Chapter 1277 The Return Journey

Zhang Heng looked at the old seal in his hand, but he couldn’t find anything special about it.

It was just an ordinary stone. The material was no different from other stones that could be found everywhere on the road. The level of carving on it was also very poor, and it was obvious that it hadn’t been made for a long time.

When Zhang Heng first saw it, he thought it was a prank carved on it, or perhaps it was a new work that an apprentice sculptor had used to practice, it was hard to imagine that such an inconspicuous object would help Sartrus and Dr. Baker avoid the nightmares for a period of time, and also help them avoid the monsters’attacks.

Even though it was only useful for that, it was unable to help Sartrus and the others withstand the siege of the monsters in the city under the ice. In the end, the enemy finally stopped, it was only because he was worried that he would die immediately after killing the humans, which would affect the escape of the master of the city. It wasn’t enough to stop them from falling into madness.

Regardless, this was one of the few things that had been proven to be effective against the monster and his minions. Zhang Heng still hoped to find out how it worked, he was going to bring this thing to the game point to be appraised after he returned to China. However, considering the role of the bartender in this matter, this appraisal was obviously not suitable for her, zhang Heng planned to bring this stone to his hometown’s game point later.

The Waiting Hall soon rang with a broadcast, informing the passengers of Zhang Heng’s flight to prepare to board the plane. So Zhang Heng put the stone away again and carried his suitcase onto the shuttle.

Greenland Airlines had a total of 10 passenger planes and 20 helicopters. Although the number was not large, it was enough to meet their daily travel needs. Zhang Heng was riding on an assault 8-300, this was a passenger plane developed by Canada’s de Havilland Aircraft Company in the 1980s.

It had been some time since then, but fortunately, it was still reliable. There were a total of 56 seats on the assault 8-300, but most of the time, it would not be full because this island in the Arctic Circle usually did not have a lot of traffic, although the appearance of the Red Aurora had caused many tourists to rush to Greenland, there weren’t many people who left at the moment.

Zhang Heng found his seat according to the seat number on the boarding pass. Then, he helped a pregnant woman sitting next to him put her luggage on the luggage rack. After receiving the gratitude of the latter, he even took out a bag of potato chips as a thank you gift.

Zhang Heng took the potato chips and glanced at the cabin. By then, most of the passengers had already arrived and were looking for their seats. There was a group of family members who were out on a trip, and there was a couple who were in love, there was also a group of older sisters... Everyone looked normal, and Zhang Heng didn’t see any fanatics among them.

In fact, the fanatics were easy to identify because they were not in a good state of mind. Their faces were pale, and their eyes were sick. This was why they needed the art museum to hide their identity.

After sizing up the passengers, Zhang Heng looked at the crew. The flight attendants were all in high spirits. Zhang Heng waved for the flight attendant to come over and ask about the pilots.

The flight attendant told Zhang Heng that the captain and co-pilot of this flight had more than ten years of flying experience and maintained a zero-accident record. There was no need to worry at all. After that, he wished Zhang Heng a pleasant journey.

Zhang Heng also nodded his thanks. Very soon, the plane left the runway under the pilot’s control and flew into the sky. Just as the flight attendant had said, the entire process was very smooth. And in the next half an hour.., other than the turbulence that lasted for half a minute, there was nothing else worth noticing.

When the plane reached the designated altitude, the flight attendants began to work. They handed out drinks and food and gave the pregnant woman a blanket.

After eating the bread and sausage, Zhang Heng lowered his seat slightly. Then, he closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap. However, the next moment, he felt the fuselage suddenly shake.

Zhang Heng opened his eyes. Through the window, he saw that the engine under his left wing seemed to have stopped.

Then, he heard a scream coming from the right side. Someone shouted something and pressed the call button for the flight attendant. Then, all the oxygen masks fell off, and the fuselage started to fall.

All of this happened so quickly that most of the passengers on the plane did not even have time to react. The next second, screams and cries filled the entire cabin.

The pilot and the co-pilot, who had been chatting casually in the cockpit, sat back in their seats. The 52-year-old pilot’s forehead was covered in sweat. At this moment, he was as confused as his passengers, he did not understand what had happened. The numbers on the dashboard were still normal one moment, but in the next moment, there was an air stop. Moreover, both engines had inexplicably lost power.

Stopping in the air was very rare in flight. Most pilots would never encounter it in their lifetime, and even if they did, they would not die without a doubt. Although it was dangerous to lose power in the air, but if the posture of the plane was adjusted in time, and the resistance and speed of the plane were coordinated, and the lift force and gravity generated by the wings were coordinated, it was possible to make a successful landing. Of course, this will be a very difficult test of the pilot’s operation.

СО

The most famous case in this case is the flight of American Airlines Flight 1549 was hit by a bird during flight, and finally succeeded in landing on the Hudson River in New York, which is a miracle in the history of flight, it was later made into a movie “Captain Sally,”in addition to the accident of Air Canada Flight 143, and so on.

The captain of the assault 8-300 was not as famous as Sally, but he was also experienced. After encountering a parking in the air, his hands and feet were cold, but he quickly regained his spirit, he was confident that he could land the plane on the sea.

Therefore, he followed the rules of the flight manual and turned on the APU auxiliary power device at the first time. He was ready to switch to manual operation, but the next moment, his face turned pale.

This was because he realized that there was no reaction after turning on the APU. He tried the other buttons and found that the other buttons did not respond at all. The dashboard was still lit up, but the numbers on it did not change anymore, it was as if it was frozen in place by some mysterious force.

“Why! Why! ! !”The captain tried several times but to no avail, he smashed the dashboard with his fist angrily, causing cracks to appear on the dashboard. He roared in despair, because the current him could do nothing but Roar.

And along with his roar, the 8-300 was also like a bird that had lost its wings, diving into the ocean below.
