Chapter 672: Rescue!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Luo Yan’s pupils shrank slightly.
She was extremely nervous, knowing that she might not make it.
The descent became faster and faster. The sound of the wind was whistling past her ears.
The ground below seemed to shrink infinitely and then gradually grew larger... as if she could clearly see the houses below.
Luo Yan couldn’t help but close her eyes. A tear rolled down from the corner of her eye...
Was she going to die?
Did she have any regrets in this life?
She had done this for the sake of the women of Country A. Even if she died, she knew that the Princess would still lead the remaining female soldiers to achieve this goal.
So if there was any regret.
It would be... Yan Zixuan.
On the ground.
After the helicopter took off, an off-road vehicle sped toward them.
Yan Zixuan had arrived!
He jumped out of the car before it came to a stop, looking up at the ascending helicopter.
He had been genuinely busy these days, attending meetings constantly. However, he still tried to come today, using the Princess’s parachute jump as an excuse. He was looking exhausted and disheveled.
But he was still one step too late!
He couldn’t catch up with the helicopter!
Yan Zixuan sighed silently, hoping that nothing would go wrong today.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a panicked voice from a nearby person s earpiece. “What? You said a female soldier’s parachute didn’t open? What’s going on? What about the backup parachute?”
As soon as the other party exclaimed in panic, Yan Zixuan’s heart clenched.
A female soldier’s parachute didn’t open?
He immediately looked toward the sky, trying to identify who it was... hoping it wasn’t the Princess!
And not Luo Yan... not Yu Jing... not...
At this moment, Yan Zixuan realized that he was incredibly nervous.
He had looked down on these female soldiers, but now he found himself genuinely concerned about them, not wanting any harm to come their way.
As he was lost in thought, he rushed to the side of a nearby officer, snatching the walkie-talkie and shouting, “Who couldn’t open it? What about the backup parachute?” “It’s, it’s Soldier Luo Yan. Her parachute didn’t open and neither did the backup. We’re not sure about the details...”
“Luo Yan!” Yan Zixuan’s heart sank, but he remained calm and collected as he shouted into the walkie-talkie, “Luo Yan, can you hear me? If you can hear me, please respond!” Luo Yan, who was in mid-air, felt certain that she was doomed.
There were chaotic voices of students and teachers in her earpiece. The teacher was trembling as he tried to guide her, telling her not to panic and to remain rational. He was teaching her how to open the backup parachute...
But it was no use, no use at all...
The backup parachute was entangled and couldn’t be opened...
When all hope was lost, she heard Yan Zixuan’s voice, and she grabbed her earpiece and shouted, “I’m here.”
Yan Zixuan spoke anxiously, “Don’t panic, stay calm. I’ll tell you how to open the backup parachute...”
At this moment, the man’s voice seemed to fill her with a sense of security.
Luo Yan felt as if she was infused with strength for a moment. She tried to operate the parachute again, attempting to break free, but it was useless. It wouldn’t open, it still wouldn’t open...
Luo Yan’s voice broke into tears. “It won’t open... Yan Zixuan, it won’t open...”
Were these her last moments in life?
If so, she had some things she wanted to say to Yan Zixuan...
Like how she liked him and how grateful she was...
But suddenly, she felt that there was no need to say those things.
What use would it be to say those things if she was going to die?
If she died, she would only hope that Yan Zixuan could live well and someday fall in love with someone else, marrying another woman...
As Luo Yan let her thoughts run wild, she couldn’t help but cry again.
If... if she could miraculously survive today, she would definitely tell Yan Zixuan that she liked him!
Luo Yan turned off her microphone.
She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to hold back her scream at the last moment...
But just at that moment!
A rapidly descending figure approached her and then held her tight!
Time rewound to twenty seconds earlier.
On the helicopter.
When Luo Yan’s parachute failed to open, the teacher on the plane immediately noticed something wrong!
He exclaimed, “Oh no, Luo Yan’s parachute didn’t open! She needs the backup parachute!” A second later, he cried out again, “Oh no, the backup parachute didn’t open either!” “This is terrible! I’ve always said that women shouldn’t be soldiers. Now look at what happened! I’ve said it so many times. Princess, please don’t jump, did you see? When the parachute doesn’t open under stress, it’s dangerous!”
The teacher felt relieved.
He was relieved that it was only Luo Yan—the unloved daughter of the Luo family—who had an accident, and not the Princess!
As the teacher thought of this, he turned his head and saw that Shen Ruojing was no longer in her seat. She was standing at the edge of the helicopter, looking down.
“There’s no time.”
Shen Ruojing spoke.
The teacher nodded. “Yes, yes, there’s no time, and we have no way to rescue her! From such a high altitude, falling into the bushes below would be fatal! So, Princess, you should...”
Before he could finish his sentence, Shen Ruojing looked back. “Check the parachute again, and you all continue!”
After saying this, she jumped without hesitation!
The teacher’s heart leaped out of his chest!
He rushed to the door, feeling panicked. “Princess!!!”
(It’s over, everything is ruined now!)
