Chapter 365 It's Not Your Fault, Melinda

"What did you say?!!"

After hearing Sheffield's report, Director Priss stood up from his seat, his face was extremely ugly.

"Shot down? How could it be shot down? Explain the matter to me clearly!"

Seeing that this guy was about to start hysterics again, Sheffield had no choice but to repeat the news he had just received to Director Priss.

"It was Nick Fury. The radar system of SHIELD was more advanced than I thought. They had noticed our intentions in advance and sent a fighter to intercept our plane.

The performance of their fighters was also more advanced than ours. Our pilots were almost locked by the opponent as soon as they discovered the opponent. They had no time to make evasive actions and were hit by the opponent's air-to-air missiles. Finally, they crashed into the Atlantic Ocean."

Sheffield did not exaggerate and told Director Priss all the information he had at present.

"SHIELD, SHIELD again, Nick Fury again! I shouldn't have agreed to Pierce's proposal to let Nick Fury take over as the director of SHIELD!"

Director Priss knocked everything on the table to the ground in anger. Not satisfied with that, he simply kicked the table in front of him.

"Ah!"

The hard marble desk was obviously not something that the toes could resist. The pain from the toes finally made Priss regain some sanity temporarily.

"Damn it, damn it, hiss~ I can't let this guy continue to get in the way, I want to remove him!"

...

The sight returned to the sky above downtown New York. The Chitauri army, which had been hit hard by Lainie, had regained its strength. They regrouped and rushed out of the portal like dumplings, launching a new round of attacks.

"Everyone, hold on tight!"

With a frown on her face, Melinda controlled the SHIELD 13 fighter to quickly avoid the pursuit of the Chitauri pilots behind her. Alien energy weapons passed by the side of the fighter plane with Melinda's emergency maneuvers.

The members of the investigation team knew the danger at the moment, so they didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of disturbing Melinda who was concentrating on flying the plane to avoid pursuit.

Just now, SHIELD 13, which was originally hidden in the sky, was still worried about the F22 fighter that suddenly approached the battlefield at a high speed, but suddenly suffered an attack from a Chitauri pilot who had been away from the battlefield at some point.

For some reason, this pilot saw through the optical camouflage on the fuselage of the SHIELD 13 fighter, and with only one energy cannon, the unaware investigation team was forced to show up.

Lacking any counterattack means, SHIELD 13 had to flee in the sky, and the jamming bombs carried by the fighter plane had no effect at all when facing the enemy's energy weapons, and the onboard machine guns could not hit the pursuers behind them at all.

Therefore, Melinda had no choice but to drive the fighter plane to lower the altitude, trying to get rid of the pursuer behind her with the help of the towering high-rise buildings in the city center.

However, these aliens were obviously not stupid people with low IQ. After seeing Melinda's plan, the pilot immediately called his companions cruising around to join the hunt.

"Mei? What are you doing?"

Clint, who had the best eyesight, noticed the exhausted Quinjet in the sky from a distance. After seeing the number on the fuselage, he immediately realized that this plane was the SHIELD 13 fighter plane driven by Melinda and others.

"It's a long story. Can you help me?"

Melinda's forehead was slightly sweaty. She had experience in dogfighting in the air, but being chased by such dense and flexible enemies in such a sticky way, even if she was one of the most advanced flying skills, Melinda could only secretly complain.

"It seems that you have to ask the director for a new plane after you go back."

Clint teased, then pulled out an explosive arrow from the quiver behind him and skillfully put it on the bow.

"I hope so~"

Once again, she controlled the Quinjet to complete a 360-degree up and down roll, narrowly avoiding two energy cannons that went straight to the turbojet engine of the fighter, and Melinda quickly leveled the fighter again.

Then, with the help of the reverse thrust of the turbofan engines on both sides of the wings, Melinda quickly completed a sharp turn in the fighter, and the wings on both sides almost rubbed the glass curtain walls of the buildings on both sides, narrowly avoiding another wave of attacks.

Seeing this, Clint raised his eyebrows, and the taut bowstring was released at the same time. The explosive arrow carrying the compressed explosive pierced the air and plunged into the body of a group of Chitauri flying soldiers.

Boom!

The violent explosion instantly enveloped the groups of flying soldiers around that group of flying soldiers, and the high temperature and flames instantly devoured those groups of alien species.

"As expected of the legendary Iron Cavalry, the flying skills are indeed well-deserved."

Temporarily helping Melinda and the others out of danger, Clint still replayed the scene he had just seen in his mind.

He had good self-discipline flying skills, and he thought that if it were him, he would probably not be able to perform such complex maneuvers in succession in the emergency just now.

"I'll say the compliments after the mission is over, be careful."

Driving the plane into an enemy's blind spot, Melinda took a breath and quickly operated the fighter system to try to turn on the optical camouflage again.

Seeing that everyone was in danger, the three members in the cabin swallowed their hearts in their throats back into their stomachs.

"Melinda... ugh~"

Just as he was about to speak, Skye, who was comfortably seated by the seat belt, suddenly felt dizzy. A strong physiological reaction hit her heart, and a strong desire to vomit swept through her body uncontrollably.

Fortunately, this was just retching, and Skye didn't really vomit anything. Otherwise, everyone might really consider abandoning this fighter plane.

The other two members of the scientific research team were not much better. Fitz and Simmons, who often stayed in the laboratory, rarely went to the roller coaster in the amusement park, let alone flight training. Therefore, after encountering such a situation, Under special emergency circumstances, if the two of them could not vomit like Skye, it could be considered a very good performance.

Only Mestre looked normal at this time. Although his face was red and white, he didn't show much discomfort.

"We have to leave this area as soon as possible. Staying here will only cause trouble for Leni and the others!"

Melinda ignored the people behind her and quickly adjusted the attitude of the fighter plane. The optical camouflage module on the aircraft was restarted, and she immediately controlled the fighter plane to begin to increase its altitude and prepare to return to the sky.

"Watch the rear! Melinda, you are exposed!"

Leni's voice suddenly came from the communication channel. Melinda was startled when she heard this. She was about to readjust her body to avoid it, but she didn't want to make any moves at this time. It was already too late.

boom!

An energy strike from an enemy aircraft hit the turbofan engine on the right wing of the Aegis No. 13 fighter. The violent explosion tore apart half of the wing in an instant, and the turbofan engine was also severely damaged and shut down.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky from the side of the aircraft, and the Aegis 13, which had lost half of its side, immediately began to topple to the right.

In desperation, Melinda could only hold the control stick tightly and try to increase the thrust of the fighter's turbojet engine to maintain the balance of the fighter.

However, the enemy had no intention of letting go of the fighter plane. The Chitauri pilots in the sky controlled the seated aircraft and fired two energy cannons again, completely shattering Melinda's attempt to rescue the Aegis 13. hope.

Beep beep beep!

The piercing warning sounded throughout the cabin. Melinda clutched the control column tightly, saying nothing to make the plane plunge into the ground.

"Prepare for a hard landing!"

With just enough time to shout out this voice, the out-of-control Aegis 13 fighter jet spun back and forth in the air several times, and finally fell towards the Central Street, which had just experienced a battle.

"Damn it, Tony! Skye and the others have crashed! Go to the rescue immediately!"

Vaguely, everyone in the cabin could only hear the anxious voices of Leni and others coming from the communicator.

…

"That's not your fault, Melinda, you just did what you were supposed to do..."

"But she is still a child! She is only an 8-year-old child!"

"I know, Melinda, but you have to do that in those circumstances, otherwise more people will die for it."

"No, I can't. I close my eyes now, and all I can think about is the child lying in a pool of blood. I..."

"Okay, okay, relax Melinda, take a deep breath, relax... Let's do this. I'll ask the director to give you a few days off. You can have a good rest. You can leave the affairs of the bureau alone for the time being. You need a rest urgently now." , you are really too tired..."
