570: Chapter 559: Forced Landing!
A Boeing 787 flying from Bali to Zhonghai lost contact, and the incident quickly caught the attention of the International Aviation Federation.
Bali’s television stations, as well as the rest of the world, were broadcasting this news.
“According to the latest information, the missing aircraft has still not been found, and the situation does not look optimistic.
Analysis indicates that hijacking cannot be ruled out…”
Ning Fan stood in front of the television, watching Bali’s local station report the news about the disappearance of the flight Xu Ruolan was on, his face clouded with grimness.
anwhile, high above the African continent, the missing Boeing 787 was flying aimlessly through the skies.
“Damn it, we simply don’t have enough fuel to fly us back, and we can’t even land at the nearest airport!!!”
Apollo angrily stared at the fuel gauge’s red line.
Soone had tampered with the fuel tank, which should have been full enough for the 787’s long-haul flight but was not.
By the ti they discovered it, it was already too late.
They were now over the African continent, a hundred kiloters from the nearest airport, with the African savannah below them.
“We have taken care of all the Fang Guild’s people.
When can we turn back?”
Suddenly, Bali approached the cockpit door and asked the two people hurriedly.
“Turn back?
If we don’t figure out a way to make an ergency landing now, we’re going to crash!”
If the fuel could no longer support the plane’s flight, their only end would be a catastrophic crash.
Apollo’s expression was extrely ugly as he gripped the control yoke, wishing he could smash his fist into it.
Beside him, Africa’s face was also darkened.
If they had noticed the issue at takeoff, then they might have had a chance to return.
But now, they faced only one choice—if they didn’t want to die, their only option was an ergency landing!
“Let’s try to make contact with Ning Fan…” After a long while, Africa finally spoke up.
Bali turned to look at Xu Ruolan, who was filled with worry, sighed, and went to find the satellite phone on the plane.
Within a minute, Bali managed to make contact with Ning Fan.
Ning Fan, far away in Bali, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Bali’s voice on the phone and urgently asked, “How are you guys doing now?”
“Not good, we’re running low on fuel, and we might have to make an ergency landing, and…
we’re over Africa!”
Africa being the Fang Guild’s stronghold, no wonder Bali’s tone was so angry at the end.
Ning Fan’s face darkened, his eyes flashing with a myriad of complex emotions.
After thinking, he said resolutely, “Go ahead and land, and pass her the phone.”
Bali gave a brief affirmation and then called Xu Ruolan over.
As she took the phone, Xu Ruolan’s expression was sowhat agitated.
After thinking for several seconds, she finally said, “Ning Fan, don’t do anything foolish…”
“Hmm, I won’t do anything foolish.
Just follow their instructions, and I’ll bring you back soon.”
Ning Fan tried to keep his voice calm, so as not to worry Xu Ruolan.
Afterwards, neither of them said much more, perhaps affirming the adage that everything was understood without words.
Apollo was forcing him to make a choice.
Even if they managed to land successfully, Xu Ruolan and the others would surely be surrounded by the Fang Guild and then captured.
But neither Ning Fan nor they had a choice in the matter.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Fan prepared to set out for Africa.
After contacting Ning Fan, we still had no choice but to make an ergency landing.
“This is the African savannah, attempting an ergency landing here is practically suicide…” Apollo couldn’t help but complain, but the current situation gave him no choice.
If they attempted to land, they might all perish with the plane.
“Miss Xu Ruolan, please return to your seat, fasten your seat belt, and try not to panic.
I will deploy the oxygen masks.”
Apollo spoke softly to Xu Ruolan, who nodded and then left with Bali.
“Apollo, I’ll make an announcent shortly, get those passengers to calm down.”
Apollo instructed Apollo further.
Apollo nodded and imdiately ran down to deal with the passengers who would probably be very agitated upon hearing the news of an ergency landing.
“Found it, finally found it, this is the place, the only place!”
Apollo suddenly shouted excitedly.
He could now see the ground below, which was a vast plain; it was as if the heavens were helping them.
The fuel gauge was already on empty.
Finding this plain at this ti, Apollo felt extrely grateful.
He fastened his seat belt and shouted, “Quick, no ti to lose, prepare for ergency landing in five minutes!”
Apollo nodded, fastened his own seat belt, and then began the announcent.
“Ladies and gentlen, I have so unfortunate news to share.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to make an ergency landing in five minutes.
Please stay in your seats, fasten your seat belts, and remain calm…”
This ssage was repeated three tis over the plane’s speakers.
Oxygen masks fell down in front of the passengers, and at the mont the announcent ended, the cabin erupted into chaos.
“Ergency landing?!”
“What’s going on, why do we have to land, shouldn’t we turn back?”
“We can’t make an ergency landing, we absolutely can’t, do you want to kill us?!”
“Damn it, what the hell is happening?!”
The passengers were in an uproar, shouting over one another.
The crowd, already shaken by the earlier bloody incident brought by Apollo and his team, now learnt the plane was going to land imminently; their tolerance had reached a breaking point.
Standing among the crowd, Apollo shouted, “Do you all want to die?!”
Seeing passengers preparing to rush forward for an explanation, Apollo’s roar overpowered their voices.
“Everyone sit the hell down.
If you don’t want to die, fasten your seat belts.
If you’re scared, close your eyes, and if you have any breathing problems, put on your oxygen masks right now!
If you want to die, stand up, but don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
Apollo flexed his muscles, and the passengers in the cabin, terrified, all shut their mouths.
Overwheld by his authority, they complied with his commands.
Seeing the group finally settle down, Apollo silently cursed them for being so stubborn, only listening after being yelled at.
“We’re about to make an ergency landing, pray.
I don’t want to die, and neither do you!
If we’re going to survive, we absolutely can.”
If Apollo’s previous approach was to intimidate the soul, now he was trying to inspire everyone.
The passengers were filled with mixed emotions.
Many closed their eyes and began to pray, the timid ones already crying.
It was a mont of human vulnerability, a mix of all sorts of feelings.
anwhile, inside the cockpit, the situation wasn’t as complex.
Apollo and Apollo were focusing entirely on one thing—landing the plane!
