The sudden change made Xiao Bingyi and Lu Renjia almost scream, as if they were about to hit a high mountain. But fortunately, the thing didn't continue to grow in size - it didn't grow anymore after it went from a small spot of light in the distance to a goal-sized "bright moon", and even when the bomber kept flying towards it at high speed, its size remained the same. It's as if the two are so far apart that such an insignificant distance is not enough to change its parallax in the human eye.

After the surprise......

Xiao Bingyi and Lu Renjia glanced at each other, and saw complex emotions in each other's eyes—surprise, excitement, apprehension, fear, and worry......

and the courage to take a gamble.

At times like these, there is nothing like an "anomaly" or a "vision" to rekindle hope. Lu Renjia muttered in a low but irrepressible voice: "Old Xiao, do you see if it...... Isn't it ...... to wear through?"

"I said yes, do you believe it?" Xiao Bingyi clenched his hands and gritted his teeth, "Wait for the order." ”

And the order was delivered to the individual units after five minutes.

Keep heading.

The cockpit of the Giant Falcon fell into a deathly silence. Xiao Bingyi took two deep breaths lightly, and then realized that Lu Renjia was doing the same thing. They stared at the "bright moon" in front of them, and realized that the plane they were flying should be the first to touch that thing.

After thirty seconds of steady flight, the two saucer-shaped drones were first launched as ordered.

This thing is different from the drones used by the Army, which is more like a toy to them. The drones they use can withstand temperatures of up to 300 degrees. It can also tolerate ultra-low temperatures of minus 120 degrees Celsius. Self-propelled and intelligently navigated, it can continue to fly at subsonic speeds for nearly four hours with the help of wind and solar power after the mother aircraft is destroyed.

In the face of something of unknown origin, these two drones acted as pathfinders.

But no one thought of it...... The two drones disappeared abruptly after more than 700 meters away. Not only did they lose contact with the machine, but even their shadows were gone. It's as if the two of them plunged headlong into some void - disappearing directly into the very center of the "bright moon"!

This sudden situation can be called "caught off guard". Because no matter how you look at it, it's quite far away from the fleet. According to Xiao Bingyi's speculation, it would take at least ten minutes for them to see each other's true faces with the naked eye!

It was precisely because of this estimate that they did not change their course, and sent a drone to reconnoiter first when the radar showed that it was thirteen kilometers away from the thing.

But less than a second after the drone disappeared, the thing skyrocketed.

In fact, "skyrocketing" is not enough to describe the scene - it is more like a teleportation. "Jumped" in front of the group. A second ago, it was far away, something like a bright moon. The next second. This thing suddenly became extremely tall and majestic, and the entire formation of eighty-four bombers was encased in it.

Just as when it appeared, it instantly changed from a small point of light to a bright moon, and now it instantly changes from a bright moon to a ring with a diameter of tens of kilometers.

For aircraft flying at high speeds. The distance of 700 meters does not even take a blink of an eye. When Xiao Bingyi and Lu Renjia, who were shocked, saw clearly the patterns on the huge ring that seemed to be extremely far and close...... They were already in an incomparably deep and vast space.

It turned out to be not a bright moon. It's because it looks far away...... It looks like a bright moon.

"What is this?!" Lu Renjia's eyes widened. "Where is this? It's just got caught in?? ”

But the next moment he was shocked by the scene in front of him. No more words.

He saw space—

Light poured in from all directions, and it seemed that the metal shell of the plane was completely useless. He saw nebulae, bright lines, clusters of light, and even a star. It's as if they're in the middle of a universe. An incomparably brilliant yet incomparably distorted universe. Eighty-four Sky Fortresses hung silently in the void, and no one could figure out if they were still moving forward or standing still. Because all the references are incomparably large and distant, even the ring that has just "trapped" them has been transformed back into a small point of light in the far back.

Communication was cut off, and there was silence all around. They could hear each other's heartbeats, and they could hear the panicked cries of others outside the cockpit.

But in reality, the moment lasted only a few seconds. But because of the shocking scene, those seconds were as long as days, months, or even years.

A few seconds later, Lu Renjia saw a "little thing".

It wasn't small, actually, but it was a little insignificant compared to the celestial bodies and the Sky Fortress they were in.

It looked like a drop of water—a shiny silver, sleek surface that slanted across their left side and slid into the void beyond.

Xiao Bingyi and Lu Renjia's eyes were attracted by it, and they owed slightly.

This movement seemed to open something up - the scene in front of him instantly turned into countless streamers, and then danced wildly, suddenly condensed, and finally became an extremely bright and extremely large spot of light, which spread out and suddenly soared in hundredths of a second-

It skyrocketed into a large blue and high sky!

An entire world of the world came rushing towards them, and Xiao Bingyi and Lu Renjia instinctively shrank back, as if this world world would fall at any time and crush them underneath. However, after two seconds of froze, the two of them looked at each other, and at the same time heard a voice from the communicator—

"Call, call. Wild Eagle's heard, please reply. ”

"Call, call. Wild Eagle's heard, please reply. ”

The uncontrollable ecstasy filled the body in an instant, and every hair was filled with joy and a sense of happiness for the rest of their lives - they are back!!

Lu Renjia raised his hand and waved it fiercely, shouting with all his strength: "Wife, son, am I back!" ”

He laughed loudly, and violated the flight rules by trying to reach out and pat Xiao Bingyi on the shoulder. The other party did not dodge. just sat on the seat stunned, and then turned to look at Lu Renjia.

So Lu Renjia's hand stopped in mid-air and grinned: "What's wrong?" Let's go to Mexico now and get a vote for it, and then the class will go back to Korea! ”

But the look of joy on Xiao Bingyi's face froze there, and then he glanced at the dark green screen between the two.

Lu Renjia also looked over, and then didn't close his mouth.

There were two hundred and eighty-three cursors on that screen when I departed from the airport.

After the swarm split, there were eighty-four cursors on that screen.

Now......

There is only one left.

"It's just us." Xiao Bingyi slowly turned his face, "Only we came out." ”

He looked ahead with all his might—not the vast ocean, but a scorched earth.

Height: 1200 m.

Coordinates: 19°28 N, 99°09 W. Mexico City.

"We're late." Xiao Bingyi muttered, "The mission is over. ”

What they saw. Everything is in ruins. There are hardly any intact buildings to be found on the ground. In some places, the fires caused by the bombardment are gradually weakening. It's a joint effort — and the Americans or someone else has already plowed this place.

Lu Renjia slumped back in his seat and didn't speak for a long time.

And Xiao Bingyi connected the other party's call channel and replied tiredly: "H-22 formation, 'Giant Falcon' received." I'm over Mexico City. My formation encountered an unexpected situation......"

But his words hadn't spoken yet. The voice over there had become sharp and rapid—

"Stay away, stay away! Gale-3 is about to arrive at you! Gale-3 is about to arrive at you!! ”

It is said that sometimes. If a person feels too much surprise and panic, he will become numb. They can panic and panic because of one or two unexpected situations, but if the blow comes too often and too intensively. Then the human nerves will be tense to the extreme......

Disconnect it all at once.

As a result, he felt numb from exhaustion from what happened next, and even in the face of a devastating disaster, he was able to become calm and unusually calm, and he was able to talk and laugh freely.

So after hearing the news, Xiao Bingyi and Lu Renjia were stunned in unison.

Then they sighed in unison, very tacitly—

"Holy shit."

Not because of the sharp voice, but because they saw a meteor......

A meteor with a long white trail that swooped down from the sky.

The Gale-3 ICBM is loaded with a 2.2 million tons of TNT-equivalent thermonuclear warheads.

Xiao Bingyi turned his head and grinned: "So let's not be a little late, at least six hours late." ”

And Lu Renjia only sighed: "I want to see my son." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Imperial Air Force H-22 long-range strategic bomber formation. The time of departure was 7:25 on June 16, 2015, and the time of disappearance was 10:22 on June 16, 2015.

At 19:44 on June 16, 2015, the only aircraft in the formation contacted the command center again, codenamed "Giant Falcon". Captain Xiao Bingyi, co-captain Lu Renjia.

According to the archives, the last words they left to the world were "Humanity will win" - and the plane was destroyed by a Gale-3 nuclear bomb detonated in the center of Mexico City, leaving no crew members alive.

The investigation into the mysterious disappearance of the H-22 formation has been going on for a long time, but the exact circumstances have not been known. No one knows what happened to them during the 9 hours and 22 minutes they disappeared, where they were, what they did, and why the only "giant falcon" suddenly appeared in Mexico City.

However, based on some of the anomalies that have occurred in various parts of the world since then, one can roughly guess what caused them to disappear. It's just that the wonderful or unwonderful story behind it will be buried in the fog forever.

But in reality, the disappearance of the H-22 formation was only an insignificant episode in those chaotic years. Even before the sole survivor was destroyed by a nuclear bomb, it was not felt to be of great importance.

Because many more people died in that time—at the hands of the kind.

Because there was another thing that caught the attention of humanity during that time.

At 12:35 on June 16, 2015, the lunar landing program was officially launched. (To be continued......)

PS: This chapter, can I say that it solves an unsolved case for someone......
