Chapter 1 (II) Escape
"In the end...... What the hell is going on? Yuri stared at Sergei with round eyes, he was still confused.
Sergei wanted to get up and punch the silly doctor, and anyone with a little brain should have roughly understood what was going on after hearing his words on the phone, but the doctor still didn't understand, so he had to repeat what he knew.
Yuri understood this time, spread out the map again, pointed to the location of the Aral Sea on the map, and said, "You mean that there is a ruin of an ancient city here, hidden in the Aral Sea?" The purpose of our water diversion for so many years is to dig this city out? β
"Yes." Sergei breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that this guy finally understood, and he didn't have to bother anymore.
"Why don't we send someone into the water to determine the location first? Actually using the stupid method of pumping? Yuri was puzzled.
"This operation can't be known, so it took a full 10 years, and only water diversion irrigation is the best cover! And the Aral Sea is so big, we send people into the water, this is also a huge project, you think of Moscow also thought of it. Sergei went on to explain, feeling like his head was going to explode.
After hearing this, Yuri added, "But we can't destroy the surrounding environment just to find a ruin, right?" You must know that the Aral Sea is an inland lake......" Immediately afterwards, Yuri brought out his own academic theory of the environment and elaborated on it in detail.
Sergei was about to break down, because before he knew it, the topic turned back to environmental issues, he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the knife next to him to cut the bread, and he had the urge to grab the knife and cut Yuri's tongue off.
"In short, if you remember my words, either go back to Moscow to find Chaldov, or go far away!" Sergei got up and grabbed the bottle and was about to leave, but Yuri grabbed him.
Yuri looked at Sergei and his mind seemed to open up suddenly. Asked: "Comrade Sergey, are you going to betray the Motherland?" β
Actually, what Yuri wants to say is: Are you leaving?
Sergei looked at Yuri for a while before he said, "I...... That's not called betrayal, every child grows up. They're going to leave their mother's side to wander, you know? Dr. Yuri, no, Comrade Yuri! β
Yuri shook his head and nodded, he didn't know what to say, at this time there was a roar outside, and when he heard it, he knew that it was the roar of an airplane, and it was a helicopter.
Sergei rushed out of the tent and saw a helicopter flying in the distance, but did not land in the camp. Instead, he flew straight towards the ditch site, and Sergey immediately jumped into the car and drove after him, wondering who was on board the helicopter.
After chasing for a while, when I got to the bottom of the ditch. He finally saw clearly that the helicopter was a Mi-26 helicopter, without any weapons and equipment, as if it was sent by the Ukrainian side, but looking at the position where the helicopter flew directly to the ditch, it seemed that people from Moscow were sitting on it.
However, Sergei wondered why he would send a transport helicopter like the Mi-26, which could fit two reinforced companies? There is no need at all.
Sergei had a bad premonition in his heart. Subconsciously radioed the two guard platoons under his command and told them to stand by in full gear.
After the helicopter circled around and began to return to the direction of the camp, Sergei also turned the head of the car and sped towards that side, and the AK47 assault rifle placed next to it was loaded.
The helicopter landed on the side of the camp, and Sergei braked the car far away. Pick up the radio and tell the soldiers not to act rashly, just stare from a distance, act according to their agreed gestures, and if something happens, he will gesture to let them enter a state of free fire.
The tail hatch of the helicopter opens. Two men in military uniforms walked down from it, both of whom were very young, and the man at the head ran straight towards Sergei, without introducing himself, but saluted and took out a document and said: "Comrade Sergey, this is an order from Moscow!" β
Sergei took the document and immediately opened it, which showed that they should destroy or cover up all kinds of engineering equipment on the spot, and then evacuate to the territory of Kazakhstan with the helicopter, and from there return to Leningrad on a military plane.
Damaged or covered up? It is impossible to destroy it, although there are explosives, but the blowing up of so many equipment will arouse the suspicion of the garrisons of several surrounding countries, so let's cover it up! Thinking so, Sergei picked up the radio and ordered the soldiers to inform the sappers who were working on the trench to drive the machinery directly into the trench dug earlier, bury the remaining machines one by one, and destroy the engines with the remaining ones.
But unexpectedly, the two people who came down from the helicopter asked Sergei's guard platoon to get on the plane first, and they hurried to pull them back to the Kazakh airport to standby, which could save a lot of time.
As soon as Sergei heard this, he immediately became alert and rejected the offer, claiming that the sappers should go first, they had worked hard, and the men of the guard platoon and him were temporarily left to clean up the aftermath.
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other, intentionally or unintentionally, and did not insist, but just told Sergey to hurry up, and they went to the plane to wait.
The two returned, Sergei immediately ran back to the camp, and packed his things as soon as possible, if he was not mistaken, the helicopter was sent to extinguish the mouth, as for what way, although he didn't know it yet, but the mouth was 100% extinguished, otherwise how could it be so urgent?
After Sergei packed up his things, he wondered whether to tell the others, and after thinking about it, he decided to leave alone. Because once the matter is said, the soldiers under his command must be excited, and when the time comes, it will turn from a secret battle to an open battle, and the firepower in their hands is not enough, in case there is an ambush of armed helicopters nearby, after the dispatch, they will still be dead.
Sergei sneaked out of the camp by car, but as soon as he drove out, he met five patrol soldiers of the guard platoon, because he was carrying his own things, so the soldiers were very puzzled, and in order to avoid complications, he had to stop and pretend to wait for the others.
After the order was given, it took less than an hour to throw all the engineering equipment into the ditch, leaving five engineering vehicles and several sappers to cover the equipment, while others rushed to the helicopter in cars.
At the same time, four more Mi-26 large helicopters flew, counting the previous one, there are a total of 5 Mi-26 helicopters, which can carry 400 people at a time. In other words, Sergey certainly could not leave alone, but could only return with them by plane.
Sappers after destroying the engines of cars and equipment. I packed my things and started to get on the helicopter one after another, and everyone was actually happy in my heart, although the salary and allowance for working here were indeed high, but no matter how high it was, it was better to go home and be with my family.
Sergei grinded. He pretended to be in the camp and refused to get on the plane, and Yuri refused to get on the plane, but waited for Sergei to leave with him, which annoyed Sergei because he lost the last hope of leaving alone.
Sergei finally walked to the hatch of the plane, frowned and looked at the silly Yuri, feeling that he should have dug a pit and buried this nerd a long time ago, and it would not have happened today.
The helicopter where Sergey was located was finally closed, and the aircraft propellers began to turn. The helicopter took off slowly, and the cabin was filled with cheers, and everyone hugged each other and celebrated that they were ready to go home.
Sergey and Yuri huddled in the side hatch, where the emergency exit was located. Sergei's vigilance has not been relaxed.
The helicopter formation began to fly across the Aral Sea towards the territory of Kazakhstan, but Sergei looked through the window and saw that the helicopters were flying very high, which was not logical, because according to their flight standards, in order to avoid the radars of the already independent countries in the open area, it was necessary to fly at low altitudes.
Sergei kept staring out the window. Then he saw what seemed to be moving rapidly above the Aral Sea below, and then he saw a faint light on the Aral Sea belowβthe bright lights looked like stars in the distant starry sky because of the high altitude.
It's a boat! It's a fast boat! Sergei suddenly understood what the helicopter was going to do, he stood up and looked around, and the other four helicopters that had previously flown in formation were now gone, and then flew into the distance. One of them was spotted speeding away in the other direction.
Sergei knew that it would be too late if he didn't escape, but there were only a few helicopter emergency parachute bags, all of which were placed under the side hatch seats, and he reached out and touched them, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he touched them. But to open the side hatches, Yuri, who was close to the switch, had to get up.
"Yuri, do you want to live?" Sergei immediately asked in a low voice, "If you want to live, get up quickly and pretend to stretch your waist." β
"What?" Yuri still looks silly.
"Just do it!" Sergei said urgently.
Yuri immediately got up and pretended to stretch his waist, at this time Sergei grabbed the umbrella bag underneath, but after hesitating for a second, he decided to take two more, Yuri must live, and be a witness to what happened today.
Grabbing the umbrella bag, Sergei directly opened the side hatch, the hatch suddenly opened, and when the wind poured in from the outside to the inside, the other people on the plane didn't know what was going on, and looked at Sergei standing there holding Yuri in amazement.
Sergei had already put on the umbrella bag, and at the same time helped Yuri to put it on for him, and then pointed to the seat and said: "There are still 4 umbrella bags, sorry for the ......"
As he spoke, Sergey stuffed the drawstring of the umbrella bag into Yuri's hand and said, "Count five seconds after you go out, no, pull it open in three seconds!" With that, Sergei pushed Yuri straight out of the helicopter, paused for a moment and jumped off.
While the two of them jumped, they also clearly saw the two pilots who jumped out of the bottom of the cockpit in front of them about ten seconds earlier, and the pilots were wearing shoulder identification lights, so they were clearly visible in the night sky.
Yuri did not jump the parachute, let alone parachute in such a sudden situation, and has not opened the parachute until now.
Sergei cursed in his heart, rushed directly towards Yuri in the air, grabbed him, clamped Yuri's body with his legs, and then opened his parachute.
"Whew-" The parachute opened in the air, and the two of them instantly felt a large hand slamming it upward, and then slowed down and slowly fell into the Aral Sea below, but the speed was much faster than the pilot who also parachuted down, for the simple reason that Sergey's parachute carried the weight of two people.
