To operate a helicopter, coordination of all four limbs, from hands to feet, is extremely important.
Yue Zhongqi's assumption that the coffee wouldn't spill was, by a twist of fate, verified by Wang Baodao.
He was serious, and Nie Tai's skills were indeed amazing. From takeoff to takeoff, he gained altitude three times in a row. Before anyone knew it, the helicopter had reached the highest alert flight position at low altitude, but not a drop of his coffee was spilled.
As the helicopter leveled off, he handed over a cup of coffee: "Mrs. Nie, have some to quench your thirst."
Chen Rou usually only drinks water, occasionally stimulating her taste buds with cola, but she doesn't like coffee. However, she took a sip, put it back in the beverage dispenser, and said, "Thank you, Comrade Xiao Wang."
Wang Baodao didn't know what he had done to deserve Nie Taiqing's favor and the invitation to accompany her on her inspection tour.
But "Comrade Xiao Wang" is such a friendly title.
He snapped open the bag of potato chips and held it up, saying, "Mrs. Nie, have some potato chips."
The reason Chen Rou specifically brought him up was because his father was currently the top official in the South China Sea, which was quite powerful. Logically, he should know Guo Fuzheng's family. Also, she had asked him and found out that he was in charge of the lines in the army and had an advantage in reconnaissance and terrain. But this guy must be crazy. Why would he give her potato chips for no reason?
Although he was her senior, she had never met him before, so his most likely fate was to die young. As a junior, she felt it necessary to give him some advice: "Comrade Xiao Wang, eat on time and eat your fill. When you are on a mission, it is best not to eat snacks, because they can easily distract you."
Wang Baodao wondered to himself where they usually got their snacks.
Although they receive a stipend, it is sent directly home to their families every three months. Chen Ke currently controls their funds. While they are well-fed, especially with plenty of white rice, items like coffee, potato chips, steak, and salads require Nie Yao to use his name to procure some for them.
As for things like potato chips, they are not yet available in China, and although they crave them, they rarely have the opportunity to eat them.
However, since Nie Tai suggested it, he naturally put it back in the plastic bag: "Okay, we won't eat it."
But Chen Rou added, "It's not safe to leave it on the plane. We should arrive at our destination in about 5 minutes, so let's hurry up and finish it."
As she spoke, she took two more big gulps of coffee: "Thank you for bringing me coffee, it tastes really good."
This coffee was discovered by Nie Yao through tasting coffee at various shops; it's the best one on Lvsun Island.
Although Wang Baodao didn't contribute anything, he was still very happy to receive praise from Nie Tai.
He picked up some potato chips and, while eating, told Chen Rou about the towns and villages on the island, as well as the locations of the pirates they had identified, the police station, government offices, and government agencies.
It's 5:00 PM now, and the sunset is in full swing. Since dusk hasn't fallen yet, the visibility is quite good. Also, because the sun is setting, the sunlight isn't too glaring. Looking down from this vantage point, you can see the roads, houses, government buildings, and scattered individual houses or villages along the coast. On land, it would take several hours to walk around all the islands, but from the plane, you can see them all in just ten minutes.
Moreover, this is a reconnaissance helicopter with an extra-large sunroof and a particularly low cockpit, which helps the pilot to get a low-altitude view.
After circling around, Chen Rou turned the plane towards the volcano: "Where is the park located?"
The park is located at a relatively high altitude, halfway up the volcano. Moreover, because American reconnaissance aircraft frequently fly around this area, it wouldn't be unusual for Chen Rou to fly over to investigate.
But Wang Baodao still said, "Mrs. Nie, why don't we go back first?"
Chen Rou dislikes procrastination, and since she's here, she naturally wants to get things done quickly. But why did Wang Baodao refuse to go to the park?
He scratched his head, and she looked ahead again, noticing the problem: "You think that cloud over the crater will generate torrential rain in the near future, right?"
There is a gray cloud over the crater high up, and unless it is a weather forecast, it is difficult for the average person to judge accurately. In particular, the wind direction at high altitude is quite complex at present, and it is not clear from the instruments.
Once that cloud encounters a downwind, it will quickly turn into a downpour within two or three minutes. The rain may only last for two or three minutes, but the combination of strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning is very unfavorable for helicopters.
The weather on this island is unpredictable, alternating between wind, rain, and clear skies.
As they spoke, the cloud slid down even further, and a strong westerly wind was blowing, as seen on the dashboard. Wang Baodao realized something was wrong and immediately grabbed Chen Rou's hand: "Mrs. Nie, this is troublesome, turn around quickly."
Although helicopters fly very fast, in truly extreme weather, turbulence can be faster than an Airbus, let alone a helicopter. And if they are not operated properly, the plane will crash and they will both be killed.
As they spoke, wisps of thin, smoky mist rose up in front of them. Extreme weather could strike at any moment, and rain-laden clouds were already in front of them. If Wang Baodao was as happy as he was when Chen Rou lifted him into the air, he was now just as terrified. After all, the clouds were not enemies, nor could they be taken down by guns and bullets.
Besides, it doesn't matter if he dies; he'll be a hero again in eighteen years. But if Nie Taiga stays here, starting tomorrow, everyone else will probably have to go home, which is not what Wang Baodao wants.
He was really anxious. Chen Rou went to press the dashboard button, but he grabbed her hand.
“Let go,” she said.
