Chapter 9 Escape
Two suns later, David was carrying a small backpack containing dried meat, fruits, a small water cup, a bottle of multi-functional super concentrated spray medicine and other items, wearing a small green digital helmet with full coverage for marmosets, and a shoulder bag.
The Muma, who had food and a small water bottle in their satchels, were shackled and then carried onto a solar-powered electric helicopter by five junior officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force.
Then, the helicopter slowly took off and flew towards the east.
Lulu, who has short curly black hair, stood by the second-floor window of a villa, looking at the helicopter disappearing in the distance, and made a cross on her chest with her right hand.
After the helicopter flew for more than two hours, David put his hand into the backpack he was holding on his chest. A soldier beside him quickly raised his gun and pointed it at David.
The rifle was slightly smaller, like a children's toy gun, suitable for soldiers of this age to operate.
David laughed and said, "Man, why are you so nervous? I'm just getting some food."
The soldier smiled shyly and lowered his gun.
Breaking a small piece of dried meat into two parts, and after eating the dried meat with Muma, David winked at Muma when he saw that some of the officers and soldiers continued to take a nap, and some looked at the scenery outside the window of the plane.
Then, he quietly put his hands into his open zippered jacket, took out two pistols specially designed for the Marmoset team from both sides of his waist, and pointed them at the heads of the soldier beside him and the pilot who was driving.
At the same time, Muma took out two walnut-sized sticks from her mouth, then grinned, biting two shining silver safety pins between her three white lower front teeth.
Although these weapons are small, because they are specially designed and use advanced super-concentrated **, they are still very powerful. It is completely possible to kill humans or blow up people in helicopters.
The five officers and soldiers and the two pilots immediately turned pale with fear.
They were all excellent soldiers originally, but now they all think that they are the future kings. How can they not be afraid of death?
There is no satellite network in the low-Earth orbit of Proxima Centauri b that can receive the soul backup signal from the safety hoop in real time and around the clock. It is far away from the base. What if there are one or two signal relays that were airdropped on the ground or on the top of the mountain along the way?
If it fails again, he might be beaten to death and thrown into the wilderness, and he will be left here forever. Who knows if Joseph will be merciful and send people out to search, or let the earth send their own DNA and souls again.
data?
With a few less people "sharing the spoils", some people in the base will be happy. Even if their soul data is preserved after their death, will those people...
David fully knew the true thoughts of these soldiers and ordered: "Open our shackles and hand over your portable communicators."
Without any hesitation, a soldier took out the key and opened the shackles of David and Mima.
The others obediently took off their communication equipment and threw it on the ground of the cabin.
David said at this time: "You five, and the co-pilot, bring your own weapons and parachute! I'm sorry for allowing you to bring weapons. Don't try any tricks to shoot at us after you leave the plane, otherwise I will force the pilot to use
The aircraft's machine guns will blast you away."
As if they had been granted amnesty, the five officers and soldiers and the co-pilot quickly strapped on their parachutes and other equipment, opened the hatch and scrambled to jump out of the helicopter.
After Muma closed the cabin, he picked up David and sat in the co-pilot's seat. David faced the pilot and ordered: "Fly to the north-southeast direction."
Just drive and obey.
David learned from Joseph that the East China Sea is more than 4,000 kilometers due east of the base, and if the helicopter flies north-southeast out of the Hawkingcastle landform area, the flight route will most likely intersect with a river flowing to the east.
.
The helicopter continued to fly for half an hour and had not left the Hawkingcastle landform area. David, who was sitting on Muma's shoulder, saw an eastward-flowing river on the ground in the distance, so he said to the pilot: "
Do you see the white beach on the river far ahead? Land there."
Soon, the helicopter slowly landed on a river beach covered with fine white stones.
Then, David climbed back to the back of the cabin, picked up his backpack, ordered the pilot to remove an electric rubber boat from the plane, pressed the electric inflation button to inflate it, and pushed the boat to the water's edge with Muma.
Then, David asked Muma to pull the safety pin again, looked at the pilot, climbed into the cockpit, stepped on several mechanical control buttons, climbed to an LCD screen, and changed the helicopter's startup password.
Then power off the aircraft.
The helicopter could not start, and the communication equipment could not be powered on.
Muma put the two guns that had been secured back into her bag, hugged David who was standing in the hatch, returned to the water and climbed into the rubber boat.
David still held the pistol and said to the pilot standing beside the boat: "Push the rubber boat into the water, and then slowly crack the code yourself, or wait for rescue."
The pilot had no choice but to use all his strength to push the rubber boat into the water, and watched helplessly as the rubber boat drifted downstream with the current.
The power start of the rubber boat is push-button. David can start it by himself, but the joystick on the engine is obviously too big for him, so he can only let Mima control it.
David quickly taught Muma how to operate the direction, accelerate and decelerate.
After gaining power, the rubber boat rushed downstream faster.
This is a rapid river about fifty meters wide. As it goes downstream, sometimes there are canyons on both sides, and sometimes there are mountains. It is not much different from some scenery on the earth.
There are various plants all over the mountain, but for some reason, the highest of these plants is only more than ten meters, and most of them are about one to five meters high.
At the same time, most of these plants are ferns, with only a few tree species like beech and ginkgo.
From time to time, some animals will appear on the shore. Most of them are similar to the animals from the middle and late Cretaceous period of the earth. They may be one size smaller or even hundreds or thousands of years old. Most of them are reptiles, and there are also a small number of mammals that appear to be primitive.
Big and small birds with weird colored feathers.
David had basically seen these photos, videos, specimens, and corpses of animals and plants from Joseph, so he didn't find them very new.
It seems that although there are too many uncertainties in the universe, the laws of biological evolution are still similar.
According to Muma's previous description, David knew that Muma's hometown was deep in an underground cave in a small mountainous area along the coast of the East China Sea.
Therefore, as long as you follow the river, you will definitely reach the East China Sea. This rubber boat has its own solar charging function, and the design is also very clever. The skin of the entire boat body is a solar panel, so it can last indefinitely.
“Puff puff puff!!!”
Suddenly, David heard the unique sound of the propeller of an electric helicopter cutting through the air. When he was about to look back, a burst of intense gunfire rang out, and neat lines of water splashed near the rubber boat.
"Joseph, this cunning guy, actually sent another helicopter to follow." David said as he turned around and saw that it was indeed a helicopter following the rubber boat in the air about 150 meters away.
.
The machine gun muzzle at the nose flashed with streaks of fire, the sound of gunshots came again almost at the same time, and new water splashed from behind the rubber boat.
So David immediately took out his pistol and fired back.
When the helicopter pilot saw David shooting, he quickly pulled up the nose of the aircraft. The pilot knew that although this pistol was small, it had a long range, and the bullets would explode.
The future king cannot be easily hit by bullets.
The helicopter flew into the air behind the rubber boat more than 300 meters away, and pointed the gun at the rubber boat again. When David saw this, he quickly shouted: "Mooma! Move to the left!"
Muma immediately turned the engine control lever to the left. Driven by the lever, the propeller turned to the left, and the rubber boat also followed the maneuver to the left and forward.
The place where the rubber boat was half a second ago was immediately covered by water spray.
Next, under David's command, the rubber boat swung left and right. Combined with David's occasional counterattacks, the helicopter was unable to accurately aim because it had to dodge. The rubber boat escaped repeated machine gun fire.
Human beings' natural fear of firearms made the helicopter pilot seem to forget at this time that in fact David's small pistol could not shoot that far at all.
But at this time, the muzzles of two rifles protruded from the windows on both sides of the helicopter.
It turned out that the soldiers on board saw that the onboard machine guns could not hit David and the others. They seemed to have lost their patience and opened the window to join the battle.
However, David had reason to suspect that it was Joseph, who was in real-time remote control control in the base, who ordered the soldiers to open the windows and shoot.
Soon, the rubber boat was hit by a rifle bullet and began to leak air.
David quickly fired back and pressed the electric inflation button on the side of the engine. The rubber boat, which was obviously deflating rapidly just now, slowly returned to its original shape.
However, the helicopter pilot was obviously forced by someone to lower the altitude slightly. Although the marksmanship of the airborne machine gun operator was still so bad, the shooting accuracy of the guns in the hands of the soldiers on the aircraft increased, although none of them hit the two monkeys.
, but the rubber boat was hit by two more rifle bullets, and the hull began to collapse rapidly again.
At this time, a huge roar of water came from the front. David was overjoyed and shouted: "Mouma, accelerate with all your strength!"
After a while, the barely unsinkable rubber boat flew up, then fell rapidly, rushing towards the water below a waterfall more than ten meters high.
After falling into the water, the rubber boat had completely collapsed. Muma grabbed David and surfaced.
Due to its inertia, the helicopter had already rushed to the sky more than 200 meters in front of the waterfall, and was drawing an arc in the air to fly back.
David looked carefully and found that there was a cave behind the waterfall. He quickly reached out and pointed towards the cave.
Mu Ma understood it in her heart, took the backpack on David's back, and swam towards the waterfall.
Unexpectedly, Muma swam very fast and reached the bottom of the waterfall in more than ten seconds. When she jumped onto the shore, machine gun bullets also chased her into the water behind her.
Muma was very agile. She held David with one hand and sprinted towards the entrance of the cave along a slippery steep slope. A few meters behind her, there were constant explosions of bullets hitting rocks, and small bullet fragments flying.
