Addicted 2: Chapter 64 – Just Enjoy the Show

Translation by RosySpell

Once GuYang left, ZhouLingYun followed behind.

Two police soldiers blocked his path, “Where are you going?”

He lightly swept them an eye, “To help President Gu intercept a fighter aircraft.”

“Didn’t you just say that you’re not going to help him?” The police soldiers were confused, “I just heard you say that the country’s equipment should not be used to resolve personal conflicts.”

“This is not a personal conflict. The country’s first-level pilot has been hijacked in the air. I am going to go ensure his safety. Since this is also an internal matter, it is necessary to protect the strength of the Air Force’s combatting operations.” ZhouLingYun steadily elaborated on his excuses.

The two police soldiers looked at each other, then gave a call to the police officer for authorization. After approval, one of them dragged ZhouLingYun’s arm and said, “I’ll go with you!”

———-

BaiLuoYin’s aircraft pierced through the clouds. Once it reached a high safe altitude, it began to fly at a smoother steadier pace. It’s apparent that they would be able to reach their destination without any troubles.

After a long period of silence, TongZhe was the first to speak.

“Can you smoke in the cockpit?”

BaiLuoYin, “Up to you.”

GuHai, “No.”

BaiLuoYin and GuHai both spoke at the same time, but with two contrasting views causing TongZhe to pause his hand that was holding a cigarette. BaiLuoYin had on an indifferent attitude but GuHai is clearly refusing to let him smoke. If this was a normal aircraft, it would have been fine, but smoking in this fighter aircraft could seriously interfere with the pilot’s judgement.

TongZhe glanced at BaiLuoYin. He appeared to be a very cool pilot. His figure and temperament is definitely not petty.

“Forget it.” TongZhe put the cigarette back into his pocket.

But BaiLuoYin reached toward TongZhe, “Give me one too.”

GuHai put his hand on BaiLuoYin’s hand. He softly tells him, “You can smoke when we get back. We’ll be home in less than 15 minutes.”

BaiLuoYin coldly pushed GuHai’s hand away and continued to look at TongZhe, hinting for him to give him a cigarette.

GuHai could faintly feel that BaiLuoYin’s state of mind is not well, but for the purpose of their safety, he no longer went against BaiLuoYin’s will and let them.

Soon, smoke permeated throughout the cockpit.

TongZhe had come to realize that since they have gotten in the cockpit, GuHai’s eyes have been fixated on BaiLuoYin. Beside specific time periods, he was unable to take his eyes off of him. BaiLuoYin seemed to have an aloof attitude. However, TongZhe is not sure if that was merely because flying an aircraft requires his full concentration or that he just have some prejudices against GuHai.

In short, TongZhe felt that there is a deep involvement between the two.

Suddenly, BaiLuoYin saw an abnormal signal on the LCD screen, his nerves suddenly tensed up. Immediately, he stuffed the cigarette into GuHai’s hands and took full control of the joystick with his eyes staring intently at the instrument panel.

Soon, the fighter aircraft that GuYang was in came into his field of vision. The pilot and BaiLuoYin greeted each other. They have not competed with each other in the air before. In the last desert air battle, the two were on different teams. They almost had an opportunity for a showdown but because of BaiLuoYin’s foot injury, they missed that opportunity.

This fighter aircraft was flying on BaiLuoYin’s right side. TongZhe stretched his neck to look. He could only see the other aircraft firing waves after waves of missiles toward them. There is clearly an intention to battle with their stances being very fierce. BaiLuoYin responded instantly to avoid it, but hundreds of kilograms of missiles came from all sides to oppress his aircraft’s body and internal parts. Soon the body of the aircraft started to overturn.

BaiLuoYin clearly understood the opponent’s intent. It was trying to intercept his aircraft and force it to go down so that they won’t be able to return to the military base. Who this person is, his heart already knew.

BaiLuoYin adopted an avoidance attitude. If he can hide, then he will hide. He didn’t want to destroy the aircraft and also he didn’t want to cause any more trouble.

Suddenly, the aircraft behind them made a strong leap and charged in front of BaiLuoYin’s aircraft. The body of the aircraft suddenly trembled, the wings spurred into two fire trails and a group of missiles shot out from the sky……

BaiLuoYin was unable to dodge this sudden attack. The body of his aircraft violently shook. GuHai could barely withstand it while TongZhe felt that his heart is going to burst. Such live combat is a very common thing in training. GuHai could imagine the level of danger and difficulty of such combat, but when he himself is experiencing it, it is another kind of feeling.

Shit! …… BaiLuoYin secretly cursed, since you don’t want to handle this the easy way, we’ll do it the hard way then. The fighting spirit in his heart quickly ignited. His eyes became unusually sharp, his thinking more lucid, and his hand actions more swift and decisive. He will deal with this confrontation as a combat exercise.

Soon, the two sides exchanged fire. In the monitoring room, the Chief of Staff and Regiment Commander were chatting about the soldiers’ active training when they saw the monitor screen displaying two fighter aircrafts exchanging fire. They suddenly reveal a gratifying expression.

“If every soldier shared this kind of adventurous energy, we will have more talents like Xiao Bai in the military.”

The two fighter aircrafts battled violently in the air, each having their injuries, but no one refused to give way. This air battle lasted more than half an hour with the propensity to be intensified. BaiLuoYin not only wanted to win, but he also wanted to move the war zone northward. Only this way, would it ensure that they would get to the military base before they run out of fuel.

GuYang could see through BaiLuoYin’s attempt, so he calmly warned the pilot, “We must stop them from heading north.”

This pilot is also a fighting madman, with great affinity for live combat. His whole person is alive once he started fighting. The stronger the opponent, the more excited he is. He endlessly shot at the counterpart, bombarding each other in their hot pursuit, pressing harder and harder.

Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, another aircraft appeared in BaiLuoYin’s sight.

What the fuck, another one came? Because he never contacted the ground for support, BaiLuoYin clearly knew that this fighter aircraft can’t be on their side.

GuYang’s face changed. He then turned to ask the pilot on the side, “Did you contact the rescue aircraft?”

The pilot was puzzled, “No!”

Just when GuYang was having doubts, that aircraft began to fire toward BaiLuoYin’s aircraft. GuYang quickly grabbed the pilot’s arm and said, “Hold back and don’t make any moves, let’s watch first!”

Once this aircraft started the battle, it revealed a king’s demeanor. This pilot and his aircraft had reached the pinnacle of unity in terms of blending man and machine into one. Whether it flipped, climbed, or turn in circles, this all demonstrated the operator’s extraordinary flight skills. His unpredictable positions were overwhelming for BaiLuoYin.  The rhythm of the attack was instantly disrupted, every shot is empty, but each hit is solid.

BaiLuoYin had already guessed who the opposing fighter aircraft pilot is, but he didn’t understand why ZhouLingYun would help GuYang.

“That’s so gutsy! It’s too powerful!” The pilot in GuYang’s aircraft also praised, “He deserved to be called the air force trump card.”

GuYang also wondered. Didn’t ZhouLingYun say he wouldn’t help? Why did he come after all?

“Should we combine our forces with that aircraft (ZhouLingYun’s) to completely destroy that (BaiLuoYin’s) aircraft?” the pilot was anxiously excited.

“Fuck your balls!” GuYang could not help but busted out foul language, “Did you not see that, that aircraft (BaiLuoYin’s aircraft) is about to fall apart? Quickly provide support!”

“Sup….support?” the pilot was ignorant. Just now, you wanted me to destroy it, why do I suddenly need to provide support for it?

GuYang raged, “My two brothers are in there!”

The pilot suddenly sweated bullets, “Why did you want me to fire at your family?”

“Can you take care of that? Hurry up and go over there to give support. If anything happens to it, this will be counted from your head!”

The pilot whispered in his heart. Who did I provoke?

In the end, it was still a step too late. When the aircraft that GuYang was in quickly scrambled over, BaiLuoYin’s aircraft was already spiraling downward. It pierced through the clouds and began a downward dive to the ground.

BaiLuoYin controlled the aircraft on one side while on the other side telling the two people, “We need to quickly parachute!”

“I want be tied to you so we can jump together,” GuHai said.

Hearing this, BaiLuoYin’s face remained gloomy.

“Jump by yourself, I’m not going to be tied to you.”

GuHai insisted, “I will be tied to you to jump together.”

BaiLuoYin could vaguely see the contours of the earth. He immediately became anxious.

“Why are you wasting time? I’m telling you to jump, just jump!”

“I’m not going to jump if you don’t jump with me.”

“It is dangerous to be tied together.”

“I don’t care.”

TongZhe cleared his throat, “You both continue to argue. I’m going to jump first.”

Then a shadow leaped from the blue sky while the remaining two people are still arguing. Seeing that time is quickly running out, BaiLuoYin had to give in and obey GuHai’s wish. He quickly tied the two of them together and jumped from the cockpit.

“There’s no need for rescue, right?” The pilot on GuYang’s aircraft asked cautiously.

GuYang’s face instantly became dark. He couldn’t see any trace of blood.

Then, the pilot planned to return, only to be suddenly attacked by the same fighter aircraft that was targeting BaiLuoYin’s aircraft earlier. Its wings caught fire and the body began to tremble violently. The pilot finally got it under control but was hit with heavy missiles again. The aircraft’s entire body tilted steeply.

“What’s going on?” The pilot was dumbfounded. “Isn’t he with us? Why did he fire at us?”

GuYang bit his teeth tightly. How would I know?

Soon, GuYang’s aircraft also couldn’t withstand the force from that aircraft and fell through the clouds to the vast land beneath.

The police soldier sitting next to ZhouLingYun broke out into sweats. On the one hand, his body could barely support himself, but on the other hand, the scene was too intense and exciting. It wasn’t until the aircraft was steady, that the police soldier felt relieved.

“Why are we here?”

Hitting one aircraft after another, the police soldier could not understand what ZhouLingYun was thinking.

Unexpectedly, ZhouLingYun just casually replied with four words.

“Just enjoy the show.”
