68 Chapter 53: First Battle Victory


    Yan Fei was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the fighter jet. He then saw the jet dive toward him, a tail me suddenly emerging from its belly, and a streak of fireing straight at him. He immediately realized that the fighter jet hadunched a missile attack on him.


    All this time, it had been Yan Fei who controlled drones tounch missile attacks on others. He never thought the tables would turn and that he would face this situation himself. The iing missile was incredibly fast. Even though it flew in a circle in the air, it was locked firmly on Yan Fei and rushed toward his direction at high speed.


    Yan Fei knew the power of missiles. Although he was strong, he was frighteningly weak in the face of a missile attack and unable to withstand it. He quickly surveyed his surroundings and resolutely let the blonde woman go; he then leaned back and jumped off therge tree, plummeting headfirst toward the ground below at great speed.


    The missile flew past the big tree above, and as expected, did not attack the blonde woman standing there. Instead, it chased after Yan Fei, who was descending rapidly—it was about to catch up with him.


    At that moment, Yan Fei quickly passed through arge tree growing on the cliff below. Although he was scratched all over by the branches, he managed to get through the tree and continued to fall downwards.


    The missile, chasing Yan Fei and too close to avoid therge tree, struck the branches and exploded,pletely destroying therge tree with the tremendous force of the st. The impact then spread downward, hitting Yan Fei and making him fall even faster.


    Yan Fei swiftly assessed the environment and, through precise calction, used therge tree to block the missile attack, narrowly escaping disaster. However, Yan Fei was still in a very difficult situation, remaining in danger.


    Seeing the first missile evaded by Yan Fei, the fighter jetunched another missile. This missile flew toward Yan Fei and seemed to be on the verge of hitting him. As he continued to fall rapidly, his speed increasing, Yan Fei suddenly somersaulted and grabbed a nearby vine, swinging away. The missile, unable to dodge in time, hit the nearby cliffside and exploded, creating arge hole in it.


    As the vine swung back, Yan Fei released his grip and jumped into the hole just created by the missile. This hole didn''t exist before; it was made by the missile explosion and now conveniently provided Yan Fei a ce to hide.


    Yan Fei had just made out his attacker: the fighter jet was the very familiar F-16, painted with the United States Air Force insignia, indicating it belonged to the US Air Force. He had no quarrel with the US Army, so why were they attacking him? Could it be that the blonde woman was associated with the US Army and she had called in the F-16 fighter?


    The US Air Force F-16, having failed to hit Yan Fei with two missiles, was preparing to fire again. But Yan Fei cleverly hid in the cave, out of the F-16''s reach. The cave was pitch dark and seemingly vast; randomly firing missiles wouldn''t necessarily harm Yan Fei and would only waste the F-16''s ammunition.


    So, Yan Fei hid in the cave, observing the situation outside. He saw the US Air Force F-16 circling, notunching any more missiles. Five minutester, loud roars rang out again as three mammoth Chinook transport helicopters appeared atop the mountain and moved toward the blonde woman''s location, hovering above her.


    The doors of the Chinook transport helicopters swung open, and ropes were lowered. Fully armed US military soldiers began fast-roping down. Soon after, over a hundred soldiers from the three Chinooks had allnded.


    This US Army unit swiftly assembled, then located the blonde woman in the tree. The Americanmander saluted her respectfully, and she returned the gesture, before they exchanged a few words.


    They appeared to have some disagreements, but finally, themanderplied with the blonde woman''s wishes. He signaled his troops, who then spread out and began scouring the slope below. It seemed they aimed to find Yan Fei, either to kill him or capture him. Meanwhile, the Chinook transport helicopters did notnd but continued to hover overhead without leaving.


    Suddenly, Yan Fei''s situation worsened dramatically. An F-16 from the US Air Force was circling in the sky; if he showed his face, he''d be under missile fire. On the ground, arge US Army force had arrived; these military soldiers, heavily armed, started searching for Yan Fei. Should they find him, it was certain they would attack.


    Although Yan Fei was formidable, he couldn''t disregard attacks from firearms. So if the US military soldiers found Yan Fei, he would be in big trouble.


    What angered Yan Fei the most was that the blonde woman, having gained a breather, began to heal from her wounds and once again joined the search for him. With her present, many of Yan Fei''s tactics would fail.


    Yan Fei was hidden within the cave, which had been carved out by an F-16 missile. Although the interior space was vast and pitch-ck, with depths unseen, he could vaguely discern that there were many other caverns inside. It seemed this had been a natural cave all along, only undiscovered due to a thinyer of rock, now exposed to daylight thanks to the missile''s st.


    The present circumstances were unfavorable for Yan Fei, constantly putting his life at risk. Although his instinct was to escape through these caves, whose destinations were unknown, a determined expression crossed his face, and he did not choose to flee through the caverns.


    Yan Fei took off the backpack he was carrying and gently set the little chimpanzee on the ground. The chimp had been incredibly lucky, as it was unharmed despite the hectic escape through the woods. Only the rapid descent had frightened it.


    Yan Fei opened Universal Space and took out some food, which he ced in front of the chimpanzee. He unwrapped the food and said, "Little chimpanzee, I''m really sorry that your parents were killed. I should have taken care of you, but I still have very important things to do right now, so I can only leave you here for the time being, as this is the safest ce for now. If everything goes well, I wille back to find you after I finish my tasks."


    The chimpanzee looked at Yan Fei, then at the pile of food on the ground, uttering yi yi ya ya noises, but sadly Yan Fei couldn''t understand animalnguage and didn''t know what it was trying to say. He could only pat the chimpanzee''s head tofort it and then prepared to leave the cave.


    The F-16 fighters were still patrolling the sky, and the US Army forces on the ground were about to approach the cave where Yan Fei was. At that moment, another F-16 fighter suddenly appeared in the sky. The two fighter jets joined up to form a two-ne formation, providing air support for the US military soldiers'' operation below.


    Two minutester, a peculiar-looking airne suddenly appeared at a distant mountaintop. Although the airne was flying close to the mountaintop, it was immediately detected by the radar of the US Army''s F-16 fighter, and then the pilot of the fighter jet also spotted the strange airne with the naked eye.


    The pilot of the fighter jet that hadunched the attack spoke over themunication channel, "Carl, do you see the ne ahead?"


    Carl, the pilot in the following F-16 fighter, replied, "Jerry, I see it. It looks very much like our ''Predator Drone,'' but why isn''t there any paint on it?"


    The previous pilot, Jerry, said, "This is basically a Predator Drone! Who knows why it doesn''t have any paint? Maybe it''s one of our Special Forces executing a special mission here. They probably don''t want to reveal their identities in order to keep it a secret."


    Carl retorted, "As long as you''re not blind, you can tell it''s ours from the shape. They still want to conceal their identity? That''s really hiding one''s head and exposing one''s tail."


    Jerry said, "Let''s not worry about it. Let''splete our task for today and report this to our superiors after we get back. Let them decide what to do."


    As the two pilots were casually chatting, they saw the "Predator Drone" rapidly approaching them. Very quickly, the Predator Drone closed the distance between itself and the F-16 leading by Jerry to just two kilometers.


    Jerry became suspicious and immediately tried to contact the other party via the military channel, but there was no response at all. Jerry and Carl started to feel uneasy, and then saw the drone''s belly sh with fire, unexpectedlyunching two air-to-air missiles, each targeting one of the F-16 fighters.


    As the piercing rm from the onboard radar sounded, Jerry and Carl were taken aback and instinctively performed evasive maneuvers.


    At this critical moment, Yan Fei''s Drone Avatar finally arrived. Its "Predator Drone" appearance sessfully deceived the US Army pilots, and under theircency, it advanced close to them andunched a missile attack on the two F-16 fighters.


    Guided by Quantum Radar, the two air-to-air missiles attacked the F-16 fighters. While the F-16s were trying to evade and deploy decoy res to distract the missiles, they didn''t expect that the drone was equipped with what could be called ''ck technology'' Quantum Radar. The decoy res failed to function under the radar''s lock, and the missiles bypassed the res'' temptation, streaking towards their true targets.


    The missilesunched by the drone were AIM-92s, which are the airunched models of the notorious Stinger missiles. They have a maximum flight speed of Mach 2.2, with a maximum attack range of 10 kilometers.


    Jerry''s fighter jet was less than two kilometers away from the drone and, at such a short distance, he couldn''t elerate his fighter to its maximum speed of 2.5 Mach. Therefore, he was unable to evade the AIM-92 missile attack that reached a top speed of 2.2 Mach.


    The AIM-92 missile breached the decoy res'' deception and flew toward its true target. A sh of fire burst in the sky as Jerry''s F-16 was hit by the missile, exploding mid-air. In shock, Jerry didn''t even have time to eject before he and his F-16 were obliterated.
