Chapter 470 Helicopter
The two dared not move, not because they didn't want to stick their heads out to look, but because they couldn't.
Who were the people flying over in a helicopter at this time? Was it an official organization or a non-governmental organization?
The two have stayed in the mountains for so many years and know nothing about the outside world. Who knows whether the people who came are good or evil?
Mu Xi reached out to open the buckle of Zhao Yeqing's seat belt, put his hands on her shoulders to push her down, and said in a deep voice:
"Hide for a while."
There were many mosquitoes on the meadow, so the windows were closed when the car was not moving to prevent mosquitoes from flying in, but to be on the safe side, the two men still lowered their bodies.
Judging from the sound, the helicopter was still some distance away from the two of them. Mu Xi thought about it and simply put the chair down, "Let's go to the back seat and hide under the seat."
The back seat of this large off-road vehicle had a lot of space. With the backrest of the front seat slightly flattened, Zhao Yeqing didn't feel crowded hiding underneath. However, it was a little difficult for Mu Xi to hide. With his body hunched over, there was almost no space for him.
The car was parked at a low point, with a small gentle slope in front and behind. The movements of the two people caused the car to rise and fall slightly, which was temporarily blocked by the gentle slope. The helicopter in the distance that had not yet approached should not have noticed it.
But just because you don’t notice the shaking doesn’t mean you won’t notice such a big car.
The car was a little dirty from the mud this morning. The mud spots were dried and hardened on the body of the car under the strong sun, making it look less like someone was using it.
The two heard a roar coming from far away and getting closer. It was coming from behind, which was the direction of home. Zhao Yeqing kept listening carefully to the sound and made sure that the roar was moving and did not stay over the house before he felt relieved.
She was now extremely grateful that the rain last night made the car less clean. Otherwise, with Mu Xi's professionalism in car washing, it would be as if he had received training at a 4S shop before the earth cracked, and the car body would have been polished to a shiny finish.
There is nothing planted in the farmland outside the house. It looks quite desolate with wild weeds growing wildly. It rained last night, so the plastic shed of the greenhouse in the yard has been covered. I hope it won't be too conspicuous.
In fact, even if they knew that there were still people living on the meadow, the people on the helicopter would not come down on purpose unless they saw something they needed, such as supplies, cattle, sheep, or women.
Mu Xi's face looked unhappy. Zhao Yeqing had been in the mountain before the ground cracked, and she didn't see anything when the outside became chaotic.
But he was different. When the outside world was in turmoil and people were in panic, and order was disrupted, the evil of human nature was like a Pandora's box that had been opened, and all the previous repression, unwillingness, and desires were released.
He witnessed countless tragedies along the way from the city to Meishan, which were evils that ordinary people could not imagine in peacetime.
So even if they were official people and good people, the two of them had no intention of showing up because they didn't want to leave.
Zhao Yeqing thought so too. Unless communications were restored someday, she wasn't talking about the internet and cell phone signals. She knew that many signal towers had collapsed. What she was waiting for was radio communications.
As long as he can connect to that signal, Zhao Yeqing might try to leave the mountains, not to go out and live, but to go out and collect information. The more information he has, the better he can protect himself.
As the two were thinking about a lot of things, the helicopter that was already overhead stopped. Zhao Yeqing was very sure that it was parked above the car!
The feeling of being stared at by danger almost suffocated the two of them, but what could they do? Run away? If the other party really had hostility towards them, running away would be courting death. There were no trees nearby, it was the most empty place. Once discovered, there would be no place to hide.
But in the car, he also had a feeling of being tied up. The powerlessness that surged in Mu Xi's heart made his eyes red. He clenched his fists and looked up at Zhao Yeqing with self-blame in his eyes.
If he hadn't stopped the car suddenly, the two of them might have already entered the woods. With the cover of the trees and their many years of experience in the mountains and forests, even if the other party got off the helicopter, they were more than 90% sure that they could protect themselves in the mountains and forests.
Instead of becoming a lamb to be slaughtered in this remote place where there is no village or shop nearby.
Zhao Yeqing knew what he was thinking. He shook his head gently at him, reached out and held his hand, and inserted his fingers into his clenched palm to prevent him from pinching his palm any further.
"It'll be alright—"
'Bang! Bang!'
As soon as he finished speaking, several gunshots were heard overhead! The bullets blew up the tires of the car, and the car body shook violently. Mu Xi stretched out his arms to steady Zhao Yeqing's shaking body, and tucked her head behind the backrest of the folded front seat.
Zhao Yeqing had never seen Mu Xi so flustered before, so she said hurriedly, "I'm fine, I'm fine, don't panic!"
The roar above their heads continued and was so loud that even if the two of them spoke louder than normal, the other person would not be able to hear them.
'Crash!'
The tire was punctured, and the glass in the rear compartment was also punctured, with broken glass splattered around the two men. They did not move, so as not to let the other party notice their presence through the broken glass.
The man in the helicopter seemed to be finally satisfied and retracted the smoking gun muzzle, closed the helicopter door and gradually flew away from the meadow.
ill!
It was not until the sound disappeared that Zhao Yeqing stared angrily through the car window in the direction where the helicopter disappeared.
Mu Xi helped Zhao Yeqing up and rubbed her red knees, but her legs were numb and could not be touched at all. They felt sore, swollen and itchy when touched.
Helping her sit down in the back seat and relax, Mu Xi squeezed her hand and said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll get off the car and take a look."
After Mu Xi left Zhao Yeqing's sight, his expression suddenly turned gloomy. When the helicopter flew away, he quickly raised his eyes and saw the ostentatious and bloody organization logo on the plane. It was obvious that he was not a good person.
Of course, good people wouldn't do things like bursting tires and car windows.
He guessed that the other party was either in a hurry to go somewhere or did not want to waste bullets. Otherwise, judging from the traces in the house and the condition of the car, it was not difficult to see that there were people active there. Their badness could not be measured by the standards of a human being, and they must have done more than just this to the car.
It is not impossible to fire a volley of bullets and blow up the entire car.
Mu Xi opened the back of the car, took out the electric scooter from the trunk, and told Zhao Yeqing to get out. "Let's go. We can only take this back first."
After cleaning up the remaining glass shards, the two of them no longer had time to care about their original plan and the most important thing was to go home.
