Apocalypse Descends Chapter 65 - Air Combat

Shirley is speeding through the Earth's stratosphere in a spaceship, about to make her way to the waypoint.

According to the Earth International Traffic Law, only military spacecraft and privileged spacecraft can jump freely, and civilian spacecraft are set to use the hopping device only in specific locations, and they can only go to the hop point to make a unified hop in case of accidents. Although Shirley drove the Academy of Sciences' spaceship, she did not have the permission to jump freely.

There is a photo in front of Shirley's cockpit, which is also a common display in Western spaceships, and it is nothing more than a family photo.

Suddenly, two spaceships appeared behind her.

"What's going on?" She saw the two ships through the screen, and there were no signs on them, so she couldn't tell where they were coming from. However, judging from the point of view, it should undoubtedly belong to the military.

Or, it could be terrorists.

Terrorists on the planet are far from being eradicated, and one of the tasks of the Earth Defense Force is also to maintain local stability and eliminate these cancers that threaten human security. But at times like these, you can't count on Leslie's men to help.

Because these two ships are none other than Leslie's special forces.

Shirley suddenly became a little nervous, and she descended the height of the ship. Immediately afterward, the two ships behind also descended to the same height, and also advanced to the sides of her, sticking very closely.

"I'm Shirley, the head of the exclusive scientific research team of the president of the Academy of Sciences, and I'll report your identity." Shirley attempts to establish a communication connection with the two ships.

There was no reply. The spacecraft of the Academy of Sciences have the passwords of all terrestrial communication frequency bands, and as long as they are in the earth's atmosphere, they have the right to establish communication with all spacecraft. There is only one possibility, the other party heard, but did not want to reply, or was too lazy to reply.

"Report your identity, repeat, report your identity!" Shirley was a little anxious, she thought it was really a terrorist. This kind of civilian spacecraft purchased by the Academy of Sciences from external bidding has no protection capability at all.

It is not possible to receive a response. The two ships appeared to be waiting for orders and did not make any further attacks.

Eventually, the two ships parted on both sides and seemed to fly away.

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief. But then she heard the sirens of the ship locking on. The so-called lockdown is nothing more than a proper noun for the use of human missiles, and the weapons of other civilizations or the engines of ordinary spaceships will cause false alarms, so they will only be used within the scope of the earth. Although this is a civilian spacecraft, such a system is essential in an age when even terrorists and rebels can build missiles.

"Damn!" As soon as Shirley lifted the joystick, the ship instantly raised its head and drilled into the clouds. Although there is a lock-on alarm, there is not even a jamming system from hundreds of years ago, such as decoy missiles. Although the Earth Defense Force uses old weapons, her spaceship may not be able to escape the pursuit of missiles.

The spaceship shuttles through the clouds, Shirley is dressed in civilian clothes, cannot perform a high-G maneuver, and the possibility of using maneuverability to throw off missiles is almost zero.

Obviously, the clouds did not block the missile's tracking system, and although the spacecraft had an escape pod, it had no protection after entering the escape pod, and no matter where it fell, it could be attacked before and after landing.

In any case, the ship's maneuverability was higher than that of the old missiles of the defense forces, and Shirley made up her mind that she couldn't care about that much.

She strapped herself to the seat with her seat belt and turned on the autopilot. The autopilot of the spacecraft is very human, unlike the systems used by airplanes hundreds of years ago. As soon as the autopilot is turned on, the system will automatically activate when the joystick is released, and it will be automatically disengaged when the joystick is held.

Then she took a deep breath and threw a high-G spin to the right.

In a matter of seconds, the spacecraft streaked through a semicircle in the air, and although the time was extremely short, it was still several kilometers long because the speed had already exceeded the speed of sound several times. Shirley screamed and endured the G-force headache, her hands still clutching the joystick. A few seconds later, the powerful G-force instantly made Shirley faint, leaving two nosebleeds, and the microvessels had been crushed.

The two missiles did not keep up with the speed of the spacecraft, lost their target in the clouds, and still flew straight forward.

Shirley, who had passed out, let go of the joystick with her hands hanging limply, and the ship returned to its steady state and flew towards the headquarters of the Geneva Academy of Sciences. However, due to the rupture of blood vessels, Shirley's physical condition is already very bad. If left untreated, it can lead to permanent brain damage.

As the ship continued to fly at high speed, a slightly larger ship appeared near it.

It only took a minute for the Whirlwind Commander to recharge, and Zhang Chuanlan activated the charge as soon as he discovered that Shirley was locked by the missile through the video device, and finally arrived in time.

Due to the small size of Shirley's ship, the Commander Whirlwind's landing grappling hook could barely grasp its hull. Zhang Chuanlan manipulated the Whirlwind Commander to swing up and down twice, and it seemed to be quite stable. Initiating a flip in such a state may be risky, but it is not much to worry about.

In the minute when he was recharged, Zhang Chuanlan found that the two spaceships that had already left had gone and returned, maybe they didn't leave at all, but just kept a distance to follow up, and couldn't help but blame himself for being careless. He learned about the situation through the cameras on Shirley's body, and Shirley obtained information through the detection device of her civilian spaceship, which could not be detected even if the two ships did not leave.

"Why, even if you see my Commander Whirlwind, do you still want to attack?" Zhang Chuanlan knew that his spaceship was extremely recognizable, and it was impossible for anyone not to know who was sitting inside.

The two spaceships didn't seem to dare to make a mistake, and flew with each other for half a minute, and then left and went.

The Commander Whirlwind's hopping device had been activated, and back on the Hindenburg's tarmac, Zhang Chuanlan shouted to the first responders and sent Shirley to the infirmary.

Leslie in "Jesus" Command stared at the screen, the image frozen in the moment when Commander Whirlwind grabbed Shirley's ship.

"Hell." Leslie covered her forehead and slammed the table with her other hand, "How did he know?" ”

Zhang Chuanlan had already recognized the two spacecraft, they were from the Earth Defense Force's special service group. No numbering, no livery, no communication. But the existence of this organization was known at the top of the military. What do Earth Defense Forces want to do? Could it be that they have already confirmed that Shirley is a spy? He didn't think of other possibilities.

"Chairman, the operation failed." Leslie lowered his head and reported to Marshall, who had a hunch that an outbreak was about to erupt across the terminal.

"Failed? Why! Marshall roared at the other end, "She's just a scientist!" What do your special forces do for food? ”

"Taking into account the complete destruction of the black box of the ship, instead of laser cannons, we used high-yield missiles. But unexpectedly, she dodged the first wave of attacks, and our people wanted to attack again, but they encountered Zhang Chuanlan's Whirlwind Commander. Leslie said helplessly.

"Zhang Chuanlan? He ......," Marshall's tone became a little elusive, "why would he be there?" ”

"I don't know." How does Leslie know.

"Then find out what his relationship with Shirley is." Marshall ordered, "This is a big mess...... Think of a way not to let Shirley tell Zhang Chuanlan what she knows. ”

"Yes, I'll figure it out." What can Leslie think of, the man has already arrived on the Hindenburg, and he, the commander of the Earth Defense Forces, is beyond the reach of the whip. However, there are still risky moves to make......

As the flagship of the fleet, the Hindenburg was rarely attacked, so there were plenty of medical facilities inside the ship to accommodate the wounded in wartime. Shirley was sent to the operating room, and the treatment was timely and should be fine.

Sitting outside the door, Zhang Chuanlan kept thinking about the strange behavior of the two spaceships. Their immediate commander seemed to have considered whether to attack him, so they did not flee immediately. Who has the audacity?

Considering Leslie's special relationship with Maher, what is the relationship between Marshall and the paper documents sent by Shirley on Marshall's desk?
