The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 357 356. Driver's license? Who wants that?

The idea of ​​deep sea did not come suddenly.

Although he has been in prison for twenty years, he has been trying to get information from the outside world in order to plan his future path after being released from prison.

In this prison where inmates often serve sentences of more than five years, he is one of the few inmates who has a relatively clear understanding of the outside world.

Through reading newspapers, magazines, news programs and other channels in the reading room, Shenhai has become deeply aware of this.

The world outside is completely different from what it was twenty years ago.

Twenty years ago, during the reign of the Homelander forces, the native superpowers of the Black Robe Plane had a very high social status.

Anyone who can become a second-level superpower will be eligible to run for city councilor in the region.

At the very least, you can apply to become a local sheriff or senior patrolman.

The more remote the area, the greater the real power it can gain.

The vast majority of society’s resources are controlled by the super-powered class.

They also became the most solid cornerstone of the Homelander's rule.

But with the end of the plane war between the United Government and the Homelander forces.

The forces of the Homelanders were completely swept into the dustbin of history.

The last chance, just before the news of Homelander’s death is announced to the world.

At that time, any black-robed superpower with a little fame, even an inconspicuous small officer or leader in the Homelander forces.

As long as they take the initiative to surrender to the coalition government, even if it is just verbal and not public.

They can also receive preferential treatment from the coalition government.

The most basic condition is to obtain protection in the "post-war liquidation".

Those black-robed superpowers who have high reputation and high positions and have not committed any crimes that are too outrageous to the people will most likely have the opportunity to be appointed as temporary government officials during the transition period.

Queen Maeve, a former member of the Super Seven, has not been subject to any liquidation by the coalition government at all.

He was even rapidly promoted all the way to become the deputy commander of the Interstellar Legion, a position with the highest honor in the United Government Army.

Of course, all this is inseparable from Queen Maeve’s own efforts. She can be said to be one of the few superheroes in the Homelander forces who has no dark history.

But what about "Headshot Girl"?

As a high-ranking figure in the Homelander forces, Shenhai clearly knows that the Headshot Girl's dark history is no less than his own.

Why was she able to hold a high position in the transitional government led by the coalition government while he was imprisoned for twenty years?

Ultimately, isn’t it a question of “taking sides”?

I stood on the wrong side twenty years ago, and it took me twenty years to pay off this debt.

And when these twenty years passed, the entire black robe plane also underwent earth-shaking changes.

The arrival of nearly 300 million mutant groups has undoubtedly squeezed the living space originally belonging to the black robe super-power group.

Basic food, medical care, energy and other aspects are covered by the social welfare system of the united government, and ordinary people do not feel this gap.

It is even obvious that life is much better than when the motherland's forces ruled.

But for the vast majority of black-robed superpowers, their path to upward mobility has been greatly narrowed.

In the plane management department of the Black Robe Plane, the mutant group occupies a dominant position.

Although there is not much difference between the two sides in the number of personnel in these departments.

But most mutant groups are regular employees recognized by the United Government.

The vast majority of black robe superpower personnel are non-staff members recognized only by the black robe plane management department.

The biggest difference is that the mutant group has the opportunity to be promoted to other dimensions and other departments of the United Government.

As for the group of black robe superpowers who are "non-staff members", it is very likely that they can only wander around in the black robe plane throughout their lives.

The "promotion ceiling" between the two groups objectively exists.

Regarding this, Queen Maeve and the Headshot Girl, as representatives of the black robe plane, have made suggestions to the United Government many times, hoping to reduce this kind of discrimination.

Unfortunately, the United Government Assembly listened carefully to the suggestions of the two black-robed plane representatives, but did not plan to change within the next three to fifty years.

Favorable treatment to the mutant group, focusing resources, and other behaviors are rewards for the mutant group's contributions during the plane war.

As the conquered and ruled party, the indigenous people of the Black Robe Plane are able to receive the treatment they have today. In fact, the United Government has done its utmost.

The natives of the Black Robe Plane will need to spend at least two generations "paying the bill" for the forces of the Homelanders.

This is the strategic policy of the coalition government for plane governance and cannot be easily changed.

Deep in the prison, you can feel this, too.

The most obvious example is the daughter of "Demolition Man". As a native of the Black Robe Plane, she is eligible for special admission to the Superpower Academy only if she reaches the level of a top third-order superpower.

If it is a group of mutants, they only need to reach the ordinary third level to be admitted to the Super Power Academy with a high probability.

Under the same circumstances, the black-robed super-powered people have to be better and work harder than the mutants to receive the same treatment.

This forced the Black Robe Plane to enter an era of involution.

Of course, if you don’t set such high standards for yourself and are willing to be like ordinary people, an ordinary citizen under the rule of a coalition government, and live an ordinary life, then you don’t need to engage in involution.

But if you want to obtain citizenship of the coalition government, want to receive the [blessing of popular election], and go to a bigger and broader stage to prove yourself.

Then you must become the best among the natives of the Black Robe Plane.

Shenhai is already over fifty years old this year, and he really can't roll anymore.

However, the coalition government citizenship qualification and the biological life expectancy granted by "democracy's blessing" are extremely tempting to him.

The routes of "publishing books and writing biographies" and "cultural united front" are completely unworkable.

Applying for a teaching position at the Superpower Academy directly under the United Government is likely to be an extremely difficult path.

Now everyone knows that the United Government attaches great importance to the Superpower Academy, and all the graduates there can be said to be chosen ones.

The United Government has many dimensions and a large number of directly affiliated departments all competing for these outstanding talents.

This also makes the screening of faculty and staff of the Superpower Academy extremely strict.

During the Planar War, Magneto, who almost died at the hands of Homelander for the United Government, was appointed Dean of the Academy.

Other faculty members, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Mystique, Cyclops, Wolverine...

Which one of them is not a mutant super-powered person who has made great contributions in the plane war?
Not to mention that there are many commanders of interstellar legions, senior generals of the United Government Army, and various well-known Chosen Ones serving as visiting professors and honorary lecturers of the academy.

Shenhai felt that he would most likely not pass the background check alone.

This is not the time like more than 20 years ago when the coalition government was in urgent need of super-powered people.

There is an endless stream of super-powered people who want to serve the coalition government.

If there is a choice, why would they hire a guy with a criminal record who has served twenty years in prison?

Shen Hai also read in a news magazine that Xing Guang from the "Black Robe Patrol" once wanted to recommend himself for a position at the Superpower Academy with a letter of recommendation from the Chosen One "The Butcher".

In the end, he was rejected by the Super Power Academy on the grounds that Xingguang was a well-known film and television star and might have a negative influence on the students' values.

After thinking about so many paths, Shenhai found that the one in front of him was the most reliable.

Since the United Government places the highest priority on military merit, then we must start with these alien invaders. Six Chitauri airships, each carrying an average of thirty to fifty people, are not enough for the thirteen members of the team in terms of military merit.

The Chitauri warship above our heads, with a diameter of one hundred meters, obviously has greater military merit.

Shenhai knew that if he continued using normal means, he would definitely not be able to compete with those young people in the future.

We must seize the opportunity and do something big!

Several years later, Shen Hai wrote in his memoirs:
[At that moment, I told my companions that we must consider whether this might be our only chance in this life! ]

[This is an action of redemption for thirteen sinners, and also a gift to the new era! ]

However, after the memoir was published, it was exposed by old teammates.

"Fuck Shenhai, he's the only one who's pretending.

We were all so nervous at the time, how could we have time to say something so pretentious? "

"Yes, Shen Hai said something at that time."

"Kill these bastard Chitauri!"

None of the thirteen people who were able to escape from the Chitauri's pursuit and then make a comeback were cowards.

More importantly, it has come to this point. If you choose to retreat now, you will never be able to raise your head in the Black Robe Plane again in your life.

"Electromagnetic Man" interfered with the radar detection electromagnetic waves in the area around everyone, blocking the monitoring of the Chitauri battleship for a short period of time.

The "Phantom Magician" summoned a large-scale snowstorm, but of course it was just an illusion.

However, it can be used to cover everyone as they take off in the aircraft, which will be no problem at least for a short period of time.

This aircraft, which looks like an Osprey helicopter, is an outdated product that has been eliminated from the United Government's armament system.

When used in the black robe plane, at least it is functional enough.

After circling twice in the air, the aircraft flew crookedly towards the Chitauri warship in the air above.

"Fuck, electric shock boy, can you do it?"

The third-level superpower nicknamed "Electric Shock Boy" can achieve a state of "man-machine integration" to a certain extent through electric shock connection with electrical equipment.

But obviously, the turbulence that just occurred in the aircraft made everyone a little skeptical.

"Shut up, I'm a professional, I just haven't operated for 6 years."

"Where did you get your pilot's license?"

"Driver's license? Who wants that?"

As soon as the electric boy finished speaking, the pulse engine of the aircraft under everyone instantly reached full power.

Everyone in the cabin was lying in all directions.

Before anyone could react.

There was a bang.

The aircraft slammed heavily into the outer armor of the Chitauri warship.

Without having time to scold the electric shock boy for his crappy skills, Shenhai quickly called on everyone to hurry and act.

Even with the cover of "Phantom Magician", trying to enter the Chitauri battleship from the outside will inevitably attract the enemy's attention.

But the next moment, six airships parked on the ground exploded under the remote control of "Demolition Man".

The loud explosion, along with six fireballs rising into the air, attracted the attention of the Chitauri guards on the battleship and the Chitauri troops in the prison.

"Metal Boiling Man" took the opportunity to melt a hole about a meter wide in the battleship's outer armor.

After everyone entered the battleship, they found that the alarm had already sounded.

The damage to the outer armor triggered the battleship's emergency alarm.

The Chitauri warriors on duty on the battleship were heading towards their location.

Although no one knew about this, the piercing alarm sound was never a good thing.

“Find the energy source, the power area, and place the bomb there, ready to explode.

In addition, we'd better be able to control this battleship and stay as far away from the encirclement of the Chitauri troops on the ground as possible."

The temporary change in the combat plan made the team's original evacuation plan invalid.

“Electric shock boy, this time it’s up to you!

Driving and operating this Chitauri warship should not be difficult for you, right?"

The eyes of Shen Hai and the people around him were full of hope.

Although the Electric Boy had performed unreliably in the previous aircraft raid.

But among them now, only the Electric Boy has superpowers and is somewhat related to the titles of "pilot" and "driver".

"Fuck, if I had that much power to handle such a large warship, would I still be a level 3 superpower?"

After hearing this, Shenhai really wanted to punch the Electric Boy.

He remembered that when he first started taking action, the other party boasted that there was no electrical equipment on the planet that he could not control.

"Ok ok, I'll try my best..."

Perhaps he felt his teammates' inner urge to beat him up.

The electric shock boy quickly changed his words.

"Buzz buzz~"

At this time, a group of fully armed Chitauri soldiers emerged from the entrance of the bridge not far away. Holding laser guns, they raised their hands and shot when they saw everyone.

The "Metal Boiling Man" quickly melted the metal building materials around him and reshaped them into a thick, ugly metal shield to serve as the "team shield."

In this kind of small-scale encounter inside a battleship, Magnetman's strength is comparable to that of Magneto.

The metal pipes and equipment attached to the surrounding hull were transformed into sharp weapons under his operation, breaking through the air towards the Chitauri soldiers like a rainstorm.

Under their cover, the team was divided into two teams and took action.

A team led by "Demolition Man" went to the power and energy area to place explosives.

A team led by Deep Sea and Electric Shock Boy headed towards the battleship's main control room, trying to seize control of the battleship.

"Didn't you say that as long as there is an electric shock reaction with the transportation vehicle, we can seize control of it?
Why do we have to go all the way to the control room?"

“Fuck Deep, for God’s sake, this is a hundred-meter-long alien warship.

Think carefully with your brain that has been mixed with octopus tentacles. If I can control this battleship so easily, will the United Government let someone like me stay in prison?"

"Fuck you, I'm going to repeat it one last time. Those videos and pictures about me on the Internet are all smear campaigns by haters..."

The two of them were arguing as they hurried on their way.

Until a guy who was obviously taller and bigger than the other Chitauri warriors blocked their way to the battleship's main control room.

It's that lizardman officer.
