Chapter 337: So Xu Mo really can fly a plane?
The next day.
After Xu Mo and Chen Ke woke up, they freshened up simply in the hotel, finished breakfast, and took a car straight to the airport.
Chief Wang had helped them and Han Fei take leave yesterday, so today the two don't need to go to the police station; after landing they can just go home directly.
On the way, Chen Ke was already planning to get a good sleep after returning to Yangcheng later, then have a nice meal in the evening to reward himself for how hard he'd been working.
However, not long after boarding the plane, an accident occurred……
After the plane climbed to sufficient altitude, the fuselage suddenly began to shake violently, and the aircraft's attitude also changed.
Aside from the side-to-side shaking, the key point was that soon the plane began to nose‑down and accelerate in a dive; at this rate it would likely crash in a few minutes.
All the passengers on the plane were stunned by the sight.
What's happening? Is this the prelude to the plane losing control? The plane won't crash, will it?
Thinking of this, everyone started to feel afraid, and the more timid ones even began to cry.
You should know that although the probability of an accident with this kind of transport is low, once an accident occurs, everyone in the cabin is likely to perish.
Falling from ten thousand meters up, it's hard not to die.
Before the passengers could start panicking, the well‑trained flight attendant immediately stood up to explain.
"Don't panic, just fasten your seat belts and stay seated; the plane probably hit some turbulence, it's fine, it'll be okay soon!"
Although she said that, the flight attendant herself had no confidence.
She had flown many times and had basically encountered most emergency situations; she knew exactly what turbulence looks like—bumping is normal, but a nose‑down forty‑five‑degree acceleration dive… that's not normal at all!
Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, her intuition told her the problem was probably serious, so she decided to go find the pilot and ask about the plane's condition.
With the plane in a forty‑five‑degree nose‑down dive, the flight attendant held onto the seats and slowly, with difficulty, approached the cockpit.
Originally she wanted to use the intercom to communicate with the pilot and co‑pilot in the cockpit to ask about the plane's status.
But after speaking for a while, there was no response from inside the cockpit; the flight attendant began to realize how serious the problem was and prepared to open the door and go in.
For safety, the cockpit door on the aircraft remains locked during flight and can be opened only with a code, which only the crew know.
The flight attendant entered the code and prepared to open the door.
But as soon as the lock was opened, before the flight attendant could pull the door, the door sprang open on its own.
A piece of the windshield in the cockpit shattered, and the wind outside rushed in wildly; the cockpit door was also blown open by the wind, and as the cold air from high altitude poured into the plane, the cabin temperature plummeted.
Xu Mo, who was sitting by the aisle, looked curiously toward the cockpit.
The cockpit's windshield was broken, a large amount of cold air was whooshing in, and the pilot and co‑pilot were slumped motionless in their seats.
At high altitude the temperature is extremely low, often minus thirty or forty degrees; after the windshield breaks, the cockpit temperature will also drop to minus thirty or forty degrees, so the pilot and co‑pilot likely passed out from prolonged exposure to the cold.
Seeing the situation before her, the flight attendant widened her eyes and thought, "We're doomed…… "
The pilot and co‑pilot were both frozen unconscious, no one could fly the plane, and in this situation the aircraft would likely crash soon.
Besides Xu Mo, the other passengers on the plane also noticed that the pilot was motionless, looking as if he had fainted.
They also simultaneously realized the seriousness of the problem.
The windshield shattered, cold air flooded the cabin, the pilot and co‑pilot were frozen unconscious—this is definitely a recipe for disaster!
"It's over, we're going to die, we're all going to die…… "
"I don't want to die yet, my wife is waiting for me to come home…… "
"Damn, this is the first time I've ever flown and I run into this kind of thing, fuck!"
"……"
At this moment, all kinds of people were on the plane—some cursed to vent their emotions, some sighed, some sat dumbstruck saying nothing, some took out their phones preparing to call their families, and some simply passed out, not knowing whether it was from high‑altitude hypoxia, freezing, or fright.
Even Chen Ke, who usually has a good mindset, was feeling a bit dazed at this point.
Just a moment ago he was still thinking about going home after landing to get a nice, comfortable sleep.
Now it's all over… no point sleeping, he might as well just die!
Xu Mo recalled that the system had once given him a 'Vehicle Master' reward.
Thanks to that reward, Xu Mo can operate any vehicle—whether it flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water.
Even if they gave him a fighter jet he could fly it, let alone a civilian airliner.
Seeing that if this continued everyone on the plane would perish, Xu Mo unfastened his seat belt, held onto the seatback in the aisle, and walked toward the cockpit against the wind.
At this time, everyone was busy being sad, crying, and making phone calls; no one noticed that Xu Mo had already entered the cockpit.
The plane had been diving for a while, and its distance to a mountain on the ground was only a few kilometers.
"We're done, the plane is going to hit the mountain…… we're all done." Someone had already noticed this through a porthole.
Hearing that, many people broke down directly—was the plane really going to crash?
However, not long after panicking, everyone suddenly realized the plane was no longer flying straight toward that mountain; instead it was gradually climbing upward.
The aircraft's attitude had completely changed—initially it was nose‑down diving, now it was nose‑up climbing; as long as it could keep climbing, it might ultimately avoid hitting the mountain!
"Look! The plane has started flying upward! We're saved!"
"Did the pilot wake up? Great!"
"I was scared to death; I really thought we were doomed just now."
"Thank goodness, thank goodness…… "
At this point, most of the passengers in the cabin thought that the frozen‑out pilot had suddenly woken up and was struggling to control the plane's climb.
Only a few passengers who had noticed the cockpit's condition and the flight attendant standing nearby knew that the person now flying the plane wasn't the pilot at all—he was just a passenger!
Chen Ke also noticed this; everyone was dumbfounded because the back of the person flying the plane was familiar to him—it was Xu Mo!
So, Xu Mo really can fly a plane??
Before, Xu Mo had pretended to be a pilot when applying to the airline company, and he still remembers it clearly.
Chen Ke had always thought Xu Mo couldn't fly a plane, only forge documents; now it seems… his own perspective was too narrow.
Xu Mo's Pilot Credentials might be fake, but Xu Mo can indeed fly an airplane.
That's ridiculous!
Where did he learn all these weird skills?
He couldn't have just learned them from a book, could he?
