Randomly Choosing a Lucky Winner

The controller had just been about to send his side's fighters to monitor it when he noticed that the red dot had disappeared again.

After Li Zhi had climbed to an altitude where the other side could detect him, he had gone back into a dive and entered the radar's blind spot.

He's making a low-altitude penetration!

That was the first thing that came to the Peacock controller's mind. Since the red dot representing Li Zhi had only appeared for a few seconds, the controller didn't even know whether Li Zhi had crossed the border.

It was entirely possible. Many battles throughout history had broken out for no apparent reason, happening when everyone thought they wouldn't.

As a controller at the air force command center, he wasn't qualified to draw his own conclusions, so he could only report the situation to Commander Sunak.

At the same time, he sent two fighters to check it out.

Just after he reported the situation to Sunak, the Dragon Country fighter appeared on the radar screen again.

Even a fool would have understood by now: the Dragon Country pilot was toying with them again, only this time he had a new trick.

The controller couldn't help cursing under his breath, though he wasn't cursing Li Zhi, but his own country's pilots.

Every few days, Dragon Country came up with some new trick and made monkeys of Peacock's pilots.

Yet the Peacock pilots were outmatched. They couldn't even catch a whiff of the other side's exhaust, and were being led around by the nose.

If a war really breaks out, can we count on these good-for-nothings?

The controller felt pessimistic for a moment, but soon got a hold of himself.

It wasn't because he had any great military discipline. Rather, because he had no surname, he had long been denied the respect he deserved, leaving him with little sense of belonging to Peacock.

In Peacock Country, the difference in status between people with surnames and those without was as vast as heaven and earth.

"Damn it, it's that plague god again!"

When Li Zhi showed himself again, the Peacock fighters sent to monitor him happened to spot him.

By sheer coincidence, the two Peacock fighters sent to monitor Li Zhi this time were once again piloted by Sanjay and Xiaerdi.

When Xiaerdi saw that the fighter's number was J20024, he immediately began complaining. Li Zhi had dealt him quite a blow last time.

Li Zhi had no idea he was dealing with old acquaintances. He didn't make a habit of remembering weaklings.

This time, Li Zhi didn't rush to descend again. Since he had come to stir up trouble, he naturally had to provoke his opponents.

Li Zhi adjusted his fighter's angle, then began illuminating them with his fire-control radar.

"Beep~~~"

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded in Xiaerdi's fighter.

"Damn it, he's locking onto me! He's going to attack me!"

Frightened, Xiaerdi hurriedly performed a roll maneuver, trying to evade Li Zhi's lock.

Li Zhi hadn't actually intended to attack him, so he let him evade easily. Then he used the same trick on the other Peacock fighter.

Sanjay also evaded Li Zhi's lock with ease.

What exactly is this Dragon Country fighter trying to do? Does Dragon Country want to start a war?

Sanjay was calmer than Xiaerdi. After being locked onto, he didn't lose his temper, but thought about why Li Zhi had done it.

Xiaerdi, however, was not nearly as calm. Illuminating an opponent with fire-control radar was a very serious provocation and could even be considered a declaration of war.

"Sanjay, we have to teach him a lesson!"

Xiaerdi began trying to lock onto Li Zhi with his fire-control radar. Sanjay could only stop thinking and support his teammate.

Li Zhi wasn't about to give them a chance to lock onto him. His fighter was already flying fairly low, so he went straight into a vertical dive, leveled out close to the ground, and resumed flying at ultra-low altitude.

Li Zhi's fighter was too low, so the Peacock fighters' fire-control radars naturally lost their target.

"Trying to run? Not so fast!"

Xiaerdi thought Li Zhi was trying to escape. After all, there were two fighters on his side, and Li Zhi had no advantage.

Xiaerdi immediately went after him. He was a little afraid of Li Zhi one-on-one, but he was very confident with two against one.

Although Sanjay, beside him, felt something was a little off, his teammate had already charged ahead. He naturally couldn't abandon him, so he could only follow.

This time, worried that his teammate might be at a disadvantage, Sanjay didn't choose to watch from high altitude. After all, they had already used their fire-control radars to illuminate each other, so an attack was possible.

Li Zhi looked back at the two Peacock fighters following him on his left, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

Li Zhi hadn't caused a big enough commotion yet, so the Dragon Country ground forces near the Great Snow Mountain had not received orders from above to begin their operation.

Sanjay and Xiaerdi never got a chance to attack Li Zhi. After all, they couldn't fly lower than he did.

But Li Zhi's method wasn't invincible. All they had to do was get above him and suppress him with their autocannons.

Then Li Zhi would surely be thrown into a scramble trying to evade the autocannon fire. At such a low altitude, a single mistake would make the outcome almost certain.

But the problem now was that Sanjay and Xiaerdi simply didn't dare come over!

It wasn't Li Zhi they feared, but Dragon Country's anti-aircraft firepower!

They were also afraid of causing friction between the two countries. They had received no orders permitting them to cross the border.

If anything went wrong, the two of them would be in serious trouble. After all, they were both Peacock men without surnames.

The fact that they had no chance to lock onto Li Zhi didn't mean he had no chance to lock onto them.

It just wasn't the best time yet. The terrain around them was too flat; "playing" here wouldn't be as exciting, so Li Zhi chose to hold his position.

The three fighters soon reached a hilly area, where the terrain rose and fell, and the trees were of uneven heights as well.

Every so often, a tree of some unknown species stood out, towering well above the others around it.

Terrain like this had a major impact on fighters flying at ultra-low altitude. A moment's inattention could lead to danger.

But this was exactly the battlefield Li Zhi had in mind. He had picked it as the best location while familiarizing himself with the surroundings earlier.

Li Zhi began pressing down with his left foot, engaging the rudder beneath it.

The fighter turned sharply left, its nose pointing straight at Sanjay and Xiaerdi.

The fire-control radar began illuminating them again, randomly choosing a lucky winner. Once again it was Xiaerdi. His luck seemed rather good: he had been chosen both times.

Li Zhi was flying lower than Xiaerdi, so there was no gap in the fire-control lock.

"Beep~ beep~~ beep~~~"

The warning alarm in the cockpit grew more and more urgent. Once a target had been illuminated by fire-control radar for over three seconds, practically all the attack parameters had been gathered.

At such close range, once a missile locked on, there was almost no chance of escape!
