This is the normal time for an 800-meter armed parachute descent.
Half of the time had passed, but Lu Xiangdong's main parachute and backup parachute still showed no sign of opening.
Lu Xiangdong couldn't understand what the failure of his parachute bag meant. But what followed was a heartbreaking and terrifying reality that almost made him faint...
Gong Xue...
The dark shadow that had been following him turned out to be Gong Xue.
She didn't even open her parachute bag, but used the turbulence to skillfully approach him. At the same time, she kept shouting something to him. Seeing that he couldn't hear him, she made a gesture and suddenly threw a rope from the air.
..
During the rapid fall, there were too many variables. The rope slipped past his hand several times, and under the influence of turbulence, Gong Xue gradually moved away.
The two of them were still falling rapidly, and they saw that they had exceeded the 400-meter limit.
Lu Xiangdong was really anxious, and shouted in the biting wind at high altitude: "Leave me alone, pull the umbrella ring... to save your life----------"
There are still a few seconds before she lands. If she doesn't open the umbrella yet, the result can only be... shattered to pieces...
Unexpectedly, there is someone more stubborn and unafraid of death than him.
Gong Xue actually approached Lu Xiangdong again when he was 0 meters above the ground.
This time, she didn't make any gestures, she just persistently dropped the rope to him, over and over again...
The moment Lu Xiangdong touched the rope, he clearly saw the crowd on the ground moving towards the landing area like ants quickly.
In Gao Lie's eyes, there were only two black spots falling from high in the sky, and nothing else could be seen or heard.
When Lu Xiangdong and Gong Xue were struggling to survive on the edge of death, he was also counting the seconds silently while running rapidly.
10,9,8,7,6....
When the count reached 6, Gao Lie was almost desperate.
There is no hope.
There is really no hope...
He ran forward completely numbly and mechanically, his heart was constantly sinking, and his eyes were filled with moisture involuntarily...
Sudden..
Someone shouted: "It's open--the umbrella is open----------"
Huo Ran opened his eyes and saw the life-saving umbrella pull up two rapidly falling black spots, and then hovered in the air for a long time before falling to the predetermined area. Only then did Gao Lie feel that his heart, which had been silent and desperate, started beating wildly again.
..
Lu Xiangdong was pulled by the rope and after getting out of danger, he immediately opened the ring of Gong Xue's main umbrella.
He reminded Gong Xue loudly: "Learn what I do!"
He unfolded his body into a reverse arch shape to prevent the paracord from catching his hands and feet. Then he asked Gong Xue to tighten his knees, ankles and toes like him. After 10 seconds, they landed steadily on a soft muddy ground.
Gong Xue fell to the ground with a thud, her pale face in stark contrast to the black-gray mud.
The moment she set foot on the ground, Gong Xue truly felt what it was like to go from life to death, and from death to life again.
Gong Xue looked at Lu Xiangdong who calmly took off the strap system and came to pull her and said: "Lu Tuan, I regret saving you..."
"Oh?" Lu Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and helped her get rid of the burden on her body, "I think you were not afraid of death when you were in the sky."
Gong Xue grinned. At first she just wanted to smile, but later, she couldn't help but grinned and burst into laughter...
Lu Xiangdong's always heavy mood was gradually illuminated by that bright and satisfied smile.
When Gao Lie rushed to the muddy ground, what he saw was the scene of a brother and sister in distress looking at each other and smiling.
They didn't look like people who had just escaped from the brink of death. Instead, they looked like they had made an appointment with friends to enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature.
Except for the mud and water on the body and the umbrella cloth scattered on the ground, which proves that something terrible happened here, there is no other trace at all.
When Gong Xue saw Gao Lie, the expression on her face was unexpectedly calm.
She neither acted flustered nor turned around and left. Instead, she looked directly at him and greeted him proactively: "Hello, Captain Gao."
Hello, Captain Gao.
He was quite good. Seeing that after she experienced death, she could still breathe, speak, and look at him quietly with her eyes as black as midnight, he felt that nothing could be better than now.
That's it..
Gao Lie nodded, "Hello."
Lu Xiangdong suddenly touched his nose and smiled. He pretended not to notice anything, and while packing up his umbrella, he said to the two people who were standing speechless: "Come and help-------"
Then the rescue team arrived.
The scene was noisy, especially after Tian Haifang joined in, the scene became even more sensational to the point that even Lu Xiangdong wanted to vomit.
Everyone, including Gao Lie, believed that Lu Xiangdong stayed calm in the face of danger and saved Gong Xue's life.
Just when the crowd was excited and wished they could have a live broadcast report, Lu Xiangdong rubbed his sore eyebrows, then suddenly grabbed Tian Haifang's collar and shouted: "I am not a hero!! The one who saved people is Gong Xue -
-------It was her delay in opening the parachute that saved me-----------"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
Not even the wind can reach this muddy place...
Tian Haifang stared at Lu Xiangdong in disbelief, his mouth still wide open. After uttering a few syllables, he suddenly closed his mouth and looked back and forth to find Gong Xue's figure.
Gao Lie pointed to the slim and graceful figure in the distance with complicated eyes, "He's gone."
She will leave, proving that she is still the girl who can choke, drink, and fall in love by staring into his eyes when she is emotional...
An open-minded Gong Xue who doesn't care about fame, wealth, money and power, gains and losses...
Every time they meet, she seems to be able to bring him endless surprises and surprises.
What kind of surprises will be waiting for him next?
After investigation, it was found that the cause of the parachute accident was that the bayonet slot of Lu Xiangdong's submachine gun hooked two parachute bags under the impact of turbulence, which ultimately caused the parachute to fail to open smoothly.
According to experts, this dangerous situation was the most thrilling in the parachute training at the military airport in the past 40 years. Their ability to save their lives was inseparable from Gong Xue’s proper rescue in case of danger, and even more so from the correct guidance of the experienced Lu Xiangdong.
, minimizing the pressure of body weight on the umbrella. In the end, they were more or less lucky, and the soft mud successfully cushioned most of the damage when they landed, so they were able to return to the ground unscathed.
.
Gong Xue, who was successful in saving people, was awarded the second-class merit award by her superiors.
After the parachute training, Gong Xue became a celebrity in the training squadron and even the entire hero group, and because of her heroic feat of saving people, Lu Xiangdong invited her to his home for dinner.
