After Xiao Ran drove Variable Fighter into this military base belonging to the United States, what he saw was a complete look of ruins left after the war. There were destroyed M6s lying on the ground, combat vehicles and tanks that were hit by shells and exploded, and a few damaged anti-aircraft equipment.
But other than these things, the entire base was quiet. Except for the sound of Variable Fighter MS Form running on the ground, there were no other sounds, and there was no trace of any living creatures in the base.
"Something's not right. Why does the whole body feel empty?"
The strange situation made Xiao Ran become more cautious and move faster. He quickly arrived in front of the intelligence warehouse where the US military hostages were held before slowing down.
"There is still no one, and there is no movement." Xiao Ran frowned slightly, controlled Variable Fighter, pulled out Beam Saber, and waved a few traces directly at the warehouse door in front of him, and then the warehouse door fell into several pieces on the ground, making a dull sound.
When Xiao Ran saw the contents of the warehouse through the gap opened by himself, his eyes gleamed with light and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. In the blink of an eye, Variable Fighter suddenly retreated, bursting out with a burst of red light and then rushed into the sky like a fighter plane.
In the warehouse, there were no so-called hostages at all. At least in Xiao Ran's eyes, he did not see a human being inside, or in other words, he did not see a human being who was still alive at all.
The entire warehouse was filled with corpses lying on the ground. They were all wearing military uniforms, with eyes wide and bulging outwards, and pale and blue faces. There was no blood or wounds, but only the hideous, painful, and frozen expressions of resentment.
A burst of green smoke floated out from the warehouse, but was blown away by the strong wind brought by Variable Fighter. The entire warehouse was densely covered with such green smoke. You don't need to think about it to understand that this green smoke is definitely a highly toxic chemical weapon, and all the corpses in the warehouse were created by this burst of blue smoke.
But if there was just a burst of blue smoke, Xiao Ran would not immediately fly Variable Fighter into the sky. After all, Variable Fighter's air circulation system could completely block the smoke. What really allowed Xiao Ran to start the machine and leave in an instant was the giant bomb located in the warehouse.
It was exactly the same as the unknown bomb that appeared in the hijacking incident at that time, but it was several times larger than that bomb. It was a super bomb that was even larger than the AS.
At that time, such a small bomb had the power to completely tear a large aircraft into pieces, and Xiao Ran even suspected that a bomb of this size could engulf the entire base in an instant.
Just as Variable Fighter was flying towards the sky, at a location far away from the base, looking at the base only a palm-sized distance away, a man with a scar on his face looked at the golden retriever wearing a white windbreaker with a sneer on his face, and waved his right hand.
He waved his right hand as if giving an order. Several anti-aircraft guns and missile vehicles behind the scarred man instantly sprayed out countless shells, flying quickly towards Variable Fighter with firelight, and countless roars and thick smoke suddenly erupted around Variable Fighter.
At this moment, Xiao Ran was driving Variable Fighter, facing the anti-aircraft firepower that fired at him from three directions at the same time, and he suddenly understood what was wrong with the base just now.
After entering the base, he felt that the base was empty. The fundamental reason was that the number of destroyed tanks, ASs, and anti-aircraft firepower in the base was too sparse. It did not look like the standard equipment of a regular military base during the Cold War. Moreover, it was an important military base located on such a huge island, or even an island group.
Similarly, Xiao Ran also seemed to understand at this moment that the base they needed to recapture in this mission was not the one in the original plot at all, but a larger military base that was closer to the land coastline.
Facing the shelling and missiles flying from three directions, and the huge bomb threat on the ground, all Xiao Ran could do was continue to fly towards the sky, maintaining a vertical upward posture, rotating and changing direction, avoiding the exploding bombs around him, and the only sound left in his ears was the roar of the exploding shells.
The person who signaled the attack on Variable Fighter on the ground was Jiulong. After occupying the US military base, he dragged out all the usable equipment in the base and set up an ambush further away, waiting for the Mithril troops to break in and be ready to destroy this army at any time.
But now all these plans were in vain, Jiulong also yelled at the side with a cold and disdainful smile, and the dancing Blond Man said, "I said, a trap of this level is of no use to him. To deal with such a guy, the only way to kill him is to rely on real power. Apart from causing us more losses, what other use does an idiotic plan like yours have?"
Blond Man instantly turned his head to look at Jiulong, his eyes revealed an even crazier meaning than Jiulong, and screamed with extreme dissatisfaction, "Trash, they are all trash, I can't delay it for just a few minutes, they are all trash, these trash should all go to hell! Even if they die, I will dig them out and let them go to hell again, trash, trash!"
"Idiot." Jiulong sneered, turned around and prepared to walk towards his red Hell Monarch. At this time, the AS was covered by layers of green camouflage nets. Not just the AS, but everything was like this. No wonder Mithril's satellite did not notice the situation far away from the military base.
"Jiulong!" Blond Man's madness stopped instantly, and he seemed to suddenly become calmer. He tilted his head and blinked his eyes and looked at Jiulong: "Did you just call me an idiot?"
"Ha." Jiulong stopped, laughed in a very mocking tone, and took another step without paying any attention to Blond Man. Looking at Jiulong's appearance, Blond Man once again had a crazy look in his eyes. He reached for his waist and pointed a pistol at Jiulong's vest.
But in the next second, the sharp blade of a dagger was placed across the middle of Blond Man's neck, and the black muzzle of a pistol in the other direction was also pressed against his head. It was only at this moment that Jiulong's voice sounded again, "GuAIZ, if I hadn't killed you and my bounty would be gone, then you would be dead now."
"Hehe." Blond Man suddenly chuckled, turned the gun in his hand in one direction, and pulled the trigger directly to make the pistol make a bang. A mercenary wearing a green military uniform and sweating profusely in front of the computer fell to the ground instantly. "Waste, they are all waste, but they were just a few minutes early, and you didn't detonate the bomb until now! Hey, eh? Jiulong, what did you just say?"
"Haha." Jiulong's voice full of murderous intent rang in the ears of Blond Man named GuAIZ, and then he jumped into the red cockpit of Hell Monarch. While starting the machine, he also issued another order of his own, "It's time to let that team appear, if that man doesn't kill him."
GuAIZ watched as he left with a knife and a pistol, and the two blue AS twins who also sat next to the red Hell Monarch also suppressed their teeth and grinned and breathed out. "They are all trash, bombs, bombs! Hurry up and detonate the bomb for me!"
"Boom!"
As soon as GuAIZ finished speaking, there was a loud noise behind him. A huge fireball suddenly appeared from the direction of the base, swallowing up the entire machine body in a short time. The strong wind also blew away countless gravels, and the base slowly melted into the huge fireball at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immediately afterwards, there were no less than five explosions in the entire huge island. Each explosion had the same power as the bomb exploded in the base. The appearance of several fireballs directly dyed the sky with a layer of black. The ground was shaking and the wind was howling.
The expression on GuAIZ's face was also stunned by the series of explosions. He turned around and stared blankly at several black mushroom clouds rising from the huge island. Then he turned to look at the bomb controller in shock. "What's going on?"
One of the controllers was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Didn't you ask us to start it?"
"Bang!"
There was a gunshot, and the Technicians who answered GuAIZ burst out with red blood from his forehead and fell to the ground. The remaining controllers quickly hid aside and looked at GuAIZ with some fear.
"Asshole, trash, don't you know that there are bombs placed under those anti-aircraft firepowers! Oh, what did he say, I asked him to activate it? Oh my, I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now, eh, it seems there is no hope, forget it, then I'll do it myself."
GuAIZ squatted on the ground and stabbed the second controller he killed with his pistol, then stood up with a helpless expression and walked directly to his red Hell Monarch.
As the two red Hell Monarchs stood up, carrying two weapons that were both knives and guns, they came together. Behind the two Hell Monarchs, ten identical blue Hell Monarchs also carried various weapons and opened up the layers of camouflage websites.
"Kill those mithrils and kill that transforming plane!"
GuAIZ's crazy shouts sounded in the communication channel. The next moment, the red Hell Monarch he was operating chased in the direction in which the Mithril team retreated. Behind him, including the Hell Monarch driven by Jiulong, a total of eleven ASs also flew in the same direction.
Xiao Ran, who was flying in the sky, also felt the strong impact of several bombs exploding on the island. However, after the bombs exploded, the anti-aircraft firepower that originally attacked from three directions was inexplicably reduced to only one direction, and the intensity of the attack was still unknown.
After Xiao Ran noticed that those bombs had overturned the anti-aircraft firepower used to deal with himself or the original Mithril air force, he also noticed the dozen ASs emerging from the only remaining anti-aircraft firepower point that was still attacking.
The appearance of two red Hell Monarch, ten blue Hell Monarch, and a total of twelve machines made Xiao Ran frown again. The feeling of these twelve machines to Xiao Ran was completely different from the third-generation AS of the miscellaneous soldiers it had just killed, and this could be seen from the completely different weapons held in the hands of these machines.
When all twelve airframes began to charge in one direction, Xiao Ran also realized their purpose. He squinted his eyes slightly but directly controlled Variable Fighter to rush towards the only remaining anti-aircraft firepower point. He temporarily ignored the twelve ASs that left and set his target first on this anti-aircraft firepower point.
But at the same time, he did not forget to use communication to notify Sousuke Sagara, Luo and others who were retreating. "Speed up the evacuation, there are enemies chasing behind!"
"Zi... please... zhi... one..."
But what came back from the communicator was the sizzling sound of current fluctuations, which made Xiao Ran raise his eyebrows. "Communication Interference, was it caused by an explosion?"
Although the last anti-aircraft firepower point is actually not close to the military base, it can still be reached in a few breaths at the speed of Variable Fighter. While avoiding the anti-aircraft firepower attack, Variable Fighter also dropped quickly. The Gatling laser gun hanging under the cabin and the two rotating doors on the flying wing Beam Gun also sprayed out countless beams of light as Variable Fighter fell.
When Variable Fighter was about to fall to the ground and transform into Fortress Mode, only half of the dense anti-aircraft firepower was left. Looking at the burning flames around the screen and the amalgam mercenaries running around, Xiao Ran controlled his body without any mercy and began to shoot at the remaining equipment, creating explosions again and again at the fire point.
In less than a minute, all these firepower equipment that could only defend against the air but had no ground capability were destroyed. They turned around and chased in the direction where the Mithril troops were evacuating.
Variable Fighter is very fast, and the rapid conversion between the three forms also allows Variable Fighter to exert strong environmental adaptability in various environments. Unlike a real fighter plane, which has to go around after an air strike, it can be completely flexible and precise in landing at the exact location.
It flew over the pursuing AS Unit and landed behind the Mithril retreating troops faster than the opponent. It was only at this time that the interference in the team's communication was minimized.
