[Bless you Oonie I’ve been sitting on this for two days now]
There is, there are some trees you can delve under or perhaps go off the road. You know this: the helicopter cannot go below the trees, for the trees are close by and would hurt the chopper’s blades.
Don’t think that a raptor would be able to throw something at an helicopter. Honestly I don’t think a raptor would be able to throw pretty much anything a significant distance. Also it wouldn’t be a good idea to expose ourselves and probably get shot.
We go off-road, going onto the forest foliage to get the helicopter away from us. Bill seems to know his stuff, driving carefully along the forest brush and ensuring that none of it snags the car. However, one thing we did not account for: the heat of the bullets. Suddenly, as some of the machine gun bullets hit the forest ground, the light into flame, burning some of the underbrush as we drive quickly away.
The helicopter seems to stop following us in that moment, turning away and allowing us to drive further into the forest. Eventually, we come to a bit of a stop, with Bill taking a few breaths. He looks more stressed than before.
How big are the flames getting, and how far are we in comparison? Depending on how Bill’s feeling, we could use a minute to plan the next move if possible.
“Yeah,” he says. “Doesn’t feel right knowing someone was looking for us. They must have known we were going down the roads. Thankfully, we should not be far from the other settlement. Should we continue driving?”
(new to this thing, so make sure to tell me if this is certified s t u p i d)
I would say that we keep driving at a steady pace until we reach the end of the forest, at which point we stop the vehicle far enough away from the forest’s end so that we couldn’t be seen by anyone above, and we go ahead and make sure the helicopter is gone before we continue.
Here’s a dumb idea: let’s continue in the direction of our destination, but before we clear the brush, rig the car to drive off in another direction in case the chopper is still patrolling from above.
