Chapter 2: The Mysterious Shadow

In a daze, I don't know how long it was, but my consciousness gradually became clear.

"How's your case, Victor!"

What the? What do you mean?

A vague scene gradually appeared in front of me, what was going on?

There seemed to be someone shouting loudly. Although he could understand the meaning, Long Yun realized that it seemed to be Russian. When did he become able to understand Russian?

"Did something happen to Victor?"

It seemed to take a considerable amount of effort, and in the face of some dazzling light, Long Yun tried to open his eyes wide.

It was as if all of a sudden, he was already sitting in what seemed to be the cockpit of an airplane. The body is a tight aviation anti-load suit; Turning his heavy head, he saw the arc-shaped enclosure and the blue sky outside the glass hatch. A large pile of meters is presented in front of you, and there are light spots flickering on the green glass display in the upper left. I'm —

"Hell. Victor may be unconscious! ”

Who is Victor? Are you talking about me?

Long Yun's throat moved, causing several monotonous clicks in the headphones. He was going to say something, but he hesitated for a moment when he didn't know Russian.

In addition to the hissing sound of the headphones, there seemed to be the unique sound of jet engines running in his ears, and the feeling of constant jolting, Long Yun realized that he seemed to be in the cockpit of a fighter plane on a mission.

Oh, that's?

Somehow, seeing that there were several bright echo display points on what should be like a radar screen, Long Yun suddenly remembered something. It's not ...... Yes, MiG-29?

For Long Yun, who often spends time in air combat games, since he has a little clue, then these instruments in front of him, which seem to be chaotic at first glance, suddenly seem to have a reason to exist.

Although I don't know what's going on, but looking at the appearance of the radar and Pingxian, the fighter he is on seems to be in a state of engagement now!

Thinking of this, Long Yun suddenly cheered up.

Yes, this is the radar display, this is the level, the speedometer, the altimeter, and...... Glimpsing the target distance display given by the radar and the calculation results superimposed on it by the fire control system, Long Yun found that something should be done. He hurriedly turned on the pre-energizing switch of the missile, and at the same time switched the radar mode, preparing to input command information to the missile; A series of movements, so skilled that even he himself was a little surprised.

I don't know where the knowledge came from, although he has never had the experience of piloting a real fighter, Long Yun's operation at this time is like a veteran who has been in a hundred battles. The radar indicated that the target was approaching head-on at a distance of 55 kilometers and an altitude of 6,000 at a speed of Mach 0.8.

So, what missiles is this plane carrying now?

Long Yun instantly thought that among the standard air combat mounts of the MiG-29, the longest-range should be the R-27R. The display light on the right side of the panel indicates that the unit is indeed loaded with two, but the fire control system has not entered the locked state.

There is no need to observe the large and small meters on the panel, Long Yun immediately considered that the instructions given by the system were correct. It is said that there is still no response to the identification of friend or foe now, and according to the regulations, it should be said that it will be beaten; But looking at the head-up display, the speed of the fighter is still subsonic, and the altitude is a little more than 4,000. Such a state does not provide ideal launch conditions for the R-27, the range will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the probability of hitting a target at a distance of 50 kilometers is quite low.

I wonder in what state this plane was engaged with the enemy before? The height and speed were not very ideal, and Long Yun immediately stepped up the throttle to speed up.

At this time, Long Yun was already involuntarily immersed in the tension of the aerial confrontation, and he didn't even realize that he didn't have any ability to fly a fighter plane without a sense of space.

At this moment, as a strange feeling struck, Long Yun only felt a little black in front of him. The gauges and radar displays, which were not so clear in the first place, also seemed to become frenzied, and the alarm sounded in the cockpit for a while, and the flickering of the alarm was upsetting.

An inexplicable irritability filled his mind, and Long Yun didn't know what was going on; The noise in the headphones was getting louder and louder, almost deafening his ears. Looking up, under the dark blue sky, Long Yun didn't find any other objects.

What the hell is going on, is it an overload caused by the operation just now?

Long Yun clearly realized that although he was now suffering from a splitting headache and his vision had become very dim, his body did not feel any overload. The radar display was no longer working properly at this time, and Long Yun wanted to insist on launching the missile, but it was at this time that he finally realized that something was wrong.

-- Orientation, wrong orientation.

In the midst of lightning, Long Yun endured his headache and sorted out his entire line of thought. Judging from the navigation information, he should be on an air defense interception mission now, but if he looks down and can't see the ground, then he should be over the ocean. Recalling those obscure Russian place names, Long Yun knew where he was now: the Baltic Sea, which was the only possibility. So why is the plane now in the azimuth of 190, flying east?

What exactly is the target on the radar, if it is an enemy aircraft...... Is this possible?

Long Yun's train of thought was interrupted by a feeling of vertigo.

There seemed to be a very negative, and extremely dark, consciousness that was gradually eroding his mind; Long Yun vaguely realized that the real threat might not be those two points of light on the radar, but some mysterious power that was now guiding him dizzy.

Yes, just nearby, deeply hidden out of radar. The kind of thought that emanated, the cold and evil aura, Long Yun could clearly touch.

This...... What is it?

Almost all the instruments in the cockpit failed, Long Yun glanced at it quickly, and under the dim field of vision, he could only see that the level was still normal, and the readings of other instruments were all a mess.

Faced with a terrible experience that he had never been exposed to, Long Yun couldn't help but fall into an inexplicable panic that was difficult to break free. He sat up straight as best he could, and while controlling the fighter plane into the roll, he looked around from the cockpit of the MiG-29, which was supposed to have a very good view; But he found nothing but the deep blue sky.

Not only that, in such an unchanging dim color, Long Yun felt that he had lost his sense of speed, and it seemed that he was about to get lost in this strange and bleak space.

Nothing.

But this is clearly impossible!

Gritting his teeth, Long Yun's consciousness could still sense that the source of this qiē was nearby. With his natural instincts, he suddenly seemed to catch something, and he struggled to turn his head to look back.

He spotted a small cloud of shadows.
