Chapter 38: Ace Pilot Chu Xuan Prepares for Takeoff (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets and Follow-ups)
To paralyze the entire city's surveillance and blind the Umbrella Corporation, it was impossible to do so without any commotion.
The Central Continent Team’s coordinates were exposed at that time, and to prevent losing track of them, the Umbrella Corporation would naturally send people to intercept them immediately.
—It was like someone delivering a pillow when you were sleepy!
Fang Ge, however, only felt that their arrival was truly opportune.
An armed helicopter is a very peculiar fighting force.
To say it was weak, it could even threaten the clone Zheng Zha in the original work.
To say it was strong, Fang Ge didn't know how it could threaten the clone Zheng Zha…
If they wanted to shoot it down, they only needed to turn the barrel of the Guanmai Great King, and it would be effortlessly destroyed.
But now, the goal was to seize the vehicle, so the operation had to be more precise.
“Da da da da da!”
Taking advantage of its air superiority, the helicopter roared, its machine gun muzzles flashing with fire, and bullets poured down like rain.
These were not rifle bullets; if one were hit, their spine would be directly blown away!
The five of them almost simultaneously activated their Gene Lock, instantly scattering. The crisis premonition brought by the Gene Lock made them feel as if they had eyes in the back of their heads, their movements agile, like ghosts!
Jin Xi, with the best physical quality, still had the ability to look after Alice and Yu Huatian.
The young girl, like a crane, lifted the two of them, one in each hand, and threw them into the laboratory. Of two evils, they chose the lesser; the two of them wouldn't be unable to deal with the zombies inside.
“Shit! Are these even humans?!” The pilot felt everything was unbelievable.
How could these people move freely through a hail of bullets without a single injury?!
Chu Xuan had the best marksmanship among them. His two Gauss pistols fired continuously, precisely hitting the helicopter's pair of machine guns!
At the same time, the Gauss bullets also grazed the helicopter's tail rotor, causing the helicopter to instantly lose its balance!
Realizing that the helicopter had lost its ability to suppress fire, Fang Ge, who always possessed an adventurous spirit, shouted:
“Zheng Zha, throw me up!”
Through the walkie-talkie, his message was conveyed accurately.
Seeing Fang Ge activate his lightness skill and leap into the air, Zheng Zha immediately extended his Symbiote tentacles more than two meters, just barely wrapping around Fang Ge’s ankle!
Like throwing a hammer, Zheng Zha’s eyes were blank. Although it was his first time performing such a move, he somehow knew how to throw it most accurately.
—Gene Lock… isn't it wonderful?
Being swung rapidly for two and a half turns, Fang Ge felt no discomfort. The moment Zheng Zha let go, the enormous inertia propelled Fang Ge like an arrow from a bowstring, soaring into the sky, directly towards that armed helicopter!
“Zhan Lan, which one is the pilot?”
Climbing onto the landing gear with one hand, the helicopter visibly shook, its fuselage tilting slightly, but Fang Ge remained steadily hanging beneath the aircraft.
“The right one, the left one is the gunner!”
Every move of the pilot could not escape Zhan Lan’s control.
Her Mental Power Scan was sufficient to cover a radius of 20 kilometers, and with precise scanning, she could have a complete understanding of everything within a 2-kilometer radius.
“Then let’s go from the left side!”
If the pilot was killed with one blow, landing would become a problem, so taking him hostage was the best option.
As for the gunner… keeping him was useless!
The armed helicopter spun and drifted in mid-air, trying to shake Fang Ge off.
How could such a good thing happen? In the howling wind, protected by the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Fang Ge moved steadily on the helicopter until he climbed to the side of the cockpit, his gaze penetrating the glass, seeing everything inside clearly.
“Shake him off quickly! Shake him off quickly…”
“I’m trying…”
Swish!
The Monomolecular Sword swept gently, without any cutting sound. Then, a powerful wind pressure poured into the cockpit…
A piece of the cockpit glass was cleanly sliced off, along with the gunner’s head, falling silently!
Fang Ge flipped himself through the opening into the cockpit, smiling as he draped his arm over the pilot’s shoulder, shouting:
“Land on that rooftop over there, and I’ll spare your life… Don’t worry, after today, the Umbrella Corporation won’t be in a position to settle accounts with you!”
The black pilot said nothing, trembling all over.
“Was it you guys who did this? A group of 【Hive Security Personnel】?” A familiar voice came from the helicopter’s communicator.
“Wesker? Long time no see.”
Fang Ge wouldn’t forget this old acquaintance, but he didn’t know if it was the original or a clone.
“I will soon be the largest shareholder of the Umbrella Corporation… You’ll be fired very soon!”
“…”
The call seemed to have been cut off. Fang Ge knew he must be in a bind now—because the Umbrella Corporation’s stock plummeting would soon make headlines.
“Chu Xuan, prepare to repair the helicopter on the rooftop, we need to hurry…”
…
Die now, or not necessarily die, the pilot still understood what to do.
This was an emergency avoidance! The pilot was more valuable than the plane… if he wasn’t a clone.
In any case, the 【battle-hardened】 armed helicopter landed somewhat unsteadily on the laboratory rooftop, adding many more scrapes.
Fang Ge generously let the pilot leave, as for whether he could survive among the streets full of zombies…
—May he live long!
“Can this still fly?” Alice’s tone was full of doubt as she looked at the severely damaged helicopter.
This situation did not trouble Chu Xuan. He merely pushed up his glasses and made his judgment:
“The core parts are intact; only the weapons and tail rotor are damaged. It’s easy to repair.”
He said, taking out two CN171 military exoskeletons from his spatial bag, placing them beside the helicopter to use as 【repair materials】.
Then he began to draw a 【Transmutation Circle】 on the rooftop.
In Alice’s eyes, all of this seemed like an incomprehensible 【cult ritual】; she suspected she had boarded a black ship.
“A large group of zombies and creepers are heading our way; it must be the Umbrella Corporation causing trouble!”
Zhan Lan had just recovered from the backlash when her brows furrowed again.
Under her Mental Power Scan, she discovered that the zombies still had mental energy reactions, which indicated that the zombies were not dead, but living dead bound by their physical bodies and with chaotic minds!
“Without surveillance, they can only rely on satellites to determine our location.” Chu Xuan didn’t stop drawing but motioned for Zhan Lan to take out the 【jammer】 from her spatial bag.
It was a large instrument resembling a bamboo dragonfly, emitting a faint humming sound after activation, making it unclear if it was effective.
However, products from Chu Xuan were always of high quality, so it certainly wouldn’t disappoint.
While waiting to take off, Fang Ge picked up the invincible Guanmai Great King and began clearing the dense horde of zombie minions coming their way.
Half-meter long dark blue pulse waves spewed from the muzzle, the air showing visible fluctuations, and countless bullets, difficult for the naked eye to catch, instantly shot out.
It could be described as crumbling at a touch; even creepers would disintegrate instantly… becoming virtually indistinguishable from ordinary zombies.
Many bullets, after penetrating the zombies, would hit nearby buildings. In just a few seconds, one building, unlucky enough, directly toppled down!
The firepower overflowed too severely!
—Brush! Brush more! Higher difficulty! Higher rating!
Fang Ge listened to the sound of reward points accumulating, feeling a bit of pleasure.
Resident Evil was originally a points-farming movie. If it weren’t for the 【Difficulty Evolution】, it wouldn’t be a challenge for the current Central Continent Team at all.
The four of them indeed farmed a considerable amount of points when they first arrived and consumed all their side quests, converting them into 【Main God’s Evaluation】.
But compared to their 【combat power】, this amount of evaluation was still not enough.
It should be noted that the base difficulty of the next horror movie is determined the moment they return to the Main God Space.
However, after exchanging, they returned to Resident Evil to farm points, and cleanly, clearly telling the Main God, “We are very strong…”
What would the Main God do?
Based on Fang Ge’s understanding of the Main God, it would not change the standard of the next horror movie but would further increase the rewards of the next horror movie… thereby indirectly raising the original difficulty.
Because it had to force the Reincarnators to evolve.
For example, a D-level main quest that could originally be completed with effort would become a life-threatening B-level main quest, creating a special situation where one could earn but not spend.
But in Fang Ge’s eyes, there was no Reincarnation world that couldn’t be passed, only insufficient operation.
Approximately six hundred reward points were gained in total, until Chu Xuan clapped his hands, and after the lightning and thunder effects, he announced that the helicopter had been repaired.
The Gatling machine guns equipped on the exoskeleton were also filled into the damaged machine gun slots, and the tail rotor was repaired with exoskeleton materials. Even the chipped paint was mostly touched up.
Alice was dumbfounded, but everyone around her was accustomed to all of this.
Am I the abnormal one? Alice even had such a thought.
Chu Xuan was the first to sit in the cockpit and signaled Yu Huatian to take the gunner’s position. Everyone else entered the cabin one after another, feeling a bit crowded.
When Zhan Lan created Yu Huatian, she endowed him with military knowledge. Even if he hadn’t operated it himself, he should have no problem adapting to firing it.
The glasses-wearing man then turned to Zheng Zha and said, “I left an opening on the edge of the cockpit, so you can extend the 【Guanmai Great King】 out of the cockpit through this opening and manipulate it to fire with your Symbiote!”
“New armed helicopters are turning towards us again, two at twelve o’clock and two at nine o’clock, approximately ten kilometers away.”
Zhan Lan’s voice made everyone, who had just relaxed, tense up again.
“Our firepower and effective range are much stronger… It’s up to you, Zheng Zha!”
Fang Ge clearly remembered that the effective range of the Guanmai Great King was as high as seven kilometers, far exceeding this era’s capabilities.
The propellers began to spin rapidly. Ace Pilot Chu Xuan was ready for takeoff!
“It’s Ace Combat time!”
