Chapter 492 – Air Crash!

Afternoon. 3 pm.

Tokyo international airport. Dong Xuebing boarded flight J736 after getting his boarding pass.

Dong Xuebing’s seat is by the windows, and he placed his luggage in the overhead compartment before fastening his seatbelt.

After a while, a middle-aged Japanese man sat beside him.

Most people on board this flight are Japanese.

Liu Chenlong had booked this flight for Dong Xuebing in Tokyo. This is a Japanese airline and flies direct to Beijing from Tokyo. It’s not a returning flight from a Chinese airline, and most of the passengers are Japanese going to China for work or holidays. There are some Caucasians on board, and Dong Xuebing could not understand a word. He felt bored and closed his eyes to take a nap.

Ring… ring… ring… Dong Xuebing’s phone rang.

Oh, I had forgotten to switch off my phone.

Although the plane had not departed, it is not right for him to use a mobile phone. Dong Xuebing does not want to answer, but it was Xie Huilan. He hesitated for a while and answered.

“Hello, Huilan.”

“Where are you?”

“Haha… I just boarded my flight and should be back this evening.”

“You are always trying to be special. Everyone from the Investment Promotion Agency had returned. Why are you still there?”

“Ah, something cropped up at noon and caused some delays. I also want to return early. Alright. I will be back at our County before 8 pm.”

“Ok. Come and see me once you are back.”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“How long are you going to hide Yunxuan’s pregnancy from me?! When are you going to tell me? Huh?!”

Damn! You know about it now, and what else can I say? Dong Xuebing asked timidly. “How did you find out? Who told you?” Although Dong Xuebing knows he cannot hide this from Xie Huilan, he still wants to drag it as long as possible. Although the three of them had an agreement, pregnancy is still a sensitive topic. He doesn’t know how to tell Huilan as he is scared things might change.

Xie Huilan calmly replied. “Wait. Someone wants to speak to you.”

A few seconds later, Qu Yunxuan answered. “Xiao Bing.”

Dong Xuebing is sweating. “Aunt Xuan? Why are you with Huilan?”

“Oh, I arrived yesterday. Why didn’t you tell me that you are going to Japan? You want to get a beating from me?! Haha… I am at Huilan’s apartment in the quarters.”

“Err… what are you two doing?”

“Watching TV, listening to music, and nothing much.”

“How is our baby?”

“He is fine. Haha… I can feel his kicks now.”

Suddenly, an air stewardess said something to Dong Xuebing in English. But she was speaking too fast, and he did not catch it. She should be asking him to stop using the phone. He quickly said. “The plane is flying soon. I will look for you all once I’m back.”

“Ok. Come back early. I am waiting.”

After hanging up, Dong Xuebing switches off his phone, and the stewardess left after rolling her eyes at him.

Aunt Xuan and Sister Xie are together now. Although Dong Xuebing could not hear anything weird from their phone call earlier, he is still worried.

Five minutes…

Ten minutes…

Twenty minutes….

The air stewardess announced in Japanese and English to ask the passengers to buckle their seatbelts as the plane is departing.

After a while, the plane shook and left the runway. The runway becomes smaller, and Dong Xuebing closed his eyes to catch a short nap. He still has lots to do when he is back.

Some time passed.

Dong Xuebing woke up and looked out of the window. He can see the ocean outside, and they should have left Japan airspace. He looked at his watch and noticed an hour had passed.

Only one hour had passed, and he wonders if he should continue with his nap.

Suddenly, there was a serious of violent turbulence!

Dong Xuebing frowned and thought nothing about it. Small planes tend to shake more in turbulence, and it’s nothing serious. It will end after a while, and he is going to continue with his nap.

The turbulent stopped and started again! This time, it felt stronger!

Other than take-off and landing, the plane should be shaking up and down. But this time, it is shaking from its front and back. Dong Xuebing felt his body leaning forward suddenly. If he had not worn his seatbelt, he would have fallen out of his seat. Not only Dong Xuebing’s face changed, but the other passengers also started to panic. Some Japanese passengers started asking the stewardess what’s wrong. The pilot announced in English and Japanese, saying the plane was experiencing some turbulence, and asked the passengers not to worry. But Dong Xuebing saw the stewardesses rushing up and down anxiously, and he knows it might not be so simple.

Let’s hope it’s not some birds that crashed into the plane’s engine or engine failure.

Dong Xuebing has such thoughts because of the recent air crashes.

People say flying is the safest mode of transportation. But when an accident happens, aircraft passengers are the most dangerous!

The shaking continues and is getting stronger!

The passengers were panicking and grabbed onto their armrests. No one dares to make any noise, and it’s eerily quiet in the cabin!

One second….

Five seconds….

Ten seconds….

Boom! There was a loud explosion on the right-wing!

The engine had burst out in flames!

Damn! Dong Xuebing’s heart almost stopped when he saw the engine on fire. Is the plane going to crash?

“Ahhh!!!!”

The passengers started crying and screaming!

The stewardesses’ face changed and quickly shouted something to the passengers. It should be something about fastening their seatbelts!

Swoosh! The oxygen masks fell from the overhead compartment!

Before any flights take off, the stewardess and screens will show the pre-flight safety demonstration. Even if the passengers did not notice it, they should have seen it in the movies. Dong Xuebing’s first reaction is not to grab the oxygen mask. Two words come into his mind. I’m dead! The oxygen masks have been deployed, and this symbolizes “everyone is dead in this accident.”

The plane started to dive!

Dong Xuebing did not care about others and wore the oxygen mask. He also took out the lifejacket from under his seat and wore it!

Mother f**ker!

Why am I so unlucky to encounter such things?!

The cabin is in chaos. The pilots are repeating their announcements about wearing the oxygen mask and life jackets. Dong Xuebing could hear something about engine failure, and the plane will make an emergency landing. But from the flight’s current situation, the pilot seems to have lost control of the plane. The plane is diving at a 45 degrees angle. How are they going to land? It’s the ocean under them!

2000 meters….

1,600 meters….

1,300 meters….

The plane is losing altitude rapidly!

Dong Xuebing looks out of the window and saw a small island. Rather than calling it a small island, it should be a patch of coral reef, and there are no trees on it. The plane had tilted to one side and was about to make an emergency landing on the island or the sea near it. But the chance of the plane landing safely is almost zero. All the passengers, including Dong Xuebing, did not harbor any hopes.

This is the end!

Dong Xuebing’s hands turned cold, but his expression remained calm.

Death? Dong Xuebing had experienced death too many times. He was shot by bullets more than a dozen times, but this time… he felt his end is near. Emergency landing should not succeed! Jump out of the plane? He knows he cannot survive in the open seas for too long. Furthermore, he will die from the impact if he jumps out of the plane from this height. The plane is more than 100 meters from the sea! His BACK cannot turn back time to one hour before, and he only has slightly more than ten minutes of power left. No matter what he does, he will still die in the end!

Some passengers had unbuckled their seatbelts and rushed to the emergency doors. They cannot jump off the plane now, but they can jump when the plane is about to touch the water. The survival rate should be higher.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Five to six passengers started banging on the emergency exit! They want to escape from the plane!

A stewardess quickly went over to stop them. She mumbled something in Japanese and stopped them from opening the door. In such a situation, remaining in the seats is the safest. If the passengers jump out of the plane, they might get killed by the air turbulence. The cabin is not on fire, and the doors should not be opened until the last minute. Furthermore, all the passengers will be affected if the doors are opened now. The interior and external air pressure difference is too big.

The pilot made another announcement asking the passengers to remain calm!

But how many people can remain calm in this situation?!

“The plane is making an emergency landing! We will be fine! Please remain in your seats!” A stewardess shouted in Japanese.

An elderly Japanese man shouted. “The engine is on fire! How can we be fine?!”

“Open the door! Open it before it is too late!”

“The door cannot be opened! What is going on?!”

“The exit is faulty!”

“What about the door on the other side?!”

“We cannot open it too!”

A Caucasian and five young Japanese men tried to open the safety exit door but failed. They tried banging against it and couldn’t open it! The door seems to be faulty!

All the passengers panicked!

They could not even jump off the plane now! Their final chance of survival is gone. What can they do now? Are they going to sit there and wait for the plane to crash?!

Boom!

The plane shock again!

A stewardess and the standing passengers fell.

The stewardess shouted. “Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts! Don’t panic! Return to your seats now!”

Dong Xuebing looks at what is happening around him and smiled wearily.

Is this the end?

Will I survive this air crash?!

Dong Xuebing doesn’t want his life to end now! He still wants to see his child and get married to Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan! He also wants to see his mother remarried! He wants to see Sister Yu reunite with her biological parents! He still wants to be promoted to Bureau Director!

But Dong Xuebing will not see all these happening now.

How many more minutes does he have?
