Chapter 662 Helplessness
Chapter 662 Helplessness
No?
Upon hearing those two words, the tattooed man's eyes widened. Pointing at himself, he said, "Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm weak? Then I'll show you what I'm capable of. I hope the little beauty won't beg for mercy later."
After saying that, he pounced on Rasfil, pressing his entire body against Rasfil.
Smelling the tattooed man's scent, Rasfil frowned deeply, her eyes filled with disgust. But she had no choice; she could only play along now.
"That guy needs to hurry up, or I'm going to die here."
Just then, a knock came at the bathroom door, instantly extinguishing the tattooed man's desire. His eyes gradually turned cold, and he gritted his teeth, turning around to shout menacingly, "Who is it? You bastard, can't you see I'm busy?"
"Come out for a moment, it's very urgent," Jiang Nian's voice came from the doorway.
Something extremely important?
Hearing this, the tattooed man had no choice but to open the door, while tightly gripping the detonator in his hand.
"Who is it? If you can't give me a reason, I'll definitely throw you off the plane."
The moment the tattooed man opened the bathroom door, he was startled to see a fist looming large in front of him.
"Go to hell!"
Jiang Nian punched the tattooed man squarely on the forehead, then pounced on him, pinning him to the ground and pinning him down.
"Kid, are you tired of living? You dare hit me?"
The tattooed man held a detonator in one hand and shouted loudly.
Jiang Nian continued to punch him, saying, "I don't want to die, but I just want to hit you. What can you do about it?"
The tattooed man gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Nian, never expecting anyone to be so audacious. He raised the detonator and roared, "Do you want everyone to die with you?"
Unfortunately, Jiang Nian wasn't afraid of him at all, and sneered, "Die? So what if we all die together!"
The tattooed man stared at Jiang Nian in shock, never expecting him to say such a thing—did this kid really want to drag everyone down with him?
"Kid, are you crazy? You want to drag everyone down with you? Men, grab this kid, or I'll kill you all!"
The tattooed man thought to himself that as long as he shouted like that, these passengers would be afraid of dying and they would swarm him and pin that brat down.
However, the tattooed man was dumbfounded the next second. He shouted for a long time, but no one came forward.
"You, you all don't want to live anymore? You're willing to risk your lives for a little money?" the tattooed man continued to shout at the top of his lungs.
Unfortunately, these people completely ignored him and continued to watch coldly. Some even mocked him, saying, "Robbers, you're the ones who're in trouble now. You're all going to be finished soon."
"Robbers, you'd better prepare yourselves to go to jail and stay there."
Hearing these words, the tattooed man's expression grew even more ferocious: "Looks like you all want to die, huh? Fine, then you'll all die with me!"
As he spoke, he raised the detonator high in his hand. Everyone was still very tense; if the bomb wasn't cleared properly, they could really be killed.
"Press it, press it down and let me see."
Jiang Nian's hands never stopped moving from beginning to end, and in a short while, the tattooed man was beaten until his head looked like a pig's.
In the end, the tattooed man pressed the button, and the detonator emitted a terrifying light.
Upon seeing this light, everyone's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Unfortunately, one second, two seconds, several seconds passed, but the explosion never came.
They were finally relieved: "Hahaha, robber, where's your bomb? It's not moving at all. You were just playing a trick on us."
"We're finally not going to die, that's great."
"Damn robbers, we must shoot them all."
"Impossible! Why didn't the bomb explode?" The tattooed man was also filled with disbelief, gritting his teeth and shouting loudly.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he shouted, the bomb remained unresponsive.
Jiang Nian looked at the tattooed man with disdain: "So even your Black Spider stuff has fakes. I bet all your bombs were duds. You were just trying to scare us."
After saying that, Jiang Nian punched the robber so hard that he knocked him unconscious.
He finally felt relieved and collapsed to the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief.
I never imagined that something like this would happen just from taking a plane.
Next time Jiang Nian is determined to take a boat, it's safer to do so.
"Great! We won! We're saved! Hero!"
"Hero, you are a superhero!"
Everyone cheered, looking at Jiang Nian with adoration. The chubby guy in first class chuckled and said to the person next to him, "See that? That's my boss. Let me tell you, my boss isn't just anyone, he..."
Rasfil then came out of the bathroom, already dressed, and walked up to Jiang Nian, extending his hand to him.
"Get up, what you did just now was very cool."
Jiang Nian glanced at Rasfil, then said with a hint of regret, "Actually, you looked very beautiful just now, it's just a pity we can't see it now."
Hearing Jiang Nian's words, Rasfil was secretly pleased, then rolled his eyes at him and said, "Heh, want to see? No way."
Seeing the two bickering, the passengers present exchanged smiles.
However, just as they were about to return to their seats, the plane suddenly began to shake violently.
"What's going on? Weren't we safe already? Why is the plane still shaking?"
"Oh my god, this is terrible, what on earth is going on?"
Sitting in the cockpit, the captain stared in shock at the flashing red light on the control panel, his eyes filled with seriousness.
"What, what's going on? Calling headquarters, the robbers here have been dealt with, but my machines have malfunctioned."
"Calling headquarters, calling headquarters."
At this moment, the flight attendant quickly picked up the microphone and said to everyone, "Please calm down. There is a problem with our plane. We will deal with it immediately. Please do not get agitated."
"What kind of crappy plane is this? We just dealt with the hijackers, and now you're telling us the plane has a problem? Are we destined to die here today?"
"Exactly! How could your plane do this? You're not happy that we didn't die, are you?"
Jiang Nian's brows furrowed tightly as he turned to look at Rasfil beside him.
Rasfil, who had just regained some color in his face, turned deathly pale again in an instant, and subconsciously grabbed Jiang Nian's hand: "Sir, what happened?"
Jiang Nian smiled wryly and said, "It's probably a problem with the equipment on the plane. Our commotion just now was quite loud, which probably affected the equipment." Jiang Nian was right; the commotion had indeed caused problems with the plane, and the problem was rapidly worsening.
At the airport headquarters, everyone applauded excitedly when they heard the captain's first message. But halfway through the applause, they heard the second half of the message, and instantly everyone's expression froze.
"Stay calm, stay calm, stabilize the plane first, can you still hold on?"
"It's out of control, the plane is spiraling out of control," the captain said with a wry smile.
"Where are your maintenance personnel? Have them go up and check it right away." Normally, there should be someone on board who knows maintenance.
But this plane was really unlucky; they didn't have any maintenance personnel with them when they took off.
"Calling headquarters, we don't have any maintenance personnel with us this time. Can we make an emergency landing?"
Since repairs are no longer possible, the only option is to land immediately. However, flight paths are fixed, and an emergency landing requires considering whether there are other aircraft nearby.
In this situation, headquarters needs to investigate first.
"Try to stay calm. I'll call the nearest airport right now."
Stay calm? Can I stay calm?
The captain's face was extremely grim. Helpless, he could only force a bitter smile and desperately grip the control stick to buy time.
The plane was in great danger at this point, constantly shaking. Rasfield even threw himself into Jiang Nian's arms, as it was impossible to stand steadily in such a turbulent situation.
"What do we do? Are we really going to die here?"
Jiang Nian held Rasfil tightly, her mind completely free of any distractions.
"Don't worry, we won't die here. You're still so young, you have a lot of life ahead of you to experience."
Rasfil nodded slightly, leaning his head comfortably against Jiang Nian: "Even if I sacrifice myself, it's alright, at least I can still meet you..."
Hearing Rasfil's words, Jiang Nian paused for a moment, then patted her shoulder and said, "Although I admit I am very handsome, I will not die with you. As long as I am here, this plane will not crash!"
Rasfil looked up at Jiang Nian curiously: "The plane is in such a state, do you still have any solutions?"
Jiang Nian smiled slightly: "You should sit here and rest. I'll go out for a bit and be right back."
By this time, the plane was in complete chaos, with everyone crying and screaming. Several flight attendants were also pale-faced; they knew they hadn't brought a maintenance technician with them for takeoff.
"Please remain calm and do not make the plane more turbulent. We are working on a solution, and everything will be fine."
The flight attendant remained professional and immediately addressed everyone via the intercom.
Upon hearing the flight attendant's words, some men shouted, "You won't let anything happen to us? Are you kidding us? If it weren't for that guy, we'd be floating somewhere in the sky right now."
"Exactly, you staff members are completely useless. All you do is tell us to be quiet. We can be quiet, but can you handle this?"
Hearing this, the flight attendant's face turned grim, yet filled with helplessness. It was true, but it had nothing to do with them. Who knew there would be a group of hijackers on board? This kind of thing hadn't happened in a long time.
The argument continued, and even seemed to be escalating. Faced with this situation, Jiang Nian stood up and said loudly to everyone, "Please be quiet and listen to me."
After what just happened, Jiang Nian's influence was still very strong. Even some of the emotionally charged men quieted down and stared at Jiang Nian.
Once everyone had quieted down, Jiang Nian said loudly, "Don't get excited yet, things aren't that hopeless. I'll go into the cockpit later to try and repair the plane, but you must all remain quiet while I'm in. Otherwise, if the plane shakes even more, even God can't help it."
"Can you also repair airplanes?"
"Are you also a pilot?"
Some people looked at Jiang Nian with curiosity.
Jiang Nian smiled slightly and shook his head: "No, I'm not a captain, I'm just an ordinary maintenance worker, but I can give it a try."
After saying that, Jiang Nian walked directly to the cockpit, while a passing flight attendant looked at him with a hesitant expression.
They knew there was so much to learn to become an aircraft mechanic. How could someone so young know this?
The captain was extremely anxious and desperate; he was truly at his wit's end as the plane's loss of control worsened.
"Headquarters, is it possible to make an emergency landing now?"
"You can make an emergency landing. The flight path has been arranged. Begin the emergency landing immediately. Is your aircraft in good working order?"
"It's getting a bit out of control, so please have the surrounding planes leave immediately," the captain said with a wry smile.
He felt he was losing control of the plane.
"Hold on, you absolutely must hold on, you can't be hurt. We'll contact the rescue team right away."
The people at headquarters immediately became worried and hurriedly shouted.
"I can only do my best."
As the captain spoke, he kept operating the controls in the cockpit, but at this point most of the aircraft's functions had failed, making it impossible to operate.
"Call headquarters. Most of the equipment here has failed. Prepare for the worst."
Worst-case scenario preparation?
In an instant, everyone at headquarters felt heavy-hearted, and each person instinctively straightened up, their eyes red.
If this plane crashes, it could cost more than a hundred lives.
Just then, the flight attendant's voice came through the intercom in the cockpit.
"Pilot! Pilot! Someone outside says they can repair the plane. Requesting entry!"
Aircraft repair?
The captain's face lit up with joy, and he quickly opened the cockpit door: "Come in quickly, come in quickly. I don't remember we called the maintenance crew when we took off."
The flight attendant said somewhat awkwardly, "This gentleman isn't a maintenance technician; he just said he knew a little about it, so I let him in."
"Not a mechanic?" The captain's face changed instantly. He gritted his teeth and said, "What time is it now? You're still in the mood to joke with me? We're all doomed!"
Just as the flight attendant was about to say something, Jiang Nian stepped forward and said, "Who says only maintenance technicians can fix airplanes? Isn't this kind of small thing something anyone can do?"
Just have a hand?
The captain and the chief flight attendant were stunned and stared blankly at Jiang Nian.
"Sir, please get out of here right now. This is no joke. If we can't control this, we'll all die."
The captain was in despair—how could someone who says "anyone with hands can do it" possibly understand airplanes?
Aircraft maintenance is extremely difficult, far more complex than it seems. Every maintenance technician requires rigorous training. (End of Chapter)
