Chapter 1096 Countdown

Chu Zihang was the first to notice the anomaly. He had been in contact with Lin Nian's 'Time Zero' field the most. The moment he felt the strange fluctuations in the field and the delay in the surrounding environment, he was able to judge Something happened.

Xia Mi and Su Qian were still doing their own things. One was chatting with Chu Zihang about popular science tourist attractions, and the other was seriously preparing for the mission. Suddenly, they noticed that Chu Zihang stood up suddenly, with eyes like It scraped around like a knife, and then they looked around and noticed something unusual.

"This is..." Xia Mi's eyes widened, as if she had seen this strange scene for the first time. Her eyes fell on the passenger on the left front seat who was taking medicine before getting off the plane. The pill that bounced off the wrist was almost Still in the air, the passenger's eyes also hovered on the pill, and his mouth remained open and motionless.

The column of water poured into the water glass was frozen in time, the body movements and expressions raised by the passengers when talking were frozen, the mineral water bottles rolling down the slightly sloping aisle also stopped their momentum, everything was pressed. pause.

"Time zero." Susie and Lancelot in the back seat stood up almost at the same time. They experienced it briefly when they were operating in the airport terminal. When they experienced this situation again, they instantly realized what had happened.

After noticing that each other had been pardoned by 'Time Zero', several people immediately looked to Lin Nian's seat on the right, and suddenly found that both seats were empty. They immediately began to determine who else could be in the field. freedom of movement.

In addition to Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, Susie and Lancelot who took action, Veleva Helsinki who quickly ran from the front cabin to join everyone was also included. Fingel was still sleeping soundly in the back row. Comparing his breathing rate with Xiawang, who was leaning against him, it was obvious that this guy was also one of the pardoned people.

"Lin Nian." Wei Lewa, who was still standing in the aisle, had the clearest view. She raised her hand and pointed to the aisle behind her. Several people immediately looked over and found that Lin Nian and Su Xiaoqiang were half-kneeling in the aisle and didn't know what they were looking down at. .

Chu Zihang unbuckled his seat belt and without wasting time, he immediately stepped onto the aisle and walked over. Before he could ask about the situation, Lin Nian, who was squatting in the aisle, had already got straight to the point; "Something happened, the structure of the aircraft was torn. , an irreversible air crash will occur in ten seconds in real time."

"What caused it? Do you have any idea?" Chu Zihang almost never imagined the possibility of Lin Nian's misjudgment. He moved closer to the position Lin Nian made way for him and squatted down.

Sure enough, he saw the cracks torn on the floor of the aisle at a glance, and followed the path of the cracks to look at the bulkhead. Sure enough, the white bulkhead was also crawling with dark cracks representing death and disaster.

"The reason is unknown, but it is definitely not because of the explosion." Su Xiaoqiang's expression was also a little ugly, "I am sure that all the bombs have been eliminated. There should not be another air crash of this level."

This made Chu Zihang's heart sink. He gently stopped his fingers on the port on the right side of the crack for comparison. Under the influence of 'Time Zero', the crack was still persistently climbing forward and extending. According to this The multiple rate of velocity versus time is zero. Under normal time flow, in less than ten seconds at most, cracks can penetrate the entire cabin of the aircraft in cross section.

"Ten minutes, this is the maximum time I can fight for. Except for Xia Mi's brother, my 'Time Zero' has pardoned nine of you. I can last for ten minutes at most." Lin Nian said.

'Time Zero' at full power consumes a lot of physical strength and mental energy. Lin Nian's physical strength is sufficient, but mental load is a serious problem. Dragging nine people into 'Time Zero' is basically nine times the consumption. Lin Nian can last for ten full years. Minutes are already considered superhuman.

But this does not mean that ten minutes is Lin Nian's limit. Maybe he can delay it longer, but in the ten seconds of reality, ten minutes after time zero, when the plane really begins to disintegrate, no matter how hard he maintains 'time zero' It was meaningless. Without their vehicle, they could only end up falling into the sky.

Chu Zihang was silent for ten seconds, and the people who gathered behind him were also silent for ten seconds. During these ten seconds, everyone had a brain storm. 'Time Zero' opened for ten minutes, and every minute and every second was prime time for fire fighting and rescue operations. They understood the meaning of Lin Nian's effort to pardon them in his spirit, even if it cost nine times the mental and physical burden. I will never waste the other person's money

"Where are Lu Mingfei and Ling?" Lin Nian frowned slightly when he found that Lu Mingfei and Ling hadn't come over yet, "Go and call them over."

What happened over there? Zero was taking him, so why did he come so slowly?

"I'll call them." Su Xiaoqiang stood up and walked quickly to the rear cabin.

—

Lu Mingfei, who was still sleeping soundly with his steam eye mask on, felt his face being pulled twice. Because he was sleeping too comfortably, he just raised his head and muttered: "Don't make trouble."

But the person who picked him up didn't seem to be unintentional, and even more aggressively patted his cheek. This made him a little tired, so he raised his hand and wiped it forward, "I told you not to make trouble."

Then he felt himself pushing against the back of the seat, which was soft. Then the back of the seat hit him.

His face suddenly felt hot and painful, "Ouch."

"Lu Mingfei, you guys, uh." Su Xiaoqiang trotted over and saw an expressionless Ling standing in the aisle, and Lu Mingfei, who was wearing a blindfold and with a slap mark on his face, and was struggling with his claws.

"What's wrong?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Ling strangely.

Ling didn't reply, just shook his head to express that it was nothing, and walked quickly to Lin Nian's side.

Su Xiaoqiang scratched his hair and felt a little strange, but he had no time to worry about it. He reached out and pulled off Lu Mingfei's blindfold, "Something happened. The plane may crash. Don't sleep."

"Ah?" Lu Mingfei, whose face felt inexplicably hot and painful, took off his blindfold and looked around in confusion. He looked at Su Xiaoqiang, who was slightly hurried. After taking three seconds to figure out the meaning of the other party's words, his face turned pale instantly, " Are you kidding me?"

"I also hope I'm joking. Are you and Ling okay?" Su Xiaoqiang decided to ask one more question.

"What's wrong? Ouch?" Lu Mingfei felt that his face still hurt a little, "Who slapped me just now, did you do it?"

Su Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes. Although he didn't know what the situation was, he was sure that Lu Mingfei, the silly boy, had unconsciously offended Ling again, but he probably wouldn't have offended him too severely.

After all, if Zero were to strike hard, this slap would be a Russian-style martial arts (KGB secret). A slap aimed at the auricle would make the person lose consciousness in half an hour, and even after waking up, he would think I was just in a daze, completely unaware of what was happening.

Lu Mingfei just had a small handprint on his face now, so it didn't seem to be a big problem, so Su Xiaoqiang just urged him and turned around and went back.

Lu Mingfei still didn't know how he got slapped, and this doubt would probably last his whole life.

When Lu Mingfei hurried to the front cabin with worries about the plane crashing, when he saw Lin Nian and others gathered in the aisle meditating, he felt a thump in his heart and realized that the problem seemed a bit big.

"Lu Mingfei, what's your situation?" Lin Nian turned to look at Lu Mingfei and saw the clear slap marks on his face. He subconsciously looked at Su Xiaoqiang. Su Xiaoqiang spread his hands to express that it was not his problem, and he shook his head. "Forget it. To put it simply, in ten minutes the plane will begin to split from the middle under our feet. We will lose half of the fuselage. At the same time, we will face pressure imbalance, airflow burst, the fuselage will further disintegrate, and the wings will , the risk of engine damage and fire. Do you have any ideas?"

"Ten minutes?!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened, as if he wanted to eat someone.

He looked at his watch subconsciously and found that the hands on the watch were trembling as if they were attracted by a magnet.

"Eight minutes and thirty seconds." Susie said, "I'm counting down in my mind."

"As I timed it, we will set the time again at five minutes to avoid timing errors caused by nervousness." Lancelot said.

"So, do you have any ideas?" Lin Nian looked at Lu Mingfei.

Because Lin Nian specifically asked Lu Mingfei, everyone looked at Lu Mingfei in unison.

"Do I look like Conan or Doraemon? (The point of Lu Mingfei's bad words is probably that 'Conan' directed Xiaolan to make an emergency landing in the movie version. 'Doraemon's' universal pocket can solve all problems." , both are ruthless characters who can solve the current predicament, but he is neither)?" Lu Mingfei wailed, "Skydiving? Is there a parachute on this plane? We have all trained in skydiving, and there should be enough parachute bags. Problem?"

"This is indeed a good idea. We cannot save an entire plane. Lu Mingfei's cold-bloodedness is rational. We should indeed consider abandoning other people on the plane and find parachute bags to parachute to save ourselves." Veleva calmly said explain.

Lu Mingfei almost couldn't bear it in one breath. How could he suddenly turn into a "rational and cold-blooded" character? This is not in line with his personality! How pitiful is it that he just made a reactive self-rescue speech after his desire for survival overtook everything else?

"Let me be clear first, is the disintegration of the aircraft irreversible?" Lancelot leaned over and looked at the crack that had extended under the seat and asked quickly, "Is it possible to stop this process?"

"It shouldn't be possible. By the time we found out that it had been delayed until now, the situation was irreversible. The cross-sectional structure of the aircraft was E-shaped. The aisle under our feet now was a section in the middle. No one knew the cabin. We have no way of knowing how far the cracks in the lower part have spread, and we can't stop it." Lin Nian pressed the floor of the aisle, "The aircraft is destined to disintegrate. The whole process happened too fast, and the reason is unknown, but it is a foregone conclusion."

"Who's going to simulate what's going to happen in ten minutes?" Fingal said.

"At the moment of disintegration, the structure of the aircraft will be broken by a huge force due to the pressure difference, and the airflow will be instantly involved in the cabin, causing suffocation and loss of pressure. We will first lose the entire rear half cabin, and all the passengers in the rear half cabin will be No one is spared from this sudden situation. In that case, the outside atmospheric pressure will quickly enter the cabin, and the rapid drop in air pressure will cause them to suffer from hypoxia, loss of consciousness, frostbite, and basically no time to chant the spirit." Chu. Zihang said.

"Tell the time." Lin Nian said.

"Seven minutes and forty seconds." Lancelot and Susie said at the same time.

"Remind me at the last minute." Lin Nian set an alarm clock.

"Can the plane still land without the rear half of the fuselage?" Xia Mi took a deep breath to calm down and asked.

"There has never been such a precedent." Chu Zihang said bluntly, "In this case, the structure of the aircraft was seriously damaged and lost important balance and stability. Even if the engine and wings were retained, the rear part of the aircraft It also contains important control surfaces and tails. Losing them will cause the aircraft to lose its ability to control. Even if we are lucky to have the landing gear left, it will be difficult to maintain stable flight and land safely. In this case, the aircraft The challenges faced by the captain are beyond imagination, and it requires extremely precise flying skills and emergency response capabilities to achieve a one-in-10,000 possibility."

"One in a million is not an exaggeration," Fingel whispered.

"But if we succeed, we can be the one in case." Lin Nian suddenly said.

"How about we look for a parachute?" Lu Mingfei's face twitched.

"There are no parachutes on civil aviation planes." Su Xiaoqiang pressed his forehead and said in a deep voice, "This is common sense. Even we have suffered a lot to learn skydiving skills. High-altitude air currents, cold temperatures, and aircraft speeds are all possible. Skydivers’ lives depend on it, and passengers who have not undergone skydiving training are courting death if they skydive hastily, so civil aviation is never equipped with parachutes.”

"No, there may be some on this plane." Lin Nian said, "Because there was an accident before boarding the plane, I specially asked people from the logistics department to bring some parachute bags when they took over the work of the crew members, and stored them in the cabin There are not many parachute bags in the compartment storage box where the young lady is resting, but if we divide it into two or three people to skydive in a group, it should still be feasible."

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened again, and he looked at Lin Nian, thinking that having a reliable teammate when he was away from home would be a life-saving thing!

"Skydive away?" Veleva looked at Lin Nian and asked.

Lin Nian didn't answer.

"Tell the time." Chu Zihang said.

"Six minutes and twenty seconds," said Lancelot and Susie.

"Xia Mi, we should be in the Beigan airspace now. You are most familiar with the terrain here. Go and see how far we are from the airport." Lin Nian said.

Xia Mi immediately moved towards the porthole and pressed against the window, trying to identify the landmarks and terrain below.

"You don't really want to make an emergency landing, do you?" Fingel looked at Lin Nian in disbelief, as if he understood the meaning of Lin Nian's order.

If everything still needs to be saved, then it is understandable to choose to be the savior for once. But in this situation of no life or death, if you still have to risk your life to save a group of people who have nothing to do with you, then you should really doubt whether this person has some stubborn savior plot.

But he suddenly realized that Lin Nian seemed to have always been the "savior" in everyone's eyes.

"What the hell, junior brother, don't be stubborn. Don't risk your life for a group of irrelevant people." Fingel insisted that the bottom line of the team was still ten meters below the absolute limit, so he directly advised, "The people on this plane are all hybrids who are rushing to slay dragons. They are not ordinary people. When they get on the plane, they should be prepared for the consequences they will bear. There is no need for you to go out of your way to help. They take the risk!”

"But in the same way, the purpose of this group of people is the same as ours. They are all dragon slayers. Although they may be mixed with impure things such as the purpose and interests of the forces, they are indeed the same dragon slayers as us. "Yes," Lancelot whispered.

"." Lin Nian frowned and ignored Fingel's words.

Chu Zihang looked at the silent Lin Nian and said, "You can't let go of the maintenance staff. They are all the logistics staff of the execution department who are transferred to the execution department through you. They are members of Kassel College. , you don’t want to give them up. But our skydiving bags are limited and we can’t take them with us.”

Fingel was stunned. He really didn't expect this.

The corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched. At this time, he also thought of the flight attendant who was particularly enthusiastic about him during the plane journey. He was not full after eating the box lunch, so the flight attendant gave him two extra portions, and the two portions contained more than others. Three chicken legs. When I was wondering, I saw the flight attendant not far away making a 'shh' gesture to me.

The entire maintenance team was from the Logistics Department of the Executive Department, and they almost forgot this.

"Yes, I think they should not die on this plane." Lin Nian said, "Besides, I think this plane can still be saved, and it will not be a dead end."

Soon, he glanced at everyone present. After closing his eyes and thinking for a few seconds, he raised his head and opened his eyes. "I won't waste my words anymore. I only want to ask one thing now: I have a way to try to make an emergency landing, but I have to gamble." Life, if we lose the bet, let’s finish the game together, if we win the bet, we can save the entire plane, raise your hands if you are willing to join.”

After a while, no one raised their hands.

Even Lu Mingfei couldn't help but raise his hands after seeing Lin Nian's determined eyes, but his face was still a little pale.

Even if it's just for these three chicken legs.

Lin Nian stared at everyone's raised hands without saying a word.

It's no surprise that sometimes people do stupid things.

After all, people are always willing to bear a mountain of consequences for simple reasons.

"Lin Nian, just tell me what you think. We don't have much time. Now everyone recognizes you as the commissioner and will obey your orders unconditionally." Su Xiaoqiang said.

Lin Nian glanced at her, nodded and said, "Okay. The parachute bags are limited. Those who got an 'A' in the skydiving class will raise their hands."

Ling, Chu Zihang, Susie, and Lancelot raised their hands.

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, and felt a chill in his heart. He thought that if he failed in the skydiving class for a while, his future would be ruined. He seemed to have guessed what Lin Nian would do next.

But to Lu Mingfei's expectation, Lin Nian quickly glanced at the four people, then glanced at Lu Mingfei, Ling and Wei Lewa, and finally stopped at Fingel, "Senior Brother Fingel , have your skydiving skills fallen behind?"

Fingel only gave him a thumbs up, indicating that there was no problem.

"Very good, Fingel, you take Xiawang and Su Xiaoqiang to parachute first. I'm not worried about them being here."

".What?"

Su Xiaoqiang just turned her head, and Lin Nian raised his hand and put it on her shoulder without looking. The girl lost her 'time zero' forgiveness in an instant, and her expression and movements gradually became frozen. At the last moment, she His face was struggling.

"Fingel, go get the parachute bag and the storage box in the compartment. If you encounter a lock, break it violently. This shouldn't be difficult for you." Lin Nian said.

Fingel stood up without saying a word and rushed to the compartment.

"Xiawang is an ordinary person. Su Xiaoqiang's 'precognition' ability is no longer useful." Chu Zihang was expressionless and immediately understood Lin Nian's approach. "She and Xiawang were unable to provide any help or even help with the emergency landing of the plane." To protect yourself, you really need to leave early.”

"Well, she has helped us enough by disarming the bomb. Now that the situation has been decided, staying will only affect my actions and decisions. The murderer who caused the plane to tear has not yet been found, and I'm afraid that he will appear again. If there is any accident, I can't help but subconsciously put her safety above the emergency landing of the entire plane. This allows the murderer to succeed, and it is also extremely irresponsible for you who are left behind, so it is better to eliminate this hidden danger before starting to act. ." Lin Nian said calmly, "Tell the time."

"Four minutes and fifty-eight seconds," said Lancelot and Susie.

First, get rid of your own weaknesses. Only then can you risk your life with confidence. This was Lin Nian's instant decision.

He had a hunch that the murderer was not targeting them, but the entire plane, but the reason was not yet clear.

"There are other parachute bags that will not be processed. Whoever wants to use them on the plane can use them." Lin Nian looked at the four people who had raised their hands before and all had "A" skydiving scores and said, "You know I chose Fingel instead of you. The reason?"

"Word Spirit." Chu Zihang said, "Our Word Spirit helps the plane make an emergency landing."

Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Nian, as if he understood something.

"Lu Mingfei, I heard that you successfully used the orthodox Yue's speech spirit at the South Railway Station. Susie's speech spirit and Yue's speech spirit are both the same. I need you to come within four minutes. Is there any problem with getting the power to use this speaking spirit?" Lin Nian looked directly at Lu Mingfei.

". There should be no problem!" Lu Mingfei took a deep breath to suppress the fear in his heart, forced himself to just obey the order, and quickly glanced at Su Qian's shoulder. Although Su Qian knew some of Lu Mingfei's secrets, her eyes were still full of fear. The unbelievable glance passed by, and the familiar eye position also let others know that this 'S' class had finally begun to reveal its strength to the public.

"You want to use our speech spirit to make the plane make an emergency landing?" Veleva was shocked by this bold idea, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, "It's really imaginative!"

The deeper reason why Lin Nian asked Fingel to take Su Xiaoqiang and Xia Wang out of the plane was also because he concluded that in the next plan, the power of these three people would not be of any help to his plan, while everyone else could or could Contribute more or less.

"No." Lin Nian said, "It's not just your words and spirits. It's almost impossible for just a few of us to keep half of the plane from landing successfully. You will die of exhaustion before success. What I want to borrow is the entire plane." A mixed-race spirit!"

It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. If you want to save everyone, then you should let everyone know before taking the risk. And Lin Nian has the ability to do this. He will put the lives of all the passengers on the plane into their own hands, so that they can at least fight hard when facing disaster, even if they struggle for a moment in the sea of ​​fire.

"Then we need time." Chu Zihang said.

No one needed to be reminded to tell the time. Susie and Lancelot said at the same time, "Three minutes!"
