086. [Shenhai + Misue] Emergency landing
Landing in thirty minutes?
Virginia picked up the phone in the plane and dialed the cockpit: "I'm Virginia." It's just taken off, why do you have to land again? β
"Because we ran out of fuel," Joel replied, "the plane now has enough fuel to fly for another thirty minutes." β
"Where are we going to land?"
"Cold Spring Town."
Virginia looked dazed: "Cold Spring Town? Where is that......? β
"It's a small town next to Lake Livingston. There's an aviation school there, there's an airport to land into. If you're lucky, you're sure to find enough oil. β
"Why don't you go to the bigger airports? I think Dallas International Airport isβ"
Joel may have been a little impatient and interrupted Virginia rudely: "The more people there are, the more dangerous it is, the zombies at Aocheng Airport, did you forget it so quickly?" There are fewer zombies at the small airport, and it is easier to deal with. β
Over the forest, over the lake, and after more than twenty minutes, the outline of a lakeside town gradually emerged in the night.
The city is small, it is said that there are less than six hundred inhabitants, and with some tourists, it will never exceed seven hundred. From the sky, there are about two or three hundred wooden houses scattered between the lake and the mountains and forests. This is a standard rice country with a very loose pattern.
From the sky, Cold Springs is peaceful and does not seem to be affected by a large outbreak of spore infection. The city is lit with street lights, the streets are neat and orderly, and there is no sign of attack.
Is there really a miracle?
Nan Xiao didn't want to say a word, for fear of becoming another Flag. He glanced at Virginia, hoping that the aunt had better keep her mouth shut. She has already set up a very classic flag, and if she comes again, she really can't stand it.
At this time, Joel turned on the in-flight communication: "Everyone, pay attention, things are a little abnormal, be vigilant." β
Nan Xiao immediately grabbed the phone in the machine: "What's the problem below?" β
Joel's voice smacked of conspiracy theories: "It's so quiet, like nothing happened." In my opinion, nothing happens to me as the weirdest thing. The whole country is in chaos, and it is impossible that there is nothing going on here. β
Virginia disagreed: "Maybe order has been restored here?" β
Joel probably didn't want to argue with her, and just said, "I'll try to call the ground." The best outcome is that no one pays attention to me, which means that everyone down there is dead. We landed, took enough fuel, and left. Tommy went to find a gas truck, and I alerted Nanxiao. If you are found by zombies, kill them all. β
Nan Xiao thought to herself: I'm afraid it didn't go so well.
He always had a premonition that something was going to happen.
After circling around, Joel found his way to the airport. He tentatively called the tower, and to his surprise, received an answer.
"This is the Cold Spring Town Aviation School Airport," said a rather ecstatic female voice, "Gulfstream G650, what are you doing?" β
Joel froze a little, then said, "Gulfstream G650 request landing, repeat, request landing." β
The ecstasy female voice on the opposite side was silent for a moment, and replied, "Permission to land, please follow the guidance of the ground lights." β
Suddenly, two rows of lights lit up on the ground, illuminating the runway very clearly. This is the standard procedure for landing at night, and the opposite side is knowledgeable.
The nose of the fuselage began to turn downward, and the plane entered the landing procedure, tilting gracefully to the left.
In the communication channel, Joel began to gossip with the ground, and his tone was very relaxed: "You know, I learned to drive here and got a private license." Is Instructor Anna okay? How is she doing now? β
Ground replied, "She's fine, but she's not here right now." In the last few days, she has taken a leave of absence and has not said where she is going. β
The next moment, Joel switched to the in-flight communication: "You all heard the call with the ground just now, right?" I'm sure something must have happened down there. β
"There is no instructor named Anna at this airport at all?" Nan Xiao asked.
"No, there are two," Joel replied, "if it's really someone from the Cold Spring Aviation School on the other side, they'll ask which Anna I'm mentioning." β
Virginia was suddenly nervous: "What should I do?" Do you want to land? β
"There's only enough fuel to fly for a few more minutes. If we didn't land, our only end up would be to fall in Lake Livingston to the east. β
"But ......"
"Don't worry," Nan Xiao proposed a plan, "When the time comes, Joel will be in charge of negotiating with them and seeing what they want." I slipped out of the manhole and set up the machine gun behind them. If it doesn't make sense, ask them to eat the bullets. β
This plan is very reliable at first hearing, and everyone thinks it is very good.
