Chapter 1775: Fate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Flying on the highlands was a challenge, and flying in a snowstorm was a challenge from the power of nature. However, the soldiers of Army Aviation couldn’t remember how many times they had challenged the power of nature.
Ye Jian was sitting on the second seat on the right. From her angle, she could see the expressions of all the soldiers.
Up ahead, the crew and the pilot were working seamlessly. In the face of harsh weather, they remained calm and faced all the difficulties in front of them bravely.
Their excellent flying skills, strong mental fortitude, and fearless performance gave the Storm Commando team and the Xueyu unit more confidence. Because they believed in them, they did not feel afraid.
“They’ll be fine. They’re just preparing for the worst. The climate in the highlands is constantly changing. The winter patrols are easy for the Army Aviation soldiers.” Li Jinnian, who was initially already calm, continued to have a calm expression on his face. Although his tall and sturdy body was being shaken, he was as calm as a mountain.
As a commander, the situation before him was just a small emergency. There was nothing to be afraid of.
During the bumpy ride, they could not move around. The pilot of the Black-20 maintained a calm expression as he headed in the direction indicated by the 3D navigation map. He flew the helicopter over the vast snowstorm toward the military depot.
Ye Jian didn’t understand why they flew from a 2,000-meter altitude to a 5,000-meter altitude. She didn’t understand why they were not flying at a lower altitude to get through the wind and snow. Instead, they chose to fly up against the wind.
If a normal person wanted to land safely, they would definitely choose to fly at a low altitude. However, neither the pilot of the Black-20 nor the regimental commander of Army Aviation chose to fly at a low altitude.
With this question in mind, Ye Jian thought, ‘I’ll definitely ask about it after we get back.’
Knowing that the Black-20 couldn’t land successfully, Xia Jinyuan pursed his thin lips tightly as he looked at the hazy snow sky.
Their wireless communications had been completely cut off, and they had no way of contacting anyone. The satellites of the Snow Region Plateau were basically in the final test. The comprehensive satellite connection would probably be completed around the 6th of July. It was only January now, so there was still half a year to go.
Xia Jinyuan saw a figure walking over from the heavy snow. It was Big Whale bringing the soldiers who were responsible for covering the three helicopters back to the windproof cave.
He strode into the cave. He was covered in snow and didn’t even have the time to pat it off. With a dark expression, he said with a tense voice, “Q King, the ground navigation command center has sent a message. The military depot sent over ten cultural soldiers but the soldiers at the military station lost contact with them. They were heading to Shenxian Bay to spend the Lunar New Year with the officials stationed there.”
At this time, there was a violent snowstorm in the northwestern part of the country. When the snow sealed off the mountains, a group of special forces soldiers came for training. However, for a group of cultural soldiers, wasn’t it nonsense for them to come at this time?
‘Do they still want to live?’ Big Whale thought with a gloomy heart.
Xia Jinyuan didn’t care why the people from the cultural troop chose this time to come over. He was more concerned about the purpose of the ground navigation command center in sending the message over.
“Who received the message? Ask him to come look for me.” Xia Jinyuan pursed his lips into a straight line. He turned around and walked toward the windproof cave. At the same time, he said to Z7 and Han Zheng, “Give me the map of the northwest border.. Get me all the detailed topographic maps of the military base at the foot of the mountain and Shenxian Bay.”
