357: Chapter 357 Escaping the Pursuit

“Holy crap! What is that thing?”

The Pretty Country pilot glanced at the scene ahead, and his face immediately turned green.

The aircraft ahead was indeed proceeding normally, but... a probe suddenly extended from the front of it.

This is...

Before he could take a closer look, he quickly noticed a shocking sight!

As soon as the probe appeared, without any pause, it immediately began spewing out a burst of white mist!

It's... hot steam!

The Pretty Country pilot was stunned.

Good heavens!

What kind of aircraft has this thing installed on it?

However, by the time he reacted, it was already too late!

He saw the steam gushing out continuously, and in the high altitude of ten thousand meters, it instantly condensed into spikes of ice!

And the initial burst of steam, due to its impact force and constant rising, had just perfectly covered the sky in front of him.

If it were just ice spikes, perhaps there wouldn't be much threat, but this was at an altitude of ten thousand meters, and the fighter jet was moving at an extremely high speed!

It was equivalent to having many obstacles appear ahead, and the Pretty Country fighter jet was like a high-speed aircraft constantly weaving through these obstacles!

It wasn't that the target was stationary and posed no threat; rather, at his high speed, colliding with any single object would not end well!

But the area covered by those ice spikes was simply too vast!

Crap!

The Pretty Country pilot's expression changed drastically.

He immediately began manipulating his control stick, wanting to use his superb skills to weave away from that dangerous area.

Bang bang bang...

Some objects struck the steel plating outside the fighter jet.

Crackling sounds came from inside the fighter jet.

But fortunately, the Pretty Country pilot's personal skill was up to par, and relying on his exceptional technique, he successfully avoided the area of ice spikes.

He was also quite lucky; at that moment, the steam had not yet had time to spread. Otherwise, that single attack might have been enough to leave him there.

“Isn’t this guy afraid of the aircraft suddenly malfunctioning?”

From behind, the Pretty Country pilot looked displeased.

In this short time, a considerable distance had already opened up between them.

However, for fighter jets of their caliber, catching up to the target would only take a few breaths.

“Hmph! Trying to run? No way!”

The Pretty Country pilot snorted coldly and sped rapidly toward the aircraft ahead.

But compared to the pilot before him, this one was more cautious and prudent.

Because he didn't know if Lin Heng ahead had any other tricks up his sleeve...

After all, the fact that Lin Heng had unexpectedly destroyed one of their fighter jets earlier was a sight witnessed by all.

He had to be careful!

“Hello? B3234, what’s the situation on your end?”

“I’ve temporarily lost your position...”

Just then, a call came in from the Pretty Country Navy Headquarters.

What the Pretty Country pilot didn't know was that the signal from his aircraft to the Pretty Country Navy Commander’s headquarters was intermittent, and for a long time, they had lost his signal entirely.

This immediately drew the attention of the Pretty Country East Sea Fleet. They tried various methods to contact the pilot.

They had just managed to establish communication a moment ago.

“Hm?”

“It was... cut off?”

The Pretty Country pilot was momentarily stunned.

He had previously assumed it was just because headquarters hadn't issued any orders, but he never expected that their connection had actually been severed!

It was only now, with the aircraft ahead having pulled away from them, that he had the leisure to notice these things.

“What happened?”

“And another fighter pilot can’t be contacted—what’s your situation?”

The Navy Headquarters quickly inquired.

As the pilot was about to answer, he suddenly realized something!

Wait a minute!

“You guys couldn't contact us from the very beginning?”

He exclaimed suddenly.

At that very moment, the others quickly grasped the seriousness of the situation.

It wasn't because of the smoke cloud that had just erupted; it was because they had already been trapped when they were pursuing the aircraft ahead!

Damn it!

They didn't know what unknown substance was in that red smoke that caused them to instantly lose contact with headquarters, and they themselves hadn't even realized it...

“The situation is very bad. Kubo... he’s dead...”

“What!?”

As soon as these words were spoken, Navy Headquarters was instantly shocked.

How could that be!?

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.

“Good heavens!”

“A civilian airliner actually managed to destroy a Fifth-Generation fighter jet??”

Who would believe that if they heard it??

But this was indeed the fact.

Even if it wasn't something they were willing to believe...

“You remain calm for now. Wait until our reinforcements arrive!”

“Also, if you have a chance, you must make sure that aircraft stays there forever!”

The Navy Commander quickly snorted coldly and spoke with a chilling tone.

He also issued orders to the air wing on the aircraft carrier; almost everyone was mobilized at that point.

“Yes...”

Ahead, the pilot looked at the black dot in front of him, gritted his teeth, and quickly agreed.

...And at this time.

Lin Heng, looking through the rear cameras, saw that the fighter jet was actually taking the initiative to increase the distance between them, so he stopped his actions.

Heh, at least these people knew when to back off.

Lin Heng said lightly.

Thump, thump, thump...

Soon, a movement appeared above Lin Heng's head.

Before long, a group of familiar faces appeared.

It was Long Anyou and Su Xueer and the others.

“Hm? What are you guys doing...?”

Lin Heng glanced at them and asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Su Xueer and Long Anyou exchanged awkward glances, then pursed their lips and spoke somewhat awkwardly:

“We just came down to take a look.”

As they spoke, their eyes began to scan the surroundings.

It was true; the interior below was set up like a control room, but it was even more exaggerated than a control room.

The instruments inside, both in terms of precision and variety, were incomparable to the instruments when the cabin was empty.

Thinking of this, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Good heavens...

It really is Lin Heng.

If it were anyone else, they might not have believed they could create something exactly like this.

Regaining their composure, it took them a long while before they finally spoke slowly.

“Just now... those two aircraft were...?”
