Stay away from Conan.

Clearly, once the armed helicopter spotted the target and began flying obviously towards Gao Yuan's location, Gao Yuan, after careful consideration, made a decision to order the drone swarm at the Twilight Villa to pursue the armed helicopter.

This is somewhat difficult, since they are already a few steps behind, and the pursuing drones may not be able to catch up with the armed helicopter in time.

However, after Gao Yuan pressed the button on his phone to issue the command, what actually appeared was far more than just the drones that had been silent near the Twilight Villa.
The instant Gao Yuan's command was transmitted via encrypted signal, in addition to the drone swarm scattered near the Twilight Villa suddenly changing its original state and turning around to head towards the armed helicopter that had broken formation and was heading towards the cliff where Gao Yuan was, many more drones flew out from the forest near Gao Yuan's location, forming a drone swarm and heading towards the armed helicopter from Gao Yuan's position.

Faced with this situation, the armed personnel inside the armed helicopter clearly noticed something amiss.

The helicopter's radar provided early warning, and a dense swarm of unidentified small flying objects was observed approaching from both sides. The pilots issued urgent warnings through their internal communication channels and immediately attempted to maneuver the helicopter to make evasive maneuvers.

At this moment, the remaining armed personnel on the helicopter also immediately went into combat readiness to deal with the still unclear situation.

The armed helicopter's onboard weapons were activated, locking onto the densely packed small targets that were rushing towards them.

At the same time, the armed men extended their weapons out of the hatch and began trying to see what the unidentified flying objects were through the sights of their guns.

And just like that, the armed personnel on the attack helicopter quickly confirmed that the unidentified flying objects were "toy airplanes" resembling helicopter models, but...

That's quite a lot?
However, toys are just toys after all. After the armed personnel confirmed that the unidentified flying object was just a "toy plane," even though they saw what appeared to be explosives on it, no one really took it seriously. After all, it was simply a fantasy to have a toy plane collide head-on with an armed helicopter.

So, as the machine gun bullets fired from the airborne weapon after locking on, the armed personnel on the helicopter thought that these troubles would soon be dealt with—

What good are lots of toys?
We have enough bullets loaded on our side!
Just when the armed personnel on board thought it would be over soon, something unexpected happened—

The dozens of simple drones that were rushing towards the helicopter seemed to have eyes; most of them avoided the strafing bullets from the armed helicopter, with only a few being hit and falling.

The remaining majority of them, from different heights and directions, converged on the armed helicopters like a large, tightening net.

Although small in size, they are extremely fast and fly in unpredictable trajectories. They do not charge in a straight line, but constantly make small, unpredictable changes of direction, just like a living, enraged swarm of bees.

The pilots of the armed helicopters clearly did not expect these "toys" to dare to respond in this way, nor did they expect their flight trajectories to be so bizarre.

The airborne light machine gun continued firing, bullets flying incessantly, but...

Everything seemed futile.

Because there are numerous targets and they cannot be precisely locked onto, even a weapon barrage of this scale is simply insufficient to deal with the swarm of drones coming from all directions.

These drone swarms demonstrated a level of collaborative combat capability that transcends our current understanding.

They did not rush in blindly in a swarm, but rather in several waves.

The first wave of drones suddenly dispersed, using irregular serpentine maneuvers to attract fire and induce machine gun fire; the second wave took the opportunity to advance from the sides and below at low altitudes, at a faster speed; the third wave climbed the altitude and swooped down from above.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A few drones were hit by machine gun fire, and plastic bombs exploded in the air, creating small fireballs. But most drones had broken through the fire net, recklessly crashing into the helicopter's rotor blades, fuselage sides, and observation windows—

These positions have already entered the blind spot of the airborne machine gun.

If it were manual shooting, so many small moving targets would be too much for just a few people to handle!
"Insane! These are outright suicide attacks!"

At this point, the observer in the helicopter co-pilot cried out in disbelief—

At this moment, he realized that they were not facing some insignificant "toy" at all, but a well-trained air force that had chosen to engage them in a suicide attack!
The difference is that their "suicide" only results in the loss of unmanned toys, while our side has real, manned airplanes!

The costs are completely disproportionate.

Faced with this situation, the pilot could only grit his teeth and pull hard on the control stick in an attempt to make an emergency evasive maneuver.

The massive helicopter made a violent tilting maneuver in the air, its rotors stirring up the airflow and creating a gust of wind. Several drones that collided with the rotors were swept away by the airflow, but a few still crashed solidly into the side and tail of the fuselage.

"boom--"

A series of explosions rang out. Although the limited amount of explosives carried by each drone prevented it from directly destroying the high-quality steel weapon, the impact and fragments from the explosions still left obvious dents and damage on the helicopter's exterior.

One of the observation windows was blasted with spiderweb-like cracks, the horizontal stabilizer at the tail also appeared to be damaged, and the flight attitude showed obvious sluggishness and wobbling.

Even more deadly was that these suicide crashes disrupted the pilots' judgment and operations, and also drew the full attention of everyone on board—

In other words, the situation has become chaotic.

Faced with this situation, the passengers had no choice but to call for help.

"This is 'Raven One'! Requesting backup! Repeat, requesting backup!"

Thus, as soon as this distress signal was sent through a dedicated channel, the other two armed helicopters immediately received the message. However, even without this distress signal, the armed helicopters that were hovering not far away over the Twilight Villa had already observed the encounter of the other armed helicopter.

"Received! Providing support immediately!"

At this point, the ground commander in charge of controlling the Twilight Villa received an emergency call from the air unit via his headset, and his face turned extremely grim.

He glanced at the silent organization members and political and business figures in the square, then looked up at the chaotic battlefield in the sky and the sight of new drones constantly taking off from the distant mountains and forests, and quickly made a decision.

He pressed the communication button, his cold, hard voice carrying through the external loudspeaker across the entire plaza outside the Dusk Villa:
"By direct orders from 'that person'! All organization members present, including those with codenames, are now under my temporary command! Objective: Ensure order at the Twilight Villa and prevent anyone from leaving or passing on messages! Gin, Vodka, Pisco... any disobedience will be considered a betrayal of the organization and will be executed without exception!"

These words caused an uproar in the square... (End of Chapter)
