YM778.TV Chapter 1344: 1341
“Get the helicopter quickly!”
As the highest commander of the Ocean City Battalion, he had to be the first to arrive at the scene.
And a helicopter would definitely be much faster than a car!
At the moment, the plane wreckage was engulfed in thick smoke, but with the fire extinguishing efforts of dozens of water hoses, there was no longer a possibility of an explosion.
“Rescue team, go!”
Following one person’s command, soon, hundreds of rescue personnel dressed in orange charged toward the inside of the cabin.
Although…
They knew it was unlikely anyone had survived, but they still needed to find out for certain whether there were any dead or alive.
And at this moment, the eyes of some rescue personnel were already moist with tears.
Actually…
They were all army veterans.
Any worthy soldier could not forget who Oliver Walker was!
He was the supreme commander of their military!
A person of remarkable achievements, an unparalleled patriot!
“Cough, cough…”
But just as the rescuers reached the cabin door, a violent cough caught the attention of many.
In that instant, their eyes brimmed with hot tears!
This…
It seemed to be the high commander!
And in the next moment, a pair of pitch-black hands extended out from the shattered window!
“Save them!”
Upon seeing there were survivors, the rescue personnel realized the situation inside the cabin was not as desperate as they had imagined.
“No… no need…”
Oliver Walker, his face smeared with soot and his clothes tattered, crawled out from the window, taking deep breaths of the sea-scented wind, “Hurry… go save them!”
If it had been an ordinary person, survival in such an air disaster would have been impossible.
The sheer force of the plane’s nose diving could easily have been thousands of pounds, and that was considering his expert piloting skills.
If it had been an average person at the controls, they could never have reacted fast enough in the final moment of the crash.
However, those inside the plane were all experts, and they should not be so fragile!
So he believed that the girl must still be alive.
“Good… Hurry… Save them!”
At the rescue team leader’s command, hundreds of rescuers rushed into the cabin.
But as he was about to enter, Oliver Walker suddenly grabbed his sleeve and asked, “Do you have a cigarette?”
Surviving such an ordeal, one inevitably feels a lingering sense of terror.
Nobody is unafraid of death!
To speak bluntly, they all have families to care for.
So naturally, after surviving, one would want to smoke a cigarette to calm the nerves!
“Ah…”
The rescue team leader paused, clearly not expecting the high commander to make such a bewildering request under these circumstances.
But he quickly composed himself, “Yes… yes… it’s just not the best quality!”
He rummaged through his pockets as he spoke, pulling out a pack of hard-box Hongtashan cigarettes that cost ten yuan, and then a lighter.
Given his not-so-high salary, this brand of cigarette, for Oliver Walker, must be like chewing on wax, right?
If he had known, he would have bitten the bullet and carried a pack of soft Zhonghua.
Not for anything else, but for the man who, without any image to uphold, sat on the ground, desperately gasping for air—a man who was the faith of all the National Guard soldiers!
“Click!”
Oliver Walker lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, shaking his dizzy head, “What’s the difference, being alive to smoke is a big blessing already.”
“I’m not picky!”
Indeed!
Just being alive was fortunate enough!
Actually…
When was he ever picky in normal times?
The last time he led his troops into the uninhabited areas of Indiana, the environment prevented even helicopters from coming, so their supply line had long been cut.
When out of cigarettes, he, like most of the soldiers, found some dry wild grass in the wasteland, rolled it up in paper, and didn’t it taste just fine?
