Chapter 583: Chapter 266: Maritime Forbidden Zone Chapter 583: Chapter 266: Maritime Forbidden Zone The second battlefield established by the United States of America was located in the Misty Island Sea Area, where they sought to approach Misty Island by warships and airplanes to ascertain the true situation on Misty Island. Confident in their action to breach the area, the reconnaissance aircraft pilot of the US Air Force was the most assured. This pilot had access to inside information, knowing that the so-called forbidden zone around Misty Island was actually man-made. The creator of this forbidden zone had now been lured to the United States mainland, so he believed his current journey to Misty Island on the reconnaissance plane would be very safe.

He only needed to pilot the reconnaissance aircraft, approach Misty Island as per usual operational procedures, activate the reconnaissance equipment on board, and record various data from Misty Island. Once he brought this data back to the US Military Base, he would be heralded as a great hero of the United States.

Therefore, when the reconnaissance aircraft was about to enter the airspace 500 kilometers from Misty Island, the pilot did not hesitate at all, opting to directly enter the 500-kilometer airspace, because, in his mind, there was no danger ahead. However, worldly matters are unpredictable, and despite his expectations, a startling event still took place. As soon as his reconnaissance aircraft entered the 500-kilometer airspace of Misty Island, all sorts of electronic devices on the plane started to malfunction.

The first to show problems was the radar system of the reconnaissance aircraft. The radar screen filled up with static, unable to detect any targets. For some unknown reason, the normally functioning onboard radar had mysteriously stopped working. Next to fail was the GPS satellite positioning system; without the satellite signal, the aircraft couldn't be positioned, leading to a loss of navigation. Then, the reconnaissance aircraft's communication devices encountered issues–all the communication channels were filled with piercing static, unable to receive any clear signals. Lastly, the problem spread to the aircraft's various information recording devices. All these devices also failed to operate normally. The only system still functioning properly on the reconnaissance aircraft was its flying control system.

After discovering anomalies in the reconnaissance plane, the pilot was puzzled. Wasn't the forbidden zone above Misty Island man-made? Wasn't the person who created the aerial forbidden zone lured to the United States mainland? So why were there still issues with his plane? Could it be that this aerial forbidden zone was not a human's doing?

The reconnaissance aircraft pilot, who was previously full of confidence, encountered a rude awakening–the harsh reality turned his prior confidence into a joke. Now facing the dilemma of whether to return immediately or continue forward, the pilot had to make a tough choice.

If he were to retreat in a crestfallen manner, he would not be spared the laughter of his colleagues, given his previous overconfident declarations. However, pressing on meant facing an uncertain future; he had no idea what lay ahead, possibly even risking his life.

After much contemplation, the pilot decided to take a gamble. He bet that this so-called aerial forbidden zone represented an area of electromagnetic anomaly, resulting in electronic malfunctions of any aircraft that flew into it. He presumed that the extent of the electromagnetic anomalous area wouldn't be substantial. If he continued forward, he believed he would quickly pass through this electromagnetic anomaly. Once through, the device on the reconnaissance aircraft would restore to normal functioning, allowing him to get past the 500-kilometer airspace forbidden zone around Misty Island and closely observe the real situation on the island.

The pilot's ingrained characteristics of standing out and a spirit of adventurism, along with the image of the solitary hero promoted as the leading theme in American movies, led the pilot to make a rash decision. He did not turn back, nor did he heed the malfunctioning electronic devices; instead, he maintained his course, continuing to approach Misty Island.

A minute into the flight, the onboard equipment remained nonfunctional, with no improvement in the situation–it seemed he had not yet left the so-called “electromagnetic anomaly” region. At that moment, a flock of seabirds suddenly flew towards them from the front. These night-flying birds hadn't noticed the approaching reconnaissance plane. Similarly, without radar detection capabilities, the reconnaissance plane had not noticed the flock either.

Neither the reconnaissance plane nor the seabirds were aware of each other's presence, each following their trajectories. By the time they both realized the other was there, they were already too close to take any evasive action.

With several “bang” sounds, the US Forces' reconnaissance aircraft was struck by over a dozen seabirds. The relative speed between them was very high, so the collision that occurred was disastrous. The birds were smashed to a pulp by the high-speed impact, and the reconnaissance aircraft sustained severe damage. Not only did cracks appear on the cockpit glass, but the nose was also dented, and one of the engines began to emit blue smoke–it was a sight of despair.

Upon realizing his aircraft had collided with a flock of birds, the reconnaissance aircraft pilot's enthusiasm began to fade. His plane had suffered serious damage from the collision. Not to mention the temperature drop in the cockpit due to the cracked glass; the engine malfunction caused by the bird strike could become a serious problem, potentially even leading to a crash.
