Chapter 4541: Brightest Day (VII)
Schiller could clearly feel his right hand going numb. He had to retract his judgment that the revolver was not affected by the weak-wrist effect. He had no doubt that the consequence of him firing another shot now would be a radial fracture, and the bullet would directly punch through the plane's fuselage.
It could only be said that Diana still trusted his marksmanship too much. If this shot hadn't hit the hijacker, the plane would be in the middle of crashing now. It was also fortunate that his marksmanship was good, and the bullet successfully hit the hijacker without causing damage to the fuselage. In a sense, they also saved this plane once.
Schiller stood up a bit shakily, just as he used his hand to support the seat back on one side, with a "bang," a gun butt smashed onto his neck. He staggered forward, pretending to faint and falling down. Just as the other party straightened up and wanted to make up a shot, he kicked the other party's calf subconsciously, turned around and raised his gun to aim, but forcibly stopped his action of pulling the trigger.
This gun was a trap! Schiller cursed in his heart while quickly changing his movements, curled his body and rolled to the other side, stood up holding the seat armrest, and kicked the other party's crotch again.
Fortunately, the other party also saw the scene of Schiller firing before, obviously deterred by the pitch-black muzzle pointing at him, and was stunned for a second. It was this second that made him completely lose the first-mover advantage, first being kicked into a stagger by Schiller, and then grabbed the barrel of the rifle in his hand.
"Bang!"
A bullet hit diagonally above, blocked by the luggage rack, without damaging the fuselage. Then there was another "bang," flying past the flight attendant's scalp and hitting the door of the preparation room.
Schiller grabbed the head of the rifle, while the other party grabbed the handle. Because of the holding posture, it was difficult to snatch the gun. In daily life, snatching a gun with bare hands was actually scientific, but it had to be a pistol, and it had to be in the case of the other party holding the gun with one hand. As long as you grab the other party's wrist with both hands, you can easily control the direction of the other party's shooting. As long as you control that hand of the other party, then even if you can't take the pistol from his hand, you can make the firearm lose its power.
But rifles wouldn't work, because no one would hold a rifle with one hand, and both hands against both hands, it was not certain that the direction of the muzzle could be controlled. Schiller did this just relying on his strength, forcibly twisting the trajectory, but this also made his hands suffer the shock of firing, and his right arm went even more numb.
The other party obviously didn't feel good either. The unscientific holding posture was very fatal to the shooter, because he had to bear most of the recoil of firing. He was also holding an M4 carbine, this kind of firearm was equipped with a sliding stock. After his holding posture was interfered with by Schiller, the recoil directly gave his lower right rib a blow of the elbow, and the pain made him shrink back subconsciously.
This action directly led to the disability of his arms. Schiller pulled the gun forward and kicked the lower part of his right upper arm. The arm went numb, and naturally, he couldn't hold the gun. Schiller pulled forward again, forcibly pulling the rifle in the other party's hand off.
Another hijacker who rushed over from the economy class at the back was stunned by Schiller's move of snatching the rifle with bare hands. The rifle he was holding was also a modified AR15. Just as he raised his gun to aim, there was another loud "bang," and Schiller had to fire another shot with the revolver to knock him down.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use the rifle he just snatched, but after the struggle just now, the firearm performance was unreliable, and it would be troublesome if it couldn't be fired. Even if this revolver hurt the enemy by one thousand and damaged himself by eight hundred, Schiller still wouldn't retract the evaluation that the revolver was reliable. The reliability of the revolver was the only reason it hadn't been eliminated in actual combat.
This shot again caused eardrum damage to almost everyone including Schiller. Schiller doubted whether Diana had installed a loudspeaker on this gun, how could it be so loud?
The eardrum damage brought not only hearing problems. As everyone knows, the human body's balance organs are also in this part. In a real battlefield, many soldiers have no way to run in a straight line, and they often stagger and stumble during the process of escaping, because under the bombardment of artillery fire, the huge sound will seriously affect their body's balance system. It is the same in events like bombing attacks, it's not that they don't want to fly, but they can't do it.
When the demigod designed this revolver, she obviously didn't consider how fragile human hearing and balance systems were. After three shots, Schiller's hearing and balance systems, if not completely destroyed, were about the same. He supported the seat back next to him and took a deep breath, only then did he suppress the impulse to hijack the plane and crash into the Metropolitan Museum.
He turned his head to scan the economy class, and people were looking at him with terrified eyes. But he knew very well that there were still hijackers in the economy class, but the situation was too weird, and he didn't dare to stand out. The other party must still have a gun, it should be a submachine gun.
The three long-gunners who had appeared so far were all holding rifles, lacking a fire suppression position. At this distance, the lethality of a submachine gun was also very high. As long as he dared to turn around, he would definitely be beaten into a sieve.
The reason why he felt that this person was in the economy class was because he was now in the business class. If someone in the business class had a gun, when he was entangled with the hijacker and snatching the gun just now, the other party would definitely shoot from the side, which was a great opportunity to kill him. Not doing so proved that the other party should be behind that hijacker, and there was a possibility of accidental injury, so he didn't move.
Then he could only change a method. Schiller said to the flight attendant who was already scared silly next to him: "Go and notify the cockpit, fly according to the scheduled route, don't land on the water."
The flight attendant, although afraid, still ran away tremblingly. The flight attendant who had served him before walked over and whispered: "Sir, we are now..."
"It's not safe yet, there are still hijackers hiding among the passengers, mostly in the economy class, I will watch here. If you are afraid, go to the preparation room and hide."
He didn't lower his voice, and most of the passengers heard it. After they recovered from the initial panic, they began to whisper. An old man sitting on the far side of the business class asked: "Who are you? Why do you have a gun?"
"I am an agent, it is inconvenient to disclose which department I belong to. Appearing on this plane is also my private behavior. The gun is naturally to protect myself. Don't ask about the rest."
This statement was very clever. Schiller's every word implied that he was once a law enforcement officer, just because he got into some trouble and had to flee abroad, which was very consistent with the public's expectations of an agent's life experience.
"Then forgive me for speaking bluntly, are they here to..."
"I believe I am not worth them making such a big fuss." Schiller shook his head, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have boarded the plane so smoothly."
Most people accepted Schiller's statement. An agent is not a good profession in any country, but precisely because of this, they usually don't come into contact with any very important secrets, and they are not precious, just change another one if they are gone, it's not worth making such a big fuss.
The Boeing 787 is a wide-body aircraft with a considerable number of passengers, and it is also famous for its comfortable business class. People who can afford full-price business class and first class also have faces. The cost of such a plane crashing is too great. If it is said to be for important figures in politics or science, there is still a possibility, but it is too worthless for an agent.
"Either block the economy class..." Someone said. This was a quite selfish proposal, but it could be considered a method. There were not many people in the economy class, if there were hijackers hiding in it, blocking the economy class would sacrifice fewer people, and the career of the flight crew who chose to use the isolation facility would be over.
Because hijacking incidents occurred frequently, many planes had equipment to isolate the cabin. But this measure was controversial, because no matter which cabin the hijacker was isolated in, it was equivalent to directly abandoning so many lives.
The flight attendant showed an extremely embarrassed expression and looked at Schiller for help. After all, before other hijackers appeared, Schiller was the only one with a gun, and now the entire flight crew had to listen to him.
"Cannot block the economy class," Schiller said, "This is not because of any humanitarian considerations, but if they have large-caliber firearms in their hands and directly destroy the fuselage structure, we will have to make a water landing. If the economy class is blocked, I will have no way to stop him from shooting at the first time."
The cabin was suddenly astonished. They really didn't expect this point. Although they were a bit skeptical about whether so-called large-caliber firearms could penetrate such a wide-body passenger plane, looking at the revolver in Schiller's hand, they could only temporarily put aside their doubts.
Just then, the purser's trembling voice sounded: "Sir! Egyptian airspace is not open to us..."
"Damn it." Schiller cursed. This was obviously the worst situation. Whether someone messed with it, or Egypt didn't want to get into this big trouble, closing the airspace meant they had no way to land in Egypt. The cabin was suddenly full of complaints.
"What about other countries nearby?" Schiller asked.
"We are contacting." The purser was also panting, obviously forcing himself to calm down, he said, "But there is little hope, especially when we can't prove that the terrorists on the plane have been cleared."
Schiller was also a bit helpless. He could understand the choices of these countries. Now no one could say that this plane had escaped the control of terrorists and returned to a safe state. And since it hadn't escaped control, the plane could crash into buildings in the city at any time. A plane of this size crashing in the city would be a terrible disaster, and directly refusing entry was the best choice.
To say that entry was refused, could it be forced in, actually it could. But missiles were not for nothing. Especially the other side of the Straits of Tiran was Saudi Arabia and Israel, which were accident-prone areas. Tiran Island was a place contested by all strategists, and everything there would trigger multi-country sensitive muscles. If entry was not allowed, and it had to be flown in, it was not impossible to be shot down. ===== CHAPTER 4542 =====
As for being denied entry, whether one can force their way in, it is actually possible. However, missiles are not to be trifled with. Especially since the other side of the Strait of Tiran is Saudi Arabia and Israel, which are high-accident areas. Tiran Island is even more of a strategic location; any action there will trigger the sensitive nerves of multiple countries. If they don't let you in and you insist on sailing in, it is not impossible to be shot down.
