Because of the rain, it became more and more difficult for the glider to fly in the air. Zhang Tie clearly felt that the speed of the glider had slowed down, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to find rising thermals to allow the glider to climb higher again. He could only control the glider and use the The horizontal wind speed uses the lift provided by the glider's main wing to offset as much as possible the impact of raindrops and downward cold air on the glider.
For the glider, unless Zhang Tie drives it completely out of this area, if it has to stay in this area in this kind of weather, then even Zhang Tie is driving a gliding device without any power of its own. , and it is impossible for him to do anything that violates those basic laws of physics.
In fact, in such weather, Zhang Tie was able to fly a glider and stay over the entire Misty Moon Forest for more than seven hours, which was already a miracle in itself. Many other glider pilots could not even take off in such weather. Even if they could take off, their time in the sky would be very short. However, Zhang Tie, piloting his Wind Talker, was almost in the air. A whole day passed in the sky.
The cost of these more than seven hours was that Zhang Tie's glider's flying altitude dropped from more than 15,000 meters to about 1,000 meters, and it became increasingly difficult to get back up again. difficulty.
There wasn't much rain in the sky, but the layer of fog above the Foggy Moon Forest below was even thicker. Zhang Tie, who was sitting on the glider, tilted his head and looked at the layer of fog under the glider. He felt like he was flying above the sea of clouds in the stratosphere and could not see anything clearly.
In order to prevent rainwater from getting in, the protective cover on Zhang Tie's cockpit was pulled up. The raindrops dripped on the outside of the protective cover. Although it quickly slipped away, it was due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the protective cover. The outside of the protective shield was always covered with a thin layer of water mist, which made Zhang Tie even more unable to see the scene below clearly.
In just a few minutes, the flying height of the glider dropped by more than 100 meters again. Zhang Tie relied on his strong instinct to seize two scattered terrain upwellings to lift the glider slightly, but soon, Under the influence of that powerful and irresistible weather. The flying height of the glider slowly began to decrease as if being held down by a big hand.
"Damn it!" Zhang Tie cursed secretly.
This is already Zhang Tie's fifth day in the Forest of Fog and Moon, among these five days. Even though Zhang Tie had already flown the entire Forest of Mist and Moon over in his glider, he still could not find the demonized puppet army.
There are two reasons why this place is called the Forest of Fog and Moon. One is that there is heavy fog here all year round. The second is that there is a very vast mountain forest below. Because of the cover of mountains and fog, Zhang Tie never gained much.
As soon as the scout troops sent by the human coalition entered here, they were like nothing. As a last resort, everyone could only place their hopes on the results of aerial reconnaissance.
If the weather is good, it's okay, but in the rainy season, the difficulty of doing so will undoubtedly increase many times.
Not to mention that heavy rain will make the fog below thicker and make things on the ground more difficult to see clearly, let's just say that you can still fly a glider on missions in such weather. This in itself is a huge test for a person.
In addition to Zhang Tie, Lan Yunxi also sent several airships to cooperate in the investigation in the past two days. But still found nothing.
Everyone knows that the longer the Jinyun Kingdom's airship troops stay in this area, the more likely they will be exposed and the more dangerous they will be.
Below was a sea of fog. Seeing a hillside ahead, Zhang Tie just thought about it for two seconds on the glider. Then he gritted his teeth, pressed down on the rudder, and drove the glider down the hillside.
The reconnaissance in the sky yielded no results, and today's flying conditions were very poor. Even if he wanted to fly back now, it would be difficult. Zhang Tie simply felt relieved and prepared to land the glider here, and then went down to the ground to take a closer look. Look, if the weather gets better tomorrow, I can fly the glider to the sky again using the terrain on the hillside.
The glider was quickly lowering in a hovering posture in the sky. Under Zhang Tie's control, the glider was very agile, and even while hovering, the downward angle of the nose was very large. Even those ace glider pilots , and few people dared to land at such a large angle, but Zhang Tie dared. In just half a minute, the glider was already close to the ground.
Just when the glider's nose was pointing down and wanted to make close contact with the ground, Zhang Tie used the weak updraft on the hillside to pull up the nose of the glider. The glider paused slightly, and its downward momentum slowed down slightly. The fuselage suddenly flattened. After rushing forward for dozens of meters, Zhang Tie's feet suddenly stretched out from under the cockpit. He only ran a few meters on the grass on the hillside before steadily stopping the glider. .
Putting down the glider, opening the protective cover of the cockpit, Zhang Tie jumped out of the cockpit quickly, braved the rain, pulled the protective cover back up, then lifted the glider and ran towards the woods on the edge of the hillside. past.
The glider, which weighed less than a ton, was almost like a weapon in Zhang Tie's hands. Zhang Tie ran over with the glider, leaving no trace on the ground.
Arriving in the woods, Zhang Tie found a relatively hidden bush. After cleaning it up a bit, Zhang Tie hid the glider behind the bush. Then Zhang Tie took out the dagger on his waist and chopped it. I picked up some branches to cover the glider and made some concealment.
Under Zhang Tie's concealment method, it is impossible for a person to spot a glider from dozens of meters away, unless he walks over and pushes aside the branches.
Moreover, who would have thought that there would be a glider hidden on the hillside of the Fog Moon Forest, in the wilderness.
After doing all this, Zhang Tie's clothes were almost completely soaked by the rain. Zhang Tie took down the six flying spears from the weapons rack outside the glider cockpit, carried them on his back, and then placed them around the glider. Two trace systems were arranged, and then he quickly left here.
Twenty minutes later, the rain from the sky became heavier and heavier, like a basin pouring down, and the temperature also dropped.
Zhang Tie found a cave in a valley more than ten kilometers away from the glider. After a little exploration, he found that there were no people or wild animals in the cave, so Zhang Tie got into the cave.
The entrance of this hole is not big, but fortunately it is deep enough inside and there are a few twists and turns. There are several trees under the entrance of the hole, and some dried branches and leaves fell into the hole. Some of them have not been affected by moisture. Zhang Tie gathered them up. A fire was lit in a secret location in the cave with some branches and leaves that were not damp at all.
The whole cave suddenly became warm.
I put water behind the big tree at the entrance of the cave, then returned to the cave, drank two sips of the full-effect potion to replenish my body's energy consumption, and took out a piece of dried meat in the Black Iron Castle and roasted it on the fire. As his body slowly warmed up, Zhang Tiecai exhaled a long breath.
When the attractive fragrance of the dried meat came out, Zhang Tie's wet clothes were also baked and steamed up. After eating, he got some water from the Black Iron Castle to drink. After gradually drying up, Zhang Tie sat behind a stone at the entrance of the cave and stared at the rainy scene in the valley outside the cave.
Many familiar faces appeared in Zhang Tie's mind. After not seeing each other for several months, Zhang Tie couldn't help but miss them, especially Linda, Fiona and Beverly. He thought of the three women alone there. Zhang Tie had a strange and complicated feeling in his heart about his unborn bloodline.
To be honest, Zhang Tie has not been completely ready to be a father until now, but he also knows that if he waits until he is completely ready to be a father, Linda and the three of them will It's really hard to say whether the relationship between a person and himself will still be the same as it is now.
The biggest role of the children in the bellies of three women is actually to transform Linda and the others from their identities as women and lovers to their own relatives. This kind of relationship will never change no matter how far apart or how long they are apart. .
Sometimes in life, you can't just live for yourself. When you can cherish some people, then use all your strength to cherish them. Don't let those who are worthy of your cherishing become passers-by in your life, but should Let them become the scenery, benefactor, and part of your life. When you can see them everywhere in your life, your life will be complete.
This is what Zhang Tie's mother said to him when he first entered Black Flame City's No. 7 National Boys' High School. Zhang Tie still remembers it in his heart.
I don’t know when I will go to the Eastern Continent. If I see Linda and the others again, how old will the three little guys be? Will they call me daddy? If there are three more grandchildren all of a sudden, plus those of my brother, my mother will really want to open a kindergarten...
Thinking of his mother being surrounded by a bunch of little guys, a smile appeared on Zhang Tie's face.
After being dazed for a while, Zhang Tie shook his head and erased those romantic and tender images from his mind. Then he took off the map he was carrying, found his location on the map, and then wrinkled He frowned.
Today's reconnaissance area was not chosen randomly, but one of the areas that Zhang Tie marked on the map after several days of reconnaissance, which was most likely to hide the demon army. The weather and heavy fog made him appear in the sky. The effectiveness of the reconnaissance was greatly reduced. Looking at the map, Zhang Tie made a mark on the grid of the map, preparing to wait for the rain to subside and then go around the places marked on the map to take a look.
Targets that cannot be found in the sky will be very obvious when viewed from the ground. If there is really a demon army in these areas with hundreds of thousands of people, Zhang Tie does not believe that they can really hide it.
Zhang Tie was practicing in the cave while waiting for the rain to lighten...
It rained all night... (...)
