Chapter 441: Goodbye Mary
Liu Zhan didn't want her to sleep, afraid that she would never wake up again.
He shook her slightly, and Mary opened her eyes again.
"We still know so little about each other, but we never have a chance again. Mary knew that her life was coming to an end.
"Mary" Liu Zhan didn't know what to say.
"Thank you for everything you've done for me, Liu Zhan. ”
"Don't leave me, you dare to leave me to try!"
"Fool, do you think this is your territory, can you call the shots?" Mary wanted to laugh, but she didn't.
The expression on her face became a little strange, "You don't mind. ”
"What?"
"I want to be friends with that woman named Kimbel Ying? Do you think that's acceptable?"
Liu Zhan suddenly wanted to scream in anger, wanting to tear the whole world to shreds.
Mary's voice was so faint that it was almost inaudible, "Don't let my grave be overgrown with weeds, Liu Zhan. She said, "I don't want weeds. ”
"I don't"
Liu Zhan didn't understand, what did Mary mean when she said don't want weeds? But her eyes were closed, and she didn't speak again.
Liu Zhan had been busy adding branches to the bonfire all night last night, constantly replacing the heated stones, and now he no longer bothered with the campfire outside, and it was useless for Mary to keep her body warm.
He knew it must have been her wound that was getting worse, and probably the bleeding hadn't stopped.
Liu Zhan didn't want to leave Mary for the sake of adding firewood, not for a second.
He lay down beside Mary and took her in his arms, trying to help her drive away death.
This is not the first time that Liu Zhan has dealt with the god of death, even a man as powerful as Yan Luo is obviously a little powerless in the face of the god of death.
Martha's breathing became more and more subtle, and it was difficult to detect it.
After about an hour, Mary's body moved and she opened her eyes.
Looking vacantly ahead, her lips opened slightly, and Liu Zhan didn't hear what she was saying.
"Mary? Stay with me, Mary! "
Mary's voice sounded like a staccato sigh.
"For a moment, I thought we could change the world, you and me. ”
Mary stretched out her hand to Liu Zhan, her hand was like a ribbon rolled up by the wind, swinging weakly, gently brushing past Liu Zhan, Liu Zhan felt that his heart ached to the point of no return.
Then, her arm fell gently to her side, and Liu Zhan looked up at Mary, her eyes closed forever.
Liu Zhan quietly hugged Mary and lay motionless.
The fire outside the tent had long since been extinguished, and after an hour, Liu Zhan noticed that his body was also starting to get cold, and he finally gave up hope and gently put Mary down.
Liu Zhan is no stranger to death, and it should be said that death has always been with him as an adult.
He was familiar with all kinds of death, but he did not lose his reverence for life because he was so commonplace.
Liu Zhan never thinks that there is such a thing as a good death, in his eyes, it is just a good life to draw an end, such as Mary. Death is a liar, saying that death can bring people permanent peace, when in fact death often brings permanent pain.
In Liu Zhan's opinion, the Grim Reaper is not qualified to take Mary, he knows that Scott, the spokesman of the Grim Reaper, will come back, and that bastard is not qualified to take Mary, he owes Mary a life.
The thick fog that had been lingering after yesterday's storm began to fade slowly, and the sky was getting brighter.
Liu Zhan slowly got up, mechanically dismantled the tent they had been sheltering in last night, and gently placed Mary on the paved twigs, Mary's skin looked as white as the snow around her.
Liu Zhan took out all the things in Mary's pocket, a purse, a pen, and a few pieces of paper, which would be the perfect ignition if she could find something that ignited the fire, as well as Mary's favorite reading glasses and a nail file that she probably didn't even remember.
Liu Zhan looked at Mary lying on the green leaves, wondering if she was religious.
He silently asked God in his heart, not only for Mary, if there is really God, Liu Zhan himself also needs God's help.
By this time, the sun had risen to the top of the mountain, and the sunlight passed through the trees, caressing Mary's cheek gently.
Liu Zhan lowered his head and looked at Mary with a calm face, unable to believe that she had left him forever. Liu Zhan let out a long, angry roar at the sky like a wounded beast, then bent down to pick up Mary and walked forward.
The avalanche took away the magnificent beauty of the snow-capped mountains, leaving behind a strange and ugly mountain, and Liu Zhan almost tripped over rocks and snowdrifts several times.
The avalanche that occurred at the height of the valley caused a large number of stones to accumulate at the bottom of the valley that had tumbled down from the mountain, forming a narrow deep valley between the adjacent high mountains, and Liu Zhan barely crossed the deep valley with Mary in his arms.
In front of the sliding rocks and deep valleys, there is a flat area on which the snow remains intact.
Liu Zhan thought to himself that Scott would definitely come here because this is the only place where the helicopter can land safely.
Liu Zhan placed Mary in a place not far from the collapsed hillside.
He found a place that was full of sunlight and without any shade, a suitable place for Mary, and laid her flat on the snow. When the fog clears completely, she'll be visible from miles away.
Liu Zhan knelt down, gently combed Mary's hair with his fingers, arranged a strand of hair covering her cheeks, lowered his head and kissed her lips lightly, Mary's face was full of tears, Liu Zhan's tears.
Then Liu Zhan turned away from Mary, hurriedly crawled to a hidden place, and waited quietly.
Before the fog in the depths of the valley had lifted, the hind helicopter flew towards the valley from the direction of the rising sun.
Liu Zhan first heard the rumble of the rotor blades, and then saw the figure of the hind, and the helicopter was getting closer and closer, and he could already hear the noise of the turbines.
It's the same two Hind helicopters from last time, flying all the way towards the valley, slowing down as they approach the avalanche and hovering high altitude, and they'll soon find Mary's body.
Liu Zhan decided to make an end here.
He had no choice, he couldn't get to Afghanistan before the helicopter, he would get caught by them like a rat in a barn. So take the right to end it all here, where they killed Mary.
The avalanche that day obviously made the pilots of the two hinds dare not make a mistake easily, although Scott became particularly excited after discovering Liu Zhan's whereabouts, and yesterday Wren had already said that if he couldn't catch Liu Zhan again, then Scott would replace Liu Zhan and be in that cell and become President Thiago's little mouse.
They circled for a few minutes, and one of them began to descend slowly. Liu Zhan was right, and the helicopter was flying towards the flat terrain in front of the canyon.
The other helicopter was still hovering in the distance, not daring to get too close for fear of causing another avalanche.
The first hind slowly lowered its altitude, worried about whether the snow below would be able to handle the weight of the plane, and when the helicopter came to a complete standstill, the pilot still let the rotor blades turn in a state.
The helicopter's air currents swept the surrounding snow into the air, and the rotor blades slowly slowed down and the snow returned to the ground.
At this time, the hatch was opened, the corners of Liu Zhan's mouth turned up slightly, and a cold smile appeared with satisfaction, It was none other than Scott who was sitting in the cabin.
Scott jumped out of the helicopter, tentatively stepped on the ground, and kicked him with his heel and toe a few more times, and he kicked the ice particles all over the place.
The others jumped out of the plane after him, stooped out from under the still spinning blades, and stood away from the helicopter. Liu Zhan hid behind rocks less than a hundred and fifty yards away from them, observing their every move.
Scott gestured to his subordinates to assign tasks, and Liu Zhan could clearly see the white mist he exhaled.
Then they dispersed, climbed up the rocks piled up the valley floor, and began to search for Mary.
Liu Zhan knew that their search would be slow, and that they would have to cross the mountain collapse caused by the avalanche, which was very difficult to walk, and Liu Zhan had just climbed it.
And they didn't need to hurry, Mary couldn't go anywhere.
Liu Zhan estimated how long he could have, about five minutes? After they find Mary's body, they search for him nearby, and Liu Zhan hopes that he has left no traces.
After a fruitless search, they will soon return to the helicopter.
That's right, he's only five minutes at most.
Liu Zhan quietly approached the tail of the helicopter from the blind spot of the two pilots' sight in the cockpit, there was no place to hide around the plane, as soon as any pilot turned around, he could see that Liu Zhan had left a series of footprints on the snow behind him, there was no way to hide it, but when he approached the helicopter, his footprints were mixed into the footprints left by Scott.
Liu Zhan tiptoed close to the tail fin, as close as possible to the helicopter.
The spinning blades swept towards him like a scythe, and the powerful air currents that rolled up seemed to suck him away at any moment, and Liu Zhan felt that his ears were almost deafened by the loud roar.
The two pilots stayed in the cockpit and looked ahead, and Scott didn't notice Liu Zhan either, and he struggled to climb into the helicopter cabin.
The cabin of the hind is cramped, less than five meters high, and can fit up to eight people, who must be hunched over when standing inside.
Liu Zhan is no stranger to Hind helicopters, during the Afghan operation, Liu Zhan was responsible for training Afghan special operators to use Stinger missiles, these gray eagles on the battlefield are the natural enemies of Hind helicopters, and can blow Hind to pieces.
Therefore, Liu Zhan's so-called familiarity with this helicopter is that it is within the effective range of the missile, and he has never been in close contact with the Hind helicopter before, nor has he ever entered it.
He walked to the rear of the cabin, near the rotor shaft, where the inner walls were covered with a thick layer of soundproofing material that reduced the terrible noise from the engine and rotors.
Liu Zhan tore the soundproofing layer hard, and with a stabbing sound, the Velcro that held the soundproofing layer in place was torn open, revealing a two-meter-square metal plate with hinges at the bottom.
Liu Zhan pulled the lock on the top of the metal plate, and the metal plate fell from above.
Liu Zhan's breathing became a little rapid, and just as he had expected, behind the metal plate was a large mass of intertwined wires, hoses, and metal pipes, all the way to the rotor head.
If the turbine is the heart of the hind helicopter, then the electronics and hydraulics are its brain and spine, respectively, without which the hind would be paralyzed and turned into a useless pile of scrap metal.
The pile of pipelines in front of Liu Zhan is the internal organs of the helicopter, and the layout is very similar to NATO's Apache helicopter.
Hind Helicopter also has dual systems, i.e. two sets of equipment, and when the main system fails or is damaged, the auxiliary system will be activated, so the importance of the hydraulic system can be seen.
The purpose of the auxiliary system is to deal with Stinger missiles fired by the enemy, just in case.
Liu Zhan had no gun or knife on him, and his only weapon was Mary's nail file.
Anyway, even with a nail file, he's going to give it a try.
There were wires, oil pipes and fuel pipes in the messy pipeline, and Liu Zhan found the hydraulic pipe without much difficulty.
The hydraulic hose is a high-pressure hose wrapped in stainless steel woven like a fine twist braid, which is able to withstand high internal pressure.
Judging from the appearance of the hydraulic pipe in his hand, Liu Zhan has probably been at least fifteen years old.
The hydraulic pipe is Liu Zhan's chance, and it is also the only chance, as long as the hydraulic system can be destroyed, the whole helicopter will be completely destroyed.
Liu Zhan carefully examined the nail file for a moment, and then looked away with difficulty, not wanting to immerse himself in sadness. As if holding a bayonet, he aimed at the center of the hydraulic pipe and pushed the nail file harder, but there was not even a single scratch on the hydraulic pipe, so he pushed harder, and the result was the same.
He turned the nail file round and round and used it as a screwdriver, and the hydraulic hose was still intact.
Then he used his nail file as a dagger, and he went down and stabbed the hydraulic pipe, all in vain.
Although stainless steel hoses have been around for years, Mary's nail file is still no match for it.
Liu Zhan did not give up and stabbed the hydraulic pipe fiercely, and the nail file bent after hitting the hose, as if he was humbly begging for mercy.
