At that moment, thousands of miles away, Yan Fei suddenly felt a warning surge within him. He instinctively commanded the drone to dive rapidly beneath the water's surface. Then he saw a white light flash on the distant horizon, a beam sliced through the sky, sweeping over the spot where the drone had just been hovering. As it so happened, the two SM-2 Air Defense Missiles had just reached that location. During the brief glimmer, the white light actually sliced one of the missile bodies in half, causing a violent explosion. The other missile, following the drone, dived into the water and exploded underwater.
When Yan Fei noticed the disturbance on the sea, he was startled and urgently maneuvered the drone to dive rapidly, reaching the maximum diving depth of 600 meters in the shortest time and then sped away to the south.
