Once the fighter jets took to the sky, they began firing at the clouds. The cannons on these planes were incredibly powerful; hitting a tree could snap a smaller trunk in half, and a direct hit on a person would tear their body apart. A mere graze could leave a gaping hole, and if a torso was accidentally hit, half the body would simply vanish.
The fighter jets strafed the sky relentlessly, their targets clearly the clouds above. Those in the sky wished to retaliate, but the countless poisonous gases in the air prevented them from acting. The people on the ground could only wait for their own ascent.
"These despicable fellows only know how to use poison. So much chemical substance is burning; this will affect the atmospheric environment!" Jin Ziju said angrily at this moment.
Shen Feng replied, "These people don't care about the future of humanity. For them, this is merely a means of attack! Xiao Jie, use the mist to shield us, and wait for me to blow away this poison gas!"
Shen Feng had heard before that the people in North America would disregard the lives of others and the future of their descendants to achieve their goals. This was why they had previously used people as experimental subjects. He never expected them to still be using such methods; they were truly a cancer upon humanity.
Facing the current situation, he harbored the thought of eliminating these scoundrels. Only by making these selfish individuals disappear could the Earth find peace.
Thus, Shen Feng immediately unleashed his abilities without hesitation. He could now summon typhoons to disperse the poisonous clouds. However, he also understood that doing so would inevitably spread the toxic substances further. With this in mind, Shen Feng merely dispersed and blew away the mist.
As a strong wind swept in from afar, it immediately scattered the poisonous gas in the sky. The gases were then blown towards the sea by a whirlwind, obscuring visibility.
But at this moment, the fighter jets in the sky had already begun their attack. The Wind King Barrier that Shen Feng had conjured would be shattered in just a few minutes. Even if the people they were with tried to ascend further, they would not be able to escape the fighter jets' attacks.
The interiors of the fighter jets were sealed environments, unaffected by the outside air. Even if Shen Feng and the others flew into the stratosphere, these fighter jets could still keep up.
Seeing this situation, Xu Xing immediately said, "City Lord, we need a way to break through this. Allow me to disrupt the fleet's formation!"
Shen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Then you must be careful. Your mother is waiting for you to come home!"
Xu Xing smiled and, seizing the moment the barrier Shen Feng had created shattered, leaped down. She was wearing a spacesuit, fully sealed and providing oxygen. Under the cover of the gray and black poisonous fog in the sky, she landed on an aircraft carrier. This was not a true aircraft carrier, but rather a large cargo ship converted to provide aerial combat capabilities for fighter jets!
"Thump!" Xu Xing landed on the deck with a dull thud. The soldiers on the ship heard the sound and immediately moved towards the direction it came from, preparing to investigate the source. However, they discovered a woman in a spacesuit had appeared. They immediately raised their weapons to fire.
But Xu Xing dodged their attacks in advance. Taking advantage of their distraction, she drew her long saber and swung it, emitting a piercing shriek.
As Xu Xing brought her saber down, a soldier attempted to resist with his automatic rifle. However, such an attack was powerless against it. With a single strike, the soldier, along with his rifle, was cleaved in two.
"Thump," another sound echoed on the deck.
Xu Xing looked back and saw that the person who had jumped down was Qin Kewei.
"Sister Qin, why did you come down? I can disrupt their formation by myself!" Xu Xing asked, confused.
"I want to contribute too. We must end this doomsday, and we cannot hold back. Therefore, no matter what, I must help!" Qin Kewei said.
Shen Feng, still in the clouds, was extremely annoyed by the fighter jets flying erratically. These were new models, flying at high speeds and equipped with numerous weapons, including missiles and machine guns. The bullets from these machine guns were enough to threaten people's lives.
"Do you really think I can't deal with you just because you have a speed advantage? I'll handle these fighter jets. You protect yourselves and focus on harassment and attack. It's best if you sink all the ships!" Shen Feng said coldly.
After saying this, he immediately rode the wind into the sky, chasing after the fighter jets. While their speed might not match, Shen Feng had other advantages.
Shen Feng was a ninth-tier ability user. Besides speed, he possessed formidable offensive capabilities, especially in the sky, which was his domain. With the howling winds and the chaotic movement of air masses, his abilities could be maximized under these climatic conditions.
"Gale Cannon!" Shen Feng conjured a massive air cannon and fired it, predicting the flight path of a fighter jet. The fighter jet could not detect the air cannon in the air because it was transparent. Such an attack was completely unpredictable, and therefore, impossible to dodge. It flew directly into the cannon.
Boom... The fighter jet exploded in the sky like a firework, scattering countless pieces of aircraft. Mixed among these fragments were pools of blood, indicating that the pilot inside had perished.
Chang Haojie also said at this moment, "We need to fly to high altitude. As long as we can resist the missile attacks, we can counterattack. Mr. Guo, I'll trouble you with the defense, while the rest of us will focus on resisting!"
"No problem, leave the defense to me. I can create steel plates fifty centimeters thick; I doubt any missile can break through them!" Guo Pinming said.
Subsequently, a large amount of iron from the sea flew into the sky, forming thick steel plates that protected the people. The people could observe the outside situation through small windows. Once a missile was detected, they would hide.
At this time, Chang Haojie also felt the strain because the clouds he controlled had a weight limit. Now, the clouds were burdened with fifty-centimeter-thick iron plates forming a defense. Although it could protect them from harm, the weight pressing down on the clouds was rapidly depleting his stamina.
"We must resolve this battle within thirty minutes. If not, we will have to abandon our defenses!" Chang Haojie said.
Then, they began descending towards the sea. The fleets on the sea, upon seeing the enemy descending, continuously fired missiles and artillery. The cannons roared, and shells were accurately launched into the sky, hitting the clouds. Even the machine guns were strafing.
These powerful weapons, upon hitting the targets in the sky, directly shattered the clouds. They also struck the steel plates, but the iron plates quickly blocked them.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, a single missile could destroy a building. However, in reality, the power of missiles was not that great, especially now. The defensive objects on the clouds were thick iron plates. Their thickness was such that ordinary weapons could not penetrate them.
"It's a shame we didn't bring any 'warm duck eggs' (referring to something powerful), otherwise dealing with the people inside these iron turtles would be a piece of cake," Tom said at this moment.
Atlas replied, "Let's focus on finding a way to escape quickly. After all, we cannot achieve victory in this situation. The enemy can attack from the sky, and our fighter jets also seem unable to win. Have you observed the situation beneath the sea? It seems our ships can't move!"
Tom looked underwater and saw many white crystalline substances around the ships. A careful analysis would reveal what they were. If it were ice, the ships would have been constantly discharging hot water, and these ice blocks would have melted quickly. Moreover, ice doesn't form that fast, and it's impossible to have such rapid freezing in flowing waters. This meant these white crystalline substances were all salt.
"Truly despicable and shameless fellows. I can't believe they controlled this place while we were talking. The ships can't move!" Tom realized that Shen Feng's willingness to talk earlier was solely to ambush them.
Now, all the ship propellers were frozen, rendering them immobile. In the sea, ordinary ships have several ways of sailing: one is by sails, another is by oars, and the third is by propellers driven by various power sources. Once the propellers rotate, they provide sufficient power to the ship.
However, military ships generally have only one method of propulsion: using the rotation of propellers to provide power. If the propellers malfunction, they could drift at sea, completely unable to move. This is precisely the situation they found themselves in; all warships were frozen in place, and what froze them was not ice, but salt.
"It's alright, as long as we hold on for a while, we will surely win. And if we really can't win, I've already thought of a solution. The nuclear bombs are ready and can be launched at any time. Then we'll board the fighter jets and leave quickly, destroying these people along with the alien technology. Under nuclear bombs, I don't believe anyone can survive!" Tom said.
For the people in North America, they didn't care about global public opinion. They could do whatever they wanted, and no one could stop them. Therefore, they were definitely capable of using nuclear bombs to attack humanity.
However, many commanders at this moment also realized that something was wrong because these ability users were too powerful. Two women had jumped from the sky and were causing great destruction. One woman could sever cannon barrels with a single strike, leaving no intact soldiers in her wake. People were afraid to face her. Another woman could cause sudden changes beneath the sea, with large amounts of mud forming spikes that pierced the bottom of the ships.
If this continued, and the people in the sky descended, everyone below would be killed. However, they could at least hold on for half a day, ten to twelve hours, and then they would have to flee to survive. But now, with their propellers frozen, escaping was impossible.
"As long as we persevere, this naval battle will definitely drag on for a long time. Our pilots can then rotate. But these ability users will surely expend a lot of physical strength. They are living people, and they will definitely get tired. That will be our time to counterattack!" These commanders were rallying their subordinates, urging them to stay alert and persevere, and victory would be theirs.
But at this moment, explosions suddenly occurred at night, followed by countless people jumping from the deck into the sea. The reason was that the steel deck was now filled with a large amount of electricity. If they didn't jump into the sea, they would be electrocuted to death.
"What's going on? Are there enemies inside?" The commanders were in a panic, not understanding what had happened. Why had a warship suddenly exploded? And it seemed to be an aircraft carrier! A place where many fighter jets took off.
So, most of the aircraft carriers here were converted cargo ships, capable of carrying and launching larger fighter jets. However, if attacked, they could not react like real warships. But this was still a large vessel; it shouldn't have exploded so easily.
And this was naturally the work of Du Fansheng and Yue Cangshan. The two of them had been hidden within this aircraft carrier for over ten days without being exposed. Now, seeing that a major battle had begun outside, they couldn't help but act, causing one aircraft carrier to lose power and become unable to navigate. Moreover, the entire ship was filled with electricity, making it impossible for people to move freely, as they risked being electrocuted to death if they moved.
These ships were mostly made of steel because it was the most durable and cheapest material. The warships built were not only sturdy but also durable, serving for ten to twenty years without issues. However, this steel also meant it was highly conductive. Even with paint, it was useless, as the strong voltage could penetrate the paint coating.
At this time, Yue Cangshan emerged from the cabin and said to Xu Xing and Qin Kewei in the distance, "Teacher Xu, Aunt Qin, quickly find a dark place to hide and don't show yourselves. I'm going to use my abilities!"
Xu Xing and Qin Kewei were both surprised and delighted to see the child appear. They were surprised that the young boy had managed to get onto the ship, a dangerous battlefield. They were pleased that the child was so sensible and knew how to help now.
