Chapter 176 Tenderness and Crisis Beneath the Wings of Steel
The two men burst into laughter on the ravaged deck.
Li Yichen looked down at Ji Yanran, who was still trembling slightly in his arms, and teased her.
"Yanran, would you like to experience the feeling of flying freely?"
Ji Yanran had just returned from the brink of death, and her mind was still a little fuzzy.
Looking up at the silver-gray armor, he recalled the scene of this thing tearing through the steel plate just now.
She swallowed hard and nodded vigorously.
Li Yichen casually wrapped his left arm around her waist and steadily supported her back with his right hand.
The two were very close together.
The metal outer shell felt cool, but the temperature inside the armor radiated outwards.
"Hold me tight."
next second.
The vector nozzles on the soles of the feet ignited with a roar.
The intense orange-red airflow suddenly reversed direction, blowing the spent cartridge cases scattered on the deck in all directions.
A powerful thrust lifted it up from the ground.
The two were instantly propelled off the deck and soared into the sky.
"ah--"
Ji Yanran's scream pierced the sea breeze, reaching an extremely high decibel level.
on the deck.
Marcus clutched his broken ribs, leaning against the wreckage of the container.
He watched as the metal man wrapped one arm around the woman's waist, flames erupted from his feet, and he rose into the air.
"My God..."
Marcus muttered to himself, forgetting even the pain.
Several mercenaries who were clutching their broken arms and legs and groaning in pain were so shocked by this shout that they forgot to cry out in pain.
They all stared wide-eyed, their necks craned back in a daze.
Watching the humanoid metal figure holding a woman, it turned into a point of light and disappeared into the sky.
Victor, who was standing next to him, had just woken up from his coma and saw the two of them rushing towards the sky.
He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating from a concussion.
This is a force that humans simply cannot contend with.
high in the air.
Li Yichen didn't dare to push the thrust to its maximum.
He was holding a completely unprotected mortal body in his arms.
If it were to reach supersonic speeds, air resistance could tear it to shreds in an instant.
The speed was kept at just over 100 miles per hour.
Altitude locked at 100 meters.
Smooth cruising.
Heading straight towards Shanghai.
Ji Yanran was so frightened that she kept her eyes tightly shut at first.
With both hands gripping Li Yichen's breastplate, his fingernails scraped against the carbon fiber titanium alloy surface, making a screeching sound.
He curled up into a ball, forgetting even to breathe.
After a few minutes.
The feeling of weightlessness subsided.
The wind gradually softened.
The armor's built-in hydrodynamic design cuts through most of the oncoming airflow.
All I could hear was the whistling of the wind.
A steady lifting force came from beneath my feet.
She tentatively opened one eye.
Large swaths of blue seeped through the gaps.
Then both eyes opened wide.
The sea and sky blend into one.
Beneath my feet lies an endless expanse of azure blue.
Sunlight hits the crests of the waves, shattering into countless golden points of light.
Several seagulls soared past them, their wings spread, from dozens of meters below.
She truly flew in the sky.
This unobstructed flight experience is a hundred times more thrilling than flying in a helicopter.
"Boss..."
Ji Yanran's hair was blown about by the wind, with several strands sticking to Li Yichen's dark black mask.
"This is so awesome!"
The fear in my heart was completely dispelled by an unprecedented excitement.
She simply rested her head on Li Yichen's hard breastplate, turning her neck left and right, greedily taking in the scenery along the way.
"Boss, how much did this suit of armor cost?"
Ji Yanran asked loudly.
"Didn't I already tell you? Two billion."
Li Yichen answered.
"It's really inexpensive!"
Ji Yanran called back.
"Just for its flying ability, it's worth 20 billion!"
Li Yichen smiled.
He didn't reply.
At this cruising speed, the 170-kilometer sea route, plus the land route back to Tomson Riviera, would take at least two hours.
He wasn't in a hurry at all.
I even think it's nice to fly slowly like this.
A rare moment of peace and quiet.
More than 100 nautical miles away.
The East China Sea Fleet of the Great Xia Navy, Shenwu aircraft carrier battle group.
Routine navigation operations.
Inside the CIC operations command center, blue tactical screens flickered with a cold light.
Radar nodes of all sizes completely cover the entire East China Sea.
A staff officer on duty sat in front of the radar control console, staring at the screen all morning, his eyes starting to ache.
He picked up the black coffee next to him.
Just as it was brought to its lips.
A red dot suddenly lit up in the bottom right corner of the main screen.
The staff officer's movements froze.
Their gaze quickly focused.
Its radar cross-section is extremely small and can be almost ignored.
If the distance weren't close enough, and the phased array radar weren't operating at full power, it wouldn't be able to detect it at all.
This feature is all too familiar.
The "mysterious flying object" that kept the entire fleet's top brass up all night a few days ago has already been flagged with the highest level of warning in the CIC system.
Clang.
The coffee cup hit the metal table, spilling brown liquid all over the table.
The staff officer didn't even bother wiping himself; he suddenly sat up straight in his chair and pressed the internal communication key heavily with his finger.
The flagship's commander-in-chief, who was looking at nautical charts on a high chair at the back, strode over upon hearing the commotion.
My gaze swept across the screen.
That's it.
The commander-in-chief tapped his fingers on the edge of the table.
I knocked twice.
"This time."
He speaks very slowly, emphasizing each word.
"We absolutely cannot let it run away again."
"Two J-35 fighters took off and approached the target area at full speed."
The commander-in-chief straightened up and issued instructions.
"Closer to within visual range. I need to see clearly what that thing is."
Less than a minute.
A fierce wind howled on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier.
Ground crew signaled takeoff.
The afterburners of the two J-35 fighter jets instantly spewed out violent flames.
The electromagnetic catapult is firing.
The heavy fighter jet, weighing tens of tons, was propelled toward the bow of the ship by tremendous force, and then leaped into the air.
Landing gear retracted.
The wings cut two white vortices in the air.
The fighter jet pulled up, its nose pointing directly to the northwest.
The sound barrier was shattered in an instant, and the two-plane formation rushed toward the target at full speed.
One hundred nautical miles.
For supersonic fighter jets, it's just a matter of stepping on the accelerator.
Li Yichen was flying steadily.
In the upper right corner of the HUD, Ling'er's chibi-style figure suddenly popped up.
Her relaxed pose of swinging her legs vanished instantly, and her face tightened into a tense expression.
"Brother! Warning!"
A red alert box was flashing wildly in the center of the HUD.
"Two high-speed targets are approaching! They are located to the northwest, and the distance is decreasing extremely rapidly!"
Ling'er used her hands to draw a tactical radar map in the air.
"It's a J-35!"
Li Yichen paused slightly as he walked forward.
Bow down.
Ji Yanran was still leaning against his chest, pointing enthusiastically at a reef island that was faintly visible on the distant horizon, completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Click.
Fold the V-shaped mask upwards and hide it.
The wind blew in.
Li Yichen gave a wry smile.
"Yanran".
"Um?"
Ji Yanran looked up at him.
"This is troublesome."
Li Yichen faced the wind and uttered a few words.
"We've been locked onto by fighter jets."
Ji Yanran froze instantly.
The excitement on his face vanished completely.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide open.
"Boss! What did you say?!"
The fear that had just been dispersed by the sea breeze returned tenfold, and his voice changed instantly.
"Fighter jets? We're not going to get shot down by missiles, are we?!"
"rest assured."
Li Yichen offered a comforting remark.
"They probably won't launch missiles right away. They're most likely here to verify our identities."
That's what they say.
He knows the calculations better than anyone else.
The reason it was able to run last time was because the armor was at full power, and the speed of Mach 4 allowed it to shake off radar tracking.
This time it won't work.
He was holding someone in his arms.
The speed cannot be increased.
It can't be raised to a certain height either.
Can't run away.
There's no escaping it now.
Inside the Falcon 1 cockpit.
The pilot stared intently at the target data displayed on the head-up display.
"Falcon 2, target is hovering."
"Roger that. What kind of aircraft is this? A helicopter?"
"Radar characteristics are incorrect. Prepare for visual confirmation."
The distant horizon.
A deep, rumbling sound rolled in.
Getting closer.
It got louder and louder.
Two heavy fighter jets tore through the clouds and swooped down from high altitude.
Startled, Ji Yanran shrank back and instinctively buried her face in Li Yichen's neck, clinging tightly to his neck with both hands.
Li Yichen did not speed up his escape.
The angle of the vector nozzles on the soles of the feet is fine-tuned.
The forward momentum is counteracted.
He held Ji Yanran in his arms, and they hovered in mid-air.
On the HUD screen, two red triangles representing the J-35 are rapidly approaching.
Ten nautical miles.
Five nautical miles.
The last three nautical miles.
There's no escaping it now.
Li Yichen was suspended 100 meters above the sea.
There was no panic.
There was no backing down.
Let the sea breeze blow across your face, which is not covered by a mask.
He lifted Ji Yanran in his arms with one arm, protecting her even more tightly.
No matter what kind of questioning I face next, no matter how many secrets I have to expose.
Li Yichen would not allow anything to happen to Ji Yanran in his arms.
The roar of fighter jets was already overhead.
The author is asking for five-star reviews again to keep going, hehe.
