Chapter 573: Chapter 262 Data Refresh_4 Chapter 573: Chapter 262 Data Refresh_4 Tripitaka now only had the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms” technique that could indirectly attack Yan Fei across the ultrlong distance. However, after witnessing the strange phenomenon when Yan Fei neutralized that huge rock, Tripitaka hesitated, not daring to launch another attack. After all, the “Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms” consumed a great deal of energy and was a trump card skill of his. Even as a God-level Expert, he couldn't use it consecutively.
The Hoover Dam was still brightly lit. Under General Miller's urging, two salvage ships had already made their way upstream. These two salvage ships had already deployed the salvage tools, and with the help of deep-sea submersibles and divers beneath the surface, they had connected the mysterious aircraft with the salvage tools. Then, under General Miller's expectant gaze, they began to salvage the mysterious aircraft.
Although the mysterious aircraft was massive in size, its actual weight was quite light. Therefore, during the underwater salvage operation, simply connecting it to the salvage tools made the entire salvage work very simple and effortless. Under the workers' control, five minutes later, the mysterious aircraft, which was 87 meters below the surface, was brought up to the surface.
Under the illumination of the tugboat's floodlights on the water's surface, the mysterious aircraft, though not yet raised out of the water, was already clearly visible to those on the tugboat. Upon seeing the mysterious aircraft within reach, General Miller's heart pounded wildly. If The United States of America could obtain this aircraft, it would undoubtedly master the advanced technology contained within, and the military strength of The United States of America would balloon once more, allowing them to trample all other countries underfoot. For a professional military man, there was no greater joy than crushing the enemy.
Seeing General Miller so excited, his deputy spoke with the tone of witnessing a ceremony, “It is now 3 a.m., and under General Miller's brilliant strategy, we are about to witness and make history…”
But just as the deputy hadn't finished speaking, an unexpected incident suddenly occurred. The mysterious aircraft, which had been motionless, seemed to flicker with light, then underwent some unbelievable changes. The steel cables that had been securely locking the aircraft in place passed through its body, as if the mysterious aircraft didn't exist at all.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, only to find the salvage tools in the water empty, rapidly surfacing. Meanwhile, the mysterious aircraft quickly sank, soon disappearing into the deep water area where they could no longer see clearly.
Miller was stunned for a moment before he bellowed, “Can somebody tell me what the hell just happened?”
One of the technicians in charge of the salvage said, “General, we don't know what happened. It's as if that mysterious aircraft just vanished in an instant, and everything we used to secure it has been broken free.”
Miller suddenly cried out, “Quick, check the status of those two huge concrete blocks that were holding the mysterious aircraft underwater!”
After a while, news came from his subordinates, “General, the chain locks on the two concrete blocks binding the mysterious aircraft have also been unexplainably unlocked. And…”
Miller, anxious as ever, said, “Out with it! What happened?”
The person beneath the surface replied, “We can't see the mysterious aircraft underwater. It's just vanished.”
Miller, furious, roared, “How is that possible? We have this area sealed water-tight, and the aircraft is already damaged. How could it just disappear?”
