Having left the dimensional space and reappeared outside, Zhou Tong picked up the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and gently started the plane's engine. A huge roar began to sound continuously. Lu Yuan picked up his headphones, put them on, and then turned to look at Zhou Tong.
"Without navigation devices or similar equipment, are there any difficulties in flying?"
Zhou Tong chuckled lightly and said nonchalantly, "It's not the apocalypse now. Before, there were no restrictions on flying in the sky, and all sorts of rules. Now there are no rules and no restrictions. We can fly however we want. We just need to keep flying forward in that specific direction. As long as we don't change direction, we won't go to the wrong place!"
After speaking, Zhou Tong briefly checked the contents of the instrument panel, then nodded slightly to Lu Yuan, and then lifted the control stick, and the aircraft began to slowly ascend.
As the altitude increased, the pits and hollows dug out in the ground began to shrink, resembling a huge lump of coal, full of holes.
After flying to a height of about 500 meters, Zhou Tong piloted the plane to fly forward.
Lu Yuan was a little bored sitting in the passenger seat, so he took out his rifle and started cleaning and checking the ammunition. Since they were currently in the air, the lizard monsters they had encountered earlier were still fresh in his memory.
Although there haven't been any lizard monster attacks recently, Lu Yuan still needs to be prepared to avoid encountering them during flight.
Fortunately, the planes were equipped with sensor systems. If anything else approached within about two kilometers of the plane, an alarm would be triggered. The sensor system could determine the direction of the monster, so Zhou Tong couldn't help but smile after seeing Lu Yuan's performance.
"Brother, there's no need to be too nervous. We're in a pretty safe position right now, so just keep flying straight. If you're tired, lie down in the co-pilot's seat and get some rest! We might be flying for a very long time, since this civilian helicopter from China has a rather small power output. It'll probably take about a week to get to our destination!"
Lu Yuan sighed softly, "Alright, I'll rest for a while then. If you get tired, just let me know, and I'll lie down in the co-pilot's seat for a bit. Anyway, I'm someone with piloting experience now, so flying this kind of civilian helicopter won't be a problem!"
Zhou Tong nodded, then took out a cigarette from the side, put it in his mouth, and continued piloting the plane, keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead. He would occasionally glance down at the instrument panel to ensure that the flight path did not deviate.
After flying for a day and a night, the plane ran out of fuel, and Zhou Tong found a relatively open spot to land.
Lu Yuan took out an oil can from his dimensional space to refuel the plane. While refueling, the two squatted down to eat. Dinner was very simple, consisting of some simple meats and rice. The two sat in front of the snowdrift, eating and chatting, which was quite pleasant.
I'm currently experiencing the feeling of traveling along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, except the sky is overcast, with the clouds occasionally parting to reveal a huge moon.
Furthermore, a comparison was made with previously observed moon sizes, revealing that the moon appears to have remained unchanged in size, with no apparent change in distance.
After dinner, the two prepared to continue their journey. Zhou Tong had been flying for a day and a night, so his bloodshot eyes made him look extremely tired.
So Lu Yuan quickly said to Zhou Tong, "Old Zhou, you've been flying for so long, take a good rest. Leave the piloting to me!"
Zhou Tong, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, turned to look at Lu Yuan: "Are you sure you want to pilot the plane yourself?"
"It's settled. You should get some rest. Come find me when you've had enough sleep. We can take turns driving to avoid getting too tired!"
Zhou Tong shrugged and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'm really tired and need to get some rest!"
After saying that, Zhou Tong leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, while Lu Yuan grabbed the co-pilot's control stick, adjusted the plane's position, and continued flying forward.
The helicopter has an autopilot function, but since this is the post-apocalyptic world, Lu Yuan doesn't dare to let the computer control the entire flight. He prefers to keep the steering wheel in his own hands.
The further they walked, the darker it seemed to get. Lu Yuan frowned, craned his neck to look ahead, and saw that the clouds in the distance were very low, as if a violent storm was brewing inside.
Lu Yuan glanced down at the wind speed indicator on the instrument panel. The wind speed nearby had reached around level seven, which is very common during flight. Lu Yuan calculated that it would take about ten minutes to reach the distant clouds.
Then, a burst of intense lightning flashed from the thick clouds in the distance, and Lu Yuan was immediately startled when he saw it.
So he turned to look at Zhou Tong, who was still fast asleep, and decided to see if he could adjust the flight direction to bypass the cloud layer.
Lu Yuan first looked to both sides and found that the width of the cloud layer was hundreds of kilometers long. If he wanted to go around it directly, he would have to take a long detour.
Furthermore, he didn't know the approximate length of the cloud layer, and if it was too long, it might be vulnerable to lightning strikes.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look at the instruments on the control panel, which displayed data such as wind speed, air pressure, and temperature.
