Seeing the reactions of the others, Lu Yuan couldn't help but pat Shi Quan on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry, the plane couldn't be saved. We encountered a storm on the way. This is my fault."
Shi Quan shook his head slightly, his face showing a hint of shock and confusion: "Mr. Lu, that's not what I meant. I wanted to ask you, with your plane in such a terrible state, how did it manage to land safely? That doesn't make sense."
"Haha, the explanation for everything is probably just that we're too lucky."
Zhou Tong chuckled jokingly, then glanced at another transport plane.
"We can only take another plane now. Has the maintenance on this plane been completed?"
Zhou Tong nodded immediately, then walked up to the plane and said, "It's all been inspected. We'll check every single part inside. I know that small planes aren't suitable for long-distance travel; the chances of them breaking down are very high. I think I forgot to mention that when we left; it was my negligence."
However, Zhou Tong waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright. I know that small planes have a high accident rate. But it's good that we don't have the chance to fly on this small plane anymore. It's yours to take over. Whether you dismantle it and rebuild it or repair it, it's up to you. We'll take this plane with us."
Shi Quan had no problem with it and handed the plane keys to Lu Yuan without saying a word.
Lu Yuan took the keys and looked at them: "This transport plane is so big, can one person operate it? Do we need to find another co-pilot?"
Zhou Tong waved his hand dismissively: "It's alright. The size of the plane won't affect its handling, but one person can definitely fly it without any problems. Besides, this transport plane is extremely reliable. If we had been flying this plane back then, there shouldn't have been any issues!"
Lu Yuan circled the plane twice and found that almost every part of it had been repaired and looked very new. This reassured Lu Yuan a lot. After all, Shi Quan had been with him for many years, and Lu Yuan trusted him quite a bit.
Lu Yuan then turned to Zhou Tong and asked, "Shall we go out and continue our journey now?"
"No problem, let's go now. Transport planes are much more comfortable to fly in than small commercial airliners!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan handed the keys to Zhou Tong, who now had a strong fear of airplanes.
Then, Lu Yuan followed Zhou Tong onto the plane. With a flick of his finger, the plane disappeared from its original spot and returned to the outside of the dimensional space. It seemed that the distant clouds had not dissipated at all, and even showed a tendency to expand.
"Old Zhou, can we still walk in this weather? Why don't we wait another day?"
Due to the impact of the previous storm, Lu Yuan is now worried that there might be problems if he tries to fly the plane again. So, although he is very reluctant to stay for another day, he can only postpone it for safety reasons.
Zhou Tong stared at the thick clouds in the distance, observing for a while before speaking: "I suspect that these clouds won't dissipate anytime soon. It's almost impossible for us to wait for them to dissipate. I just checked! These clouds are still expanding. We must set off immediately, otherwise we might end up taking an even longer detour!"
After hearing Zhou Tong's words, Lu Yuan could only nod slightly in agreement.
After familiarizing himself with the interface, Zhou Tong looked at Lu Yuan.
"Are you ready? This time it might be much more comfortable than before, I'm worried you'll fall asleep!"
Hearing Zhou Tong's teasing, Lu Yuan laughed heartily: "Haha, don't worry, I can't sleep. In that case, let's set off and get out of this awful place as soon as possible before the clouds continue to expand. I don't want to stay here a moment longer!"
Zhou Tong fastened his seatbelt, handed the helmet to Lu Yuan, and then started the engine.
The two huge propellers overhead began to spin. After a few minutes of warm-up, Zhou Tong gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up and then gently lifted the control stick upwards.
As the control stick slowly rose, the plane gradually lifted off the ground. The objects on the ground became smaller and smaller. Zhou Tong adjusted the plane's altitude to about 300 meters and then began to turn the fuselage.
The cloud cover was so vast that even after flying for two and a half hours, the plane was still unable to escape the enormous cloud layer, which made Lu Yuan feel anxious.
"This cloud layer is so huge, how long will it take us to get around it like this?"
Zhou Tong's expression was solemn as he looked at the endless expanse in the distance: "It's hard to say. This could be the cloud layer of a superstorm. It would probably take a long time to fly over there. The storm could cover an area of thousands of kilometers!"
Then Zhou Tong looked at Lu Yuan again: "Moreover, based on my experience from the past few years in the apocalypse, things in the apocalypse are very large. This cloud layer could potentially cover an area of thousands of kilometers. We need to be mentally prepared that we may have to travel a long distance!"
Hearing the other party's words, Lu Yuan's heart sank: "Wouldn't this take too long? Should we take another risk?"
"Let's forget about it. The superstorm looks too big, and it would be extremely dangerous to try and get through it. We only have this one plane left, and we can't risk it!"
In the end, Lu Yuan could only nod, because thousands of kilometers would take a very long time for a helicopter to fly, and they were now very helpless and had no choice but to go around the clouds of this super storm.
