CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 219: BLIND LANDING

At the same time Chen Jian received the message from Fu Xi, Lei Jie also saw the intelligence report that was transmitted back.

He understood the importance of this intelligence more than anyone else, and without delaying a second, he immediately jumped off the plane that was about to take off and quickly issued new orders.

"Fu Xi, help me find a landing site near the target rendezvous location!"

"Ground crew! Unload all ammunition and supplies, clear out the cargo bay for me!"

"Jiang Yu, get ready!"

"We may need to head to Haozhou, using the remnants of Haozhou’s airport to land."

"The conditions at the target airport are complicated; landing and take-off are both extremely difficult."

"This time we will use a two-plane formation to proceed."

"If I fail to land, you’ll take over!"

"Remember, we must bring the item back with the fastest speed!"

"Is the mission clear?"

"Clear!"

Jiang Yu, who had also jumped off the plane, quickly replied. Immediately, the two ran towards the gate of the 011 base fortification and took the lift quickly to the combat command room.

At this time, Fu Xi had already marked the location of the three Forbidden Army members on the map. Looking at the small, flickering red dot, Lei Jie asked:

"How do we establish contact with them? Do they have radios?"

"They have radios."

Fu Xi’s voice echoed in the command room.

"However, their radio is already damaged, and the signal is quite unstable."

"After receiving their message for the first time, we’ve completed two communications in total."

"Since the last communication until now, we’ve been out of contact with them for 20 minutes."

"I judge that their radio equipment is likely completely broken."

"First send a drone to air-drop communication equipment to them and re-establish contact."

Lei Jie ordered, and Fu Xi immediately responded:

"Attack-17 mission command issued, loading underway, will air-drop PDA equipment to target."

"Estimated completion of air-drop in 15 minutes; if successful, contact can be immediately restored."

"Understood."

Lei Jie nodded slowly and continued:

"Capture close-up images of the equipment and send them to Shen Yue and Jin Zhong."

"They had seen similar monsters in Liangxi City before but did not leave a complete corpse."

"Let them confirm if this monster is similar!"

"Understood, reconnaissance drone deployed."

With Fu Xi’s confirmation, Lei Jie continued to ask:

"Can the surrounding landing site be determined? Where is the nearest landing spot?"

"G36 highway, according to previous reconnaissance balloon images, found a section of relatively flat paved road 1.2 kilometers long, basically meeting the landing and take-off conditions."

"The landing spot is 1.6 kilometers straight-line distance from the target location."

"Set it here, begin action!"

Lei Jie stood up abruptly.

For him, all the necessary preparations had been completed.

Now, his sole task was to pilot the aircraft there, complete the landing, then immediately return after loading the cargo.

Without any hesitation, Lei Jie and Jiang Yu left the command room and headed straight to the airport.

Meanwhile, the preparation work for the two Mosquito Bombers had been completed, and as Lei Jie requested, all ammunition had been unloaded, leaving only an empty cargo bay.

Lei Jie and Jiang Yu each boarded a plane, started the engines, and the loud drone of the propellers immediately filled the air.

"Maintain an altitude of one thousand meters!"

Lei Jie shouted:

"The straight-line distance is only 120 kilometers; we don’t have time for spiral descent maneuvers."

"Quick! It must be fast!"

"Understood!"

Jiang Yu tapped her helmet, indicating she was ready.

A moment later, the bomber moved slowly along the runway and quickly lifted off upon reaching the minimum take-off speed.

Lei Jie’s heart pounded.

He didn’t know what he was going to see, but he knew that if this equipment truly had the ability to control the Beast Tide as the three Forbidden Army members described, then Huaxia Army would gain a heavy bargaining chip in this decisive battle against the Beast Tide!

It was even possible that once the Beast Tide was completely eradicated, humanity could use this equipment to completely end the history of monsters on this land.

Moreover, the truth behind the Beast Tide would also surface.

The enigmatic "mastermind" would finally reveal their identity.

Whether he was from Mountain City or any corner of this world.

Huaxia Army would find him and eliminate him.

The bombers gradually climbed in altitude, and because the altitude did not exceed one thousand meters, they remained within the coverage of the cellular network.

With 40 kilometers left to the destination, Lei Jie received images taken by the reconnaissance drone.

A massive cubic device.

He finally understood why the Forbidden Army chose to hand over the intelligence to the Huaxia Army.

Because such an item obviously was not something the Mechanical God Sect could handle.

They made the right choice.

Lei Jie slightly lowered his flying altitude, searching through the terrain features for the flat segment of highway marked on the map by Fu Xi.

But the weather conditions were really too bad, with smog billowing on the ground, making it impossible for him to see anything.

Blind landing?

That was an operation that could only be performed with electronic equipment support and ground guidance.

The site he needed to land wasn’t even a real airport!

Was there really no choice but to risk diving down?

Lei Jie took a deep breath and then said:

"Jiang Yu, I need to keep lowering the altitude."

"The clouds are too thick on the ground, and the conditions for landing are too poor."

"After I fly over, the smog should be partially dispersed."

"You need to quickly identify the landing site’s position through the fog and then look for a chance to complete the landing!"

"Understood."

Jiang Yu on the other bomber immediately responded.

She didn’t fight the decision, even though she knew that "clearing the fog" was actually more dangerous than directly landing.

But the commander had decided, and she could only comply.

Furthermore, she absolutely could not miss what might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She took a deep breath and said:

"Distance is 11 kilometers, preparing to circle, preparing to land."

Lei Jie subconsciously nodded and then said:

"Prepare to land...."

"I see you!"

Before he finished speaking, a sudden cacophony erupted in the headset.

Then, the voice continued:

"Wait for us a few minutes!"

"We’ve received your message!"

"Fu Xi said we need to guide you to the runway position."

"We’re igniting, wait for us a few minutes."

It’s the Forbidden Army.

Lei Jie’s eyes suddenly lit up.

"Understood, circling in the air, waiting five minutes."

He pulled back on the control stick again, and the plane slowly climbed.

At the instant the wing tilted, he clearly saw a long dragon of fire stretching out on the ground.

The campfire to break the fog had been lit.

The runway had been illuminated.

He took a deep breath and ordered:

"Prepare to land!"
