Chapter 338: Emergency Landing

More and more people noticed that the plane had begun to gradually ascend at this moment.

For the passengers on board, there is now one piece of good news and one piece of bad news.

The good news is that someone has already entered the cockpit; the originally out-of-control plane is no longer in that state.

The bad news is that the person sitting in the cockpit flying the plane right now is not the pilot but a passenger, and nobody knows whether this person can actually fly the plane or not.

"The person flying the plane doesn't seem to be the pilot…… Who is this person?"

"Who cares who he is; as long as he can fly the plane, that's enough, right?"

"Exactly, who he is doesn't matter; what matters is that he can get us out of danger. He's our lifesaver—once we land safely we must thank him properly."

"That back view looks so familiar—he seems to be Xu Mo from the Sky Eye Operation; he was just sitting in front of me earlier……"

"What!? Xu Mo?? The guy who falsified his pilot credentials?"

"??? What? The plane is being flown by Xu Mo now?"

"……"

The crowd on the plane, which had just thought they were saved, boiled over again.

The name Xu Mo is known to many people, after all the Sky Eye Operation was highly publicized; even those who haven't watched the show have heard the name to some extent.

Xu Mo has many shady tricks; one of them was forging his pilot credentials to 'sit' on a free flight.

As for whether Xu Mo can fly a plane, the answer is most likely—he cannot!

Otherwise, why would he bother forging pilot credentials? Otherwise, why would he trick the co-pilot into flying the whole time while he never touches the controls?

Thinking this, the people who just a second ago felt saved now have their emotions collapse again.

A person who is extremely unlikely to know how to fly a plane is actually flying it—this is undoubtedly a terrifying situation. Although the plane is currently under control, in the long run an uncontrolled crash is inevitable; it's just a matter of time.

Killing with a dull knife is even more agonizing!

……

After a while, people realized they had wrongly blamed Xu Mo; Xu Mo seems to be able to fly the plane!

Because Xu Mo had already, in the emergency, controlled the plane to avoid that mountain; if it weren't for Xu Mo, the plane would have already hit that mountain, and everyone on board would have died—being able to control the plane to steer away from danger at a critical moment, isn't that what it means to know how to fly a plane?

We're saved!

Cockpit.

Xu Mo controlled the plane, avoided colliding with that mountain, and then immediately contacted the nearest ground control tower, preparing for an emergency landing.

The plane's windshield has shattered; given this situation, it certainly can't fly far, since a shattered windshield brings many dangers—cabin oxygen deprivation, low temperature, excessive turbulence, etc. Right now, aside from an emergency landing, there is no other option.

After contacting the ground control tower, Xu Mo also turned on the pilot's broadcast to begin calming everyone's emotions.

"Everyone should now understand the situation: the plane's windshield is shattered, the pilot and co-pilot have fainted from prolonged exposure to the cold air at high altitude. To prevent the plane from completely losing control and crashing, I'm temporarily taking over as pilot. Rest assured, I will fly the plane…… Don't be too pessimistic—it's just a shattered windshield, the problem isn't big! I've already contacted the nearest ground control tower to request an emergency landing; at most there's less than half an hour left, and then everyone will be able to land safely."

As soon as his words finished, the crew members spontaneously organized themselves and also began comforting the passengers on board.

"Don't worry, everyone, this time we'll definitely be fine! There are blankets on the plane; we'll hand them out shortly, and you can wrap yourself up…… There are also oxygen masks above each seat; if you feel short of breath from lack of oxygen, you can use one……"

At times like this, that's all they can do.

The person who truly plays the decisive role is Xu Mo; only he can bring everyone out of danger!

Fortunately, Xu Mo lives up to expectations, keeping the plane under good control the whole time.

Apart from the cold and breathing difficulties caused by the shattered windshield, there are no other problems.

At this moment, the crew also handed out blankets to everyone and taught them how to properly use the oxygen masks, thereby somewhat alleviating the cold and breathing difficulties.

Just when everyone thought everything was heading toward a better outcome,

an unexpected event occurred again.

When it rains, it pours……

A bird struck the plane's engine; the bird died, the engine was knocked out by the bird, and immediately thick smoke began to billow.

After great difficulty stabilizing the fuselage, it began to shake violently again.

"What's going on? Why is the plane shaking again?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the plane seems to be on fire, with smoke coming from the wing……", a passenger seated by the window spoke up.

"On fire? Smoke from the wing??"

"What the hell is going on now?!"

A flight attendant ran to the window and took a look, only to discover that the smoke was coming from the plane's right engine.

She was also dazed.

After flying so many times, today is the most outrageous experience she's ever had.

What on earth is happening today? Can this plane still be fixed?!

Not long after takeoff the windshield shattered; after great effort the plane stabilized, and we were just about to make a harrowing emergency landing—who knew that at this critical moment the engine would catch fire as well.

You have to know, this plane only has two engines; an engine on fire is a situation even more serious than a shattered windshield!

A shattered windshield does have a big impact, but at least the plane can still fly; however, an engine fire—which provides the plane's power—means the plane can barely be flown at all, and it's headed for a crash any minute now!

Just then, Xu Mo's voice came through the pilot's broadcast again.

"I don't know why, but one engine has also failed; however, this is also a minor issue…… It doesn't matter, it's just that the original plan to make an emergency landing at the nearest airport won't work—the plane definitely can't hold out until reaching an airport in this condition. I'm preparing to find a nearby patch of forest and use the trees as a buffer for an emergency landing; everyone, fasten your seatbelts and protect vital parts of your bodies……"

Immediately afterward, Xu Mo contacted the ground control tower again.

At the same time, the ground control tower.

"What? Your engine also failed? …… You want to make an emergency landing in the forest?"

"Alright, I'll contact the ground rescue personnel right away! We'll be there soon!"
