Chapter 1539: Chapter 878: Ambush? (2)
If Xiaodong leaves just like this and returns rashly, in his view, it’s a dead end, so the captain wants to step forward.
Whoosh!
The young man pulled out the dagger again and said painfully, "Don’t force me, really."
As he spoke, he retreated backward.
No one dared to step forward. If they got scratched now, without a tourniquet and antibiotics, it would be dangerous if the wound got infected.
The captain sighed, looked at the people beside him, and said slowly, "Let him go."
The crowd stopped, watching the young man leave step by step.
In the crowd, two mothers looked at the young man’s departing back, feeling inexplicably suffocated and uncomfortable, tears falling constantly.
The sun came out.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
The eastern sunlight shone on the young man heading west.
Giving a sense of moving from light to darkness.
....
Rescue base.
After Li Yu came down from the building, he saw Luo and others standing excitedly in front of a helicopter.
Luo’s eyes were bloodshot, and his beard was scruffy. To make things easier, they had taken off the anti-explosion suit, and the clothes inside were stained with black oil and other dirty stuff.
Even his face was dirty, but his mouth cracked into a smile, revealing his teeth.
Luo’s teeth weren’t exactly white, but against his dirty face, they appeared whiter.
Besides Li Yu, Third Uncle and a few others also approached the helicopter.
Luo looked at them and said, "Come and see."
After speaking, he boarded the helicopter, operated a few buttons, and as the engine roared, the body slightly vibrated, and all the dials on the helicopter lit up.
"Truly amazing!" Li Yu’s eyes lit up, and he said to Luo:
"Luo, you did it, really? Is it repaired?"
After hearing this praise from Li Yu, Luo felt entirely comfortable.
Lao Yi, who ran over to join in the fun, saw and also praised:
"Luo, you’re really something."
Upon hearing these four words, Luo felt like he was floating on air.
A man remains a boy until death; being told ’you’re really something’ is the highest praise.
Luo’s smile couldn’t be contained.
After hearing Li Yu’s question, he smiled and said, "There’s basically no problem now, and the electronic beacon is also repaired. It won’t be like before, where we had to visually identify directions; this can save some time.
The electronic beacon, you just need to set up an emitter on the ground, and the helicopter’s receiver can switch the emitter’s frequency, then you can see a point on the receiver, just return directly."
Upon hearing this, Li Yu felt that the electronic beacon was quite useful.
Looking at the repaired helicopter, Li Yu was eager to try.
But was stopped by Third Uncle, who said to Li Yu:
"Let me do it; this was just repaired. Though you know how to fly it, you’re inexperienced, so let me handle it."
Li Yu wanted to say something, but Third Uncle stopped him directly.
Li Yu naturally understood the reason for Third Uncle’s actions.
Helicopters are convenient, but if something goes wrong in the air, the fatality rate is the highest.
On the ground, you can still jump out, but if a helicopter has a problem, the risk is much higher. The parachutes typically used open at a minimum height of a hundred meters.
Seeing Third Uncle put on a parachute and board the repaired helicopter, Li Yu felt slightly more at ease.
....
On the first floor of the building, inside a circle.
Ghost Head nudged Liu Cunyi’s shoulder and whispered:
"They say the helicopter is fixed, do you believe it?"
Liu Cunyi glanced over, shook his head, and said, "I don’t believe it anyway. Repairing a helicopter isn’t that simple, but these people are full of energy, not sleeping for a night and still so spirited."
Ghost Head nudged Zhang Rufen, who was watching the repair personnel intently, and asked: "Rufen, what do you think?"
Zhang Rufen didn’t answer him, still watching those repair personnel.
Last night, he barely slept, one reason was that he was now restrained physically, and the other reason was that he felt he had seen these people somewhere before, which puzzled him.
"Rufen, what are you looking at? I’m asking you."
"Hmm? What? What did you just say?" Zhang Rufen withdrew his gaze and looked at Ghost Head sitting next to him, puzzled.
Ghost Head said speechlessly, "I said, do you think they really fixed that helicopter?"
"Maybe, after all, these people don’t seem simple." Zhang Rufen replied after hearing this.
Hearing this, Liu Cunyi leaned over and said, "How about we make a bet?"
...
On the other side.
Third Uncle was piloting the helicopter, slowly moving indoors, while Luo and others were directing and guiding at the front.
There were no problems driving on the ground.
Third Uncle thought to himself.
Soon, he maneuvered the helicopter outside.
The landing gear on the Zhi-8 was wheel-based, so it could taxi on the ground. But if it were skid-type landing gear, it would have been troublesome.
Just moving out of the indoor area would have required using a truck with high horsepower to tow it.
After driving outside, Third Uncle put on a headset, then operated the controls on the console.
His expression remained calm, as if not at all nervous.
Once he pressed the final button, the helicopter’s rotor slowly started spinning, and then the helicopter gradually ascended.
