The huge energy from the missile explosion pushed Tony out hard, disrupting his flight rhythm and causing panic. The Mark III could not help but drop several hundred meters before it regained its balance.
He flew up again and returned to the clouds.
The well-trained Divine Whip No. 1 followed behind and began to fire with the heavy machine gun on the plane.
The bullet formed a whip that swung in the air.
Tony tried to evade, but a few bullets still hit him, knocking the Mark III crooked.
This is not a solution. Tony is too passive.
"Open the ailerons."
The ailerons behind him used for emergency braking opened, instantly slowing down Tony's speed. Combined with the speed of the fighter, Tony came behind the fighter.
While Whip No. 1 was slowing down, Tony accelerated again and hid directly under the fuselage of the fighter.
Leo was still flying willfully in front of the fighter plane. No matter whether the Whip No. 2 fired bullets or missiles, none of them hit the small silver shadow.
Under Leo's control, the machine gun bullets passed by a few centimeters beside him, and the missiles were all shot to the side and could not get close to him at all.
But the pilot of the Shenbian-2 just thought that his bullet missed the target, he was unlucky, and there was an error in the missile's guidance system.
But none of the shots hit the target, and the pilot began to doubt his life.
Whip No. 1 thought it had destroyed the target, so it reported to the command room and approached Whip No. 2 to help shoot down another mysterious target.
Tony, who was hiding under the plane, couldn't bear it anymore.
Whether it was the previous tank shell, or the Sidewinder missile and machine gun bullets just now, Tony was already very tired and felt a little unwell.
Rhodes' personal cell phone rang. It was Tony Stark calling back.
Seeing the caller ID, Rhodes, who knew Tony's character well, guessed something. He looked nervous and walked aside to answer the phone.
"Hi, Rod, it's me."
"What?"
"I'm sorry, it's me. The flying object you were asking about just now was me."
"Stop it, listen, this isn't a game. You can't bring civilian equipment into my battlefield. Do you understand?"
"That's not a device, I'm inside it, it's a shell, and I'm the flying object!"
Tony shouted nervously. The armor equipment outside the fuselage had been damaged, and even his virtual panel began to become unstable.
Moreover, the two fighter jets have gathered together and are now chasing Leo. Tony didn't care about anything else and told his friend, and Tony was relieved.
Rhode couldn't accept it for a moment, staring blankly at the silver figure on the screen, "Tony has become smaller?"
The two fighter planes fired at Leo at the same time, and countless bullets shot towards Leo.
With only 19 points of spirit, Leo was unable to control all the bullets so accurately. He had to wave his hand, and all the bullets consciously avoided him, forming an abnormal blank area in the barrage.
Leo even wanted to turn off the fighter plane directly, but he realized that Tony was still hiding under the plane and the pilot was just an uninformed person who was following orders, so he didn't do anything so drastic.
However, Whip No. 2 still discovered the figure under the body of Whip No. 1 and informed it.
Whip No. 1 began to accelerate and spin wildly. After a few circles, Tony could not hold on any longer. His hands loosened and he flew backwards.
It passed by Leo and smashed into the Condor II behind him.
Leo grabbed hold of Mark III and pulled it to his side.
"Mr. Stark, I think we need to speed up a bit."
Leo looked at the two fighter planes chasing him.
With a determined heart, the golden light on his body became brighter, and the speed increased directly from Mach 1 to Mach 3, which was also Leo's temporary maximum speed.
The two fighter planes were thrown far away at once.
"Chase it, re-lock it, and if there is a chance, shoot it down directly." The colonel in the command room shouted loudly.
The two fighter planes increased their speed again and caught up with the enemy behind them.
"Colonel, we don't know what we are going to shoot at yet. Recall the fighter planes," Rhodes said, stopping the colonel.
"That thing appeared in the legally prohibited flying zone and did not respond. Divine Whip One, if you have the chance, shoot it down immediately."
The colonel in the command room is not afraid of Colonel Rhodes from the weapons research and development department.
The two fighter planes continued to shoot at the two men. At the same time, the Mark III could not withstand such a high speed for a long time, and the projected image was already very unstable.
"Leo, the Mark III cannot withstand such a high speed. I hope Rod can let the plane leave as soon as possible." Stark shouted.
"Mr. Stark, do you want to shoot down these two planes?"
"don't want..."
The two fighter planes fired countless bullets again, passing by the two men.
"Maybe we can shoot one down and ensure the pilot's safety. At worst, I'll just have to pay for the plane."
Leo flipped his hand, and both wings of the Whip No. 1 fighter broke at the same time, emitting flames. The fuselage could no longer fly stably, began to spin, and fell rapidly.
"Eject and parachute, jump quickly!!"
The cabin opened and a figure ejected.
The fighter plane slowed down and Leo let go of the Mark III.
"Sir, a malfunction has been detected in the parachuting pilot's equipment."
Jarvis said, scanning for Tony's attention.
Flames burst out from the tail of the Mark III, and it quickly rushed downwards, following closely behind the falling figure.
The command room was in chaos. If there were any casualties, it would cause huge social outcry, and they would all bear heavy responsibility.
Leo also rushed down, and the Divine Whip No. 2 continued to swoop down.
The atmosphere in the command room was extremely tense. It seemed that everyone had judged the movements of the flying object and was praying silently.
Mark III chased after him and opened the parachute trigger with a punch, and the parachute successfully opened.
There was also a frenzy in the command room, and everyone cheered.
Rhodes tried to dissuade them and forcibly called back Whip No. 2. With the nose of the plane raised, Whip No. 1 took off again and prepared to return.
Rhodes' voice came from inside the Mark III, "Tony, are you still listening?"
"Hey, thanks."
"Oh my god, you bastard, are you crazy?" Rhode said with a fearful yet relieved smile, "You owe me a fighter plane, you know that, right?"
"But strictly speaking, I saved one too, didn't I?" Tony laughed happily.
"Would you like to come and see what I'm researching?"
"No, no, no, the less I know, the better. How am I going to explain this to the media now?"
"It's just a drill. Isn't that how you usually fool around?"
...
Leo listened to Tony and Rod's stories along the way and flew back to the beach villa in Malibu.
On Rhodes' side, the media heard the news and quickly gathered at the government departments. The Air Force also immediately held a press conference.
Rhodes still used the exercise training trick to talk about this flight accident, and also explained some of the conditions in the town of Gemila, clarifying that the US government was absolutely not involved in the explosion.
Obaday sat at home watching the live broadcast on TV, frowned, and found that things were not simple.
"Contact my plane, I'm going to Gemila." Obaday raised the phone in his hand.
