Chapter 597 Air Raid

……

Yagunaktor, core power room, frontline supply base.

"What's going on? The transport plane taken by the experts of the research institute deviated from the course?" Ke Lan asked several other people participating in the teleconference on the screen.

"According to our judgment, there is a high probability that the transport plane has been hijacked." Schroeder said with a serious face, "The situation is not optimistic."

"Who leads the team responsible for escorting these experts?" Ke Lan asked again.

"It's Lin Qiming." A familiar name came out of Schroeder's mouth.

"I remember that only you, Lin Qiming, and professor-level personnel in the research institute have the authority to view this news... By the way, how many surviving professors are there in the research institute?"

"A total of six professors, except for Dr. Norrison on the plane, the other five professors have been controlled by us." Schroeder said, "But I can basically confirm that the news did not leak out from their side."

"But apart from us, there is another group of people who know the news..." Schroeder said again.

"Don't...don't stare at me!" Ye Yan panicked and waved his hands again and again, "Although the transport plane was provided by our Ye family, I can guarantee that no matter whether it is the port and airport staff or the crew , They don’t even know the content of the mission and the identity of the passengers... They only know that they are going to escort a batch of expensive equipment to Yagunaktor, and all other information is kept confidential!”

"Are you sure?" Schroeder's tone was suspicious.

"I'm sure! The only person who knows about this is the person in charge of making the contact. That person is my second uncle. He can't be a member of a heretical sect." Ye Yan said confidently.

Ye Yan's second uncle, Ke Lan, has also had contact several times. He has a very high status and prestige within the Ye family, and is almost on an equal footing with the head of the family. If even a role like him is a pawn placed by a heretic sect, then The entire Ye family probably has something to do with heresy sects.

If it is placed in a general TV series or novel, Ye Yan's second uncle may choose to "cooperate" with external forces such as heretical sects because he is unwilling to be only the second in command, but the problem is that the inheritance system of the Ye family adopts The most important thing is to select the best person from all the descendants to be the next head of the family, and the best young man in the Ye family's generation is not Ye Yan, but Ye Yan's cousin—that is, the son of his second uncle. son.

Ye Yan has repeatedly stated in public that he has no interest in being the head of the family. He prefers to be a playboy rather than spend all day in the office reviewing endless files. The next Patriarch is almost a certainty.

From this point of view, Ye Yan's second uncle had absolutely no motive or reason to betray him.

"By the way, Ye Yan, can you guys get in touch with this Hercules transport plane?" Ke Lan asked.

"I can't get in touch. The transport plane unilaterally cut off the communication." Ye Yan sighed, "I have already sent you the list of crew members... To be honest, I don't know who is the traitor."

"The rescue operation is very difficult without the plane landing ... We have to prepare for the best and the worst," Schroeder said.

"What's the worst plan?" The fat on Ye Yan's face throbbed violently.

"Shoot down the plane—even if you kill these experts, it's better than letting them fall into the hands of heretic sects." The expression on Schroeder's face was very decisive.

"That's a last resort. Before that, let's find a way to organize a rescue operation." Ke Lan said.

"Ke Lan, you can tell me what you think, as long as our Ye family can do it, we will fully cooperate." Ye Yan immediately echoed.

He didn't want the matter to really develop to that point - the loss of a Hercules transport plane probably wasn't even a drizzle to the Ye family, but the lives of those people on the plane... that responsibility is not the Ye family's responsibility I can afford it... Although the Ye family consortium is an unshakable colossus in the eyes of ordinary people, only they know that if the members of the Undead Crew Association want to cleanse the Ye family, the Ye family will not even have a chance to resist There will be.

"I just looked through the list of crew members you sent me, and I always feel that...even if the heretic sect wants to place a pawn in the Ye family's consortium, it is impossible for the entire crew to belong to them...not to mention, this operation It was a temporary decision, and the Hercules transport plane happened to be free, so if it happens that the whole crew is a ghost, I think you can buy a lottery ticket."

Ke Lan paused, and continued: "No, even buying a lottery ticket is not such an outrageous thing. After all, it is equivalent to winning a lottery ticket with a total prize pool of 5 million. It is simply impossible."

"Airport." Schroeder said suddenly, "Contact the airport's console and ask them to monitor the entire airport's monitoring equipment, and don't let go of any corner. In addition, call out the list of all people entering and exiting Yong'an Port today."

"Okay, okay!" Ye Yan replied.

"Chief Schroeder, do you suspect that someone sneaked into the airport and mixed up the plane?" The representative of the Security Bureau who had not spoken much asked.

"It's not that someone got on the plane, I think... the crew was swapped." Schroeder said word by word.

"Swapping? These crew members should be familiar with each other, right? If there are strangers mixed in, they should be recognized immediately?" The representative of the Security Bureau asked doubtfully.

"Then suppose the entire flight crew...is all transferred? There are so many planes and airships entering and leaving the airport every day, and the ground staff at the airport may not know every flight crew member." Schroeder said.

Before the person from the Security Bureau could say anything, Ye Yan, who disappeared from the screen for a few minutes, hurried back and said, "The inspection results are out! There are six cameras on the periphery of Yong'an Port that have been artificially destroyed. The monitoring room The computer in the airport was also found to have been implanted with a Trojan horse. In addition, the cameras in the restrooms and locker rooms on the first floor of the airport were all destroyed, and the security inspection equipment at gates [-] and [-] had inexplicable failures!"

"What about the entry and exit list?"

"I haven't figured it out for a while. I was just delivered by Yaguna Ketor today. The flow of people entering and leaving Yong'an Port is not [-] but [-]... Wait! Just now there is news from the airport that three people are missing. Haven't found it yet!"

"Three people? Which three people?" Ke Lan asked.

"Two are security guards at the airport, and one is a 'water supply and drainage engineer' invited by the airport..."

"Water supply and drainage engineer? Why, the airport's drainage pipes also failed?" Schroeder asked, "Could it be that these sneaked into the airport from the pipe system?"

"It was the self-disciplined dredging robot in the pipeline that got stuck on the track, and then the maintenance robot seemed to be stuck too, so we had to start the manual troubleshooting process... But this engineer named Jimmy Garrigan entered the airport. It didn't take long before he disappeared, and no one knows where he went."

"Could it be that this Jimmy Garrigan belongs to a heretic sect..." Before the person from the Security Bureau finished speaking, Ye Yan interrupted him: "Well, when Jimmy Garrigan entered the airport, the transport plane had already left Yong'an Hong Kong..."

"Is this Jimmy here to overhaul the underground drainage pipe?" Ke Lan asked suddenly.

"Yes." Ye Yan nodded.

"Where is the entrance to the underground drainage pipe?" Ke Lan asked again.

"There should be several entrances...but the commonly used entrances are either in the water room or in the bathroom..."

"Did you just say that the cameras in the bathroom and the locker room were destroyed? Hurry up, organize a team to go to the bathroom where the camera was destroyed, and enter the underground pipe from the entrance over there! There must be something down there!"

"I'll send someone to do it right away!"

"Where is this transport plane now?" Ke Lan looked at the security bureau representative again and asked.

"The Ark is 1100 kilometers due north, and it is still flying northward. The First Fleet has dispatched two fighter formations to intercept it... But the other party simply ignored the warnings issued by the fighter jets." The representative of the Security Bureau had a bitter face. Said, "But without the permission from above, it is impossible for us to open fire on them..."

The permission above naturally refers to the Undead Crew Union—before the Undead Crew Union nods, neither the Crisis Management Section nor the Security Bureau has the right to shoot down the Hercules transport plane.

"Is there no other way to stop the plane?"

"Someone proposed to destroy the plane's engine, and then use the flying mecha to forcibly drag the transport plane... But we can't guarantee that after the plane loses power, the hijackers will take extreme actions... For example, killing the hostages... "

"But it is still a solution." Schroeder continued, "If Lin Qiming is not dead, he should have a way to solve the problem from the inside of the plane with the help of the chaos we created outside."

"The premise is that the strength of the hijacker is lower than that of the operatives of the Crisis Management Section... But judging from the clues we have so far, the hijacker is probably a member of a heretic sect, and the parasitic and erosive container must be indispensable. ...even, the existence of a black-clothed bishop cannot be ruled out." Ke Lan pondered.

"A bishop in black is enough to wipe out Deputy Section Chief Lin's entire team." The representative of the Security Bureau also said solemnly, "We can't pin our hopes on a person whose life or death is still uncertain."

"Section Chief Schroeder, have you contacted Lin Qiming?" Ke Lan continued to ask.

Schroeder shook his head: "The transport plane has turned on the shielding device, and the personal communication equipment they carry has been disabled."

At this moment, Ye Yan returned to the screen again. Seeing his panting appearance, it was obvious that he had run all the way back.

"Ke——Ke Ke Ke Lan! You...you, your guess is right! I, I had someone check the underground drainage system—the corpse! There are corpses below! We found a large number of corpses in the management! "

"Whose corpse?" Ke Lan, Schroeder, and the representatives of the Security Bureau suddenly tightened their expressions and asked.

"The engineer named Jimmy, and the crew's body... the entire crew of Class B was killed!" Ye Yan yelled out of breath.

"That is to say... on the current transport plane, the entire crew is disguised by hijackers." Schroeder said in a deep voice, "Even if there is no bishop in black among them, with the strength of Lin Qiming and his team, I am afraid it will not be tolerated." Optimistic... What's more, without their knowledge, the hijackers have absolute initiative..."

"Then what should we do? Apply to..." The representative of the Security Bureau stopped talking in the middle of his speech. The "application" in his mouth is naturally an action permission for the application—an action that needs to be approved by the Undead Crew Association. , necessarily the kind of operation that would involve mass casualties.

There is a good chance that what they will end up with will be the wreckage of a plane and dozens of mutilated bodies.

"Well, I'll carry out the rescue operation." Ke Lan said, standing up suddenly.

"You go...how are you going?" Schroeder was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Of course it's the high-speed fighter jets of the Zero Fleet, and I can't fly." Ke Lan smiled and said, "With the speed of the fighter jets, I should be able to catch up with the transport planes before they fly over the White Ridge Mountains."

"Then what? What are you going to do?" The representative of the Security Bureau also looked at Ke Lan suspiciously, "The fighter formation of the No. [-] Fleet followed the transport plane all the way, but there was nothing they could do about it."

"Of course, jump on the plane and kill the hijacker inside."

"??"

……

At this very moment, on the A-136 "Hercules" transport plane, Lin Qiming, holding two guns, was squatting in the aisle outside the bathroom, using a cart for storing cleaning tools as a cover, carefully looking into the cabin. Case.

There are also six "stewardesses" in first class, two on the side of the seat near them and three on the side near the cockpit.The eight officers of the Crisis Management Section are scattered in every corner of the first-class cabin. If he jumps out to shoot and issue orders to his subordinates, he should be able to cooperate with his subordinates to kill these "stewardesses" immediately and control them. First class—but the problem is that his subordinates can kill the flight attendants, but they cannot kill the monsters lurking in their bodies.

Although every operator carried active ammunition, the barrels and magazines were still loaded with conventional ammunition. Even Lin Qiming himself only changed the magazines after he noticed the abnormality.

It is necessary to let the subordinates prepare the active ammunition first... Lin Qiming glanced at his communication equipment, the signal shielding device on the plane has been turned on, and if he wants to convey this news to his subordinates, he can only say it himself Row.

But if she goes out by herself now, the disappearing "Helen" will definitely attract the attention of other "stewardesses", and maybe the other party will take the lead in attacking her instead.

In addition, there are also their people in the cockpit and cargo compartment. Once a battle breaks out, the first-class cabin will be flanked by front and rear, and will be in a very unfavorable situation.

Although these people do not have guns, the "Seed of Corrosion" in their bodies is a force that Lin Qiming cannot ignore, especially in the narrow and compact space of an airplane... even if they cannot keep a distance Holding active ammunition, it is also difficult to gain an advantage.

Moreover, Lin Qiming couldn't squat in this place for too long, otherwise he would attract the attention of those "stewardesses"—after all, if he had already been killed by "Helen", it didn't take too much time to hide a corpse.

I can't procrastinate any longer, I have to make a quick decision!
