Chapter 188: The Moment of Life and Death

Looking at the gradually darkening sky and the thicker sandstorm not far away, the four team members in the helicopter all looked a little frightened.

No matter how advanced human science and technology are, in the face of natural disasters, they are still as small as ants.

"Get on my plane and still want to go down?"

In the helicopter cab, after hearing Nalan Jun's words, Ma Xiaotao spoke.

However, after seeing the sandstorm getting closer and closer, he lowered his head and glanced at the prediction map of the sandstorm displayed on the screen, and Ma Xiaotao, who gradually became solemn, clenched the helicopter control stick in his hand, and then said: "Everyone, hold on!"

After saying this, Ma Xiaotao swung his joystick violently, and the slightly inclined helicopter quickly flew towards the airspace where the sandstorm had not yet passed. Ma Xiaotao had to pass through the front of the sandstorm before it arrived, so as not to be affected by the sandstorm.

However, Ma Xiaotao still underestimated the speed of the sandstorm, and it didn't take long for the sandstorm to arrive in this airspace, and the helicopter that had not had time to leave was swallowed by the sandstorm again.

The thick dust blocked the sun's rays and the view of everyone in the helicopter, and the cockpit of the helicopter gradually darkened.

As the driver, Ma Jingtao can basically only see the situation more than ten meters ahead.

Under normal circumstances, in the face of such a situation, the helicopter that does not have the conditions for take-off must choose to land. However, at this time, under the helicopter, there is an endless ocean, and if he wants to survive, Ma Jingtao must drive the helicopter and rush out of the sandstorm!

Seeing this, Ma Jingtao, whose expression became more and more determined, continued to swing the helicopter's control stick while speeding up the flight, and the helicopter continued to fly in the air with extremely low visibility in an arc trajectory.

During this process, the four members of the helicopter could clearly feel that the entire helicopter was constantly trembling. The whole helicopter was being held by the big hands of a giant, and it was playing with it casually.

Seeing this, the four people looked at each other, and finally could only choose to believe in Ma Xiaotao, who was piloting the helicopter, and then tightly held everything that could stabilize themselves.

At this moment, with the lightness of their bodies, the four of them suddenly felt that the entire helicopter seemed to be out of control, and fell straight towards the sea below, although the wings of the helicopter were still rotating, but it seemed to have lost its effect.

Even though the helicopter was sitting in the most elite special combat team members of Huaxia Kingdom, it was the first time for several people who had experienced this kind of accident, and their faces suddenly turned pale, and several people subconsciously grabbed the things in their hands, and some people even closed their eyes.

In the cockpit of the helicopter, in the face of a sudden strong air convection movement, the out-of-control helicopter fell straight down with the descending air flow.

If there is no reaction, as mentioned before, the entire helicopter will probably be swept directly into the sea.

"Get up for me!"

Facing the helicopter at a lower and lower altitude, Ma Jingtao, whose face was flushed, drove the helicopter's power to the maximum, while desperately pulling the helicopter's joystick, trying to regain control of the helicopter.

In the end, Ma Jingtao's efforts were successful, and in the dim sandstorm, a helicopter planted towards the sea was about to touch the sea level at the top of the helicopter's wings, and the helicopter was about to be planted into the sea.

As if a finger had come out of the sea, the helicopter with its nose cocked finally stopped lowering its altitude and flew into the sky against the sea level.

More than ten seconds later, the helicopter with a violently vibrating fuselage finally flew out of the range of the sandstorm, and the long-lost sunlight was once again sprinkled on the helicopter.

The sunlight shone through the glass, shining on the helicopter Jiang Chen and the others, after feeling a burst of scorching heat, the few people who closed their eyes suddenly found that the helicopter suddenly stabilized, and several people finally couldn't help but open their eyes.

"Am I dead?"

Inside the helicopter, Nalan Jun, who slowly opened his eyes, looked at the helicopter with a steady height through the window, and the familiar sun in the distance, and Nalan Jun couldn't help but ask.

After saying this, Nalan Jun turned his head, and he looked at several partners around him with a confused face, and also saw the confusion in their eyes.

"Smack!"

The next moment, with a pain in his cheek, Nalan Jun, who turned his head, saw Jiang Chen, who had just withdrawn his slap, and then looked at the other party very suspiciously, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"Does it hurt?"

Jiang Chen, who looked indifferent with a hint of sluggishness, asked.

"It hurts!"

Hearing this, Nalan Jun was very sincere, and he didn't forget to touch his cheek with a slap print while speaking.

"It hurts too!"

Seeing this, Jiang Chen also nodded and said, after all, the effect of force is mutual.

"I'm not dead?"

In the next second, Nalan Jun, who suddenly reacted, opened his eyes wide, and then asked.

"Oooh...."

Without waiting for Jiang Chen to speak, Nalan Jun, who looked excited, couldn't help but roar directly, although the voice was very ugly, but it was full of excitement.

The two members of the Sea Eagle Squad also reacted quickly, and soon screamed with Nalan Jun, and Jiang Chen, who saw this, also showed a smile on his face. Of course, there was a hint of palpitation in the smile.

In the helicopter cab, listening to the voice from behind, Ma Xiaotao, who had some cold sweat on his head, finally showed the same smile, and after finding that he could reconnect with the finger, Ma Xiaotao, who was driving the helicopter towards the sea area where the incident occurred, said: "Finger editor, this is 5A33!"

In the escort formation more than ten nautical miles away, in the formation headquarters, Zheng Mingchuan, who looked solemn, looked out the window at the endless sea, and on the radar screen behind him, there was no target displayed.

After entering the area of the sandstorm from the helicopter, the helicopter's signal and radio communication become intermittent because of the impression of the sandstorm.

When the helicopter was directly swallowed up by the sandstorm and began to lose control, the helicopter suddenly lost its signal and radio communication was completely cut off.

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire formation headquarters was a little dull, and although everyone was doing their own thing, their eyes unconsciously turned to the radar screen.

"Drop!"

At this time, accompanied by a crisp sound, a familiar triangular sign suddenly appeared on the radar screen that originally did not have any targets, which was the signal of the helicopter piloted by Ma Xiaotao!

"Report, 5A33 signal appears!"

The radar soldier, who had been staring at the screen, shouted.

After hearing this, Zheng Mingchuan, who was originally staring at the sea, suddenly turned his head, and his eyes also saw that the helicopter signal had reappeared on the radar screen, but now it had reappeared.

"Finger up, this is 5A33!"

Soon, Ma Xiaotao's familiar voice was transmitted to the entire command headquarters through the speaker.

"Oh~~"

In the next second, I don't know who shouted, the dull atmosphere in the entire command was less and empty, and many people suddenly cheered in the headquarters, and several people hugged each other for this.

"5A33, here's the finger and report the situation!"

Zheng Mingchuan, who also had a smile on his face, took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"5A33 reported that we have passed through the sandstorm area, and the helicopter is currently normal, and there are no casualties. 5A33 is flying towards the area where the incident occurred, and it is expected to arrive at its destination in ten minutes!" said Ma Xiaotao, who was in the helicopter.

"5A33, according to the latest news received by the editor, just a few minutes ago, we have lost contact with the Indonesian merchant ship. And according to the last news from the captain of the Indonesian merchant ship, the pirates have successfully boarded the merchant ship. After losing contact, we have also heard the voice of pirates talking from the captain's room of the Indonesian merchant ship!" Zheng Mingchuan said, with a solemn expression.

When it lost contact with the helicopter, the escort group had already lost contact with the besieged Indonesian merchant ship, and the sound of gunfire and pirates could be heard behind it.

In the helicopter, because Ma Xiaotao had already switched his voice when Zheng Mingchuan was speaking, so that everyone in the entire helicopter could hear it.

And after listening to Zheng Mingchuan's words, the smiles on the faces of the four Jiang Chen who were sitting in the back suddenly froze, and then they became solemn.

"According to our speculation, the pirates now have control over the entire merchant ship. Therefore, the mission of the operation has changed from expelling pirates to the task of saving Indonesian merchant ships and crews! Ma Xiaotao, can you let the lone wolf speak now, I want to talk to him!" Zheng Mingchuan, who saw this, opened his mouth and said.

After hearing this, Jiang Chen, who did not hesitate at all, stood up, removed the headset from the bulkhead on the side of the helicopter, and put it directly on his ear.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao, who was sitting in the cab, directly switched the connection with the finger to Jiang Chen's side, and after doing this, he gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up.

"Finger editing, I'm a lone wolf, I already understand the situation!"

Jiang Chen, who also gave a thumbs up, immediately said into the headphones.

After hearing that Jiang Chen already knew everything, Zheng Mingchuan in the formation headquarters nodded, and then said, "The specific plan of action is up to you to discuss." I immediately sent the sea eagles their location to the helicopter, and the call channel would also switch to the helicopter. I have only one request, and that is to take the entire merchant ship and its crew back intact from the hands of the pirates!"

"Understood!"

Jiang Chen, who looked serious, nodded in response, and after thinking of something, Jiang Chen immediately spoke, "Commander, before the operation begins, I need a specific structural distribution map of Indonesian merchant ships!"

"I'll arrange it immediately, and send it to your tactical terminal within five minutes, and I'll send a copy over to the sea eagle!"

Seeing this, Zheng Mingchuan of the formation headquarters nodded directly in agreement, and there was no need for Zheng Mingchuan's reminder at all, and a staff officer in the headquarters quickly began to arrange after hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Before the operation began, Jiang Chen and Lu Haiyang habitually brought a tactical terminal, but they didn't expect it to be used.

"I don't have any problems anymore!"

Jiang Chen, who nodded, said.

"Well, I'm here waiting for your good news!"

Seeing this, Zheng Mingchuan replied.

"Lone wolf, I'm a sea eagle!"

A few seconds after Zheng Mingchuan finished speaking, Lu Haiyang's voice came from Jiang Chen's headset.

After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Chen, who reacted quickly, asked, "Sea eagle, how long will it take for you to reach the target sea area?"

Behind the helicopter, about 10 nautical miles of sea, the bows of the two speedboats were slightly upturned, and the members of the joint operations team sitting on the speedboats, led by Lu Haiyang, quickly headed towards the target sea area.

"There is about half an hour before we can reach the sea area where the incident occurred!"

The clothes on Lu Haiyang, who was sitting on the speedboat, were whirring in the strong sea breeze, and with windproof sunglasses on his face, he glanced at the position on the tactical terminal before answering.

"You already have a general understanding of the situation, the merchant ship has been controlled by pirates, and if we want to recapture the merchant ship, we must first find a way to board the merchant ship without the pirates knowing!"

After Jiang Chen on the helicopter said this, he said to Ma Xiaotao, "Captain Ma, reduce your speed, we have to wait until the sea eagles come up before we can start moving." Since the merchant ship has been hijacked by pirates, with the strength of a few of us, it is difficult to complete the task, so we can only wait for the sea eagles to do it!"

"Understood!"

Hearing this, Ma Xiaotao nodded, and while slowly reducing the speed of the helicopter, Ma Xiaotao began to drive the helicopter and hover over this sea area.

After talking to Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Chen continued to talk through the earphones and said to the landing ocean: "Pirates, my plan is that during the operation, our helicopter is responsible for attracting the attention of the pirates, and you will quietly move from the rear of the pirates to the bottom of the merchant ship, and then climb onto the merchant ship, first empty the pirates on the deck, and open up space for us to rappel!"

"Lone wolf, but there are nine people and two speedboats on my side, is the target too big by then?"

Lu Haiyang, who actually had this action plan in his heart, couldn't help but speak after listening to Jiang Chen's words.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen found that what Lu Haiyang said was very reasonable, and after being silent for a while, he spoke: "Then your sea eagle team is responsible for approaching, and our tactical team is responsible for attracting the attention of pirates from the sky and sea!"

"If you are discovered by pirates during the operation, my side can only launch a strong attack, empty the pirates on the deck, and force the landing!" said Jiang Chen, whose eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Good!"

Seeing this, Lu Haiyang, whose expression was also gradually solemn, did not hesitate at all, and directly nodded and agreed to Jiang Chen's plan.

"We're waiting for you to arrive now, and we'll send you a plan for the merchant ship. Later, we need to confirm the location of the pirate attraction based on the location of your merchant ship!"

"Understood, we'll come here right away!"

Seeing this, Lu Haiyang spoke.

Soon, He Mingzhe and the others on the other speedboat also knew about Jiang Chen's plan, and several people didn't have any opinions on it.

In the process of discussing the plan, two relatively slow speedboats chased the helicopter waiting in front of them and quickly headed towards the area where the incident occurred.
