Chapter 54 Raindrops
The white light dissipated, and Rong Yuan looked at the object in front of him that he had just exchanged.
It is about three meters high and six meters long, with a slightly pointed front and a flat back. There are cute auxiliary wings on each side. The silver-white fuselage has a streamlined design and an incredibly smooth surface. Even a fly would probably slide off if it stood on it.
This is the [Rain Shuttle] worth 350,000 merits. It is a single-person aircraft that combines the comprehensive functions of combat, reconnaissance, protection, concealment and speed. It can reach a speed of 20 kilometers per second. It is resistant to high pressure, high temperature, freezing, corrosion, and radiation. After the protective layer on the surface is turned on, it can also resist sonic attacks and optical weapon attacks. In the Merit Mall, it is not the fastest and has a single weapon, but it has the best safety protection and the most comprehensive functions. After comparing, Rong Yuan confirmed the exchange.
The energy source of the Rain Shuttle Flying Vehicle is a non-renewable energy core called [Originium]. It takes 100,000 merits to exchange one, but it can be used for a long time. If it is flying alone, one Originium can keep the Rain Shuttle flying for a full 200 years.
The Yusuo operating system is divided into two types: intelligent operation and manual operation. In intelligent operation, as long as the destination is given, the system can make its own judgments, whether flying, fighting, or dodging; manual operation requires mastering the use of a very complex operating platform, but it is more flexible and maneuverable. Really good pilots will choose manual operation.
But Rong Yuan didn't have so much time to familiarize himself with its operating platform. He directly chose the simplest intelligent operation. After a command, the hatch of Yusuo opened like wings. Rong Yuan climbed up and sat in the driver's seat by holding the handrail beside him. The seat belt popped out beside the seat to secure his body. Wandou jumped onto the operating table, connected the optical brain to the operating system of Yusuo, and imported the topography, longitude and latitude coordinates, language system, etc. of the earth's surface. Rong Yuan opened the setting panel from the holographic platform and made the most basic settings for the flight operation of Yusuo.
"The preparations are complete, we can get ready for flight." Pea said as he put away his light brain.
Rong Yuan entered the command with a sullen face. With a pleasant buzzing sound, all the indicator lights in the aircraft lit up at the same time, and then most of them went out again. On the screen in front of him, a star map flashed like a computer startup screen, and then a stream of data flowed down like a waterfall. After the rain shuttle had completed the self-check and all the functional systems were operating normally and the energy was sufficient, the fuselage trembled slightly and slowly rose from the ground. A layer of transparent film like a soap bubble wrapped around the entire fuselage, and colorful dazzling colors swept across the surface of the fuselage like water waves. If someone was outside, they could see that the rain shuttle became looming in the air, and soon not even a shadow could be seen.
This is the stealth function of Yusuo. At this moment, let alone the naked eye, with the current level of technology, no search radar can detect it.
After becoming completely invisible, a big hole was suddenly pierced silently on the top floor of the abandoned warehouse, and then a strong wind blew up from the ground, and some surrounding objects such as metal barrels or wood chips were blown in all directions. If you look down from the air, you can see smoke and dust scattered, and the surrounding air exploded in an instant.
Zhou Yuan was pushing a tricycle and bargaining with the owner of the recycling station about the two large bags of beverage bottles piled high on the tricycle when she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing over her head, blowing her hair up and chilling her neck. She looked up in confusion. The sun was shining brightly, and the national flag hanging on the school flagpole in the distance was lazily not fluttering. But leaves that had been forcibly stripped from the branches by the strong wind were floating all over the sky.
"This weather is really weird." Zhou Yuan muttered and continued to argue with the boss over a few cents for a drink bottle.
The only thing that can prove the existence of the invisible rain shuttle is the abnormal flow of air caused by its high-speed flight. When it flies high enough, you can even see a thin line cut through the clouds.
…
To many people, Mura's address was not a secret.
l is a mountainous country. Mula's residence is at the junction of mountains and plains. A river flows down from the mountain. After being artificially diverted, the river meanders around Mula's residence. It not only plays a certain defensive role, but also is a kind of show-off. In this agricultural country with scarce rain and water, a river can play a very important role in people's lives.
Everyone here knows that this plain and the mountains behind it are all private property of Mura. In country L, opium is a legal agricultural crop. Mura not only owns a large poppy plantation, but also engages in other businesses, such as arms smuggling, kidnapping, political investment, etc. The new party in country L that came to power a few years ago came to power with the support of Mura, but the other party probably didn't expect that Mura would cause him such a big trouble so soon.
There are many political parties in the country, and it is common for one party to take over and another to take over. Sometimes, the person in power changes every few years. For many civilians, they may not know who is the president sitting on that seat now, because he will not be in office for long anyway, but they will know the name of Mura, who has ruled this area for more than 30 years. Here, he has the real intimidation power to cure children's night cries.
In front and behind Mura's house, there were armed men wearing black and green uniforms with their heads covered in black hoods, leaving only their eyes and mouths exposed. These people were Mura's private army, and each of them was armed with live ammunition. They had the right to kill any stranger who approached or invaded this place without notification. Mura's private army was far superior to the current government army in terms of numbers, force, equipment and loyalty.
This is also the reason why the government of Country L, facing pressure from various major powers including Country Z, only speaks official words. Because it can cheat against civilized countries, but if it wants to turn the gun against its benefactor, he has no doubt that someone will put a bullet in his head the next day.
Most countries cannot tolerate Mulla's billion-dollar hunting order, and even some countries hostile to Country Z have issued warning statements. If Mulla joins in paying a billion to hunt down a government official, even if the person is in the highest position, there will be people who gloat and express support and understanding; but when his gun is pointed at the children of government officials, it touches everyone's reverse scale. Everyone has a family, and no one wants their family to be hunted down endlessly because of their work. Mulla, who has stepped on the bottom line, has become the public enemy of all forces.
Therefore, in recent times, several battles have suddenly broken out near Mura's manor almost every day, infiltration, assassination, violent assault - these armed fighters who never reveal their nationality continue to attack as tirelessly as death. Although every attack was blocked by Mura's defense force comparable to that of a small country, everyone knows that the other side will continue to increase its combat power, and it is only a matter of time before the manor is breached.
Another small-scale battle ended, this time the battlefield was only a hundred meters away from where Mura was. Mura was playing with a cigar between his fingers, standing by the window and watching his subordinates drag the bodies of several companions down.
On the surface, Mula looked like an ordinary old man from Country L. His skin was tanned by the sun, his cheeks were covered with black beard, and his face was deeply wrinkled, making him look very sad. But when he smiled, his wrinkles were smoothed out, and he looked amiable. His clothes were not gorgeous, and the style was very ordinary, but the fabric was as soft as water, and it was very comfortable to wear.
In contrast to the man's superficial simplicity, his room, whether it was the carpet under his feet, the carvings on the window frames, the chandelier above his head, the coffee table in front of the sofa, or an inconspicuous ornament on the table, all vividly expressed how wealthy the owner of this room was, as if he wanted to build a golden house. People who came here for the first time, just by looking at this room, felt a level of inferiority for no reason.
"Mura!" A man rushed in from the door. He looked somewhat similar to Mura, but younger and stronger.
The man saw Mura standing at the window, and his angry expression froze, as if he was afraid of the man in front of him and did not dare to continue questioning. He paused, then softened his tone and said, "Brother, what do you want?"
Mura didn't look back. He flicked his cigar and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The man advised: "Brother, Ash is dead. Are you trying to drag us all into the abyss by angering Country Z? You have killed enough people now. Stop it, brother. We don't have the power to fight against a country."
"Fight?" Mura laughed sarcastically. "I don't want to fight with anyone, my dear brother. I'm just seeking revenge."
"But if you do this..." The man gritted his teeth and said, "This is crazy and will kill us."
"Do you think I care?" Mura finally came to his senses. He looked at the young and strong body of the man and the panic that could not be concealed on his face. He said tiredly: "Demo, my brother, do you think I really don't know why Ash suddenly went to Country Z to discuss the deal?"
Demo's face changed drastically and his expression twisted in an instant.
"My son is a fool, greedy, stupid, and arrogant." Mura said with a cold look in his eyes, "But he is my son, my only flesh and blood. Do you think I will let you go and let you inherit my business after he dies? No, I would rather destroy him than leave you a single cent!"
"You...you did it on purpose! You lunatic!" Demo screamed. He didn't expect that Mura would destroy the drug empire he built in order to retaliate against them.
…
Twenty kilometers in the air, Rong Yuan was also watching the quarrel on the aircraft's display screen, with Wandou translating in real time beside him.
His hand had been stroking a button next to him. At the front end of the Yusuo aircraft, a gun muzzle was accumulating power, ready to fire.
