Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 944 Emergency landing

The transport plane began to decelerate, and when the deceleration reached a certain level, the anti-gravity device installed inside the fuselage would activate, stabilizing the fuselage in mid-air——compared with the crystallization engine, the anti-gravity device produced much less noise and Harder to be detected by detection devices.

But at the moment when the transport plane stopped in the air, a thin spike pierced through the cabin without warning, piercing a mercenary and the soldiers of the spear squad sitting opposite him. Feeling cold.

"We've been spotted!" The spear team leader shouted immediately, picked up the assault rifle hanging on his chest, turned his head and shouted in the direction of the cockpit, "Quickly open the cabin and let us go down!"

"No, the current height is 600 meters. If all the downhill cables are released, the length is only 150 meters. The remaining 400 meters are enough to smash people into meat!" The driver responded loudly, "I have to rely on the anti-gravity device Come and quickly lower the altitude of the plane so that you can go down!"

"We were discovered the moment the anti-gravity device was turned on!" Soap also yelled, "This thing will kill us! Turn it off, and then we'll go down to a farther location!"

"Anyway, it's been exposed, so what's the difference if it's turned off or not? The plane is already in a hovering state. If you want to leave this place, you have to restart the engine. Do you think we can escape?" the captain of the spear team yelled at Soap .

"I'm going to make an emergency landing!" The pilot gripped the joystick tightly, his eyes fixed on the console, "The airframe has been damaged, except for the engine room, the two crystallization engines have also been penetrated, and we have lost power .”

Fortunately, the crystallization engine had been turned off during the gliding phase, otherwise the exploding engine alone would have been enough to disintegrate the entire transport plane in the air.

"At this altitude, is there time for a forced landing?" Soap asked anxiously, "If the enemy's next target is the anti-gravity device, we will be thrown to death!"

Generally speaking, planes make emergency landings by taxiing to make a forced landing, but now this "Amran-class" transport plane is completely hovering in mid-air like a helicopter, and the propellers at the ends of the wings on both sides are all closed. After stopping the rotation, relying entirely on the reverse thrust of the anti-gravity device and the two compressed air nozzles at the bottom, if the anti-gravity device is destroyed, the reverse thrust of the compressed air injection alone will not be able to support the weight of the transport aircraft itself. It fell vertically from the air and hit the ground heavily.

"I think it's better to skydive!" The giraffe also said aside, "The target of the transport plane is too big, we will stay here to wait for death! When the anti-gravity device is destroyed, there will be no chance to skydive!"

"You can't parachute!" The opinion of the captain of the spear team is completely opposite to that of the giraffes. "The enemy's accuracy is very high. Being able to accurately hit the two crystallization engines at this distance can explain the problem. The speed of the parachute is too slow. The air is a living target, we can only make a forced landing!"

But when the two groups of people were arguing, the pilot of the plane had already started the emergency landing operation. Although he was also very nervous, and the hair on his forehead and back were already wet with sweat, his hands were unusually stable. Carefully adjust the balance of the fuselage with the joystick, while the other hand is constantly reducing the air output of the reverse thrust nozzle and the power of the anti-gravity device, allowing the transport plane to descend vertically.

The altitude was decreasing, but the cabin also began to shake violently, and two more spikes pierced through the cabin. One spike nailed a relic hunter of the "Snap Turtle Hunting Group" to the seat, and the other spike It amputated the right leg of a soldier.

Fortunately in misfortune, the anti-gravity device of the transport plane was not hit.

"550 meters, 500 meters... If any of you want to skydive, hurry up!" The pilot shouted without looking back, "If you don't jump, I will activate the energy shield!"

This is a "high-end" Amran-class transport aircraft equipped with a shield generator, but the energy shield has both advantages and disadvantages. Once it is turned on, the transport aircraft in the dark night sky will become like the most dazzling star in the sky. Like the stars, they are simply actively asking the enemy to focus on themselves.

The pilot is betting that he can land the transport plane on the ground before the shield is broken - he doesn't care if there is a skydive or not. From a certain point of view, if someone really jumps out of the cabin at this time, it can just help the transport plane The firepower increased the chances of survival for those who stayed on the plane.

"It's time to activate the shield!" Soap gritted his teeth and said, because of the violent shaking of the fuselage, everyone had to tie themselves tightly to the seat with seat belts, unable to move.The feeling of a spike coming in from behind and piercing through one's body without knowing when it will make people crazy, and the wailing of the wounded soldier pushed the tense atmosphere a few levels higher.

The hot blood shot out from the main artery of the broken leg splashed almost everyone in the cabin, Soap looked down at the smart watch on his wrist, the number on the dial representing the real-time heart rate had soared to [-] ——You must know that even when he usually conducts high-intensity training, his heart rate rarely reaches this value.

With the assistance of several subordinates, the captain of the spear team barely managed to stop the bleeding of the injured soldier, but in just a few seconds, the blood lost had reached a fatal amount, and the soldier's face was as pale as paper. Pale, moaning and breathing sound also began to become weaker and weaker.

The transport plane did not carry plasma, and the hemostatic agent and stimulant were already powerless at this time. The captain of the spear team sighed, drew out his pistol, and pulled the trigger on the injured subordinate.

In this mission, they simply couldn't afford to carry a seriously injured person who was incapacitated. Even if they could revive the wounded person, they could only discard him on the transport plane and wait to die.

There is no base or transfer station nearby that can provide medical assistance, and the ark three kilometers away has been captured by unknown creatures—at least the external structure has been captured, even if they can lead the wounded through the captured area, find the medical cabin, and Without blood plasma, the wounded man would not be able to persist until then.

What Soap and Giraffe didn't know was that the wounded man who was personally killed by the captain of the spear team was actually one of his most valued subordinates of the spear team.

This soldier was selected by the captain of the spear team when he came out of the new barracks. He has been trained all the way to the present. The captain of the spear team even decided to recommend him to take over the position of captain after he retires. But now, a spear penetrating the engine room , but it brought the soldier's life to an end here.

"Can you start the crystallization engine?" At this moment, the "clown" who had been silent all this time suddenly asked the driver.

"The crystallization engine has been damaged. Forcing it to start is equivalent to detonating two crystal energy bombs. Do you want us to be blown to death?" The captain of the team took over the conversation.

The height of the transport plane is still descending, but the speed of descent has slowed down—in order to avoid those spears and prevent the plane from being locked, the pilot had to use jet gas to keep the plane moving irregularly, but in this way, wanting to make the plane move It will become more difficult for the aircraft to maintain a stable state. If they accidentally lose their balance, the only thing waiting for them is a crash.

"No, I mean, at the moment of restarting the crystallization engine, open the safety lock and throw the engine out-the Amran-class transport aircraft is a piece of equipment developed under the concept of modular design, for the convenience of preparation and To avoid explosion accidents caused by engine failure, the engines at the end of the wings can be quickly removed." "Joker" explained to everyone in the cabin with a very fast speech speed, "and the enemy obviously relies on energy reactions to lock the target , The two damaged engines that exploded are much more conspicuous than the anti-gravity device, and they can definitely help us attract a lot of firepower."

The captain of the Spear Squad was stunned. Although this manipulation sounds crazy, if you think about it carefully, it can indeed greatly increase the chance of a successful forced landing.

"Okay! But I need someone to help me time the engine to fire and throw!" said the driver.

"I'll do it." The "clown" who made this suggestion unfastened his seat belt, put his body against the inner wall of the cabin, and moved towards the cockpit step by step.

At this time, the pilot of the transport plane also cooperated very well to stabilize the plane, so that the "Joker" could enter the cockpit smoothly. As for the price of doing so, the energy shield suffered several spike attacks. The saturation of the shield suddenly became precarious.

The "Joker" seemed to have been in contact with an Amran-class transport aircraft before. Before the pilot could tell him where the switches for controlling the ignition of the engine and throwing the engine were, he had already put his hands on the corresponding buttons on the console.

"It seems that you should have piloted this kind of transport plane." The pilot glanced at the "clown" out of the corner of his eye in his busy schedule, "I won't say more, the life of this plane is in your hands." It's right... I haven't tried the kind of manipulation you mentioned, so I can't give you any advice. Give me a signal when you are ready, and I will cooperate with you."

"Anytime." "Joker" nodded and said.

"There is a two-second delay for the engine to re-ignite. I will count down to five seconds. When the count reaches zero, I will control the fuselage to rotate. At the moment of the rotation, you open the lock and disconnect all connections. Use the inertia to throw the two engines out. As for the others, try to hold on to the handrails and rings, so as not to be thrown out together."

"Understood." "Joker" said.

"Five, four, three, two—"

The "two" in the driver's mouth just yelled out, about a quarter of a second, "Joker" took a picture of the ignition button of the engine, and a screen that had been dimmed turned on again, and gave off constant flashing red light.

"Warning! Damage to the engine is detected! It may explode at any time, please cancel the operation immediately!" The alarm sounded, and the dazzling red font appeared on the screen.

"Joker" firmly pressed his hand on the ignition button and never moved away.

In this case, if you want to force the ignition, you must press and hold this button. If you release it, the engine's safety program will automatically stop the ignition process. It is for this reason that you must be stuck at the moment when the ignition is successful. Throw out the crystallization engine... Otherwise, what you throw out will only be two "dud bombs" that cannot explode.

"one zero!"

While shouting "Zero", the cockpit directly rotated the vector nozzles at the head and tail of the transport aircraft, and increased the air output power. The entire transport aircraft completed a large tail flick in the air. As for the "clown" , turned off the energy shield at this moment, and opened the safety lock connected to the engine.

The two re-ignited crystalline engines were thrown out together with the propellers, and the energy shield of the transport plane opened up again, and in the next second, they exploded into two brilliant fireworks in midair.

"Attention everyone! The blast wave is coming!" Before the captain of the spear team finished shouting, the fuselage that had just stabilized shook violently again, like a canoe in a storm... I don't know whether it is due to the pilot's superb manipulation skills, or because they are lucky enough not to be overturned by this terrifying force.

"It works! The enemy's firepower has really been diverted away!" Although Soap couldn't turn his head to look at the window on his side, he could still see the window on the opposite side. Many spikes shot at the two big fireworks, and the saturation of the transport plane's energy shield rose again.

Relying on the cover of "fireworks", the transport plane finally landed on the ground. Everyone hurriedly dragged the equipment box and ran out. Pulled out an FMG folding submachine gun.

But just when he wanted to get up from the driver's seat, he found that his legs were completely useless—under the action of a large amount of adrenaline, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and even the submachine gun in his hand They all fell to the ground.

"Are your legs weak?" The "clown" who had just walked out of the cockpit looked back, then turned back, pulled the pilot up from the seat, and let him support him.

"Just, I didn't feel it just now... Now after the incident, I found that... the hands and feet... don't look like my own..." The driver said, "Even, I can't even speak..."

"It's normal, no shame." "Joker" picked up the submachine gun dropped by the pilot, and the two walked out of the plane together, "At least you were in the sky just now, and you performed well."

"Are... are you complimenting me?" The pilot tilted his head and stared at the clown, "Your tone... reminds me of... that instructor when I first entered aviation school... By the way, you used to ...also...the pilot?"

"I've never piloted a plane." "Joker" said in a very calm voice, "I'm just familiar enough with its structure."
