BXBX NOVEL Chapter 388: 180 Colonel Luo_2
Yang Changhong felt that Wang Tao could really outdo her in stirring up trouble… Although she joked about being an apocalypse nomad, deep down, she still hoped to find a place to settle down. If there was a large Survivor Base in Zijing City, she might just stay there…
“I’m going to check out the military base first.”
Wang Tao didn’t hide anything and spoke directly.
“The military base! You mean the one that does the airdrops? No wonder…”
Yang Changhong suddenly realized.
If he was heading to the military base, it made sense, after all, even fools knew that military bases had strong military force and were definitely safe.
Although it meant a longer journey, if one could reach the military base, it would be worth it.
Therefore, Yang Changhong didn’t continue on that topic.
At this moment, a buzzing sound came from the sky.
“Airdrop!”
Already very familiar with the sound of airdrops, Wang Tao immediately looked up.
Indeed, a small black dot appeared at the edge of the sky, a military transport plane.
Compared to Wang Tao’s calmness, the others were initially stunned, but once they realized what was happening, their faces lit up with excitement.
“It’s an airdrop!”
“We’ve finally seen another airdrop!”
“We have to keep a closer eye this time so we don’t lose track of the airdrop again!”
“But the last airdrop was randomly dropped; it left no trace. Unless it drops now, or we can keep up with it, then…”
After observing the plane’s flight direction, Yang Changhong shouted to Wang Tao outside the car:
“Wang Tao, what do you say? Shall we chase after the airdrop together? Whoever gets it, keeps it, deal?”
“Let’s do it together then.”
Wang Tao nodded.
After getting a response from Wang Tao, Yang Changhong immediately called out to everyone.
“Get ready, we’re going to follow the plane! Keep your eyes peeled!”
“Yes! Boss!”
Everyone was also very excited, leaving some to keep watch while the others focused intently on the sky.
A moment later, Yang Changhong cheered:
“We’re in luck this time! The plane is flying along the road! We should be able to follow for a while!”
Last time they saw an airdrop plane, it hadn’t flown along the road, so Yang Changhong and her group only managed to follow it for a short distance before losing track, ending up with no airdrops—although they had seen one, which Wang Tao got to first.
This time, they couldn’t afford another mistake!
Roar—
The engines of several vehicles roared as they accelerated forward.
Although the plane hadn’t flown over yet, it was on this route; all they had to do was follow the road. After all, the plane was too fast, and it was impossible for their vehicles to catch up with it; they could only hope to spot any airdrops during the pursuit. If there were no airdrops at all, it would just mean bad luck…
Watching everyone’s enthusiastic chase after the airdrop, Wang Tao found it quite amusing.
Xu Xiaojun was driving; he didn’t have much experience with chasing airdrops, so Wang Tao told him to just stick close to the convoy.
Wang Tao then took out a military walkie-talkie.
This walkie-talkie was from an airdrop they had found a few days ago and could connect to military equipment.
Of course, just having the equipment wasn’t enough; to contact the military, you needed to know the correct channels, passwords, and so on.
And Wang Tao just happened to know all of this!
The first airdrop he found in Shuize County had three pieces of paper in it, one of which contained the method for contacting Wuyang Military Base!
Although he lost that piece of paper while fleeing for his life, the content was etched firmly in Wang Tao’s memory.
Wang Tao had a sudden idea—could he use the walkie-talkie to contact the plane?
In theory, it should be possible. After all, this was a high-powered military walkie-talkie produced by Wuyang Military Base…
Wang Tao began to adjust it according to his memory. Soon, the walkie-talkie was set up.
“Can anyone hear me, this is survivor Wang Tao!”
“Can anyone hear me, this is survivor Wang Tao!”
“…”
“Sizzle…Sizzle…”
Wang Tao called out a few times into the walkie-talkie, but only a static sound buzzed in response.
He didn’t feel disappointed and kept trying.
“The plane is coming!”
Over the car’s walkie-talkie, Yang Changhong’s voice sounded.
Wang Tao looked up and through the sunroof, he could see a plane about to pass overhead.
“Isn’t it dropping the airdrop yet…”
Everyone silently prayed, hoping for the airdrop to be dropped quickly.
However, their prayers seemed to have no effect on the plane. Watching as the plane was about to fly past them, everyone felt a sense of helplessness. Yang Changhong also seemed somewhat dejected.
If the airdrop could be dropped at this time, it would be ideal, as they would be able to retrieve it quickly. But if the plane flew past and then dropped the airdrop, they would truly need to pursue it. Then, they could face the scenario where the airdrop was snatched up by Wang Tao again.
Of course, there was still some hope. The worst-case scenario would be if the plane didn’t drop any airdrops at all, or if the airdrops had already been completely dropped… then it would all have been excitement for nothing.
Inside Wang Tao’s car.
Wang Tao kept an eye on the plane overhead while frequently using the walkie-talkie.
At his current location, he should be the closest to the plane in terms of the walkie-talkie’s range. If he waited until the plane flew past, there would be no chance at all.
“Can anyone hear me, this is survivor Wang Tao! I’m right below you!”
