178: Chapter 178 Soaring Through the Sky

Wang Ye felt a bit desperate.

With the game being thrown like this, even if he tried his hardest to carry, he couldn't turn the tide.

After all, this is a team game.

He could take on five, or even ten, but he couldn't take on a thousand.

Even if the opponents just stood there and let him kill them, he wouldn't be able to finish off those 25,000 points.

"Brother Wang, are we still going to keep fighting this round?"

Liu Yang looked at Wang Ye and asked in a weak voice.

After all, with the game starting off like this, there didn't seem to be much hope of winning.

"Keep going. There are still 20,000 points left, right? The gap isn't that big." Wang Ye took a deep breath.

Even though he had lost confidence in this match, he couldn't say anything discouraging.

No matter what, he had to give his all in every game.

Unless his teammates were really just trolling.

But it was clear that wasn't the case right now.

They were probably just not used to this mode since it was their first time playing it.

After composing himself, Wang Ye waved his hand, signaling Liu Yang to follow.

They headed up the hillside.

Soon, Wang Ye found the entrance to these tunnels.

As soon as they rushed out, two players wearing Japanese military uniforms ran out from inside.

Those two players were clearly stunned for a moment.

It seemed they hadn't expected any attacking players to sneak all the way here.

Just as they were about to counterattack, two gunshots rang out, and they immediately fell to the ground.

Wang Ye and Liu Yang reacted faster than them, firing first.

After taking care of those two, Wang Ye immediately ran toward the intersection.

The defending players inside the tunnel heard the gunfire outside and immediately became alert.

A squad of ten players rushed to the intersection and ran head-on into Wang Ye and Liu Yang.

A battle between the two sides was imminent.

Under their combined assault, Wang Ye and Liu Yang only managed to take down two or three people before going down themselves.

Before dying, the two watched as the few people they had knocked down were revived.

As their vision went black, Wang Ye's screen returned to the class selection panel.

Just then, he noticed that the Pilot class was highlighted.

He quickly clicked on it.

Just as he thought he wouldn't be able to grab it, the confirm button lit up.

"Got it!"

Wang Ye was pleasantly surprised.

He was truly tired of being infantry.

He had been fighting on the mountain for a long time just now.

He hadn't seen a single teammate's plane.

He really wanted to see what kind of planes these people were playing.

Why hadn't a single one flown over?

If there had been planes suppressing the machine guns and Anti-aircraft guns in those bunkers earlier, the casualties wouldn't have been so heavy.

After selecting the Pilot class, the currently available planes appeared in front of him.

There were only two types, and there weren't many of either.

One was the Hellcat, and the other was the Corsair.

Wang Ye took one look and immediately chose the Hellcat.

No reason, the name just sounded cool and imposing.

In the livestream room, the audience immediately perked up when they saw Wang Ye grab the Pilot role.

"Whoa, streamer, you got the Pilot class? I just saw a streamer in another livestream room flying a plane, and they kept crashing in all sorts of ways."

"Oh, Brother Wang, you're going to fly a plane too? Remember the last time you had to make an emergency landing?"

"Believe in Brother Wang, alright? At least Brother Wang can get it in the air; he just might not know how to land. But who needs to land in this game? Just fly the plane straight into the enemy and go down together."

"The planes in this mode actually require some skill. If you don't practice, it's hard to even get them off the ground."

"Indeed, Brother Wang, there's a reason you guys didn't have any planes."

Wang Ye saw the comments in the livestream room at this moment. Seeing that the audience didn't believe in his skills, he immediately spoke up, feeling unconvinced:

"Hey, don't look down on me! I might not be able to say much else, but I can definitely fly this plane all the way to Iwo Jima."

Hearing this, the audience immediately started teasing him.

"I believe you, the ground is on the island too."

"Indeed, crashing into Iwo Jima is still better than the other ninety-nine players; they can't even make it to the island."

"We believe in you, Brother Wang. You have to carry them this round, otherwise, there's absolutely no hope of winning."

Seeing this, Wang Ye stopped talking.

Instead, he clicked deploy.

As his vision went black, he opened his eyes to find himself inside a plane.

He looked left and right and discovered that this plane only had one seat.

It was a single-Pilot aircraft.

At this moment, a simple flight tutorial popped up in front of him.

He temporarily ignored the tutorial and looked outside the cockpit glass.

He discovered that he was currently on a deck, with two other identical planes beside him.

At this moment, the deck crew was signaling him to take off.

Seeing this, Wang Ye turned his head to look at the simple tutorial and then mimicked the controls.

Under his control, the plane slowly moved forward.

Soon, he realized the plane had lifted off.

The simple tutorial indicated that he should pull the joystick back to lift the plane.

Following these simple instructions, the plane quickly climbed.

He operated it slowly, making a turn in the air.

Then he looked down at the ship; the massive vessel came into his view.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye felt very impressed.

Just then, he saw another plane take off from the ship's deck below.

However, as soon as that plane took off, before it could even climb, it plunged straight into the sea.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ye widened his eyes, his expression full of disbelief.

"No way, guys."

"Is this how you fly planes?"

"Damn, no wonder I said why no planes were flying over?"

So it turns out they couldn't even get them in the air.

At this moment, many viewers in the livestream room were also dumbfounded.

"666, no wonder there were no planes coming for support."

"It crashed right after takeoff; anyone who didn't know better would think it was jumping into the sea."

"Is that how these planes are built? The Pilot and the plane go into the sea together, losing both the plane and the points."

"If you're that bad, why grab the plane? Let Brother Wang do it; at least he can get it in the air."

At this moment, Wang Ye had no time to worry about those teammates.

He flew the plane toward Iwo Jima.

The plane kept vibrating, and Wang Ye had to focus all his attention on the plane, struggling to control it.

At this moment, the panel in front of him changed again.

It introduced him to various plane operations.

For example, how to operate the plane to roll, turn, climb, descend, and so on.

Besides that, there was bombing and shooting.

It also introduced the functions of various instrument buttons in the cockpit.

This tutorial seemed like it was trying to teach him how to fly this plane.

No, it was exactly trying to teach him how to fly this plane.

Wang Ye only took a simple glance; most of his attention was focused on controlling the plane.

They didn't show it before takeoff, and now they were making him look at it while flying; wasn't this just trying to distract him?

No wonder those people flying planes couldn't make it to Iwo Jima.

Everyone was learning how to fly their first plane; being able to get it in the air made you a standout.

Let alone flying it safely to the skies above Iwo Jima.

The ship was some distance away from Iwo Jima.

But even this distance was not easy to traverse.

At least, that's how Wang Ye felt.
