Chapter 168: Ascension
Occasionally, an airplane would pass in the sky, but it was only a small fixed-wing aircraft, not a helicopter, let alone a police helicopter equipped with thermal imaging.
Crescent City is a very small city, and law and order has always been quite good, so Crescent City will definitely not have police helicopters equipped with thermal imaging, because there is no such demand, big cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco do, but San Francisco is far away from Crescent City, even if the police in San Francisco urgently support Crescent City, it will take a long time to reach Crescent City.
It's also useless to send the planes of the Air Force National Guard, because what can the planes of the National Guard do?
First of all, whether it is the Air Force or the National Guard, the needs of this kind of military aircraft are completely different from those used by the police, so even if the planes of the Air Force National Guard are dispatched, relying on visual search, how can they find scattered prisoners in the vast forest.
Just like Yang Yi said to the prison warden, no matter what, the California Mansion and Crescent City, as well as any forces that can be mobilized in a short period of time, must first ensure that most of the prisoners who went to Crescent City will be returned, this is not a conspiracy, nor is it a conspiracy, it is just a fact.
And Yang Yi saw this fact, and he knew how things would go, so he was not afraid.
It's just that I'm just a little annoyed by waiting.
Pelican Bay Prison is north of Crescent City, surrounded by forests, and not far north is a small town called Fort Dick, which can be said to be a residential area not far from the prison, and if a large number of prisoners pour in, the consequences are really unimaginable.
But Yang Yi is not worried that the prisoners will enter Fort Dick, the reason is very simple, because most of the residents living in Fort Dick are prison guards and their families, and the prisoners may want to take revenge on the prison guards, but in a town where every family has guns and most of them are prison guards, and in a town where the prison will be warned immediately after the prison is out of control, the prisoners rushing over are no different from being in the prison, not looking for death.
Therefore, the north cannot be reached, and the prisoners can only go south, along the road to Crescent City, or enter the forest and go west, through the forest is a road, there are no inhabitants at all, and it is okay to go north and south along the road, or cross the road and further west, there is a large area of mountains and forests.
To the east, there is also a forest, but the forest area to the east is not very large, and after passing through the forest, there is farmland, and beyond the farmland you reach the coast.
Yang Yi: They took the road to the west.
There was a large-scale escape from the prison, and all the residents within a few dozen miles of the prison were warned and notified, and they were soon evacuated, or some people were unwilling to evacuate and were willing to stay at home to protect their property, and such families could not go, because the families who dared to make this decision must have guns and dared to use their hands.
Moreover, the prisoners did not rush into the houses to plunder, and they were in a hurry to flee now, rather than staying in place and nearby waiting to be captured.
So Yang Yi and the others didn't pass by the house, but the house they passed was either empty and empty, or it was closed for shelter, and there was an owner with a gun guarding it, in this case, of course, it was right to leave quickly.
Yang Yi and the others did not go deep into the forest, but hid in the forest not far from the highway, which is already seven or eight kilometers away from the prison, and the patrol police cars can often be seen on the road.
"We have to go, it's been a long time now, whether it's the army or the police, there will definitely be a large-scale search operation, we can't be here for more than three hours, it's too dangerous."
Chris couldn't help but start to persuade Yang Yi, Brian didn't look at Chris, still staring intently at the road passing through the forest, but Yang Yi had to calm Chris's emotions.
"Don't worry, we have to wait for someone to pick us up, if we can go anywhere, even if we escape deeper into the forest, we don't have to be found by the police in the end, or worse, we may be killed."
After patiently explaining, Yang Yi said in a low voice: "Don't worry, someone will definitely come to pick us up." ”
Yang Yi said very surely, but he was not as sure as he seemed in his heart, because he had already paid the money, and Raymond also said that he would come to pick him up, but he still didn't believe it after waiting for hours, how could he not be apprehensive in his heart.
While he was talking, Yang Yi made another call, but he still couldn't get through as before.
Hank couldn't help but say, "Could it be that the place is wrong?" ”
"No way, there are obvious landmarks and street signs, he can't be misplaced."
At this moment, the phone that Yang Yi had just hung up suddenly rang, he immediately connected the phone, and then heard Raymond say urgently: "I'll go to the agreed place immediately, you guys come out quickly!" Fast! Fast! ”
Yang Yi stood up and said with a happy face: "Here, let's go out, but I didn't see the car." ”
Brian looked up, looked at the sky, and said, "That's a helicopter." ”
Yang Yi immediately said on the phone: "Is it a helicopter?" ”
Raymond said urgently: "Yes! Helicopters, the roads are blocked, cars can't get in at all, now there are no police cars underneath, the army is coming soon, you have to hurry. ”
Yang Yi was already moving when he spoke, and they were not far from the highway, at most it was nearly a hundred meters, without Raymond's urging, Yang Yi and the others had already come out of the grass where they were hiding, and began to run to the road with the immobile Rodriguez.
Even when they ran to the road, the helicopter began to descend, and before Yang Yi could wave his hand, a blue helicopter landed on the road.
The hatch opened from the inside, and Raymond, who was wearing a headset, only waved in a hurry, the rotors of the helicopter did not stop, and the wind was so strong that he couldn't hear anything at all, and could only wave.
The wind blew and couldn't open their eyes, Yang Yi and the others bent down and threw the seriously injured Rodriguez onto the helicopter, and then several people quickly boarded the real helicopter in turn, and the helicopter quickly lifted off without waiting for the hatch to be completely closed, and then immediately began to fly towards the depths of the forest.
The hatch closed, Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly to Raymond, "Where are we going now?" ”
Raymond shook his head and said, "We can't go anywhere, just go in the air here, we are volunteers, and this helicopter is a volunteer to search for prisoners, so either wait for the order to return, or there is a mechanical failure, or the prisoners are found, or we run out of fuel, otherwise we must stay in this airspace." ”
