Chapter 69

One week later.

A small jet business aircraft carrying the psychologist Li Bai and his two female assistants glided onto the runway.

Moments later, the nose of the aircraft lifted lightly, soaring into the sky and quickly disappearing into the horizon.

As soon as the three of them had left, the half-crazy Chekhov the Grizzly Bear was finally released.

Looking up at the bright, sunny sky, he shouted with anticipation.

"Goddess, I'm coming!"

The "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Ruxius, who had come to pick him up, said irritably, "Your goddess has already left!"

"You're lying! You're lying, right?"

Chekhov mechanically turned his head to look at her.

Ilyana Ruxius, with her arms crossed, nodded toward the main runway and said, "Look for yourself!"

The runway was empty.

Unwilling to accept this, Chekhov took a few quick steps, running a short distance, and found that the small jet business aircraft was nowhere to be seen.

"Naozi, she's gone!"

The old pervert looked at the empty tarmac, finally recalling the recent roar, which was clearly the sound of a jet engine.

The 911 Air Base only had two MiG-28 jets.

Since he was in solitary confinement, the rookie was far from being ready to fly. If he could hear the sound of a jet engine, it could only be a business jet visiting the 911 Air Base.

"Look at you, you useless thing!"

Chekhov's cowardly appearance made "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Ruxius so angry that she kicked him from behind.

Caught off guard, the Grizzly Bear fell to the ground, lamenting into the air.

The short-haired girl kept sneering!

A twelve-seat electric vehicle sped over, driven by the fire control operator of the "Zhenxiang" Squadron, "Red Braising Sauce" Jack Brown, who was shouting at the top of his lungs, "Squadron leader, squadron leader, level three alert, level three alert!"

His thigh had been pierced by a dragon spike during the battle with the golden dragon Bit, nearly costing him his life.

Now, he had recovered well enough to walk a few steps with a cane, and driving an electric vehicle was no problem at all.

"Level three alert? What's going on?"

Chekhov scrambled to his feet.

Since he had been in solitary confinement, his phone had been confiscated, so he couldn't receive important notifications from the base management in time.

A level three alert meant that something significant had happened, requiring the 911 Air Base to be on full alert, with fighters ready to take off at any moment.

"I don't know, I don't have the clearance!"

"Red Braising Sauce" Jack Brown stopped the car and shrugged.

All pilots always waited for the squadron leader to announce and convey mission instructions. It was against protocol to inquire individually, and rashly overstepping would yield nothing.

"Go to the hangar, Ilyana, get in the car!"

Chekhov didn't hesitate, pulling the short-haired girl into the car.

The electric vehicle, which ran on electricity and not gasoline, had a limited range of about 50 kilometers when fully charged, but it was perfect for use within the air base.

"The Sky Dragon City of the Canopy Star has sent a diplomatic delegation."

After retrieving his phone, Chekhov quickly found out the reason for the level three alert using his clearance.

The Sky Dragon City of the Canopy Star?

The pilots of the "Zhenxiang" Combat Squadron looked at each other, feeling a great distance.

The Canopy Star was located on the other side of the "Halo" portal, controlled by the digital intelligence construct Cybertrom, and was a resource-rich planet with many intelligent life forms.

Despite frequent exchanges through the "Halo" portal over the past three decades and the early establishment of trade between the two worlds, the high-level officials of both sides were already very familiar with each other.

However, for the vast majority of people on Earth, who could not cross the boundary at will, their understanding of the Canopy Star was limited to the internet, films, news, and books, and they had not had the opportunity to meet its inhabitants in person.

The 911 Air Base was just one of several air bases under the military contractor Tianqi Defense Group, and it was not particularly unique compared to its peers.

"What do they want?"

"Devil Pepper" Ilyana Ruxius was puzzled.

Sky Dragon City was the territory of the dragons of the Canopy Star. Suddenly sending a diplomatic team to a small air base on Earth was incomprehensible.

From any perspective, the two sides were not on equal footing.

"For the golden dragon Bit!"

The female executive manager of the 911 Air Base, Hana Gager, had arrived at the "Zhenxiang" Squadron's assembly area in Hangar 1, just in time to hear the conversation between the squadron leaders.

"They want revenge?"

"Devil Pepper" Ilyana Ruxius was shocked.

With the combat power of dragons, annihilating an air base would be a piece of cake.

If it weren't for the fighters from other air bases depleting the golden dragon's strength and the rookie Chen Fei's incredible luck in firing the decisive "Dragon Slayer" missile at the last moment, Tianqi Defense Group would not be reaping the rewards now.

If the 911 Air Base had faced the golden dragon alone, it would have been no match.

The faces of the "Zhenxiang" Squadron pilots quickly turned grim at the deputy squadron leader's words.

The dragons' grudges were as small as the tip of a needle. Even though the killing of the golden dragon was within the rules and legal, the other side still wanted revenge, which was truly unreasonable.

"Don't worry, they won't do that. Both Earth and the Canopy Star have rules."

The female executive manager Hana Gager dismissed this possibility.

Moreover, the order to kill the golden dragon Bit traced back to the Sky Dragon City of the Canopy Star, and it was given by the Dragon King himself.

Almost everyone could foresee the casualties and damage that a rampaging dragon would cause if it entered human society.

Hana continued, "The psychological counseling session just completed was in preparation for the arrival of this diplomatic delegation, so there's no need to worry."

Huh???

Not only the short-haired girl "Devil Pepper" Ilyana Ruxius, but even Chekhov the Grizzly Bear, who was relaying the instructions, felt surprised.

It was clear that the headquarters of Tianqi Defense Group had received this information long ago and had conducted a thorough investigation within the 911 Air Base before the Canopy Star dragon delegation arrived to ensure there were no hidden risks.

According to the diplomatic rules established between the two planets, even though the "Halo" portal was suspended in space and always open, it was not a free-for-all.

The approval process on the Earth side gave Tianqi Defense Group valuable time to prepare.

However, the psychological counseling report showed no significant concerns.

Even if the dragons from Sky Dragon City arrived at the 911 Air Base, they would not gain much.

But the true purpose of these dragons was still in question.

"Beep beep beep!"

A notification sounded from the female executive manager Hana Gager's phone.

She checked the screen and announced loudly, "Five minutes until the Sky Dragon City diplomatic delegation arrives."

"There's a meteor, coming down from the sky!"

Someone outside the hangar suddenly shouted.
