Although the temperature inside the cabin had risen slightly, it was still below minus ten degrees Celsius. However, Shi Quan was covered in sweat as he kept a close eye on the instrument panel to prevent any malfunctions.
As the plane rose higher and higher, everyone's hearts clenched. Lu Yuan looked up at the plane, which had already flown to a height of about twenty meters, and kept hoping in his heart: "Please don't let anything happen, success or failure hinges on this!"
The plane was still gaining altitude. The terrain in the valley was too complicated. It had to fly out of this complicated terrain to fly in all directions. Otherwise, if it just flew forward randomly, the wind might cause it to deviate from its direction. If that happened, it would lose control of the plane and the chance of it crashing would become extremely high.
The crowd not far away had forgotten the cold around them. They watched the plane in silence, some with anticipation, some with envy, and some with anger.
Sun Tian was stunned. He could hardly believe his eyes. As if unconsciously, he gently touched Chen Yun beside him.
"Didn't you say this plane couldn't fly at all? How did it take off?"
Sun Tian's tone carried a hint of reproach and anger.
Chen Yun was also incredulous that they had actually managed to repair the plane and get it airborne. Hearing Sun Tian's question, he became somewhat angry.
"I wasn't involved in the assembly, how would I know they could fly! Maybe they just got lucky. Besides, all the parts in this plane are extremely precise. Any random modifications could lead to a qualitative change from a gradual quantitative one. The best is yet to come, so why rush it!"
Chen Yun glared at Sun Tian beside him, but there was still a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"Damn it, what if they really fly away? I can't believe we actually managed to repair the plane after helping them!"
"Just watch, this plane can only fly around this island at most. Leaving this island will be extremely difficult! Although there are no problems with the engine or other parts now, there's no guarantee they won't encounter problems during the flight. This has happened before!"
Chen Yun's words were still somewhat malicious. He was currently cursing the plane in his heart as soon as possible so that Lu Yuan's men would come to him and beg for his life, and then he would have a chance to leave this hellish place.
As for his previous idea of cooperating with Sun Tian to exchange for food and leave this place, he could only say that times have changed. In this day and age, who has time to care about others? He can barely take care of himself, let alone have the energy to care about others.
Standing below, Lu Yuan excitedly gripped Xiao Shan's hand, using a bit of force. Xiao Shan's fingers ached from his grip, so she gently patted the back of Lu Yuan's hand.
"Don't worry, our plane has already taken off, look!"
Lu Yuanzhi realized that his palms were sweating from clenching his fists. He hesitated to loosen his grip even slightly, and looking at his reddened hands, he tenderly tucked Xiaoshan's hands into his pocket.
"I was a little too nervous. I didn't expect Shi Quan to actually have real skills!"
Suddenly the walkie-talkie next to me rang.
"Boss Lu, the aircraft has now smoothly entered an altitude of 500 meters. Shall we proceed with the next test?"
Shi Quan's voice was tinged with excitement. He himself couldn't believe that he had actually repaired the plane and successfully test-flew it. You have to know that this plane is the most sophisticated aerial weapon in the United States, and it is extremely difficult to repair.
Moreover, all the materials used were top-of-the-line globally. They had only temporarily found some other materials to piece it together, and to their surprise, it actually worked. He felt quite proud.
Lu Yuan's voice carried a hint of laughter: "Fly, fly out and circle the island once!"
"good!"
After saying that, the small black dot in the sky slowly drove away into the distance.
Only after the plane disappeared above the valley did Lu Yuan and his family erupt in cheers. Qi Liang, with a hint of emotion and envy in his eyes, walked up to Lu Yuan.
"Boss Lu, congratulations! You actually managed to repair the plane successfully!"
Lu Yuan's lips curled up slightly: "I have to thank you for finding these people for me!"
"No, no, we're all from the same camp, we help each other out!"
Qi Liang's eyes held a hint of anticipation. He wanted to get a few spots from Lu Yuan so he could take his wives and children with him away from here.
However, Lu Yuan only exchanged a few polite words with him and then ignored him. Qi Liang felt somewhat disappointed, but as he watched the plane fly away, another idea suddenly came to his mind.
Back with his men, he quietly approached a few of his lieutenants: "How much food do we have left in our camp?"
The deputy was slightly taken aback when he heard his words, then quickly picked up the booklet he was carrying and flipped through it: "There are still less than two tons of grain left! There are more than 300 jin of moldy rice, more than 700 jin of flour, and maybe more than 500 jin of miscellaneous grains. The rest are some miscellaneous biscuits and meats!"
Qi Liang nodded slightly: "Okay, take out fifty catties of rice and one hundred catties of flour, and some meat and biscuits. I'm going to organize a suicide squad!"
