Chapter 228 Fall (Part 1)

The sun was shining brightly in the sky.

Dozens of sparrows, which were larger than chicks, crowded on the branches, chirping non-stop.

Under the tree, a triangular-headed snake with a length of 1.78 meters stood upright, looking at the sparrows on the branches, spitting out its tongue non-stop.

The snake twisted its body and wrapped around the tree, which was only as thick as a bowl, and then climbed up at an extremely slow speed. Its goal was clear, which was the row of sparrows on the branches. It didn't need to hunt all of them, as long as it caught one, it would be enough for a full meal.

Because the snake climbed very slowly and its body color was similar to that of the tree trunk, it was a natural camouflage color. The sparrow chirped, preened its feathers, and squeezed with its companions, but did not notice the snake.

In this way, the snake slowly climbed to a very close distance to the sparrow, ready to launch an attack. Its back half was wrapped around the tree trunk to keep it stable, and the front half of its body shrank into an S shape.

The hunter has locked onto the prey, and the fatal blow is just around the corner.

Boom...

Suddenly!

There was a loud noise in the sky, and a giant steel object sped past. The strong airflow swept down, blowing off the leaves and scaring the sparrows.

The sparrows immediately scattered and fled, and the iron-headed snake could only spit out its tongue and watch the meat that was almost in its mouth fly away.

The giant steel object, black and red in color, was the Storm armed helicopter. In the cockpit, Fei Ling was concentrating on driving the plane, while Luo Ren was holding a map and looking at it.

The map was the map of Jiangnan Province, but it was a reduced version. The original version was too large and difficult to carry, so Luo Ren asked Shat to copy it and make a reduced version.

There were red circles on the map of Tianwu Mountain and H City, and a straight red line was drawn between the two with a red pen.

Without satellite navigation, if you want to cross two cities to reach Tianwu Mountain, you can only use this map of Jiangnan Province, which marks the east, south, west and north. The Baofeng armed helicopter has a standard compass, so this method can roughly calculate how to get to Tianwu Mountain.

And how long it takes can also be calculated. The total mileage minus the flight speed can get the required flight time. Although it is not very accurate, it is much better than flying around without a head.

Luo Ren looked at the map for a while, then folded it up and asked, "Where are we now?"

Fei Ling replied, "Report to the commander, according to calculations, we have now crossed Dongjiang City and entered Xijiang City. If nothing goes wrong, we can enter Ningtong City where Tianwu Mountain is located in about 20 minutes."

"Yeah." Luo Ren nodded with satisfaction and praised generously, "The speed of the plane is still fast. If it is a car, it will take most of the day on the highway in peacetime, not to mention now. If there is an attack on the way, one or two days, three or four days may not be enough to arrive."

"Yes, this journey is relatively smooth, and there is no danger of zombies or evolved animals attacking." Fei Ling said with a smile.

"That's right..."

Luo Ren echoed, but he choked before he finished speaking. A black mass suddenly appeared in front of him, moving rapidly towards this side.

Looking closely, it turned out to be hundreds of sparrows, which are much larger than chicks.

"What's going on? Sparrows are non-aggressive evolved animals, why are they constantly moving towards us?"

Luo Ren was just a little surprised, not afraid of sparrows. These sparrows are a little bigger and have a numerical advantage, but Baofeng is an armed helicopter, and the 30mm machine gun on the belly is not a vegetarian. If these sparrows don't know what's good for them, they will be shot and killed directly.

"What should I do, sir?" Fei Ling asked.

"Hover and wait. If these sparrows don't take a detour when they reach the dangerous distance, you know." Luo Ren ordered.

Fei Ling said, "I understand." Then his finger touched the machine gun firing button, his eyes looked directly at the dark group of sparrows, breathing slowly, ready to shoot at any time.

In the cockpit at this time, Luo Ren and Fei Ling stopped communicating, and they could hear their heartbeats quietly.

With every heartbeat, the distance between the sparrows got closer. After a few heartbeats, the distance between the sparrows was about to reach the dangerous range, and Fei Ling's hand muscles couldn't help but tighten.

Just as he was about to press the shooting button, the flock of sparrows suddenly split into two waves, flying to the left and right respectively, which made him feel relieved.

But before he could exhale completely, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he heard Luo Ren shouting anxiously: "Be careful!"

Luo Ren saw the sparrows disperse, and at first he relaxed, but he didn't expect that there was a pursuer behind the group of sparrows, and it was a big one.

As far as his eyes could see, a raptor with a body size similar to the Storm armed helicopter, dark brown upper body, light brown lower body, and dark brown horizontal stripes rushed over.

Luo Ren's reminder was timely, Fei Ling immediately released the throttle, and the helicopter fell rapidly. The raptor flew over quickly, and the air flow was turbulent, causing the helicopter to sway from side to side and fly unsteadily. Fei Ling tried his best to control it.

Luo Ren quickly searched for the knowledge about birds in his mind, and soon found the information about this flat-haired beast. This is a ferocious bird belonging to the eagle family, called "𫛭 (kuang, second tone)".

After the flying past saw the steel monster, the sparrows were no longer attracted to it. After flying past, it soared up, let out a high-pitched cry, and then suddenly turned around and swooped down towards the swaying steel monster.

Boom——

The dive speed was so fast that it broke the sound barrier and caused a sonic boom.

Fei Ling had just stabilized the plane when he heard the sonic boom. As a pilot, he had excellent physical fitness and excellent reaction ability, but the dive speed of 𫛭was too fast and the distance was too close, so he could not dodge at this time.

Luo Ren was not a pilot and could not control the plane. Moreover, he was in the cockpit now and could not make a corresponding reaction. He could only watch 𫛭 stretch out a pair of claws to grab.

Clang clang clang——

The pair of claws grabbed the rotor blades, and sparks flew everywhere. After 𫛭 felt the pain, he immediately flapped his wings to pull away.

This blow was a fatal blow to the helicopter. The rotor caught by it was not only braked instantly, but the blades that were directly in contact became bent under the strong force.

As a result, the helicopter immediately lost power and fell down.

Luo Ren saw that the situation was not good, so he raised his fist and smashed the protective cover of the cockpit. Then he cut his own seat belt and Fei Ling's seat belt, and jumped out of the cockpit holding him.
