In the early morning of the ninth day after the start of the large-scale lawn mowing operation, most of the dark clouds that had accumulated for nearly half a month dispersed, and the long-lost sunshine finally showed half of its face from behind the clouds.

In this cloudy weather, the Kuroshio that entered the bloodletting area is still rolling forward, and its number has changed from three yesterday to six.

The three tides of the awakened who entered the bloodletting area yesterday rushed to the forefront, and the three waves of the tide were arranged in a zigzag, pressing towards Changtai violently. In the midst of this flood of creatures from the Awakened, there is one Awakened that stands out from the rest.

The Awakened was very petite, it was riding on the shoulders of a fourth-level Red Devil, his eyes were red, he had no pupils, his head was nearly twice as large as the normal Awakening, and his body was pitifully small, and his limbs showed obvious signs of degeneration. His hands and feet are no thicker than those of a baby, and his skin is light purple and rubber-like, making it look like a humanoid octopus.

The strange awakened one, with its limbs as hard as hard, wrapped its hands around the Red Devil's neck, and its feet went through the Red Devil's armpits and circled around his shoulders twice. In the middle of his forehead was a one-foot-long, pinky-finger-sized tentacle with a large eye on the tip of the tentacle.

With such a strange shape, the Awakened are unique among the Awakened Black Tide, which numbers close to 40,000. The Red Devil who was carrying him on his back had evolved to the fourth level, and compared to the Three-Pole Red Devil, his biggest change was that his mouth had become wider, and his two lips had almost expanded to the base of his ears. In addition, the carapace that was originally all over the joints of the body began to fall off after evolving to level 4 - after the awakened evolved to level 4, they often evolved to two extremes: or, like the Red Devil, the thick carapace that protected the vital points on the body gradually fell off, and the protection was handed over to the source force shield of the body. Or go straight to the other extreme, and the carapace on the body becomes thicker and harder. If it is divided according to the four different systems summarized by Lin Feng, the former is obviously the energy skill system, and then the physical body is the amount system.

The Red Devil, who was following the Kuroshio at high speed, suddenly stopped. Almost at the moment he stopped, the three waves of the Awakened Black Tide, who were still advancing at high speed, actually stopped advancing at the same time in a second. Its neatness and harmony are unified as if there were only one person.

The "Octopus Man" (tentative name) wrapped around the Red Demon Man's forehead opened at this moment, revealing a pure black eyeball. The black and white eyes rolled a few times, and after a few seconds, three waves of black tides, more than 100,000 awakened people, and the originally neat queue suddenly scattered on the ground with a bang like a collapsed ant colony. Soon they were pepper-sprinkled and scattered all over the plain.

At the same time, hundreds of birdmen burst out of the dark clouds overhead, and four of them with golden feathers flapped their wings, constantly rising and climbing, breaking through the speed of sound in a few seconds, and rapidly climbing to an altitude of 12,000 meters. The golden color of the feathers of these birdmen is much darker than that of the fourth-level birdmen that appeared in the past.

At an altitude of 12,000 meters, four J-20 fighters, one J-11 fighter, and escorting 20 fighter-bombers were flying in the direction of Kuroshio.

Yu Xiaohai was sitting in the back seat of the J-11 fighter, he was not a professional pilot, before the outbreak of the Awakened disaster, he had never received any flight training, he could sit in the back seat of the J-11 fighter just because he was a perceiver.

Just as Ouyang feared, after losing the sea supremacy, air supremacy is also slipping through the fingers of human beings.

The appearance of the fourth-level birdmen is nothing more than a challenge from the awakened to the sky mastered by humans with mechanical civilization, but their maximum speed is only subsonic, as long as they are detected in advance, ordinary planes can easily shake them off with afterburner. The real shock was the fifth-level birdman.

Yesterday, reports came from countries around the world that this kind of birdman, which can cruise at supersonic speeds at medium and high altitudes for more than ten minutes and reach 2.5 times the speed of sound in a short time. This birdman is characterized as a fifth-class bird.

This kind of aerial monster that can break through the sound barrier with only the amount of its body will pose the greatest threat to human air supremacy as soon as it appears. Just yesterday, after discovering the Awakened Kuroshio, the Air Force sent several waves of planes to bomb it, which was supposed to be an excellent opportunity to eliminate the Awakened in large numbers.

However, the whole attack turned into a terrible disaster, and in the first wave of attacks, forty planes were ambushed by a suspected fifth-level bird leading a fourth-level bird-man force.

"When we lowered our altitude and prepared to start bombing, more than 20 birdmen suddenly came out of the clouds and sent out a large number of ball lightning bolts at our aircraft formation. As soon as this blue ball lightning approached, the plane made of metal was automatically sucked over, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty planes plunged headlong into the ground as if they had lost control, and the tactics of those birdmen were so strange that the timing of the assault was cleverly grasped, it was as if they had turned on a radar! ”

Wei Changkong, the driver sitting in the front seat, was a survivor of yesterday's air raid, and he will never forget the scene in his life. He can't forget the scene of those comrades who parachuted in the air and were torn apart by the birdmen in the air.

He survived by luck, and the combat report he replied to his superiors with the following paragraph:

"Among the awakened beings, there must also be beings similar to perceivers! When the radar is not effective, the Awakened can see us, but we can't see them! ”

The loss of more than 20 planes is a huge loss, but the greater loss comes from the pilots, which in the last days are a more precious resource than airplanes.

"The Air Force also needs its own radar, it needs its own perceiver!"

The Air Force people even called Ouyang directly, asking him to seconded "the man who made it impossible to make it possible" to the Air Force to serve as a "human radar".

Of course, this request was vetoed by Ouyang, but he compromised and sent three perceivers to the Air Force, and the rest of the sea sat in the back seat of the J-11 fighter under such circumstances.

When he was still ten kilometers away from the target, Yu Xiaohai sensed that the birdman was rapidly approaching five kilometers away, and he shouted nervously:

"Twelve o'clock direction, five kilometers, more than twenty only four are particularly strong!"

"It's yesterday's bastards!"

Wei Changkong cursed in his heart, and after receiving the alarm, four J-20 fighters and one J-11 broke away from the formation and swooped in the direction where the birdman was flying.

On the instrument panel of the front flight cockpit is a family photo, in which the woman and child are smiling at Wei Changkong, who is his family.

Since yesterday, every pilot who has made a sortie has understood that from now on, every sortie is very likely to be a single mission that will not return.

They didn't want to fight the fourth-level birdmen, but as bait to lure the birdmen away and fight for valuable bomb drops for the bombers behind.

It was a life-or-death mission, but the pilots had no choice.

In the communicator, the pilot's heroic voice was heard.

"For the sake of our children, go on!"

Wei Changkong, who knew what he was fighting for, had a fearless face, while Yu Xiaohai, who was in the back row, had a miserable face.
