Chapter 494 – Survival! (1/2)
The plane is less than 100 meters from the water!
Although the pilot is trying to pull up the plane, it is not slowing down!
Dong Xuebing does not want to sit there and wait for his death. He pulled his oxygen mask off and unfastened his seatbelt before jumping up onto his seat. He stepped on the backrest of the seats in front and tried to get onto the aisle. The plane jolt, and he fell face-down on the aisle.
“Get back to your seats!”
“The plane is making an emergency landing! Don’t leave your seat!”
Two stewardesses shouted at Dong Xuebing and others who are trying to open the emergency exit doors.
Dong Xuebing ignored them and started running towards the door!
A few others are doing the same as none of them felt the plane could land safely. Everyone felt jumping off the plane is the best option now. But the plane is still almost 100 meters from the waters, and it is equivalent to more than ten stories high. They might not survive from the impact even if they land in the sea. However… there is still a slim chance of survival.
Bam! Bam!
A black person is using his shoulder to bang against the emergency exit!
One time! Two times! Three times! The door is not bulging! There’s no way they can escape!
“Hurry up!”
“There’s no more time! Break down the door!”
“We can’t open it! The door had malfunction!”
Dong Xuebing reached the exit and looked at the instructions written on the door before shouting. “Step aside!” He kicked the door with all his strength!
Bam!
The door is still locked!
A Japanese couple and a few middle-aged men are trying to open another exit door, but they also failed to open it! Dong Xuebing gave the door a few kicks and cursed. How is this still considered an emergency exit?! It can’t even be opened in an emergency! Dong Xuebing does not know if it is a malfunction or the aircrew had locked it. He looked out of the windows and knew there’s no more time!
Ten meters……
Five meters……
One meter……
Kaboom!
The cabin shook! Dong Xuebing and those who did not have their seatbelts on were flunked out!
The plane had landed! The pilot should be thinking of landing on the water to slow the plane before sliding onto the reef island!
Boom!
The luggage in the overhead compartment fell, and the plane felt like it’s going to break into pieces!
Dong Xuebing held on to a seat to steady himself. One second… two seconds… three seconds… a loud explosion happened! Before he died, he saw a fireball engulfed everyone in the cabin!
It’s pitch-black, and Dong Xuebing felt he had entered into a dream.
Dong Xuebing is very familiar with this feeling, as he knows he is dead. He did not feel any pain and died instantly.
The plane did not land successfully! It hit the reef island and exploded! The sea did not slow the plane down!
Damn! I cannot die like this!
BACK 60 Seconds!
“Argh!”
“It’s going to hit the water!”
Dong Xuebing felt a hint of giddiness and found himself back in his seat. His seatbelt is still fastened, and he is wearing the oxygen mask. He had returned to the moment before the crash!
Since the doors cannot be opened, then I shall break the windows!
Dong Xuebing did not wait and used his elbow to hit the window!
Bam! A crack immediately appears from the impact! Aircraft windows’ glass is less brittle compared to normal glass, but it can still be damaged!
Two hits!
Three hits!
Four hits!
The glass shattered!
Dong Xuebing immediately unfastened his seatbelt and grabbed an iPad from a piece of luggage, fallen off the overhead cabin. He used it to hit against the second layer of glass. Crack! The glass shattered from one impact. He quickly cleans the remaining glass shards sticking from the sides of the windows and sticks his head out. Shoosh! A strong suction almost tore his head off his neck!
Pain!
Dong Xuebing could not even breathe!
Dong Xuebing clenched his teeth and tried to squeeze his body out through the small window. But his life jacket is too big, and he had no choice but to remove it before trying again. Luckily, he is not fat and could climb out of the window!
When Dong Xuebing finally got half of his body out of the window, he was blown off by the strong winds!
Swoosh!
Dong Xuebing felt the world is spinning!
The burning wings, aircraft body, sky, sea, etc., are spinning around Dong Xuebing. He could not even make out his body’s position and can only feel he is falling. This is a terrible feeling worse than death, and he has difficulties breathing!
OK!
Dong Xuebing felt it’s time and shouted STOP!
His thinking is simple. He will use STOP to stop time and freeze himself in midair to lessen the impact of falling. After that, he will use STOP again to land safely into the waters.
