Chapter 193: Panic in the Air

The crew was communicating nervously and seriously with the man in sunglasses.

The afterglow swept to Gu Ji who was approaching quickly, and the bald policeman's eyes were cold, and he took a decisive step to block the captain and the others behind him, and at the same time quickly touched his waist with his right hand.

"Hey! Didn't I ask you to come back to your seat? Don't go any further, or I'll take coercive action against you! ”

Hearing the warning, the passengers focused their eyes again.

Including the man in sunglasses, he also glanced back at Gu Ji.

He looked to be in his thirties, with dark brown skin, curly jelly, a thin mustache, a round face, a large black shirt collar, and a strong cologne spray on his body, which gave him the feeling of a ruffian.

But Gu Ji noticed that the other party's left hand hanging down on his thigh seemed to be holding something, which he hadn't noticed in the last round.

He stood where he was, smiling and spreading his hands, indicating that he was not threatened.

"Hehe, I'm just a little curious, Mr. Captain, how was today's flight, nothing abnormal, right?"

From this moment on, Betty's attitude changed.

His eyes looked back and forth on Gu Ji suspiciously, and finally whispered a few words in the captain's ear, explaining that he was the passenger who handed over the flight log.

The captain pursed his lips and responded in a calm tone:

"Rest assured, the weather is fine today and the voyage is going well."

"I mean, is there anything unusual about the behavior of the passengers in the cabin?"

As soon as Gu Ji's words came out, the faces of all the crew members changed, and even the man in sunglasses was slightly stunned.

Really.

This time you've found the right one!

The crew was being held hostage by the man in sunglasses, and the two sides were negotiating just now, and judging from the performance of the purpose last week, the crew apparently agreed to a certain request from the man in sunglasses, and only then suddenly made a sharp turn and changed the course halfway.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

Airplanes are different from buses, trains and other means of transportation, some are similar to sea cruises, which are fully enclosed places, isolated, difficult to obtain outside support, and there are too many passengers on board, and the captain, as the person in charge of the flight, needs to consider many factors.

For example, is the man in sunglasses really hijacking the plane alone, does he have accomplices, is the weapon in his hand real or bluffing, what is the mental condition of the other party, will it cause a major tragedy, do the crew members have enough courage and ability to bring the hijackers to justice after the hijacking, and can he save every passenger in the hijacking case?

There are many questions like this.

A summary of historical hijackings shows that a reckless anti-hijacking operation can lead to a suicide attack by terrorists under pressure to detonate explosives or chemical or biological weapons.

The captain's agreement to the terrorists' request is not a compromise, but the best option on the basis of taking into account the pros and cons of all parties.

The flight attendants and the air police chose to remain silent, probably to take care of the passengers' emotions and to reveal to everyone that the plane was hijacked, which would not only cause panic among everyone, but also might provoke the terrorists, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

Instead, it is better to hold off the terrorists first, contact the airlines and the police in time, and let the professionals take charge of the solution.

In the summer of 1989, the crew of the National Civil Aviation hijacking incident followed this plan, pretending to allow the terrorists to change the route, and finally cooperated with the Dongying police to successfully stop the hijacker's plot.

Without waiting for the captain to speak, the air police said with an unkind face: "I said, you are the one who behaves the most abnormally, return to your seat immediately, this is the last warning!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he pulled off the holster and squeezed his hand on the grip.

Unexpectedly, the freckled woman came over at this time and shouted, "Is the police amazing?" Uncle is obviously helping me to do righteous and courageous deeds, why are you restricting his freedom! ”

Seeing that the situation was escalating more and more, the passengers were curiously stretching their necks, and some even unbuckled their seat belts and stood up, taking out their mobile phones to record and shoot, all wanting to see how he ended.

But Gu Ji himself didn't feel a little nervous, but raised his hand unhurriedly and pointed to the left hand of the man in sunglasses:

"What is it in his hand, is it a detonator?"

"Detonator?"

"Oh my God, what's going on......"

"It can't be a terrorist, right?"

None of the crew members expected that Gu Ji would say such things so bluntly and boldly, it was like throwing a big stone into a calm lake, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves, instantly stirring up a riot among the passengers.

"What are you talking nonsense!"

"Sir, it is illegal to spread panic rhetoric on an airplane."

The bald policeman and the captain hurriedly scolded, for fear that Gu Ji's remarks would anger the man in sunglasses, so he pressed the thing in his hand in advance.

That's right.

Gu Ji directly came to a "bright card", and now there are less than seven minutes before the accident breaks out, he must do everything possible to break the dead end of the last round, and take the initiative to intervene in the accident process, even if he can't solve the terrorists, at least he can't interfere with the emergency landing of the crew members.

And he was not worried that this would spur the gangsters to commit radical acts that would end up together.

Because before rushing to the cabin, he heard the man in sunglasses muttering "how can this be", indicating that he was also afraid of crashing, so this was not a suicide terrorist attack.

The man in sunglasses is here with a purpose!

Even if he prepares for the worst, this round still fails to complete the target task, and he has to do his best to gather intelligence.

The Scarlet Countdown is running out of time for him!

"Captain, I need you to come to the cab."

At this time, a broadcast in the voice of a young man suddenly sounded in the cabin, which should be the co-pilot of this flight.

The captain shifted his gaze from Gu Ji to the man in sunglasses, took a deep look, patted Purser Betty on the shoulder, and finally turned around and returned to the cabin.

"Mr. Yasen, please return to your seat immediately!"

"Everybody's back to their seats! It's not safe......"

Betty walked over with a blonde stewardess and stretched out her hand, wanting Gu Ji and the other passengers to return to their seats, but at this time, the Middle Eastern curly hair jumped out again to make trouble, and asked nervously, "What happened?" He just talked about explosives! What the hell is that man holding in his hand! Is it a terrorist attack? ”

"Sir, please calm down! Get back to your seat! ”

"I'm not going back! I'm getting off the plane! Get me off the plane right away! Oh my God, this flight is about to explode! ”

"Ahh

Middle Eastern Curly pushed away the blonde stewardess who was blocking her, and then rushed desperately in the direction of the cabin.

Seeing this, the bald air police immediately pulled out their pistols:

"Stop! Stop now! ”

"Ahh The police are going to shoot and kill! We're all going to die here! ”

Middle Eastern Curly stood in place in horror, holding his head with his hands and shouting loudly.

It was only at this time that Gu Ji understood why he was so nervous, it should be suffering from diseases such as "placephobia", whenever he took a plane, he would feel rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, headache, anxiety and irritability, sweating, nausea, weakness, blood pressure changes, etc.

This may be related to a fear of heights, or it may be a person who has witnessed an air crash and is extremely afraid of airplanes.

"God! What the hell is going on......"

"I'm starting to get scared!"

"Purser, please! Was that man really a terrorist? ”

"yes, everybody's concerned about safety!"

……

The extreme behavior of the Middle Eastern curls was like lighting a fuse, instantly arousing panic in the hearts of the passengers, forcing the crew to tell the truth.

Betty looked embarrassed, looking at Gu Ji in front of her, there seemed to be a complaint in her eyes, as if she was blaming him for why he took the initiative to stir up trouble just now.

Without waiting for her to speak, the man in sunglasses, who had been silent, raised his left hand suddenly, measured out a cylinder the size of lipstick, like a spray, and said sharply:

"I'll say it one last time, change my direction to Mattsalan immediately, or I'll activate the VX poison in my hand!"

"Poison?"

"Ahh Run, everyone!! He has a virus in his hands! ”

"Ahβ€”β€”!h

The moment they heard the "poison", the passengers immediately burst out in panic and screamed, like a lion rushing into a flock, everyone frantically squeezed and fled to the back of the cabin, and the young college students simply stepped on the seats and flipped back, while running away, while calling the name of the freckled woman "Chloe", one of the aunts with inconvenient legs and feet accidentally fell to the ground, and then was stepped on by the people behind her, and let out a terrible scream.

"Don't run around, everyone! This is very dangerous! ”

"Get back to your seat right away!"

Betty and the blonde stewardess shouted desperately to try to stop the stampede from happening, but no one would listen to them in front of the "poison".

Gu Ji had actually expected this scene a long time ago.

He also knew that someone would get hurt, but he had no choice but to do this.

Compared to the crash of the airliner, everyone was burned to charcoal, and a little flesh and skin were nothing at the moment.

It's just that he didn't expect that what the man in sunglasses was holding in his hand turned out to be the famous VX poison.

VX poison is a kind of nerve toxin, it was included in the standard equipment of the army from the beginning of its birth, and later received the attention and research of many countries, belongs to the third generation of chemical warfare agents, is a more toxic nerve agent than sarin, ranking first among the top ten deadly poison gases.

It itself is an oily liquid, but as soon as it comes into contact with the air, it will instantly turn into gas, the key is that its nature is strong, as long as 10 milligrams can cause death, whether it is through the skin, objects, ground, air contact, the central nervous system of the human body will be damaged, respiratory arrest, and eventually lose life.

No wonder the captain of the chief engineer would so simply agree to change course, and even the air police did not dare to stop it.

The device in the hand of the man in sunglasses should be a structure similar to tear gas, as long as you press the button, the oily liquid inside will immediately turn into a gas spray and quickly disperse into the air.

Because VX is typically persistent, the killing effect lasts from a few hours to a few days and nights.

However, civil airliners are positive pressure enclosed spaces, and it is difficult for the poison gas to disperse for a while, so as long as the VX poison is scattered into the aircraft, it will always be harmful, and no one can live!

"Put things down! Once you start it, you won't survive either! ”

When the bald policeman saw that the man in sunglasses revealed himself, he didn't care about the other passengers in the cabin, so he immediately turned his gun and aimed it at the terrorist's head.

The man in sunglasses took off his glasses, revealing a pair of sharp and cruel eyes, and grinned, "If you have a kind of shooting, see if your gun is fast, or my hand is fast!" Turn right away!! ”

Ding dong!

The seat belt warning light above the head of the cabin suddenly turned on, but because Gu Ji changed the development of the incident, this broadcast was carried out by the captain of the cockpit, "I am the captain of this flight, don't be afraid, return to your seat, fasten your seat belt, we are going to change course to the destination, to Matesaran, Mexico, please believe me, believe the crew members, we will do our best to send you home safely!" ”

The captain's stern tone brought some passengers back to reality from their panic.

Everyone only reacted at this time, the man in sunglasses just asked the flight to change direction, as long as he did it according to his goal, maybe everyone would be fine.

What's more, when you get to the ground, there will be police and troops, and it will be safer than now.

So some people began to return to their seats, but all in the back of the cabin, and when this happened, no one dared to go back to the place next to the man in sunglasses.

But there are also some people who find that things are not quite right.

Matsalan, Mexico......

"Isn't Mattsalan a city in Sinaloa?"

I don't know who shouted.

The next moment, everyone fell into panic again.

But anyone in the border areas of the United States, or in Central America, knows what "Sinaloa" means, which is the nest of Mexico's most powerful drug cartel!!

Gu Ji narrowed his eyes.

For more than half a century, Mexican drug dealers have controlled half of the country step by step, and the dirty tentacles have reached every corner, and the law and order are almost useless to drug trafficking groups, even the police and the army are helpless.

Among them, the "Sinaloa drug cartel" in Mexico and even in the whole of America, only "the largest", not "one".

The chieftain, Goumans the Elf, is second to none among the global drug lords.

In order to capture him, the Mexican authorities sent elite troops to carry out three secret arrest operations, which consumed a lot of energy and human lives, and he escaped from prison, and after the last successful arrest, in order to prevent him from escaping from prison for the third time, he could only be extradited to the United States.

The most recent time the Sinaloa Group caused an international sensation was in January 23, when it attacked Mexican military aircraft and civilian airliners.

A large number of armed members of drug cartels poured into the city of CuliacΓ‘n, the capital of the Mexican state of Sinaloa, where they looted, set fires, engaged in fierce shootouts with the Mexican armed forces, attacked police and military forces elsewhere, surrounded police stations with heavy weapons and even stormed the airport and attacked a civilian airliner preparing to take off.

The scale of such a counterattack was rare even during the entire Mexican war on drugs.

The Sinaloa group's trip was aimed at forcing the Mexican authorities to release Goummans' son, Odilawi, but it ended in failure.

It seems that the purpose of the man in sunglasses using VX nerve agent to hijack the flight to change the direction of Mat Saran should be the same.

As long as the flight landed in the nest of the Sinaloa drug cartel, the drug traffickers were able to control the passengers and use it as a bargaining chip to force the Mexican authorities to negotiate the release of Odilawi.

Attacking civilian airliners and blatantly provoking the national government.

I did it twice.

What a guts!

No wonder since Den Benrah was killed in 2011, Gomans has been able to "promote" to the top of the Forbes list of the world's top ten villains.

Flying from Los Angeles to Panama City is from northwest to southeast.

Sinaloa, on the west side of the route, must have waited for the flight to fly out of the United States and into Mexico, and then handed over US dollars to the flight attendant, with the remarks and purpose of the terrorist attack written on it, so Captain Zhou Zhou would turn to the right halfway, that is, the west side of the northern hemisphere.

It's a pity that halfway through the extreme flight accident of "double engine failure".

However, four-fifths of the territory of Mexico belongs to the Mexican highlands, and it is difficult to land at high altitudes, let alone make an emergency landing, and the probability of a crash is very high.

In Gu Ji's impression, there have been two successful forced landings in history.

One was the 2019 Ural Airlines flight U6178 crash landing in cornfields, and the other was the 2009 US Airways flight 1549 Hudson River forced landing, which is the prototype of the well-known "Captain Sully" movie.

"In the plateau area, the emergency landing is another dead end......"

Gu Ji gritted his teeth, wondering in his heart how to break the game.

The captain had already started to turn the right aileron, and after the crew had placed all the passengers in their seats, they turned around and came back to dissuade him from returning to his seat.

Gu Jiyi turned his head.

Good guys, the back half of the cabin is full of boarding, and no one is left behind.

In the entire front area of the cabin, except for the bald policeman, the purser Betty, and the man in sunglasses, there was only Gu Ji left.

"Uncle! Come here! ”

Chloe, the freckled woman, waved her arms, but she hadn't forgotten the uncle who was willing to help.

But Gu Ji didn't pay attention to her.

Under the horrified gaze of a group of passengers, he sat at the front of the economy class.

That is, diagonally opposite the men's seat in sunglasses!
