Chapter 68: Tier 3 Reconnaissance Aircraft

According to common sense, this line of thinking is not wrong.

Even a Tier 1 reconnaissance aircraft cannot match the speed of a Fighter Jet. Moreover, Fighter Jets are flying units specifically designed for combat, while reconnaissance aircraft are outmatched in every way.

When the Fighter Jet appeared, both the City Defender and the Captain of the Helicopter squadron thought that the reconnaissance aircraft was done for.

Even the big shot who gave the order for the Fighter Jet to attack didn't pay any attention to the situation after giving the order. To him, a small reconnaissance aircraft was insignificant.

Three Fighter Jets, resembling eagles, flew in from the distance at almost visible speed and caught up with the flying reconnaissance aircraft.

This Fighter Jet was the strongest air unit in Base City, called the Black Diamond Fighter Jet.

The three pilots calmly flew their Fighter Jet towards their target and prepared their missiles.

"Let me handle this one. I haven't had a good fight in a long time," one of the pilots said.

The other two had no objections. After all, the rewards for completing the mission would be split equally among the three of them. There was no incentive to try to take all the credit.

If they fired too many missiles at a reconnaissance aircraft, they would surely be reprimanded upon their return.

After receiving confirmation, the pilot was excited and aimed the targeting device at the reconnaissance aircraft in front of them. He pressed the launch button with force.

The missile flew out, and the pilot felt there was no need to watch. The missile was faster than the Fighter Jet, so how could a reconnaissance aircraft possibly avoid it?

With a loud bang, just as the pilot was preparing to return, he suddenly saw a black shadow fly out of the explosion area. It was the reconnaissance aircraft!

"What the hell, this is not scientific. Why didn't the reconnaissance aircraft explode?" the pilot was shocked.

Not only the pilot, but everyone who saw this scene was stunned. This was a Fighter Jet missile, and yet it couldn't even take down a single air unit. Are you kidding me?

Only Su Chen knew that in the Red Alert setting, reconnaissance aircraft had high health because they had no attack power. This meant that they couldn't be taken down with a single attack.

It seemed that the Fighter Jet's missile was powerful, but it still couldn't kill the air unit instantly.

Without an instant kill, the reconnaissance aircraft had the ability to continue flying. There were no broken wings to cause the aircraft to crash in Red Alert.

This was reflected in the reconnaissance aircraft, or else it would have been destroyed by that attack just now.

However, Su Chen knew that if there were a few more attacks, the reconnaissance aircraft would still be destroyed. After all, reconnaissance aircraft could only flee and not attack.

"System, is there any way for the reconnaissance aircraft to escape?"

If the reconnaissance aircraft had been destroyed from the beginning, Su Chen wouldn't have cared. But now that the reconnaissance aircraft had survived until now, Su Chen thought he could salvage the situation.

"With the reconnaissance aircraft's current speed, it is impossible to escape. However, if the reconnaissance aircraft can be upgraded to Tier 3 and awaken its own abilities, there may be a chance to escape."

"Wait, what did you say? The reconnaissance aircraft can awaken abilities at Tier 3?" Su Chen couldn't believe it.

He knew that some of his units could only be upgraded to Tier 3, but he didn't expect that Tier 3 could still awaken abilities. What kind of sorcery was this?

"Units such as Tanks, Aircraft, and Ships, besides infantry, can randomly awaken at least one ability after being upgraded to Tier 3. Generally, it is an ability that suits their own characteristics."

"But how can I upgrade the reconnaissance aircraft's tier? Can't I just use energy to upgrade it directly?"

"Master's Commander authority has been upgraded to level 6, and you now have the power to directly use energy to upgrade the tier."

"The reconnaissance aircraft is so far away. Can I still upgrade it?"

"With Master's current authority, it is possible."

Su Chen rolled his eyes. System, I see through you now.

No Commander authority, no human rights, right?

Only at this moment did Su Chen realize that Commander authority was a good thing. Things that he couldn't use before could now be used.

Without hesitation, he directly upgraded the reconnaissance aircraft to the third level. Suddenly, without anyone noticing, the reconnaissance aircraft underwent a transformation.

The speed of a first-level reconnaissance aircraft made it impossible for anti-aircraft soldiers to do anything. So, how fast is a third-level reconnaissance aircraft?

Su Chen felt it and it was no less than that of a fighter jet!

So, including the three pilots, they suddenly realized that this reconnaissance aircraft suddenly accelerated and ran away!

"Chase, catch up, we must not let it get away!" The three pilots panicked. They thought this mission was simple, but they did not expect so many tricks from a reconnaissance aircraft.

Not only could it withstand a missile, but now, at this speed, damn it, their fighter jets could not even catch up!

"How is this possible? That's just an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft." The pilot could not believe it.

It was precisely because of this speed that the third-level reconnaissance aircraft flew away directly, leaving the three fighter jets afraid to chase after it. The outside world was the territory of Mutant Beasts, and some of their speeds were no less than that of the fighter jets. Once they were discovered, they were done for.

Fighter jets looked powerful, but they were only effective against Mutant Beasts up to the sixth level. When Mutant Beasts reached the seventh level, they almost ignored these fighter jets.

"I'm laughing triumphantly, I'm laughing triumphantly..." Su Chen hummed a tune happily, teasing a Base City. He felt a sense of accomplishment.

But what he was most concerned about was what ability the reconnaissance aircraft awakened after reaching the third level.

Invisibility, transformation!

To be honest, Su Chen really did not expect this reconnaissance aircraft to awaken two abilities, which seemed very powerful.

As for invisibility, it could make the reconnaissance aircraft transparent. Now, unless it was an existence with particularly strong strength, ordinary humans and Mutant Beasts could not detect the existence of the reconnaissance aircraft. This was truly the most powerful reconnaissance aircraft.

As for the transformation ability, umm...

Transformers?

Su Chen felt a little itchy in his hands. He directly gave the reconnaissance aircraft the command to transform, and after a series of complex transformations, it turned into a... car.

Damn it, so this transformation ability was limited to only cars and planes?

"I really thought it could become a Transformer," Su Chen kept complaining.

It seems that the second ability is relatively useless, and the first ability is much better.

"Master, the transformation ability will change into anything according to your imagination. Just now, the master thought of a car, so the reconnaissance aircraft turned into a car," the system explained.

Su Chen's eyes lit up. Was it really that powerful?

"Transform into a robot!"

The next second, the car on the ground underwent a transformation and indeed turned into a robot. Its appearance was very strange, but it was definitely a Transformer.
