Trembling At A High Altitude

"It's an airplane crash scene! This is trouble!" Gao Fei became tense as he watched the live broadcast.

"They didn't even give a heads-up before starting Hell Mode?" Elsa lost interest in joking after seeing the screen.

"The shooting of Hell Mode might be different from the normal mode; maybe they start without notice? No one told us what Hell Mode would be like beforehand," Gao Fei thought and then responded to Elsa.

"What do we do now? If it's an airplane crash, your fate is literally not in your own hands, you can only wait to die with the plane," Elsa frowned.

"Yeah, no matter how smart or clever a person is, there's nothing you can do in this scenario, just wait to die," Gao Fei sighed.

...

"Hahahaha... Amazing! An airplane crash! This is the rhythm of complete annihilation! This pair of dogs has killed me, and now they are not meeting a good end themselves! They're both about to pick up their lunch boxes! It's a pity I can't see them slaughtering each other." Feng Dahai was clear-headed and looked very happy at this moment.

"Given the situation now, even if Li Teng, this useless guy, had great abilities, it wouldn't help him now. It's alright if he dies, but he dragged all the passengers to their deaths with him, it's such a grave sin. Now he truly got what he deserved," Huang Xun clicked his tongue a few times.

"They were tortured and teamed up to trigger a self-destruct to get a chance at Hell Mode. Who would have thought it's this kind of Hell Mode. These two are pretty tragic," Pretty Boy expressed a few words of sympathy.

"They deserve it! Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Trading one for two! I've also got my money's worth!" Feng Dahai yelled loudly, trying to find a psychological balance.

...

The plane was still descending, and even faster now; from outside, it could be seen crashing towards the ground at a steep angle!

When the nose of the plane was just a few dozen meters from the ground, the captain suddenly pulled the entire plane up.

The immense stress seemed to have exceeded the ultimate limits the fuselage could withstand.

This roller-coaster-like feeling of shooting straight down and then upward made all the passengers scream aloud.

Li Teng also felt his blood rushing upwards, his mind blanking out from the rapid blood rush, unable to hear or see anything at that instant, with only the hollow buzzing sound in his ears, and the sound of his own heartbeat.

The plane flew up into the sky again, quickly soaring to an altitude of two thousand meters.

If everything in this nightmare was real, the fuselage would soon break apart, and the passengers would be scattered everywhere like flying fairies.

In such a situation, how could one survive?

"Husband, I love you." The wife in the couple behind Li Teng hugged her husband tightly and cried as she spoke to him.

"I love you too." The husband also hugged his wife tightly.

Li Teng felt a wave of sorrow in his heart.

Others get to die in the arms of their loved ones, but he was about to die alone.

Should he pair up with Anna temporarily and pretend to be in love?

Anna, standing next to him, was also extremely pale and seemed too tense to even breathe.

When Li Teng looked at her, she subconsciously grabbed his hand.

The cabin was filled with screams and cries, and the second attempt at landing still failed, leaving the passengers utterly desperate.

In the chaos, it was unclear among these passengers which ones were actors like them.

"Everyone, don't panic! Trust in the pilot and the crew! We're going to be okay!" A male passenger with a deep voice shouted into the cabin, unsure if he was comforting others or himself.

The man's roar seemed to have some effect; the screams in the cabin paused for a few seconds.

Just then, the oxygen masks above the passengers' seats popped out, but the blinking lights suddenly went out, and sparks emitted from electrical wires intermittently.

At this stage in the disaster movie of an airplane crash, it's pretty much over.

"This might be the last few minutes of our lives."

"Hmm..."

The couple behind Li Teng still spoke.

"Husband, I have a secret to tell you—I wouldn't have another chance to say it in this life if I didn't say it now," the wife spoke to her husband again.

"I've also been hiding something from you..."

"You go first."

"No, you go first."

"You go first."

"Still, you go first."

"What time is it now? If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so wordy?" Li Teng, leading from the front, was getting impatient.

"What's it to you?" The couple started cursing at Li Teng together.

"You really have too much free time on your hands." Anna couldn't help but throw in a remark at Li Teng.

"Relax, relax, don't be too tense." Li Teng laughed.

It was then Anna realized that the joke Li Teng had just made to the couple had distracted her, making her less tense than before.

Just a moment ago, she really couldn't even catch her breath.

She had never been this nervous, even under the severe torture from Feng Dahai.

After all, it was the irreversible "Hell Mode"—a group annihilation air crash scenario!

But what good was it to not be tense now?

Could being relaxed change the outcome of the crash and the annihilation?

"Follow me!"

Li Teng unbuckled his seatbelt, stood up, and looked around the cabin.

"Do you have any ideas?" Anna stood up as well, though not very hopeful.

Even if you're smart, what good does it do now?

If Li Teng could figure out a way to survive even an air crash, that would indeed be admirable.

But now, all she could do was follow Li Teng, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

The plane was still in the air, looking for a chance to land, but the fuselage could no longer maintain balance. When Li Teng turned his head, the tilted fuselage made the curtain of the tail supply cabin reveal a gap. From there, one could see the stewardess calling the pilot, her face pale, her hand trembling so much she could hardly hold the microphone steady.

Li Teng had suddenly remembered something from the past that seemed to give him a glimmer of hope for survival.

In any case, it was a matter of life and death; now was the time to take a gamble.

"Come on, everyone follow me to the back of the cabin; the chances of survival might be higher there." After Li Teng and Anna got to the aisle, he kindly spoke a few words to the couple sitting behind him.

"Get lost!" The husband among the couple showed an annoyed expression towards Li Teng.

"I know your wife's secret. Before she died, she wanted to tell you that your son is actually Wang's, from next door." Li Teng said a few words to the husband among the couple. No good deed goes unpunished, so he might as well hurt their feelings a bit.

"Are you insane?"

"Go die!"

The couple cursed at Li Teng together, and the wife, sitting by the aisle, even punched Li Teng in the buttocks.

"I truly wanted to save you..." Li Teng shook his head and quickly walked towards the back of the cabin with Anna.

"What should I even say about you..." Anna was speechless that Li Teng was still in the mood to joke with the couple at this time.

"Haha, say whatever you like." Li Teng wore an indifferent expression.

"To put it nicely, you're facing death with equanimity; to put it not so nicely, you're heartless and thoughtless!" Anna exclaimed.

Just then, the broadcast announced that the plane was attempting another landing.

But below, there were no city buildings or airport runways in sight.

And it was back above the wilderness.

Where were they planning to land?
