Chapter 1343 - 1342: The Poison Pill Fails
Amidst the terrified gazes of the crowd, the purser finally pressed the button on the capsule, releasing the poison gas!What follows, as expected, is a human tragedy. The poison gas spreads, and passengers inhale it, collapsing one after another.
The crowd is in panic, with some instinctively turning to flee, attempting to distance themselves from the purser and the poison gas. It was an instinctual reaction, even though it was futile; without gas masks, they could not escape death.
The only survivor will be Lin Fan, who possesses the gas mask.
Logically, Lin Fan should be finding and wearing the gas mask immediately. Once the poison gas is released, he won’t have much time left; he must wear the gas mask within a minute, as within a minute, the poison gas will be enough to flood every corner of the plane, leaving no place unchecked.
However, Lin Fan did not run to find the gas mask; he calmly stood there, watching the purser’s performance quietly.
Just when everyone was terrified, something strange happened.
After the purser pressed the button, logically, the poison gas should have spewed out immediately, yet in reality, there was nothing!
The purser paused for a moment, then pressed the button again.
The capsule still showed no reaction.
The purser couldn’t help but press the button rapidly several times, but no matter how she pressed, the capsule showed no reaction, no poison gas was released, not even a puff.
The purser got anxious, threw the capsule on the ground, and stomped on it forcefully.
The crowd was aghast, thinking the capsule should activate now!
But then...
An awkward thing happened.
The capsule still showed no reaction, it was unclear what material it was made from, but even after being stomped on by the purser, it didn’t deform.
Seeing this, the crowd was stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment, What exactly is going on?
"Though we don’t know why, it seems the poison gas wasn’t released?"
"Malfunction?"
"Ah, no poison gas!"
The crowd finally realized it, despite not knowing why, the purser had somehow failed to release the poison gas, they were not going to die!
Joy, it was absolute joy.
The people began to show expressions of joyous surprise.
"Damn it!" the purser was furious and anxious, cold sweat appeared on her forehead, isn’t it true, at the critical moment, this capsule actually malfunctioned? It was infuriating!
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Purser, didn’t you say this thing came from the Military Youth Sixth Department, high-tech, right?"
Lin Fan’s words carried a hint of mockery.
Infuriated, the purser stomped on the capsule vigorously with her foot.
Lin Fan said, "Give it up, it’s useless now."
The purser looked up at Lin Fan in disbelief, "How did you know, does this have something to do with you? Did you tamper with it?"
She racked her brain trying to understand how Lin Fan could tamper with it, saying clearly Lin Fan never came into contact with her, there’s no way he could have known about the capsule’s use in advance as it was a secret weapon.
She could only think of one possibility, which is not only did Lin Fan know she had such a capsule, but Lin Fan also possessed one, having quietly swapped her original capsule with a defective one.
Otherwise, no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand why the capsule failed.
Yet, this only plausible guess sounded utterly fantastic; Lin Fan couldn’t possibly know about the capsule, let alone possess one.
Only Lin Fan himself knew the reason.
Lin Fan had just used a bit of luck.
How likely is it for this capsule, which would have killed all the passengers, to suddenly break down? What is the probability of this happening?
In this world, there are fundamentally impossible things, such as humans cannot fly without external help. Such situations don’t involve probability because they are fundamental.
Yet, if a non-flying human falls from a 30-story building, is it inevitable death? Not necessarily, they may survive or die, and this is called probability.
Probability is what we call luck.
If someone had enormously good luck, even if they accidentally fell from a 30-story building, they could miraculously survive.
Similarly, this capsule, while able to release deadly poison gas, could suddenly malfunction. This probability might be very, very small, but if your luck is extremely good, it might still happen.
As it happens, Lin Fan possesses top-notch luck.
Top-notch Koi Carp Luck!
Just now, Lin Fan activated his top-notch Koi Carp Luck, causing the deadly poison gas capsule to malfunction.
Indeed, Lin Fan did tamper with it, albeit using a method no one could ever guess.
Though everyone didn’t know the means Lin Fan employed, they all believed the capsule’s malfunction was related to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan saved them once again!
For a moment, everyone’s attitude toward Lin Fan turned to admiration; this young man was incredible!
After venting by stomping, the purser finally gave up in despair; she couldn’t compete against top-notch Koi Carp Luck, the luck seemed like the divine hand of a supreme creator that holds the fate of all beings.
If Lin Fan wanted people to live, they lived; if he wanted them dead, no one could survive.
"Mr. Lin, does the promise you made earlier still hold?" the purser asked, having lost hope and completely abandoned the capsule.
A worthy agent, she immediately shifted her strategy, at all costs, she had to complete her mission.
Lin Fan asked, "What promise?"
The purser replied, "You want to fight me, with one hand handicap, and if I defeat you, the situation will be under my control."
Lin Fan nodded, "It holds."
"I want to challenge you!" the purser said coldly.
The purser unexpectedly challenged Lin Fan, clearly at the end of her rope, she decided to go all out and face Lin Fan hand-to-hand; earlier, she had concerns about confronting Lin Fan, but now it was her only choice.
She had to defeat Lin Fan!
Lin Fan said, "Alright, if you defeat me, you’ll control the scene here, as long as it doesn’t endanger my personal safety, I won’t interfere."
The purser said, "You promised to fight with one hand, if you use both hands, it counts as your loss."
Lin Fan said, "Even if you kill me, I won’t use a second hand."
The purser sneered, "You said so yourself."
As she spoke, the purser threw aside a troublesome child and pressed forward toward Lin Fan with a knife in hand; she wanted to fight Lin Fan, perhaps she could defeat him!
If Lin Fan used both hands, she would be hesitant to challenge, but since Lin Fan would only use one hand, it was different; after weighing her options, she decided to give it a try, and if she accidentally won against Lin Fan, it would be a joyous surprise.
Seeing the two about to fight, the crowd stepped back to give them space.
A fierce battle is about to erupt!
