Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1616: Take a Different Path

Chapter 1616: Chapter 1616: Take a Different Path frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

Gu Fan thought that if he lived forever for a hundred years, watching important friends, beloved family members, and so on leave one by one, he would probably suffer and feel lonely.

In the following years, he made new friends, gained a new family, and then as time changed, the new friends and family also left him.

After such repetitions, he might really become numb to any emotional attachment and no longer hold onto anything.

Gu Fan didn’t believe that in just a short twenty years, he would become as indifferent to everything around him as the big boss, there must be a problem.

Perhaps the mysterious masked man had experienced something that Gu Xiaojin, Lu Yi, and Su Hui did not know about.

As time ticked by, the people sent out finally brought back some good news; they had found the helicopter’s landing site, but the place was heavily guarded and not easy to take down.

Hearing this, Gu Fan’s brow furrowed. He originally thought that the enemy might neglect the airport’s defenses while deploying forces at every city exit, but apparently not.

With the ground route and the airport both difficult to approach, and unable to stay here long, was it time to consider an underground tunnel?

What to do? Everyone looked at Gu Fan with hopeful eyes, expecting him to come up with a good plan since, after all, Gu Fan was on the same level as the arch-villain.

Gu Fan kept examining the map, pondering ways to acquire a helicopter without alerting the enemy and then brazenly make their escape through the air.

"I mean you guys call yourselves a resistance force, don’t you have even one helicopter?" Gu Fan couldn’t think of a solution and could only scratch his head in frustration.

Lu Yi just gave a wry laugh: "We’ve tried our best. Managing to get some weapons and ample ammunition is already quite amazing. Don’t set your expectations too high for us. As for helicopters, apart from the ones used in combat, snatching others would be pointless."

"Wait a second?" Gu Fan suddenly looked astonished, as if he had thought of something.

Lu Yi and Leng Feng were taken aback and quickly held their breaths to avoid disturbing Gu Fan’s train of thought.

Revisiting the map, Gu Fan then said, "Help me check who else in the city, aside from the enemy, has helicopters, like TV stations, for example."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi and Leng Feng immediately realized—right, the enemy’s helicopters couldn’t be touched, but other people’s helicopters were a different story.

So they found the TV station’s location on the map and decided it would be their target.

After a brief discussion, they immediately took action. After locking up the people in the restaurant, they drove straight to the TV station.

Although the TV station’s guards were not as strict, still it wasn’t something that could easily be taken down; moreover, if they caused any disturbance, it would draw the enemy’s attention, and their plan to leave by helicopter would be discovered.

Midway to the TV station, Gu Fan had another thought—was it possible for the TV station’s helicopter to always be parked on the helipad on top of the building?

Everyone had a sudden realization that charging towards the TV station might end up being a wild goose chase.

What to do? Once again, all eyes turned to Gu Fan, who himself fell into a dilemma. His mind raced, but he couldn’t come up with a solution in such a short time.

Now they could only gamble with their luck—if they went to the helipad and found the TV station’s helicopter there, they could just take it.

After hearing Gu Fan’s plan, everyone felt that relying on luck was unreliable, but given the circumstances, they truly had to take a gamble.

So they all immediately changed course and headed to the nearest potential helipad, praying fervently in their hearts.

On the way, Leng Feng had a grave look, heavy with thoughts. He glanced at the tense-faced Gu Fan, knowing the immense pressure Gu Fan was under.

Leng Feng then said, "My mother told me about the time you and Su Hui were in a foreign capital, in a strange city, facing all kinds of obstacles, and yet you still managed to escape back here."

"Yes, that caused a lot of chaos, so this time, I want to avoid it," Gu Fan couldn’t help but sigh. The thought of that experience, how a fine city was nearly destroyed because of his arrival.

Lu Yi consoled him, "You shouldn’t feel guilty. If you knew what that mysterious masked man has done, you’d realize you’re much better than him."

Hearing this, Gu Fan could only smile wryly; what kind of consolation was this?

After an hour’s drive, they finally arrived at a remote helipad. They were indeed lucky to find a helicopter. What’s more crucial was that it was a small helipad, with only about a dozen security guards.

Together, they took action and, before the guards could react, knocked them all out. They didn’t alarm anyone and quickly seized control of the helicopter, hardly believing it could be that easy.

Soon, another issue arose—who had the ability to fly a helicopter? Otherwise, it would just be a decorative piece.

"Ah, an oversight," Gu Fan slapped his forehead, wondering how he could forget such an important link.

Gu Fan had originally planned to attack the enemy’s helipad, seize their helicopter, and incidentally capture one of their pilots.

Now that the plan had changed to attack the TV station’s helipad and seize their helicopter, the problem was that the TV station’s pilots had finished their shifts.

Luckily, Gu Fan thought quickly on his feet, grabbed a guard, and told him to call the pilot, claiming there was a problem with the helicopter that needed his attention, or any believable reason to bring the pilot back.

Having no other choice, the guard found the contact list and called the pilot, informing him that he had left behind some top-secret flight documents that required his urgent attention.

The pilot took it seriously and immediately turned back, only to be taken control of by Gu Fan and his group.

"Who are you people?" The pilot was terrified, trembling, because seeing everyone’s intimidating presence, he knew they were no easy foes.

Leng Feng revealed their identities, hoping the pilot would help, and considering the situation, he had no choice.

With no other option available, the reluctant pilot agreed to their demands and started the helicopter, taking off with Gu Fan, Lu Yi, Leng Feng, and the others aboard.

Since the helipad was on the outskirts of the city, it didn’t take long to leave.

It was night, and as helicopters frequently passed overhead during this period, the enemy troops on the ground did not pay any special attention, focusing instead on inspecting vehicles along the road.

Thus, Gu Fan, Lu Yi, Leng Feng, along with the female team member, successfully left the city. However, their plan was only half completed thus far.
