Chapter 1426: Binoculars
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Shao Shuting buried himself in the helicopter and found a few pairs of gloves. He threw a pair to Huo Wenqing and said, “Although Wenqing and I are very good at fixing this, it will take at least two days. It takes time to find the right parts.”
Jiang Yue nodded. “Alright then.”
It was considered a short time. After all, it would take longer to walk on foot. The road was not easy to walk on, and some places were even rugged. They could not walk much. Once the helicopter could fly, the distance that the helicopter flew in an hour would be equivalent to the distance that they might walk for many days.
Moreover, from the looks of Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing, it was obvious that they had a high chance of fixing a helicopter and flying it.
Then, Shao Shuting put on a pair of gloves and began to repair it with Huo Wenqing. As for the other gloves, he threw them aside for the other two.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan picked it up and also put on a pair of gloves to move sc.r.a.ps.
He dismantled whatever parts he was asked to dismantle and installed the parts wherever he was asked to. He wanted to fix a helicopter and fly it as soon as possible.
Because he wanted to dismantle the things inside a helicopter, Xue Yan got into the helicopter without hesitation.
Then, on the seat inside, he found two thin barrel-shaped things and a strap that seemed to hang around his neck. There seemed to be lenses on the thin barrels. He did not know what lenses they were, but he felt that they should be lenses.
Jiang Yue was standing outside. Seeing this, she said, “That’s a binocular.” As she spoke, she reached in to pick it up and wiped the dust off it, especially the dust on the lenses. Then, she looked into the distance with the binoculars. “Just like that.” Then, she handed him the binoculars.
Xue Yan took it and imitated her, also looking into the distance. He could see quite far and quite clearly.
Coincidentally, the other helicopters also had binoculars. They could see further than the naked eye, so they collected all of them.
Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing each wore one around their necks, so they could pick it up at any time to observe the distance.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also each had one, but they didn’t wear it around their necks, instead hung it around their waists.
Jiang Yue put the other binoculars in her s.p.a.ce. She could give them to the children at home later so that they could play with it.
Actually, the binoculars in the base could see farther and clearer. However, they had not found the base yet, so they could only use this for the time being. It was better than nothing.
After two and a half days of repair, Shao Shuting took off his gloves and patted the body with one hand. “Jiang Yue, you can give it a try.”
That was when Xue Yan found out that Jiang Yue knew how to fly a helicopter.
Jiang Yue did not know how to fix one, but she did know how to drive. She could even pilot a fighter jet. It was just that they were destroyed by zombies in the early years, and there were only a few fighter jets left in the post-apocalyptic world. It was probably even less now.
Jiang Yue climbed onto the helicopter that Shao Shuting said had been repaired. Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing both stepped back, and Xue Yan also stepped back to stay away from the helicopter.
Jiang Yue sat in the driver’s seat and fastened her seatbelt before starting to drive.
It worked!
Then, Jiang Yue waved her hand, signaling Xue Yan, Shao Shuting, and Huo Wenqing to board the helicopter.
As the helicopter’s rotating blades created a particularly loud noise, Xue Yan and the others might not be able to hear her if she shouted.
Xue Yan, Shao Shuting, and Huo Wenqing also boarded the helicopter.
Xue Yan sat in the front pa.s.senger seat while Shao Shuting and Huo Wenqing sat in the back.
Xue Yan followed suit and fastened his seatbelt like the other two.
