Chapter 1533 - 876: Was I Seeing Things?
Big Camphor Tree Base.Jackals and Ant piloted the helicopter back, and after they docked the helicopter in Weng City.
Second Uncle and the others had come down from the wall early to wait, and they told them what Li Yu had said on the military radio.
After hearing this, Jackals and Ant both showed angry expressions on their faces, eager to set out immediately and return to eliminate those scammers.
However, they managed to composed themselves.
Second Uncle instructed Old Lv to move the pre-prepared converter and some necessary equipment for helicopter repairs onto the aircraft.
And had someone refuel the helicopter with aviation kerosene.
Given the load capacity of this helicopter, it couldn’t carry many heavy items.
Not only did they have to load enough aviation kerosene and sensors for the other two helicopters, but also personnel capable of repairing helicopters, Lao Yi and his team, along with some heavy weapons.
Loading this much already reached the helicopter’s limit.
If the two helicopters discovered by Li Yu and his side were repaired, the load capacity would be greatly enhanced.
Soon.
They finished refueling, and Lao Yi and a few others boarded the helicopter, taking their seats and fastening their seat belts, ready to depart at any moment.
Li Yu had notified them in advance, allowing Second Uncle and the others at Big Camphor Tree Base to prepare ahead, so Jackals and his team didn’t stay long at Big Camphor Tree Base, spending less than twenty minutes.
Ant saw that everyone was already on board, so he instructed Jackals to close the door, waved to Second Uncle and others below, and ignited for takeoff.
They were in a hurry, having departed for Gui Province this morning, which took over three hours one way, and although they expedited the return, it still took nearly three hours.
It was now nearing three in the afternoon, and they had to return to the helicopter rescue base in Gui Province before dark, otherwise, it would be very difficult to manage in the night.
In the post-apocalypse, there was no GPS navigation, and they couldn’t discern directions in the dark.
Once night falls, they could only find a nearby place to camp, otherwise blindly flying would deplete fuel and risk veering off course, requiring more time to locate directions.
Since Jackals had already piloted the helicopter for over six hours today, Ant swapped positions with him, moving Jackals to the co-pilot seat.
Behind them, Lao Yi, after they ascended into the sky, asked Jackals:
"I just heard that helicopters were found, is it true?"
Jackals responded, covering his earpiece, turned to Lao Yi and said, "Yes, but they’re both damaged, so we need to take you there to repair those two helicopters, and also bring the sensors along."
After saying this, Jackals recalled what Li Yu Second Uncle had mentioned earlier, that due to the time constraints, he hadn’t gotten detailed information, so he asked:
"Do you know much about the Southeast Asian scammers? Can you tell me more in detail?"
Ant, who was piloting the helicopter, had been listening to the public frequency, so he could hear their conversation as well.
At this moment, his mind stirred, and his ears perked up.
For Ant and his team, Southeast Asia was a place of deep memories, having fought there and escaped encirclement from thousands of enemies.
The most painful thing for them was losing one of their teammates over there.
It was their last mission, and the most painful one they had ever carried out.
They desperately wanted revenge, but before the apocalypse, they were constrained by numerous limitations.
But now, upon learning that some dared to invade and pillage them,
the fire in their hearts was ignited.
Although this group of scammers was not the same as those who had encircled them, these scammers were equally not good people.
They deserved to die!
After hearing Jackals’ words, Lao Yi spoke up: "I just heard about this matter recently, I probably know only a bit more than you."
Before Jackals and his team returned, Second Uncle had suddenly called him over, and only briefly told him about Li Yu’s situation on their end.
"It’s alright, just tell what you know." Jackals said.
Thus, Lao Yi had no choice but to share what he knew with Jackals.
....
On the other side, Li Yu was still discussing with Third Uncle.
The distance from Big Camphor Tree Base to Gui Province was almost as far as from Big Camphor Tree Base to Oil City, so the journey was actually not short.
If a war were to be launched, it wouldn’t be that simple.
This involved the supply of food, ammunition, personnel.
Everything had to be transported from nearly a thousand kilometers away.
Although no reconnaissance had been conducted, Li Yu was already eighty percent sure that what Zhang Rufen said was true.
For Li Yu, if he were to make a move, it would never be as simple as just repelling those scammers.
He disliked doing repetitive things, and especially hated continuous trouble.
Whether it be in Safe City, against Zhou Sheng, or with the Motorcycle Gang and Western Alliance, he either made no move or when he did, he aimed to utterly destroy them, going all out to annihilate completely.
This way, it would avoid back-and-forth trouble.
Though Third Uncle had become accustomed to Li Yu’s modus operandi, this time, he had a profound admiration for Li Yu’s approach.
