CHAPTER 503: CHAPTER 503: FAKING IT TOO WELL

Laoshan Yangkou Scenic Area.

Compared to Taiqing Scenic Area, which has a yacht dock for tourists to take a yacht tour around attractions like the Fishing Platform and Eight Immortals Platform, Yangkou Scenic Area has a helicopter landing spot for tourists to enjoy a low-altitude flight tour.

At a reasonable price, coupled with the fact that helicopter rides are rare in the country, many tourists opt for a ride.

In theory, this type of sightseeing helicopter, with its simple structure and low flight altitude, should easily land in case of any malfunction, so accidents are unlikely.

Yet, an accident happened.

It happened right in front of Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, and fortunately, it was in front of them.

The helicopter was spinning, veering off course, rapidly descending from the sky towards Lu Zheng.

Both Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, keen-eyed, could see the pilot grimacing, desperately trying to control the helicopter, while inside were two adults and two children, tourists with faces full of terror and hopeless screams.

A portion of the surrounding tourists, having lived peacefully for too long, were stunned, just standing there dumbfounded, unaware of how to dodge.

The other portion shouted and scattered, looking for obstacles to shield themselves from flying debris.

Lin Wan narrowed her eyes, her Blood Qi surged intensely as she prepared to rescue.

Though she didn’t want to reveal herself like this, with four lives before her, she couldn’t just stand by and watch.

Lu Zheng reached out and grabbed Lin Wan’s arm, smiling slightly, "No worries, watch me."

He formed a seal with his fingers, True Qi surged out, activating the Transportation Technique.

In an unseen domain, a force was exerted on the helicopter, simultaneously protecting the five people inside.

Holding Lin Wan with one hand, Lu Zheng jumped back and found a large tree to hide behind.

In the next moment, the tourists who were just stunned began to react, yelling and scattering, and within a few breaths, the helicopter was spinning towards the ground.

However...

Instead of the imagined scene of crashing to the ground and instantly exploding into flames like a movie, the helicopter began to spin and slide.

Rubbing and bumping along the ground, the helicopter’s skid landing gear flew apart, while the tail rotor and rotors shattered from colliding with surrounding trees.

Helicopter debris flew everywhere, and the surrounding crowd kept exclaiming.

Only, it seemed there were only exclamations, no cries of pain?

The helicopter slid until only the fuselage remained, finally stopping after crashing into a spot beneath some steps.

Rumble... clatter...

It happened to stop right in front, with the helicopter door facing the steps.

Lu Zheng released the Transportation Technique and Golden Light Curse, snapped his fingers, "Done!"

Lin Wan’s eyes sparkled as she looked around, noticing helicopter debris scattered on trees, cliffs, houses, and the ground, but none hitting tourists.

"Amazing, are the people inside the helicopter okay too?" Lin Wan exclaimed.

Lu Zheng shrugged, "No problems, and they were all wearing seat belts, at most there might be a slight bruise from bumping into the door. If there’s none, that’d be too fake."

Lin Wan chuckled, "Yes, yes, that’s plausible, let’s go rescue them, probably those inside are terrified."

Lu Zheng nodded. By now, the helicopter had stopped; some were worried about explosions and didn’t dare get close, but others were rushing over.

Smiling slightly, in the face of such disaster-like dangers, you can always trust the kindness and courage of ordinary people.

"Go!"

"Let’s move!"

Coincidentally, the helicopter door, loosened during sliding, was pulled gently and fell off with a "bang."

"Quickly!"

"Get out! Lift them out, take it slow!"

"Speed up, watch out for explosions!"

"No one stuck in there, right?"

"Wow, you can walk on your own? Dude, you’re quite lucky!"

"Be careful, try not to move too much, what if there’s internal injury?"

"The emergency call has been made, a police station representative has arrived, and ambulances are on the way."

"Quickly, get the kids out first!"

"Everybody stay back!"

The pilot and the family of four were all helped out, everyone stayed away from the helicopter, found shelter, laid the injured down, and finally relaxed, either standing or sitting, starting to chat.

Lu Zheng and Lin Wan mingled among the hundreds, listening to everyone proudly boasting, which was quite entertaining.

"This helicopter has great quality; you all survived despite such a crash."

"I must’ve pulled it in the end, making the helicopter land at an angle, reducing the impact force to the maximum," the pilot pondered.

All were nearly uninjured; he was surprised too, but it seemed the only plausible explanation, as he did indeed try his best.

"Dude, impressive, did you fly fighter jets before?"

"No, but I used to be in the Army Aviation," the pilot proudly replied, "flew armed helicopters."

"Awesome!"

"Impressive!"

"Bro! You saved your own and four other lives, shouldn’t you get a first-class honor?"

The pilot regrettably said, "Bro, I’m already retired."

After a couple of chats, police and ambulances arrived together; everyone helped the injured into the vehicles, and then gradually dispersed, with many taking selfies with the helicopter wreckage, promptly sharing on social media!

On the other side, the police cordoned off the accident site, deploying professionals to handle the helicopter wreckage.

As for Lu Zheng and Lin Wan, they were already on a tourist shuttle, heading back.

On the bus, everyone was discussing the helicopter accident; such an event might not be encountered once in a lifetime, so why not chat while the excitement lasts?

"Nicely done!" Lin Wan whispered.

Lu Zheng had faked it quite realistically this time, even loosening the cabin door, saving Lin Wan from playing Divine Power Woman again, avoiding causing additional surprise on-site and online.

"Reward?" Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow.

Lin Wan winked playfully, "For you!"

The two tacitly agreed on the payment, then joined the chatting group.

...

Leaving Laoshan, they returned to Dao City, had a meal at the airport, and took the 7 PM flight back to Hai City.

Upon landing in Hai City, Lin Wan posted to social media, coincidentally catching Xiumin after work, so they went for a late-night snack together.

The two women chatted about recent events, upon learning that Xiumin was on a blind date, Lin Wan seriously encouraged her, then before her eyes, wandered home with Lu Zheng in an embrace.

It spurred Xiumin while also stirring Lu Zheng, prompting him to demand the reward they discussed on the bus be doubled.
