Chapter 42 Cooperation with the Motherland

"Who are you calling?"

The Homelander, who was still maintaining a hypocritical appearance and comforting everyone, turned around and saw Maeve taking out a satellite phone, and couldn't help asking in surprise.

Maeve glanced at him coldly, and didn't answer immediately, but quickly dialed the phone to contact the other side:

"Yes, it's me! Maeve... Deep Sea! Stop talking nonsense! Now let Madeline locate our position immediately! Come and save people!!"

"Oh? Deep Sea? Do you believe that the guy who can only chat with fish can save a group of people on the plane?"

Knowing the person Maeve asked for help, the Homelander smiled sarcastically.

Well, the Homelander admitted that Deep Sea's performance has been good recently. He participated in commercial activities, actively accepted endorsements, and filmed his own personal movie, showing an ambiguous CP with Xingguang.

These Homelanders knew and began to think that Deep Sea was a talent, and perhaps he could replace the original transparent man in the team.

But what does the ability in business and entertainment have to do with this hijacking incident?

Does Maeve know how big a thing this is?

How could that guy who only knows how to play with fish in the water save so many people?

On what?

Could he make the fish fly up and stop the passenger plane?

Listening to the ridicule of the Homelander to the Deep Sea, Maeve took a deep breath and did not agree. Instead, she held the phone and said:

"The Deep Sea has already rushed over here. He said, let us appease the people on the plane."

"Haha, let us appease the people on the plane? Did he really say that?"

The Homelander suddenly laughed, repeated Maeve's words and asked back.

Then, before Maeve could say anything, the Homelander's face suddenly changed.

In a place where no one could see, he pushed Maeve to the side of the plane door, his eyes were cold, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly:

"Who does he think he is? Can he order me?"

"... Maeve, give the phone to the Homelander."

Perhaps the movement here was too loud, attracting the attention of the Deep Sea on the other side.

The Homelander's super hearing heard the voice of the Deep Sea on the phone.

This time, without Maeve making any moves, he grabbed the phone and put it to his ear:

"Deep Sea? Very good, you are very brave now. It seems that the recent limelight has made you unable to tell who you are?"

"How could that be, Homelander, I am doing this for your own good."

As soon as Homelander finished speaking, a laughing voice came from the other side.

This sentence surprised Homelander. His frown relaxed a little, and he stopped scolding Deep Sea and asked:

"What? For my own good?"

"Yes, the plane was completely out of order and was about to fall into the sea. At this time, the great Homelander, the national superman in people's minds, led his men Deep Sea and Maeve to save a group of people on the plane under his wise and heroic leadership!

"If this matter is known to the media... No, they will definitely know, and knowing this, they will definitely promote you vigorously, and your number of fans will increase by at least five percentage points! Isn't this for your own good? "

Deep Sea's voice came from the other end of the phone.

The gentle and highly suggestive words made Homelander lose himself for a moment, and he couldn't help imagining the scene of being surrounded by people and the number of fans soaring.

But Homelander was not a fool, he could tell what was real and what was fantasy.

What Deep Sea said was indeed very tempting, but that was based on the premise that they saved the plane.

However, what if they failed?

"I admit, Deep Sea, what you said is very tempting to me, but the problem is that you don't have the ability to save so many people on the whole plane!"

Homelander's expression suddenly became extremely sinister.

He didn't believe that Kevin had the ability to save the plane at all, or he would rather see the plane fall than believe that his subordinates had abilities that even he didn't have.

"Maybe I don't, but..."

Deep Sea sighed on the other end of the phone, and his tone calmed down:

"Anyway, you were going to give up on them, right? How bad can it be? The worst case scenario is that they all die. Won't there be plenty of excuses then?

"At worst, you can put all the blame on me. Anyway, there's no loss for you, right? Give it a try, Homelander. This is a chance to make you more famous."

Deep Sea seemed to have thought of everything.

If this thing works, Homelander will be a hero who saved the whole plane.

And even if it fails, Homelander has a way out and can throw all the dirty water on Deep Sea's head.

"So you want to take the blame yourself?"

Homelander asked with a smile.

Deep Sea was silent for a while and said:

"If you think so, it's not impossible. Isn't it normal for subordinates to take the blame for the captain? Captain, I just hope you can say a few words to me when the time comes."

The plane was falling down. Homelander thought for a long time while holding the phone. Perhaps he was persuaded by Kevin, or perhaps he had other ideas. He actually began to ask about the feasibility of this matter:

"What are you going to do?"

"Well, this requires a little help from our great and broad-minded captain. I need you to help stabilize the plane's attitude. Just don't let it fall vertically. The rest... I'll take care of it."

………

It's so tiring to coax a child.

Kevin sighed in his heart after ending the call with Homelander.

He had long known how Homelander would react after Maeve called him, so he had already prepared a plan to persuade Homelander.

By praising Homelander and promising him benefits, that is, helping him increase his number of fans and making him more famous.

Judging from Homelander's great attention to these things, Kevin's chance of success in persuading him is very high.

But if he fails, it doesn't matter. Kevin will give up the rescue and go home, because without Homelander's help, he can't save a plane of people with only the water flow control of LV4 ability.

LV5 is about right.

The motherland is no longer a problem, so next, we can focus on saving the plane.

Kevin actually thought about how to save the plane for a long time.

He first thought of using the ability to control water to set up a barrier net in front of the plane, one layer on top of another, to stop the plane and successfully make an emergency landing on the sea.

The problem is that the water flow controlled by Kevin seems unable to reach such a high altitude.

Even if Kevin can lift himself to a height of 50 meters, and then use it as a transfer to control the water flow to a higher altitude of 50 meters.

But the total distance is only more than 100 meters, for a plane located at several thousand meters, it can't even reach its shadow.

If you have to wait until the plane approaches the sea to rescue, a distance of 100 meters is only a matter of a moment, and Kevin has no reaction time at all.

Maybe before he is ready, the plane has crashed on the sea.

So Kevin thought of another way.

He needed Homelander to help adjust the plane's attitude, so that it would not fall straight from the sky, but would glide forward in a manner almost parallel to the sea surface.

It was true that Homelander could not drag the entire plane up, but Homelander could still barely maintain the plane's flight attitude.

As long as the plane did not fall vertically, Kevin would have time to carry out his own operation.

At that time, he would attach the water flow to the plane when the plane approached the sea surface.

Through the uninterrupted control of the water flow, a very long water slide would be created below it.

And a barrier net formed by seawater was placed on the slide to offset the impact inertia of the plane.

Kevin had been doing such a rehearsal after his ability was promoted to LV4.

Although it was reluctant, Kevin believed that the success rate of this method was very high.

And even if the worst result was nothing more than the same as in the original book, Kevin himself would not suffer any loss.

As for taking the blame for Homelander...

Kevin was joking. If all the survivors were killed, only the three of them would know what happened to the plane at sea.

At that time, the three of them can say whatever they want, and the Vought Group will also conduct public relations for this.

And the black box...

Without Kevin, who can find the black box of the plane in such a deep sea?

In short, if this thing succeeds, it will be beneficial, and if it fails, there will be no loss. It's just that the Homelander needs to coax it.

"Are you getting close..."

Because Starlight is an insider, Kevin is rushing towards the location they are located at the same time as Homelander and Maeve act.

So now Kevin can arrive at the scene at the critical moment.

In the water, Kevin's speed will not be much slower than Homelander.

When he came to the location, Kevin saw the black spot in the sky that was constantly approaching below. That was where the control console failed and the plane lost balance.

But Kevin could see that on the side of the plane that was unbalanced, Homelander was doing his best to correct the plane's falling posture.

As long as it does not involve Homelander's own interests, Homelander will at least maintain the appearance of a hero on the surface.

Now Kevin has convinced him, even if it is just a performance, the Homelander must show that he is doing his best to save the plane.

Therefore, even if the plane is still descending, with the help of the Homelander, it does not fall headfirst, but lands on the sea in a gentle curve.

"Huh, calm down... Then try the same operation as before."

Kevin encouraged himself, then estimated the distance between the plane and himself, stood on the sea, raised his hands flatly to the sea, and pointed his palms at the sea.

The next moment, the waves surged and the water curtain covered the sky!
