Under a gray sky, the US military base in Changi, Singapore.
A US military E3 electronic reconnaissance plane slid over the end of the runway, its nose raised slightly, and soon disappeared into the distant sky.
Thirty minutes later, the electronic reconnaissance plane flew over the Grinji volcano, and the electronic operator turned on the high-precision camera under the nose of the aircraft, and the image was quickly transmitted to an electronic screen in the plane's control room.
Captain Rod, the commander of the reconnaissance plane, glanced at the image, and immediately gasped, and couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hands.
"God", as a professional soldier who has always been known for his calmness, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is simply hell on earth." ” Dense volcanic clouds floated over the Mount Grinji, turning the entire sky to gray, and the coastline around Penan had advanced inward6 for more than ten kilometers, reducing the area of the entire Indonesian island of Sumatra by 1o compared to the previous map.
When the camera zooms in, you can see that the entire area of floating debris is floating on the surface of the sea, and the corpses, the wreckage of the house, and the fragments of the ship, all six things on the ground cannot escape.
However, Captain Rhodes' mission was by no means to check the damage, and the plane did not make any stops in this area, but directly crossed the volcanic group and soon reached the sky over the Mintawe Islands.
"This is the Mindawe Islands" Captain Rhodes glanced at the coordinates, he was very familiar with this flight route, usually flying near Padang in less than ten minutes to see the narrow Mentawai Islands appear on the surface of the sea, but now, there is nothing but a vast sea below.
"Base Call HummingbirdBase Call Hummingbird" A call from the command center at the Changi base came from the headset.
"I'm Captain Rhodes, the commander of the Hummingbirds, please."
"Please report on the progress of your reconnaissance."
"We have just flown over the Mentawai Islands, and now we are flying in the direction of Chagos, the situation around the Grinji volcano is very bad, the entire coast of Padang has been destroyed, the tsunami has pushed the coastline towards the Great 6 for nearly 10 kilometers, and the Mentawai Islands have been completely annihilated by the sea."
Captain Rhodes replied with a walkie-talkie.
"Understood.
That's not the point, Captain Rhodes, your mission is to find the twin carrier group we deployed in the Chagos Archipelago, five hours ago, the base received their last distress message, and since then the location of the formation has been unknown, two Hornets sent by the Philippine base went to reconnoitre, and one crashed inexplicably, and the other returned to the base, but the pilot seemed to have a mental problem. ” "There is a problem" Captain Rhodes was a little surprised, you know, the people deployed at the Philippine base are all elite pilots of the Navy, how can there be a problem with their mental condition "That's right, the psychiatrist at the base judged that he had gone mad."
The mechanical answer from the command center sent a chill down Captain Rod's spine.
"Crazy," Captain Rhodes asked.
"That's right, he said he saw an X-Men like a capable person, he said that the twin carrier groups were northeast of the Chagos archipelago, but all the ships had lost power and power, and he was hijacked by a golden beauty who could teleport, and then went to another ship of unknown nationality, and finally let him go."
"The most ridiculous thing is that he said that his comrades were shot down by the phalanx on the carrier, and the people on the ship attacked them," said the base's liaison officer.
"What" Captain Rhodes also felt that he was listening to mythological stories, and couldn't help but say, "This guy seems to be really crazy." ” "Well, you should have thirty minutes to get to the area where the carrier formation is located, be sure to find the entire formation, the DOD is very nervous about this matter, and some staff officers think they have been attacked in the Indian Ocean."
"International joke," said Captain Rhodes, "who else on this planet would dare to attack our American troops, and that would be a declaration of war on the most powerful United States of America."
"I don't know, but right-wing officials in Washington and the DOD have already made some statements, they think that maybe it's Russia, it could be China's navy, so you have to figure out the situation, otherwise there may be unnecessary friction."
"Okay, leave it to us."
Captain Rhodes put down the walkie-talkie, thought about it, and couldn't help but sneer, those high-level people are crazy, except for some naval formations sent by China and Russia to escort the Indian Ocean, there is no other military force, just with a few destroyers, how to kill a double aircraft carrier formation All of the surveillance screens in the cabin suddenly began to ripple, and all of the electronic operator's headsets rustled, and the communication channels seemed to be interfered with.
The plane began to shake constantly, as if it was grabbed by an invisible big hand, and some bits and pieces in the cabin fell to the ground, ping pong.
"Captain, there is a strong interference with our equipment," Rhodes' subordinate reported to him.
"What's going on" "Maybe it's the weather," said the subordinate: "The weather is terrible" Rhodes ran to the porthole and looked out through the glass, and the dark and thick clouds outside were below and above the plane, and the plane was sandwiched in the middle like the filling of a sandwich biscuit.
He quickly ran into the cockpit and asked the two pilots: "What's going on, the plane seems to be a little bad." ” "There was a strong draft, and we were in the thunderstorm zone, I had to fly higher and avoid those low-pressure clouds, otherwise we would have been struck by lightning, and then we would all have to jump into the sea to feed the fish," the captain replied to Rod as he grabbed the rudder and sweated profusely.
"But if we are above the clouds, we can't see the situation on the sea at all," Rhodes said, "we have to go down, otherwise there is no point in us coming over to reconnoitre, we have to find the aircraft carrier formation on the sea." ” "Captain, the sea is in a mess now, before flying into the clouds just now, I saw that the sea was full of tsunami wolves up to 100 meters high, and not one wave, but several waves" The captain's implication seemed to be very clear, in this case, even the aircraft carrier, the largest military ship in the world, could only be overturned like a cardboard box.
"You and I are both soldiers and don't have so many doubts, you descend immediately now, under the clouds, we will soon reach the sea area where the aircraft carrier formation finally signaled, we must find them" Rhodes finally emphasized: "I order the descent immediately in the name of the commander" The E3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft lowered the nose and passed through the heavy black clouds It was dark in the cockpit, and in the clouds, the light was very dim, and everything seemed so eerie except for the red, green, and green indicators on the dashboard.
Suddenly, it seemed to dawn in front of me, the light in the cockpit became a little brighter, and the plane had already flown out of the clouds.
Captain Rhodes peered through the front windshield of the plane, and almost at the same time, he and the two pilots exclaimed "God, what is that?"
