The air is cold.

The northern part of country Z, which was supposed to be a white mountain range, has now been transformed into a pyramid-like alien fortress with a terrifying iron-black color.

In the hangar on the upper floor of the fortress, one after another "mosquito" fighters were lying on their stomachs.

"Today's routine check-up is complete." A clone ground crew slowly ticked on the computer, and couldn't help but tighten the collar of his coat a little.

In autumn, the temperature here is below five degrees, and every time the armored vehicles return from patrol, they are covered with a thick layer of frozen soil and cold rain.

The clone ground crew has finished reporting, and at this time they are waiting for the pilot to come and hand over.

He looked out at the plains through the hangar door, then turned on the radio and listened to the system-filtered global news.

"The terrorist case in Chunshen City has subsided, and the Star Alliance police have arrested a total of 392 terrorists."

"The Covenant ambassador accused country Z of its asylum policy towards terrorists in its country, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of country Z regretted this."

The deployment of the next-generation low-earth orbit defense system has been completed, and a spokesperson for the Star Alliance Defense Department said that this system has deployed 108 plasma cannons in low-earth orbit, which can achieve 24-hour all-weather all-area strikes. Terrorists on Earth will have nothing to hide, and there will be no chance of escaping from Earth. After the deployment of this system, it will effectively enhance the military presence of the Star Alliance on Earth and ensure the peaceful and stable development of the universe. ”

……

"9903, you don't want to die, how many times have I said it, you can't listen to the radio during duty time, we're all finished when the leader comes!"

"There was a smell of engine oil everywhere, and the last leader came to see it for three minutes and left." Said the fearless clone ground crew.

"Are you stupid or not, the number of sorties yesterday was three times as high as in the past, and it was either a drill or a war." Clone the pilot.

In fact, for these two low-level soldiers, they don't know what the overall situation is.

As the lowest creature in the alien alliance, they just have to eat and wait for death every day.

However, the situation today is indeed different.

It didn't take long for new news to come on the radio.

"More rebels are gathering in Novosibirsk."

"The Star Alliance Defense Department has determined that the terrorist organization 'Novosibirsk Border Government' is responsible for the Chunshen terrorist attack."

"The Star Alliance will hold a large-scale joint military exercise in the Yablov fortress group in southern Novosibirsk."

"There's really going to be a war." The pilot muttered to himself.

The sirens sounded, and not long after, several hatches rushed in a lot of soldiers and pilots.

9903 stood up with the pilot and froze for a moment, only to find a commander coming over and telling them to clear the runway and prepare for takeoff.

Like other pilots and ground crews, the two skillfully walked to the "Mosquito" fighter they were responsible for and began the tense take-off operation.

A pilot came over and sighed, "I heard that a squadron is going to be dispatched today, just to find a civilian spacecraft. ”

"Spaceship?" 9903 was stunned for a moment, "What are you looking for that thing?" ”

"I heard that there is a VIP in it, a sports star who defected." When the pilot said these words, his eyes revealed a certain habitual feeling.

"Celebrities defected too?" 9903's eyes were a little dull, and before he could reply, he was pushed by the pilot who rushed over.

"Hurry up and take off."

……

After a while, two of the Mosquito fighters flew out of the fortress.

The Mosquito fighter is the main low-altitude fighter deployed by the Star Alliance on Earth. It is cast with Zhiyuanxing alloy, with a variable forward-swept wing design, equipped with a "Hellfire" jet engine, and the cruising speed can reach 4 times the speed of sound. In terms of firepower, the 16 general-purpose missiles equipped with it can destroy most vehicles within 100 kilometers. The 20MM cannon is effective against both ground and air, and the rate of fire is extremely fast. In addition to this, anti-stealth and thermal imaging systems are equipped.

And the most powerful point of this alien fighter is its stealth ability, the thin shape makes it difficult to identify, whether it is optical tracking or radar band, the mosquito fighter can dodge like a ghost, and the bomb area is also small and terrifying.

Of course, as the most advanced fighter on Earth at the moment, the Mosquito can only be piloted by aliens.

Under a blue sky, Pleiades pilot Haru and his wingman Ludel form a two-plane formation to carry out a search operation over a mountainous area.

According to the information that has just been unlocked, it is this mountain area where a civilian spaceship last haunts. The system shows that the damage to the spacecraft is very serious, and the probability of crashing in this area is very high.

But after searching for a long time, they still didn't find a single shadow of a spaceship on this wilderness, not even a living thing.

"It can't be false information." Ludell wondered.

"Look again." Haru glanced at the fuel gauge and saw that it could last for another hour and a half.

After a while, Ludel finally made a discovery.

“…… Boss, what do you think that point is? It's still moving! ”

Haru cut the HUD into a thermal image and looked closely, and found that there was a white dot on the ground that was moving rapidly, and it was still bumping along with the terrain!

Zoom in and take a closer look......

…… Pickup, pickup?

Haru wondered on the spot, how could there be a pickup truck in such a remote place...... Catching shrimp households?!

But...... That's a pickup, it's a pickup, it's not a spaceship, right......

If not a spaceship...... In fact, it has nothing to do with their wool......

But a professional sense of smell made Haru feel that this pickup truck must be unusual!

Haru pondered for two seconds, "Ludel, what do you think?" ”

"Boss, there must be something strange about this matter!"

"Lower the height and take a look!"

"Yes!"

Two Mosquito fighters swooped one after the other......

……

Let's talk about the pickup truck on the ground, which is Xu Weiyang and Xin Mei.

After the accident of Chunshen that night, the two lost contact with Yan Shuangfei.

Later, with the help of the Resistance, the two finally managed to get a pickup truck and two fake passports.

After another period of disguise, the two set off leisurely.

In addition, there are underground comrades all the way, so the two don't seem to encounter any difficulties, but always feel like going out on a trip......

After leaving the border, I saw this blue sky, green grassland, and clear river...... The two are in a good mood.

However, when we arrived in the tundra, the climate was getting worse and worse, and the body gradually became unbearable.

Plus Xin Mei always catches shrimp households......

Xu Weiyang finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, "I said Xiao Xinxin, can you drive slower?" ”

Xin Mei looked serious, "What's slow?" We are running out of food, and we have to get to the base quickly. ”

Xu Weiyang was upside down at this time, and his stomach was overturned, and he didn't bother to bother with her.

I had to relax my body and look at the sky lazily.

At this moment, I saw two black dots in the sky.

Xu Weiyang squinted his eyes and found that the two black dots were slowly growing larger at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.

"What do you see is that?" Xu Weiyang said to Xin Mei.

"Bird......" Xin Mei was obviously not interested, "Don't bother me driving, there are thousands of cars, safety first!" ”
