Chapter 19: Crossing the Pacific
A week later, Lao Mai, who was inspecting the UFO scientific research base, suddenly received a secret order from above, ordering him to return to the No. 5 base headquarters immediately and accept a new mission.
Since he was ordered to patrol the new scientific research base No. 9, he needs to monitor the situation here at all times, and he has been arranged to rest in a temporary rest room in the local area, and has not returned to his room in the guest house on the side of the old base.
Lao Mai has already entrusted all the affairs of the sect to Mai with full authority, anyway, he is his own doppelganger, and his memory, exercises, and cultivation are all exactly the same, which is equivalent to half of his own division.
Including Yu Mu, because he was afraid that he would go out for too long, he couldn't do it in time to instill her earth system true essence to nourish her body once a month, and at the same time, he always went out, and Yu Mu's psychology tended to be independent and he would often be unhappy if he didn't see him, so wheat also had to transform into Lao Mai's body to accompany and fool her.
In this way, Lao Mai was able to stay in the underground military base in Shishan District in peace, patrolling everywhere every day, and no longer nagging Commissioner Dong all day long to go home, saying "a cow in 20 acres of land, and a hot kang head for his wife and children."
As soon as Lao Mai returned to the No. 5 Base Headquarters, he was led by a major staff officer to the video conference room where he had been before.
When he entered the door, there were only three people in the huge conference room, the head of Shenhua 104, Commissioner Dong and the pseudo-ability who could play flying swords, the metallic 306 Xiao Zhong, and no one else came to play any videos.
Seeing Lao Mai push the door in, the 104 chief sitting on the chairman's seat did not speak, but just waved his hand to signal Lao Mai to come and find a place to sit down.
After a while, three more people came in one after another, all of whom were acquaintances, one was Lao Wang, a 301 spiritual ability, and the other two were 303 Xiaojun and 305 Xiao Zhai, who were brainwave communication powers.
104 When the chief saw that the people who had come in were all seated around the oval conference table, he moved his body, put his hands on the table, and said: "Okay, all the people who have been notified are here, and now we will have a meeting and arrange a top-secret task, and all the people present at the meeting will participate in this task." ”
The 104 chief exhaled a heavy breath and continued: "According to the latest instructions of the Central Military Commission, the No. 1 commander of the unit designated me to personally lead the team, and an action group composed of seven of us present will carry out the 'smuggling plan'. ”
Everyone just listened silently, without saying a word, it seems that except for Lao Mai, it is not the first time to carry out this kind of so-called top-secret military mission, although the 104 chief did not specifically say where he was going and what kind of mission he was performing, and everyone did not ask about it.
Although it was the first time that Lao Mai had come into contact with such a top-secret mission that he couldn't say or ask, since the results of his conversation with Professor Zhang on the flying saucer last week, he already knew in his heart that this top-secret mission must be related to the stolen alien corpse.
Obviously, it is completely impossible to start the flying saucer without the alien pilot, and without those alien corpses, this complete alien flying saucer is nothing more than a piece of dead iron, no different from the wreckage of those fallen flying saucers that were picked up before.
After many studies, the conclusion is undoubtedly that the alien corpses must be recovered, otherwise, the research work of the No. 9 UFO scientific research base can only be halted without delay.
The four alien corpses were stolen and transported away by the sea eagle ability organization, and it has been more than a week, and it is estimated that they have all entered the mainland of the United States, if they want to be recovered, they must be chased to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, no wonder it is called "smuggling plan".
104 The chief finally said: "Now, everyone go back to the guest house to rest, get ready, keep the external communication silent, and set off after dinner," as soon as he finished speaking, he packed up his belongings and walked out of the small video conference room first.
Lao Mai was the last to walk with Commissioner Dong, and on the way, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this related to what we said on the flying saucer that day?"
Commissioner Dong nodded silently and did not respond.
Lao Mai asked, "How do I go?" This is the first time I've participated in this kind of outing. ”
Commissioner Dong shrugged his shoulders and said, "The Buddha said that you can't say it, just follow it." ”
Old Mai glanced at him, and then shut up and said no more until he returned to his room in the guest house.
Rest in the room for a short time, take a shower first, pack your luggage and belongings, and it is estimated that you will not come back in the short term.
After dinner, everyone changed into their usual civilian clothes, took their suitcases, boarded a military transport helicopter under the cover of the moon and stars, and headed off into the sky.
In the early hours of the morning, their helicopter flew to a small island off the southeast coast and landed on the ground.
Since the island is a small island, it is naturally not very large, and in the dark night, only a towering lighthouse flashes a few colors, and the rustling sound of waves crashing on the shore reef can be heard in the distance.
Lao Mai jumped out of the helicopter and looked around, and found that this was originally an airport runway.
There are some low mountains faintly visible in the surrounding area, but there are cave-like gates, and only a propeller monoplane with lights on the airport runway is parked.
The plane looked like a privately modified aircraft, but with two fuel tanks hanging from the bottom, and other than that, there were no other aircraft in sight at the island airport.
It is estimated that this is a transit military airport, and there is no other land area on the island except for the airport runway and some low mountains, Lao Mai thought for a while, and then heard the 104 chief shout in a low voice: "Let's get on that plane, move quickly." ”
There was no one else at the transit airport to pick up the plane, only the six people who got off the helicopter, all of them straight onto the propeller plane that looked like a private jet, and there was no one else on the plane except the pilot.
The plane has a cylindrical cabin that seats ten or eight people, with reclining chairs that can be folded away.
After everyone sat down and fastened their seat belts, they heard Commissioner Dong speak: "It's still a long flight below, everyone hurry up and rest, there are not many opportunities for us to sleep normally along the way, try to maintain a good mental state, anyone who is thirsty and hungry, there are mineral water and compressed biscuits." ”
As he spoke, he dragged the two corrugated boxes at the end of the cabin, pushed them to the center of the cabin, and opened the lid to signal.
So, including the 104 chiefs, everyone took a bottle of mineral water, and some people even took some compressed biscuits, and Lao Mai also honestly and unceremoniously tore open a packet of compressed biscuits, and ate and drank with bottled water.
After eating and drinking, Lao Mai saw that it was not easy to cultivate while sitting like this, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep directly, in this world, there are not many factors that can threaten his personal safety, including plane crashes and being attacked by shells.
Although the fuselage of this modified aircraft vibrated and the engine roared a little loudly, Lao Mai still slept soundly, and he didn't know how many hours later, he was suddenly awakened by the strong light stimulation of his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, it turned out to be the sun's rays in the sky, shining on his eyes through the porthole of the plane, probably because the plane had turned in a different direction, and the afternoon sun shone directly on his face.
Lao Mai couldn't help muttering, "Wow, I've slept for so long, where has this gone?"
Commissioner Dong smiled: "As long as you can sleep, the plane will go down through the clouds, and it will be almost there." ”
Along the way, the 104 chiefs did not say a word except for directly announcing the order, and those who did chores along the way were carried out by Commissioner Dong.
The propeller plane tilted downward, passing through the clouds made of wisps of mist, and a large area of deep blue sea appeared in front of him, and there were small islands dotted on it, and as the plane descended, the shadows of those small islands slowly grew larger.
The plane seemed to be able to discern the specific direction and flew straight down to an island that was not very large.
Lao Mai's eyesight is very good after training, and at a glance, he can see that the islands that are getting closer and closer are all low hills and trees, and then there are crooked paths, except for a large white sandy beach, he can't see where the airport runway is.
He couldn't help but wonder if the plane was going to land on the beach, this was not a helicopter, nor was it a Harrier fighter that could take off and land vertically, and even if the beach was smooth, this modified plane could not be used as a runway like a highway.
Lao Mai was still suspicious in his heart, but he didn't think that the plane really rushed straight down towards the beach by the sea, so he couldn't help but mention it in his heart, and hurriedly looked out of the porthole, only to see that the plane did not rush to the beach, but before it reached the beach, it fell to the sea pushing layers of waves.
When it reached the sea, the head of the plane was lifted up, and the entire fuselage fell flat to the sea, showing no signs of sinking, but floating on the water like a lifeboat falling into the water.
The engines on the wings were heard to go out, and the sound of diesel engines was heard at the bottom of the plane, at which point the floating propeller plane turned around and drove towards the exit of what looked like a cement road on the beach, and drove all the way to the shore.
Only then did Lao Mai understand that this modified aircraft turned out to be an amphibious aircraft.
After the plane sailed straight ashore, it drove along a tree-lined road until it reached a small tarmac, then stopped, opened the hatch and lowered the ladder, and released the members of the mobile team who had been squatting on the plane for more than ten hours.
On the side of the tarmac, there was already a man in a white short-sleeved shirt waiting there, and when he saw the head of 104 walking off the plane first, he stepped forward and shook hands with him.
After Lao Mai stepped off the plane, he looked back at the cockpit of the plane and found that the two pilots who took turns to fly the plane were still in their seats, thinking that flying this trip was really hard, more than ten hours, two people took turns to drive the plane, and flying across the ocean was not so simple.
