Gao Yang and the others waited desperately in the prison, but the helicopter came and went.
Watching the helicopter that came to pick them up narrowly escape being shot down by the Rebel Army's anti-aircraft missiles, Gao Yang knew they were not getting out.
No matter how high or fast the helicopter flew, it could not escape the range of the anti-aircraft missiles. Moreover, as it began to descend over the prison, it would still be under the barrage of numerous anti-aircraft guns.
The Rebel Army fired three anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down that helicopter. Just by observing the intensity of the gunfire the helicopter encountered, Gao Yang knew they could not count on the helicopter to extricate them.
Even if the helicopter dared to come in, and indeed it did come, Gao Yang didn't dare to leave in it. He'd rather stay in the prison than experience the feeling of completely entrusting his life to the pilot.
