124: What did the Western Union satellites capture? A ghost plane!
When the subversive and death-laden 'Mach 20' final judgment echoed clearly in the Western Alliance White House's underground command center, Burns and all the arrogant Western Alliance bigwigs present were struck as if by a black lightning bolt powerful enough to split the entire Solar System!
It struck hard on their crowns!
They were completely petrified!
Mach 20?!
What kind of divine concept is this?!
One must know that their Western Alliance's most advanced 'Blackbird' high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft had a top speed of only Mach 3!
And that mysterious flying object from the Xia Kingdom, which appeared out of nowhere!
It was seven times faster?!
This was no longer a joke!
This was clearly a hellish joke that could make the entire Western Alliance Air Force collectively unemployed!
joke!
"No, impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
A Five-Star General in charge of air force equipment suddenly sprang from his chair like a madman!
He pointed at the blood-red speed curve on the screen, which had completely broken through the sky!
He roared hysterically:
"There is absolutely no way a flying object with such terrifying speed could exist in this world!"
"It violates all laws of aerodynamics!"
"It's simply not a product of our era!"
"Exactly! It must be the Xia Kingdom playing tricks!"
Another technical officer responsible for intelligence analysis also echoed with a look of horror:
"They must have used some kind of hacking technology that we can't understand!"
"They interfered with our satellite signals!"
"They created this false data!"
"The purpose is to intimidate us!"
"Yes! It must be!"
For a moment!
All the Western Alliance bigwigs in the command center were like a group of wretched people about to drown, grasping at a final straw!
Madly using this self-deceiving and ridiculous reason!
To numb their fragile
nerves, which had long been completely swallowed by fear!
However,
Just then...
"Gentlemen..."
A cold, emotionless voice suddenly rang out.
It was the young technician who had been monitoring the 'Eye of God' system.
He slowly stood up from his workstation.
His face, pale as paper from extreme fear, was filled with an unprecedented, ghost-like
horror!
And despair!
"I regret to inform you all..."
"That is not false data."
"Because..."
He took a deep breath and said, word by word, in a voice almost like a dream:
"We..."
"Photographed it."
Boom!!!
These words were like an antimatter bomb capable of destroying the entire Western Alliance's hegemony!
They heavily struck deep into the souls of all the Western Alliance bigwigs present!
They were completely petrified!
They stared blankly at the young technician, who looked utterly despairing, their minds completely blank!
Photographed...
Photographed it?!
"Quick! Play it!"
Burns roared like a madman!
"Yes, Sir."
The young technician trembled as he stretched out a finger and lightly tapped the control panel in front of him.
The next second!
The huge holographic screen in the command center suddenly flickered!
The monitoring screen, filled with data and curves, instantly vanished.
In its place...
Was a terrifying
scene that made their souls tremble!
It was the deep, dark, and silent
expanse of space outside Earth's atmosphere!
And in that endless darkness!
A sleek, domineering, and streamlined shuttle-shaped
Ghost Plane, crafted entirely from an unknown dark golden alloy!
Just like a golden lightning bolt!
With a terrifying posture that no human could comprehend!
Silently cut through the dead silence of the darkness!
It had no wings!
No tail fins!
Not even a trace of exhaust or sonic boom caused by high-speed flight!
It was like a ghost from a four-dimensional space!
A terrifying
existence that completely defied all physical laws!
Silently descended upon this tiny, fragile
three-dimensional world!
"Th-th-this..."
The Five-Star General, who had been madly shouting "This is unscientific" earlier, pointed at the 'miraculous' scene on the screen, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence!
His cloudy old eyes were filled with subversive horror!
And the collapse of faith,
leaving a blank!
He had worked with planes his whole life!
In the end, he couldn't even understand how planes flew anymore!
This was simply the greatest
humiliation for him, an Air Force Marshal!
Meanwhile, Burns slumped onto his chair like a dead dog drained of all strength!
His usually hawk-like sharp face was ashen!
He knew.
He was finished.
Their military hegemony, which had ruled the world for centuries!
Today!
In front of this incomprehensible Eastern Ghost, like a deity!
It was completely crushed to dust!
"Report, Sir!"
Just then, the young technician's terrified scream rang out again!
"It... it seems to have found us!"
"What?!"
Burns suddenly looked up!
On the screen!
The golden ghost, which was originally flying at high speed!
Suddenly made a strange, almost instantaneous
stop in space without any warning!
Then...
Its streamlined, beautiful shuttle-shaped nose!
Slowly, slowly turned its direction!
The pitch-black cockpit glass, made of unknown material and seemingly capable of swallowing all light!
Stared directly at their
spy satellite, hidden hundreds of thousands of meters high, thinking it was unnoticed!
In an instant!
A cold, death-filled, terrifying chill!
Instantly enveloped the entire command center!
All the Western Alliance bigwigs felt as if they were being stared at by a terrifying ancient beast!
Even their breathing stopped!
"W-what does it want to do?!"
Burns' hoarse voice was trembling!
However...
Before he could finish his sentence...
"Buzz—"
A faint, deathly hum, as if from the netherworld!
The smooth alloy armor beneath the nose of the golden ghost fighter suddenly split open silently!
Revealing a dark, mysterious muzzle filled with destructive aura!
Then!
A red death ray, a million times brighter than the sun!
A million times faster than lightning!
Instantly shot out from that dark muzzle!
With a terrifying
speed that surpassed the speed of light, incomprehensible to any human!
It fiercely struck their so-called ace spy satellite, worth hundreds of millions of dollars!
"No—!!!"
A desolate, inhuman roar of despair!
Echoed throughout the entire command center!
And on the screen...
The monitoring image, filled with miracles and terror...
At this very moment!
With a "sizzle"!
Completely plunged into eternal darkness!
