At six o'clock in the evening on December 27, 2030, the landing formation was divided into two. Nine landing craft carrying the 1st Division and 2nd Battalion broke away from the formation and flew directly to Australia as originally planned.
The remaining twenty-two landing craft adjusted their direction to follow the Earth's retrograde orbit.
Due to the adjustment of the combat plan, Qiongzhou's launch plan had to be temporarily adjusted. Later that day, the landing craft belonging to the Second Battalion docked with the spacecraft from Qiongzhou, and the soldiers obtained the precious flight package.
At about 8 o'clock that night, the Second Battalion entered the atmosphere from the sky over the Vanuatu Islands, flying down like a meteor falling into the atmosphere. The landing craft bumped violently like a small boat between the peaks and troughs of the waves, and the violently shaking hull might disintegrate at any time.
The soldiers' hearts were in their throats. Everyone fixed themselves firmly on their seats and gritted their teeth uneasily.
A few minutes later, the landing craft gradually stabilized and turned to level flight at an altitude of 20,000 meters, flying directly to Bei'ao along the 14th parallel of south latitude.
When it was normal, Ouyang Ping went to the window and looked down. He was shocked to find that there was a large snow-white cloud below the formation!
Clouds blocked all sight. Although satellite positioning showed that the formation had flown over eastern Australia, no land could be seen in any direction, and there were only clouds everywhere.
Ouyang Ping suddenly discovered that there was a depression like a sea bowl in the clouds, and all the clouds were slowly rotating around the depression.
He almost bit his tongue. Isn't this the legendary eye of the storm? This thing is the symbol of a tropical cyclone. To put it more technically, it is called a tropical cyclone, but to put it more bluntly, it is a typhoon!
Even if there is a typhoon, why is there no movement at all? Shouldn't there be a notification?
Ouyang Ping was heartbroken and immediately contacted Ye Han: "Boss, we have arrived at the east coast of Australia, but there is a typhoon down there!"
"I saw it." Ye Han said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem. The typhoon is heading north. At most, there will be light rain in Marida, which will not affect the airborne landing."
Ouyang Ping breathed a sigh of relief and touched his nose awkwardly.
Ye Han added: "It doesn't matter if you go to Bei'ao. This thing can travel up to forty or fifty kilometers an hour. I won't be able to catch up with you even if I'm exhausted."
Ouyang Ping became even more embarrassed: "I understand, I'll rush there as soon as possible."
Ye Han chuckled: "Okay, hang up." He still had something to say. The Luzhou aircraft carrier battle group had just entered the typhoon range not long ago and was heading towards northern Australia under the cover of the typhoon.
If there is no typhoon cover, it will be troublesome if an alien fleet attacks the aircraft carrier.
After the communication ended, Ouyang Ping rubbed his face vigorously and never looked at Typhoon again.
Half an hour later, the formation was about to arrive at Marida, but at this time Marida was already covered by clouds on the edge of the cyclone. The formation still could not see the land and could only determine its position through satellites.
At 8:38 p.m., the formation began to lower its altitude. Two minutes later, the formation fell into the clouds and was enveloped in white clouds. The pilot could only fly according to the data on the instrument.
At 8:44, the formation penetrated the clouds, and the pilot finally saw Marida on the side of the sea bend: "Report to the battalion commander, Marida has been found, please prepare for airborne landing!"
"Got it!" Ouyang Ping put on his helmet and stood up with his rifle in hand: "Get ready to go!"
After giving the order, the officers and soldiers on the boat all stood up and helped each other carry their flight bags.
Just half a minute later, the formation flew to the scheduled airdrop location. The red light in the cabin instantly turned green, the tail hatch slowly opened, the wind howled, and the churning air flow poured into the cabin.
Ouyang Ping jumped up and jumped out of the tail hatch. After free fall for a few seconds, he activated his flight bag. The folded wings unfolded and his descent speed immediately slowed down. He then turned on the engine and flew towards Marida like a big bird.
Behind him, to his left and right, the soldiers spread their wings and quickly formed a flying formation, just like a large group of migrating birds in the sky.
Malida has long been shrouded in clouds, but night vision devices turn the night into day. Warehouse areas, residential areas, industrial areas and docks, everything is seen by the soldiers.
Malida was quiet and peaceful in the dark night. The street lights illuminated the deserted streets. Ouyang Ping didn't see a single giant insect, but he saw many human bones scattered on the roadside corners.
If it weren't for these human bones, no one would have believed that Malida had fallen into the hands of aliens.
At this time, the landing craft was about to fly to the industrial area. The roar of the engine shook the earth. A swarm of giant insects suddenly appeared on the street that was empty just now.
These giant insects have long legs and strong bodies, with their huge heads raised high, and their huge insect jaws like chainsaws pointing towards the sky.
Ouyang Ping had never seen such giant insects before, and he didn't bother to care about what kind of mutations they came from. There was only one thing he had to do, and that was to destroy them, destroy them, destroy them!
The landing formation flew to the industrial area in an instant and dropped the airborne capsule hanging under the wing.
The shuttle-shaped airdrop pod fell freely like an aerial bomb. It suddenly opened its parachute when it was about to land, and then plunged to the ground.
Ouyang Ping's pupils shrank: "The first company has the No. 1 air raid shelter, the second company has the No. 2 air raid shelter, and the third company collects ammunition, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Ouyang Ping dived suddenly, expecting the sound of tearing wind to be heard immediately: "Follow me!" The power armor had no streamlined shape, and the huge wind noise was like an evil ghost wailing in the depths of hell.
The soldiers immediately followed, and a group of people rushed to the open space outside the air raid shelter.
While the person was still in the air, Ouyang Ping took off his armored rifle with his backhand. The giant insect near the air raid shelter said, "Hit me!"
Gunshots exploded, bullets rained down, bullets falling from the sky shattered the insect shells, yellow-green insect blood splashed, and more than a dozen giant insects collapsed.
A small open space appeared in the air-raid shelter. The soldiers moved their guns outward and quickly expanded the airborne field.
The giant insects nearby heard the gunfire and rushed towards the air raid shelter like crazy.
Ouyang Ping saw the movements of the insect swarm in the air, and with a sudden thought, he took off a grenade and threw it away from the air raid shelter with all his strength.
The soldiers didn't understand what it meant, but still followed the established steps to eliminate the giant insect.
A few seconds later, a grenade exploded in the air nearly 200 meters away. The swarm of insects rushing towards the air-raid shelter suddenly fell into chaos. They didn't know which way to run, but the continuous gunfire quickly pointed out to the swarm of insects.
Got the direction.
The soldiers suddenly realized and took off their grenades and threw them out.
Ouyang Ping took the opportunity to shout: "Stop shooting..."
The gunfire stopped, and the continuous explosions confused the hearing of the giant insects. The insect swarm was once again confused, but they quickly determined their direction and rushed towards the air raid shelter again.
Ouyang Ping took the opportunity to land. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the wings behind him immediately flipped and folded, turning into an inconspicuous backpack again.
The soldiers from the first company fell down beside Ouyang Ping, and he immediately ordered: "First row, stay where you are, second row, enter the air raid shelter, and third row, reserve team!"
"yes!"
Haha, it’s quite unexpected. Today I was promoted to level 4... However, there seems to be no difference between level 3 and level 4. Level 5 is the watershed... To be honest, do I have the chance to advance to level 5 in this life?
