Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen threw the Rubik's cube that Lin Lin gave him on the ground.
Almost as soon as the shield was activated, the muzzle of the machine gun spewed out a terrifying tongue of flame. The bullets came like a storm, tearing the windows and the reinforced concrete walls into pieces with the momentum of crushing dry weeds and smashing them into pieces.
"Wings of Freedom" F-79, NATO F-series close-range attack aircraft.
The concept of close-range attack aircraft was proposed after the sixth-generation fighter and was born after the completion of the basic artificial intelligence database. In the golden age of the development of artificial intelligence, the widespread use of artificial intelligence provided more options for air combat, especially in the form of ground support. In addition to beyond visual range strikes, NATO needed a fighter that could be competent in air combat while also being able to supplement the army's firepower at close range. Therefore, the "Wings of Freedom" came into being.
As a fixed-wing fighter, the F-79 could also switch to hover mode when necessary and participate in close-range firefights with ground forces. With its high mobility and powerful firepower, it redefined the correct use of machine guns.
"Fu * k!"
Gerrard screamed in panic. He didn't expect the aircraft that came to support him would also include him in the attack target, and he leaped to the side. However, he didn't get far before his head slammed into the shield that expanded around him.
The waterfall-like bullets blasted on the Holy Shield and instantly turned into headless flies that scattered in all directions. The compressed air rippled along the surface of the graviton, outlining the arc-shaped trajectory.
Unlike Gerrard, who was shrouded in the shield, his two teammates were not so lucky. The bullets that were deflected by the gravitational bullets scattered in the corridor and instantly tore the two soldiers and their kinetic skeletons into pieces.
Jiang Chen glanced at Gerrard next to him. He didn't dare to hide and immediately ejected the smoke bomb on the power armor.
The grayish white gas filled the entire space inside the shield. Under the cover of the smoke, Jiang Chen took out the Type-57 electromagnetic pulse cannon from the storage dimension and locked onto the fighter outside the shield. He took a deep breath.
Just as he was about to deactivate the shield, a loud explosion suddenly came from outside the shield, and the bullets pouring on the Holy Shield suddenly stopped. As if hit by something, the building shook violently, and even the shield began to fluctuate unstably.
He deactivated the shield, walked to the half-destroyed wall, and looked out the window. The F-79 crashed into the top of the building. The entire fuselage had been torn apart by the machine gun that fell from the sky, and the out-of-control engine was still spewing flames...
Jiang Chen vaguely guessed something and immediately looked up into the sky with a hint of joy in his eyes.
A black silhouette flashed in the air. Almost at the same time, the communication screen connected to the serial number of an allied unit.
"This is Aurora. It's an honor to serve you."
…
When Jiang Chen exchanged fire with Gerrard and the others, AS Order arrived over Hawaii. Two Aurora-20s took off from the deck and cruised over the West Coast. It was at that time that the two planes discovered the F-79 that was crazily firing at the mall building. They decisively opened the safety of the machine gun and fired a barrage of machine guns.
Speaking of this F-79, it was quite unlucky. The technology level was obviously more than one level higher than the Aurora-20s developed after the war. If it was a fair duel in the air, maybe two Aurora-20s together would not be its opponent, even if it did not have any air-to-air missiles.
But there were not so many ifs on the battlefield. The F-79, which switched to hovering mode, was no different from a live target parked on the airport runway for other fighters. The two Aurora-20s easily took it away.
After taking Gerrard back to the colony, Jiang Chen asked someone to take him to the dungeon and locked him in separate rooms with several other soldiers wearing NATO Army kinetic skeletons for individual interrogation.
Perhaps he was stimulated by the two comrades who died under his own machine gun, or perhaps he knew that there was no hope of rescue, the disheartened Gerrard quickly confessed all the information he knew. Including their identity, the whereabouts of the colony, and their base drifting in the Pacific Ocean …
"The cause was that your people found a batch of strategic nuclear warheads on the cargo ship on the West Coast, and these nuclear warheads are what we have been looking for. But in fact, whether there is this fuse or not, we are ready to take action against you. The Congress has long introduced an anti-invasion bill against your outpost on the West Coast, but unfortunately, our Congress has been arguing on the issue of whether to take action so quickly, "Gerrard shrugged and said in a somewhat helpless tone.
"The information you leaked to me through Griss, the military base of the NATO Strategic Missile Force in the Grand Canyon … or nuclear weapons depot, what does it mean?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Because there is indeed a military base of the Strategic Missile Force in the Grand Canyon." Gerrard laughed out loud and no longer hid anything. "However, it is now occupied by a group of Mutants. We thought that since we have to drive you out of North America anyway, it would be better to let you and that group of troublesome guys fight until both sides suffer."
"Where is the nuclear weapons depot?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Nuclear weapons depot? There is no nuclear weapons depot at all. The usable strategic warheads are basically used up, and the unused ones were mostly dismantled in the years after the war. The moon base has completely collapsed, and there is not much usable nuclear fuel. Later, we even considered recycling the nuclear materials of tactical nuclear warheads, but we gave up because it was too difficult, "Gerrard looked at Jiang Chen and said calmly," Can you give me a cigarette? For the sake of what I've said. "
"No problem." Jiang Chen smiled, put a box of cigars and matches on the table, and pushed it to Gerrard. "Why don't you give me a few cigars? We never treat the captives who cooperate with the investigation badly."
Gerrard's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the box of Colombian cigars. He felt his throat was a little dry.
The war had ended twenty years ago, and it was the first time he saw a luxury like cigars. In the years after the outbreak of World War III, living supplies were scarce to the limit, not to mention the nuclear winter after the war and radioactive pollution everywhere.
He had almost forgotten what a cigar tasted like.
There was a hint of struggle in his eyes, but he finally reached out and picked up the box of cigars.
He lit one for himself with a match and felt the spiciness in his throat. He couldn't help but burst into tears. The silence lasted for a long time. After Gerrard silently blew a few smoke rings, he then said to Jiang Chen.
"The thing you are looking for is in the desert outside Las Vegas. The cargo ship stranded at the West Coast port, and the nuclear warheads inside were originally planned to be sent there. I can point out the specific coordinates for you … Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If it weren't for your accidental discovery, we might never have found that thing. "
"What thing?" Jiang Chen asked immediately.
"Weather weapon." Gerrard blew a smoke ring and gently shook the cigar between his fingers. "… Although from the beginning, that thing did not exist as a weapon."
