Chapter 339: You Call That Knowing a Little?
In the sky.
A large passenger aircraft with smoking wings is circling, descending little by little.
The forest below is the optimal emergency landing spot Xu Mo selected.
He chose this spot because the trees here are numerous, dense, and relatively sturdy, providing good cushioning.
Using this patch of trees as a cushion may not be ideal, but it's far better than the plane crashing straight into the ground; at least it can absorb some impact and prevent a direct crash.
Meanwhile, the Rescue Team on the ground has received the news and is rushing to the coordinates provided by the airport control tower.
Ambulances, fire trucks, police cars all mobilized, and even the media, equipped with long lenses and short cannons, are ready to record the rescue operation.
A plane missing one engine is hard to control, but Xu Mo's skill is superb; under his masterful handling, the severely damaged, single‑engine‑lost passenger aircraft came to a stop in the forest.
Because of the forced landing in the forest, the plane's wings were repeatedly struck by trees and broke, the fuselage was severely deformed, and the forest was almost flattened by the aircraft's arrival.
Most passengers on the plane were killed, but fortunately this emergency landing caused no loss of life; everyone survived without life‑threatening injuries.
Xu Mo checked his body, found only minor superficial injuries, quickly got up from the cockpit and then addressed the people inside.
"Before the emergency landing I contacted Ground Control Tower; the rescue team will arrive shortly. Everyone, don't run around—just wait patiently,"
When Xu Mo emerged from the cockpit, a Big Brother immediately rushed forward, gripping Xu Mo's hand with an excited expression.
"You're my lifesaver, and the lifesaver for all of us. If not for you… we'd probably all have died on this plane. Thank you…" He said, and the Big Brother even cried, perhaps overwhelmed by the narrow escape.
Someone set the example, and the rest also stepped forward to thank Xu Mo.
What that Big Brother said earlier was correct.
If it weren't for Xu Mo this time, every person on the plane, one by one, would certainly not have survived.
After all, an aircraft is a mode of transport that, once it crashes, is inevitably catastrophic.
"You saved my life; you're my lifesaver. Here's my business card. I have a company in Yangcheng; whenever you run into trouble, just find me. As long as I can solve it—even if it means draining my fortune—I'll definitely help you!"
"I… I don't actually have a company, nor any great skill, but I have a son. You probably don't have a son yet, right? Let me let you experience the joy of being a father early!" A man looked at the baby he was cradling, sucking on a pacifier, and said, "Come, son, call me Dry Father. From now on I'm your Dry Father, understand? If you're disobedient, I'll kill you!"
Xu Mo: "???"
That kid probably hasn't even stopped nursing, yet you let him speak and call you Dry Father? You really are imaginative!
"I don't have anything impressive either; if you're willing to look favorably on me… I can offer myself in marriage…" A girl tugged at her hem, speaking shyly.
Xu Mo: "???"
Offering herself in marriage?? This is getting more and more absurd!
Sending a son to find a Dry Father is one thing, but sending oneself? Unthinkable!
Fearing these people might cause more Mischief, Xu Mo quickly changed the subject.
"Alright, alright, everyone, don't rush to thank me. I understand your feelings, but there are still many injured on the plane. Their safety comes first; let's tend to them!"
"I'll take care of them; I'm a doctor! Whoever is injured, raise a hand, and I'll give simple treatment one by one," a doctor stepped forward from the crowd.
Soon after, a few young girls also stepped forward.
"We're nursing students; we'll assist you!"
"Alright, that's a favor. Go to the cockpit; the Pilot and co‑pilot are still inside. I'll check on them first."
The space inside the aircraft is extremely cramped.
To free up space for the doctors, most uninjured people voluntarily queued and exited the plane.
Xu Mo originally planned to go down as well, but he saw his companion Chen Ke injured, pale and slumped in his seat, so Xu Mo chose to stay and keep him company.
"Where are you hurt? Is it serious? Do you need me to have that guy over there check you first?"
Chen Ke shook his head: "No need. My arm got knocked when we landed, maybe a fracture, but it's not too serious, no life‑threatening danger. I'll endure a bit, let him help others first."
After speaking, Chen Ke looked at Xu Mo and finally asked the question he'd been holding back: "Can you fly a plane?"
Xu Mo thought it could no longer be hidden, and nodded: "Hmm, I know a little bit."
He wanted to stay low‑key, but his ability didn't allow it. This time Xu Mo was forced; if he didn't step up to fly, not only the others on the plane but even he himself would have to go down and drink the Meng Po soup.
"You call that knowing a little??" Chen Ke was stunned.
Although he's never piloted a plane, never having done so is still never, yet he does know some basics about flying.
For example, if the windscreen cracks, most cockpit instruments get damaged, making the aircraft hard to control.
Also, if an engine fails, the plane can lose control completely, ending in wreckage and death.
Xu Mo managed, with only one functional engine, to circle above the forest, pinpoint the optimal emergency landing spot, and execute a full landing—something that can't be summed up as merely knowing a little.
Very few people nationwide could achieve this!
With Xu Mo's skill, becoming a Pilot would be more than enough…
Facing Chen Ke's surprised expression, Xu Mo just smiled, saying nothing.
The fact that he can fly a plane is a bit hard to explain; if he can dodge the question, let him dodge it.
If the Pilot and co‑pilot hadn't been frozen unconscious and the plane hadn't suddenly lost control, Xu Mo's ability to fly would never have been exposed.
Seeing Xu Mo silent, Chen Ke again recalled the events, looked at Xu Mo, and muttered to himself.
"Now I finally understand; no wonder you dared to impersonate the Pilot earlier—so you actually can fly a plane…"
Because Xu Mo sent the coordinates of his intended landing spot to Ground Control Tower before the emergency landing, the ground Rescue Team saved effort; they didn't have to search blindly—just go to the coordinates, and the plane would be nearby.
Sure enough, upon arrival, the Rescue Team immediately saw the smoking plane on the mountain.
However, this is a forest on the mountain; vehicles can't drive up, so the rescue personnel could only park at the road's edge and then trek through the woods to conduct the rescue.
