Chapter 023 Human-Machine Combination

They flew out of the battleship and rushed above and below the battleship to share the firepower for the machine gun team.

This is not over yet. One by one, individual soldiers flew out of the hatch and stood on the deck of the battleship to make the final check and fill in the gaps.

When the troops were deployed, the engine room turret in front of them was unlocked, but its attack range was also limited, and it could only attack the area directly in front of it.

This is a restriction set up to prevent attacks on one's own people. As for the missed targets, they can only be left to the silver-wing guards on the battleship deck.

Due to this delay, the flying wild beast in the distance got closer to the warship.

If it was the size of a sesame seed before, it is now the size of a billiard ball.

The picture is also clearer.

Most of them were giant two-headed bats with a body length of more than five or six meters. They opened their mouths and roared silently, and visible air ripples crashed towards the warships.

In addition, there are also some single-tailed flying dragons among them, which are larger in size, at least more than ten meters.

Their long bodies are covered in red bone armor, their heads are hideous and terrifying, and their tails are long and thin with a hook at the end.

There are six slender arms at the front of the body, with thick wing membranes between the arms. As they flap, they fly at an extremely high speed.

At the end of the flying wild beast, a huge mushroom-like creature was suspended in the air.

It has a green umbrella-like canopy on its head, and below it is a long white column with many white tentacles growing on it.

And at the very bottom, there are numerous tangled roots, like marshmallows, supporting all its weight.

From time to time, single-tailed flying dragons emerged from the umbrella cap on its head, the holes in its shaft, and the gaps between its roots, and then joined the army of wild beasts in front of it.

"Is this the mother of the wild beast?" Luo Xiu and Douya both exclaimed in surprise.

From the knowledge I have learned recently, after these mothers obtain enough food, they can release more wild beasts and become a weapon of war that can be mass-produced indefinitely.

"We must kill it, otherwise, these flying beasts will never end."

Douya was also aware of the threat posed by the opponent and was about to step forward to operate the cabin gun himself, but when he saw that Luo Xiu was more skilled in the operation, he couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Forget it, as long as Luo Xiu can kill more wild beasts, it doesn’t matter if I am locked up for another three years.

The hands that were originally stretched out towards Luo Xiu were also slowly retracted by Douya.

At this moment, a small spider appeared on the top of the seat, right next to the back of Luo Xiu's head.

Douya was suddenly startled, and without thinking, he shouted, "Be careful."

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind in his ears. Luo Xiu was startled and quickly lowered his head. The strange spider flew over Luo Xiu's head and landed on the operating platform.

"Ah, die, die."

Douya panicked and pulled out his pistol and shot at the strange spider.

The strange spider was naturally beaten to pieces, but the control panel was also scrapped at the same time.

Well, there is no way to earn merit points anymore.

The engine room turret was destroyed, and the machine gun naturally became silent and unable to fire, and would be unable to support an entire air defense area.

"F-5670 engine room gun room, why don't you fire your guns?"

Soon, the information officer from headquarters sent an inquiry.

Douya smiled bitterly and said , " We encountered a small spider beast. During the fierce battle, the operating table was damaged."

"Understood. Please go to room F-2345 immediately. The engine room artillery there has just been killed by a small wild beast. Please be careful."

After the information officer finished speaking, he hung up.

Now that everyone is fighting, the information officers are also working at full capacity and speaking very quickly.

"Luo Xiu, let's go to the next place." Douya said with a bitter face.

Originally the engine room artillery was fully staffed, but now there are vacancies. This shows how serious the change in the current battle situation is.

Luo Xiu also stood up with regret. He just felt that he was doing well. In just this short while of running, he could have killed a few more wild beasts.

At this moment, the information officer's prompt tone sounded on his personal terminal.

"No. J-34569 ... Luo Xiu ... "

A scream was heard from inside. Luo Xiu listened to the voice and realized it was Xiuying. He didn't expect that she had already come out of the confinement room.

Luo Xiu thought about it and realized that there was a shortage of people everywhere, so it was only natural for Xiuying to be released.

"Xiuying, are you okay?" Luo Xiu smiled when he suddenly heard her voice. He didn't expect that they would communicate under such circumstances.

"No, it's okay." Xiuying was silent for a second, and suddenly choked with tears , " No. J-34569, please, please go to the Silver Wing Guards, report ... "

After saying this, the call was disconnected.

Luo Xiu, who was originally smiling, blinked.

"Reporting to the Silver Wing Guards? Am I joining the elite unit?"

With excitement on his face, Luo Xiu greeted Douya and ran out in a hurry.

On the way, people followed Luo Xiu to the same destination from time to time, which made Luo Xiu confused.

Did they also report to the Silver Wing Guard?

Soon, everyone came to a hall where a silver-winged guard was waiting for them.

In front of him, there were many special equipments.

When there were about 50 people, the silver-winged guard in front of them clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

Pointing to the equipment in front of him, he introduced , " This is a single-person aircraft. You will put it on now and learn how to use it in a short time."

"Next, you need to go to the deck and destroy the wild beasts that have broken through the defense circle. This aircraft is your most important means of survival."

Everyone who came over was shocked.

Even Luo Xiu felt a chill in his heart. They were being drafted and forced out to be cannon fodder.

For people like them who are given the task of taking on a double-edged sword in times of crisis, the mortality rate is naturally the highest.

Now might be the most critical moment for the Tianyun. Even if they don't go, the Tianyun will be severely damaged and everyone present will die.

But compared to this, hiding in a warship is more reassuring.

"I won't go outside. If I go outside, I'll be in danger of death. Put me in solitary confinement, put me in solitary confinement ... "

One person collapsed on the spot. He was probably a new recruit who was not ready to face a more brutal battlefield.

Two Silver Wing Guards came in and dragged the new recruit outside.

This makes some people quite excited, even solitary confinement is better than death.

Just when someone wanted to follow suit, gunshots suddenly rang out outside the door.

Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with fear.

I only heard the Silver Wing Guard instructor in front of me explain:

"Don't have any illusions. You will either be a martyr or a corpse."

"Although it's all the same, as a martyr your name will be passed down through the ages."

With no way to retreat, everyone could only helplessly pick up the aircraft on the ground.

The aircraft consists of two half-meter-long jets and a square energy tank.

The energy tank is located in the center of the jet, and the three are hung around the waist of the human body. They are controlled by the waist and legs to perform forward and backward movements.

The Silver Wing Guard instructor saw that everyone had put on their gear and then explained the key points.

It took no more than ten minutes.

Then, he pressed a button beside him, and the ceiling above everyone's heads opened, revealing the blue sky and white clouds, as well as fleeting glimpses of fighter planes and wild beasts.

Before everyone could react, except for the Silver Wing Guard instructor, everyone else was instantly blown away by the air pressure.

Then, the ceiling closed, and the Silver Wing instructor stood there, waiting for the next batch of soldiers to arrive.

In the sky.

Everywhere there were the roars of wild beasts, the roars of fighter planes, and the sounds of various guns and artillery.

The people who had just learned how to fly had no time to adapt before the dazzling battle situation before them made them dizzy.

Some of them failed to control the vehicle properly and flew upwards, crashing into a group of wild beasts.

Some were cut in half by passing fighter planes.

Others suddenly accelerated and crashed straight into the deck of the battleship, ending up like the aircraft, shattered into pieces.

The rest tried to maintain their bodies and slowly fell to the deck.

They had to go fast because the Tianyun was still accelerating. The inertia brought by the Tianyun would quickly dissipate. If they didn't land on the deck quickly, they would be left behind by the Tianyun, and the consequences would be disastrous.

With the profession of a flying wing soldier, Luo Xiu was able to adapt to the operation of the aircraft more quickly. With a dive of his body, he flew downwards at an extremely fast speed, grabbed the arms of two people in the middle, and landed on the deck together.

Then the jets on the aircraft began to impact in the opposite direction, allowing the soldiers to stick tightly to the battleship's armor and not be easily blown away by the surrounding strong winds.

At the same time, all the real Silver Wing Guards around flew up, dragged the recruits onto the deck, and helped them stabilize their bodies.

This is their only help. From now on, we can only rely on ourselves.

After calming himself down, Luo Xiu began to check the battle situation around him. Many machine guns had misfired due to the problems with the strange spider, and fighter planes in the sky were also hit by the sound waves of the two-headed black bats and crashed.

The two-headed black bats are the most numerous, but they are not the main force. The most terrifying are the groups of single-tailed flying dragons.

Judging from the appearance of its head, it is obvious that it is not a modified beast like the two-headed black bat, but a creature from alien space.

They are more brutal and cunning.

Not only can they fight in close combat, but they can also spit out several green blister fungi at a time, as fast as a cannonball.

After hitting the deck, it will quickly explode into a circle of green gas. This gas is highly decomposable. People will turn into dry bones in an instant, and steel will become rusty and brittle at the touch.

At the same time, the sound waves of the two-headed black bat are also very deadly. Although they do not harm steel, they can cause huge damage to the electrical equipment and personnel inside.

Fortunately, its range is not too far, only a hundred meters or so. Most of the time, they serve as shields for the single-tailed flying dragon.

That's right, those single-tailed flying dragons were right behind the two-headed black bats, driving them to act as their shields, and they were spitting fungus bombs from behind.

As long as the shields are insufficient, they will not come up, but as long as a fighter plane breaks through to the opposite side, they will rush forward, tear the fighter plane apart and devour the pilot.

"Be careful, the two-headed black bat is coming."

Just when Luo Xiu was distracted, a soldier's cry of surprise came from the side.

Then there was the sound of assault rifle fire.

Those light bombs crisscrossed in the sky, forming several interception chains.

But the flying wild beasts in the sky are not comparable to the wild beasts on the ground, that is, their flying speed is really too fast.

They avoided the ammunition chain fire with a few rolls in the air, and it was no big deal if they were hit occasionally. They were huge in size, with thick skin and flesh, and a small hole in their body would not affect their flight.

When the distance was close to a hundred meters, their two heads opened their mouths at the same time, and visible air waves shot directly towards the battleship's armor.

Several Silver Wing recruits were hit on the spot. They suddenly fell on the deck with blood coming out of all their orifices. Finally, they were blown away and floated into the group of wild beasts.

The result speaks for itself.

Luo Xiu reacted quickly, rolled over immediately, started the aircraft and flew to the side to avoid it.

At the same time, he raised the sniper rifle in his hand and fired several shots at its head.

The body surface of the two-headed black bat has not been modified much and is still covered with fur. This may be to allow them to fly higher and farther, so there are no changes in defense.

But this also makes their defenses vulnerable.

Several small holes appeared on the head of the two-headed black bat that was hit. One head was dead, but the other head made a miserable cry.

I don’t know whether he was wailing for his brother or for his partner.

It quickly looked at Luo Xiu, opened its mouth wide, and transparent ripples attacked Luo Xiu again. Luo Xiu immediately flew up and dodged again, while at the same time, shooting at it repeatedly with the muzzle of the gun.

Until its second head also drooped.

Just when Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, a fighter plane suddenly flew over from the side at a low altitude.

Seeing that a collision was imminent, Luo Xiu hurriedly continued to fly forward, but in terms of speed, the personal aircraft was no match for the fighter plane.

Soon caught up, Luo Xiu immediately reached out and grabbed one of the legs of the fighter plane, holding it tightly, and flew into the sky with the fighter plane.

It is impossible to come down now. With the speed of a single-person aircraft, Luo Xiu cannot catch up with the Tianyun battleship.

"Hey, man, can you take me back?"

As a last resort, Luo Xiu climbed up the cockpit cover along the connection between the limbs and knocked gently.

It turned out to be an acquaintance.

Seeing him looking over, Luo Xiu waved and said with a smile , " Director Feng Yu, it's me, Luo Xiu. Can you help me take it back?"

Feng Yu had a poker face and pointed behind him, "Talk to them. As long as they nod, I will send you back."

Luo Xiu turned his head and saw four two-headed black bats chasing the sickle fighter.

Sound waves attacked the fighter planes, but because of the long distance, their lethality was not very strong.

"No problem, leave it to me." Luo Xiu gestured to him, then hooked his legs on the bracket and accurately killed the two-headed bat behind him.

The first black bat's head exploded, affecting its movement. It happened to collide with another one next to it, and then another bullet damaged another one.

Both sides were in a panic and were fighting each other. In the chaos, they bumped into a third one. They lost their ability to fly and crashed into the deck of the battleship, and were instantly turned into meat paste.

The fourth one wanted to struggle for a while, but four bullets made it follow in the footsteps of its predecessor.

Without any worries, the Blade fighter piloted by Feng Yu suddenly became powerful, chasing the two-headed black bat in the sky and shooting continuously.

The machine gun on the bracket is much more powerful than the sniper rifle in Luo Xiu's hand. There is no need to worry too much about aiming. The two-headed black bat's wings will either be torn apart or its body will explode.

As the two sides combined, the Blade Fighter's offensive instantly became fierce.

Bridge.

The radar officer reported the situation to the captain , " Captain, the encirclement of the wild beasts has been stopped. Should we speed up and leave the battlefield again?"

These words shocked all the crew members present, which meant that most of the fighter planes would be abandoned.

The captain was silent for a moment, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He stopped tapping his fingers after a long while and ordered , " Let the Silver Wing Guards and Knights come back, and let the fighter formation continue to block the wild beasts."

"Tianyun, one minute later, continue to accelerate."

The order was clear: the captain was to abandon all fighter formations.

The radar commander said dully, "Yes."

When he passed by Xiuying's location, Xiuying breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly contacted Luo Xiu, but her voice was full of anxiety.

"Luo Xiu, come back quickly, back to the battleship."

As long as I can get back to the battleship, there is still hope of survival.

The communication immediately rang, which made Xiuying feel relieved immediately, because it meant that Luo Xiu was still alive.

But the next second, her expression changed.

"Not now. I'm on the Blade Fighter and can't go back."

It was like a bolt from the blue, and Xiuying's face turned pale.

At this moment, everyone exclaimed in surprise. On the big screen in front of the battleship, they saw a blade fighter chasing a dozen two-headed black bats, and behind it there were more than twenty two-headed black bats chasing it.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, the fighter plane would definitely be blown up, but what happened next surprised everyone.

The Blade Fighter did not make any evasive moves, but just chased the two-headed black bat and shot.

And behind it, the pursuing two-headed black bats were falling one by one inexplicably.

The sharp-eyed crew member pointed at the figure on the fighter plane and shouted , " Look, there is a Silver Wing Guard over there. He is the one killing those wild beasts."

Everyone looked over quickly and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"It can actually be manipulated like this, this is great."

Generally speaking, once a Blade fighter is rear-ended, it can only seek help from other fighters or artillery support from battleships.

This will invisibly bring more burden to others and reduce their own efficiency in killing the enemy. If they are not careful, they themselves will die.

But the combination that appeared at this time broke their conventional understanding, which invisibly made the Blade Fighter's attack more fierce, and it was not afraid of being rear-ended.

Just one combination can fight against more than thirty two-headed black bats, leaving them helpless.

The radar commander's eyes lit up, and he quickly came over to offer his opinion, "Captain, why don't we have the others form a similar formation as well? With our 200 fighters, we can definitely contain the other side's 6,000 wild beasts."

"With the support of our engine room guns, we can still fight this battle."

Compared to the radar officer's excitement, the captain remained calm.

Although the combination of Luo Xiu and Feng Yu was quite amazing, the captain still saw the drawbacks.

He politely rejected the proposal. "This combination is not replicable. The fighter pilot's control ability is excellent. He never allowed himself to be besieged from both sides."

"The person cooperating with him should be a jungle hunter, using a sniper rifle. However, using a sniper rifle to hit a wild beast in such a chaotic air battle requires a shooting skill that is not something that ordinary people can achieve."

"Besides, he is sitting outside the fighter plane, and the wind pressure he is bearing is not something that ordinary people can bear. If you really send other Silver Wing Guards up there, they may not even be able to stand steadily, let alone shoot."
