Chapter 317: Need to Make an Emergency Landing
The airplane was blown open with a hole.
Who exactly was so cruel?
You should know, there were over a hundred passengers on this plane.
While planes are said to be the safest mode of transportation in the world, it doesn't mean they are entirely safe.
When nothing goes wrong, airplanes are indeed very safe.
Once something goes wrong, unless one is exceptionally lucky, it's almost impossible to escape unscathed.
If not for the accident, it's likely that out of these hundred-plus passengers, fewer than ten could have survived.
Su Chen had no time to think about who had planted the bomb on the plane.
His main concern was, of course, Lin Xi.
First class and economy class were separated, and since there was only one explosion, Lin Xi should be safe for the time being.
But that was temporary; if the airplane crashes, everyone would be doomed.
Even Su Chen himself didn't know if he could survive.
As for the two flight attendants who were originally walking in the aisle without their seatbelts fastened, although they grabbed the seats in time, their strength was no match for the powerful suction force.
Instantly, the shorter flight attendant screamed as she was sucked out of the airplane by the airflow.
The other flight attendant, Xiao Yifei, had not been sucked out yet.
But she was also losing her grip.
Her hands gripping the seat started to slip.
Her face was filled with terror.
She had just witnessed her colleague being sucked out of the plane.
At this altitude, being pulled out of the plane basically meant certain death.
And she had no time to grieve.
Because soon, she would follow in her colleague's footsteps.
Finally, Xiao Yifei's strength gave out, and her grip on the seat loosened.
Her body immediately flew toward the opening.
However, just as she was about to be sucked out, a hand reached out and grabbed hers.
Xiao Yifei, terrified, turned pale, her heart racing, almost to the point of exploding.
After all, she had just narrowly escaped Death God.
Looking up, she saw that the person who grabbed her was Su Chen.
In fact, if that flight attendant had only held on for five more seconds, he could have saved her.
Sadly...
Being grabbed by Su Chen, Xiao Yifei didn't feel she was out of danger.
Her body, due to the sucking force of the airflow, was floating in the air.
The moment Su Chen let go, she would be immediately sucked out.
This feeling was actually more torturous than being directly sucked out and killed.
Of course, if she really were sucked out, she wouldn't die immediately but would experience suffocation, freezing, and ultimately be smashed into a pulpy mess.
Su Chen held onto Xiao Yifei with one hand and gripped the seat tightly with the other.
Then, bit by bit, he used force to pull Xiao Yifei back to his seat.
"Buckle up your seatbelt!" Su Chen said to Xiao Yifei.
After Xiao Yifei buckled her seatbelt, Su Chen immediately made his way toward the front of the cabin.
No, not walking, but crawling.
With each move forward, his hands dug deeply into the metal floor of the airplane.
More passengers continued to be sucked out.
However, Su Chen had no time to save them.
The airplane has a hole in the middle, and if we do not find a solution, even if we secure the passengers back to their seats, it would be pointless.
Because the airplane will soon be torn apart by airflow.
At that time, the airplane will immediately disintegrate, and everyone will be done for.
Soon, Su Chen arrived in first class.
First class was fine.
But it was also chaotic.
They also felt the abnormality of the plane.
"Su Chen, what happened?" Mrs. Xia's face was somewhat pale.
Actually, she was a bit afraid of heights.
She was even afraid of flying at first.
Now, the violent turbulence frightened her.
The others also looked at Su Chen, who came from the back, with every face filled with worry.
Su Chen glanced at everyone and said, "It's okay, everyone just fasten your seat belts."
Now if he tells these people that the plane has a hole and will be torn in half soon, it would only cause panic without any useful outcome.
So, Su Chen decided not to tell them.
"Director Lin, Sister Yan, no matter what happens later, do not unfasten your seat belts!" After advising the two, Su Chen then headed towards the cockpit.
Though Su Chen didn't mention it, both could tell the situation was serious.
Because normally, Su Chen always had a playful and smiling demeanor, they had never seen Su Chen show such a solemn expression before.
Arriving at the cockpit, Su Chen saw two people.
One was the captain and the other the co-pilot.
The captain was a middle-aged man close to fifty, while the co-pilot, to Su Chen's surprise, was a beautiful French woman in her twenties.
"What's the situation at the back?" The captain, seeing Su Chen, hurriedly asked.
Though he could see from the instruments that the plane had malfunctioned, he did not know the specifics.
"There is a hole about two meters wide in the middle section of the plane, which might break into two if not handled quickly," Su Chen said solemnly.
"Are you joking? If there's really a hole in the plane, how could you make it here?" The beautiful French co-pilot said incredulously.
"Believe it or not, we need to prepare for an emergency landing now!" Su Chen couldn't bother to explain.
If we can land before the plane breaks in half, perhaps there is a glimmer of hope for everyone.
"Emergency landing? Do you know where we are? Above the Atlantic!" the beautiful French co-pilot frowned.
Below us is the ocean, how to make an emergency landing?
The captain certainly had far more flying experience than the co-pilot.
From the instrument readings and the plane's condition, it's clear that what Su Chen said was true.
"Prepare for an emergency landing," the captain decisively said.
"But, but I've never done a sea landing before!" the French co-pilot was a bit stunned.
She was too young after all. She might be excellent theoretically, but had too little practice.
She couldn't even handle regular flying on her own, not to mention an emergency landing.
Usually, for a normal flight, one captain was enough, but for an emergency landing, doing it alone was akin to a dream.
Even an experienced pilot like the captain required cooperation from the co-pilot.
This captain was nearly fifty years old and had ample flying experience. With the cooperation of a good co-pilot, a sea landing was still feasible.
Unfortunately, this co-pilot had not learned sea landing maneuvers, let alone have experience in it.
"Let me do it!" Su Chen suddenly spoke up.
"Are you a pilot?" the captain looked at Su Chen with some surprise.
Su Chen looked only in his early twenties, such young pilots were rare.
"No," Su Chen shook his head.
"If you're not a pilot, what trouble are you causing here?" the French co-pilot pouted.
