“Brrrrrrrr…”
A hail of bullets peppered the fuselage of the plane in a flash.
The sparks from the bullet impacts decorated the side of the plane.
The whole plane was turned into Swiss cheese by the fighter jet in the blink of an eye.
The fuselage, which was already vibrating, started vibrating even harder after that.
Moreover, the steel of the fuselage, which was slowly crumbling under excess stress, started making dreadful noises.
The flight attendants in the cabin cuddled up together and were busy screaming their lungs out in unison.
“Snap!”
A bullet struck the window in front of Jack Hughes’ seat.
The force from the bullet’s impact instantly fractured the custom-made glass, nearly demolishing it outright.
Jack felt that force and instinctively got down to the floor.
At the same time.
His pupils constricted, enabling him to see clearly. The first thing he saw was the part of the fuselage under the seats were filled with bullet impact dents, as if it was a lead-filled honeycomb.
It was a private jet.
Because of that, the plane itself was not particularly big, which meant that the plane did not have a lot of resistance against impacts in general, and absolutely not enough to resist bullets.
Moreover.
A civilian plane’s purpose was obviously to be used by civilians for civilian flights.
Who would have thought, a civilian plane at an altitude of ten thousand meters would have a close quarters face-off against a fighter jet?
“Bang bang bang…”
“Brrrrrrrrr…”
Bullets rained down on the plane like a hailstorm, but instead of ice, high velocity lead pummeled the plane.
More and more new holes were being formed on the fuselage with sparks accompanying each bullet impact.
Meanwhile, the fighter jet with overwhelming fire superiority over the hapless plane, like a predator toying with its prey, circled the plane and continued firing off its auto-cannons.
It was acting like a winner who was torturing the ever living hell out of its dying opponent.
In fact.
Even then, Jack was also feeling helpless. He was sweating bullets, as he also realized that the enemy was toying with him. The fighter jet had missiles, but it was insisting on continuously peppering his plane with bullets instead of using the missiles. They were obviously taking their sweet time to slowly pick the plane apart.
If it was the past Jack, he would never tolerate such shaming and embarrassment from his enemies.
The current Jack, however, he was rather relieved about his current situation.
If their enemies had the mindset of playing with their prey, his plane might stand a chance to survive the attack.
Or else, a missile could very easily blow his plane out of the sky.
The so-called “Deadly Three Minutes” would also seize to exist.
“Speed up! Hurry and speed up!”
At that moment, Jack couldn’t care less about exposing himself or not. With the fuselage still vibrating, he rushed all the way and reached right outside of the cockpit, and yelled at the top of his lungs.
The engines gave out a mechanical roar, and the plane started speeding up.
In reality, the pilot had already sped up the plane ever since the fighter jet showed up, and now… The pilot had probably put the plane in full throttle.
Even with the plane travelling at its top speed, it was still outpaced by the fighter jet, who never ceased firing its guns relentlessly on the plane.
Jack was scared and perturbed.
He also took on a sinister look and was sweating bullets when all of a sudden.
“Bang!”
“Aaah!”
Accompanying the sound of glass shattering, was someone screaming in terror.
Jack’s body shook, and as he turned around, he stared in disbelief.
One of the two flight attendants that were cuddling with each other was shot and fell on the ground. Blood was gushing out from the wound on her chest, staining the floor with a sinister red. The other flight attendant sat on the floor with desperation, screaming her lungs out.
