231: Chapter 238 Missile Wind Blades are now installed, please...

Su Yang switched to the pilot's perspective.

The roar of the massive engines and the whistling sound of the fuselage piercing through the air flooded his ears.

As the black bird climbed rapidly, objects on the ground shrank quickly, and his field of vision expanded at high speed.

Piercing through the clouds and entering the troposphere, the flight altitude reached 5,000 meters.

The moon, looking even larger and emitting a silvery light than it did from the ground, hung in the sky, accompanied by countless twinkling stars.

At this altitude, the ground became blurred and pitch black, leaving only the boundless sky, which spread out like a pool of ink.

At the limit of his vision, he could see the slightly curved surface of the planet.

Lacking reference points, it was difficult for the eyes to perceive how fast this speed, a Breakthrough of the sound barrier, really was.

If he were to block out the whistling in his ears, Su Yang would even feel as if this were a lonely sailboat drifting in the night, enveloped by the silent, boundless sky.

"Report to Command Center, xuan niao no. 1 has approached the designated airspace and is beginning to search for targets."

[Radar Detection synchronized, detection information synchronized...]

[Maintain vigilance, search authorized.]

After the aircraft took off, the intelligent brain took over from Su Yang to direct the combat operations of the black bird.

After both sides confirmed the orders, Su Yang saw his field of vision gradually lowering; the battle was about to begin!

The black bird gradually decelerated and reduced its flight altitude; after piercing through the clouds, the earth appeared in his field of vision once again.

As they flew, Su Yang saw a massive area of black fog not far ahead.

If one were not viewing it from the air, one would have no idea how vast the area covered by this fog was.

It started from the southern part of the Heart of the Hive and spread all the way into the Wild Forest, and judging by the momentum, it intended to swallow the entire Wild Forest.

Obstructed by the fog, the ground terrain could not be seen with the naked eye; only the occasional high mountain protruding from the fog provided a reference.

"Radar Detection activated, scanning radar activated, requesting terrain synchronization."

[Terrain synchronization in progress...]

The pilot of the black bird activated the onboard radar; the maximum detection range of this radar could reach 50 kilometers.

It could not only Scout for biological activity but also scan the terrain.

After the black bird performed the terrain scan and compared it with the detection data from the Scout earlier today, it would be able to lock onto the combat zone from earlier in the day.

After entering the airspace of the Wild Forest, the radar range was immediately flooded with dense white dots.

This level of concentration was much higher than at the Heart of the Hive! Su Yang felt a bit surprised.

It seemed the Tyranids had truly been stifled at the Heart of the Hive.

Now that they had arrived at the Wild Forest without the discipline of Great Qin, even their reproductive capacity had increased!

"Target area locked, currently identifying attack targets: Mother Bug, Tyranid Warrior."

[Tyranid Warrior and Mother Bug Radar Detection signatures have been synchronized...]

The black bird had already locked onto the area where they encountered that wave of the Insect Swarm during the day and was now conducting a reconnaissance scan within the fog.

In this operation, the Mother Bug and the Tyranid Warrior, which performed the functions of a Mother Bug, were the primary targets; only these two types of Tyranid units would drop a Heart of the Hive.

Based on the detection signals of the Mother Bug and Tyranid Warrior synchronized by the intelligent brain, the black bird could lock onto them within the dense Insect Swarm.

"xuan niao no. 1 has detected 10 suspected Tyranid Warrior units, requesting fire support."

"Xuan Niao No. 2 has detected 11 suspected Tyranid Warrior units, requesting fire support."

Soon, the detection information from the black bird was presented, and the detection panel showed over a dozen signal points marked in red.

These signal points were scattered everywhere, with some small-scale clusters.

Because of the fog obstruction and the lack of detailed reconnaissance from ground units.

The high-altitude radar could only determine targets roughly based on the body size of the Xenomorphs.

The body size of a Tyranid Warrior was similar to that of a Burrowing Giant Insect, and more detailed differences could not be judged by high-altitude radar.

Su Yang used his own experience to rule out two clustered signal points and had the black bird probe the remaining few.

"Form a high-low formation and conduct low-altitude probing," Su Yang ordered.

Conducting low-altitude reconnaissance would allow them to confirm the final strike targets.

The warheads of both types of missiles on the black bird were made of titanium, a resource currently extremely scarce in the territory, so they had to save them wherever possible.

"Understood! xuan niao no. 1 is executing low-altitude reconnaissance."

"Understood, Xuan Niao No. 2 is providing high-altitude cover."

Upon receiving the orders, the two aircraft circled in the air and took their positions.

xuan niao no. 1 continued to lower its flight altitude and dived toward the fog.

Xuan Niao No. 2 also lowered its altitude simultaneously but always maintained a higher position than xuan niao no. 1.

A high-low formation was a common array in aerial combat, with the two fighter jets creating a difference in altitude.

The fighter jet at the higher position could utilize better vision and Radar Detection range to conduct target searches and command.

Once hostile targets were detected, the two aircraft could strike the targets in succession to create a surprise effect.

Of course, the use of the high-low formation here was mainly because the situation in the fog was unclear, requiring the higher-altitude aircraft to provide cover.

Whoosh—

The whistling sound caused by breaking through the air became increasingly intense as xuan niao no. 1 accelerated its dive, piercing into the fog.

After flying briefly through the fog for a few seconds, the earth suddenly appeared before them.

Through the thin moonlight, they could see that the forest, filled with twisted, withered trees, was gathered with dense crowds of Stinger Bugs.

Boom—

The black bird swept over the ground at high speed like a phantom.

The massive airflow generated by the flight kicked up a raging dust storm on the ground, and all the surrounding withered branches were snapped off.

High-speed flight made everything streak by like flowing light, impossible to capture with the naked eye.

Only the radar could quickly capture that information to further confirm the targets.

Close-range scanning could directly scan the outlines of the targets, which allowed Su Yang to quickly identify the targets.

Swoosh—

With the targets confirmed, xuan niao no. 1 climbed rapidly, piercing into the fog once again and flying toward the sky.

On the ground, the dense Insect Swarm all woke up.

They looked up at the sky, watching the disturbed fog, and emitted terrifying screeches.

Hiss—ah—

The Tyranid Warrior leading the Insect Swarm also woke up; it raised its bone blade high and let out a war cry toward the sky.

The massive, tide-like Insect Swarm stirred; they hissed at the sky, scattering and then quickly gathering again.

They wanted to respond to the attack order of the Tyranid Warrior and launch an assault on the enemy, but they did not know how to proceed.

This time, the enemy seemed to be in the sky, and they had no idea how to launch a charge!

"xuan niao no. 1 has locked onto the targets, Wind Blade missiles loaded, requesting permission to fire!"

After xuan niao no. 1 shot out of the fog, it performed a maneuver to change direction, aiming its fuselage at the Tyranid Warrior on the ground.

The maximum range of the Wind Blade could reach 30 kilometers, and it possessed radar-guided capabilities.

A missile descending from the sky at 30 kilometers—this was no ordinary shell, but a declaration of death.

Su Yang's eyes flashed; it was time to let the Insect Swarm savor the fear coming from Great Qin!

"Fire!"
