Chapter 921: Fireworks in the Rain (Happy New Year chapter, please vote for me)
Dark clouds covered the sky, and the rain gradually fell downwards. Riding the huge mecha, Lieka tightly chased the floating fighter in front.
His hand was firmly holding the control rod of the mecha, constantly controlling this huge machine to shuttle between buildings.
The shadow flowing in the darkness crossed the screen in front of him. It was the floating fighter jet that he had locked.
He reached out and touched the shining external device inserted into the mecha next to him.
The person who gave him this device told him that it could help him bypass the permission locking measures within the mecha and leave the restricted area without obtaining permission, allowing him to control the mecha and leave Nancheng.
He knew that the function of this device must be more than that, and those treacherous guys must have left many behind, but he didn't care anymore.
When he drove the mecha away from the southern city wall, it meant that he had no other choice.
He must kill the 'mayor' before the mecha sent by Covey arrives, and then enter the North City.
The North City is the area under the control of General Scott. With the mayor dead, Covey, who is planning a coup, will not be willing to send people directly into the North City and conflict with General Scott in the North City, causing even greater trouble for himself.
of the enemy.
At that time, Covey would probably negotiate with General Scott, and now he could take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate, use the channels bought by the consortium, and leave directly from the North City.
If Covey solves all the troubles, he will definitely be wanted, but that is no longer important. The consortium has prepared a new identity for him. He will take wealth that he will never spend in this life in the Federation.
A new life begins in a small western city.
This matter is indeed very risky, and Lieka also knows very well that if it fails, he will definitely die.
But interests and risks always coexist. The mayor is seriously injured and on the verge of death. The floating fighter plane does not have any counterattack weapons. As long as he can hit the fighter plane, he can send Mr. Lin to heaven.
.
Even the person flying the aerial fighter plane ahead, the mayor's self-proclaimed crony, was his 'helper'.
If he hadn't gotten the news, he wouldn't have listened to the consortium's advice and taken this opportunity to chase him out.
Although this matter is very risky, as long as it is done well, the advantage and chance of winning are still in his favor.
Bright red cross lines appeared on the screen of the operation cabin, which was the automatic aiming system's prompt to lock on the floating fighter ahead.
Lieka slowly put his finger on the launch button.
It only takes a moment.
At this moment, they were passing between some high-rise buildings, and they had already begun to approach the downtown area of Yilan City. The densely populated high-rise buildings in this city are very unsuitable for air combat. As long as the opponent makes reasonable use of the gaps between the high-rise buildings, they may even be able to escape.
Open him.
The further you go into the downtown area, the mecha's large size will change from an advantage to a relative disadvantage, and the strength gap between him and his opponent will be narrowed by the complex terrain.
So he had to get rid of the other party before they completely entered the downtown area.
The rapidly advancing mecha pulled out a shuttle-shaped airflow cover filled with blown rain and mist in the air. This huge war machine was getting closer and closer to the floating fighter in front.
Closer, closer still.
Pressing his finger on the launch button, Leka felt as if his breathing had paused little by little, and thin beads of sweat seeped out from his forehead.
As one of the best mecha pilots in the entire Elan, he had not felt this tension as if he was close to death for a long time.
He knew that behind him, the mecha team sent by Covey was approaching rapidly.
He doesn't have many opportunities, so he has to try his best to succeed.
Staring at the floating fighter plane that was getting closer and closer to him on the screen and unable to escape despite all his efforts, a ferocious smile gradually formed on the corner of Leka's mouth.
He actually had no objections to Mayor Lin En. As an officer born at a lower level, he even had a good impression of Lin En.
He can truly feel that the mayor has truly seen things from the bottom, and many reform policies are truly intended to change the lives of the bottom.
He could feel that the mayor really wanted to change the city.
But so what, this world is still a world of conglomerates.
The mayor of Elan is a big shot in Elan, but looking at the entire federation, he is actually just a bigger springtail.
Any attempt to change is nothing more than kicking a thorn with one's feet and using one's arms as a chariot.
Mayor Linn in front of him is indeed a good person, but he is also a fool who cannot see the situation clearly.
Lieka took a deep breath, tightened his grip on the operating stick, and looked at the floating fighter plane that was already in the center of the screen, and at the series of auxiliary parameters automatically generated by the system next to the fighter plane.
It's now.
Everything should end now.
He held his breath and pressed the launch button fiercely.
Along with a bright light streaking across the night sky, hazy mist evaporated.
At this moment, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
The Seraph mecha's plasma main cannon could easily shatter the tiny police aerial fighter plane and scorch the mayor who was already on the verge of death.
it's all over.
Lieka turned the operating lever and was about to leave, but the red cross displayed again on the screen made him pause.
The floating fighter plane was still suspended under the pattering night, standing in front of him, moving forward rapidly, and was locked by the targeting system.
Missed?
He immediately called up the side camera of the mecha and looked back at what just happened.
He once again saw the brilliance of the main gun, and also saw the 'action' of the fighter plane that had just floated into the air.
At the moment when the brilliance of the main gun burst out, the floating fighter plane lifted sideways without any warning, and with an extremely extreme operation, it flashed past the bright beam of light.
How can it be?
Lieka only felt countless questions flashing through his mind. As a talented mecha pilot who had also flown a similar floating fighter jet.
He knew very well how difficult it was to control a floating fighter jet flying at high speed to perform such extreme maneuvers in such a short period of time.
He himself would never be able to perform such an extreme operation in this situation, so when he just fired the main gun, he judged that the opponent was dead.
But the reality seems to have gone in a completely different direction than what he expected.
The mecha pilot on the opposite side is not one of our own? Or is he afraid of being killed and rebels a second time? The extraordinary guard captain is still a genius pilot?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he had no more time to think at the moment.
At this point, he had no other choice.
He pulled the joystick and further shortened the distance to the floating fighter.
At this moment, they are very close to the downtown area. If the opponent really enters the downtown area, and coupled with superb driving skills, even if there are no weapons on the aerial fighter plane, he may be killed directly.
At this moment, he felt a little withdrawn in his heart. It seemed that it was not too late to give up and take the opportunity to escape.
However, at this moment, he saw the floating fighter plane in front of him suddenly turn and fly towards the other direction at a huge angle.
Did you leave the downtown area? Afraid of harming civilians?
You can't be afraid that you won't pursue it anymore, so give some hope, right?
And what else can they do when they reach an open area, counterattack? With such a small floating fighter plane, it has no weapons loaded, what kind of counterattack can it do? Stab it with a dagger?
He really is an indecisive guy as the staff discussed.
It's a pity that such a talented pilot follows such a leader.
Leka suddenly pulled the joystick, led the mecha through the rain curtain, and followed.
In this case, I will satisfy your kindness.
The fully charged main gun fired again, and the bright light once again passed through the rain curtain, carrying the water vapor that evaporated instantly, and struck the floating fighter in the sky.
The floating fighter plane flying in the air once again raised up with a tricky move, dodging the incoming main cannon, and even took advantage of the gap in firing to slightly widen the distance between it and Leka.
Lieka gritted his teeth, and the propeller on the back of the mecha ejected a fierce ray of light, leading the huge machine forward quickly, passing through the rain curtain, and chasing away along the line of the floating fighter.
This time, Lieka did not fire easily, but relied on the power advantage of the mecha to continuously close the distance with the floating fighter.
Two machines flew across the city at night, making roaring noises and splashing water mist.
People under the rain curtain raised their heads and looked at the chase in the sky.
The howling wind sounded like a bell that dispersed the night sky, causing water to accumulate on the road and shaking the decaying iron eaves.
Didi didi——
Along with the sharp siren, several small dots appeared on the radar of the mecha's cockpit, which were mechas approaching rapidly from behind.
"Leka, can you hear me? Surrender immediately..."
At the same time, a little noisy sound came from the communicator on the side, which was a voice message sent by teammates on the same channel.
Lieka stretched out his hand, turned off the communicator, raised his head, looked at the mecha in front, and further increased the output power of the engine.
With the 'overheating warnings' popping up on the display one after another, he finally clearly saw the tail of the floating fighter jet that was constantly enlarging in his field of vision.
The auxiliary aiming information box showed that the distance between him and the floating fighter was less than a hundred meters. For the mecha, this distance was already very close.
He quickly moved the joysticks on his left hand, and the cannon barrels protruded from the body of the mecha. The flaming shells rushed out of the muzzle, and in the moist rain curtain, a flying fire started.
The overwhelming rain of fire under the sky rushed towards the floating fighter plane ahead.
At that moment when the surging rain of fire was about to cover up the entire fighter plane, the fighter plane that was still flying smoothly suddenly stretched upwards, almost at a vertical upward angle, and rushed towards the source of the shower, towards the black jet.
The oppressive sky.
The dense rain of fire shells passed under the floating fighter plane, like a swarm of flaming bees following the queen bee, crawling at the king's feet.
At this time, the Seraph mecha standing under the sky had already raised its main gun.
Lieka knew very well that these shells could not do anything to a talented pilot with extremely high driving skills. His purpose of launching these shells was to force the aeroplane in front to stretch upward.
Now, the opponent has entered his shooting range.
At such a close distance and in this situation, there is no room for maneuver for the opponent.
Lieka's hand was once again on the launch button.
It's really over.
The mechas from behind were approaching quickly on the radar, but it was obvious that those guys couldn't make it in time.
He raised his head and stared at the floating fighter plane in the sky. The bright light had already gathered in the main gun port of the mecha.
At this moment, Lieka suddenly discovered that the hatch of the floating fighter ahead was still open, and a figure was standing on the edge of the hatch.
It was an old man wearing a gray suit with mixed black and white hair. A brass cane covered with exquisite patterns was inserted into the floor of the floating fighter to stabilize his figure.
It is obvious that the floor of the floating fighter plane is almost vertical to the ground, and the old man's body is almost horizontal to the ground, but he still 'stands' firmly on the floor, as if he is standing on the ground.
And when Lieka raised his head upward, the old man's eyes were also looking downward, staring at the mecha below.
At this time, Lieka noticed that the old man was holding a dagger with a faint cold light in his other hand.
The diffuse raindrops hit the cold dagger and gathered downward along the silver blade.
Endless fear gathered in Leka's heart. He wanted to reach out and press the launch button immediately to destroy everything in the sky, but it was already too late.
boom--
Roaring thunder exploded in the sky, and bright lightning illuminated the dark night amid the rain in an instant.
The cold silver light burst out from the old man's hand, like thunder falling from the sky, and instantly penetrated the chest of the huge Seraph mecha, the heart of the tall officer driving the mecha, and also penetrated the height of the huge mecha.
Performance battery.
boom--
The roaring explosion sounded in the sky again, and the behemoth dozens of meters high suddenly exploded in the sky, blooming into raging flames burning in the rain.
The light illuminated the dirty streets, the large and small puddles on the streets, and also illuminated the pairs of eyes beside the puddles looking toward the sky.
The violent roaring suddenly stopped not far away, and the eight Seraph mechas stopped in front of the blazing flames, looking at the floating fighter plane still suspended in the air.
"What was that just now?"
"Is it divine punishment?"
"Is it lightning?"
"Or some extraordinary ability?"
"Is our mayor... so strong?"
"Is he really seriously injured and on the verge of death as mentioned above? Why do I feel like he can beat us eight more times?"
"This maneuver is too terrifying. Who is controlling the aerial fighter plane? The mayor's guard captain? Isn't he a strength-type extraordinary person? Is he really a genius?"
Fierce flames burned in the sky, and noisy voices continued to rise and fall on the internal communication channel.
"Stop talking, I'm connecting to the communication line of the floating fighter now to see if Mr. Linn is injured."
Finally, with a soft drink, the entire channel fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, a soft sound of the line being connected sounded in the night.
"Mr. Linn, we were sent by General Covey..."
The source of that soft drink seemed to be the leader of the team, who slowly spoke.
However, before he finished speaking, a hoarse and old voice came from the communication channel, "From left to right, the first one is 27 degrees north by east and the elevation angle is 30 degrees, and the second one is 25 degrees and 18 minutes north by east.
, elevation angle 45 degrees, third..."
Hearing this voice, everyone on the line was slightly startled.
Immediately afterwards, a shout rang out in the internal circuit, "Data received from the floating fighter plane, there are... high-energy guided missiles approaching quickly."
At the same time, alarms sounded.
"High-energy guided missiles? Why are there high-energy guided missiles here? Launching high-energy missiles in the city? Are these guys crazy? Can they detect the source and launch site?"
"These missiles are camouflaged with stealth. The source and launch site cannot be determined. These missiles are approaching quickly. Time is running out. We must quickly carry out air defense interception."
"Can the automatic air defense system intercept these missiles? I don't know. The opponent's stealth camouflage interferes with the radar too much. The probability of interception is less than 50%. We have to make a decision immediately."
Along with the responses, the voice that seemed to be that of the captain quickly responded, "Activate the automatic air defense system, and then immediately adjust the muzzle according to Mr. Linn's instructions to prepare for missile interception."
"yes."
The communication channel was silent for a brief moment before Li responded quickly.
Hearing the sounds coming from the communicator, He Ao raised his head and looked above his head.
Deep in the dark clouds, there seemed to be several fire spots spreading.
The radar on the control panel of the floating fighter plane constantly displayed the approaching red dot.
The radar hardware of aerial fighters is actually far inferior to that of mechas. It is impossible to detect these stealth-camouflaged missiles by relying on the original radar system alone.
But when Eve read the radar data, she recognized anomalies in the data and discovered that the mecha that had just been tracking them had been sending out radio waves.
So Eve improved the algorithm after getting permission from He Ao. When He Ao eliminated the mecha, she used a more subtle and advanced algorithm to identify the incoming missiles and calculated the appropriate air defense position.
If it were any later, it might be too late for them to discover these missiles.
These powerful missiles are enough to destroy everything nearby.
From the beginning, the guy who arranged all this didn't want anyone to go back alive.
Happy New Year! I’m almost 5,000 words long, so I’m asking for a vote at the beginning of the year.
