Chapter Twenty-Eight: Forced Landings on the Prairie
028 Chapter 28 Forced Landing on the Prairie
I don't know how long it took, Wang Xiaoyu was woken up, a few raindrops hit his face, his head was splitting, his body was still shaking, and there was the sound of whirring wind. Feel everything dancing in the cabin. He scrambled his eyes slightly, the moon fainted beside him, and the soldiers and crew were gone, smelling of burnt plastic in their noses.
The plane jumped up again, and Wang Xiaoyu was thrown into the air and smashed to the ground. He quickly climbed the foot of the seat next to him and stabilized his body, only to find that his handcuffed left hand had been untied at some point.
The moon hadn't woken up yet, and Wang Xiaoyu was afraid that he would be thrown into the air again, so he hugged him to his seat and tied it tightly with a seat belt. The plane was still shaking, the smell of burnt plastic was getting stronger and stronger, and looking ahead, a wisp of white smoke floated out of the upper corner of the cab.
He immediately reacted that something must have happened to the plane, those crew members and soldiers parachuted away, and only he and Moon, the two unconscious "terrorists", were abandoned on the plane that would crash at any time! He looked behind him, and sure enough, the cabin door behind him had opened, and the night sky was full of thunderstorms.
This was the first time in his life that he had taken a plane, but he didn't expect God to pick him up. Except for the moon, who was unconscious in his seat, he was the only one left in the huge cabin. The plane was descending rapidly, like an elevator. He wanted to look around to see if there was a parachute, but he didn't know where it was placed. There are also a few cargo boxes on the side of the cabin, which have been wrenched a few times in the past, but they have not moved at all. I wanted to open the lid, but I nailed it to death. He was about to use brute force to push the cargo box on the upper deck down, when suddenly a woman's scream came from the cockpit, and the plane immediately leaned diagonally to the right.
Wang Xiaoyu was not scared lightly, he just held on to the bulkhead, looked at the cockpit, and saw no one, and when he looked closely, a few strands of blonde hair floated out from the driver's seat. He wondered, is there anyone else? At this time, the angle of the plane was getting bigger and bigger, and a stretcher on the bilge on the left was slanted to the right, and he noticed that the blonde girl on the stretcher was gone.
Perhaps, that chick was also abandoned on the plane, she woke up earlier than herself, and ran to the cockpit to try to save the plane? Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoyu's heart settled down, and he stumbled to the cab with the bulkhead.
Yang Niu really sat in the driver's seat, this is her petite figure, the whole person is blocked by the backrest of the airline seat, and she can't see it from behind, so that Wang Xiaoyu thought that there was no one in the cockpit at first. At this time, I saw that her face was pale, her teeth were clenched, and her slightly trembling hands desperately pushed a joystick, but the joystick did not move at all, and the plane still slowly slanted to the right.
Wang Xiaoyu didn't care so much, climbed on her shoulder and said, "The plane is dying, do you know where there is a parachute?" ”
The foreign girl pushed the joystick desperately, almost prostration, and barely popped out of her mouth a few words: "It's useless!" ", it turned out to be Chinese.
Now that the parachute is the only life-saving tool, how can it be useless? Wang Xiaoyu saw that her hand pushing the joystick couldn't hold on, so he hurriedly stepped forward and put on the handle, pushed it, and was dead, he held his hands with his strength, and pushed it up with a low cry, and there were a few strange rattling sounds, and finally pushed the joystick up.
The moment the joystick was pushed, the main control screen of the bridge went black, and the three red lights above flashed incessantly, sounding a terrible alarm. The most shocking thing is that there is a string of red numbers jumping on the dashboard, 1000, 990, 998 keeps decreasing. Although Wang Xiaoyu couldn't understand it, he should know with his toes that it was the plane's altitude constantly decreasing.
Letting go of the hand of the joystick, the foreign girl finally regained some strength, her pale face was still exhausted, and she said to Wang Xiaoyu weakly: "Don't look for it, I've searched it all over, there is no parachute!" ”
Wang Xiaoyu asked anxiously: "What should I do then?" ”
The girl didn't answer him, and she tried her best to pull the rudder. Wang Xiaoyu understood that the only way to survive now was to make a forced landing. Wang Xiao asked anxiously, "But those professional pilots just now can't do it, and we don't know how to fly an airplane, how is it possible?" ”
The girl tried her best to turn the rudder, and it seemed to have an effect, and the plane no longer tilted to the right, and it was a little more stable. Her forehead was already full of sweat, she glanced at Wang Xiaoyu, and said: "The aircraft's avionics system was damaged by lightning, and the landing gear can't be put down, if you listen to my command, maybe there is still a glimmer of life!" ”
Seeing that the foreign girl adjusted the inclined plane, Wang Xiaoyu already believed that she would fly the plane, which was like encountering a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll listen to you!" ”
Yang Niu sighed again and said: "It's still useless, now the altitude is only 800 meters, and it will land in about 5 minutes, even if you help me control the plane, but no one goes to put down the landing gear, it's still useless!" "Wang Xiaoyu's heart is cold, even if he fights for his life, he is not skilled?
At this moment, someone behind him said in a daze: "Xiaoyu, what's wrong?" "It turned out that the moon didn't know when she woke up and came over.
The highest mountain in Africa is Kilimanjaro, and more than 100 kilometers northwest of it is home to the Galen volcano. This Galen volcano is the main reason for the formation of the Serengeti savannah, which is located on the edge of the savannah. More than 10 kilometres from the Galen volcano is Lake Natron, an area between the volcano and the lake, where water is abundant, vegetation is abundant, wildlife is inhabited, and it is also a pasture for the Maasai people.
Due to the abundant water and vegetation in this area, herbivores do not need to migrate with the seasons, so there are more carnivores such as lions and spotted hyenas than elsewhere. Some lions soon discover that domestic cattle and sheep are far easier to catch than wild ones, and gradually become fond of preying on domestic animals. This is the lifeblood of the Maasai X, and the sudden occurrence of man and lion is inevitable. According to statistics, there were about 500,000 lions on the African continent in the early 50s, and after 60 years, less than 10,000 are scattered in nature reserves in various countries. One of the important reasons is that Marseille hunts lions that steal cattle and sheep.
Now, of course, it is no longer allowed to hunt lions, but the Maasai will set traps to protect their cattle and sheep to catch them alive and hand them over to the authorities to send them far away.
Ferrero, the son of the chief, led eight of his boys to the foot of Mount Galen tonight to set a trap to prevent lions from going to their village to steal livestock.
The night in the grassland is very lively, and from time to time the roar of a male lion can be heard in the distance, and the strange bark of spotted hyenas. In the jungle, from time to time, some people with green eyes stared at them, some herbivores and some carnivores.
Ferrero walked to a grassy passage between the two jungles, picked a spot, and prepared to set a trap with his companions.
Suddenly, one of the partners pointed to the sky and exclaimed, "Look, what's that?" ”
Ferrero looked up, and in the night sky, a huge black shadow was swooping towards the ground, with two lights flashing on the left and right green under his belly. Ferrero said: "It's a plane, oh my God, it's about to hit the ground, what is it going to do?" ”
As they spoke, the plane rumbled across the treetops not far in front of them, and the birds in the woods flew into the sky with a scream. Then there was a loud clatter, like countless elephants rampage through the forest. The plane gradually landed on the other side of the forest, and then a loud bang was heard, and the plane bounced again, staggering and continuing to rush forward. In the dark night, although I can't see clearly, the sound is also terrifying across the woods.
After a while, the dust settled, and the grassland gradually returned to calm. Ferrero was still staring blankly into the woods, when one of his men asked, "Would you like to go over and have a look?" ”
Ferrero said, "No, it's night, it's too dangerous." We'll go back to the village and call for someone, bring more torches."
Two hours later, Ferrero approached a behemoth with 20 villagers, carrying torches, and left a deep mark of 400 meters on the grassland behind it, as if it had been passed by a giant Tieli.
The huge black object was three stories tall, longer than three baobab trees combined, and his two huge wings spread out, with 100 vultures standing on it, were still rich. All this is enough to say that the plane is much bigger than the largest plane they have ever seen tourists fly.
People cautiously circled the plane and found that the shell of the plane was basically played, the doors and windows were closed, and only the tail cargo door was opened, and it reached the ground obliquely to form a slope to get on the plane. Ferrero took a villager down the slope to get on the plane, except for a few cargo boxes in the cabin, no one was found, he held a flashlight and walked to the cockpit, the cockpit was pitch black, and some black smoke came out of the gap in the instrument panel, emitting the smell of burnt material.
How come there is no one? Ferrero found it strange that although he was from Marseille, he had gone to school and been to big cities, and his horizons were still broad. He knew that if the plane made a successful forced landing, there must be someone, but now it was strange that no one could be found. While I was thinking, there was a commotion in the cabin, and when I looked back, a group of young men had opened the boxes and rummaged through the contents of the boxes in amazement.
Ferrero walked over quickly, the first box was filled with weapons and ammunition, he couldn't name them, but he could tell that there were sniper rifles and submachine guns in them, the same as the soldiers of country M on TV. He was not interested in weapons and ammunition, and went to the second box, good fellow, which was full of food, canned food, biscuits, and Coke yards.
Ferrero smiled, he didn't run in vain tonight. But after being happy, I was even more puzzled, where did the people who flew the plane make a forced landing? The plane was well fed with food and ammunition, which was a good thing to do to wait for help, so why did they abandon the plane and run away?
