Osea in our world

Megalith

Jushi fortress,China

<<Preparing for taxi>>

After taking off from the frontline,hiding under the radar of the Russian government,all of the remaining of the Russian Su-37 Flanker F Zheltye squadron have gathered themselves on the runway of Megalith:

"Genes,have you heard anything from Erich?"

Zheltye 21,the new commander of the squadron asks his wingman,who is preparing to get onto the cockpit of his aircraft.Noticing the miserable face of him,Jean already knew the answer.Despite that,he wants to hear it by himself:

"No,the last transmission I got from him was eight hours ago,since then...no,I am afraid that..."

"Okay...I got it,just prepare to take it off"

Jean-Louis runs off the runway of the facility and watches as Genes's Su-37 closes the cockpit and takes into the dark sky,following the wingmen that took off earlier to join the defense line.

"Erich"

Jean whispered the name of the old captain.Knowing that he would never meet him again,the French pilot sigh in sorrow,he took out a wine bottle he brought from his very own homeland where he would never return.Jean closed his eyes and slurped a long sip before coughing out like he's going to die from it,that man never drank alcohol,but for the very last moment,he has to,there might be no other chance:

Cough*Cough*"This one is for you,Erich,one last time"

At the same time,from far away

<<Tango 2 calling Sky Eye,10 Russian Su-37 and 5 Chinese J-16 is taking off.We have taken the sub control room,it seemed like we cannot reverse the launching command,but we have delayed it,we have 30 minutes left>>

While the Zheltye 21 was mourning his friend,from afar,through the binoculars,Zhangli and his comrades were spying on them through the small window of the room they had captured,which could see the entire runway.Without any necessary arm to destroy those planes on the ground,it's the best if they could provide any piece of intel for the Osean jets.

<<Sky Eye calling Tango 2,thanks for the information,but we need your help,our planes will provide air support and initial strike,but we still need escape route to fly out.Osean Federation won't risk their pilots to fly into certain death>>

<<What?Your planes will fly into the facility?Isn't that certain death?>>

<<Not the first time in our world.Beside,that is just in case of emergency.Risky,but we might really have to do it>>

<<......>>

<<We will take down all the generators then help you to take the second sub-control room,is it okay?>>

<<...Fine>>

Wang shuts down the radio and looks at Zhangli,in his eyes,the horror of going outside and fighting against real gunners still scares him.After all,all of their luck was spent to take down two guards that only have QJY-88,if they have to face the sub control room guards,most of them won't be back alive:

"Zhangli..."

"Well.."-the engineer stands up holding the submachine gun he got from the armory and walks toward the elevator-"I have a family in the central delta,and many of you staying here are also like that."

The elevator opened,but before getting into it,Zhang turned back to his comrade:

"And I wish we could choose the right option."
