Morning.

Beneath the grey sky is an undulating sea.

Hundreds of large and small ships, including warships and civilian cargo ships, had assembled in the sea less than five nautical miles from the coastline earlier, quietly waiting for the arrival of a certain moment.

At this moment, a young man wearing a blue trench coat and carrying a black satchel came out of the cabin on one of the medium-sized cargo ships in the fleet.

After looking up at the sky, which was starting to turn a little white, he raised his hand and tightened his trench coat.

"This hellish weather, it's really cold!"

Although the young man said this, he was not seen to turn around and return to the warm cabin.

Facing the sea breeze, he walked on the edge of the deck, holding on to the railing with his right hand and groping with his left hand in his coat pocket.

"I remember putting it here... Well, there it is. ”

As his left hand lifted it from his coat pocket, a shriveled cigarette case appeared in front of the young man's eyes. He shook the cigarette case and found that there was only one cigarette left in the shriveled cigarette case. Frustrated, the young man held it in his mouth, threw the empty cigarette case into the sea, raised his hand to block the sea breeze, and lit the last cigarette.

"Whew..."

Whipped by the chilly sea breeze, the young man smoked a cigarette as he recalled how many hours earlier he had been called to the office by the editor-in-chief.

"What?! Editor-in-chief, you want me to follow the fleet for an interview?! Our army is going to counterattack the mainland? Exterminate the insect?!!! How can it be? Just kidding!! ”

A task that surprised the young man and resisted it came out of the editor-in-chief's mouth.

Obviously, no matter how much the young man does not want to, he can only do what the editor-in-chief wants. Otherwise, he would lose his job and go with someone else to follow the fleet.

"This damn interview!"

The faint light of the cigarette soon reached the end, and after the young man threw it on the surface, he took out a camera from his black satchel and, after some adjustments, began to photograph the large and small boats in the fleet. Of these, he was most concerned about the large freighters that followed behind the fleet.

Obviously, these large freighters are not loaded with cargo, but a huge weapon developed by humans to fight the BETA, the tactical aircraft.

"It's just cannon fodder." The young man laughed inwardly as he took a few more shots.

On the way, other crew members came out of the cabin to breathe. But they didn't care about the young men they were filming around. Because, before, the captain of the ship had already issued a passage permit to the young man to conduct interviews and photographs on the ship on his own.

Suddenly, the young man's movements paused. Immediately, as if he had seen something, he quickly adjusted the focal length of the lens.

In the zoomed-in footage, the young man seemed to see several figures standing on the deck of the large freighter, a hundred meters to the right of the ship. And one of the figures was extremely familiar to the young man.

"That's, that's..."

The camera had been turned to the maximum, and after a blur and then a clear return, the young man was surprised to find that the figure that was so familiar to him was his father. Although he couldn't believe what he saw, through the camera, the middle-aged man he saw wearing a guard driving uniform, cutting his head, shaving his beard clean, and even talking and laughing with others was definitely his father Huo Ren!

In his memory, only when he was a child, when his mother was still alive, would his father have such an image. But after the fall of Chongqing and the tragic death of his mother at the hands of BETA, his father changed. Even in the past few years, he was expelled from the army because of his unauthorized actions during a certain mission. Since then, my father has been addicted to alcohol and has been living in a mess. Even if my son graduated from college and struggled to find a job, he never cared.

However, now, such a father has suddenly changed and once again become the hero who was worshiped by his son as a child.

"W-how is this possible?" The young man put down his camera in disbelief and muttered to himself.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the side.

"Hey, lad. Have you started filming? A strong old man's voice rang out.

The young man looked back and saw that it was the captain.

I saw that the old captain, who was already more than sixty years old, still had a red face, a pipe in his mouth, and his eyes were bright looking at the young man.

"Well, it's time to shoot. After all, I live on this. Although he wondered why his drunken father, who should have stayed at home, was here, the young man forced himself to press down on his somewhat impetuous heart, raised the camera in his hand, and said.

The old captain raised his hand and took off his pipe, and with a kind smile, he raised his pipe and pointed to the whitening skyline in the distance, and said, "Young man, this is the place where you should be shooting." ”

"There?" The young man frowned and shook his head. "Although the sunrise was beautiful, my task was not to photograph the scenery."

"Huh. Is it? The old captain laughed, turned back, and pointed to the shoreline, which was still shrouded in darkness. So, what about this side? ”

The young man looked at the mysterious old captain, and after thinking for a while, he asked bluntly, "Why?" ”

The old captain did not reply, but raised his hand, looked at his watch, and then turned and shouted towards the cabin. "It's time!! Pull the alarm!! ”

"Pull the alarm!!"

"Pull the alarm!!"

"Pull the alarm!!"

At this moment, the entire fleet moored on the sea seemed to hear the old captain's shout, and the alarm suddenly sounded.

"Woo woo woo..."

The shrill sirens immediately tore apart the quiet of the morning, drowning out the incessant sound of the waves.

"Smack!"

"Smack!!"

One by one, the large searchlights mounted on the large freighters were lit.

In this light that pierced the sky, one after another tactical planes were sent to the deck by elevator, waiting for the moment of attack in the piercing siren.

Even if the young man still has some doubts about the old captain's words, he can't miss this best time to shoot before the sortie. However, before he could shoot for long, the old captain interrupted his movements.

"Lad!! Quick, look over there!! "The old captain's voice was so loud that it could drown out the sound of the sirens that rang through the sky.

In that deafening voice, the young man looked up and followed the direction the old captain pointed.

At this moment,

He saw a magnificent, majestic scene.

If it weren't for the young man's clear understanding of what kind of world he was in, a ship on the surface of the sea, perhaps he would have thought that he had witnessed a shocking change that was comparable to a mythical reality.

light

That's the light,

It's just light,

Just the light,

It already made the young man's brain hot, his blood boiling, and his limbs trembling.

Lines of white, green, or purple light continued to pierce the sky from the sky, stabbing straight towards the dark earth in the distance like a sword from the sky.

At this moment, the sky was a rain of light that seemed to be endless, almost forming a burst of substance, rolling down towards the ground, and the underground was the monstrous explosion that was continuous and almost wanted to blow through the earth.

"Boom..."

The cacophony of sirens had not been silenced, but they had already followed in the footsteps of the waves, muffled by the earth-shattering explosions coming from the mainland.

After the young man subconsciously captured dozens of photos in a row, his hands trembled, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, he looked back at the old captain, and the meaning was self-evident.

"What the hell is going on? Old Captain. ”

"Hahahaha!! What a beautiful view!! Boy, take a few more shots and leave me a few!! I'll give you a great gift! The old captain did not answer the young man's meaning, but looked with excitement at the land that was shrouded in light pouring down from the sky.

After that, the old captain seemed a little embarrassed again. So, he patted the young man on the shoulder and pointed to the half-white sky behind him.

"I'll look over there later. My nephew said there would be a good show. ”

"Nephew?"

"Yes. Nephew. Unexpectedly, my nephew, who has always been a heavy drinker, suddenly changed a few days ago, not only sobered up, but also quickly returned to the army and became the guard of the tactical aircraft. This change made me feel like a different person. The old captain sighed a few words and shook his head, his face a little relieved and a little worried.

"Guards? Could it be..."

"Yes. He's in the tactical unit. The old captain raised his hand and pointed to the freighter on his right. The young man was surprised to find that the old captain's nephew was on the same freighter as his own payout.

There was still a rumbling sound in the sky, but when the young man looked over again, intending to take a few more photos, he was surprised to find that the light that had almost formed a wall of light had become thin, and even some of the light was moving farther and farther away, gradually moving towards the depths of the continent.

"It's time!" The old captain lit his pipe, took a puff of his cigarette, and motioned for the young man to look at the sky, where the sun was about to rise. "My nephew said the show would come out at sunrise."

The young man reluctantly snapped a few photos before turning to the east.

Facing the rising sun, the young man squinted at the sky.

Suddenly, the young man saw something, and quickly raised his camera and looked at the horizon, at the sky above the sea level.

black

It's dark,

It was, a huge black shadow.

A black shadow that is so large that you can see it without adjusting the lens.

The young man's heart swooped out, as if sensing something, and quickly adjusted the camera.

As the camera zooms in again, the young man sees a picture that surprises him.

"That's, that's a fighter ?!!"

"Fighters?" The old captain standing next to him took a hard puff of his cigarette and said with some doubts: "Impossible! Those bugs have a ray class, and neither fighter nor bomber can be dispatched. Could it be the one just now... Isn't it a laser cannon? ”

The old captain's sloqué also let the young man know that he didn't know everything. I'm afraid that the nephew only told the old captain some inconsequential information.

Thinking about it, the young man raised his camera again and looked at the dark shadow that was getting closer and closer in the sky.

This time, he saw it.

Golden

In the shadow that could already be seen to be silver-gray, a touch of gold occupied the position of the vanguard.

"So, that's?"

When the young man saw the full picture of the golden figure, he couldn't help but exclaim.

"How is that possible? It's, it's flying?!! ”

The whole body is golden, angular and extremely cold outer armor, four huge shields gathered in an orderly manner on the back, and the golden horn that points obliquely to the sky.

"A golden unicorn tactical machine? No, it is impossible for a tactical aircraft to shine that light. ”

The young man keenly observed two faint green glows quietly escaping from the golden figure's shoulders.

"Attention the whole army! Attention the whole army! ”

Just as the young man was obsessed with observing the golden figure that he had never seen before, the radio from the command ship sounded.

"It's time for battle! It's time to fight! All tactical units, sortie! All tactical troops, sortie!! ”

"Boom !!"

At this moment, the tactical aircraft units that had already been prepared on the deck of the freighter rose into the air one after another with the roar of the engines, and flew quickly towards the continent that was ravaged by the light from the sky.

As a result, the young man, who had not yet observed the reason, fell into a frenzy of capture and photography again, unable to extricate himself.

However, no matter how much the young man tried to capture the picture, he could not accurately capture the image that satisfied him.

It's so fast!

If the tactical aircraft unit does not move, it is already in action, and when it moves, it is as fast as thunder.

As long as it was a little later, the only picture that the young man could capture was the back of the tactical plane, which also made him helpless.

"Captain, can you get forward?" At this time, the young man who witnessed the attack of the amazing tactical aircraft force had forgotten the unpleasantness of being forced here by the editor-in-chief, and only remembered that he had to film the scene in front of him.

"No, the ship can only stay here. Only when you can land and establish your first stronghold can you go to the shore. The old captain refused without hesitation.

The young man sighed secretly, and finally looked at the distant back of the tactical aircraft unit with regret.

Fortunately, what followed was the dark shadow that could already be seen with the naked eye - the aircraft group, the huge "fighter" fleet.

Although it is impossible to accurately count the number of aircraft in the fleet with the naked eye, a rough estimate is that it will definitely not be less than three hundred.

The sea, which had been quiet for only a few minutes, was once again torn apart by a roar.

A thunderous roar,

A fleet of planes that cover the sky,

In the glow of the dawn, the silver-gray paint color added a star-like sparkle to the sky.

In particular, the golden body that occupied the position of the vanguard, and under the glow of the sunrise, it was like a small sun from far to near, leading this huge number of planes to fly over the fleet, causing a burst of wild shouts.

"So, that's a tactical machine? It's beautiful. The old captain stared dumbfounded at the golden mechage that flew over the fleet.

"No, it shouldn't be a tactical machine." The young man finally made up his mind.

"How?" The old captain asked, looking back at the young man.

The young man put down his camera and said eloquently, "The thrusters of tactical aircraft are not like that. And as far as I know, even the country of rice, the birthplace of tactical aircraft, does not have such thrusters. Even if they are brave enough to use the G element as a propellant. ”

However, the young man's words did not meet with the old captain's approval. Because, at this time, the old captain was looking at the young man with wide eyes and a shocked face...... Behind the scenes.

So, as soon as the young man turned his head suddenly, he was frightened by the huge golden figure behind him, which had gone and returned at some point, and he took several steps back.

"The analysis is very good. It's true that my mech is not a tactical machine. Excuse me, are you a journalist? An unfamiliar voice came from inside the golden body.

After hearing this sound, which seemed to calm people, the young man couldn't help but relax.

"Well, my name is Huo Jie, and I'm a reporter." The young man nodded, holding up his camera and said.

"Excellent! Huo Jie, do you dare to make a big news? ”
