Big Camphor Tree Base.
Zhu Xiao and the others were ready, carrying weapons and boarding the helicopter.
Today, they were heading to Oil City for support.
Zhu Xiao’s group had only about ten people. Besides them, the cabin contained a ton of food supplies.
The last time Dapao went to Oil City, he also brought some food along. Mainly, the intense solar radiation recently made land transportation very difficult.
A batch of oil was transported back before the storm ended. Later, Ju Tianrui brought some food there, but there hasn’t been any replenishment in the following months.
So they seized every opportunity to go to Oil City, and each time, they would bring some food over to supplement the people in Oil City.
Apart from food, there were also two barrels of fuel.
Once the helicopter was fully fueled, it could fly about nine hundred kilometers. It couldn’t reach Oil City, but it wasn’t too far short.
When going to Oil City, they wouldn’t need to bring back fuel because Oil City could provide them with more.
So, the extra space was used to load more food.
The pilots on this trip were He Ma and Hua Chen who had previously flown with Lao Yi.
Second Uncle reminded them repeatedly to be careful on the road.
“He Ma, you’ve been to Oil City, right?”
He Ma quickly nodded and said, “Yes, I have. Moreover, we can locate them directly using the electronic beacon.”
“That’s good. By the way, you usually refuel midway at the Transfer Station we set up in Xiu County. You know where that is, right?” Second Uncle continued to ask.
“I know, Internal Affairs Director. Don’t worry, I went there before with Captain Yi,” He Ma explained.
Only then did Second Uncle feel reassured, and he said to the two of them, “Alright, you can go now. Maintain communication at all times.”
“Okay.” He Ma nodded.
Then he boarded the helicopter, as usual checking the stability of the fuel barrels, and then piloted the helicopter to slowly take off.
Buzzing—
He Ma and the others flew the helicopter to a certain altitude, then immediately followed the electronic beacon’s location, heading north.
Just as they had flown a short distance, Hua Chen, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, suddenly noticed that there was a small road only two kilometers away from the highway.
Two vehicles were driving on the small road.
“He Ma, slow down. Who are those people?” Hua Chen asked.
He Ma slowed the helicopter and flew towards the small road.
On the ground.
It was Dadao and his group who had just arrived about five or six kilometers south of the Big Camphor Tree.
In the car.
Wen Sheng suddenly heard a buzzing sound from the sky.
Then he put on a mask and stuck his head out to look up.
“Damn, a helicopter, we’ve been spotted!” Wen Sheng shouted.
They had just arrived here, not even having gotten out of the car yet.
Their worst plan was to park near the Big Camphor Tree Base, then walk to a spot where they could observe the base.
If they were discovered, they intended to hide in the woods.
After all, with dense forest and large trees, the helicopter’s size and the shade of the trees provided ample cover for them.
But they hadn’t found a place to park yet!
They hadn’t even seen the Big Camphor Tree Base!
And now they’re being targeted?!
Dadao quickly opened the window and looked at the sky.
Sure enough, a helicopter, originally flying at several hundred meters altitude, descended to two hundred meters and was still coming down.
Damn!
Dadao hurriedly picked up a gun and fired several shots at the helicopter!
In the helicopter, Hua Chen saw the men below holding guns at them.
He quickly shouted to He Ma, “Go, go, go! They have guns! Damn, there are people looking for trouble near our base! Quickly contact the base.”
Zhu Xiao hurriedly grabbed the walkie-talkie to contact the Big Camphor Tree Base.
They had a military radio set, but they were close enough to communicate with the Big Camphor Tree Base using the walkie-talkie.
“Calling Big Camphor Tree Base, this is Zhu Xiao. We spotted two unidentified vehicles two kilometers east of the 319 National Highway, and they fired at us. Requesting support!”
Zhu Xiao said it three times in succession.
Inside the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Second Uncle, Li Yu, and Third Uncle received this message and promptly communicated via walkie-talkie.
“What should we do?” Second Uncle asked.
“Take those bastards out! They’ve come to our doorstep.” Li Yu replied.
“Third Uncle, you take the helicopter out for support. I’ll take people out by car.”
“Alright.”
Efficient dialogue, and a plan was made in a few words.
Meanwhile.
He Ma tested the helicopter’s weaponry.
It was temporarily equipped with bombs and machine guns.
After all, this helicopter was just recently brought back from Guangdong Province and hadn’t been outfitted with heavier weaponry yet.
Boom, boom, boom!
He Ma fired at the two vehicles on the ground.
The two vehicles were on dirt roads, surrounded by forested hills. Had it not been for the vehicles turning into a sparsely wooded area, they might not have been spotted.
Explosions erupted around the two vehicles.
“Drive into a denser area!” Dadao’s eyes were wide with rage. He had accounted for everything except being immediately discovered upon arrival.
In the helicopter.
He Ma saw the two vehicles disappear into the woods, so he quickly pulled the helicopter higher.
If anyone below fired a hidden shot, it could be trouble.
Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt—
“He Ma, keep tight on them, don’t let them escape.” Li Yu’s voice came through the walkie-talkie.
