Chapter 340: No One Perished
On the way there, the Rescue Team members were all thinking that this plane crash would certainly cause massive casualties.
Some even believed that the over one hundred passengers on this plane would lose two‑thirds of their numbers, or even more, because of this accident.
After all, the accident was extremely severe: first the windshield shattered, then one engine caught fire and could no longer provide thrust, the aircraft lost control, even an emergency landing at the nearest airport became a luxury, and finally it could only opt to ditch in this nearby forest.
Under such circumstances, casualties were almost inevitable, and the number would certainly be high; it was even possible that the onboard losses were worse than they imagined, perhaps a total wipe‑out…
But what the Rescue Team never expected was that no one had been lost at all; not a single passenger died, only the majority were injured.
……
"I see the wreckage up ahead; let's speed up and go check it out!"
Seeing the wreckage, the Rescue Team members couldn't help but quicken their pace.
At that moment, the roughly twenty people who had already left the plane unharmed also noticed the arriving Rescue Team and, excited, waved at them.
Seeing that there were only a little over twenty, fewer than thirty survivors outside the plane, the Rescue Team members all felt a tight knot in their hearts.
Sure enough, the casualty situation was indeed severe; there were fewer than thirty people left.
To know that, including the crew, the flight carried a full 133 people, yet now they could only see the twenty‑something survivors before them; presumably the remaining over a hundred perished in the accident… a truly heartbreaking fact.
For a moment, the Rescue Team's atmosphere grew heavy.
The accompanying cameraman, seeing this, immediately pointed his camera at the survivors, while the reporter traveling with him tidied his clothes a bit before grabbing a microphone, ready to record a segment at once.
"This is the first footage of the crash site; we can see that of the 133 passengers on this flight, only about twenty‑something are still alive…"
Immediately afterward, the reporter and cameraman rushed forward and approached one of the survivors.
"Good sir, may we interview you? As one of the survivors of this accident, do you have anything you'd like to say?"
The interviewed man fell silent for two seconds, then looked at the camera and shouted excitedly, "Uh... Xu Mo is awesome!!!"
Reporter: "???"
Rescue Team members: "???"
Even the reporter, usually quick on the spot, was bewildered, not knowing how to respond.
They asked you, as one of the survivors, what you have to say, and you replied with "Xu Mo is awesome"??
And this inexplicable excitement is hard to understand, Big Brother, you just went through an air disaster! Why are you so excited?
At this moment, shouldn't you be lamenting the fickleness of fate, the fragility of life, expressing joy at having survived, and perhaps remembering the unfortunate compatriots?
What the heck is "Xu Mo is awesome" supposed to mean!
"Excuse me, what did you say? I didn't quite catch that."
"I said, Xu Mo is awesome!" The interviewed man repeated his words louder.
To him, those four words summed up all his feelings, since his safe survival was, after all, thanks to Xu Mo.
Reporter: "…"
She knows who Xu Mo is, she also knows that Xu Mo is awesome, but… saying that in this setting is somewhat odd.
Is there any necessary link between surviving the disaster and Xu Mo?
Could it be that these survivors were all rescued by Xu Mo in the Sky Eye Operation?
……
On the other side.
"How come there isn't a single injured person... strange, strange," a doctor in the Rescue Team wondered.
Logically, such an accident should produce many injured, but what he saw was each survivor lively and healthy, with no sign of injury at all.
"Are you the Rescue Team doctors? There are many injured on the plane who can't move; please go check on them," a survivor called out to the doctors and nurses in white coats.
The doctor, hearing this, suddenly understood.
So the reason there isn't a single injured person here is that they're all on the aircraft!
Come to think of it, anyone who could get off the plane after the crash certainly isn't injured; the real injured must still be on the aircraft, since injuries impede movement!
Realizing this, the doctors and nurses immediately boarded the plane, ready to treat the injured aboard.
The first doctor who entered the cabin was stunned.
The second doctor who entered the cabin was also stunned.
The third doctor who entered the cabin was still stunned…
Looking around, almost everyone on the plane was an injured person, and oddly, their injuries seemed minor; at least none were life‑threatening.
So much so that the injured could smile and greet them upon seeing them.
After a rough count, the doctors found that about a hundred injured survivors remained on the plane, plus the twenty‑something survivors on the ground, totaling 133 people, all safe, with no one perished!
Wasn't this a severe air disaster? How could no one have perished?
Of course, the doctors and nurses weren't bothered by the fact that no one died; the lack of fatalities is actually good—who in the medical field wants to see people die?
"Quick, quick, treat the injured!" one doctor shouted.
What they now have to do is to do everything to treat the injured.
"Doctor, over here, his arm seems fractured; could you take a look?" Seeing the Rescue Team arrive, Xu Mo also called out to Chen Ke.
"Alright!" the doctor said as he came over.
Seeing this, Xu Mo didn't linger to get in the way; instead he lightly patted Chen Ke's shoulder and, preparing to leave the cabin, said, "The doctor's here, I'll head out first."
Meanwhile.
Outside the plane.
"What? You say no one perished in this air disaster?" The reporter was stunned upon hearing from the survivors that there were no fatalities.
She knew the plane's windshield had shattered and the engine had caught fire; under those conditions, how could everyone survive? The Pilot must be incredible! With the plane in such a state, could he really bring all the passengers safely to the ground?
"Where's the Pilot? Who is the Pilot, and where is he? I need to interview him!" the reporter said anxiously.
