Chapter 7 Temporary escape
Liu Yun landed not far from Santa Monica Airport, but this short road gave him a sense of déjà vu of love (GTA) and Need for Speed.
Liu Yun's driving skills are not very good. He usually drives in the city at most. During holidays, he occasionally takes his parents to attractions near the city.
The reason why Liu Yun was able to stand out from the chaotic streets of Los Angeles was because he performed well under the strong threat of his life.
Without being pushed to the limit, humans will not know how much potential it contains in their bodies.
Liu Yun originally thought that he would be frightened when encountering a major incident.
But after real experience of his own, he found himself unexpectedly calm.
The calmness here does not mean that Liu Yun can look at the disasters that are close to him, but that he will not panic when he is extremely nervous and can still maintain a clear logical thinking.
This is the so-called big heart, which is also a special talent. Not everyone can face it so calmly when encountering the threat of life that follows one after another.
Santa Monica Airport is not an international airport and is not large in scale. There are many small private jets parked around the airport, most of which are single-engine or double-engine engines.
After finally driving the car to the airport runway, Liu Yun took a breath, and the Land Rover SUV, which had suffered a lot of injuries on the road, finally died.
"Bang!"
He kicked open the inwardly sunken door, and Liu Yun jumped out of the cab with quick hands and feet.
Santa Monica Airport is located in a relatively remote place, and the main earthquake in the urban area has not yet fully affected here, and the earthquake amplitude is relatively small.
Most of the staff in the airport have fled, and a small number of unlucky guys happened to be indoors when the earthquake occurred and were hit by objects falling from high places, injured and dead.
Liu Yun was acting alone and had relatively high efficiency. At this time, Jackson's "scented" sedan that had been specially taken care of by the manure sucking truck had not yet arrived at the airport.
I checked the remaining small aircraft in the airport, most of which were locked, and I didn’t know where the key was thrown during the earthquake.
There was only a bearded airport employee who was holding the plane key tightly in his hands and fell to the ground, his heartbeat no longer.
Next to him was a small twin-engine aircraft, and the oil pipe that refueled the aircraft fell aside.
"Is this? Damn it! No matter how many of him."
Liu Yun was too lazy to identify whether the plane was the one used by Jackson and others in the plot. He bent down and took out the key from the driver's hand, and picked up the oil gun nozzle.
"Go away!"
Insert the muzzle into the already opened airplane fuel port, and operate the refueling machine to automatically fill the plane with fuel.
Before Jackson and others arrived, Liu Yun looked up and found a small supermarket next to the airport runway that had already been empty.
There is no need to break into the door, jump into the window that has been broken for a long time in the supermarket, and strode to the cash register at the counter.
"Wow!"
When Liu Yun violently opened the cash register drawer, his eyes lit up immediately.
"I have it! Although not many, I don't have the conditions to be picky now."
Take out all the US dollar coins in the cash register and stuff them into the pocket of the jacket and lock them with a zipper.
At this moment, an unrecognizable extended car engine drove into the airport with smoke and docked next to the small plane refueling.
A middle-aged man in formal attire opened the useless door and got out of the car. He was stunned when he saw the airport staff member who died with fear of his eyes.
"You're finally here."
Liu Yun looked at the serious middle-aged man in formal wear and his face looked a little bad.
Walking out of the supermarket with big strides, Liu Yun gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "The best-selling science fiction writer?"
Jackson Curtis was stunned and looked at the Asian man in front of him with a somewhat surprised expression.
Thanks to the family's excellent heritage, Liu Yun is 1.88 meters tall. Since he insists on going to the swimming pool for exercise 3-4 times a week, he has a strong figure.
Even from the aesthetic perspective of Westerners, Liu Yun can be considered tall and handsome.
His handsomeness is not as feminine as the popular "brother", "beautiful man" and "young man" but full of masculinity.
Jackson could probably guess that the young Asian man in front of him was a member of the mysterious chat group, but he could not determine the other party's specific identity.
"Who are you?"
Liu Yun spit out two Chinese words with a dark face: "Liuyun."
Jackson immediately realized: "Oh~oh! You are the group leader!"
"I learned a little Chinese when I was searching for information. The two words in your name represent cloud. The Chinese is too difficult to pronounce, so I will call you Claude."
Liu Yun nodded without comment: "It's up to you, the name is just a code name, let's talk about the serious business."
"Your wish and task is not clear, leaving only the word "help" behind. Your goal is..."
"Hey!"
Another middle-aged man wearing glasses and gentle and gentle rushing to the two of them at this moment.
"Jackson, who is this? What are you doing? It's time for us to leave!"
Liu Yun and Jackson looked at each other and temporarily pressed the topic in a tacit way.
Jackson said to the new man in distress: "Gordon, this is my friend Cloud, the driver I was looking for is dead."
Gordon stared at the bearded man on the ground with wide eyes: "What?! Then how can we leave?"
A beautiful woman with a charming charm led her two children to the topic: "Gordon! Come and drive! You have learned to fly a plane."
"No, no!"
Gordon waved his hand quickly: "I can't do it. I have only taken a few classes on single-engine aircraft, this aircraft..."
"Stop fighting, we don't have time to waste."
Liu Yun put the keys on Gordon's confused face: "Among us, you are the only one who has ever been in contact with planes. If you don't drive, who will drive? Go, I'll take good care of you."
With the push and encouragement of Liu Yun and Jackson, Gordon reluctantly boarded the plane and came to the cab.
He wanted to read the instructions on the spot when he was cramming, but the diffuse main shock did not give him enough time to study.
Jackson's ex-wife Kate stayed in the middle of the cabin to take care of two frightened children, while the three older men were crowded in front of the bridge, and Jackson and Liu Yun were urging Gordon to take off.
"Okay, don't worry about so many, fly up first!"
Liu Yun roughly pulled the throttle joystick forward, and the plane finally started to move.
"Hey!" Gordon glared at Liu Yun, who was making a move, in anger: "What are you doing? The temperature and air pressure are not yet..."
Liu Yun had a serious expression and stretched out his thumb and pointed behind him: "If we don't leave, we will die here. We don't have time to study it slowly."
"Come on, take over, and hand the plane over to you."
After confirming that the plane took off smoothly, Liu Yun handed over control to Gordon.
Although Gordon had never actually operated a plane, at least he had some theoretical knowledge and was at least reliable than Jackson and Liu Yun.
"ha……"
Temporarily getting rid of the threat of life, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, feeling quite a sense of glory for surviving the disaster.
The entire West Coast disintegrated and sunk in an earthquake of magnitude 10.9, and it is not easy to survive in such a desperate situation.
Jackson and Kate looked down through the side window with lingering fear. Including Santa Monica Airport, Santa Monica was completely swallowed by the sea, and there was basically no survivors.
Kate's face turned a little blue, and he hugged the two frightened children tightly, looking at his ex-husband with gratitude.
"Jackson, how did you know that disaster will reach such devastating point, what's the next plan?"
"plan……"
Jackson hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "We are afraid we will go to Yellowstone Park, I..."
"No, don't waste your time in Wyoming."
Liu Yun interrupted the conversation between the two and gave Jackson a wink without a trace.
"I know where the factories where governments secretly built the ark."
Jackson was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then hurriedly asked, "Where is it?!"
Liu Yun said calmly: "Huaxia, snowy area, Zhuoming Valley under the Himalayas."
Turning his head and looking out the window, Liu Yun sighed: "It is impossible for this small plane to cross the Pacific Ocean alone. We need to go to the nearby airport to change to a large aircraft with strong endurance."
Gordon interjected and suggested: "I suggest going to Las Vegas, the casino in Nevada next door, and we should be able to find the big plane you want at McAllen International Airport."
Liu Yun shrugged: "What are you waiting for? Let's go."
