Tang Feng stared at the clouds and mist outside the porthole for a long time, then suddenly turned his face and complained in a low voice: "It's really not a good time to travel, go to high altitude areas in October."

Han Jiang opened his eyes and whispered, "Yes, it's really not the best season to travel, but fortunately it's not winter yet, so we have to finish it before winter comes..."

Han Jiang didn't finish speaking, but there was no sound. Tang Feng looked at Han Jiang in surprise, and saw that Han Jiang was staring intently at the row of seats in front of him on the left. "What's wrong?" Tang Feng asked curiously.

Han Jiang pouted slightly towards the row of seats in front left, and whispered, "Look, those two people in front."

Tang Feng looked at the row of seats in front, there were two foreigners, an old man with gray hair, he was over 60 years old, maybe 70 years old, but his back was straight and he was in good spirits.The other is a woman with short brown hair. The woman is about 30 years old, with good looks, and she is absorbed in reading a magazine. "Why, have you taken a fancy to that beauty?" Tang Feng asked half-jokingly.

"To be serious with you, I don't think those two foreigners are like ordinary people?"

"What's special? Isn't it just two tourists who came to China?"

"As you said just now, it's not a good season to travel."

"Maybe they don't like us going to places with high altitudes, just wandering around Chengdu, what about Qingcheng Mountain, Leshan Giant Buddha!"

"Anyway, I don't think these two are simple, you have to trust my intuition."

Han Jiang and Tang Feng whispered to each other, seeming to startle the foreign beauty in the front row.The beauty looked back at Han Jiang blankly. For some reason, when Han Jiang saw the beauty's gaze, he nervously withdrew his gaze.He didn't know why he was doing this. He had always been proud of his eagle-like confident eyes, but today... Han Jiang turned his head away, and suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in his eyes. "Liang Yuan?!" Han Jiang exclaimed in surprise.

Han Jiang's cry startled Tang Feng.Tang Feng jumped up and followed Han Jiang's line of sight. Sure enough, Liang Yuan came from the corridor.Tang Feng couldn't believe his eyes, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, yes!It was Liang Yuan.At this time, Liang Yuan, who was dressed for traveling and carrying a large green backpack, had already walked up to Tang Feng and Han Jiang. Before Tang Feng and Han Jiang could speak, Liang Yuan first smiled at Tang Feng: "How is it? Tang Feng , I said that no one in this world can stop Miss Ben."

"You...how did you come up?" Tang Feng asked stammeringly.

"That's how I came up!" Liang Yuan said innocently.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang looked at each other, and there was nothing they could do about a girl like Liang Yuan.Han Jiang looked at Liang Yuan's backpack and asked, "It's bulging inside, what's in it?"

"They are all necessary equipment, and there is one more important thing." Liang Yuan replied.

"Important stuff?"

"Jade screen!" Liang Yuan whispered in a low voice.

"What? How did you put Yu..." Tang Feng cried out in shock. Fortunately, Han Jiang covered his mouth so he didn't yell out the words "Yu Chaping".

"How could you bring Yu Chaping?" Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan in a low voice.

"Hmph, the jade screen was bought by my grandfather. I'm willing to take it with me, but you don't care about it." Liang Yuan answered Tang Feng confidently.

Tang Feng shook his head helplessly, and said: "The jade screen belongs to your family, but now it does not only belong to your family, because it has to play a greater role, and its real value is not only 1000 million."

"Okay! Okay! Just kidding with you, look at your nervousness. I brought the jade screen, but I didn't make my own claims. I'm not that bold. I know the importance of the jade screen, yes Professor Luo asked me to bring it. The professor said that you may need a jade screen for your adventure. I didn’t sneak out. I asked Professor Luo for instructions. The professor told me to bring the jade screen together. Yes, maybe it can really come in handy!"

"Professor Luo must have been fooled by a girl like you!" Han Jiang laughed.

"No! Professor Luo didn't stop me from coming." Liang Yuan wanted to argue.

Tang Feng's head is getting bigger, and he doesn't know what difficulties and obstacles he will encounter along the way. This is another delay, really... Tang Feng was upset when he thought of this, but when he saw Liang Yuan's innocent face When she saw her lovely face, she couldn't bear to say anything else.

Han Jiang also looked helpless, he shook his head at Tang Feng, said nothing, and slowly closed his eyes.I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, the plane shook violently.Han Jiang opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Tang Feng and Liang Yuan who were terrified beside him, and looked out the porthole. One engine on the left side of the passenger plane had disappeared, the other engine had also stopped working, and the left wing was scratched. Blue sky, pulling out long black smoke...

"What's going on?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang in horror.

"An accident happened to the plane." Han Jiang replied nervously.

"An accident? Mechanical failure? Or..." Tang Feng was startled.

"I don't know! Don't ask me, I'm not a pilot!"

There was a lot of noise in the cabin, no matter how calm the flight attendants smiled, they could not appease the panicked passengers, because everyone felt that the plane was descending rapidly.Han Jiang moved his eyes to the door of the cockpit. He didn't know if the pilots inside could cope with the situation. He suddenly had an urge to break into the cockpit. He believed that in such a critical moment, he should be the only one on board. Humans are the most experienced in dealing with such dangerous situations.

"What should we do?" Tang Feng had obviously never encountered such a situation.

"I can't just watch the plane fall like this. I think we should be able to do something." Han Jiang said, stood up from his seat, and walked quickly to the cockpit.Tang Feng also stood up unsteadily, and followed Han Jiang into the cockpit.

The plane was still descending rapidly, Han Jiang showed his ID to the flight attendant at the door of the cockpit, and said, "Let me try it, it might work." So, the flight attendant led Han Jiang and Tang Feng into the cockpit, and inside the cockpit , the captain and navigator frantically tried to control the plane.

……

The communication between the aircraft and the command center was lost, and no matter how the captain called, there was no response.Only the engine on one side of the plane is working now, and the altitude keeps dropping. The captain and navigator looked anxious. Captain Han Jiangchong said: "I have flown the plane before, maybe I can help you."

Han Jiang still maintained his superficial composure, but when he took the captain's seat, he soon realized that with his little piloting experience, he couldn't handle this special situation at all.A few minutes later, a thin layer of sweat oozed from Han Jiang's forehead...

"Let me try it!" Behind Han Jiang, a blunt voice suddenly came. Han Jiang, Tang Feng, the captain and the navigator looked back together, and there was an old foreign man with gray hair standing at the door of the cockpit.Behind the old man stood a foreign beauty with short brown hair. Han Jiang and Tang Feng recognized at a glance that they were the two foreigners in the cabin just now.Han Jiang met the old man's eyes, and saw that the old man in front of him had a high nose, deep eyes, and gray hair. He could not be younger than 70 years old, but his eyes were like torches, and his body was as strong as a cow. A blunt Chinese sentence was not like a request, but more like It is an unquestionable command. "This person is really not an ordinary person!" Han Jiang further confirmed his previous judgment.

While Han Jiang was still hesitating, the foreign old man took out his passport and introduced himself to the crowd: "I have flown an airplane before and encountered similar failures before, why don't you let me try."

Tang Feng noticed the information on the foreign old man's passport: "Ivan Petrovich Makarov, a Russian..."

Han Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared at Makarov. He was making quick judgments, handing over the plane to a foreigner?Although he had learned how to fly a plane, he had never encountered such a situation. He turned to look at the captain. This young captain had probably never encountered such a dangerous situation.It seems that we can only take a risk. Thinking of this, Han Jiang seemed to have made up his mind, and gave up the position of captain, and said to the Russian old man named Makarov in front of him: "It's up to you!"

Han Jiang sat on the navigator's seat, turned around and said to the others: "Go out and appease the passengers first, and reassure them that we will be fine."

Tang Feng and others exited the cockpit, and only Makarov and Han Jiang were left in the cockpit. At this time, the plane that was out of control had completely deviated from the course, and fell tilted to the northwest...

After learning about the altitude and various parameters of the plane, Makarov said decisively: "We don't have much time left. There is no airport to land on, so we have to find a place to make an emergency landing."

"Find a place? Do you know where we are now?" Han Jiang felt that his opinion was completely unrealistic.

Makarov glanced at Han Jiang and said, "Of course I know. Now the plane has deviated from the original route and is falling in the northwest direction. Below us is the Minshan Mountains. The mountains here are steep, the canyons are deep, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal. It is really difficult. Find a flat land suitable for forced landing, but, to use your Chinese saying, it is called 'there is no end to the sky'."

"What can you do?"

"First control the plane and fly to the northwest, there should be a place suitable for an emergency landing."

Han Jiang shook his head, that's all he could do. 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes... 5 minutes later, Makarov and Han Jiang miraculously regained control of the plane, and the plane slowed down significantly.However, they knew that the plane could not last too long, and they had to find a suitable place for an emergency landing immediately.

The plane continued to descend, at 3800 meters, 3700 meters, 3600 meters, 3500 meters, 3400 meters... The plane passed through the clouds. Suddenly, Han Jiang widened his eyes and shouted: "There is a mountain in front! Quick! Pull up! Pull up! stand up!"

Makarov also saw the mountain peak ahead at almost the same time. He pulled up the joystick suddenly, and the wing and tail on one side of the plane quickly adjusted their direction. The fuselage tilted to the left, almost sticking to the ridge, and flew over mountain peak.

Han Jiang let out a long breath and sighed: "It was really thrilling just now."

Makarov remained calm without saying a word, but Han Jiang could still see the fine sweat oozing from Makarov's forehead.Suddenly, Makarov laughed dryly twice, and Han Jiang was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?"

"I said that there is no unparalleled road, what do you see ahead?"

Han Jiang looked in front of the porthole—a mountain meadow!He immediately understood what Makarov meant: "Are you going to make a forced landing here?"

"Is there a more suitable place than this?" Makarov asked back.

Han Jiang nodded, "Yes, you can make a forced landing here, but..."

"what?"

"It's just... have you noticed? From our point of view, this alpine meadow is high in the front and low in the back, with bushes in the back, and virgin forests below. If we make an emergency landing on the meadow, it is likely to rush Into the forest. If you don't control it and hit a big tree, the consequences..."

"I can't control that much now. The fuel is running out, so I can only take a risk here. You go to ask the captain and them to help the passengers take protective measures. After 3 minutes, the emergency landing will begin."

The captain led the crew to help the passengers take protective measures and everything was ready.Makarov kept his eyes on the alpine meadow in front of him, and decided not to put down the landing gear, but directly landed on the belly of the aircraft.There are two reasons for this. One is because the landing gear on the left side has been damaged, and only the other two landing gears are used for forced landing, which makes the aircraft unstable; The plane crashed into the forest.

Han Jiang roughly estimated that the suitable distance for a forced landing on the meadow is less than 200 meters, followed by a bush area of ​​more than 100 meters, and then the forest.Makarov maneuvered the plane to land on this sloping meadow runway accurately. "Zhi-ch-ch--" The belly of the plane rubbed against the grass violently. Fortunately, there was some moisture in the meadow to avoid the violent friction. possible sparks.

However, the meadow is still too slippery, and the meadow less than 200 meters can't stop the plane at all. The plane rushed straight into the bushes, and the dust, sand, dead wood, and branches were all rolled up together. The bushes slowed down the speed of the plane, but at the same time sparked brightly with the belly of the plane.The left wing was overwhelmed, and with a loud bang, the left wing was snapped off, and the fuselage suddenly tilted to the left.In the cabin, the passengers were shaken to pieces, screaming and crying one after another.

In the cockpit, Han Jiang had already got down on his stomach according to Makarov's request. Makarov sat in the captain's seat and still tried his best to control the plane, hoping that the plane would not rush into the forest.The speed of the plane is getting slower and slower, but it is getting closer and closer to the forest.Makarov's eyes widened, his pupils dilated rapidly, and he could already clearly see the towering tree approaching him...

"Boom—" There was another loud noise, and the plane inevitably hit the big tree. Fortunately, when it hit the tree, the speed of the plane had been greatly slowed down. After hitting the big tree, the plane finally stopped.In the cockpit, at the moment when the nose of the plane hit a big tree, a tree trunk as thick as a bowl smashed through the porthole and stabbed straight at Makarov. Flow like a note.

Everything is quiet, the roar of the engine, the friction between the belly and the ground, and the panicked shouts have all disappeared at this moment. In this desolate primeval forest, only the cries from the cabin and the howling wind are left the sound of.

After an unknown amount of time, he stumbled up and got a bloody gash on his left arm, but he didn't care about the wound, so he threw himself on Makarov and called out, "Are you alright? "

Makarov struggled to open his eyes, squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm still alive." After speaking, he passed out.

Makarov was still alive, Han Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, but he soon found that Makarov's shoulder was still bleeding, Han Jiang stood up and said, "Don't move, I'll go out and get you some medicine."

The violent impact completely deformed the cockpit door. Han Jiang tried his best to smash the door open.In the cabin, the passengers were staggering, some were moaning, some were crying, only Tang Feng, the crew, and the beautiful woman who was traveling with Makarov got up.While asking Tang Feng and the crew to comfort the passengers, Han Jiang found an ax and slammed the door of the plane.The cabin door opened, and a gust of cold fresh air poured into the cabin, bringing new hope to all the people who survived the desperate situation.

Han Jiang jumped out of the cabin first, and what he saw was a dark forest.Looking at this black forest, Han Jiang wondered what was waiting for them?A new hope, or a continuation of a terrible nightmare?
