Chapter 542: Chapter 253 Hoover Dam_2 Chapter 542: Chapter 253 Hoover Dam_2 This posed a huge problem for Yan Fei; that was how to shake off the enemy fighter jet behind him and ensure the drone could safely reach the reservoir at Hoover Dam. Yan Fei's brain raced, with countless plans surfacing in his mind, only to be continuously rejected. In the end, Yan Fei finally came up with a not-so-solid plan, which could fulfill his goal, albeit with uncontrollable risks.

After repeatedly calculating this plan in his mind, Yan Fei decided to take the gamble. Then, one could see the drone diving rapidly at a low altitude until, as it neared the ground, Yan Fei, carrying Yang Qi, jumped out of the cockpit and landed squarely on the ground. After dropping off Yan Fei and Yang Qi, the drone accelerated upwards, flying towards the direction of Hoover Dam.

Just then, by the bright moonlight, the US Forces' fighter jets behind them observed a fast-flying blurry shadow in the sky with their naked eyes, but this shadow showed no sign on their radar. The pilots immediately recalled the task information they had received before departure, realizing they might have found their target. Their spirits lifted instantly, and they quickly gave chase, only to see the shadow accelerate and within a very short period, rise into the clouds, disappearing from view.

The drone flew rapidly, shedding the pursuing fighter jets, at the cost of a sharp drop in energy points. Soon, the drone returned to an altitude of 25,000 meters and then continued to accelerate, reaching a top speed of 2.5 times the speed of sound. However, just as the drone flew over Las Vegas, its energy points were completely used up.

Without energy points, the drone could no longer be controlled through energy point commands. But this did not mean Yan Fei could not control the drone; it could still respond to Yan Fei's thoughts. Yan Fei continuously manipulated the drone's flight posture, utilizing the enormous inertia to glide at high altitude.

At this moment, a southeast wind was blowing in the sky; the strong wind went from the southeast to the northwest. With the dual effects of its considerable inertia and the southeast wind, the drone consistently maintained a relatively high flight altitude. Under Yan Fei's exquisite control, the energy-depleted drone flew past Las Vegas at a relatively stable speed, heading towards Hoover Dam.

Despite Yan Fei's superb control abilities, the drone continued to descend during its flight. Yan Fei, undistracted and fully focused, controlled the drone to slow its descent and extend its flight distance as much as possible.

Though the drone's descent was slow, it kept descending; however, as the drone neared the ground, it also approached Hoover Dam. Finally, the majestic Hoover Dam appeared in front of the drone, but the drone's altitude above ground was now less than one hundred meters. Yan Fei rapidly adjusted the drone's posture, relying on inertia and the buoyancy of the air to continue its flight, and managed to fly into Hoover Dam by skimming the ground with its belly.

At this point, the drone had lost all ability to move, but in the moment before hitting the water, Yan Fei still endeavored to adjust the drone's posture, allowing it to enter the water at a sharp angle, reducing the noise upon water entry and trying not to alert the management staff at Hoover Dam.

After entering the water, the drone just floated briefly on the surface before quickly sinking. Without the support of energy points, the drone, upon water entry, did not transform into the best shape for underwater travel but maintained the appearance of a B-2. Devoid of all mobility, the drone slowly sank to the bottom of the reservoir.

The point where the drone entered the water was five kilometers upstream from Hoover Dam, where the average depth exceeded 80 meters, and the depth at the bottom of the reservoir where the drone lay even reached 87 meters. Below the water surface, there was no light at all, everything was pitch dark, and the drone, despite its “sight” capability, couldn't discern its surroundings. However, in such an environment, Yan Fei felt a profound sense of security.

However, without the protection of energy points, the drone's body faced the compressive pressure of the water squeezing from all directions, constantly emitting “creaking” sounds; it seemed that the drone would not last long underwater. But after the drone entered the bottom of the reservoir, Yan Fei was no longer much concerned about its safety. As long as the drone wasn't discovered by the US Forces within the next 9 hours, and when the data refresh time arrived, the drone would naturally return to its peak condition.

Yan Fei took a desperate gamble, delivering the insufficiently ranged drone to Hoover Dam with a masterful display of delicate operation, completing what could be called a miraculous classic operation. It was at this time that Yan Fei took a long breath of relief, finally letting his heart rest. Looking around, he found that he and Yang Qi were standing in a wasteland, with no trace of human habitation anywhere. Under the bright moonlight, there was an almost vast feeling.

Yang Qi had been studying the drone's cockpit when Yan Fei suddenly took him jumping out of the drone, ending up in the wasteland. A curious expression once again appeared on Yang Qi's face; they had jumped from an altitude of 100 meters but landed safely, except for a staggering motion upon touching down, thanks to Yan Fei's guidance.
