Chapter 39 Fang Ge: Requesting US military base support!
PS: I woke up owing a total of 12 chapters… I still underestimated the intensity of all you readers…
The free chapters will have 6 additional updates within two days, meaning ten chapters will be updated in two days.

Below is the main text ---
“It’s Ace Combat time!”
As the roar of the engine gradually intensified, the massive double-bladed propellers began to spin, stirring the surrounding air.
The armed helicopter’s fuselage trembled slightly, then slowly lifted off the ground, steadily rising into the air.
“Zheng Zha, they’re within effective range!”
Zhan Lan now only regretted not being able to share her mental detection with her teammates; trying to describe the helicopter’s coordinates verbally was too difficult for an amateur like her.
What’s more, Zheng Zha might not even understand… but he had another solution.
His vision was already quite good after enhancement; while he couldn’t see the target clearly, seeing a “small black dot” was no problem.
Why not just hold the trigger down? The Symbiote wasn’t a human hand, the gun barrel could rotate without angle restrictions, and full-range fire coverage would solve everything!
Zheng Zha roared, “Chu Xuan! You just fly the helicopter, leave the rest to me!”
Tiny, needle-tipped solid projectiles accelerated in a pulsed manner, and the Guanmai Great King emitted a huge roar, comparable to the helicopter engine’s sound.
The Guanmai Great King’s power was nearly double that of a Gauss Weapon!
Even conventional targets seven or eight thousand meters away (based on real-world creatures and mechanical vehicles), if hit, would still suffer massive, penetrating wounds!
It was simply an invincible weapon below Tier 4!
An armed helicopter was unfortunately covered by the Guanmai Great King’s trajectory, trembling violently in the air, emitting a sharp and desperate shriek!
Thousands of tiny projectiles directly tore it to shreds!
“Boom!”
Then came a deafening roar, debris fell, quickly engulfed by flames in mid-air, sparks flying like a brilliant fireworks display!
【Destroyed 1 armed helicopter, gained 200 reward points】
“Awesome!”
Zheng Zha felt a surge of exhilaration, never before had he felt reward points come so easily.
He repeated the process, turning the gun to shred three other armed helicopters that were pursuing and intercepting them; the worst-hit one even turned into dozens of fragments, and the pilot was suspected to have fused with the wreckage, becoming a “Machine Spirit”!
Once the excitement passed, Zheng Zha suddenly realized he had killed more than ten people in total…
“Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to your own!” Seeing Zheng Zha’s mood wasn’t quite right, Fang Ge tried hard to brainwash him.
“Of course, it’s not that I think we should let them go… it’s just that I feel a sense of ‘disconnection,’ when just a few days ago, I was still very ordinary…”
Zheng Zha gave a bitter laugh, unsure if it was due to the Symbiote or the Vampire bloodline, but he felt no physiological resistance.
Precisely because of this, Zheng Zha felt somewhat unfamiliar with himself. He had reduced people to dust, yet he didn’t even feel disgusted…
Fang Ge wasn’t worried that Zheng Zha, surrounded by guilt, would get bogged down.
As long as he realized that he had completely departed from the life of an “ordinary person,” he would soon rekindle his fighting spirit, perhaps even becoming more adept at killing than a soldier…
“Chu Xuan, how much longer until we reach the vicinity of the Hive?”
“It will take about fifteen minutes…” Chu Xuan replied calmly.
A typical helicopter’s speed can reach 300 KM/H. And their current flying speed had already reached more than twice that number!
With Chu Xuan’s skills, he still made the helicopter bumpy, which showed that the speed had already reached its critical limit and couldn’t go any faster!
“This Raccoon City is quite large, isn’t it?”
Due to Alice, a plot character, being present, Zhan Lan did not directly say, “The Main God changed the plot.”
Fortunately, everyone understood… right?
“It won’t be that simple… logically, it will get more and more difficult.”
Knowing that the Main God would increase the difficulty, Fang Ge reminded everyone to stay vigilant: “Although their surveillance and satellites have been dealt with by us, the Umbrella Corporation has lost our real-time location and can only rely on other combat units to search for us.”
“But if nothing unexpected happens, we will soon encounter something unexpected.”
“Why didn’t I realize you liked to ‘jinx things’ before?”
Zhan Lan puffed out her cheeks, chiding, “Can’t you just hope for the best…?”
Suddenly, the big-breasted girl shivered and exclaimed, “They really came! There are missiles! Many of them!”
---This Umbrella Corporation doesn’t look like a biotechnology company at all, but purely an arms dealer! Missiles, nuclear bombs…
“See, I told you… What’s the speed of a missile?”
Fang Ge spread his hands, then asked Chu Xuan again, “Can we shake it off? How did it lock onto us?”
“Shaking it off is unrealistic; these missiles can reach speeds of 800 KM/H. We can only delay the time until we are hit…”
Chu Xuan’s hands fluttered like butterflies, and he simultaneously instructed, “You can have Zheng Zha detonate them in advance.”
“I can’t confirm what locked onto our position for now… I’m more inclined to believe it’s some kind of modified creature…”
---Modified creature? That’s right, the updated plot world is full of randomness. What hasn’t happened before doesn’t mean it won’t happen now.
---Especially since this situation is even more reasonable.
Fang Ge suddenly looked towards Alice, his sharp, eagle-like gaze seemingly wanting to strip her bare.
If she had a special positioning device on her that was immune to electromagnetic interference, wouldn’t that explain what was happening now?
“I know which modified creature it is… Zhan Lan, scan Alice to see if there’s anything unusual about her.”
Zhan Lan, however, shook her head: “No, she has mental interference on her, possibly due to her Telekinesis…”
“You mean, I have a tracking device on me?”
Alice might not understand Telekinesis and mental interference, but the intelligent protagonist quickly realized she might have been tampered with.
She tried to recall, but her laboratory experiences were too blurry; she couldn’t confirm where it might have been implanted.
---Could it be some mental black technology again?
Fang Ge didn’t know; if so, then “disassembling” the locator would be impossible; they couldn’t just crack Alice’s head open!
“We’re slowing down now, switching to low-altitude flight.”
Fang Ge decided immediately: “Since we can’t avoid the Umbrella Corporation’s eyes, then let it not escape the public’s eyes.”
“We’re still wearing the Umbrella Corporation’s logo… Chu Xuan, just turn off our signal jamming and contact all US military bases via radio!”
“Expose everything we’re experiencing to the military. Say that the Umbrella Corporation has an internal split and is now engaged in internal conflict in the city, using a large number of destructive weapons!”
“The US military is best at ‘getting a piece of the pie.’ Presumably, there’s no reason they would sit idly by!”
The Umbrella Corporation could be the local power in Raccoon City, could possess a large number of destructive weapons, and could conduct biological experiments; as long as these things were done secretly… or even if there was just an “excuse,” the Umbrella Corporation’s political influence would help them settle it.
These scandals, if weighed, would be far more than just a few ounces… if weighed, they would probably be over a thousand pounds!
“If you insist.”
Chu Xuan did not think this was a good strategy.
If the US military intervened, their pressure from the Umbrella Corporation would certainly decrease.
But pushing the Umbrella Corporation too hard… a nuclear bomb could also fall earlier!
However, since the captain had already spoken, he would not object.
Chu Xuan continued to operate the plane, and guided Zhan Lan to make the call. At the same time, he provided Zheng Zha with a better angle, allowing him to intercept the missiles!
He was practically a superman!
“The Umbrella Corporation people are indeed crazy. We’ve descended to this altitude, and they’re still using missiles to bomb us…”
Zheng Zha shattered a Tomahawk missile, letting the airburst fireworks explode brilliantly in the sky, causing nearby buildings to sway precariously…
Zhan Lan, however, showed a faint smile: “No, they’ve decided to change their approach. There are no more missiles, so presumably, the military’s deterrence has worked.”
After all, the Umbrella Corporation hadn’t reached the point of throwing caution to the wind yet; confronting the US military head-on was also a dead end.
And stock prices were a hanging sword… if the Umbrella Corporation immediately faced bankruptcy and couldn’t pay salaries.
Where would they find lower-level employees to complete the important task of “destroying the world”? They probably couldn’t even afford to make clones anymore!
“Phew, I can finally relax a bit.” Zheng Zha let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s not a cessation of attack, but a change in method.”
Fang Ge, however, prompted him to look below:
“These biological weapons can all be attributed to—accidental leakage, but there’s no evidence to prove they are manipulated by the Umbrella Corporation!”
