Chapter 98: Tomcat Demolition Team, Clear a Path!

“Captain Lin Mo has probably retreated. This plan was destined to fail!” Li Muxin showed no expression on her face; everything was within reason. She had already ordered Yakov to give Lin Mo the retreat command. With neither cooperation nor support, the likelihood of Lin Mo completing his mission as planned was nearly zero—unless God was a relative of his.

“Sister! Find a way to rush through; I can’t throw my C4 that far!” Her sister, Li Muling, crawled next to her, looking up at the trails left by the passing fighter jets. “Don’t worry about Lin Mo. He doesn’t have a chance. Look, both F-14s have taken off. As long as he doesn’t act, he’ll be fine—he has his beautiful commander protecting him, and he’s not an idiot. He probably seized the chance to escape by now. With just the surface layer of the Elite Guard, it’s much easier for him to get away than us.”

Just as Muling incessantly reminded her sister to find a way to break through, they suddenly heard the jet engines turning back and approaching again.

“Hide, hide! Damn it! Is the ‘Red Scorpion’ crazy?” Yakov, seeming to have extensive combat experience, shouted at the Twin Stars. His men quickly scattered.

“Hey, hey!” The “Red Scorpion” soldiers near the armored vehicle excitedly waved at their fighter jets and shouted.

A sharp, piercing sound of a bomb being dropped echoed through the air, rushing down toward the ground.

Boom!

The explosion, far more powerful than Li Muling’s C4, erupted at the street corner, creating a small mushroom cloud and sending shockwaves that battered nearby cover and buildings until they were riddled with damage.

“How is this possible?” Li Muxin looked up as the F-14 dropped its bombs. The infantry armored vehicle that had blocked their way was blown apart, exposing a horrifyingly large jagged gash, nearly breaking the entire vehicle, which was engulfed in flames and black smoke. The “Red Scorpion” soldiers nearby remained silent, oblivious to the chaos.

“Hahaha, heaven is helping me! The ‘Red Scorpion’ pilots are utterly pathetic. Can they even aim? Hahaha, this is killing me!” The sudden turn of events made Li Muling laugh uncontrollably. Just moments ago, she was fretting over how to breach the armored vehicle, and now the foolish “Red Scorpion” pilot had bombed their own, paving the way for them. She had never seen such idiotic pilots!

The two F-14s returned for a third pass. The air force had a natural attacking advantage over the army, so Li Muxin and Yakov’s party dared not be careless and quickly sought shelter.

The F-14s dropped bombs and even launched missiles at the ground, unleashing a storm that pulverized everything in their path. However, Li Muxin and Yakov’s people could not help but stare wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the street corner engulfed in smoke and dust.

Not a single bomb or bullet landed near them; it was as if the two fighter jets completely overlooked their position and bombarded a specific target instead. As the smoke cleared, Li Muxin and her sister saw a pathway brutally created where the explosions had occurred, and they noticed no “Red Scorpion” soldiers were present. They could safely rush to the outskirts of Aysulu.

“My sister, the ‘Red Scorpion’ pilots must have gone insane! I bet they saw us!” Li Muling exclaimed incredulously, her beautiful eyes wide. In her mind, her sister was akin to a goddess.

“They’re not crazy; Lin Mo succeeded!!!” Li Muxin, usually composed, stood in shock, losing her calm demeanor.

The F-14 supersonic multirole fighter jet was excellent in short, medium, and long-range attacks, especially when loaded with ground attack weapons; there was almost no one on the ground able to defend against it. The “Red Scorpion” soldiers, taken by surprise, were left crying out in pain as chaos erupted.

“God above, may Allah protect us!” Tears streamed down Yakov’s face; he had narrowly escaped!

“Oh yeah! Urah!” Yakov’s subordinates cheered!

Within Li Muxin’s heart, emotions surged like raging waves. Her nearly computer-like high intelligence couldn’t comprehend how Lin Mo managed to achieve what he had. Even if someone had assisted him, it would have been incredibly difficult; after all, the most elite Elite Guard of the “Red Scorpion” had gathered at the airport, far more challenging to deal with than ordinary soldiers.

“It’s him, it’s him, no doubt! He found the research team trapped in the Gobi this way. Only he could have the sharp eyes to spot us. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have had an escape route. Who was on that other F-14?”

Moreover, now she was witnessing two F-14s. He was just one person!

Could it be that he used a cloning technique?

“Sister, sister! What’s wrong?” Seeing her sister so distracted for the first time, Li Muling grew anxious and tugged at Li Muxin’s arm.

“Uh! I’m fine!” Li Muxin snapped back from her deep thoughts, glancing at the excited Yakov and the others nearby. She quickly shouted, “Stop yelling and let’s get out of here! This is no place to linger.”

However, Lin Mo’s figure was firmly etched in Li Muxin’s mind—this mysterious guy!

“Hmph! Stupid Lin Mo, fool Lin Mo, coward Lin Mo!” Seemingly provoked by the earlier bombing by the F-14s, Li Muling muttered curses under her breath while trailing the group. It seemed that certain past actions of his had lingered in her mind.

Li Muxin clearly heard her sister’s small complaints and, in an unusually stern tone, admonished, “Muling, stop talking like that about Captain Lin. From now on, show him some respect when you see him!”

“Sister!” Li Muling pouted in confusion, baffled by her sister—who had always supported her—now defending that irritating Lin Mo.

“That person is not simple! Don’t provoke him from now on!” Sister Li Muxin quickly regained her composure and rationality, pushing aside her thoughts on how Lin Mo controlled two F-14s simultaneously. Their immediate priority was to leave Aysulu.

How could my sister categorize that jerk Lin Mo as someone not to be messed with? Oh my, just that lousy pilot?! Li Muling couldn’t make sense of how her sister arrived at such an analysis.

The path in front of the Li sisters and Yakov’s team had been cleared by the two F-14s. They faced little resistance along the way. Compared to their original plan, they quickly withdrew from the “Red Scorpion” territory, vanishing into the darkness away from the light.

Inside the shaky cockpit, two Light Mirror Techniques, large and small, slowly moved before Lin Mo. The larger one displayed an image of the ground ahead, while the smaller one showed the group of the Twin Stars. Lin Mo smiled slightly; if he guessed correctly, Li Muxin, the cunning sister of the Twin Stars, had likely realized he had completed the impossible task.

In the desert, where light resources were abundant these past few days, Lin Mo had accumulated plenty of light energy; it was easy for him to activate two Light Mirror Techniques at night.

The images within the Light Mirror Techniques were as clear as during the day. Lin Mo adjusted the nose of the aircraft and flew over the “Red Scorpion” airport, directing the F-14 controlled by Gold Coin towards several large warehouses within the airport, launching multiple rockets in succession.

Commander Natasha, you’d better pray for your safety.

This mission hadn’t considered a decapitation strike against the “Red Scorpion.” Armed organizations in the desert were numerous, with new ones rising up every day. Even if they eliminated a few leaders, identical organizations like “Green Scorpion” and “Black Scorpion” would emerge, and simply eradicating a few leaders wouldn’t help unless the international forces behind them, the major tumor, were also removed.

Don’t be fooled by the power possessed by Lawrence, Natasha, Frank, and Haus; they were merely pawns in someone else’s game.

After Lin Mo hijacked the aircraft and attacked the airport from both the ground and air, he had effectively obliterated the air force from the “Red Scorpion” military structure. Even if there were a few helicopters, they would be insignificant.

“Gold Coin, let’s fly east and give the ‘Red Scorpion’ neighbors a heads up!” Lin Mo spoke directly through the headset channel. As for the two unfortunate “Red Scorpion” pilots onboard, he regarded them as already dead, loyal to the great “Red Scorpion,” just as their oaths declared, defending the interests of the “Red Scorpion” with their lives.

“Morin, I want these two planes! I want to devour them!” The gold giant dragon Gold Coin unapologetically demanded, planning to consume this F-14 whole, having caught a whiff of the sweet scent of magic silver from its structure.

The F-14 Tomcat adopted a fully metallic semi-hard shell structure, with the main beams made of titanium alloy and several other parts also crafted from titanium alloy. The cost was so high that even the U.S. military had to calculate carefully to equip them. Later, they were gradually replaced by the F-18. It was far from the broken copper and iron; such high-quality fighter jets were a gourmet feast for Gold Coin, unlike Lin Mo’s J-10, which it could only look at but not consume, making Gold Coin incredibly greedy.

“Hmm!” Lin Mo hesitated momentarily. His initial plan was to create a facade of being shot down, leading the “Red Scorpion” and their opponents into an endless struggle. The considerable losses of the two fighter jets should drive the “Red Scorpion” into madness.

Thinking of Gold Coin’s needs, Lin Mo decided to consider it. He didn’t want to starve this giant dragon; he replied, “We can’t swallow everything. We must simulate some scattered aircraft parts! This way, it looks like they were shot down.”
