Chapter 1

———————————

At 2:50 in the morning, she sat in the seat of the radar station and conducted air command.

The weather map showed that the thunderstorm clouds would cover the entire airport within half an hour.

She looked up and looked outside through the glass window. A flash of lightning was like a sharp sword that cut through the sky, slashing all the way from the clouds to the edge of the sky and earth, covering the clouds and rain with a moment of light.

Thunder bursts, like the roar of a lion.

Such bad weather conditions are not suitable for flying. But at this moment, he is still performing a cruise mission in the sky.

After a short silence, his low and calm voice came from the headset, "91255 has arrived at the scheduled position, please give instructions."

She gave the order, "Receive information."

He repeated the order, and at the same time operated and reported: "Start receiving information, receiving everything is normal."

She stared at the radar display screen and instructed: "Keep heading, pay attention to speed."

He responded, "Roger."

The radar station received the information synchronously, and she issued an order according to the instructions of her superiors, "Lock the target and drive it away."

He issued the first warning: "Attention, aircraft No. 362, you have entered the airspace under the jurisdiction of China. You must leave immediately!"

There was a moment of silence in the channel.

Then, it was his second warning: "Attention, aircraft No. 362, please leave Chinese airspace immediately! Repeat, leave immediately!"

Then the third warning: "Aircraft No. 362, I have locked you, and will drive you away in five seconds."

After that, there was suddenly no sound in the wave channel, and it was so quiet that it made people panic.

She couldnt hold back and started calling, "This is the radar station, calling 91255."

There was silence in the wave channel, as if the communication was interrupted.

She continued to call, "91255, please answer if you hear me."

There was a rustling interference sound in the wave channel, but still no response from him.

Her eyes were fixed on the radar display screen, and her eyes were locked on the light dot representing his plane, "Calling 91255, 91255 please answer!"

After more than ten seconds, he finally responded: "This is 91255, please speak to the radar station."

Her eyes were so hot that she would cry in the next second, but she tried her best to keep her voice steady and give the latest instructions with clear thoughts: "You have completed the expulsion mission and can return at any time."

Then, the voice of another pilot came from the wave channel: "91255, this is 56322, I have been ordered to take over your plane to perform the cruise mission, please return."

Originally, as long as he obeyed the radar stations command to fly around the thunderstorm, the mission would be successfully completed. He would use his deep voice to chuckle in her ear, just like he did before the plane touched down, and said in the airway: "Ill pick you up after get off work after landing."

The airway fell silent again, with only the thunder roaring outside the window.

She had a strong bad premonition and was about to call again to confirm that everything was normal on his side, when she heard him say in the same voice as usual: "91255 received, I cant return, please keep going. Repeat, please keep going!"

The sky cracked at this time, and bean-sized raindrops poured down with lightning, like dense bullets on the battlefield, whistling. She subconsciously closed her eyes in the strong lightning, but what sounded in her ears was not the expected thunder, but the loud noise of the plane colliding and the fighter plane crashing.

I cant return, I cant return, I cant... The next second, his plane disappeared from the radar.

"No!" She woke up with a scream.

She gasped for air until she realized it was a dream, and her tense shoulders collapsed.

Looking up at the starry night sky outside the window, she was sure that her memory was not lost. She even remembered the appearance of her deceased mother clearly. But why did she have an illusion that she had forgotten someone very important?

Then, who was it?

In the silent night, no one answered her question.

Since that night, she, who used to have good sleep quality, had a higher frequency of dreams for no reason, and her dreams became more and more chaotic——
