Chapter 893 - One Last Chance (1/2)
”Fire the second round! We need to destroy them before they destroy us!” Halsey cried, panicking when he saw the bleep on the sonar. That bleep was the Chinese underwater vessel deep in the sea. He dared not to make a move besides attacking.
”Yes, sir!”
The command was relayed to every ship. The 3rd and 7th Fleet immediately prepared their missiles again. In less than 30 seconds, all missiles were loaded into their silos and were shot towards the Chinese.
As soon as the missiles were in the air, the radar monitor picked up something odd.
”Sir! We have detected unidentified objects flying towards us at Mach 4 speed!” cried the operator.
”Can't you tell what is it?”
”I can't… Judging from the sizes and flying patterns, they look like birds. However, their speed is just… too fast…” cried the operator, sweating with fear.
”They must be the new China stealth fighters! Deploy our birds! Get them out in the air as fast as possible!” Halsey ordered. Even though Z9 Special Assault Team had just destroyed all the American fighters, the 3rd and 7th Fleet still had a few fighter jets left. Right then, all the backup fighter jets were fueled and sent to the flight deck and into the air.
”Z9 to commander center. Enemies in the air have been detected. Requesting permission to engage,” said Z9-001 unit.
”Permission granted. You are to terminate all threats in the air!” said Qin Tian, granting permission to Z9-001. After Qin Tian placed down the phone, an eerie smile curved from ear to ear. The man was happy that his name would now be recorded in history.
”Z9 S.A.T proceeding to terminate targets in the air,” said Z9-001, with eyes glowing deep crimson red.
The Androids retracted their arms and brought out a pair of particle beam cannons and begun to charge their attacks whilst aiming for the fighter jets that were taking off.
”Jesus! What are they?!”
”Bloody hell! That ain't human I'd tell ya!”
…
With eyes that glowed red and a pair of cannons as their arms, the fighter jet pilots were slightly frightened by what they saw.
”Destroy them!”
”Deploying machine guns!”
”Break formations! Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, switch attack plan to seek and destroy! I repeat, seek and destroy!”
The American pilots were well trained in aerial combat back in their country and were proficient enough to change their formations on the fly perfectly.
”Prioritizing enemies with the highest threat.”
Z9-001 switched its battle plan to match with the sudden change of the enemies flight formation.
