Kurofune.
Its nature was an underground organization, and its members were from all over the world. Although it was funded by the Nippon government and Nippon companies, they never fully understood the organization. The cooperation between the two sides was more of a ”paid research” relationship, rather than a dependent relationship.
Kurofune's philosophy was not based on any superficial folklore or personal values, but on a near-crazy belief, or a stubborn ideology.
They believe that Natural Selection with the same origin as humans would bring eternal harmony to the human civilization, save humanity from its own suffering, and bring human civilization to the unreachable starry night no longer chained by gravity.
This kind of neo-religious group without any affliction to any organization and any secular interest was almost impossible to be discovered by intelligence organizations around the world.
The F35 pilot of Vulture-1 was one of the members of Kurofune. The original plan was to find a way to attack Jiang Chen's power armor, but there was a small change in the plan. Jiang Chen did not use the Power Armor but used the more flexible kinetic skeleton.
It was precisely because of this that the F35 changed the strategy of bombing and used the 25mm machine guns to shoot. But what Gordon did not expect was that the bullets that could blow tanks into pieces were dodged by Jiang Chen by instinct.
”The target is not hit.” A report from the ground unit transmitted into his ear.
”Roger. I will fire again.”
Gordon glanced at the thermal imaging display and found the heat source hanging from the side of the building. He sneers and raises the height to prepare for another dive.
However, at this moment, the infrared lock alarm began to beep.
Gordon cursed under his breath and immediately released a flare, then began to maneuver.
A close-range air-to-air missile flew right past the fuselage and made all of his hairs jump up.
Gordon, who dodged a blow, immediately boosted the engine power to the max, trying to get rid of the lock by the other fighter.
Among all the fourth-generation fighters, the F35 was arguably one of the most expensive fighters in the world. Because of the improvement in ground attack, it gave up some air superiority. So while it possessed a strong combat power, its mobility was not the most outstanding among fighters.
But despite this shortcoming, the fourth-generation fighters still displayed its prowess that no third-generation fighters could compare.
Gordon didn't think that the sneak attack was from a fourth-generation fighter. He escaped the friendly radar, and before the UA military could respond, he would have already completed the ground attack mission before landing in a secret military base. Only a few countries possessed fourth-generation fighters, and he didn't think Xin was one of them.
Even Russia with a good relationship with Xin, wouldn't sell its fourth-generation plane to them.
With a sneer, Gordon, while resisting the blood boiling up in his body, was about to send an AIM-120 at the target chasing him.
But when he raised his speed to the maximum and looked behind him, his sneer froze.
The plane that he couldn't distinguish did not show any signs of being left behind.
”How is this possible!” Gordon gritted his teeth and glanced at the speed dial, which was already approaching the red zone, then he pulled up instantly.
The nose of the F35 raised up, causing an emergency stop in the air that significantly decreased its speed. The blood flowing up almost made him faint, but Gordon had a smug look on his face.
Human's response time would be unable to respond in such a high-speed close air to air combat.
As long as the enemy plane flew in the front, the identity of the prey and the hunter would be reversed!
But at this instant, Gordon saw an incredulous scene through his bloodshot eyes.
Just as he pulled up, the Aurora-20 chasing in the rear unleashed its 27mm machine guns and shredded his fuselage and wings.
Just like he expected, the Aurora-20 soared underneath him.
However, what he did not expect was that the other pilot could fire in an instant.
With his hands off the control, Gordon desperately reached out and opened the ejection seat. He floated in the cold night sky while watching his plane disintegrate in the air...
