Chapter 151: Desert Landing

The sun was scorching.

Youxi felt the pain in her body and the blinding sunlight. Something climbed up from between her fingers, then stopped. A moment later, something sharp pierced the back of her hand.

Unfortunately, the sharp object pierced her gloves but failed to pierce her skin.

Youxi sneered in a semi-conscious state, and was then awakened by her own laughter.

She opened her eyes and found herself lying on her side on the sand. A black scorpion retracted its stinger, reluctantly crawled down from the back of her hand, and then drilled into the sand.

Is this... a desert?

Youxi's thoughts paused for a second, and all the scenes before and after dawn came flooding back to her mind.

They set out from City B in Country D and boarded a flight back to Country Hua, but something went wrong before the transfer.

The mutant on the plane fell out of the plane. She used her ice ability to seal the broken window glass, stabilize the air pressure in the cabin, and slightly stabilize the fuselage. However, due to problems with the wing engine, the plane still fell downwards.

She immediately used the loudspeaker to ask if anyone on the plane could fly a plane. After no result, she could only give up and save herself.

Fortunately, one of the pilots was still alive - the one who had reminded her to "be careful" before. He had a broken leg, a smashed head, and his ribs seemed to be broken. He was in a daze and fell into a semi-comatose state.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. You Xi cannot hesitate, because there is no time for her to hesitate. Every second of hesitation will put the entire plane and everyone on board in danger of death.

She gave the semi-conscious pilot a shot of adrenaline, moved him back to his original seat, and fastened his seat belt for him.

She has learned to fly helicopters and small planes, but she has never flown such a large passenger plane.

The plane crashed during automatic driving. Now she has to switch the driving mode back to manual, try to stabilize the fuselage, and then make an emergency landing.

However, the dashboard in front of her is too complicated. Manual driving is not possible for her alone, and the location of the emergency landing also needs to be decided by an experienced pilot.

Fortunately, when she found the button, switched the plane back to manual control and temporarily stabilized the fuselage, the pilot woke up under the effect of adrenaline.

After all, he was a professionally trained pilot, and he knew very well that he was not only responsible for the lives of hundreds of passengers, but also those in the city below. Once the flight crashed in the city, the death toll would be far more than hundreds.

"We are already over Diguo and will make an emergency landing in Diguo, but we have to avoid the city..." He motioned Youxi to use the headset to contact the Diguo tower and call for help.

"Emergency landing at sea?" She remembered that Diguo was on the seashore.

"No, a water landing is too dangerous... Landing at this height is no different from hitting rocks... Go here!" He gestured to the electronic map on the instrument panel, "Let's make an emergency landing in the desert... I don't have enough strength, you will adjust the landing position later, and make sure to pull the nose of the plane up at the right time..."

The pilot felt relieved when he saw Youxi calling the tower in fluent Mandarin.

He took a hard breath, picked up the loudspeaker beside him, and performed his final duty as the captain of the passenger plane: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the captain of D495ND... The plane had a mechanical failure and could not continue flying... The decision was made to make an emergency landing. We have already contacted the rescue unit, please follow the instructions of the flight attendants and sit in your respective seats... Fasten your seat belts, lower your head and hug your knees tightly..."

In the bumpy and shaking cabin, the passengers' crying and prayers were mixed. From time to time, the buckles of the luggage racks loosened, and various backpacks and items fell from them. Some people were unlucky enough to be hit and fainted, but the people around them were too busy to take care of themselves.

Kong Lin and other students were sitting in their seats, all of them maintaining a safe posture, but the shaking and bumping of the cabin were so terrible, and the feeling of weightlessness came from time to time, and every shock seemed to hit their hearts hard.

I don't know if it was an illusion, the air in the cabin seemed to become thinner, and looking out through the left window, you can see a long black smoke trailing behind the wing.

"I don't want to die... or this kind of death from falling from a high altitude. I don't want to be broken into pieces, it's too scary..." Wu You wailed, tears and snot flowing.

"Wu You, you cowardly kid, can you shut up? What unlucky words are you saying at this time?"

"That's right, you always talk the most. Min Min and the other girls haven't cried yet, why are you crying?"

"Damn it, damn it, bah! It's so unlucky! I won't die!"

"I'm just saying what's wrong. I'm almost dying, so I'm saying what's wrong!" Wu You raised his neck to retort, but then he remembered that he had to keep a safe posture and lowered his head in a hurry.

"Just wait, when I get to the ground safely, I will definitely beat you up..."

"Classmates, stop arguing..." Ge Cong's voice was trembling.

...

The fuselage tilted again, and a group of students quarreled in the screams.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the cockpit was also very tense.

"I can see the ground!"

"Okay, hold on, don't rush..."

You Xi also noticed that the ice layer on the window glass began to thin. While being alert to the distance from the ground, he had to continue to output his supernatural power to solidify the remaining ice layer...

"

Lower the landing gear..."

"...No response!" "

Go pull that handle! Quick! Quick!"

"Okay!"

"Quickly pull the nose of the plane! Be careful!"

"The right landing gear is broken!"

"Hold on--"

...

In the last minute of the forced landing, all the scenes became chaotic. The sound of the bottom of the plane rubbing against the sand was infinitely amplified in his ears, the wings broke, the cabin cracked, and the huge shock knocked most of the passengers in the cabin unconscious.

In the cockpit, You Xi had stood up to lower the landing gear, and she didn't have time to fasten her seat belt. Due to inertia and the huge shock, she crashed headfirst into the broken window.

In the emergency, she only had time to protect her head and face, and then she was thrown out heavily...

...

The memory only stopped here. She should have been thrown out of the plane and passed out. If it were an ordinary person, even if she didn't die, she would be seriously injured. You Xi felt her body and limbs, fortunately they could move, and there were no signs of fractures.

There was only the sound of wind and sand around her. She lay on her side, and when she wanted to get up after a moment of calm, she felt a shadow covering her from behind.

The air was filled with the smell of blood. She looked up and saw a long shadow appearing on the sand. The other party came from behind her. Judging from the shadow's movements, the person seemed to be holding something up to her.

Youxi felt a hint of danger, and she held on to the sand with her hands to turn over and stand up. At the same time, a bottle of [High Temperature Perfume] appeared in her hand, but it stopped just before she pressed it.

Kong Lin supported the metal rod in his hand with one hand, maintaining the action of half squatting, staring at her who suddenly jumped up: "Are you okay?"

Seeing that it was him, You Xi breathed a sigh of relief and put down the hand holding [High Temperature Perfume]: "Fortunately, where are the others?"

Kong Lin reached out and helped her up, indicating the direction behind him. The huge wreckage was divided into two parts, lying quietly in the desert. From time to time, people jumped out of the wreckage. She saw other surviving passengers on the plane and her classmates.

Judging from the position of the sun, it was not long after dawn, and she was unconscious for about 20 minutes at most.

The surrounding area was all desert, and the temperature here was very high. Before You Xi landed, she remembered that this area was not far from the city, but for some reason, rescue had not come yet.

When she called before, the tower did respond, and they were also very clear about the approximate location of their emergency landing, so they should have been prepared.

They slowly walked back to the vicinity of the cabin. Several injured classmates supported each other and looked around, as if they were looking for something, and suppressed crying sounded from time to time.

You Xi looked around and quickly realized that three classmates were missing and the teacher was nowhere to be found.

Kong Lin told her that the fuselage cracked during the emergency landing, and some seats were loosened from the cabin, and the people in the seats were thrown out, and now even the people can't be found.

Now no one knows where they are, and the mobile phones can't receive any signals at all, and there is no way to contact the outside world.

Wu You held his injured arm, and after searching in vain, he sat down on the sand: "Didn't you say you would give me a good beating after you landed safely? Come on! I'm right here, come and beat me up, you bastard... Wuwuwuwu..."

He cried and cursed, and the other classmates couldn't help it either. Several girls hugged each other and cried silently.

You Xi understood them. It was impossible to accept the sudden life-and-death incident. But now is not the time to cry.

You Xi turned around and looked at Kong Lin: "Are you injured?"

"I'm lucky, just a few scratches." He pulled up his sleeves to show her.

"Okay, listen carefully. We have made an emergency landing in the desert of Diguo. For some reason, the rescue team that was supposed to show up did not show up. Many people are injured now, and there may be many seriously injured people in the plane. We can't stay in the desert forever, but we are not familiar with the roads around here, and we have no way to contact the outside world. In other words, we are trapped.

So now we have to make preparations for both situations. I will drive. In the direction of the cabin, try to climb up and see if the communicator is still working. I will try to call the tower for rescue again.

You find a few classmates who are not injured or have minor injuries, go to the plane to find the medical kit, check if there are any crew members who have survived and are conscious, then treat the injuries of the classmates first, and then collect food, water and clothes on the plane. If rescue does not come, we have to find a way to get out of this desert by ourselves. "

"Okay, I understand." Kong Lin looked at her with a complicated look, but he nodded and agreed, "Are you injured? What happened in the cockpit before? Why did the plane suddenly malfunction?"

"I have some sprains and scratches, but it's not a big deal. One of the flight attendants mutated and attacked two pilots in the cockpit... Fortunately, the mutant died later, one of the pilots died, and the other pilot made an emergency landing."

Although she used her supernatural powers in the cockpit, everyone was in their seats in the cockpit at the time, and no one knew what happened in the cockpit.

In an emergency, she would not hide her peculiarities just because she wanted to conceal them, but in non-emergency situations, she would try her best to hide her peculiarities.

This world still has order, and it is not advisable to stand out too much for the time being.

After Kong Lin asked, he went to his classmate, ready to find the medical kit in the cabin as she instructed.

You Xi turned and walked towards the nose of the plane, and took out two exquisite pointed hammers at an angle that no one else could see. She used the tips of the hammers as grappling hooks, knocking on the outer shell of the nose in turn, and using the little force that was stuck, she quickly climbed up and re-entered the cockpit through the broken cabin glass.

In the cockpit, the captain who had faithfully saved the entire plane was no longer breathing. You Xi knew that he had come into contact with the mutant's blood, so she went forward to check carefully and found that all his vital signs were gone, and he was not in any post-mortem mutation state for the time being.

She found the call communicator and tried to contact the tower again.

This time, no matter how she called, there was no response from the other end.

She dropped the communicator and walked out of the cockpit door. When she passed the flight attendant's seat, she found that one of the stewardesses had died, and the other had woken up, curled up on the floor beside her and groaned softly.

Her legs were broken and her head was bruised.

In the rear cabin, everyone looked like they had survived a disaster.

The dead, seriously injured, slightly injured, crying... were far more terrifying than the disintegrating plane seen from outside the plane.

In this case, if rescue did not come, it would be impossible for everyone to walk out of the desert together. Only those who were not injured could form a team, leave the desert and find the city, so as to find rescue for the seriously injured on the plane.

An hour later, the self-rescue team set out.

Except for the three missing and dead classmates and teachers, the remaining twelve people were slightly injured and all joined the self-rescue team. In addition, several young people from Country D also joined the team.

Almost everyone found a backpack and put some food and mineral water, some medicine and clothes in it.

Youxi found her backpack at her original seat. She took off her contaminated protective clothing and the sweat-soaked clothes inside, changed into a waterproof and breathable long-sleeved sports suit, and put on a mask and a hat.

They determined the east, south, west and north according to the position of the sun. Then Youxi determined the location of the city based on the electronic map she had seen in the cockpit. They each ate something, replenished some water, and then set off.

Because they were tasked with bringing the seriously injured back to the rescue team, several classmates who were originally in a negative mood cheered up and cheered themselves up.

But Youxi had a vague feeling of uneasiness in her heart. Why didn't the rescue from the tower come, and why didn't they respond again?

After they arrived in the city, could they really find rescue for the plane?

But she did not voice out her anxieties.

Four hours later, after climbing a high sand dune, the dusty group finally saw the city's tall buildings in front of them.

This tourist city, famous for its beaches, deserts and tall buildings, was not far ahead of them.

But at the same moment, some sharp-eyed students discovered something unusual: black smoke was rising from many places in the city, and they could faintly hear the sounds of police cars and fire trucks.

What happened?

What happened?
