Finally, the two reached their small boat. Lu Yuan secured the boat to the hull, then gripped the chains and slowly climbed upwards. "Hurry up and get on!"
Lu Yuan called out to Shi Quan, who quickly took the rope and climbed up with him. Without further ado, he checked around the plane.
"Brother Lu, the plane is fine, it's just that there are several places on the fuel line that are frozen!"
"That's a minor matter. Let's find a way to melt the ice first and see if we can take off as soon as possible. We don't have much time left!"
Shi Quan nodded, then took out an alcohol stove from his backpack and began to heat the frozen area.
In a short while, water began to slowly drip from the oil pipe. The ice had all melted, and the oil in the pipe began to slowly slide to other places.
"The ice has melted, we can go now!" Shi Quan's voice was filled with excitement.
He quickly opened the cabin door and jumped into the cockpit.
The propellers of the plane began to spin slowly, and after more than ten minutes of warm-up, the plane was ready to take off.
Shi Quan glanced at Lu Yuan, then nodded slightly. After fastening his seatbelt, the plane slowly climbed upwards in the pitch-black night.
The plane quickly rose to an altitude of 300 meters and then began flying towards their location.
Finally, the plane landed in front of everyone, and a look of joy appeared on everyone's face.
"Hurry up, get on the plane!" Lu Yuan shouted loudly as he poked his head out of the cabin door.
Because the sound of the airplane propellers was so loud, he had to shout to make his voice carry.
Soon, all the family members and others boarded the plane, and the more than twenty seats on the plane were already full. Shi Quan only waved his hand lightly when he saw that the instrument showed that the plane was overweight.
"They're too heavy to be loaded anymore. Wait for the next batch!"
Lu Yuan nodded, then waved to the others, and the plane immediately headed towards their destination.
As the plane took off, it immediately attracted the attention of the refugees below.
"They have an airplane! They have an airplane!"
Someone was shouting at the top of their lungs, pointing at the Apache helicopter flying in the sky.
Everyone was running and shouting after the plane, but at this moment, there was no emotion in Shi Quan's eyes; he only wanted to complete his mission as quickly as possible.
Liu Mingming and his group were in the second batch, sitting in the middle of the same place waiting, just like Sun Zhe. They were in a state of confusion.
"What if this plane isn't coming back? Did they just leave them here?"
Now, someone next to me spoke up in a low voice.
This person's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Although they didn't say it, they all thought the same thing: if Lu Yuan and the others flew away and never came back, then they would be truly abandoned here.
Sun Zhe wore a solemn expression, while Liu Tiantian watched the plane fly away, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
"Why don't we run in that direction with the refugees?"
"Nonsense! Have you forgotten how we were abandoned in the East District last time?!"
Sun Zhe's voice was low and laced with anger.
"Last time, you insisted on leaving without permission. Now look, we've been abandoned here. Do you want to miss another chance?"
Liu Tiantian stopped talking. She knew that she had misjudged the situation last time and missed an opportunity by not going with Lu Yuan and the others. Now that Lu Yuan had saved them, but they had left ahead of time, she was afraid that she would lose this opportunity again. So she had the idea of escaping with the refugees again.
Sun Zhe grabbed her shoulders in exasperation: "Don't think so much. Just wait here obediently. There are so many refugees. If we follow them, we'll die on the road sooner or later!"
Liu Tiantian finally nodded, her eyes no longer showing the look of not knowing what to do.
With a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his mouth, Ma Bian tried to light it several times with a lighter but failed. Frustrated, he threw the lighter away.
Seeing Ma Bin's expression, Liu Mingming, who was standing to the side, suddenly walked over and took out her lighter.
"Brother Ma, I have a lighter!"
Ma Ping nodded, took the lighter, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag. The tightness in his chest seemed to dissipate a lot. He turned his head to look at Liu Mingming, who wasn't very tall.
Do you think Lu Yuan will come back?
Ma Bin didn't actually have any ideas of his own. He believed that in this apocalyptic situation, Lu Yuan would definitely not come back, since they had no value whatsoever.
However, Liu Mingming nodded firmly: "Brother Lu will definitely come back. He won't leave them here. Don't worry!"
"Hehe, what's wrong with you? How can you be so sure they won't abandon us?"
“Because he’s not that kind of person. If he really wanted to abandon them here, he wouldn’t have grabbed you, or taken me and my sister with him! I believe him!”
Ma Bin hesitated. He pondered for a long time, wanting to go with the refugees, but after hearing Liu Mingming's words, he immediately put away the idea.
Do you smoke?
Liu Mingming hesitated for a moment, then shook her head in the end.
The remaining dozen or so people waited in place, neither speaking nor fleeing. They simply looked at the sky, hoping the flashing light would return.
