Chapter 1891

Third Uncle heard this and nodded without hesitation, “Okay.”

After speaking, he looked at the time on his watch, two-thirty in the afternoon.

Calculating the time, it would take about two hours to fly the helicopter back to the base from here, and another two hours to return.

There’s no problem with that.

In fact, they could also fly at night.

They now had electronic beacons, unlike before when they had to search manually.

Without electronic beacons, they had to rely on their eyes to find their way, like when they came.

With electronic beacons, the helicopter was like a vehicle equipped with a navigation system, so it wouldn’t get lost even at night.

After all, with the electronic beacon, you just had to fly according to that point.

“Let’s test these helicopters first. We definitely can’t leave today, and zombies will definitely come at night. It’s not very safe for the helicopters to stay parked below,” Third Uncle said.

“Mm-hmm, let’s go down then,” Li Yu replied.

They went downstairs.

Old Qin got on the helicopter in the best condition, then piloted it out of the building.

He checked all the functions again, then slowly maneuvered the helicopter to take off.

Whirr——

A few seconds later, the rotor blades started spinning, and then it took off.

Old Qin’s face lit up with joy, and he then piloted the helicopter in the air.

Since there wasn’t much fuel added, Old Qin didn’t dare to fly too far, only flying for a few minutes before guiding the helicopter back toward the rooftop.

On the rooftop, Ant waved both hands at Old Qin.

Then, using gestures, he pointed to a place, indicating that he should land the helicopter there.

A few minutes later.

Old Qin steadily landed the helicopter in the spot Ant had pointed to.

“How was it? How was it?” Luo excitedly walked over and asked Old Qin.

Old Qin smiled and said, “It’s in good condition, but… the fuel tank is too low, so I didn’t dare fly too high or too far.”

Third Uncle clapped and said, “That should be fine.”

Half an hour later, they tested two more helicopters that seemed to be in good condition, parking them on the rooftop.

Now, only the last helicopter with rotor issues remained.

Seeing that the three helicopters were fine, Luo and his group immediately began dismantling the damaged helicopters on the roof, starting with the rotors.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot grabbed everyone’s attention.

It was Li Gang.

Li Gang pointed towards the north and said to everyone, “I just saw a zombie approaching.”

While Li Yu and Third Uncle were testing the helicopters, Li Gang had been on the rooftop with other non-repair staff on alert.

To prevent zombies from the woods from getting into the building.

After hearing Li Gang’s explanation, everyone nodded and continued their tasks.

At this time, Third Uncle and the Jackals unloaded the repair equipment and fuel drums from the two helicopters they had arrived in.

They planned to fly the helicopters back and bring back fuel from the base.

Otherwise, the discovered helicopters wouldn’t make it back.

Calculating fuel needs for the round trip, they needed at least two flights.

And returning with the helicopter empty.

Twenty minutes later, Li Yu and Third Uncle had finished unloading the contents of both helicopters.

Looking at the empty cabin, Third Uncle said to Li Yu, “When we come back, the cabin will be filled with fuel drums.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded, “Mm-hmm, be careful on your way back.”

Third Uncle didn’t say a word, just patted Li Yu on the shoulder.

Stepping off the helicopter, they saw that most of the shrubbery had been consumed by fire, and the forest was ablaze.

They found themselves amidst a sea of flames, less than a hundred meters from the fire.

No wonder it felt a lot hotter than before.

Suddenly, Third Uncle spoke, “Xiao Yu, be careful later. I worry that such a big fire might draw the zombies over.”

Li Yu thought for a moment and nodded, “I understand.”

Third Uncle turned to see Old Qin and the Jackals had already refueled the helicopters.

So he said to Li Yu, “Okay, we’re heading back now.”

After speaking, he and Old Qin got onto one of the helicopters.

Ant and the Jackals boarded the other helicopter.

On this trip back, they weren’t carrying anything, flying empty.

Just to bring more fuel back after returning.

Watching the helicopters rise higher, Li Yu let out a long sigh of relief.

This trip was actually quite smooth.

Originally, he was content to find one or two helicopters, but unexpectedly, they found four.

This obviously exceeded Li Yu’s expectations.

If they could bring all four helicopters back to the base, their aerial power would more than double!

Feeling delighted, he called over to Luo, who was still dismantling rotor blades:

“Luo, once you get the rotors fixed, have someone try out the helicopter on the ground, and before we leave, take everything usable and removable from the helicopters on the roof and the two wrecked ones below!”

When they returned, it wouldn’t just be two helicopters anymore.

But six!

The carrying capacity would double!

Hearing Li Yu, Luo waved and said, “No problem!”

Li Yu got into one of the intact helicopters, sitting inside the cabin and opening his visor.

His face was covered in sweat, the weather was too hot.

He took out a bottle of water from his backpack.

Unscrewed the cap, and drank a couple of mouthfuls with a “Gudong Gudong.”

“Huff huff——”

Li Yu let out a long sigh of relief, feeling both physically and mentally refreshed.
