Chapter 315 - Fear and Despair (1/2)

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The din of men frantically trying to knock down the reinforced c.o.c.kpit door added to the mounting despair among the frightened pa.s.sengers. Over the last two decades, c.o.c.kpit doors had been manufactured to prevent unauthorized entry and were bullet-proofed. They were constructed with laminated armor and had multi-point strengthened deadbolts. It was next to impossible to breakthrough.

“Mr. Cui turned off the autopilot, and he’s diverted the plane off course to fly through the thunderstorm clouds. The aircraft will take severe damage if hit by lightning, hail or strong winds, and if the airframe or controls are damaged, that’ll be the end for us,” a crew member familiar with the situation explained, his face as white as a sheet and perspiring heavily.

As soon as he said that, the crew and pa.s.sengers seated close by paled, never thinking they’d be so close to death. The plane flew through a raging storm, pealing with thunder and the flashes of lightning—almost like a deathly dance with the devil himself, and one slip was all it took before he devoured them all.

“Step aside!”

Xiao Luo got up his seat and strode toward the c.o.c.kpit door with a purposeful gait.

“Yes, with more people, we have a better chance of ramming the door down!” the purser said, nodding with a glint of renewed hope in her eyes.

“You misunderstand me, I’m asking all of you to step aside,” Xiao Luo said.

“This…huh?”

Everyone looked shocked as they asked themselves exactly what plan this man had in his mind. Did he really think that he could knock down the c.o.c.kpit door all by himself?

“Listen to him, step aside!”

Tan Ningfu had an inexplicable trust in Xiao Luo, and she quickly helped to move the crowd away from the entryway to the c.o.c.kpit.

Xiao Luo gazed at the c.o.c.kpit door, then slowly channeled his Qi flow to his arms, fixing his eyes on two points. He breathed in deeply then blew out forcefully as he thrust both his palms against the reinforced c.o.c.kpit door.

Waves of energy surged back from the impact like a howling wind, sending the onlookers a step back.

BOOM!!!

The door was blown off from its frame and hurled into the c.o.c.kpit like it was. .h.i.t by a speeding train, and numerous instruments and operation b.u.t.tons in the c.o.c.kpit came into view.

“Holy cow! he blew open the c.o.c.kpit door all by himself!”

All the pa.s.sengers in the first-cla.s.s cabin and the flight attendants were startled, and their spirits were lifted, temporarily forgetting the dire situation they were in.

“Hahaha… brother, I love you so much! Hurry up, and let’s drag that sh*tfaced co-pilot out here and whack him to death!” w.a.n.g Yanzu cheered, and finally seeing a glimmer of hope, he was elated.

Xiao Luo instantly stepped into the c.o.c.kpit.

The captain was slumped on his seat, he had been battered and was drenched in blood, appearing to have been struck by a blunt object over the head. The co-pilot, Cui Jihou, an obese middle-aged man, was seated on the right pilot seat, looking stunned.

Xiao Luo grabbed Cui Jihou by his collar, lifted him from his seat like a puppy, and tossed him out of the c.o.c.kpit.

The hostile crowd immediately jumped on him and a.s.saulted him with countless kicks and punches.

The purser kept her cool, and sensibly stopped the crowd from beating up the man. She got in front of the co-pilot and said, “Stop hitting him, he’s the only one who knows how to fly this plane. If he’s injured, we won’t be able to make a safe landing!”
