split sky ride

Chapter 954 - Ranking Battle

"How is that possible! Old David, don't worry, it was definitely not someone sent by the Lin family."

Chen Fei scoffed at the old man's speculation. He didn't need any evidence to be sure of it.

Based on past experience of dealing with the children of the Lin family, the Lin family would not be so petty. What's more, a child of the Chen family was present at the scene. Even if he had such thoughts, he would be more or less cautious.

"Really? That's great!"

Old David breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually quite worried.

He was simply no match for the "Lord of the Sky" Lin family. They were so powerful that they didn't even need to move a finger. As long as they gave a hint to the outside world, countless people would want to please the Lin family and kill him easily.

In fact, family members know their own business. He is just an old man who makes a living by piggybacking on other people's traffic. To put it bluntly, if Lin Mo had not shown mercy to him, old David would not have had the chance to live until now and brag about his lifelong enemy.

A sudden, psychotic self-destruction caught everyone off guard. However, it was difficult to cause much damage to a strategic-level air force base that covers a huge area. If you want to cause any serious damage, you must at least use tactical-level weapons. What's more, the self-destruction attack occurred in a living area. Even if there were casualties, most of them were personnel from non-important departments and employees of logistics service companies.

But just like what old David was worried about, the top brass at Barksdale Air Force Base were also concerned about whether the Lin family was behind this matter. Perhaps the other party had already noticed the secret interception operation that was about to be launched and gave an advance warning or deterrence.

Maybe next time, it won’t be this kind of painless self-destruction attack, but an overwhelming tactical-level firepower sweep.

Intelligence experts from the Federal Command, the CIA and the FBI took joint action, and the situation was turbulent and chaotic.

Chen Fei stayed in the hospital all night, and early the next morning, he accompanied old David out of the hospital.

The old man underwent a photohealing procedure and was given an IV bottle of glucose. When he woke up in the morning, he seemed to be in good spirits, much better than the casualties who were directly swept away by the shock wave and debris without any protection.

The Air Force base suggested that David take a two-day break, but he declined and insisted on starting the class as planned.

After all, he had already received the money, and it was more than enough. Of course, he should be loyal to the trust he received. He would not leave the podium even if he was only slightly injured. What's more, he didn't even get a scratch, but was just shaken by the residual power of the shock wave.

As soon as he and Chen Fei arrived at the hangar that served as a classroom, old David was surrounded by a group of young fighter pilots.

"Mr. Sid, I heard that you were drinking at the Dyson Chick bar last night, and there was a bombing there. Are you okay?"

"I'm so glad you look okay!"

"I know some healing spells, how about I heal you?"

……

"Thank you for your concern. I'm lucky and unharmed. Please take your seats. Today's class will begin soon."

Old David proved his condition with his loud voice. He had experienced so many big scenes in his life, so why would he care about such a small scene?

The news of the self-explosion in the living area spread throughout the air force base at the first opportunity. When the combat pilots heard that old David was also at the scene, they were all very worried. They thought that today's class would be postponed temporarily, but they had not received any relevant notification. They came to the hangar early to inquire about the situation. Until they saw old David continuing to come to class safely, they finally put their minds at ease.

Old David did not expose Chen Fei, but only attributed it to his good luck. This was certainly not ungratefulness, but deliberate.

The “qualifying battle” is about to begin, and Chen Fei’s special abilities need to be kept secret in order to give those combat pilots a “big surprise” (perhaps a big scare).

After all, this is the fairness that everyone has been demanding from the very beginning.

In fact, sometimes fairness is the greatest unfairness. In the same examination room, the same test paper, and the same teacher who grades the papers, who can guarantee that every student receives the same level of education? Moreover, students themselves have different abilities, so absolute fairness is impossible.

The two-day course ended quickly, and combat pilots from other sovereigns arrived at Barksdale Air Force Base one after another. Old David only collected the lecture fee for one session, so he naturally would not reopen the course for other sovereign pilots who arrived late.

Latecomers can only watch the recorded videos and ask limited questions after class. Naturally, their learning efficiency is not as good as that of the "American Gang" who attend the class on site. This is also the deliberate narrow-mindedness of the American Federation. If there are any good resources, they will definitely take care of their own people first.

Chen Fei, who was born in the First Sovereignty, was an exception. After all, he was too close, as he was originally in the territory of the "American Gang" and arrived relatively early. Although he was not notified in advance, he accidentally met Old David in the bar and received an invitation to attend the class. The American Federation could only accept it with a pinch of its nose.

What's more, given their relationship, it was natural for them to have extra time together after class, and no one could stop them.

However, after the short-term training course, the "qualifying battle" between combat pilots was entirely voluntary. Anyone could sign up, including pilots from Barksdale Air Force Base. A total of 1753 people signed up, including 853 local pilots. Not only full-time combat pilots, but even logistics personnel signed up. All combat pilots participating in this mission signed up, a total of 900 people, including 85 air knights. In order to intercept the defection of the "Lord of the Sky" Lin family, the sovereigns of Blue Star jointly dispatched a considerable scale of elite forces.

A full one hundred flight simulators are connected to a military supercomputing center at the same time, filling up an entire large hangar. In addition, there is a large-scale three-dimensional holographic projection equipment that can cover the entire hangar. Colorful string flags are pulled up, hot dog stands, ice cream stands are all set up. Even kindergartens and schools are on holiday. Bet on, bet on, the odds are 1.2 to 1, and you can bet on one or more. The final ranking bet is 10 to 1.

The hangar where the flight simulator was located was packed with people, all the places where simulated battles could be viewed were packed with people, and the bar was even more crowded.

"WTF!!!"

The instigator, Sky Knight Myron, looked at the festive scene in front of him with a stunned look on his face. He couldn't believe that he was the one who started it, triggering a series of reactions that eventually turned into a jaw-dropping commotion.

Just because he wanted to teach Chen Fei, an ignorant civilian, a lesson (education), he casually proposed the "ranking battle". I'm afraid even he himself didn't expect that it would turn into a grand party. Even the logistics personnel of the Air Force base got involved. It was obviously going astray!
Hey, hey, hey, this is a sacred duel, not an e-sports game! You all should be serious!
Myron is a serious man, but the current situation is obviously not so serious.

"Great job, Myron!"

A black boy from the "American Gang" licked an ice cream and patted him on the shoulder happily.

“Well done!”

I thought it was a tense and serious mission, but I didn't expect such a scene. The Sky Knight from the southern continent of America also patted Myron who was standing there in a daze.

"come on!"

“I love it, it has a festive atmosphere!”

"I met a new lady again."

"There's a pretty hot girl in the ground refueling squadron. Go flirt with her when you have time. Just say I introduced you to her. I guarantee it will work out..."

……

A group of "American gangs" were arm in arm with each other, speaking threatening words with frivolous faces.

Chen Fei was dragged into a corner by the air knights of the First Sovereign, and was taught the tricks in person and made full use of the time to make up for the lessons.

Even if they are civilians, they are our own people. At the very least, we cannot bring shame to the first sovereignty. Militiamen are also soldiers. It makes sense to conscript men into the front line!

MMP's "American Gang" has a very bad conscience. They specifically pick on us civilians and bully us. They are all not human beings. They deserve to die.

The fighter pilots of the "America Gang" and the fighter pilots of the "Europa Gang" were not completely ignorant of Chen Fei. At least they were able to find some relevant information about the "Abyss Arena".

one look!
Ok!

The level of private military contractors is just that. They will be allowed three rounds at most and a decent exit. Otherwise, what else can they do? If they win, it will be even more embarrassing. If they lose, it will be even more embarrassing.

On the other hand, Chen Fei knew nothing about all the fighter pilots here, whether they were pilots or air knights. The two sides were not in the same circle at all. If it were not for the emergency situation of the "Lord of the Sky" defecting, it would be almost impossible for them to meet.

The pilots of the First Sovereignty, who have always regarded other powers as imaginary enemies, are not completely ignorant of their foreign counterparts. Although the time is short and they cannot cover everything, they can analyze some of the opponent's typical tricks clearly and give corresponding suggestions.

After being forced to eat this special meal, Chen Fei was greatly enlightened.

More than 50 people participated in this "qualifying battle", which adopted a one-on-one duel elimination system. One hundred flight simulators can start 50 duels at the same time, eliminating people at a time. After five or six consecutive battles, the top can be determined.

The pace of aerial combat is often extremely fast, with the winner being decided in a few minutes or no longer than half an hour, and it is rare for a battle to last more than an hour.

High-intensity combat often means high energy consumption and large amounts of ammunition. Whether it is energy or ammunition, the carrying capacity of combat aircraft cannot last that long.

Myron, from the 11th Air Force Air Cavalry Combat Squadron in Alaska, with the call sign "Nightcry" and boarding number 1034, faced a loader from Barksdale Air Force Base in the first match, with boarding number 753.

The two men boarded the flight simulator, and the roar of operation lasted less than three minutes before the winner was decided.

Professionals beat amateurs, and the Air Knights beat the ground crew. It was an unfair victory, and they lost... It was impossible for them to lose.

Myron, who got out of the flight simulator, had no expression on his face. He looked towards Chen Fei without any expression and raised his hand to make a gesture of wiping his neck.

Among the first-level sovereign combat pilots who were surrounding Chen Fei, someone cursed: "MMP, don't fall into my hands, or I will torture this bastard to death!"
