Chapter 1008 Departure! (Dear readers, please subscribe!)
"You guys..."

Tan Huajun was both amused and exasperated to see so many people "betraying" her.

"Hey, Lao Tan, you can't blame me for this. A mission personally undertaken by our big brother must be extraordinary. We have to go!"

"Haha, Fatty, Brother Zhu is right! The port has already been developed, there's no risk. We are all brave warriors, we must be fearless in the face of challenges!"

"Brother Su, I was the first one to raise my hand, did you see that?"

"Clearly clear! Don't worry." Zhang Su pointed his finger across the faces of the people: "Zhu Zi, Xiao Shuai, and Xiao Chen raised their hands the fastest, so it's just the three of you."

"Brother Su, you still haven't said where you're going?"

Pang Dakun stood up anxiously, his face full of distress.

"Helping Dr. Fu retrieve his equipment from the island was hard work, haha, are you regretting it now?"

Zhang Su chuckled, but little did he know that those who weren't selected were even more frustrated.

Is this hard work?

Even if it is, so what? Being able to fly in a helicopter and go to the island at sea is something I've never experienced before, let alone after a disaster!

"Damn it, Pillar, I'll trade you three packs of cigarettes for a spot, are you in?"

Lu Yubo was furious, regretting that he wasn't quick-witted enough.

"Hey, you can trade privately? Brother Su, aren't you going to do anything about this?" Liu Tianji was anxious. He wanted to go too, but he didn't have any stock to trade with.

Zhang Su shrugged, indicating that he would not interfere.

"I'll pay five packs of cigarettes!"

After seeing Zhang Su's attitude, Pang Dakun immediately raised the price and gestured to Zhao Dezhu and the other two by raising his hand.

"I'll give you one!"

Lu Yubo raised a proud finger, looking down at everyone. This number was already quite astonishing. Even in the Yama Legion, very few people had a whole carton of cigarettes in stock...

Seeing that no one else was bidding, Lu Yubo looked at Zhao Dezhu and said, "Dazhu, the island is dangerous, the port is safe. For Qingqing's sake, why don't you go to the port?"

People grow up silently, and Lu Yubo has also come to understand the ways of the world.

"No way! What danger could I possibly face following my bro? You're kidding me, hehe!"

Zhao Dezhu sat with his legs crossed, picking his teeth, looking incredibly smug.

"Handsome young man? Let's change..."

Lu Yubo looked at Qi Xiaoshuai with hopeful eyes and raised a finger to indicate one.

Qi Xiaoshuai gave an awkward but polite smile: "I, well, I have plenty of supplies, so I won't exchange it, hehehe..."

If we're talking about who has the most abundant stock of cigarettes and snacks on Tianma Island these days, even Zhang Su, without using his special privileges, can't compare to Qi Xiaoshuai and Wu Lue.

"Brother Lu, you've forgotten, Xiao Shuai and Luezi brought back a truckload of supplies. The commission alone is enough to live on for half a year. He definitely won't trade it..."

Zhao Dezhu actually hoped that Lu Yubo could come along, as the two were good brothers, but he couldn't help him.

Finally, it was Chen Hanzhou's turn. Before Lu Yubo could even ask, he said, "I've quit smoking."

"A trump card." Seeing the strange looks from everyone, Chen Hanzhou forced a smile: "Smoking is harmful to your health."

Everyone gave Chen Hanzhou the middle finger, their suspicion written all over their faces.

Pei Lan spoke up in Chen Hanzhou's defense, saying, "It's true, Hanzhou has quit smoking for over half a month now."

Upon reflection, everyone realized that Chen Hanzhou had indeed not smoked for quite some time.

Everyone looked at Chen Hanzhou with strange eyes. The pressure of life in the apocalypse was great. Even female members who didn't smoke before had become addicted. There were too many indulgent people. There were also self-disciplined people. It depends on the aspect. They were very active in exercising, but suppressing their smoking addiction was a bit too strong!

Zheng Xinyu looked at Zhang Su with a hint of resentment. He hadn't even told her about such an important matter beforehand, which prevented her from going with him as she wished. She couldn't ask for help at this time, so she felt very helpless.

"Alright, that's the mission arrangement for today. Da Chao, you don't need to go to the port. Go down the mountain and help Wu Daqiang and the others select the sentry posts. We'll move out after we finish eating!"

At the command, everyone sped up their eating.

The helicopter is fully fueled and has a range of about 700 kilometers, but considering that this is blended fuel, it may not burn as well, so let's say 500 kilometers. The round trip to our destination today is about 200 kilometers, which is enough.

The two helicopters were piloted by Wu Baokang and Liu Lingping. Zhang Su chose the helicopter with the psychologist, accompanied by Fu Weijun and Duan Wuhu. Zhao Dezhu and the other two took the other helicopter.

chug chu...

As the sound of the propellers grew louder and stronger, and the wind swept across Tianma Island, two helicopters took off one after another.

It was Zhang Susheng's first time riding in a helicopter, and he was admittedly a little nervous. The protective measures were also quite thorough, with everyone wearing parachute packs. Liu Lingping provided training on how to use them...

As the helicopter pulled away, the feeling of weightlessness was irresistible. The noise-canceling headphones couldn't completely block out the noise. Watching the camp gradually recede into the distance, and the entire scene come into view, I let out a long breath and calmed my nervousness.

There were four people on the helicopter. Liu Lingping was fully focused on piloting it, showing no signs of tension, just complete concentration.

Fu Weijun's demeanor was equally natural, suggesting he must have frequently used air travel in the past. However, the most nervous person was not Zhang Su, but Duan Wuhu.

Duan Wuhu, who was nearly forty, had a slightly loose face, but at this moment it was taut, with wrinkles that could trap mosquitoes. His eyes were closed and his hands were gripping the safety handrail tightly.

The atmosphere on the other helicopter was quite good. Apart from Chen Hanzhou, the other three were chatting and laughing, and even the pilot, Wu Baokang, was immersed in the cheerful atmosphere. Fortunately, this did not affect his piloting skills, as he still had some talent in this area!
On the ground, more than two thousand people stood watching, their eyes following the helicopter's movements. This curiosity wouldn't fade until the helicopter had taken off and landed at least ten times...

Before the convoy heading to the port even set off, while the helicopter was taking off, Tan Huajun was still gathering manpower and preparing vehicles. However, it was only about ten minutes later that the convoy left Tianma Island and headed straight for the port.

Once the helicopters and convoys had left, Tianma Island returned to calm, and people resumed their work. There was a lot going on at the camp, and the cadres in the management framework were like parts of a large machine, constantly working and cooperating with each other.

"Phew, damn it, Weijun, you've really screwed me over! My biggest fear in life is flying, but today I'm risking my life to accompany you!"

After the helicopter flew over the Haihe Bridge, Duan Wuhu finally calmed down with the comforting words of Zhang Su and Fu Weijun. The main thing was that once the ascent was over, as long as you didn't look down, it wasn't much different from riding a cable car or a Ferris wheel.

Hearing Duan Wuhu's frustrated voice through the earpiece, Zhang Su laughed and said, "Old Duan, let me tell you, when we were competing for a spot on this mission, Bo Zai offered a carton of cigarettes!"

"Huh?" Duan Wuhu glanced at Zhang Su with a twisted expression, then reached out to Fu Weijun: "I don't care, you owe me a pack of cigarettes!"

"Don't worry, Brother Duan. Once we get to the island, you can take whatever supplies you want, provided Mr. Zhang agrees!"

Fu Weijun maintained a smile the whole way, just like a young wife returning to her parents' home, which was quite rare for him.

Zhang Su spread his hands and said, "The main task of this trip is to collect various instruments. We will collect half of the supplies from the island's camp, and the rest will be divided among the eight of us."

"That's a fantastic suggestion, haha!"

Duan Wuhu forced a smile after hearing Zhang Su's words, trying his best not to look down.
