Byron's Blade

The first to spot the snow moth was not the two pilots in the cab, nor the radar system, but Mu Li and Qiu Zheng.The noise of the plane was loud, so they naturally didn't hear the snow moth's movement, but because they knew that they were about to pass through the valley at this time, they were extra vigilant compared to the others.They, who had been paying attention to the movement outside the window, saw the snow moth's wings flashing by almost at the same time.

The first thing they did was to make sure everyone was seated. When Mo Kexin was absent, Mu Li immediately asked Lin Zhao to find her. Behind the cargo hold rushed.

When Lin Zhao came back with Mo Kexin, Mu Li and Qiu Zheng were no longer in the cabin.At this time, the in-flight broadcast was late, and Lan Ni's voice sounded, telling everyone that they had encountered snow moths, and asked everyone to sit still, and the pilot would work hard to get rid of them.

However, as long as one has a little understanding of the snow moth's characteristics, everyone knows that it is extremely difficult to get rid of it.Although the flying speed of the snow moth is not fast, once it is overtaken, its insect feet will be firmly stuck to the fuselage, and it cannot be shaken off no matter what.And the dust on its wings is strong acid dust, which is highly corrosive. Now that the influence of the strong wind has weakened, it is difficult to guarantee that the fuselage will not be corroded if it is in close contact with snow moths for a long time.

Once the fuselage is damaged, the consequences will be disastrous.Therefore, time is everything. Now that he knows he has been stuck by snow moths, the most important thing to do is to solve the problem as quickly as possible.

Let's talk about the cab.Lan Ni returned to the cab, just sat down, the seat belt was not fastened, suddenly heard the driver in front exclaimed, suddenly pulled the lever, and the nose of the aircraft was raised, fortunately she was already seated, otherwise she would have to fall backwards and fall to the back .When the plane stabilized, she immediately put on her seat belt as quickly as possible, and heard Mu Xin frowned and said:

"It's Snow Moth."

"Yes, Mr. Hermit." The pilot was still in shock, because the radar showed nothing, and he was caught off guard. He suddenly saw a snow moth appearing in front of the nose, so he pulled the lever urgently to avoid it.

"Why is there no response from the radar at all?" The co-pilot complained while manipulating the buttons above his head.

"It's the dust on Snow Moth's body, which can block radar detection." Lan Ni replied immediately, "It's very good at camouflage. The dust on its body is not only strong acid dust, but the particles can also scatter light, and the reflected waves are too weak, so the radar is not good at it. kick in."

As she said that, Lan Ni grabbed the radio microphone beside her and hurriedly issued a warning to the cabin behind.Then she put down the microphone, suddenly her heart trembled, she remembered something, and immediately asked Mu Xin:

"Where's Mu Li? Are you sitting there?"

There is a monitor at Mu Xin's hand, which is the monitoring screen of the passenger compartment and cargo compartment at the back, so Lanny asked this question.Mu Xin was startled when he heard the words, before he could look at the surveillance screen, the phone hanging beside him rang.With a flash in her eyes, she quickly picked up the phone:

"This is the cab."

"Teacher, it's me." It was Qiu Zheng's voice, "Mu Li and I are at the cargo door at the tail of the aircraft, please open the elevator door."

"You two! Why are you messing around without orders!" Mu Xin was furious.

"Teacher, make a quick decision, don't waste time!"

"It's too dangerous! This is more than 5000 meters high, and there is no body left when you fall. Even if you are protected by ropes, the danger will not be reduced much at all. You must know that once you are accidentally contaminated with dust, you will die." Mu Xin Frowning, said hastily.

"Teacher, there is no time." Qiu Zheng's voice was still calm, "Three planes, our one has already been entangled, and there are two other planes, so many people and supplies, we can't afford to lose them. No way." I lost everything just after we set sail. Don’t worry, teacher, we’ll come back intact.”

Mu Xin gritted her teeth, struggling inwardly.

At this time, the front co-pilot suddenly received a contact and reported:

"The No. 2 machine from the rear came to report. A snow moth was wrapped around the No. 1 machine, one was wrapped around the No. 2 machine, and two were wrapped around the No. 3 machine. There are four in total. Please cooperate to remove the snow moth! "

"Cooperate?" Mu Xin raised her eyebrows.

Lan Ni clapped her hands: "I understand! Aircraft No. 1 clears the snow moths on Aircraft No. 2, Aircraft No. 2 clears the snow moths on Aircraft No. 1, and then the two planes cooperate to clear the snow moths on Aircraft No. 3. A certain distance can minimize the damage of dust.”

"Long-range attack? This is impossible. This is an altitude of 5000 meters. We are still advancing at a high speed. The wind speed and air pressure are terrible. Bullets float away when fired. Exploded together?" Mu Xin immediately pointed out the most critical point.

The co-pilot then reported: "Mr. Hermit, two fighters from aircraft No. 2 have already left the aircraft with sniper guns and climbed onto the back of the aircraft."

"Who!" Mu Xin's eyes widened.

"Robin Quinn, the sharpshooter of Seahawks No. [-] Squadron, and his spotters."

On the phone, Qiu Zheng's urgent request sounded:

"teacher!"

"Open the cabin!" Mu Xin gritted her teeth and ordered, "Follow their plan."

Then she picked up the phone and told Qiu Zheng:

"Pay attention to safety, stand upwind, and don't be touched by dust."

"Don't worry, teacher!" After saying that, Qiu Zheng hung up the phone.

"You let them out..." Lan Ni frowned and looked at Mu Xin.

Mu Xin hung up the microphone silently, put on the headphones again, and directed:

"Try to keep the plane as stable as possible, and keep a certain distance from No. 2 and No. 3 aircraft."

"clear."

Lanny gritted her teeth and clenched her fists worriedly.

***

The internal structure of the Snow Eagle aircraft is quite simple, the nose cockpit, followed by the airborne weapon control cabin, the passenger cabin and the cargo compartment.There is an air valve between the passenger cabin and the cargo compartment, and the air pressure between the two is different.Moreover, oxygen is supplied in the passenger cabin, but not in the cargo compartment, so you must open the gate and wear an oxygen supply helmet to enter the cargo compartment. The No. 3 aircraft is different from the No. 1 and No. 2 aircrafts. The passenger compartment and the cargo compartment are completely opened up, making the space larger, so that all the big guys such as armored vehicles and trucks can be loaded into it.

The cargo compartment of aircraft No. 1 is actually empty, and a large part of the central space is empty of any items.Only in the two rows of welded iron cages on both sides of the cargo hold are locked the luggage packages of all the crew members on board.

Of course, large weapons are also placed inside.

When Mu Li opened the gate, Qiu Zheng dialed the phone next to the gate and got in touch with Mu Xin.After getting approval, Qiu Zheng put on his helmet and followed Mu Li into the cargo hold.

The first thing they do when they enter the cargo hold is to fetch ropes and weapons.Mu Li carried his spear and knife on his back, and Qiu fought for a high-performance sniper/gun.The two men tied the rope around their waists and buckled the safety buckle on the metal fence on the right side of the plane, which is closest to the cabin door.Then the two stood at the door of the cabin, adjusted their posture, held the handle tightly, and reported to the cab to open the cabin through the radio in the helmet.

The cabin door fell slowly, and the violent airflow tried to suck the two of them out of the tail of the plane.However, the two of them had been prepared for a long time, and they held on tightly, so they were not sucked out.Mu Li was in the front, slowly leaning out from the right side, and pulled open a gate on the outer wall of the tail of the plane. The outer wall was cut to both sides, revealing the climbing ladder embedded in the fuselage.

Mu Li stretched out his hand and grabbed the climbing body with all his strength, and then pulled himself up with great effort. Chou Zheng followed behind her, and a rope was tied between the two of them, so that in case one had an accident, the other could rescue in time.

They climbed up the climbing body in the strong wind, and even wearing fully sealed helmets, they could still hear the whistling of the wind blowing past their ears.Their goal is the position on the back of the machine near the nose, where there is a hook that can be fastened with a rope to fix the body.

Snow Moth is hanging upside down under the belly of the plane at this moment, and its huge insect feet can be seen firmly gripping the fuselage, with its wings spread out parallel to the plane's wings.The belly is where the engine is located, where the heat source is the most abundant, and naturally it is also the place that attracts it the most. There is no mecha hanging under the belly of machine No. 1, which gives this big bug a favorable place to occupy.

Mu Li and Qiu Zheng naturally wouldn't come into close contact with it, since it was hidden under the belly of the plane, they would get on the back of the plane.It's also easier to snipe there.

Mu Li opened the way in front, and Chou Zheng let go of the rope behind and straightened the rope.The length of the rope is sufficient, but the problem is that it gets in the way and cannot be fixed along the way like when climbing.But it doesn't work without the rope, this thing is a lifeline.

It is not difficult for them to climb the ladder to the back of the plane, but the next step is the difficulty. Moving forward on the back of the plane flying at high altitude is extremely difficult.The powerful airflow blows violently backwards along the streamlined arc of the back of the aircraft, forming wind pressure and allowing the aircraft to fly.When a person stands on the back of the aircraft, he is obviously facing the strong airflow. Although it will not affect the flight of such a large aircraft, it is obviously almost impossible for a person to move.

Mu Li was in front, crawling on the fuselage with difficulty, moving forward bit by bit.Because there is nothing to hold on to, it is entirely dependent on friction to counteract the oncoming strong wind.Fortunately, there are suction cups on her tactical gloves, and the suction cup function of the gloves can be turned on when necessary.

After climbing for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw a rectangular cover on the back of the machine.Open the lid and you will see a hook inside.This thing is used for lifting. When the plane takes off, it is hidden inside. No one thought that it could be used when flying at high altitude.

She hastily fastened the safety buckle of the rope to the card hook, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.Then she heard Qiu Zheng's voice on the intercom headset.

"You fix my body, I'll shoot."

Fixed body?Mu Li was stunned for a moment, not understanding how to fix his body.But Qiu Zheng had already taken off the sniper/gun on his back and lay down on his stomach.The gun was aimed at the No. 2 machine on the opposite side, and there was also a huge snow moth hidden under the belly of the No. 2 machine.Looking from the No. 1 aircraft, the Snow Moth is almost comparable in size to such a huge Snow Eagle transport aircraft, and it looks very spectacular when it spreads its wings with the Snow Eagle No. 2 aircraft.

Mu Li finally decided to complete Qiu Zheng's so-called "fixing the body" according to her own understanding. She lay directly on Qiu Zheng's body, using her own weight to put pressure on Qiu Zheng, and her arms helped fix Qiu Zheng's arms and help her aim. .

Although Mu Li's actions were indeed Qiu Zheng's original intention, she still felt chills from the bottom of her heart.I always feel overwhelmed and uncomfortable.

"Help me calculate the wind force and speed, distance, and shooting angle, and convey to the cab." Chou Zheng said to Mu Li awkwardly.

"Okay." Mu Li answered very simply, Qiu Zheng could feel the vibration of her chest pressing on his back.

"Wind speed...wind force...distance...shooting angle, cab, level down three meters, moving forward at a constant speed..." Mu Li methodically calculated the shooting data, which is what the observer needs to do .Of course, when there are no observers, snipers need to do these things themselves.

"Is the position adjusted? The aim is the snow moth's head, otherwise it won't be fatal with one shot." Mu Li confirmed.

"I know! Who do you think I am?" Qiu Zheng replied impatiently, with a very bad tone.

Afterwards, the two of them didn't speak any more, and they agreed to calm down, waiting for the moment when they would shoot.Sniping is not to shoot when conscious, but to shoot unconsciously, especially when shooting a relatively difficult shot, it is often unconscious, and the accuracy is very high.

Just when Mu Li thought he should shoot, Chou Zheng really pulled the trigger.Mu Li's body was shaken by the recoil, and the bullet whizzed away in the strong wind, hitting the ugly monster's head under the belly of the No. [-] machine.

"Pfft", that ugly snow moth's body twitched, and the dust all over its body fell down rustlingly, and even the No. [-] machine began to bump.

"Hit!" Qiu Zheng's excited voice came.

In the next second, Mu Li watched as a bullet flew over and directly hit the snow moth on the No. 1 machine, but it seemed that it missed the vital point. The snow moth struggled violently and roared mournfully,

"Ah! Ahhhh!" The plane rolled over, Mu Li was rolled up, and the hatred below was blown away directly, and the whole person floated into the air without strength, and the rope around his waist became the last straw .

Mu Li struggled to grab the hook, stretched out his other hand, and shouted:

"Chou Zheng, catch me!"
