574 This night was bound to be unrestful (2/2)
At the same time, the Aurora-20 pilot ended the bullet time state and skillfully turned on thermal imaging to enter ground attack mode.
”The air target has been cleared, Shooter-1 is waiting for attack commands.”
...
Looking at the sparks in the air, and the silhouette that whizzed past, Jiang Chen was ecstatic.
It was Aurora-20!
He was worried about how to get rid of that fighter, but Ivan helped him solve this urgent issue.
Of course, he won't know that at this critical moment, it was Xia Shiyu that issued the attack command to Ivan as the CEO of the Future Group. In a strict sense, it was a decision out of her power because Future Group and Celestial Trade operated as separate entities. But in this critical period, it was no longer a consideration.
Xia Shiyu was the most suitable person to make this decision.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen left the cover with a rifle and opened the radio life signal detection device mounted on the EP. Six red dots were marked on his EP, and they were accelerating toward him.
Jiang Chen sneered and loaded the rifle.
[I am so tired of all of you!]
However, the Aurora-20 apparently did not give him the opportunity to fight. A low-altitude dive sounded combined with dense bullets instantly obliterated three red dots along with the zombies on that street. The dust even drifted two blocks away and landed on Jiang Chen's nose.
Three people died instantly. They realized the mission has failed and began to disperse.
But would Celestial Trade let them escape?
Don't forget who trained Moro!
The roar of the engine came from the distance and smashed through the zombies that began to gather. The guerrillas wearing gas masks jumped down from the military trucks and began to track the three unidentified soldiers who fled. The intensive gunshots echoed in the street. Guerrillas, zombies, and unidentified soldiers began a chaotic battle.
At the same time, a military Hummer stopped in front of Jiang Chen, and the general with a slanted military cap stepped out and saluted to Jiang Chen. He then spoke in English, though full of local characteristics.
”Mr. Jiang Chen, we have received a request from your country to come and pick you up. Please come with us, and we will take you to the safe area.”
Turning off the EP, Jiang Chen looked at the direction of the wreckage of the plane and put the rifle behind his back.
”What about those three people?”
”Our people are tracking them and will definitely bring their heads!” the general said immediately.
With the escalation of the civil war, Moro was now relying more and more heavily on Celestial Trade's supply. Their previous cautious attitude turned into respect today. While it was not certain if they would remain respectful after independence, at least for now, the guerrillas without a military factory must depend on Jiang Chen to survive.
It was precisely because of this that the general's attitude towards Jiang Chen is exactly as modest as how a subordinate treats a superior.
”I don't want their heads, I want at least one to be alive.” Suddenly, Jiang Chen pointed to the crashed passenger plane and went on, ”Also, I need the black box.”
”Leave it to us!”
After saying this, the general ordered the soldier next to him.
Then, Jiang Chen sat onto the Hummer and evacuated to the camp on the outskirts of City k.
Ladisov and Gilles fought as they retreated but couldn't escape because of the sheer number advantage of the guerrillas. Gilles and another team member died in recalcitrance, and Ladisov chose to surrender and was taken to outside the city.
Country F mobilized two more divisions and repelled the Moro guerrillas. At the same time, the three divisions controlling City K deployed checkpoints at all entrances to the city while declaring a state of quarantine.
A crash; two planes.
Even for the world, this night was bound to be unrestful.
