how much effort it took me to say this, the tracking fireball was extremely depleting of my body's ability, and this damn wound was like a hungry vampire, almost draining my blood, and my eyes were gradually darkening, and I couldn't see what was in front of me.
No, we can't pass out yet, the engine that burst the dawn is broken, we need to make a forced landing, and he won't be able to manipulate it without my guidance.
Hold on a little longer, Sals, just a little longer, just a little longer.
"Sals ......" Just as I collapsed weakly in the passenger seat, a familiar face came to me, and a look of relief blurred into my vision.
"I'm fine, don't worry......" I wanted to shake my head to clear myself, but I couldn't even complete this basic movement, it was too difficult, my consciousness was almost deprived of the pain in my legs, and I was like a shell supported by my will, and my soul was about to leave my body.
At this moment, a hand pressed to my eyes, this hand was very warm, with a familiar atmosphere, like the smell of mother, it seemed to be worthy of my trust and dependence.
"Leave it to me...... Sals. ”
In the confusion, I heard a low voice, I don't know why, it sounded very safe, and it was worth reassuring......
Perhaps, I can give him all of them.
Then I'll leave it to you, the person I trust the most.
Slowly, I closed my eyes in the direction of my hand and fell asleep.
