Chapter 556 The Rise of the Lion King: Air Rescue

The roaring propeller roared through the sky, pushing the huge fuselage over the chaotic city. The air flow it drove swept up the raging fire and heat waves on the surface, rising upwards and hitting Vito's face. superior.

He was sitting on the edge of the cabin door, with headphones on his head and one hand on the armrest beside the cabin door. He was looking sideways at the burning city below. The night sky had already been illuminated by the fire, and the fire was shining into the cabin. , lit up Vito's face, and the brothers Loken and Serksos who were squatting in the cabin behind them.

The noise in the cabin was deafening. Unlike the Tau aircraft, human flying units adopted a traditional flight structure within the atmosphere. The sound of the engines was thunderous. Even if they were only shouting with their mouths, they could not hear each other clearly even if they were less than half a meter apart. words, so everyone was wearing headphones, including the pilot.

"Sir, we can't find their location. There are fires everywhere." The driver's voice came from the earphones, accompanied by the roar of the propellers in the background. Vito put on the earphones and stood sideways in the blazing wind. He looked around in the sky and soon discovered the signal smoke rising from the city in the distance.

The smoke formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding black smoke. It reflected light under the firelight, like a beacon in the darkness. It was the standard emergency signal smoke of the Astra Militarum. Considering that there are currently no stars in the city, The activities of the border army unit can only be done by a group of people.

"Captain, I found them, at three o'clock." Vito grabbed the armrest above his head with one hand, squatted up and leaned against the cabin door, holding on to the headset and shouted loudly. His voice was echoed by the roar of the propeller above his head. The force release was loud, but the captain could hear it clearly, "I saw it, we're heading there." The pilot responded, and the helicopter immediately began to turn, and it flew in the direction of the rising signal smoke, flashing In the dim red sky, they were not the only aircraft heading.

A float car appeared silently beside the helicopter. Vito leaned against the hatch, holding on to the handrail to steady his body in the strong wind. He looked at the orange float car, which looked like the night. The ghost in the scene flies silently, in sharp contrast to the roaring gunship.

That was the Tau shuttle. It floated in the air, flying beside the helicopter under the influence of magnetism. Vito looked at him, and Loken and Serksos behind him also bent down to look at it. Maybe the other party's The crew was also looking at them, but the float had no windows and could not allow the two sides to look at each other. But at least, neither side was hostile.

The float vehicle accelerated forward and flew over. Vito leaned on the hatch and looked at it. The float vehicle was also flying towards the direction of the signal smoke. It was already very close, and it seemed that it would arrive first. Tuo turned on the headset, "Captain, speed up, we can't let the Tau pick up our people."

Before Vito finished speaking, there was an explosion in front of him. It seemed that he didn't need to worry about his helicopter being overtaken, because the Tau's floating car exploded and was hit by something. The side of the car body exploded. There was a violent explosion, and then it fell into the sky with billowing smoke.

Vito looked at the fireball that exploded on the ground in surprise, and then looked around. The captain also shouted, "Who shot them down?" Vito looked around, his eyes scanning the dark night sky, and suddenly his eyes widened. Pointing in a direction, "RPG!"

In the direction of the high-rise building below the helicopter, a rocket flew over with flames. It pulled out a long white smoke and flew towards the helicopter. The captain was startled and immediately pulled up the operating control, and the propeller suddenly turned to the emergency helicopter. He maneuvered and dodged the incoming missile.

Everyone in the cabin was thrown to the wall on the other side under the roll. Only Vito grabbed the armrest and stood by the cabin door. He stood up and looked at the source of the rocket smoke, and then saw another sight. A rising missile, "Five o'clock! Second shot!"

The helicopter quickly maneuvered again, dodging to one side to avoid another missile, but soon, a rocket fired from a tall building on the other side, roaring towards the helicopter's tail. But quickly, a series of heat bombs were fired from the end of the helicopter. They spread out in all directions, spreading out like flowers, causing the rockets to lose their direction and explode in the air.

"Where are they? Eleven o'clock, sharp-angled high-rise building." Vito stood outside the cabin, half of his body ejected and pointed at the building in the distance. The helicopter captain said something vaguely in the earphones, and the voice was affected by the current. He was hoarse, but soon he expressed his meaning with practical actions.

The helicopter turned its head, and the tail blades rotated rapidly, allowing the bomb bays hanging on both sides of the helicopter to successfully turn. Then, they fired a series of bright missiles. The missiles whizzed away, crossing the night sky and hitting high-rise buildings. Half of the building exploded completely, and the superstructure collapsed and fell into the sky.

"Eliminate the threat." The captain's voice said. Vito held up the headset and nodded, "Copy, keep observing, and move on." "Copied, over."

The captain quickly pressed several rows of buttons around the board, holding the operating stick in his hand to lower the helicopter. It landed from the sky and flew down. After passing through the gap between two tall buildings at low altitude, it flicked and stopped. In the garden between the office buildings, it looks like a work park, with an open lawn in the middle. However, the trees and statues in the past have fallen into pieces.

On the grass, a Valhalla soldier held a lit signal stick that smoked violently outwards. He waved the stick in his hand to indicate the landing position for the landing helicopter. The strong wind blown by the propeller spread the smoke in his hand, and the lawn under his feet was also It was blown down, but soon, with skilled cooperation, the helicopter's wheels landed on the grass.

Vito sat on the side of the cabin and soon saw a group of people standing on the grassland of fire. They were surrounded by the accompanying guards. The people of Valhalla were surrounding with guns, and only a few people were standing on the grass. , and Vito recognized their faces immediately, "Commissar Kane, Colonel Castine, nice to meet you. Is that a Tau person?"

"Nice to meet you too, Vito." Kane pressed the political commissar hat on his head to prevent it from being blown away by the propeller. He yelled back at the top of his voice from below the helicopter that was still on, pointing at a few A blue-skinned Tau, "They are the remaining members of the envoy, they are all here."

"The ambassador is dead, right?" Vito took off his earphones, hung them around his neck and yelled. Kane approached him and heard his words, and responded at the top of his voice, "Yes, dead, an accident. "It seems hard to tell for a while, right?" "Yes, we'd better go quickly, there are shootings everywhere."

Vito nodded, stood up and greeted the people on the lawn, "Get in the helicopter! We don't have time to stay." He immediately stretched out his hand and pulled Commissar Kane up, and then Castin carried a gun on his back. She bent down and ran up against the strong wind of the propeller. Her red hair danced in the strong wind. Vito bent down and pulled her up.

Then came the other people, first the Tau people. The first one of them to come didn't seem to think much of Vito. He just glared at him, shook off his hand and climbed in by himself, but the one behind him The Tau tribe looked much kinder. He stretched out his hand with only four fingers for Vito to grab.

"Sorry, that's Il Solas. He's in a bad mood." "I understand, come up." Vito shouted and pulled him up, followed by several other Tau, but before they Vito didn't recognize the people after him. They were a few humans. Seeing Vito's confusion, Kane squatted behind him and shouted in his ear, "People from the Governor's Palace! There are more."

"Governor! Yes, you can see that." Vito looked at the man who grabbed his hand and climbed onto the helicopter with all his strength, but was unable to climb out due to his weight. In the end, the people in Valhalla around him couldn't stand it, and their backs He loaded the gun and ran up and pushed him up. Then he lay down on the floor of the cabin and climbed in.

Vito glanced at him with a smile, then turned around and grabbed someone from the Governor's Palace, and then turned to the captain of the Valhalla soldiers, "Sorry, Commander, we have to pick you up in the next shift. That guy, a One person is worth four people.”

"It's okay, sir, send the political commissar and the others back, we will stand here and wait for reinforcements." Commander Valhalla shouted and turned around and ran away. He pressed the beret on top of his head and ran towards him after a few steps. The pilot at the front of the plane gestured, and the latter looked at him and nodded, then flipped the switch, and the helicopter propellers rotated vigorously, stirring up airflow and allowing them to fly.

Vito leaned against the cabin and looked at the Valhalla on the ground. He carried his gun and saluted Vito. The latter also grabbed the armrest and saluted him with one hand, and then leaned back into the cabin. , sat next to Kane, leaned into his ear and shouted, "It looks like you guys have a lot of new friends."

"Yes! This is Brody, a diplomat from the Ministry of Government!" Kane pointed his eyes at a person in the cabin, a man with gray hair. He squatted down and stretched out his hand to Vito, "Fortunately, Yes! I'm glad you're here!" "Me too, this diplomacy is not going well, right?"

Vito held his hand and shook it, then looked at the next person, who was sitting next to the diplomat, "Who is this?" Kane shouted at the top of his voice, "Rex! The translator of the Tau tribe. and consultants, but also businessmen who work with them! ”

"The common language of the Tau is not very good, right?" Vito smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Rex, who crouched down and leaned close to him with a smile, "It's not good enough! So you brought me here." "But you're doing good business with them, right? What kind of business do you do?" "Handcrafts! Small technological things from the Tau are very popular." "They must be selling well, are they the kind that can kill people?"

Vito held his hand and shouted with a smile, overpowering the roar of the propeller above his head, but the translator and businessman laughed, "They are all little things!" "Little things can also kill people, but I wish you business "Bless you too, sir!"

Rex let go of Vito's hand and sat back. Vito also leaned back to the left, grabbed the armrest on one side, and leaned close to Kane's ear. "Can you contact the regiment?" "No! It started a few minutes ago. , all the lines are disconnected! Someone is interfering with our communications!”

Kane yelled at the top of his lungs into Vito's ears, and then glanced at Castine. She was sitting next to Jurgen, wearing headphones hanging above her head. She seemed to be asking about something loudly, but Kane couldn't hear him, and then he approached Vito and shouted, "She is very worried about the situation in the group!" "Then she is a good group leader, don't worry, we will send you back!"

After Vito smiled and said this, the whole helicopter suddenly shook. It swayed left and right in the air, making everyone in the cabin completely unstable. As it swung around, Vito stood up holding the handrail. He held the thing tightly and leaned out of the door, watching a rocket fly up.

The helicopter maneuvered again, and a series of heat-inducing bombs were fired from the tail. The flames of the explosions shone outside the cabin, instantly illuminating Vito's face. He put on his headphones and yelled into the headset, "Captain! What's going on?!"

"We are being attacked!" he shouted, and the helicopter made another emergency maneuver to avoid a rocket. Vito grabbed the handle on the side of the cabin with one hand, and most of his body popped out to look at the building below. Another rocket was fired from there, and the helicopter quickly fired jammers to lead it to explode.

"All the decoy missiles have been used up!" the captain yelled. The strong wind blew on Vito's face from outside the cabin. He stood outside holding the handle, watching the helicopter turn around and fire fiercely at a building. The machine gun on the nose of the helicopter fired at the floors of the building. The fluorescent bullets were fired and swept through the glass, causing fragments to fly and explosions to occur.

The missile flew out from under Vito's feet and hit the middle of the building at once. A violent explosion sounded immediately, blowing out the glass and fragments, and the entire building also swayed and overturned to one side.

Vito looked at the destroyed building. Suddenly, there was an explosion under his feet. He lowered his head and saw that the weapon rack under his feet was ignited. A series of ammunition was fired. He lowered his head and looked at a heavy machine gun on the roof below. It was firing fiercely at the helicopter above his head.

"The ammunition rack is on fire! Throw it down immediately!" Vito yelled into the headset at the top of his voice. The ammunition rack under his feet, which had been on fire, was immediately thrown down and exploded in the air, setting off a huge fire in the air.

Vito stood at the door, raised his hands to block in front of him. Several bullets from the heavy machine gun hit the surrounding fuselage, and one of them hit the fan blade of the tail wing, instantly causing the entire helicopter to spin unbalanced in the air. The people in the cabin were thrown left and right. Vito held the handle tightly and stood outside.

"Captain! Can you control the helicopter?" He yelled into the headset, and there was a strong response from the other side. The control lever squeaked under the violent pull, "Yes! But you can't be shot again! But our weapons are gone!"

"I'll take care of it, you just fly well." Vito said, taking off the headset and looking at Locke behind him, "Locke! Give me your gun!" "Sir, you are just a mortal now, you will use it." "I didn't ask you to talk nonsense! Give me the gun! At least my shooting skills have always been better than yours."

Vito yelled, Locke did not resist anymore, he pulled out his grenade gun and handed it to Vito, the long gun god crossed the entire cabin, the passengers sitting on both sides raised their hands and lifted the big gun in front of them, and finally Kane carried it and handed it to Vito.

After the latter caught the grenade launcher, he waved his head at Kane, "Help me hold the gun!" Vito yelled, and Kane immediately stood up and moved to the gun. He carried the gun on his shoulder, stretched out his hands and grabbed the handrails on both sides. Vito stepped back a few steps behind him, leaned against the end of the gun body in the cabin, and aimed at the crosshairs.

The helicopter was spinning rapidly in the air. Kane held the handrails on both sides tightly, shaking left and right but struggling to stabilize. Vito put the butt of the grenade launcher on his shoulder, pressed his whole palm on the trigger, and stared at the outside of the sight.

The helicopter swung rapidly, and suddenly straightened under the captain's jerk, the tail swung backwards, and the side door of the cabin was instantly swung up and aimed at the building where the heavy machine gun was located. The people below saw the muzzle of the gun, and also saw Kane, who was leaning against the door and holding the muzzle, and Vito, who was holding the gun behind him.

In a split second, Vito suddenly pulled the trigger, and the explosive bullet was fired with the crosshairs. The bullet was shot out from the muzzle with flames, illuminating Kane and Vito's faces, and then flew down and hit the ammunition box next to the heavy machine gun on the roof.

Suddenly, the roof of the entire building exploded instantly, and a raging fire rose up, illuminating the side of the entire helicopter. Kane breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the flaming roof. His hands softened because of the previous muzzle trembling, and then he was pulled back into the cockpit by Vito and sat down in his seat.

Vito also sighed, put the grenade launcher against the seat, then sat back in his seat, next to Kane, and put on his headphones again, "Captain, take us back."

"Understood, sir." The captain responded, pulling up the joystick and flying towards the horizon at dawn. Vito leaned against the cabin door, looking at the rising red sun. The sun shone on his face, bathing it in light. Vito closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and fell asleep.
