Chapter 13: Flying
"An An! Smoke grenades! Jiang Ke gave the order succinctly.
The grenade landed and spewed white smoke outward, forming a smoke screen behind the three of them. Some of the national birds could not dodge, and rushed into the smoke according to inertia, crashing into the birds of prey, making a loud noise, and some hovered up and gave up the dive. This gave the trio a chance to breathe. They ran into the hangar in one go, and sure enough, there was a Hercules and a Wuzhi parked inside.
Jiang Ke ran to the front of Wu Zhi, and after a slight inspection, he sat in the driver's seat, ready to start.
"Aha! Didn't you say you don't just fly a helicopter? At this time, Jaime didn't forget to play tricks, he nodded at Hercules on one side, "Why don't you open that one?" ”
Jiang Ke operated Wu Zhi quickly, he didn't raise his head, and said in a deep voice to James, "After a while, you will slowly pull this pole, hold it, and don't touch other buttons." I'm going to lift the lift, and you'll be out of the warehouse for a while, and then you'll keep going at that speed. See this? When you get to 500, hold this height and drop the rope ladder, which is the button for the rope ladder. “
"Ahhh Didn't you say you would fly a helicopter! Jaime was shocked.
"James, remember what I just said, make good use of your primate brain, I've already set up the basics, don't panic. I'm going to fly that Hercules to lure the bald eagle away, and then I'll fly over in a gliding suit. After speaking, Jiang Ke patted Jaime on the shoulder.
“WTF! What did you just say?! 500, it's 500, this lever, and this key, oh my God! I'm ......" Jaime looked at Jiang Ke in a panic.
"Javis, I'll rely on you!" Jiang Ke hooked the corners of his mouth at him, turned around to fix An An, and threw the backpack on the plane, and James was still sitting in the driver's seat and repeating what Jiang Ke had just said in a panic.
Jiang Ke adjusted the next two M-SEEN, and at this time, the roof of the warehouse could already hear the sound of claws grasping the metal one after another.
"Jaime, if I don't see you in 40 minutes, you're going to go." Jiang Ke said, throwing the captain's M-SEEN to Ruby, "Keep this open, I'll rely on this when I find your position later." ”
Ruby nodded, reached out and hugged Jiang Ke, "Be careful." “
Jiang Ke turned over and jumped off the lifting platform.
After landing, Jiang Ke turned around and ran to the console to set the starting time of the hangar door, and then jumped on Hercules and started. He calculated the approximate time difference in his mind, and as Hercules on his side slowly drove out of the warehouse door, the lifting platform on Jaime's side would begin to rise, which was enough time for him to lure the giant eagle away.
The giant eagle waited anxiously for its prey outside, and when it saw Hercules coming out, they surrounded it. After a short run-up, Hercules took off, and Jiang Ke rose into the air in the opposite direction of Jaime. On the other side, the top cover of the Wuzhi machine could be opened, and Jaime hurriedly operated the Wuzhi to take off.
"Safety!" Ruby observed for a moment, then motioned for Jaime to continue into the air.
"......" Jaime was so nervous that he couldn't speak, he pulled the joystick as Jiang Ke said, and Wu Zhi let out a lot of bumps, "OKOK, take a deep breath......" Jaime reassured himself, "Just pretend that I'm playing a holographic battlefield game, I can do it, I can do it." ”
But with a "bang", Wu Zhi leaned violently to the other side, and the rotating wings almost brushed the lifting platform.
“FXXK! I've never been a big swearer, but now I can't help it! Ruby rushed over and pushed Jaime out of the way, "Get out of the way, Ke has made it clear, why are you pulling the lever like you're shifting the raptor?!" Do you want to perform helicopter drifting? With Ruby's intervention, Wu Zhi finally returned to normal, slowly climbing towards the sky on one side, "OK, what you just said was 500?" ”
"Yes!" Jaime nodded hurriedly, "I have a natural fear of machines!" ”
"Yes, you're right, I didn't feel any fear at all when you flew the Raptor!"
On the other hand, Hercules' speed is incomparable to even the gigantic bald eagles, they can't keep up with the speed of the plane, and they are slowly falling behind, but they are unwilling to give up. Jiang Ke confirmed the time, set the flight mode to automatic flight, then put on his glider suit and goggles, activated the positioning function of M-SEEN, and opened the door at the tail of the plane.
"TASTE THIS", JIANG KE FIRST LOST SOME OF THE CARGO ON THE PLANE TO DISTRACT THE GIANT EAGLE, AND AFTER SEEING SOME OF THE NATIONAL BIRDS CHANGED DIRECTION BY ATTRACTION, JIANG KE JUMPED OUT, SPREAD HIS LIMBS ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTION GIVEN BY M-SEEN, AND SWOOPED OUT......
"I really should wear more clothes", the cold in the sky made Jiang Ke shiver, and he sighed in his heart.
"There are still 5 kilometers to go to the target", reminds M-SEEN, "4...... 3…… 2…… 1......" has reached the range visible to the naked eye, and the altitude is slightly off, but it doesn't matter, Wuzhi's flight is very smooth.
"Flying beautifully", Jiang Ke praised in his heart. Immediately, he adjusted his posture and flew towards the helicopter...... 900 m ...... 600 m ...... 300 m ...... At the last moment, Jiang Ke opened the parachute bag, and the parachute greatly reduced Jiang Ke's gliding speed.
200 m ...... 100 m ...... Jiang Ke aimed at the rope ladder hanging in the air, and as he got closer and closer to the helicopter, Jiang Ke let go of his umbrella bag and relied on gravity and inertia for the final flight.
"My God......" Ruby and Jaime felt like they couldn't even breathe with Jiang Ke's jump.
Then, with the helicopter tilting visibly, the two shouted and hugged each other, "Oh my God, it's so good to be alive, I'm going to cry," Jaime said.
"What are you talking about, I'm already crying!" Ruby's voice trembled.
"Can you pick me up?" Jiang Ke said as he climbed the edge of the helicopter with one hand.
Jaime hurriedly ran to the side of the helicopter and gave Jiang Ke a hand, "I believe you are a stuntman now, it's really exciting!" ”
Jiang Ke climbed into the cabin and looked at the fire caused by the crash of Hercules in the distance. The sound of planes crashing to the ground resounded through the valley, the plants shone with a distinctive sheen, and the firelight reflected the sunset, dyeing the snowy Alaska in late autumn colors.
"I have never doubted the power of nature, the viability of life." Jaime looked at the scenery in the distance, and felt Jiang Ke standing beside him, and a hanging heart slowly fell back to its original position, and he muttered, "Maybe you are really a miracle, the answer we are all looking for." ”
"What?" The hum of the helicopter drowned out Jaime's voice, and Jiang Ke asked.
"Nothing, I said, it's been a really exciting day. I will never experience anything more exciting in my life! Jaime shouted.
Jaime pulled down the headphones in the cabin and threw them to Ruby and Jiang Ke, which facilitated communication.
The helicopter flew safely toward the coastline, with vast forests and rolling mountains below.
Jaime patted Jiang Ke on the shoulder, pointed down and said loudly, "Those look like cars?" And there are so many! ”
Jiang Ke looked down, and it was indeed as James said. In the slightly open area of the forest, there are neatly lined convoys, but these cars are just parked quietly, and they are not popular.
"Could it be that this is left behind by the crowd who fled after the accident at the base?" Jiang Ke thought in his heart. Immediately, he walked up to Ruby's side and patted him, signaling for a change of driver.
Wu Zhi slowly lowered his altitude, seeing that he was almost on the ground, Jiang Ke maintained Wu Zhi's circle, and he jumped off the plane and trotted to the scene of the vehicle to check. Ruby stood on the helicopter and picked up an assault rifle, and if she found out that something was wrong, she would be responsible for covering Jiang Ke.
There were a lot of blood stains left at the scene, and the body of the vehicle was full of bullet holes, judging from the situation, it should be that the US military was resisting the attack while covering the retreat of civilians with firepower. There are two obvious tire marks nearby, indicating that a car has come to clean the battlefield after the war. And judging from the scene, it should be humans attacking humans, which can't help but remind Jiang Ke of the bandits outside Fairbanks, in today's world, the thugs have begun to attack the army? Jiang Ke recalled the situation of the champion that James had said before, if there were enough of them...... Jiang Ke didn't want to think about it anymore.
Jiang Ke walked to the side of the vehicle and began to search along the marks left by the car cleaning the battlefield, and there were obvious traces of being overwhelmed in a piece of grass in front of him, Jiang Ke leaned down to take a closer look. "There should be captives being controlled here, 1, 2, 3, 4...... 11", Jiang Ke counted silently according to the imprints, and some traces were indistinguishable because of the burial of the wind and dust, "Damn!" If only I had noticed it earlier! Damn the weather! However, this number is basically in line with the number of remaining corpses that Jiang Ke found in Anderson, and the traces of walking around indicate the number of attackers, or at least the number of enemies who were cleaning up the battlefield here at that time.
Jiang Ke continued to walk along the convoy, and suddenly he seemed to step on something, he stabilized his body, leaned down and began to dig up.
"Do you think he's going to dig up a mole or a lizard or a rabbit or a snake or something, break its neck, and bring it back to us and say, 'This is our dinner?'" Jaime said in a tone that was in the tone of Master Bei.
"What's going on in your head?" Ruby looked disgusted, clearly disdainful of James's claim.
"You don't understand. Such a hearty dinner is rich in protein, and blood should not be wasted. Especially if you are growing and should eat more. Jaime quipped at Ruby.
The two saw Jiang Ke get up, but instead of holding the dinner that James was looking forward to, it was a small and thin necklace.
Jiang Ke wiped the chain he dug in his hand with his hands, which was a lucky charm worn by the captain all year round. He couldn't help but hold the necklace tightly in his hand. Immediately, he took one last look around, made sure nothing was missing, and returned to the helicopter.
"Passengers, please note that the flight is about to take off." When Jaime saw Jiang Ke coming back, he said in the tone of the airport.
"You ......" Ruby poked Jaime and pointed at Jiang Ke with his chin, signaling him to pay attention to the atmosphere.
"Ahem, what's next?" Jaime is coloring.
"Follow the direction of the car, maybe you can see the survivors." Jiang Ke sat back in the driver's seat.
"I'll do it! You will rest! Ruby volunteered on the side, she stood on the side and watched Jiang Ke operate Wuzhi, and her skills were very itchy.
Jiang Ke nodded, it is unknown what will happen in front of him, and it is indeed important to conserve his physical strength.
Piloted by Ruby, Wuzhi took off smoothly again, this time towards a forest.
However, the helicopter didn't fly long before Ruby anxiously called James and Jiang Ke through the headset, "This is?" She pointed out the window and saw a black cloud in front of the helicopter, which was rapidly coming towards them.
"Hmm...... Interesting. Jaime shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ke asked.
"It's summer, isn't it?" Jaime looked down to confirm the time.
"By month, yes, it's summer." Ruby was puzzled as to why Jaime would ask such a question.
"Well, didn't you think of anything? Use your brain, Ruby," Jaime took a deep breath.
"Are you talking about ...... "state bird"? Ruby's eyes widened suddenly, "It's a state bird?!" ”
"Yes! That's right! Gryffindor Plus 10 points! ”
"What bird?" Jiang Ke asked very puzzled.
"Actually, it's not a bird, it's a specialty here, have you heard of the man-eating giant mosquito?" Jaime explained to him, "It's the one that often appears in movies." However, Alaska does have these giant mosquitoes, and in the summer these giant mosquitoes fly out in swarms to feed, and it doesn't take long for the large animals to be drained of blood. ”
When Jiang Ke heard this, his body had already taken the first step, and he quickly closed the door of the cabin.
"It's just mosquitoes, don't make a fuss." Jaime looked at the black "clouds" that were flying closer and closer, and said very easily.
