Chapter 476 - 378: Airplane Terror
On the flight from Bovangpo City to Chongnuo City.
Lu Ping and Meng Yu were watching the scenery outside the fully transparent aircraft cabin with great interest.
By the time human technology has developed to this stage, vehicles, residences, and household items made entirely of carbon fiber tempered glass are commonplace.
However, Lu Ping and his wife have always been relatively frugal, and their mindset is not so trendy, so they haven’t purchased many of these things at home.
The fully transparent cabin is curious for those riding in it for the first time, and everything seems interesting.
But for people who frequently take such flights, it’s not so novel, and each one closes the cabin doors to prepare for rest after boarding the plane.
The vast majority of people on the alien star are Star Core Warriors, and they fall asleep quickly. The plane had just taken off when Lu Ping and his wife already heard a symphony of light snoring.
"Old Lu, you should take a rest too. Following that kid Lu Lin these days and playing all kinds of thrilling games has worn you out."
"That’s the sleep mask, right? Remember to put it on."
Meng Yu yawned as she spoke. These days they had a great time with Lu Lin on the Exotic Battlefield. Although they broadened their horizons, since both of them are regular humans, they were starting to feel a bit worn out.
"Alright, I’ll get a blanket to cover you."
Just as Lu Ping reached out to grab a blanket, he noticed a man from a nearby seat standing up and asking the flight attendant for the location of the washroom.
Judging by his appearance, it was definitely his first time on a plane.
Lu Ping didn’t pay it much attention since there’s nothing funny about this sort of thing; anyone traveling might encounter an unfamiliar environment.
However, there was something about the man’s demeanor and appearance that Lu Ping inexplicably disliked.
Putting on their sleep masks and covering themselves with a blanket, Lu Ping and Meng Yu quickly fell asleep.
They had no idea how long they had been asleep when they were awakened by a noisy commotion.
Upon seeing the source of the commotion, Lu Ping’s eyes immediately narrowed.
It was the same man who couldn’t find the washroom.
At this moment, the man had two transparent liquid bombs wrapped around his wrist, and he was speaking excitedly to the nearby flight attendant.
"Why?! Why?!"
"We all bought tickets to sit on this plane, so why can’t I enter the front first-class cabin?"
"I’m telling you, I want to sit in first-class, and if you won’t let me..."
"Then we’ll all sit together in the Self-Detonation Cabin here."
The man was agitated, his hair in a mess as he shouted manically.
The well-trained flight attendant immediately recognized what item the man was holding in his hand.
A liquid bomb.
The power of this thing wasn’t particularly strong.
But used on a plane, it wasn’t small either.
"Sir, please calm down. We can discuss the matter of the first-class cabin, but you bought a standard class ticket. If you want to sit in first-class, we need to contact the headquarters customer service department first."
The flight attendant attempted to buy time.
Although they weren’t sure if this would be effective.
Normal passengers wouldn’t prepare for a hijacking before boarding a plane.
On a whim, dissatisfied with flight service, it was unlikely someone could suddenly pull out a liquid bomb from their person.
"Discuss?"
"The same old deceitful line, nonsense."
"I’m telling you, I’ve had enough of you women."
"Every day, every moment, you’re deceiving me."
"Today, I’m going to blow you all up."
The man with the messy hair changed his tone again.
He was just talking about the first-class cabin switch, but in the blink of an eye, the topic shifted to women.
Even he didn’t know what he was saying anymore.
But he must have had a purpose for acting this way.
One of the younger female flight attendants signaled to a passenger sitting behind the messy-haired man; that passenger wore a white shirt, looking very much like an urban white-collar worker on a business trip.
In fact, he was a plainclothes security guard on the plane specially prepared for emergencies.
The plainclothes security guard was a Level 3 Peak Star Core Warrior, and dealing with this clearly deranged man was incredibly easy.
"Sir, what will it take for you to forgive us? Surely you wouldn’t want me to kneel and apologize to you?"
The flight attendant who had signaled the security guard suddenly stood up and said.
The messy-haired man immediately brightened up, and now he had another reason to stall for a while.
"Alright, okay."
"Kneel down right now, bow three times to me, and say you were wrong, and I’ll put down the bomb."
The young flight attendant’s eyes dulled briefly as if hesitating.
"What are you thinking? Wasn’t this your proposed solution? What, have you regretted it now?"
"If you’ve regretted it, then let’s just blow ourselves up together, hahaha..."
The young flight attendant seemed to waver slightly, and as the man said this, she looked ready to kneel.
Right at that moment.
The plainclothes security, a Third Level Star Core Warrior sitting not far behind the messy-haired man, suddenly sprang into action.
With both arms tightly wrapped around the man’s shoulders, the security guard forcefully kneed upward.
Before the messy-haired man could react, his body went limp, collapsing directly under the control of the plainclothes security.
"Good."
The passengers, who had been too nervous to speak earlier, couldn’t help cheering when they saw how easily the messy-haired man was subdued.
Lu Ping, who had just woken up, couldn’t help but have a gleam of admiration in his eyes.
Just that single move was impossible without a year or two of training in the army.
Seeing the troublemaking lunatic finally subdued, the passengers on the plane all breathed a sigh of relief, and applause and cheers echoed throughout.
Understandably, most of the passengers on this plane were regular people because high-level warriors were either off on the Exotic Battlefield honing their skills, could fly and teleport themselves, or were students with not much strength.
This Third Level plainclothes security being able to suddenly subdue the guy ensured everyone’s safety.
The plainclothes security heard the applause and cheers but said nothing more, standing in place and apologizing to the surrounding passengers.
"Sorry everyone, that was our mistake, and after the plane lands, we’ll be the first to..."
"Whoosh!"
A flash of black light whipped past.
The plainclothes security, who had just been apologizing to everyone, suddenly had a small finger-sized hole open up in the center of his forehead.
A line of blood was drawn to the top of the cabin’s transparent carbon fiber tempered glass.
There was a hint of disbelief in the eyes of the security officer.
He didn’t understand.
Why did he suddenly die even though he had already subdued the criminal?
"Bang."
Not until the plainclothes security officer’s corpse hit the ground heavily did everyone in the cabin react.
The flight attendant’s scream.
The passengers’ panicked shouts.
The earth-shattering cries of children.
Suddenly resonated in the transparent cabin as if a perfect orchestration had occurred.
"Whoosh!"
Another faint sound rang out.
The leader among the flight attendants also had a blood hole appear on her forehead.
Her eyes instantly dulled, and there was no longer a shred of energy in her body.
She collapsed backward helplessly.
As if the pause button had been pressed.
The cabin suddenly became quiet.
Everyone’s eyes turned toward the tail of the cabin.
A flight attendant in a red half-skirt slowly stood up from the back row attendants’ seat, with a slight smile on her face.
In her hand, she held a black composite crossbow.
"Everyone, please be quiet; you are too noisy."
The flight attendant’s gentle voice echoed, yet it didn’t evoke a sense of beauty.
The panic-stricken passengers slowly sat down, and no one dared to utter another word.
This was all too bizarre today; they were merely on an airplane, how could they be so unlucky to encounter such a thing.
"Xiao Mei, what do you mean by this."
The flight attendant standing in the front couldn’t help but ask. She seemed calm, but her constantly trembling voice betrayed her inner tension.
"You should not speak."
Xiao Mei said calmly, holding the crossbow.
That flight attendant wanted to say more but held back forcibly.
The precedent of the leader’s incident was right in front of her, she feared that if she spoke another word, it would provoke Xiao Mei’s attack.
This person, she indeed dares to kill.
Xiao Mei held the crossbow and walked forward slowly.
In between, another plainclothes security officer wanted to stop Xiao Mei’s actions.
But before he could take any action, just by glancing in Xiao Mei’s direction, a short, metal crossbow arrow flew by, and a new blood hole appeared on the plainclothes security officer’s forehead.
In less than a minute, two plainclothes security officers died, and one flight attendant leader died.
The cabin was silent; everyone feared that the flight attendant, Xiao Mei, would point the crossbow at them.
A faint smile surfaced on Xiao Mei’s face as she walked forward.
Suddenly, she arrived in front of Lu Ping and Meng Yu.
She smiled at the two and gently asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, are you satisfied with Dongling Airlines’ service?"
When had Meng Yu ever encountered such a thing?
Even back on Saturn, when held hostage, the robbers had promised that as long as the ransom was paid, they would not trouble them.
But now, looking at the young and delicate-faced flight attendant in front of him, with her light and gentle voice, Meng Yu seemed to see a terrifying demon, his teeth constantly colliding, unable to utter a word.
Xiao Mei smiled again and then turned her head to Lu Ping.
"Sir, are you satisfied with Dongling Airlines’ service?"
Lu Ping remained silent, just looking at the flight attendant, Xiao Mei, in front of him.
His heart was neither sad nor happy.
"Are you two esteemed passengers not speaking because you’re dissatisfied with our service?"
"Please cooperate, providing passengers with a better flying experience has always been Dongling Airlines’ policy. If there are any areas where you two are dissatisfied, please be sure to let me know."
As she spoke, Xiao Mei straightened up and pointed the crossbow at Lu Ping’s forehead.
"Anyway, we won’t be making improvements."
Everyone was frightened by Xiao Mei’s attitude.
They trembled at the atmosphere where people continuously died on-site, yet they felt a bit fortunate.
Luckily, this flight attendant, Xiao Mei, didn’t target them.
Lu Ping slowly closed his eyes and then opened them again.
"Miss, why are you doing this?"
"Why?"
"Hehehe, sir, what you said is quite amusing. I merely want to ask if you are satisfied with our company’s service, why do you say I’m doing this?"
"Isn’t it just to hope you’ll provide us some valuable feedback, so we can make improvements?"
After saying this, Xiao Mei’s expression suddenly changed, becoming icy and stern.
"Or, sir, do you want to die?"
As Xiao Mei spoke, she applied pressure with her hand, and the tip of the crossbow arrow pressed against Lu Ping’s forehead.
At this moment.
A figure suddenly appeared in the cabin.
Before Xiao Mei could react, that figure approached her like a phantom, and grabbed her throat, pinning her head to the top of the cabin.
"Lu, Lu Lin?"
An unbelievable look appeared in Xiao Mei’s eyes.
He hadn’t imagined that Lu Lin would arrive so quickly.
"Hehe."
Lu Lin chuckled slightly, not giving Xiao Mei any chance to speak, his spiritual strength activated, invading Xiao Mei’s consciousness universe.
Indeed.
This Xiao Mei was no longer human, or rather, she had long been a puppet controlled by the Soul Controlling Clan.
