GOR Chapter 270 Part 2: Hijacking Event
A resigned and frustrated voice belonging to the captain came out through the intercom.
“All right! Just don’t hurt anyone. We will cooperate.”
The captain then slowly put down the intercom handset.
He turned to look at his two companions within the cockpit and said, “Sorry, we’ll have to do it according to the rules. We cannot provoke these terrorists. We need to prioritize the safety of the passengers.”
After pausing for a moment, he revealed a firm expression and said, “God bless us all. Later on, when I open the door, don’t do anything to resist. Do what you can to protect yourself and wait for a chance.”
He turned to his vice-captain and asked, “Has the hijack signal been sent?”
“It has been sent repeatedly.”
“Send it out once more,” said the captain with a sigh.
“The security box…” The co-pilot glanced at the captain.
There was a safety box within the cockpit. There were some weapons stored inside – although there was no gun inside, there were knives, ropes and handcuffs.
“We’ll wait it out and see how things goes first.”
The captain stood up and said to the vice-captain, “You drive. Make sure the flight is stable and maintain the current course.”
…
When the door of the cockpit was opened, the captain walked out to find a terrorist moving toward him. The terrorist pointed a gun to his head and dragged him to the side.
The captain did not resist and was dragged to a passenger seat. As he sat down, he maintained his posture where both his hands were placed on his head.
These crew members have all received professional training. In face of such an incident, they will not recklessly try to do something heroic. During the course of their professional training, they would be taught that doing so will only provoke the terrorists, leading to an even more terrible consequence.
The captain was handcuffed – the handcuffs were obtained from the corpse of one of the air marshals.
The female terrorist and one of her companions quickly entered the cockpit.
The vice-captain cooperated with them and did not resist. As for the co-pilot, he was chased out from the cockpit and was handcuffed to a passenger seat beside the captain.
To the vice-captain’s dismay, the terrorists knew what they were doing.
That was especially true of the female terrorist; she pointed her gun at the vice-captain’s head and asked him to surrender the safety box within the cockpit.
Clearly, they already knew that the safety box within the cockpit stored some weapons.
He helplessly brought out the safety box from the cabinet and handed it over.
The female terrorist opened it and glanced at its contents.
Next, her companion sat down on the captain’s seat.
Clearly, this fellow possessed some knowledge in piloting planes.
“From now on, this airplane is completely taken over,” the female terrorist said coldly. “I know that you have already sent out the alarm. However, from this moment onward, we will be maintaining radio silence as we fly. No matter what the other side says, do not reply! Do not reply unless I give the orders! Maintain your current course and keep the airplane steady.”
At that point, it was clear that the terrorist sitting beside him was also a pilot. The vice-captain was incapable of doing anything.
The female terrorist then walked out from the cockpit. She glanced at the sobbing flight attendants. Next, she hauled the chief flight attendant up and tossed her into a passenger seat.
“You have very good luck. Your captain values your life a lot. Right now, you should be thanking him and not your God.”
By then, the chief flight attendant was so terrified she no longer knew what was going on. She simply sat there and sobbed.
There was a glint in the female terrorist’s eyes as she moved over and picked up the broadcasting handset. She took a deep breath.
“Ladies and gentlemen.” The female terrorist’s voice came out through the broadcast system of the airplane and fell upon the ears of everyone there. “I am very sorry to inform everyone that there will be some adjustments to this flight plan. As of this moment, this airplane has been taken over by us. We are the mighty military defenders in the holy war. We will be taking over all the affairs that goes on inside this airplane. Yes, you may consider this as a hijacking.
“Now, I am going to announce several regulations. I hope that everyone will agree to follow them. I don’t like to threaten people a lot; so, I will only state this fact. Those who violate the regulations I put forward will be punished with death.
“First, everyone is to remain seated and to not move about. All activities within the airplane are temporarily halted. That includes the trip to the toilet!
“Second, any actions taken against my men, even verbal attacks, will be considered as a provocation, resulting in a death penalty for the one who did so.
“Third, all forms of communication will be confiscated. My companions will collect all communication devices – I ask that everyone cooperate. If someone attempts to conceal their communication device, that person will also face the death penalty.
“At the same time, I am sorry to inform you that your lunch and dinner are also temporarily cancelled.
“However, everyone may be at ease for now. Our goal is not to kill off the people within this airplane. As long as you obediently listen to our instructions and not invite any trouble for yourselves or others, once we get some affairs sorted out with the government, you fellows will be allowed to safely return home.
“Lastly, I wish you all a pleasant journey.”
After hanging up, a cruel smile was formed upon the female terrorist’s face.
…
One of the terrorists brought an empty bag and started walking through the corridor to collect the mobile phones and other communication devices belonging to the passengers. Mobile phones, PADs and other electronic devices were all confiscated by them.
Seeing the muzzle of the gun pointed at them, no passenger dared to resist and they all obediently handed over their devices.
Soon, the terrorist came to Chen Xiaolian’s row. Chen Xiaolian did not hesitate to toss the mobile phones belonging to both him and Roddy into the bag.
Sawakita Mitsuo and his team also did not hesitate to do the same.
Chen Xiaolian discussed the matter with Roddy through their guild channel for some time before turning to look at Sawakita Mitsuo.
