1085: Chapter 1033: Inescapable Death!

Fanning the Flames!

Whoo whoo whoo~

The shrill scream pierced through the clear sky.

Many people thought it was an air raid and ran out to look around.

They saw an oddly shaped plane diving down at high speed.

If black smoke had been billowing from its tail, it would have looked even more like a plane about to crash.

But before long, the plane stopped diving at high speed, and instead glided diagonally towards the eastern region of Xikelse.

That area was a desert, relatively suitable for an emergency landing.

Inside the bustling city’s security base,

Two light general-purpose helicopters, engines humming, rotors spinning, swiftly took to the sky one after the other.

This type of two-seater helicopter, lightweight and agile, affordable, is a common ‘family aircraft’ in Western countries.

One of those helicopters was piloted by Tang Xiao.

She finally understood why Wu Jie didn’t allow her to take people to the airport for the hijacking.

Wu Jie had arrangements in place all along, probably having sabotaged the plane so that when Hittory and his bodyguards defected and took off, they’d encounter a malfunction and be forced to land…

As for the specific reason, Tang Xiao didn’t have time to think too much about it.

What’s most important right now was to catch them quickly.

The two helicopters took off quickly, and three armored vehicles also moved out swiftly.

Though the capture squad moved fast, they were still slower than drones.

After the security base’s air search radar detected anomalies with Hittory’s amphibious aircraft, it quickly deployed unmanned drones to carry out reconnaissance duties.

The unmanned drones kept sending back photoelectric detection data, allowing the monitoring center and capture squad to observe in real time.

The amphibious aircraft dived diagonally, not slowing down as it crashed into the sand dunes.

The fierce impact bounced the plane up instantly.

After several bounces, the aircraft zigzagged across the desert.

The pontoons on the wings, which allowed the aircraft to take off and land on water, were quickly knocked off during the collisions.

Even the wings broke off soon after, and the destabilized plane skidded for dozens of meters before finally being trapped in the sand, unable to move.

The drone observed the entire process from afar, quickly rising to a higher altitude to scan the surroundings 360 degrees.

It expanded its field of vision to search for any other anomalies, to prevent ambushes against the capture squad upon their arrival.

Then it lowered its altitude to get as close as possible to the downed amphibious aircraft,

To take close-up shots to determine the condition of the plane and its occupants.

The two helicopters approached rapidly, staying about four hundred meters apart.

One helicopter landed a hundred meters away, where Tang Xiao and Zhang Ren formed a two-person assault team, covering each other as they cautiously approached.

The other helicopter circled above, with one person operating the helicopter and another manning the general-purpose machine gun aimed at the plane.

Meanwhile, the ground team consisting of three armored vehicles had just left the bustling city not long ago, and it would take at least another ten to twenty minutes to reach the crash site; thus, the efficiency and convenience of helicopters were best demonstrated at this moment.

Of course.

Tang Xiao, who had eagerly arrived at the scene, still didn’t get the chance to fire a shot.

After alternating cover to enter the cabin, she saw that Hittory and his bodyguard in the pilot seats were completely unconscious.

No shots fired, just direct capture.

After tying up the two unconscious men, gagging them, and confiscating everything that could be taken from the cabin,

It wasn’t long before the ground team arrived.

In order to interrogate Hittory as quickly as possible, Tang Xiao had people bind him to the helicopter seat, with suitcases hanging on the skids on each side.

The pilot flew the helicopter swiftly back to the security base, where Wu Jie had already prepared an interrogation room.

This uneventful capture mission was Tang Xiao’s first activity since coming to Jiazhou Continent.

Seeing her full of energy and vigor, Wu Jie let her interrogate Hittory, while he, accompanied by the invisible Phantom, returned to the monitoring center to stand guard.

Nothing in the world is perfect.

The Aggregated State Combat Robot ‘Phantom’ is no exception; it fears high temperatures.

The higher the temperature, the faster the energy consumption, the shorter the lifespan.

Of course.

Continuous high-intensity work also hastens the depletion of its lifespan.

Therefore, upon returning to the monitoring center, Wu Jie put Phantom in standby mode.

On the other side.

Hittory was fastened to a seat, and the splash of cold water brought him abruptly to his senses.

He and his bodyguard had intended to flee in the plane, but shortly after takeoff, they were ambushed.

It seemed someone had struck him hard at the back of his head, so much so that he was still in pain.

But what was a headache?

His current situation was what was truly worrisome.

He was handcuffed to the seat, unable to move, and not far in front of him sat two men and a woman.

At first glance, all three were no ordinary individuals, brimming with military bearing.

And the exceptionally beautiful Tang Xiao, who caught everyone’s attention, of course, Hittory recognized her.

Wasn’t she Wu Jie’s astonishingly attractive CEO wife, Tang Xiao?

Once, during their honeymoon cruise, leveraging the World Cup match and gambling heavily with the likes of major drug lord Kun Qianxi, they won a great deal.

Therefore, Hittory could not possibly not recognize Tang Xiao; also, he knew that in addition to being a beautiful CEO, she used to be a female War King.

He was even more aware that with himself being caught and tied up, Tang Xiao leading two others meant they were up to something.

Interrogation, after all, involved nothing more than coercion and bribery, harsh torture, administering drugs to induce hallucinations, and such methods.

As for what they wanted…

The couple who didn’t lack money, would they be after money?

Of course, it was the nuclear warheads!

It seems that the two missing teams didn’t resell the nuclear warheads to them!

Upon realizing this, Hittory suddenly found it very strange.

He had lost contact with those two teams and realized the two nuclear warheads were unaccounted for, which indicated a severe situation.
