Chapter 9: Escape

Two days later, David, who was carrying a small backpack containing dried meat and fruits, a small water cup, a bottle of multi-functional super-concentrated spray and other items, a small green digital helmet for marmosets, and a satchel containing food and a small water cup, were respectively shackled, and then carried by five junior officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force into a solar-powered electric helicopter.

Then, the helicopter slowly took off and flew to the east.

Lulu, with short black curly hair, stood by the window on the second floor of a villa, looked at the helicopter in the distance, and drew a cross on her chest with her right hand.

More than two hours after the helicopter had flown off, David put his hand into the backpack he was holding on his chest, and a soldier next to him quickly raised his gun and pointed it at David.

The rifle was slightly smaller, like a child's toy gun, and was suitable for a soldier of this age.

David laughed and said, "Man, why are you so nervous? I'm just getting something to eat. ”

The soldier smiled shyly and lowered his gun.

After breaking a small piece of jerky into two parts and eating the jerky with Muma, seeing that some of the officers and soldiers began to continue to nap, and some looked at the scenery outside the window, David gave Muma a look.

Then, quietly reaching into his unzipped jacket, he pulled out two marmosets from his waist and aimed them at the soldier next to him and the pilot's head.

At the same time, Muma took out two walnut-sized grenades from his mouth, and then grinned, biting two silver grenade safety pins between the three white lower front teeth on the left and right.

Although these weapons are small, they are still so powerful because they are specially designed and use advanced super-concentrated explosives that it is perfectly possible to kill a human or a person in a helicopter.

The five officers and men and the two pilots immediately turned pale with fright.

They were all excellent soldiers, but now they all think that they are the future kings, how can they not be afraid of death?

There is no satellite network in the low earth orbit of Proxima Centauri B that can receive the soul backup signal sent by the safety hoop in real time and around the clock, this is far away from the base, in case one or two of the signal relay instruments that were previously airdropped on the ground or on the top of the mountain along the way fail again, and they are not sure that they will be killed and thrown into the wilderness, they will be confessed here forever, and who knows if Joseph will be merciful and send someone out to search, or let the earth send their own DNA and soul data again?

If a few people "share the spoils", some people in the base will be very happy, even if their soul data is preserved after their death, will those people be...

David, knowing exactly what was really going on in the hearts of these soldiers, ordered: "Open our shackles and hand over your personal communicators." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, one of the soldiers took out the key to open the shackles of David and Muma.

The others obediently dismantled the communication equipment on their bodies and threw them on the ground of the cabin.

David said at this time: "You five, and the co-pilot, bring your own weapons and parachute!" It's a pity for you to be allowed to bring your weapons, and don't play tricks on us when you leave the plane, or I'll force the pilot to blast you with the machine guns on board. ”

As if they had been granted amnesty, the five officers and men and their co-pilots quickly put on their parachutes and other equipment, opened the hatch and jumped out of the helicopter one after another.

Waiting for Muma to close the cabin, pick up David and sit in the co-pilot seat, David commanded the pilot: "Fly in the north-southeast direction." ”

I drive as I do.

David learned from Joseph that more than 4,000 kilometers directly east of the base was the East China Sea, and if the helicopter flew north-southeast out of the Hokingcaster landform, it was very likely that the flight route would meet with a river flowing eastward.

The helicopter continued to fly for half an hour, and before it left the Hodkingkarst landform area, David, who was sitting on Muma's shoulder, saw a river flowing eastward on the ground in the distance, so he said to the pilot: "Do you see the white river beach by the river in the distance ahead?" Landing there. ”

Soon, the helicopter slowly landed on a river beach covered with fine white gravel.

David then climbed back into the back of the cabin, picked up his backpack, and ordered the pilot to remove one of the electric rubber boats from the plane, press the electric inflation button to inflate it, and push it to the water's edge with Muma.

Then, David asked Mulma to pull open the grenade safety pin again, looked at the pilot, climbed into the cockpit himself, stepped on a few mechanical control buttons, climbed to an LCD screen, changed the helicopter's start code, and then turned off the plane's power.

The helicopter doesn't start, and the communication equipment can't be powered on.

Muma put the two grenades back in his satchel with the safety closed, picked up David standing in the hatch, and returned to the water's edge to climb into the rubber boat.

Still holding his pistol, David said to the pilot standing next to the boat, "Push the dinghy into the water, and then you can slowly crack the code yourself, or wait for rescue." ”

The pilot had no choice but to push the dinghy into the water with all his strength, and watched as the dinghy drifted downstream with the current.

The power start of the rubber boat is push-button, and David can start it himself, but the lever on the engine is obviously too big for him, and can only be controlled by Muma.

David quickly taught Mulma how to steer, as well as speed up and decelerate.

With the power, the dinghy can rush downstream faster.

It is a river about 50 meters wide, and it goes downstream, and its banks are sometimes canyons and sometimes mountains, and it is not much different from some of the scenery on earth.

There are all kinds of plants on the mountain, but for some reason, the tallest of these plants is only a dozen meters, and most of them are about one meter to five meters high.

At the same time, most of these plants are ferns, and only a few species such as beech and ginkgo biloba are available.

From time to time, there will be some animals on the shore, mostly similar to the animals of the middle and later Cretaceous periods of the earth, which are smaller or even hundreds or thousands, most of them are reptiles, but there are also a few mammals that seem to be primitive, and large and small birds with strange color feathers.

David had seen most of the photos, videos, specimens, and corpses of these animals and plants from Joseph, so he didn't think they were very new.

It seems that although there are too many uncertainties in the universe, the laws of biological evolution are still similar.

According to Muma's previous description, David knew that Muma's hometown was deep in an underground cave in a small mountainous area along the coast of the East China Sea.

Therefore, if you follow the river, you will definitely reach the East China Sea. And this rubber boat has its own solar charging function, and the design is also very ingenious, and the leather of the entire hull is solar panels, so it can have unlimited battery life.

"Puff !!"

Suddenly, David heard the characteristic sound of an electric helicopter propeller cutting through the air. As he was about to look back, a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and neat splashes erupted on the water near the dinghy.

"Joseph, a cunning fellow, actually sent another helicopter to follow him." As David spoke, he turned around and saw that sure enough, it was a helicopter closely following the rubber boat in the air about 150 meters away.

The muzzle of the machine gun at the nose flashed with fire, and the gunfire came again almost at the same time, and new splashes continued to splash behind the rubber boat.

So David immediately pulled out his pistol and fired back.

The pilot of the helicopter saw David shoot and quickly pulled up the nose of the plane, and the pilot knew that although the pistol was small, the range was not small, and the bullet would explode.

The future king cannot be easily hit by a bullet.

The helicopter flew to the rear air more than 300 meters away from the rubber boat, and once again aimed the muzzle of the nose at the rubber boat. A little to the left! ”

Muma immediately slammed the engine lever to the left, and with the drive of the lever, the propeller struck to the left, and the dinghy also maneuvered to the left.

The position of the rubber boat half a second before was immediately covered with a splash.

Next, under David's command, the rubber boat flickered left and right. Combined with David's occasional return fire, the helicopter was unable to aim precisely because it had to dodge, and the rubber boat dodged machine gun fire again and again.

Humanity's innate fear of firearms made the helicopter pilot seem to forget that David's little pistol couldn't hit that far.

But at this time, the muzzles of two rifles protruded from the side windows of the helicopter.

It turned out that the soldiers on the plane saw that the on-board machine gun could not hit David and them, and it seemed that they could not bear it anymore and opened the window to join the battle.

However, David has reason to suspect that it was Joseph, who was in real-time remote command in the base, ordered the soldiers to open the windows and shoot.

Soon, the rubber boat was hit with a rifle bullet and began to leak air.

David hurriedly fired back, pressing the electric inflator button on the side of the engine, and the rubber boat, which was obviously rapidly deflating just now, slowly returned to its original state.

But the helicopter pilot was apparently forced by someone to lower the altitude slightly, although the marksmanship of the onboard machine gun operator was still so stinky, but the shooting rate of the guns in the hands of the soldiers on board increased, although neither of them hit the two monkeys, but the rubber boat was hit by two rifle bullets, and the hull began to deflate rapidly again.

At this time, there was a huge roar of water in front of him, and David was overjoyed and shouted: "Muma, speed up with all your might!" ”

After a while, the barely unsinkable rubber boat flew up, and then fell rapidly, rushing to the surface of the water below a waterfall more than ten meters high.

After falling into the water, the rubber boat has completely deflated, and Tima grabs David and surfaces.

Due to inertia, the helicopter had rushed to more than 200 meters in front of the waterfall, and was drawing an arc in the air with the intention of flying back.

David looked closely and found that there was a cave behind the waterfall, and quickly stretched out his hand to point towards the cave.

Muma comprehended, took the backpack on David's back, and swam towards the waterfall.

Unexpectedly, Muma swam very fast, reaching the bottom of the waterfall in more than ten seconds, and when she jumped ashore, machine gun bullets also chased the water behind her.

Muma is very agile, holding David in one hand, sprinting along a slippery steep slope towards the entrance of the cave, a few meters behind her constantly heard the "pop" explosion of bullets hitting stones, and a small bullet fragment even hit her right shoulder, but she still walked like a fly, and soon flashed into the hole.
