Chapter 424 Air Raid
"What is that?"
Just as Martai saw the huge black shadow, the others in the base also looked up and looked at the black shadow flying towards him in surprise. Facing this scene, most people were stunned for a moment. After the catastrophe, basically no one was flying like an aircraft. Although the energy network was everywhere, if the high-tech technology such as an aircraft was lost and maintenance, it would not be able to operate well in a few years. Not to mention that so many years have passed, the aircraft has basically become ragged in the wasteland. Therefore, many people were stunned when they suddenly saw such a huge, flying plane.
"Hurry, this is an enemy attack, sound the alarm!!"
However, the people in the ninth district are not fools. At this moment, the base commander who received the report from Martai also hurriedly issued a loud order. Amid his orders, a sharp alarm sounded, and everyone began to be busy...what are they doing?
The soldiers of each of them were all staring at each other. The machine guns they controlled were not air defense, and there were no air defense missiles in the base - or maybe they had them before, but because they had been useless, they might have been removed. There were no one who could fly here, and even if they could fly, they could not fly at the altitude of the plane. Although the plane was not at a height of ten thousand meters, but under the clouds. As for magic... the range of magic is only a few hundred meters. Even if there is magic that ignores the distance, you cannot lock in the plane flying at high speed!
"Report, we were attacked by the enemy, the other side had planes, and we could not stop them..."
"Commander! Look!"
Just as the commander was anxiously contacting the ninth district, suddenly, the adjutant beside him screamed, then raised his hand to point to the sky. Although he was a little annoyed, he interrupted his report, but the commander still raised his head and looked in the direction the adjutant pointed. Then, he frowned.
What is that?
I saw in the sky, several black dots suddenly appeared below the plane, and they were carrying parachutes on them and landed staggeringly downwards. This made everyone puzzled. If you want to say it was a bomb, shouldn't this bomb fall faster? But this parachute... it can't be the enemy who dropped supplies for us.
"What is that?"
At the same time, Martai and others also looked into the air curiously. Using Hawkeye technique, they easily saw that the plane dropped several squares, which looked similar to the Rubik's Cube. They were hung with parachutes on them, swaying and falling down. After the huge plane dropped these Rubik's Cubes that looked like steel, they shook the wings and then left along the way.
Run away? Then run away?
Martai looked at the other party's return in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment. He was very nervous when he saw this plane just now. After all, from the route, the plane must have flew out of the restricted area. Combined with the information they had obtained before, Martai thought that the plane must have come to attack the base. But now, it just threw a few boxes and turned around and ran away?
What's wrong with this?
"Captain? Do we want to go back and have a look?"
Looking at the steel cube that was gradually landing, Beth suggested curiously. But Marty frowned and shook his head. He was born after the catastrophe and had basically never seen the plane with his own eyes. However, after he became the captain, he also ate many military movies and documentaries in order to make up for his military knowledge. He saw how the planes inside were bombarded. At this moment, he looked at the steel cubes that were swaying towards the falling, Marty instinctively felt a little uneasy.
"No, let's stand by here first, I have a bad feeling..."
However, before Martai finished speaking, suddenly, the situation in front of him changed.
The few swaying and falling downward steel cubes suddenly began to decompose. Under the gaze of Martai and others who had performed Hawkeye technique, they could clearly see that the outer layer of the cube began to disintegrate, revealing the structure inside - it was a very strange metal ring line, with electric currents emerging on it, and then...
“—————”
There was no sound, and Martai and the others did not even see the dazzling flash. They only felt the lightning appear in front of them. The next moment, a dense circle of currents dissipated with the steel cubes as the center, but the current flashed away. But for some reason, at this moment, Martai felt that everything was still. There was no sound of wind, and there was no breathing or shouting, as if his ears had lost their function in an instant. He turned around in a daze, but found that the others were also looking at each other with a surprised expression. They opened their mouths, as if they were saying something. But Martai could not hear anything, and it was not until a moment later that the sound gradually emerged.
“…………………………………………”
"You speak... sound... how... how...?"
"What's the matter...my ears......"
"I can't seem to hear... Damn... This is......"
As the sound gradually came back, Martai also heard the anxious roars of everyone. He hurriedly made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet. At this moment, everyone seemed to have gradually reacted. They hurriedly lowered the voice of their speech. They were so panicked before because they found that they suddenly couldn't hear it, but now they could hear it again, so they naturally calmed down.
"What's going on? Captain? What happened?"
"I don't know either."
Facing the inquiry from his team members, Malthai shook his head. He felt that it should have something to do with those strange steel cubes. But even if Malthai wanted to break his head, he didn't understand how the other party did it. But this was not important. The most important thing at the moment was, what was the situation on the base?
"I'll contact the base first to see what the situation is."
While speaking, Martai turned on the system and then quickly sent a message to the base. But...
"No one came back?"
Martai's face changed. He wanted to ask if there was any change in the base or any loss, but he sent the message, but he did not receive a response. This immediately made Martai panic. He hurriedly sent all the messages with his authority, asking anyone in the base to call back immediately as long as he saw his message. But even so, there was still no response.
This is a big trouble!!
Martai sent a message again, this time he almost sent everyone a group message. Soon, someone contacted him immediately.
[This is the headquarters of the Ninth District, calling Martai Squad. What happened to the base? Why is there no contact?]
Finally found the organization!
Seeing someone answered, Martai was so excited that he burst into tears. For a moment, he really thought that the world had been destroyed just now, and that was the only team of people left in the world.
"This is Martai Squad. We are affiliated with the Fifth Special Team of the Base and are currently patrolling outside. We just discovered that an aircraft had attacked the base, and then the base lost contact. We don't know what happened!"
【That's true?】
Facing Martai's answer, the other party seemed a little skeptical. However, Martai could understand. Even he himself was unwilling to admit that under the energy network, even if it was a surprise attack, at least someone should be able to react and leave a message online or something, so that he would not be finished in an instant.
[This is the command center of the Ninth District War Zone, Captain Martai. I ask you to lead your subordinates to return to the base immediately and figure out what is going on there! Stay in touch at any time, don’t interrupt! Repeat and stay in touch at any time! If you feel that you are in danger of your life, you are allowed to retreat immediately. Have you heard it? We will send someone to help you!]
"Yes, I understand, sir!"
Martai also answered immediately. Of course, he knew why the Ninth District was so nervous about their safety. Now they can be said to be the closest person to this place, and only they know what happened here. If they die, it will be all over.
But...how to investigate?
After pausing contact with the ninth district, Martai looked at his companions, and they obviously were unwilling to go back to the base. But soon, Martai thought of a solution.
"Beth, use the Eye of the Wizard to see what happened there."
"Okay, captain."
Hearing Martai's order, Beth nodded seriously, then she raised her hands and chanted the spell silently. After a while, a small ball of light appeared from Beth's hand, and Beth pushed forward with both hands, and the ball of light flew forward. In front of everyone, a picture gradually emerged in the void.
"It's still convenient for magic."
Looking at the scene in front of him, a young man couldn't help but sigh. The others also nodded. In the past, they had to go to the investigation themselves. But now that they have learned magic, they don't have to take risks in person.
The speed of the Eye of the Mage is not very fast, just a little faster than a human jogging, which made them feel anxious. Fortunately, although the Eye of the Mage is fragile, as long as it is not attacked, they can run around the world. Therefore, they are not worried about losing control. Beth is also a smart child. She fixed the Eye of the Mage in the air, looked down, and slowly moved forward. After a long time, the shadow of the base finally appeared in front of everyone.
After seeing everything in front of you, everyone, including Martai, was shocked!
