The Federation's latest and most advanced armed helicopter, code-named "Albatross", is the carrier-based aircraft of the New Element, the flagship of the Southeast Asian Navy's Second Fleet. There are twelve in total, and they were used in the battle to pursue Bein.
The Albatross' high-precision cannon attacks once put great pressure on Bein, but unfortunately, the one on the Hurricane's apron is the only one left in the Second Fleet. The appearance of Kraken was very sudden, and the Second Fleet suffered huge losses before it had time to respond. Only one of the twelve Albatross took off in time to escape, and the rest were fixed on the New Element and buried with it.
The flying vehicles of this era are quite futuristic, and the Albatross is no exception: it looks like an oversized DJI drone, with four turbofan engines providing powerful climbing power; it is also equipped with a steering jet at the tail The engine, maneuverability and vertical take-off and landing capabilities are far superior to those of the previous generation.
The Renaissance organization chose the Albatross as the transport aircraft for the rescue team. The reason is very simple: this kind of aircraft can run, can fight better, and has a large internal space, but it is still slightly insufficient at the moment. In the cabin, in addition to the two helicopter pilots, there were five members of the rescue team, and there was a rubber lifeboat in the middle that could accommodate about ten people.
"The plane is a bit crowded, let's get over it." Xia Yan turned around awkwardly: "To save time, the rubber boat is inflated on the plane and can be put into the water directly when it arrives at the reserved location."
"You are really good at organizing time cards." Yun Ming was busy taking out the equipment issued by the Renaissance Organization one by one from his diving suit pocket, checking it before putting it back. He has done this series of actions several times, but Yun Ming thinks that no more times are too many. "Speaking of the rescue plan on the plane saves a few words."
Zhong Yi looked away from the window. At this time, the world was still lonely and dark, and nothing could be seen; the huge Kraken was hidden under the water of Manila Bay and had not emerged. Even though Zhong Yi had excellent eyesight, he found nothing. He gave up observation and joined the conversation: "Who among the people trapped in Xumizuo is worthy of the revival organization's efforts? Your boss's own son?"
"That's not true. In a sense, her status is much higher than the second generation of the organization. Hmm... maybe we can call her... the Holy Son?"
Xia Yan was chatting in Chinese. Yun Ming and others couldn't hear the difference between "she" and "him", so they just assumed that the Holy Son in Xia Yan's mouth was male.
Jiang Yao was playing with her new weapon - a harpoon. The Renaissance Organization provided a large amount of sophisticated equipment to the rescue team. Jiang Yao was used to using her own three-edged military spurs, and at first she refused to switch from shotguns to cannons, but after trying them out, she became really comfortable with them.
She waved the cold knife into an elegant blade and reluctantly put it back into the scabbard on her waist. She was obviously very satisfied with the weapon. "What material is this whaling harpoon made of? It's too sharp. My three-edged spurs are made from alien alloys that were removed from key parts of the alien spacecraft and re-forged. This thing is actually stronger than its armor-piercing power. . It seems that the Renaissance Organization has more advanced materials knowledge and metallurgical technology than the Federation."
"If Miss Jiang likes it, after the matter is completed, I can guarantee that you will connect with the members of the logistics department of our organization and let them tailor-make such a cold weapon for you." Xia Yan behaved very generously: "The best weapon recognized by the Federation The hard metal is the alien alloy Oriha Gang, and the secret material possessed by the Renaissance organization is even better than Oriha Gang. In fact, only the "blacksmith" in the entire organization has the means to process that material .”
"Blacksmith? Code name, what's your real name?" Zhong Yi became interested.
Xia Yan couldn't answer this question: "I don't know, I really don't know. The blacksmiths who make special weapons and the tailors who make dimensional space luggage are all under the Logistics Department of the Renaissance Organization. This department is led by Raphael, one of the Renaissance Tridents. , the identities of all department members are confidential, and I cannot view them even with my authority."
"You Fuxing really have all kinds of talents." Jiang Yao said with emotion: "This dimensional space bag is so convenient, you can put everything in it."
"Actually, not everything can be packed, such as objects that are much larger than the opening of the luggage, or living animals."
"Well, I can see the latter point," Yun Ming pointed at Pedro: "It's so heavy to hold a fish tank."
With his free hands, Pedro held a special fish tank the size of a gasoline barrel in his arms. Putting such a large fish tank on his lap made it taller than him sitting there. Yun Ming and Zhong Yi, who were sitting opposite it, couldn't even see Pedro's figure as it was completely blocked by the fish tank. It wasn't that Pedro didn't want to put this thing on the ground, but there was really no room to put it in the cabin.
"There is no way." Pedro's voice sounded from behind the fish tank: "The deterrent power of Kraken is too strong, and it is the instinct of living things to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. With Kraken as the center of the circle, all marine animals within a radius of 20 to 30 miles have escaped. It’s all gone, most of Manila Bay is empty.”
"The tuna in the fish tank were caught by me from the kitchen sink of the Hurricane, and they happened to be controlled by me as scouts. I can feel that they are afraid, and their fear of Kraken makes them continue to defy my will. I must Distracted from focusing on controlling them, my ability to control animals has dropped to the bottom due to the presence of Kraken, and I really can't increase the number of scouts."
Zhong Yi's face became more solemn after hearing this: "What a bad news. It's not sunrise yet, there is no sunshine; in order not to disturb Kraken, we cannot use artificial light sources on the seabed, and the tuna angle of view is not enough. In this situation, we Dive into the deep sea about 200 meters below the water and you are no different than a blind man.”
"It doesn't matter, we still have Arnold." Xia Yan comforted: "There are ten Cyborg warriors, all arranged around Kraken, and their vision can be connected to our diving sealed helmet. To take a step back, Da This helmet designed by Mr. Fincher has complex and comprehensive functions. With its built-in night vision and thermal imaging system, we will not be blinded in the sea."
This diving helmet looks like it was prepared for astronauts. It is large and thick. There are buckles at the neck of the diving suit. The helmet can form an airtight whole with the diving suit. No inch of the diver's skin will come into contact with the sea water. By plugging the tube at the back of the head into the air tank on the back, this set of equipment can sustain underwater activities for seven to eight hours.
While talking, the albatross had arrived at the reserved location and was hovering in the air more than one meter above the sea. It can't move any further, and the loud noise caused by the spinning propellers may trigger the lashing of the tentacles. Everyone took action: Xia Yan and Zhong Yi put the inflated rubber boat down into the helicopter; Pedro opened the lid of the fish tank and released the former food, now the scout tuna; Yun Ming and Jiang Yaoti carried weapons and sundries and jumped out. Get on the rubber boat.
In terms of weapons, the firepower brought by the rescue team was meager. All they had on the table was an RPG equipped with eight anti-tank rockets. This is the only hot weapon in the team. After all, against a super giant monster like Kraken, a rocket launcher attack can only be considered better than nothing. Weapons such as rifles and machine guns are purely useless and take up space, so it is better not to bring them.
In terms of cold weapons, the five of them carried very few weapons. Each of them only had an ordinary tactical knife, which was mainly used to cut thin steel pipes or cables. Before the operation started, Yun Ming returned the famous antique sword, Aoimon Echizen Yasatsugu, that was given to him by Pushayashi during the defense battle of the Ninth Division, to its original owner. Firstly, the Kodachi was inconvenient to use in the sea, and secondly, it was Pushayashi's own. The saber was left behind in the Ninth Division, and now there is no usual weapon on hand.
The rescue team strictly adhered to the action policy of "Don't shoot, enter the village quietly". The diesel engine on the rubber boat was discarded and relied on human power to paddle forward. This task was naturally handed over to Zhong Yi, who has excellent physical strength and endurance. . I saw Zhong Yi rocking the double oars and the oars chopping the waves. It made people think that Zhong Yi was from the dragon boat team.
"Control room, can you hear me? We are about to approach the target and prepare to launch." Xia Yan put on his helmet and used the internal headset to contact the Hurricane.
"Received, the communication situation is good and normal." The voice from the other end of the Hurricane was actually Xu Xi's voice: "I will transfer all communication routes to the public channel, rescue team, now you can communicate with the trapped recovery team ”
"What happened?" Hearing a familiar voice, Jiang Yao was puzzled: "Have you suddenly become the operational commander of the Fuxing Organization?"
Yun Ming answered her first on the public channel: "There is nothing surprising. The effect of Xu Xi's supernatural strategy is to divine fortune and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. It is most suitable for her to be the commander."
"Yes, this was probably the idea of the Renaissance organization from the beginning. That's why they selected you, Jiang Yao, into the rescue team. They were worried that I would cause trouble." Xu Xi saw clearly, and she was not afraid of these words being criticized by the Renaissance. hear.
"呲呲呲——Zila————呲呲"
After a burst of heart-wrenching noise, a strange male voice sounded on the public frequency: "Senior Xia Yan?"
"It's me. Diego, are you okay? How are they doing?"
"Zila - kaka - seniors, don't worry, as reported before, we are safe at the moment - zi zi zi - Kraken has not continued to attack Xumizuo - 呲呲 -."
"But Senior Galicia - Zizi - has been activating his powers non-stop for more than three hours. He might - hiss, hiss - be unable to hold on at any time - Xi Xi."
Diego left the line after leaving these words. Although the Renaissance Organization's information engineering technology was first-rate, it still could not completely eliminate the negative impact of the poor communication environment.
"Everyone, we have to hurry up." Xia Yan urged everyone to check the equipment one last time: "Yun Ming, Zhong Yi, Jiang Yao, come into the water with me. I will use my powers to clear the way later, Zhong Yi and Jiang Yao, you Just protect Yun Ming, one on the left and the other on the right. The underwater environment is complicated and full of sunken ships and ruins, Yun Ming, and your air flash can just ignore those obstacles and successfully enter the Xumizuo. You are responsible for picking up the trapped people. Ped Luo, you stay on the rubber boat to control the tuna and provide us with support. Don’t worry, we will rescue everyone including your brother.”
Xia Yan and Zhong Yi jumped into the water one after another. They didn't realize that Yun Ming, the key figure in the rescue team, didn't follow them down.
"Why are you standing there? Jump." Jiang Yao urged when she saw Yun Ming didn't move.
"I can not swim."
"What?"
Not only Jiang Yao was dumbfounded, Yun Ming's words reached everyone's ears through the public channel.
Jiang Yao grabbed Yun Ming's shoulders and shook her violently: "You, a former mercenary, told me that you can't swim?"
"Really not... I only take land orders, and the maritime business has not been opened yet..." Yun Ming slowly squatted down on the side of the ship, preparing to climb over the wall and enter the water: "Okay, I won’t lose my chain. It doesn’t matter whether I can swim or not with such great diving equipment. Let me get used to the water temperature first... Oops!”
Unable to bear it, Jiang Yao raised her long leg and kicked Yun Ming down, who was still talking.
