16 years

Chapter 177 At least at this moment, Fu Yan is really happy.

On Wrangel Island in mid-March, the climate was still as cold as deep winter.

It was a sunny day when they landed, and the outdoor temperature was minus 38, but because the ice on the ice sheet was very windy, the temperature felt to be around minus 45.

Probably because there was a premise of cooperation, so Feng Lei led the C Department military region this time. They split into two groups with Fu Yanbing, and led the C Department military region's large troops to land from the land and choose a station.And Fu Yan and the others will take the empty road, conduct a simple peripheral cruise, and then meet with them to carry out the next step of investigation.

Feng Lei had already landed on Wrangel Island with his people three days ago, and settled down [-] kilometers away from the coast.

Fu Yan and the others were supposed to follow closely behind, but there were several heavy snowfalls on Wrangel Island two days ago, which blocked the view of the sky, so it was delayed until now.

At noon, He Tang calculated the wind speed and the direction of direct sunlight, and returned to the temporary camp to make final preparations.

The helicopter was safely parked on the temporary landing pad outside, covered by a blackout cloth, hidden in the shadow of a mountain depression.

Today is different from the past. No. [-] and the C Department military region jointly only sent two helicopters. Shao Qiu and He Feng each went to check the final instrument and fuel conditions. Fu Yan debugged the equipment at the contact point not far away, and Feng Lei Do a final check to confirm.

Liu Ruosong didn't know anything about high-precision instruments, but he couldn't sit still, so he stayed on the ground and helped He Tang with some miscellaneous preparations.

He Tang was not polite to him, and handed him a speed test book.

"Test every 5 minutes." He Tang said, "Just write it in this little book, and we'll leave in an hour."

Liu Ruosong nodded, leaned against the logistics supply box next to him, and pressed the built-in alarm clock on the speedometer.

He chatted casually with He Tang while comparing the data sent back by the speed measuring equipment.

"I thought you guys could only fly fighter jets." Liu Ruosong said, "Helicopters can do it too?"

"Oh, helicopters are much easier to drive than fighter planes." He Tang waved his hands grinningly, and said, "It's like driving a bumper car after you're used to driving off-road vehicles. You just need hands? Let me tell you, brother Xiaoliu, It's not difficult at all, if I give you assault training for a week, you can drive—”

Before she finished speaking, He Feng had already stepped on her tail and came back. He reached out and grabbed He Tang's ear, telling her not to speak so shamelessly here.

"Oh, it's cold!" He Tang hurriedly slapped his hands away, and said, "I pulled out my ear!"

"The cold didn't stop your mouth." He Feng said, "Be careful with the wind, your stomach will hurt after a while."

The temporary camp where they settled was at the foot of the mountain. It was a natural cave with a buckle inside. The temperature inside was much higher than outside, so they didn't need to wrap themselves so tightly.

He Feng slightly unzipped the zipper of the windbreaker, and flicked He Tang's brains.

Liu Ruosong smiled and watched them fight for a while, the alarm clock in his hand vibrated, so he lowered his head and wrote two more data in the speedometer.

Half an hour later, Shao Qiu and Fu Yan came back one after another.

After Liu Ruosong finished writing the data in his hand, he said hello.

"Is it cold outside?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"With the sun, the line of sight is fine." Fu Yan said: "There is no ice fog at high altitude."

Liu Ruosong said in his heart that someone asked you this, he sighed, and stepped forward to help Fu Yan pat the icicles on his body.

It was windy outside, and the ground was full of snow particles, which could be thrown all over the body with a single blow, and finally turned into icy cold water.

Shao Qiu originally followed Fu Yan, but when he saw this, he took a step to the side and walked to the depths of the cave in silence. He took out a bottle of water from the supply box, shook it to break up the ice, and drank it like that. up.

He didn't speak to anyone, and after drinking half a bottle of water with ice, he sat in a corner, waiting to go.

Seeing this, Liu Ruosong glanced at Fu Yan with some concern, then handed the notebook to He Tang with his tacit consent, and took him two steps outside.

"Can the deputy team go on missions in this state?" Liu Ruosong said.

Ever since Joe Eden was not caught on the opposite side of the Honglan River, the string in Shao Qiu's heart seemed to be snapped. The idea of ​​"revenging Fang Sining" seemed to be unable to support him anymore, so his state changed. It was very choppy.

The conditions in the last days are not good. Except for the recovery period when Shao Qiu just came back, there is no extra healing potion to help him maintain his condition.

LSD is like a certain drug, once the neurological hallucinogenic damage is applied, it is difficult to get rid of.From time to time, Shao Qiu would still fall into drug backtracking. He thought he was hiding it well, but everyone could see it.

He is either irritable or taciturn, looking like a boat in the waves, who can only be pushed to an unknown place with the current.

No one in the team is not worried about him, He Tang is even afraid that he will get sick from boredom, he goes to chat with him from time to time, show him some tricks, but every time Shao Qiu just mechanically hooks the corners of his mouth, and then touches He Tang's hair.

Liu Ruosong always felt that he was already on the verge of collapse.

Fu Yan glanced back into the cave. Shao Qiu was sitting in the shadow, the water bottle in his hand had already been covered with fog. He was staring at the broken ice floating on the water, wondering what he was thinking.

Perhaps he is also pondering whether this world is real, Fu Yan thought.

He remembered that late at night a few months ago, he and Shao Qiu met outside the laboratory building where the petri dishes were held. He still couldn't answer what Shao Qiu said to him at that time.

"Let him go." Fu Yan said: "He has to find the answer to some things by himself. If he doesn't touch it, he will have no sense of reality."

Liu Ruosong also felt a little uncomfortable, he watched Shao Qiu come over again and again, the first time without Fang Sining and the torment of excessive hallucinogens, Shao Qiu was completely different from now.

At that time, he replaced Fu Yan in the mission, and in just a few months he honed his courage, no worse than Fu Yan.

If Fu Yan is a rock that was shattered, then Shao Qiu is a cypress tree that was sawed off before it was ready, in Liu Ruosong's eyes, it's a pity both inside and out.

Liu Ruosong shook his head and didn't say anything else. He used his cuff to wipe off some traces of icy water on Fu Yanbian's face, then walked back into the cave and took the speedometer book again.

Another 10 minutes later, Feng Lei's safe departure signal arrived as scheduled, so the team quickly cleaned up the traces of military supplies in the cave, and began to make final boarding preparations.

Shao Qiu's mental state was not stable enough, so he was temporarily deprived of the pilot's right to board the same helicopter with Fu Yan and Liu Ruosong.

"Ready." Fu Yan finally adjusted the instrument, then turned his head to the side and said: "Take care of the protection and remember to put on the cold clothes in advance."

Liu Ruosong pulled up his collar, tied the cuffs and ankle straps tightly, then looked back at Shao Qiu, and gave Fu Yanbi an OK gesture.

Fu Yan nodded, opened the fuel valve, and started the final adjustment before takeoff.

The engine speed increased, and the fuselage made a slight roar. Fu Yan turned his head slightly and said something into the communication headset.

Liu Ruosong sat behind him and looked at him, suddenly realized that this was the first time he really saw Fu Yan in working condition.

The helicopter has a dazzling array of sophisticated instruments, and there are dozens of inspection categories. Fu Yan's fingers flicked those small buttons one by one, and they were toggled or turned off in an orderly, calm and calm manner.

He was wearing thick winter clothes and a pair of anti-glare glasses. He had sharp lines and a calm expression on his side face.

Even though He Tang called this big guy a "bumper car", Liu Ruosong still had the illusion of adrenaline rush.

There was a sudden jump in his heart, and he suddenly felt an untimely heartbeat.

"Sit still." Fu Yan said.

Liu Ruosong quickly realized that this sentence was spoken to himself—after all, no matter how bad Shao Qiu was, he was also used to manned centrifuges, so he would not feel afraid on the "bumper car".

Tens of seconds later, the rotors of the helicopter started, and Fu Yan suddenly manipulated the lever, and the fuselage rose from the ground and swayed in the strong wind, and quickly regained its balance.

A large cloud of snow and dust was raised outside the window, and the fuselage broke through the ice fog outside, and quickly gained altitude.

The dazzling sunlight from outside fell in, and it was as close as if it was within reach.

There was a sizzling sound from the communication headset, and it quickly changed from Fu Yan's one-way command channel to a public channel within the team.

He Tang's voice came from the earphones, chattering, with a sense of joy that couldn't be concealed.

"I haven't touched an airplane in 800 years." He Tang said, "My brother still won't let me do it, he's a tyrant."

"Major Sparrowhawk." He Feng said, "You despise this as a bumper car."

"Then what's the matter?" He Tang said confidently: "No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat, and a bumper car is also a car. I'm a pilot, and you always make me touch the steering wheel on the ground. Be careful, I can't pull the joystick in heaven."

He Tang kept complaining sweetly, Liu Ruosong leaned against the wall of the cabin, and couldn't help but look at Fu Yan.

He didn't dare to disturb the other party, so he just greedily looked at his profile, watching him communicate with Feng Lei; obey the ground arrangement; give command orders.

He should be like this, Liu Ruosong suddenly thought, this is the life Fu Yan should have.

Free, open, and struggling for ideals and life.

Instead of being wronged and spending my life in those trivial and unreasonable conspiracies like every time before.

"What are you looking at me for?" Fu Yan asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Liu Ruosong peeked at the captured bag, his eyes wandered for a moment, and he couldn't help scratching his face: "You didn't look back."

"I feel it." It seems that in the vast world, people's mood will become better, Fu Yan always speaks with a smile: "Your eyes almost burned me through."

"I think you're handsome." Liu Ruosong said, "Take this opportunity to take a second look, after all, fighter planes don't carry passengers."

Fu Yan couldn't help but smile.

Liu Ruosong didn't know whether he also longed to return to the sky in the past years, he only knew that at least at this moment, Fu Yan was really happy.
