Chapter: 2813

"And on another hand, it's also because these several kidnapped American young people don't have any background or connections to US politicians or wealthy families. The Americans are trying to downplay the situation at home and are simultaneously ordering major European media outlets not to follow up with further reporting."

"This way, even if the opposition really kills those eight people, the American public won't hear anything about it."

As he spoke, Han Guangyao also lamented: "And to make things worse, the situation in Syria is particularly chaotic right now. Not only are government forces and opposition groups fighting each other, but the Kurdish armed group is also involved."

"Behind this situation, the camp is even more complicated. The US, Russia, Iran, and Turkey are all pulling strings from behind the scenes, which leads to continuous armed conflicts within Syria. On either side, anyone who starts a fight will be in a state of killing with red eyes, leaving no room for maneuvering. The American embassy has already warned Americans not to go to Syria. These eight young people know they're taking a risk and should have known better."

Han Guangyao nodded solemnly and asked, "Has the skydiving instructor arrived?"

"Arrived," he replied. "The instructor is fine-tuning his parachute pack and equipment on the plane. I'll take you up to meet him. Oh, by the way, our plane will take off in 15 minutes!"

When Li Chen boarded the plane, Han Guangyao pointed to a white man checking the parachute pack and said, "Young master, this is Vasili from Russia, who was previously a skydiving instructor with 20 years of experience. He's an expert in high-altitude free-fall jumping."

The Russian man named Vasili stood up, bowed to Li Chen, and greeted him in broken Chinese, saying, "Good day, young master! This time, I'll be acting as your temporary skydiving instructor. If you feel uncertain, I can take you with me when the time comes."

Li Chen nodded, asking, "If I were to jump on my own, what would I need to pay attention to?"

Vasili explained, "When we approach our destination, I'll choose a suitable jumping spot based on the surrounding altitude, air flow, wind speed. If you decide to jump on your own, make sure to jump out at the moment I say so."

He handed Li Chen a professional watch and introduced it as, "This watch can real-time monitor your altitude, temperature, body temperature, heart rate, and GPS location. After jumping, spread out your limbs to stabilize your descent speed while keeping your direction steady. At that time, I'll use your GPS coordinates to guide you remotely, telling you how to control your limbs and direct yourself, ensuring the best possible landing."

Another thing, I've already set up a deployment reminder in this watch. If you reach the designated altitude for deployment, the watch will vibrate and produce an audible warning, at which time you can directly pull the main parachute's release handle to open the parachute.

Li Chen took the watch and put it on his wrist, while Vasili picked up a prepared parachute package and pointed to the bottom's pulling ring, introducing it as: "This is the deployment line. Once you reach the altitude, you must deploy the parachute within 20 seconds, or else there may be life-threatening risks."

He then pointed to the right side of the parachute package, explaining: "This is a cut-off switch. If your parachute doesn't open or gets tangled in mid-air, use this to release it, and then immediately open the backup parachute on your left."

Li Chen nodded, saying: "Alright, I've got it. First, deploy the main parachute, and if anything unexpected happens, cut off the main parachute and then deploy the backup one."

"Exactly," Vasili said seriously: "If you don't need me to accompany you while jumping, I'll monitor your status in real-time and guide you through each step from a distance."

Li Chen smiled slightly: "Good, I've never jumped with a parachute before, but with your guidance, it should be much smoother."

Vasili nodded and patted his chest, saying: "Don't worry, Li Chen. Once the time comes, I'll do my best to provide you with all-around remote guidance!"

Just then, Huang Guangyao spoke up: "The plane is ready to take off at any moment."

Li Chen asked him: "How long will the flight take?"

Huang Guangyao replied: "The straight-line distance is only about 100 kilometers. The plane can take off in five minutes and reach our destination within 15-20 minutes after that."

Alright," Li Chen nodded calmly, saying: "Then let's prepare for takeoff!"

"Alright, young master!"

Huang Guangyao walked into the cockpit and gave a few instructions before the plane's engines roared to life. The aircraft slowly moved out of the hangar and then accelerated all the way down the runway before finally taking off and soaring towards Syria.

After entering Syrian airspace, Huang Guangyao opened up a map of the western region of Syria on his tablet computer and told Li Chen: "Young master, it's cloudy today, and although visibility is low, it's still relatively easy to spot someone skydiving in broad daylight. So this time, we've pre-arranged the landing site here." JrNovels.com
