“Number 25688 has boarded…”

“Number 25688 is checking the status of the aircraft…”

“Received!”

“Starting the main power switch…”

“The main power switch is activated, power is fine!”

“Activating the left and right magnetic electric engine switch…” “The left and right magnetic electric engine is on, engine is fine!”

“Switching on the fly-by-wire system…”

“The fly-by-wire system is activated…”

“Number 25688 calling the tower, the warplane is in perfect condition, requesting start-up!”

Despite the arrival of the Apocalypse, the pilot still maintains good habits, completing the whole process before requesting takeoff. “Number 25688 adjust radio to All-Z55 frequency…”

“Adjusted…”

“Number 25688 enters the predetermined orbit and begins taxiing…”

The warplanes of the Nanyuan Military District did not relocate with the troops, but stayed at the original base airport, and the entire air force was stationed there.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the air force, Wang Dezhen specially left a piece of Dawn Stone in the air base.

After all, having complete air supremacy, they could keep in uninterrupted contact with the Arctic Circle.

“Number 25688 has taken off, speed is 388…”

“Retracting the landing gear, opening the flaps, preparing to climb…”

The J-22, carrying two Battle Axe cruise missiles, quickly ascended, and did not stop climbing until it reached the stratosphere, ten thousand meters above the ground.

“Number 25688’s target is Luo An city, activating radar detection mode…”

As a domestically produced fifth-generation fighter, the aircraft’s data is among the best in the world, and it didn’t take long to fly over Luo An City. “Activating fire-control radar, using electronic scanning to locate targets…”

Under the command of the ground tower, the aircraft methodically searched.

The north of Luo An City is already covered with rapidly growing trees. Even with a giant tiger’s height of thirty meters, it is still impossible to directly see it and can only scan with radar.

After dark, Du Gang left the safe zone and entered the wilderness. He stopped outside a spatial channel three kilometers from the temporary base.

Now that he had collaborated with Wang Dezhen, he needed to maximize his benefits.

Hunting one golden beetle, is equivalent to twenty red crystals.

Last time he fought for two and a half hours, he killed 153 golden beetles.

Which means he could kill around 60 an hour.

Before setting off, Du Gang took a look at the time it got dark.

“It’s about eight o’clock when it gets dark, I’m in the northern hemisphere, today is July 12th, the daylight in Luo An city is thirteen hours, thirty-five minutes, and eight seconds…”

“So, I have around ten hours to hunt beetles!”

The reason Du Gang came here at night is because there is a spatial channel, where he can hunt non-stop without changing location.

It’s different during the day, despite the beetles being asleep, he still needs to look for them one by one, which is a waste of time.

During the day, the military sends out a large number of pioneer teams to specifically collect the beetles’ crystals.

Given the efficiency of these soldiers, if he wanted to snatch a few golden beetles, he would have to go far, wasting too much time!

So, he decided to hunt at night and rest during the day.

“Ten hours, I should be able to hunt around six hundred golden beetles!”

While calculating, Du Gang manifested the Ancient God’s Spear, raised his arm, and with a forceful throw, instantly skewered a golden beetle that had just crawled out of the spatial channel.

“One for twenty red crystals, that’s twelve thousand red crystals, around twenty to thirty thousand Source Energy!”

Being able to gather twenty to thirty thousand Source Energy in one night, Du Gang excitedly manifested the Ancient God’s Spear again, and started to slaughter the Black Beetles.

“Target detected by Unit 25688…” “Unit 25688 switches to radar lock mode…”

“Unit 25688 ignites missile power…”

“Unit 25688 starts cooling warhead for preparing close-range heat track mode attack on target…”

The fighter jet continues to patrol back and forth at an altitude of 10,000 meters, but its radar system has long locked onto the forest north of Luo An City.

Once the warhead is cooled enough, it will issue an attack command.

However, the giant tiger, unaware at this moment, is still roaming around the forest, maintaining its prior habits: sleeping in the daytime, hunting at night.

Except for initially feasting on bugged animals, when it got stronger, it mostly returned to night hunting.

After all, it is the king of the forest, and prefers hunting live prey to eating dead bugs. Living prey signifies non-rotten flesh, and also, hunting it can hone and maintain the tiger’s natural instincts. “Warhead cooling completed…” “Disengage safety system…”

“Safety removed…”

“Fire!”

With a command from the control tower, Unit 25688 finally pressed the red button to launch the missile.

In a flash, a Battle Axe Missile mounted under the aircraft body instantly propelled out, diving towards a forest on the ground.

At the same time, Wang Dezhen and others in the temporary command center of Luo An city also stepped out of the command vehicle, lifting their heads to look northward.

Less than three seconds had passed, a fierce white light suddenly appeared.

It illuminated the entire northern sky, at that moment, it was as if the sun had reappeared for a brief flash.

“Was it successful?”

Everyone subconsciously closed their eyes to avoid the sudden intense light, then stared unblinkingly back at the north.

Soon, Unit 25688 sent back news.

“Missile successfully hit the target…”

“Target is injured, target is fleeing northward…”

Wang Dezhen excitedly said, “Quickly, ask how severe is the tiger’s injury…”

Unit 25688 reported, “Just before the missile was about to hit, the target suddenly stretched out its paw, and swatted…”

Li Yi looked stupefied and incredulously asked, “Are you kidding me? The missile was traveling at a speed of twenty thousand kilometers per hour, how could the bloodv tizer react in time?”

Li Youcai glanced at him and disdainfully replied, “Ignorant, what you’re talking about is the fall speed; it’s only possible if it leaves the atmosphere. The aircraft is only at an altitude of ten thousand meters; the speed can’t be that fast…”

Li Yi was not bothered by his mockery, and exclaimed in shock, “That’s still inconceivable, swatting away a missile barehanded!”

Finally, Unit 25688 announced the crucial information.

“The target’s paw was bleeding from the blast… The target is lightly injured…”

“Lightly injured…”

All those present took a sharp intake of breath.

Instead of saying that the giant tiger was injured and ran off, it’s better to say that it fled due to being frightened.

Near the Spatial Channels, Du Gang looked at the sudden white light in the distance, puzzled.

“Looking at the direction, it doesn’t seem to be from the base…”

Upon thinking this, he raised his head and shouted towards the sky, “Eagle, is there a situation at the base?”

Soon, the eagle, hovering in the sky, flew down and from the electronic device on its body, the voice of the hunting dog came out.

“No situation, the commander has sent out a fighter jet to the north to attack the monster!”

Both the eagle and hunting dog were those who previously tracked Du Gang. Coincidentally, Wang Dezhen had assigned them to be the specialized officers to calculate Du Gang’s bug killing count; they were indeed familiar faces.

About a minute later did Du Gang’s side hear the rumbling explosion sound.

Hearing this sound, Du Gang was relieved. Given the speed of sound propagation, the explosion site was more than twenty kilometers away from the base.

After making sure that the base was safe, he began hunting bugs again.. Above all else, nothing was more important than his own strength enhancement!
