Fighter jets naturally far outrank comrcial airliners in speed, especially considering this one was an F-22 "Raptor."
This jet is a product of the United States, with performance that goes without saying.
Even without activating the afterburners, it can achieve supersonic cruise for thirty minutes.
And its maximum speed hits a terrifying 2,410 kiloters per hour.
Even the most advanced jet airliners can barely reach a speed of 1,000 kiloters per hour.
In other words, the speed of the F-22 is 2.4 tis faster than that of the most advanced airliners.
Nevertheless, it would still take a full 4 hours to reach South Africa!
Because the distance from Huaxia to the South African border is over 9,000 kiloters!
This explains why Su Chen insisted on using Lang Sha to reach South Africa.
Using comrcial flights, just from Huaxia to South Africa would take more than ten hours of flying.
And that doesn't even include the waiting ti for the planes.
Without Lang Sha's help, Su Chen would have been incredibly grateful to arrive in South Africa within twenty hours.
But now, it would take just over five hours.
That is the value of the one million US Dollars.
Moreover, Lang Sha also specifically provided a beautiful female pilot.
Throughout the journey, aside from the tedious waiting, there were added elents of interest.
However, Su Chen had already missed the best opportunity.
The cramped interior of the fighter jet was not conducive to movent, and the female pilot had to be completely focused on flying the jet.
So at this ti, even if Su Chen had other ideas, he could only keep them to himself.
But even just watching the beautiful pilot seriously maneuvering the jet was a pleasure.
If it had been a bulky man, Su Chen might only be left to snooze.
There are about six hours left until darkness falls now, of course, by the ti in Huaxia's capital.
The ti difference between Huaxia and South Africa is over five hours; when it's dark in Huaxia, it would only be around one or two in the afternoon in South Africa.
After flying for roughly two hours, suddenly, a massive object appeared behind the fighter jet.
Su Chen's heart tightened, and he imdiately thought to alert the female pilot.
"Don't be nervous, it's an air refueler," the female pilot said calmly.
Indeed, the F-22 Raptor can fly very fast, but carrying fuel is its shortcoming.
Even with auxiliary fuel tanks, its maximum cruising distance is just 3,000 kiloters.
This cruising distance is insufficient for the jet to fly directly to South Africa.
Of course, that capacity is with the auxiliary tanks after they are loaded with ammunition.
Clearly, this jet is not ant for combat, as it doesn't carry any kind of thermal weapons like missiles.
It's not that they don't want to carry them, but rather that such items are extrely expensive and sowhat difficult to acquire.
This particular F-22 Raptor was acquired at a high cost as a discarded model, which was repaired and put back into service for special missions.
Otherwise, a brand-new F-22 fighter jet, just the manufacturing cost alone is 120 million US Dollars; Lang Sha might afford it but certainly would balk at the price.
Without carrying ammunition, it's possible to attach even larger auxiliary fuel tanks.
Now the jet's cruising range has reached a terrifying 5,000 kiloters.
Still, it requires one mid-air refueling to reach South Africa.
Su Chen couldn't help but admire Lang Sha's capabilities all over again.
Not only could they secure a fighter jet, but they also had access to an aerial refueler.
He had previously underestimated Lang Sha.
If not for combat capability, in terms of overall strength, Lang Sha might very well be stronger than Reverse Dragon Group.
After one aerial refueling, about two more hours passed, and the fighter jet began to descend.
By the ti the jet landed, it was 5:10 by Huaxia's ti, indeed arriving in South Africa before nightfall.
But at this ti in South Africa, it was actually just noon.
However, this wasn't the final destination; there was still so distance to go to reach it.
As expected, a Dodge Tomahawk awaited the two.
This was already the third Dodge Tomahawk.
Dubbed the fastest motorcycle in the world, just one cos at a very steep price, and now three had appeared.
Having experienced the F-22 Raptor fighter and the air refueler, this was no longer a big deal to Su Chen.
After getting on the Dodge Tomahawk again, Su Chen entered the last leg of the journey.
Twenty minutes later, the Dodge Tomahawk stopped in front of a warehouse.
A dark-skinned woman wearing sunglasses was already waiting there.
The woman's skin wasn't the pure black of an African; it was a lighter black, and her features varied sowhat from African won.
Probably a mixed-race woman.
Su Chen did have so reservations about African sisters.
But this woman made Su Chen feel just right.
She had characteristics of an African while being more acceptable to him as a Huaxian.
As though she had integrated the genes of both Africa and Huaxia.
In fact, this dark-skinned woman was a mix of African and Huaxian descent.
Otherwise, she wouldn't treat Su Chen with any special favors.
Letting him run a tab.
Of course, the main reason was that Su Chen always provided more than double the compensation as long as he completed the missions.
This woman was Lang Sha.
Her hair was braided into countless little braids, chewing areca nut in her mouth, looking cool and aloof.
"Hey, Death God, long ti no see," Lang Sha greeted Su Chen from a distance, extending both hands.
Su Chen also hugged Lang Sha generously.
To receive a hug from Lang Sha was very high standard treatnt.
"Do you need anything else?" Lang Sha asked with a smile after releasing Su Chen.
After thinking for a while, Su Chen said, "A four-wheeled all-terrain motorcycle, two silenced pistols, four magazines, one hundred rounds of ammunition, two high explosive bombs, a combat knife, a set of camouflage combat gear, a military telescope... just these for now."
Clearly, he would be facing not just one person this ti, but a group, and very likely a team of rcenaries.
Firearms were necessary even though his hand-to-hand combat skills were stronger, but firearms could enhance his long-range combat abilities and killing speed.
This ti his mission wasn't just to rescue his Reverse Dragon brothers; he also planned to completely wipe out those who dared to strike against Reverse Dragon.
Thinking of this, Su Chen added, "Oh, right, add a Barrett to that, fifteen rounds should do, preferably armor-piercing bullets."
Don't underestimate these fifteen bullets – in Su Chen's hands; it equated to fifteen lives.
Of course, the Barrett served purposes beyond killing.
Otherwise, Su Chen wouldn't bother carrying such cumberso equipnt.
After all, a Barrett's weight alone exceeds the total of all other equipnt.
Lang Sha looked at Su Chen, a bit surprised.
Not because he had too much equipnt, but because it was too little.
This amount of gear would definitely suffice against a small rcenary force of twenty to thirty people, but she probably knew the strength of the enemy Su Chen was about to face.
