Chapter 227: Air Combat

In a very narrow stone cave, two spontaneously combusting lamps are burning, and at the entrance of the cave hangs a metal barrier that makes it impossible to see the light from the outside.

Several people in the cave sat around the fire and ate the food they had brought with them.

Ever since they set foot on this rocky beach, they hadn't found any human or animal activity, and they were all captured by the cyborgs outside.

After an afternoon of observation, they discovered that the cyborg warriors were escorting humans and other wild animals down the bridge to the castle opposite.

Other than that, there is no other way through the strait.

They thought about going through the water, but the unique environment here caused the undercurrents in the water below, and it was too dangerous to enter the water without understanding the underwater dynamics.

Zhang Xiaohu came up with an idea, that is, they could take the initiative to expose themselves, be caught by cyborgs, and then be sent to the opposite castle, so that they could pass through this strait, and as long as they found a suitable opportunity to escape in the future, it could be regarded as a way. However, this method was immediately rejected by himself, and he ignored an important factor, which was that they still carried a large number of weapons and supplies. After they are captured, these things will definitely be taken by these cyborgs, and they will lose these essential things, and even if they can pass through the strait, they will not be able to carry out their mission next.

Zhang Xiaohu thought of the previous plan of feigning to be captured, and he needed to think about it in the long run. So, they had to leave for a while, found a remote cave nearby, rested in it, and made other plans.

"If you want me to say, let's change places, although it will take a long detour, but it must be safer than here!" Peng Jiadong continued with the advice he had made during the day. However, this method also has a problem, that is, when they leave here and go to other places to search, they are also destined to face two problems, one is that the distance of the strait is too far, and the terrain is too complex to pass; The other is that in other locations, there are similar castles on the other side, and they have delayed time and energy, but there is still no new solution.

Zhang Xiaohu analyzed the current situation with everyone one by one, and they didn't have a good idea for a while, so they decided to leave here tomorrow and try it elsewhere. After all, they've been very lucky lately, and maybe they can really have something else!

They decided to have a good rest here tonight, and leave here early tomorrow morning to find another way to enter the C continent.

In the second half of the night, everyone else around him was already snoring, only Zhang Xiaohu really couldn't sleep, he wrapped himself in a blanket, stared at the flames, and thought about how to carry out the following actions. He knew that the time left for him was actually not sufficient, Li Yichen and the others had been taken away for a long time, and who knew if the 4th would conduct any experiments on them during this time. And now that the Legion of the Victims is at war with No. 4, once the situation on the battlefield is not favorable to No. 4, will he use these people to blackmail the West Pole? According to Zhang Xiaohu's own information, Xiji is not a person who is good at concessions and compromises.

Looking at the sleeping companions around him, a strong sense of helplessness rose in his heart! It's not that his current partners are not good enough, it's just that the three closest people to him are not here, and I feel that it is very unpractical to do things!

"Boom! Bang! Suddenly, there was a dense explosion outside the cave, and many small stone chips fell in the cave, and the ground trembled slightly.

Immediately the sleeping people awoke. They quickly picked up their gear, put away the barrier at the entrance of the cave, and ran outside.

In the originally calm night, dozens of spaceships suddenly appeared in the sky, fighting each other, and from time to time the spaceships that were hit dragged a long smoke and fell to the ground, launching a violent explosion.

"Who sent these?" King Peter wondered.

"We haven't seen either of these two ships!" Zhang Xiaohu identified it and found that the ships fighting in the sky were all unfamiliar forms.

One of them is a roller-shaped, seven or eight meters long, flying extremely fast, with a circle of cross-shaped weapon racks around the drum, mounted on which are mounted various powerful deathlight weapons, capable of firing fierce deathlight rays.

On the other hand, it is not difficult to judge, it should be No. 4's subordinates, the aircraft is designed like a round beehive, although it moves slowly, but there is a layer of pale yellow shield around him, which resists most of the opponent's attacks. Instead, he fires a missile that automatically tracks enemies.

The design styles of the two ships are completely opposite, but from the current combat situation, it can be seen that the Hive Craft of No. 4 has the advantage, and most of the aircraft that fall are the same drum shaped aircraft.

It was like a grand fireworks display in the sky, and all kinds of dazzling lights lit up the entire night sky. Combat aircraft are cruising in the air, dodging, and performing all kinds of incredible flight maneuvers!

Through observation, Zhang Xiaohu felt that there should be no pilot in these two types of aircraft, and the system should be self-controlled, because some actions are very exaggerated, as long as it is a conscious living body, it cannot withstand the huge overload force.

Both sides of the war used five units as a combat unit, one of which was the main attack point and the other four were covered on the flanks.

This rare air battle scene was something that Zhang Xiaohu and the others had never experienced at all, and they stared intently at those flying machines and watched the changes in the battlefield.

The battle between the two sides was only fourteen or fifteen minutes, but there were already more than a dozen huge flames rising into the air on the ground, all of which were downed aircraft.

The drum-shaped aircraft seemed to sense that the situation was not in their favor, and quickly scattered and flew away. Of course, those hive-like flying machines would not let the offender go so easily, so they adjusted their formation and quickly followed each other away.

A few hundred meters away from Zhang Xiaohu and them, there was a huge flame, the red blazing fire could be felt even if it was a few hundred meters away, the air nearby was heated, Zhang Xiaohu and they felt the high temperature, and they were dripping with sweat.

"Zhang Xiaohu, do we need to go over and have a look?" Xu Haitao looked at Zhang Xiaohu and said.

"It's just a pile of wreckage, there's nothing to see, let's not go over! It's too dangerous! Zhang Xiaohu was talking, they all saw a white light rising from a very far distance, and then they heard a huge explosion that shook their hearts, and when they subconsciously covered their ears, there was a huge wave of air blowing from the place where the white light came out, quickly knocking them over to the ground, and many small stones were also blown farther away by the sound.

Zhang Xiaohu rolled on the ground three or four times, he couldn't control his body at all, and he was hit on the head several times by the stones mixed with the qi waves.

His mind went blank, completely unclear about what had happened and why this sudden turn of events had occurred.

His backpack happened to get stuck in a crack in the stone, holding his helpless figure in place.

As the air wave subsided, the huge momentum just now also disappeared, and the air was covered with dust, choking Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly took out the gills and put them in his mouth, which is a suggested air purifier that can be installed in the mouth very conveniently. No matter how bad the surrounding air is, as long as the mouth shouts gills, it will automatically filter out the harmful substances in it, ensuring that the air you breathe is suitable and safe!

However, the filter element in the gills of this kind can only be used for just five minutes before it needs to be replaced, which can be regarded as a very fast consumption equipment! However, it is suitable for taking out and using in an emergency, so Zhang Xiaohu has always put the gills in his jacket pocket that is most accessible.

After five minutes, a filter element automatically popped out of the gills, Zhang Xiaohu felt a smell of sand in his mouth, and hurriedly spit out the used filter element into his hand, the original smooth and flawless filter element has turned gray, which is enough to prove how terrible the dust content in the air here is!

Fortunately, the dust around him has gradually dissipated, Zhang Xiaohu just covered his mouth and nose, and did not continue to use the mouth sun, he helped several other people up, everyone was fine, but there were some slight scratches on their faces!

"What was that thing that exploded just now, so powerful?" Song Haoze covered his red and swollen forehead and said.

"Atomic bomb?" Xu Haitao shouted.

"Impossible, if it was a nuclear bomb, we would have turned into a black shadow by now!" Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and denied it. Although the explosion just now was powerful, it did not overflow with radiation and heat energy, it should have exploded an object containing huge powers, and in the process of disintegration, most of the energy was converted into white light, causing a series of chain reactions.

"Boy, I have a bold guess, I think it could be the black castle that exploded?" King Peter identified the location of the explosion and said.

"Ahh Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Then let's go and see, if it is really that castle explosion, it will give us a chance to pass!" ”

They quickly followed the path they had come from during the day, and ran to the shore.

They still had a certain distance before they could tell that the location of the explosion had just occurred was indeed the black castle.

The magnificent castle during the day has now turned into a large burning fire, the highest flame is hundreds of meters, as if it is about to break through the sky, under such an explosion, there can be no living creatures in the castle.

Zhang Xiaohu and the others didn't have time to think about who caused all this, they had to race against time to quickly pass the suspension bridge on the strait.
