Chapter 400: Chapter 200 Fear of Death_2
But worldly matters are unpredictable, and accidents can happen at any time. These SM-2 air defense missiles had climbed to an altitude of 24,000 meters and continued to ascend, quickly reaching 30,000 meters, and their flight speed incredibly reached four times the speed of sound. Based on such flight data, although these SM-2 air defense missiles could not catch up with the THAAD missiles, they could still threaten and attack the drone.
Upon seeing the abnormal data displayed by the SM-2 air defense missiles, Yan Fei was initially stunned, then he had a sudden realization. He had previously obtained the data of the SM-2 missiles from the internet, who knew that this data was not at all accurate. It now appeared that the United States had intentionally reduced the data before making it public, aiming to lull their enemies into a false sense of security and then strike a fatal blow when attacking.
However, even if these SM-2 air defense missiles had concealed their strength, Yan Fei did not take them seriously. After all, they were too slow, and the drone’s aircraft cannon shells could easily take care of them. Now, the only threats to the drone were the THAAD missiles that surpassed eight times the speed of sound and the modified steel ball missiles. But those modified steel ball missiles definitely could not reach the altitude of 30,000 meters, nor were they that fast. As long as the incoming missiles weren’t THAAD missiles, the drone could easily handle them.
But suddenly, Yan Fei thought of something, so he immediately adjusted the combat plan. He didn’t take the approach of using the on-board naval gun to shoot down the incoming missiles, but instead he lowered the drone’s nose again and rapidly descended toward the distant sea surface. From a distance, the drone could be seen rapidly descending nearly vertically, and behind the drone trailed a long series of tails of flames from the SM-2 air defense missiles, looking like an unending fiery dragon.
The drone’s speed increased, and it got closer and closer to the sea surface, but it didn’t slow down. The drone plunged headfirst into the sea, perfectly suppressing the splashes, and then disappeared into the seawater. Just as the drone vanished above the sea, the SM-2 air defense missiles that were chasing it consecutively hit the sea surface, causing violent explosions and stirring up huge plumes of water, along with dozens of innocent fish killed by the blasts.
Once the drone entered the sea, it quickly dove to a depth of 600 meters at the seabed, traveled over ten kilometers into the distance, and then remained motionless on the ocean floor. However, the drone had activated its quantum radar, constantly monitoring the situation on the sea surface.
Soon, the three South Korean destroyers arrived at the location where the drone had just entered the water. Their radar equipment was inadequate, and they didn’t clearly see the specifics of the drone’s water entry, not knowing whether the drone was destroyed by their missiles or if it had gone into the water on its own. So they circled and searched the area continuously, but found nothing, and then began to drop deepwater bombs in the location where the drone had submerged. For a while, the entire sea area was filled with muffled explosion sounds, and columns of water shot up from the blasts, killing numerous innocent fish in the process.
The deepwater bombs exploded continuously, almost covering the entire sea area, but there was no other movement under the sea except for the explosions of the bombs. Soon, the three South Korean warships had deployed several hundred deepwater bombs in the area. Then, they stopped dropping deepwater bombs, and once the sea surface returned to calm, they began to release small submersibles. They intended to use the submersibles to go below the sea surface to inspect the situation, and see if the destroyer’s mysterious aircraft had indeed been destroyed. If the mysterious aircraft was really destroyed, they would try to obtain the wreckage of the mysterious aircraft.

The commotion caused by the three South Korean destroyers took half an hour. The drone had been paying close attention to their actions from the sea floor, and seeing that they had stopped dropping deepwater bombs, it immediately started up the drone and quickly moved toward the three South Korean warships.
The noise of the Level 4 drone when it moved underwater was very small, basically close to the background noise of the ocean. Without special equipment, it was practically impossible to detect the presence of the drone. So when the drone came close to the three South Korean warships, it wasn’t detected at all. Then, the drone suddenly surfaced, quickly appearing less than 20 meters from the Sejong the Great, rose into the air, hovered one meter above the sea surface, and launched an enhanced AGM-114 Hellfire Missile at the nearby Sejong the Great.
The three South Korean warships had become somewhat complacent over time, not having detected the drone and assuming that the mysterious aircraft had either been destroyed by their missiles or had fled from the seabed knowing it was outmatched. They didn’t anticipate that the drone was right beside them and hadn’t gone far away at all. Now, waiting for the right moment, it suddenly emerged from beneath the surface, launching a missile attack against them unexpectedly.
The Sejong the Great detected the danger the moment the drone missile was launched. It began to maneuver evasively and prepared to counterattack. But the drone was too close to the Sejong the Great, making it virtually impossible to evade. Moreover, the drone was flying very low, practically skimming the sea surface, and due to the position being almost overlapping with that of the Sejong the Great, the warship found it had no suitable weapons to attack the drone at that time. Meanwhile, the other two South Korean warships were blocked by the large body of the Sejong the Great, unable to get a clear line of fire on the drone.
