North of Geumkawa City.

Settlements of old residents.

Two Viper transport planes flew one after the other and stopped in the open space next to the collapsed wall at the entrance of the Qi tribe.

The soldiers of the Burning Corps basically wore light protective gear above the "Type 5" exoskeleton, and a "Viper" carried only 10 to 15 people.

In order to transport all 500 players of the Burning Corps back to the Iron Heart, which is sixty or seventy kilometers away, these two transport planes alone have to make several round-trip trips.

To be honest, most players don't really want to go back.

The event is coming to an end, and everyone wants to earn more points on the front line.

Besides, the possibility of mutants sneaking up on Ironheart is just speculation from the Springwater Brothers, not something that will happen.

Lao Bai didn't force the guys, after all, the position of the transport plane was not enough.

Except for a few veteran players with high sequence levels in the Burning Corps, other players follow the principle of voluntariness, following if they want to go back, and staying on the front line if they don't want to go back.

To be honest, he doesn't really have a bottom in his heart.

The possibility of a mutant sneaking up on the Iron Heart sounds a bit unbelievable, and the Legion can't do that.

The point is that there is no airport nearby!

Maybe it's because you think too much about the spring water?

"Are mutants really coming?" Sitting in the cabin, Ye Shi, who was beating a drum in his heart, couldn't help but mutter.

"No one knows that everything we are doing now is just a precaution for the whole situation."

Fang Chang glanced at the VM screen, and there was no update in the taskbar, maybe it was really just that they were thinking too much.

Still, there was a sense of unease in his heart.

To say why......

I'm afraid that as Quan Shui said, their offensive went a little too smoothly, and they raided the lair of the Qi tribe in just four days.

And the strange thing is that these mutants are still holding on to the research institute controlled by the Torch Church.

It's hard not to wonder if the sticks promised them any good, or if they had a hole card or two to turn over.

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached into the cabin, grabbed the handrail on the side of the cabin door and crept in.

Looking at Jiang Xuezhou, who was carrying a suitcase, Ye Shi was stunned, and subconsciously blurted out.

"What are you doing here?"

"Go back to the airship," Jiang Xuezhou looked at him strangely, as if he was asking a very idiotic question, "After the sample collection is over, if I don't go back to the airship, will I still stay here?" ”

There is really nothing wrong with that.

The Academy's researchers weren't here to help the Alliance fight, but to help study the synthetic monsters created by Nago and the Torch Church, and to find a scientific solution.

The EMP missile that hit the source of the jamming was purely her own inadequacy, and he almost forgot that this guy was a non-combatant.

Looking at Jiang Xuezhou, who consciously fastened her seat belt, she couldn't say anything to refute her at night eleven hours, but thinking of what everyone was discussing on the forum, she couldn't help but persuade her.

"You...... Or stay here. ”

Jiang Xuezhou glared at him.

"What stupid are you talking about, staying here? I don't want to spend the night here! You have to keep it for yourself! ”

Not to mention that there wasn't even a decent bed here, and the whole camp was filled with a stinking smell of messy things, and she didn't want nightmares at night.

This guy can't bear to let himself spend the night in such a hellish place!

Jiang Xuezhou, who was in a good mood, became more and more angry the more he thought about it.

Looking at the expression on her face, you knew that she had most misunderstood something, and Night Ten was about to explain that she was thinking about her safety, but soon it occurred to her that the possibility of a mutant attack on the Iron Heart was just a speculation during their discussion on the forum, and it wasn't something that would definitely happen.

Whether it is the forum or the discussion on the forum itself, it is difficult to explain clearly, he thought about it for a while, and finally he was too troublesome to explain, and nodded helplessly.

"Okay."

Seeing his reluctant look, Jiang Xuezhou rolled his eyes.

"Do I need your consent, I've already applied with your administrators! Or who do you think this plane is waiting for? ”

Fang Chang and Storm Wind, who were watching from the sidelines, held back a smile, and Ye Shi's expression was a little embarrassed, and he quickly diverted the topic.

“…… Uh, where's your little Wang? ”

Jiang Xuezhou said casually.

"I'm leaving it here, and I'm going to come here anyway, and I don't have to move around. And this plane can't sit down, so let it stay here. ”

The size of that thing was about one-third of a Chimera, and it was really not suitable for moving around, so Ye Shi didn't say anything more.

But then again, he was quite surprised.

I didn't expect this guy to be quite considerate of others......

As he spoke, the door of the transport plane slammed shut, and with the roar of the plasma engine, two Vipers rose into the air.

Jiang Xuezhou blocked his ears, and Ye Shi's eyes didn't know where to put them, so he drifted to a gray night sky outside the porthole.

But at this moment, looking at the gray patch, he frowned slightly, and gently poked Fang Chang who was sitting next to him with his elbow.

"Did you hear anything?"

Fang Chang was slightly stunned and frowned.

“…… Sound? ”

"Hmm."

Ye Shi closed his eyes tightly, nodded slowly, and said in an uncertain tone.

"It's kind of like ......"

When a circle of people heard this, they all looked at him, only Jiang Xuezhou couldn't understand what language he spoke.

After waiting for him to listen carefully for a moment, Tempest looked at him and asked seriously.

"Like what?"

Ye Shi opened his eyes, and his voice carried a hint of affirmation.

“…… Like the sound of wings vibrating! ”

……

The bridge of the Iron Heart.

Chu Guang, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly looked at the gray night outside the window.

Xiao Qi sat on his shoulder, whispered in his ear, and reported to him the news he had just gathered from the forum.

At this moment, the hatch behind him opened, and an officer strode up and gave a military salute.

"Report! Active interference signal detected in the direction of Geumha-shi! ”

The so-called active interference is passive interference such as reflection relative to platinum strips, which actively releases wide-area electromagnetic wave signals to drown out the radar echo, so as to achieve the purpose of making one's own aircraft invisible.

A figurative but inappropriate metaphor is to hold a large flashlight and look it in the eye.

The Ironheart's radar system is so advanced that it can even see birds from up to 100 kilometers away. And because the radar irradiation source is located in the air, there is almost no blind angle for irradiation, just like an ultra-long air warning aircraft with a shield.

The other party obviously didn't have the confidence to be able to fool the eyes of the Iron Heart, so he simply went straight to the method of making a miracle.

But it also exposes their intentions and active interference.

"Is the hook straight bait salty?"

Chu Guang smiled faintly, his face was slightly straightened, and he continued to order.

"Pass my order, all units of the ship will enter a state of alert, all gun positions will be loaded and standby, and all members of the carrier-based aviation team will board the plane and be ready to take off at any time!"

"In addition, let the radar squad continue to search for the location of the active jamming device, and destroy it as soon as it is discovered!"

"Yes!" The officer gave a solemn salute and turned and walked briskly out the door.

Chu Guang then looked at the captain on the side.

"Now that our enemies have put on a posture, I have reason to believe that they are well prepared, and remember not to be careless."

"I believe in your abilities."

"This airship will be handed over to you to command."

After a series of battles in Luoxia Province, he still has considerable confidence in this captain who he personally promoted.

Normally, Chu Guang only makes strategic deployments by himself, and rarely interferes in the command of front-line troops unless players have good ideas that need NPC cooperation.

He still prefers to leave the specific tactical details and execution to professional people.

Feeling infinitely honored by the trust of the manager, the captain nodded earnestly, and put his right fist on his chest to receive the command.

"Don't worry, I'll let you down!"

But when he said this, he hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say more.

"Administrator...... Allow me to say more, if the Torch is really going to target the Iron Heart, it's probably not safe here, and I'd suggest you stay away for now. ”

He didn't fear for his own safety, he was ready to sacrifice from the moment he boarded the airship, but it wasn't just him who was waiting on the steel airship at the moment.

If something happens to the manager, it will be a loss for the entire alliance.

He was obviously not the only one who was thinking like this, but Lu Bei who was following Chu Guang was the same.

This young man, who usually doesn't talk much, rarely took the initiative to speak, and admonished with a loyal face.

"My lord, I think so too! Your safety"

Looking at the two pairs of concerned eyes, Chu Guang only smiled faintly.

"Don't worry about me, I'll take care of myself, and those few bed bugs won't let me walk around."

It's not that he wants to make waves, it's mainly that the two vipers are on the front line and haven't come back yet, and it may not be safe to stay on the ground.

Besides, what do others do when they run by themselves?

He doesn't want to save face?

Looking at the people who still wanted to persuade something, Chu Guang rarely took out a majesty that could not be refused, interrupting what they wanted to say but did not say.

"Enough, since I'm standing here, it means that I have absolute confidence in you, what you should do at this moment is not to change your way to persuade me to change my mind, but to be yourself, do what you should do at this moment!"

"Just do it."

"I'll be here to witness your bravery!"

The resounding voice fell.

He was answered with a high-spirited reply.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

A pair of eyes burned with war intent.

The slightest hesitation and hesitation in the face of an unknown threat was now burned away by this burning flame.

Even if it's well-intentioned, it's an emotion that shouldn't be on them.

From the communicator to the adjutant to the captain, everyone involuntarily clenched their fists, including the guards who followed behind Chu Guang.

They have the confidence to defeat all opponents -

No matter who the opponent is!

This is not only for honor and faith, but also because the majestic figure stands side by side with them at all times.

A silent cry echoed in his chest—

For the managers!

For the Union!

……

The pre-war mobilization had been completed, and Chu Guang left the bridge and left it completely in the hands of the captain and the officers.

And he himself went to the player's save point.

The frontal deployment could be left entirely to his trusted subordinates, but in order to ensure that the entire battle was foolproof, he needed to add an extra layer of insurance to the airship.

This can only be done by his cute little players.

Of course.

The pension will not be less.

The moment his front foot left the bridge, the entire Iron Heart moved like a wind-up machine, methodically and rapidly.

The radar squad quickly locked on to the coordinates of the source of interference, and a 400mm rocket extended-range bomb quickly completed its loading, sending a flame of punishment towards a distant target.

On the other side, offline.

Goblin Corps group chat.

"Upper number, upper number!"

"It's time for work!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

After typing three words in a second, Mosquito immediately put on his helmet and returned to the line, and as soon as he got up from the dormancy pod and went to the hallway, he was confronted by the striding manager.

The mosquito's eyes lit up, and he estimated that the manager had appeared here, and eighty percent had triggered some hidden task, so he immediately cleared the throat of the male duck and said in a loud voice as always funny.

"Good evening, honorable administrator!"

The voice managed to attract the attention of the manager.

Seeing the mosquito brother, Chu Guang's eyes also lit up, but it was not obvious on his face, and he slowly said with the shelf that he should have as an NPC.

"You've come just in time, I have a glorious and difficult task for you here."

WC really had a mosquito overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said.

"Whatever you command! Contemptible people are not talented, but I hope to smear the liver and brain of the alliance! ”

Looking at the exaggerated movements of the mosquito, Chu Guang smiled in his heart, but his face remained silent, and he cleared his throat and continued.

"The task has been updated on your VM, you follow the prompts in the taskbar, and this is the ......"

……

The 400mm gun was aimed at the city of Geumha, and as a thick flame flickered, a rocket with white smoke rose into the sky.

The scream of falling fell pierced the silent night sky, and then the silence of the entire city was disturbed by the deafening roar.

It was as if the day had risen from the ground.

Blew away kilometers of fog.

Looking at the direction of the explosion, Arzu, who was standing on the top of the building, smiled coldly, but it didn't take long for the smile to freeze on his face.

"Tsk."

The good news was that the Alliance did bite the bait he threw out, and a heavy rocket smashed into the top of the camouflaged source of interference.

They hit it very accurately, although it was lonely.

The bad news, however, is that the alliance has installed a nuclear warhead on the rocket's extended-range missile, which is a wide-area electromagnetic pulse caused by the gamma-ray-induced Compton effect.

Although the real jamming device was not destroyed, the electromagnetic wave disturbance at this moment completely exposed the camouflage radar he had placed in the city.

With one more shot, they would be able to completely disable the interference shining on the Ironheart.

And......

I don't know if the flaw that leaked just now has already exposed the mutant's position.

Although he wanted to wait until everything was victorious and appear in front of that guy as a holy son, Arzu knew he had to do something.

Attaching the chip attached to the set of biological armor called "Nightmare", Arzu cleared his throat and slowly reminded.

"It's better for you to fly low."

At this moment, Garn, soaring in the night sky, was reveling in his godlike power, and was still unaware of the confrontation between the Alliance and the Torch Church outside the battlefield.

He's never been stronger!

The whole sky seemed to surrender to his wings!

And the "demons" with sharp teeth and sharp mouths are extremely loyal to him, and he only needs one look to make them die for themselves.

It's like cells in his body!

Just as Gahn was intoxicated, a light voice drifted into his ears, interrupting his boundless reverie.

Feeling a little annoyed by the sound that appeared in his head out of thin air, Garn, who had turned around, frowned, and let out a low roar in his throat.

"Who are you?"

The voice from nowhere continued.

"I am the Son."

Hearing the familiar name, Garn's eyes narrowed.

"You are the Son?"

This set of biomass armor was given to him by the Torch Church, and of course he didn't even know who this group of gods worshipped.

But what he didn't understand was that the legendary Son would communicate with him personally.

Arzu paused for a moment and whispered.

"Yes."

Each and every one of them is a Son.

Although he did not enter the Holy Realm, since he took over Luo Gan's position, of course, he could also claim to be the Holy Son.

The church is not so rigid about red tape for insiders, as long as it is for the sake of the ultimate great plan, everything is allowed.

However, what Arzu didn't expect was that he thought that the green-skinned animal would have a trace of humility because of the name of the Holy Son, but he didn't expect that the uncivilized baboon would only say back. Uninhibited and rude laughter.

"Hahaha! Are you the Son? Then you can watch with your eyes wide open! Watch how Lao Tzu smashed those two-legged animals! ”

Not only did he mean to be low-key and restrained, as if he was afraid that the other side would not notice him, he raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and then kicked his wings and flew higher.

'This idiot! ’

Arzu cursed inwardly and continued patiently.

"Listen, I'm not kidding you, the Alliance doesn't need to look at you if they want to know where you are, don't think you'll be able to sit back and relax if you hide in the fog. If you don't want to hit your head on a metal cannonball, let your men scatter and fly, and don't get more than thirty meters above the ground! The closer the better! ”

Hearing that voice didn't seem like a joke, Garn finally calmed down and reluctantly restrained his temper.

"Got it, can you get out of Lao Tzu's head first, I don't like to talk to guys who hide their heads and tails!"

As he spoke, he retracted his wings and beckoned the minions beside him to descend in height.

"Tsk......"

Arzu smacked his lips and hung up the communication in exasperation, taking a deep breath into the foggy night sky, trying to calm himself.

It's a brute, but unfortunately they need it.

It's all about the great plan.

It is also a necessary sacrifice......

……

On the other side, the bridge of the Iron Heart was busy.

The staff sitting in front of the control terminal has just obtained the coordinates of the interference source newly observed by the radar squad and has entered it into the fire control system.

The 400mm gun slowly adjusted its angle and reloaded a rocket range extender projectile, ready to fire another shot at the real source of interference.

And at this moment, a new report came from the radar -

"A large number of unidentified flying objects have been detected due south! The flight speed is between 97~99 km/h! The direction is right on us, and we are only twenty kilometers away! ”

Hearing the report of the staff, the captain immediately asked.

"How many?"

The staff sitting in front of the control terminal only stared at the screen and replied quickly.

"Ten thousand and seventy-eight!"

The captain's pupils constricted slightly.

Ten thousand?!

His first reaction was that it was impossible.

In any case, this amount is too exaggerated!

And the exaggeration is exactly the same as it was at the beginning-

At that time, the Coalition relied on the decoy machine mounted on the active jammer to attract the fire of the Iron Heart, and took advantage of the gap between the Iron Heart's reloading to drive the transport plane above its head.

Could it be a bait too?!

Outside the porthole, there was a thick black fog, and the setting sun had completely sunk into the horizon. Like a submarine diving deep into the seabed, an airship floating in the clouds cannot visually observe the surrounding situation, and can only rely on radar, which is the only pair of eyes.

After a moment of waiting, the second heavy rocket hit the source of interference in the city.

As the loud sound of rolling thunder pierced through the fog, the ship's radar returned to normal at the same time, and the blurred red dots were finally exposed to the radar screen again.

The captain immediately ordered.

"Scan their outlines!"

He needed to determine what those flying machines were!

After a pause, the staff immediately reported the observation of the radar class.

"The size of the cluster is between 2~5 meters, the flight speed is extremely uneven, and the morphology is constantly changing...... They're too close to the ground! The reflected echoes are seriously disturbed by ground obstacles, and it is difficult to collect their precise flight parameters. ”

The lieutenant looked at the captain.

"IMHO, it's not quite like an airplane...... But if it's a disturbance bait, interference from urban areas is too deliberate. ”

He believed there must be something there.

The captain thought the same, nodded and said in a deep voice.

"What do you think?"

The adjutant pondered for a moment before speaking.

"It doesn't have to be an airplane...... Could it be some kind of xenomorph that is affected by the telepathic interference field? ”

The captain looked at him and asked.

"Can the telepathic interference device cover the area from Geumhe City?"

The adjutant's eyes flickered slightly, and his index finger tapped on the radar screen.

"What if the telepathic interference device is also in there?"

Hearing this, the captain's face changed slightly, and he immediately ordered.

"Anti-aircraft artillery ready!"

"Fire at the radar-marked area!"
