"Wow! Airplane, look quickly, there's a helicopter in the sky…"
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind the two girls; it was Jiao Jiao shouting. She jumped up from the ground as if there were springs under her, excitedly pointing towards the direction of Jiangcheng city and shouting loudly. At that moment, a brilliant firework exploded not far from the helicopter, and even though it was several kilometers away, the women could still feel the intensity of the explosion.
After the explosion, the initially stable black helicopter suddenly began to sway erratically, as if it were drunk, moving up and down, left and right. A huge cloud of thick white smoke rolled out from the cabin, immediately giving the impression that it was about to crash.
"Haha~ it's going to fall, it's going to fall! Such poor skills and they dare to fly a plane, I hope you rich folks crash and die…" Jiao Jiao clapped her hands and laughed maliciously, but Bai Ru immediately thought of a possibility. Her pretty face turned pale, and she turned around and shouted coldly, "Shut up, that might be Jack and the others up there!"
"..." Jiao Jiao was stunned, quickly covering her mouth. Looking at the helicopter that could crash at any moment, she anxiously prayed, "Fly up, please fly up, you must not let anything happen to my Lin Ye!"
The black helicopter, shrouded in thick white smoke, flew closer to the elevated road, almost reaching it. The girls couldn't see who was piloting the helicopter at all; the entire cabin looked as if someone had lit a thousand cigarettes and took a deep breath. The helicopter pilot also seemed unable to see the situation below, circling the elevated road several times without finding a suitable landing spot.
It wasn't until all four doors of the cabin were opened that the thick white smoke finally began to dissipate. The pilot of the helicopter seemed unable to endure the smoke any longer and hastily found a place that wasn't very suitable. With a "whoosh," it landed, crashing onto the elevated bridge with a loud "clang," almost making the girls think they were preparing to commit suicide.
As soon as the helicopter landed, the first thing that caught their eyes was three men with bloodshot eyes stumbling out of the cabin, then collapsing onto the ground. Each of them stretched their necks like turtles and began to cough violently. The heart-wrenching dry coughs made people worry that they might cough out their lungs; it was simply terrifying.
"Husband!"
Bai Ru saw the man jumping down from the pilot's seat and immediately exclaimed in surprise, but Jack, looking exceptionally disheveled, bent over and waved his hand at Bai Ru, tears and snot streaming down his face, almost coughing out his lungs like the other men.
"What happened to you guys? Why is there so much smoke?" Bai Ru ran over, concerned, and patted Jack on the back. When Jack straightened up, his eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and he said with a gloomy expression, "Don't mention it. Old Hu fired a rocket on the plane, and we almost ended up dead!"
"Old Hu, you are simply a complete fool…" Thomas Xu finally regained his composure and shouted angrily at Old Hu with red eyes, "Do you have any common sense? Can you fire a 40mm round on a plane? Luckily, Lao Gao is tough; if he had been standing behind you, you would have roasted him with the backblast!"
"Cough, cough… How was I supposed to know? I've never fired a rocket before; who knew the smoke would be bigger than a damn barbecue stall!" Old Hu stood up with tears in his eyes, constantly wiping away the tears rolling down his face, looking as aggrieved as a little girl.
"Forget it, if Old Hu hadn't fired that rocket, it would have definitely been us who got killed. That hunter is too damn fierce; he even dares to chase planes!" Gao Chuanjiang also got up from the ground and said something fair. After several narrow escapes, his mindset had become much more open. Seeing his daughter Gao Yuanyuan looking at him with a happy face, Gao Chuanjiang felt a surge of excitement, rushed over, and gave her a bear hug, affectionately kissing her little face.
"Lin Ye, didn't they say there were survivors?" Cao Mei, holding a handkerchief, tiptoed to wipe the sweat off Jack's face, her concerned gaze even more emotional than Bai Ru's.
"Sigh, yes, but…" Jack shrugged his shoulders and shook his head helplessly. When they first entered the hotel, there were ten survivors, but now, due to various conflicts and love-hate relationships, not a single one was left. They went with four people and returned with four people. At this moment, Jack recalled the passionate night with Ding Jie, as if it were just a dream, as if nothing had ever happened!
Some people are destined to live only in the memories of others. Perhaps they were once glorious and beautiful, but ultimately, they cannot escape the cycle of life and death in this world, the law of cause and effect. In fact, both glory and mediocrity last a lifetime, and both are equally fleeting. No one can take anything with them when they leave this world. If they suddenly realize this, most people would probably choose to leave behind a beautiful memory for others rather than a bloody tragedy!
...
"Honey, are we still going back to the parking lot later?"
In the back seat of the helicopter, Bai Ru took a Thomas tissue from her pocket and wiped the sweat off Jack's face. After a night together, although they hadn't yet crossed the line in their relationship, her behavior was that of a girl who had already fallen in love. Her eyes were filled with uncontainable affection for Jack, and if Jack accidentally met her gaze, Bai Ru would shyly lower her head.
"No need to rush!" Jack leaned against the door, looking at the somewhat shy Bai Ru, smiled, and wrapped his arm around her slender waist, saying, "Just now, we saw a large open area to the north from the hotel rooftop, with very few zombies. Lao Gao said it's a private club; we can rest there tonight. They are all exhausted!"
"Club?" Bai Ru was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at a high Marcus-colored hillside several kilometers away, where there were several distinctive buildings, half obscured by the wind and sand, making it appear particularly desolate and bleak. After glancing at it, Bai Ru leaned against Jack's embrace without expressing her opinion, but on the side that Jack couldn't see, she subtly furrowed her brow.
...
"Hi~ Do you want to see the membership card? Haha! I have a Thomas universe-level titanium alloy VIP card here…"
A heavily overloaded Dongfeng Warrior drove straight towards a golf club named "Supreme Yongsheng," the very one they had seen advertised yesterday with Bai Ru as the spokesperson. It seemed that these men had begun to develop an extreme faith in the durability of the Warrior; after a rollover incident where the vehicle flipped several times without falling apart, it left a profound impression on them. Thus, they abandoned the plane, and the first thing they did after getting off the bridge was to dig out a nearly new Warrior from a pile of cars, cramming everyone inside.
The black iron gate in front of the clubhouse was tightly closed. As the car approached, two security zombies, still dressed in their uniforms, rushed out of the security room. Thomas Xu, who was sitting on the roof of the car alongside Boss Hu, laughed heartily. He drew a fully loaded 92-style handgun from his waist and "bang-bang" shot the heads of the two zombie security guards. This must be what he referred to as a universe-level VIP card!
