Chapter 350: 350. Five-star good citizen
At this moment, although the live audience could not hear what Lu Yao and Janis were exchanging, it did not prevent them from making all sorts of speculations.
["This blonde woman, she's the deputy director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau's External Action Division, and also the head of their agents—Agent Janice"]
["I remember the first time Lu Yao hijacked a plane, it was because of her plan, and this time it's because of her arrest!"]
["Don't forget, the Foreign Affairs Bureau also captured Lu Yao's only relative, his uncle's family"]
["It seems there's been a vendetta between the two sides for a long time..."]
…
Suddenly, conspiracy theories were rampant, and netizens believed—there must be something fishy~
At that time, someone said:
["Lu Yao seems to have flipped something out of the car, a hard drive?"]
Those who watched the paid HD live broadcast captured a screenshot, and after further enhancement by online gurus, it was indeed found to be a hard drive!
Suddenly, netizens around the world were extremely interested in the contents inside.
However, a few top-level authorities in the Star Alliance Country turned pale upon seeing this scene and immediately granted the "Joint Task Force Headquarters" the authority to open fire at will.
It must be known that this was happening within the capital city, where many powerful weapons were not authorized for use, but at that time, they could not care less!
Even if they couldn't kill Lu Yao, they had to shatter the hard drive he carried.
~~~~~~~~~
At this moment on Lu Yao's side.
Agent Janis's eyes and nostrils were bleeding profusely, her thinking was not very clear, and she looked somewhat stunted.
The human brain is incredibly intricate yet highly fragile, and suffering back-to-back defeats in mental defenses during fierce combat had already caused irreversible damage.
Lu Yao grabbed her and rushed towards "Andrew" Air Force Base to retrieve his nuclear bomb.
This woman's mind still held plenty of explosive information, perfect for an interrogation along the way.
However, they had not gone far and were in a rather disordered street area when a deafening roar came from the sky!
At that moment, inside the "Joint Task Force Headquarters," Commander Jackson was giving orders:
["The target is extremely dangerous, authorization is given to use weapons of mass destruction! Repeat, authorization is given to use weapons of mass destruction!"]
["Received, Commander. We have locked on the target"]
Three A-10 attack aircraft formed a formation, roaring as they swiftly streaked across the sky.
["Arriving at the attack position, weapons ready, prepare to attack"]
["Fire at will!"]
The cannons of the three warplanes suddenly fired, unleashing trajectories of death.
This was the "Avenger Gatling Gun," similar in appearance to the "Fire God Cannon" used by Lu Yao, but with a larger caliber and greater power!
The cannonballs were as big as beer bottles, and with a firing rate of an astonishing 4200 rounds per minute, they were specially designed to combat tanks.
The simultaneous gunfire from the three cannons was like a torrential downpour, the 30MM Armor-Piercing Incendiary Shells forming a terrifying red wave that easily crushed everything in its path.
Half the street was pulverized, and the buildings were shattered like biscuits.
Lu Yao leaped to the left side just in time to dodge this horrifying barrage.
Before he could catch his breath, a "Maverick" air-to-ground missile detached from its wing mount and sped towards him relentlessly! These warplanes showed no consideration for Janis who Lu Yao was holding in his hands!
Lu Yao did not rush to dodge, knowing that the missile was capable of tracking.
With the Spirit Refining State fully activated, the missile appeared extremely slow to him. Just before it was about to hit, he propelled himself off the ground, leaping nearly a hundred meters in a bound!
The missile futilely struck the ground, blasting a huge crater in the road and sending dirt, debris, and miscellaneous objects skyrocketing like fireworks.
These objects turned into shrapnel, shooting around densely, and while Lu Yao himself was virtually unharmed, Janis, whom he was holding, was torn to pieces by friendly fire.
Shrugging off her remains, Lu Yao didn't seem to care much; after all, for the female agent, it was merely a matter of dying sooner rather than later.
And he didn't even have time to catch his breath before the second missile came!
Lu Yao pushed off the ground, his figure leaving afterimages and a sound of tearing air as he zipped to another street in the blink of an eye.
The missile struck a supermarket, instantly turning it into a sea of flames, but Lu Yao remained completely unharmed!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Even though the mission briefing made it clear—the target was no ordinary person, the three pilots flying the A10s couldn't help but cry out:
[ What the FUCK!]
[What the hell is that?!]
For the first time in their careers, they witnessed someone outrunning a missile on foot!
[Target not cleared, preparing to re-engage.]
The three fighter jets circled back, ready to launch another attack.
But the street was already a ruin, with thick smoke billowing and flames reaching the sky; the fire control system temporarily lost track of the target.
It was the military drones that first spotted Lu Yao, and the Commander roared a warning, "He's right below you! Watch out!"
There Lu Yao was, crouched down on the ground, seemingly busy with something.
The three attack planes were not about to show mercy; they locked onto the target and, while diving for a strafing attack, fired their missiles!
At that moment, his heart sent a continuous stream of energy throughout his body; the Innate True Qi strengthened his bones and muscles, causing a sound akin to metallic stretching and churning, as if springs were stretched to their limits.
The next second, the "Star Plucking Body" was fully activated; Lu Yao suddenly exerted his strength, blasting a huge crater into the highway below,
His body took on a perfect streamlined shape to reduce drag, while his legs turned the displaced air into a force lifting his body; amidst the screeching noise, he shot up into the sky!
And one of the A10s in a dive suddenly realized, the target was now face-to-face with itself!
[God, this is impossible! He's flying at us! Help!]
The pilot yelled in panic, watching as Lu Yao rapidly approached and then fiercely pounced on the nose of the aircraft!
The Commander hurriedly shouted, "Eject! Eject now!"
Lu Yao had already ripped open the cockpit cover, pulled out the pilot, and casually tossed him aside, letting him scream as he turned into a black dot disappearing from sight.
Then Lu Yao himself settled into the cockpit, just like that, hijacking a plane — and it even had a convertible top~
At this moment, the audience watching the live broadcast was in an uproar, someone actually hijacked a fighter jet the way you'd steal a car in GTA!
They even recalled that Lu Yao had stolen Star Alliance Country's fighter jets twice before, so he definitely knew how to fly one!
Sure enough, the A10 attack plane shook for a moment in the air before swiftly stabilizing.
Such planes are designed for ground attacks and are not equipped for air defense, but in the hands of a Spirit Refining master, anything is possible.
There Lu Yao handled the fighter with even more agility and grace, abruptly flying above an allied plane.
Amidst the noise like a drill piercing through a wall, the "Avenger Gatling Gun" fired fiercely; one attack plane was blown up mid-air, turning into a ball of thick smoke and flames!
The other attack plane, still not comprehending what had happened, fled in a blind panic,
but Lu Yao, in full Spirit Refining State, locked onto it and the Gatling Gun opened fire from a distance of 3 kilometers!
The continuous stream of cannonballs precisely swept across the plane's body, and the opponent was then blasted in mid-air, parts scattering in all directions amid the violent explosion.
As the last wisp of smoke cleared, calm returned to the sky, leaving the stunned viewers speechless for a long while.
~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao, controlling the A10 attack aircraft, headed straight for Andrew Air Force Base at an even faster speed.
This scenario completely exceeded the imagination of the "Joint Forces Commander," who hurriedly ordered the F15s at the airbase to take off and intercept.
In those few minutes, Lu Yao had already thoroughly familiarized himself with the A10 attack plane's operation, flying it even more smoothly.
Two F15s immediately took off, roaring towards him.
Logically speaking, these fourth-generation fighter jets completely outperformed the A10 in every aspect, and since the A10 was specifically meant for ground attack, it shouldn't stand a chance in aerial combat.
Who knows how many people were eagerly anticipating the drama that would unfold next.
