Chapter 429 - 203: Seeking Rescue
"Who are you? Why did you suddenly burst in here?"
Because the introduction of the black-haired stewardess was missing in this round, Bolton still didn’t know his motive, remaining very alert.
Gu Ji continued to explain using his airborne troop identity, and brought up Rooney.
With the endorsement of the air marshal’s trust, Bolton finally relaxed, then looked down at the aircraft’s throttle lever. Just as he was about to adjust the plane’s power.
Rumbling...
The familiar violent shaking, followed by banging sounds from the right wing, and as expected, the plane lost its climbing force, swaying left and right as it began to fall.
Bolton was startled, his eyelids twitching in fear.
"FL250! Watch the power on engine 2!"
Gu Ji reminded, swiftly reaching out to take the paper map from Bolton’s lap, "Radar navigation has failed, we need to find a safe place for an emergency landing."
"You..."
His operation left Bolton dumbfounded – a man in his fifties or sixties handling everything more calmly and skillfully than him, a professional pilot. He quickly identified the issue with the flight computer, and hardly before he finished speaking, a serious warning came from the left engine 2.
Gu Ji had already located the QRH manual, finding the "Dual Engine Failure" emergency procedures, directly skipping the engine restart, keeping the aircraft at the optimal lift-to-drag ratio, flying at green dot speed, ready to make a nearby emergency landing.
Bolton attempted to restart the engines, with predictably futile results.
Everything seemed to go according to Gu Ji’s instructions.
Like;
He could predict the future!
This round, Gu Ji still opted to make an emergency landing on that grassland.
The reason being, he had lost directional markers and without strong computing power, could only rely on the remaining knowledge and experience in his mind to direct Bolton.
And experience is precisely what’s most valuable in an air crash.
Keep in mind, every emergency landing is nothing short of a race with death, identical simulations can produce different outcomes, let alone landing in two different places, which would be like gambling with one’s life all over again.
Gu Ji had no time and dared not take such a gamble.
Thus, even at the risk of falling into the Sinaloa Group’s territory again, he had to land there.
Having learned from the lesson of excessive airspeed in the second round, Gu Ji aligned the plane with the headwind in advance, using wind resistance to slow down, then deployed full flaps, activated APU, extended the speed brakes, and kept making turns to elongate the ground glide distance.
Although the APU was still damaged, fortunately, this round finally did not see the left wing break and crash into the cabin.
"Whew... I can’t believe it! We actually made it, Mr. Yassen!!"
Bolton’s eyes widened, grabbing Gu Ji’s shoulders in excitement.
Even though Gu Ji had already experienced it once, he still couldn’t suppress his rapidly pounding heart.
A spark came from the central control, Bolton hurriedly shut off the main engine switches and APU switch, notifying the cabin to prepare for emergency evacuation procedures, "Mr. Yassen, let’s leave the plane quickly too!"
"Wait a moment."
Gu Ji unfastened his seatbelt, drew a Glock 17-4 from behind his waist, and slightly opened a crack in the cockpit door.
This move startled Bolton, "You, you... what are you going to do..."
"Once the plane lands and passengers escape outside, the VX nerve agent bomb loses most of its effectiveness. So, the terrorists will definitely take advantage of the chaos to try to seize the police gun in the business class."
Hardly had he finished speaking, through the crack, Bolton indeed saw a Mexican man in a black shirt, with a head of tousled curls, walking against the crowd into the business class, looking up and down, searching for Officer Rooney’s body.
Just as he lowered his head, bang! Bang!
From behind the door crack, Gu Ji raised the pistol and quickly pulled the trigger, all bullets precisely hitting the drug dealer Sara’s chest from a distance of more than ten meters.
Under Bolton’s shocked gaze and the cabin passengers’ screams, he kicked open the door, "swoosh," quickly crossed the aisle, raised his gun again, aimed at the dealer’s head, bang!
Sara fell with a look of resentment, her right hand that had been reaching for her pocket naturally dropped.
Gu Ji, eyes warning of the front, squatted down to search the body quickly with his hands.
Bolton stood petrified behind him, never having seen such a straightforward method of killing, but recalling Gu Ji’s airborne troop identity, perhaps he was even a retired member of some special force in Brazil, "Thank God, the terrorists are finally dealt with..."
"Don’t shout too soon, there’s still one more."
Getting up, Gu Ji calmly and coldly stowed the VX nerve agent bomb in his pocket.
[Objective: Survive for 30 minutes accomplished!]
[Please choose your reward!]
[Tactical Specialization (Medium)] or [Strength Enhancement (Medium)]
He decisively chose the first option.
Previously, he had seen this mark at Laird Airport’s checkpoint, perfectly fitting the commander role.
Blue [Tactical Proficiency (Medium)]: Increases tactical level by 25%, reduces tactical planning time by 31%, enhances tactical surprise rate by 17%, and increases enemy tactical counteraction by 14%.
[New Objective: Contact Panama Airlines, obtain external support!]
With the mark added, Gu Ji felt his law enforcement tactical evaluation rose another level.
He edged along the business seat, cautiously approaching the partition door of the economy class, peeking through the curtain gap, observing the movements in the economy class.
Betty and the buzz-cut flight attendant stood by the emergency exit, evacuating passengers.
The woman with sunglasses was indeed hiding in the crowd, occasionally glancing towards the business class, seemingly planning to linger until the end to gather information.
