Chapter 152 Temporary Captain
Obviously, Goddess of Luck’s blessings have come to an end.
Among the nearly fifty passengers, no one had experience flying a passenger plane.
The only one with flying experience was an American landowner who had flown a small plane and sprayed pesticides on his farm.
That was twenty years ago!
There was no other way. Lu Qi, who had helicopter piloting skills, had no choice but to bite the bullet and become a temporary captain.
Let Ghost and Xiaoqiang stay in the lower cabin and be responsible for comforting the passengers. Lu Qi and Ella came to the cockpit to prepare for the self-rescue of this unfortunate passenger plane that had lost its pilot and could only rely on the autopilot...
Seeing Lu Qi sitting in the driver's seat, leaning forward slightly and familiarizing himself with the various instruments and buttons on the control panel, Ella blinked and asked involuntarily:
"Sir, do you really know how to fly this thing?"
"No. However, I can fly helicopters. Passenger planes and helicopters should be about the same...right?"
Seeing that Ella still looked suspicious, Lu Qi couldn't help but smile, picked up the pilot headphones, shrugged, and said:
"Besides, I'm not alone..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qi put on the pilot headphones and followed the prompts on the control panel to open the communication channel.
"Help! Help! This is Fluger Air flight ce3489. Please reply when you receive it."
"Tower received, please speak."
"I am Second Lieutenant Mars from the 141st Special Service Group. There is an emergency here..."
Following Lu Qi's self-report and detailed explanation, the control tower at Groningen International Airport learned the whole story.
While sending someone to notify the 141 European branch, the tower's logistics staff continued to communicate with the "temporary captain" Lu Qi.
Under the guidance of the tower personnel, Lu Qi first took out a quick checklist and checked various instruments to confirm that the engine was not damaged and the power system was intact.
After confirming that the passenger plane was still flying on the scheduled heading, the tower personnel couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then told Lu Qi the good news:
"Very good, the autopilot should continue to maintain navigation. However, for safety reasons, we will direct you to the nearest Berlin Tegel Airport for an emergency landing."
"receive."
After being reminded by the tower personnel, Lu Qi realized that they were now over the German border.
It is only dozens of miles away from Berlin, the capital of Germany.
After waiting for a while, a female voice came from Lu Qi's earphones:
"This is the control tower of Tegel Airport. CE3489, you can use the left take-off and landing route and land on runway 6."
"receive."
With the assistance of the autopilot and his own experience in flying aircraft, Lu Qi held the joystick tightly and controlled the passenger plane, and finally landed smoothly on the runway of Berlin's Tegel Airport!
With the slight trembling of the passenger plane, it finally calmed down...
Looking through the driver's window at the many ground service vehicles and police cars that had been waiting on the airport runway, Lu Qi casually took off his headphones and let out a long sigh of relief.
Ella, who was sitting in the co-pilot and witnessed the entire emergency landing process, could not believe it until this moment.
Lu Qi actually piloted the passenger plane that lost its pilot and landed smoothly!
"you did it!"
Hearing this, Lu Qi turned to look at Ella, the co-pilot, and smiled at her:
"No, we did it!"
...
Berlin, Tegel Airport.
After explaining the situation to the 141 European branch personnel who arrived, the four of them, Lu Qi, were able to escape from Berlin's investigation.
Just as he was about to take a break and recover from the thrill just now, Lu Qi suddenly received a call from the 141 headquarters.
I thought it was the command calling to confirm the progress of the mission, but I didn’t expect that the person on the other end of the phone was actually the boss of 141!
"This is Sheffield, A-6, are you still in Germany?"
Hearing Sheffield's deep voice, Lu Qi was not used to it, and then responded:
"Yes, sir. We are at Berlin Tegel Airport, ready to return to base."
"No, you don't need to come back yet. Next is a new mission. I need you to lead the team to Hamburg immediately. We are in trouble!"
...
At the same time, Hamburg was about three hundred kilometers away from Berlin.
A small convoy consisting of an all-black bulletproof van and three SUVs was speeding along a federal highway with no speed limit.
It is worth noting that a bulletproof van was protected by SUVs on the front and rear. It seemed that the passengers in the car were very important people.
The speed of the convoy was not slow, but when they approached the urban area, they involuntarily slowed down.
And just when the convoy had just passed the outskirts of the town and wanted to continue accelerating, an accident happened!
I saw two SUVs with their fronts stuck together, forming a V shape across the middle of the road, blocking their way.
Two men who seemed to be car owners were on the road, blaming each other, as if they were complaining about the other's irregular driving.
It looked like this was obviously a minor accident.
Seeing this scene, the SUV driving at the front couldn't help but slow down slowly and finally stopped.
A bald man in a suit sitting in the passenger seat looked down at his watch and then frowned.
I saw him turning around and giving instructions to the two men in suits sitting in the back seat:
"Dale, Benelli, you two go out and take a look and get rid of them quickly."
"Yes, sir."
After receiving the order, the two men casually buttoned up their suits, blocked the pistols at their waists, and then got out of the car and walked towards the two people quarreling.
"Gentlemen, do you need any help?"
Hearing this, a brown-haired man standing on the left wearing a black coat turned his head and grinned at the two people who asked.
It is worth mentioning that this man, who combs his hair up like a Wall Street elite, actually has a pair of eyes with different eye colors.
One side is green, the other side is blue.
The man spread his hands and responded in a deep voice in somewhat awkward German:
"Yes, I need your..."
"life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man standing on the right, who was still looking aggrieved, suddenly moved!
I saw him reaching for his waist, suddenly pulling out a pistol, and firing several shots at the two people who were close at hand!
Bang bang bang!
Before they had time to respond, the two men in suits who asked kindly died on the spot!
Seeing this scene, the bald man sitting in the passenger seat of the USV suddenly shrank his pupils.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: enemy attack!
Just as he hurriedly reached for the walkie-talkie to inform the convoy of the news, a rocket with a flaming tail struck at high speed from the bushes on the side of the road!
With a "boom", the SUV was instantly blown into a blazing fireball.
Chapter completed!
