Chapter 1103: Chapter 1100: Rescue Plan in Crisis
The plane continued to climb in altitude, and Luofeng’s heart grew increasingly tense.
Because he had already noticed the middle-aged man on the right was dozing off.
This was not normal; the man was experiencing oxygen deficiency.
Such situations were more common in the economy class because there are more passengers, resulting in more serious oxygen deficiency.
The real issue with this plane wasn’t the air conditioning malfunction but the pressurization system. The cabin’s pressurization system wasn’t functioning properly, causing the cabin to slowly depressurize.
It’s like experiencing altitude sickness in highland regions.
Luofeng checked the multimedia system in the first-class cabin. The plane’s altitude had already reached 6,000 meters and was still ascending, while commercial airplanes typically fly between 7,000 and 12,000 meters.
Imagine the altitude sickness at such a height.
When the plane reached 10,000 meters in altitude, Luofeng also felt a dull headache; this was due to oxygen deficiency.
In less than three minutes, the oxygen masks dropped down in the passenger cabin, and Luofeng immediately put one on.
The broadcast also came through with the flight attendant’s announcement, indicating the plane had encountered some mechanical issues, and the captain was handling it.
But Luofeng knew this was all a lie.
Because the oxygen masks in the cockpit had issues, they couldn’t supply normal oxygen.
This resulted in the captain and co-pilot falling unconscious.
The plane was now in automatic flight mode.
Yes, planes are very advanced now, equipped with autopilot systems. Generally, the captain controls takeoff and landing, while most mid-flight operations are handled by automatic systems.
After all, traffic conditions in the stratosphere are far simpler than those on the ground.
Luofeng pressed the service button again, but this time, no flight attendants came over. They too were weak, barely able to stand.
Qin Zhonglang, who was secretly protecting Luofeng, had already stood up, reminding, "Boss Luo, something’s wrong; I’m finding it difficult to breathe, like we’re at a high altitude!"
"I noticed too. Hand me the satellite phone, and you check the situation in economy class!" Luofeng said.
Qin Zhonglang handed the satellite phone to Luofeng and then went to check the situation in economy class.
Conditions were worse in economy class, even though everyone had oxygen masks on. Most people’s heads hung low, obviously unconscious, including the flight attendants.
Qin Zhonglang being able to accompany Luofeng on the plane was naturally a strong point in this aspect.
Like taking a bodyguard with you on a boat, being good with water is a basic requirement for the bodyguard, right?
"This is Huang Qiyang!"
Luofeng had already used the satellite phone to call Huang Qiyang.
"It’s me, Old Huang; I’m Luofeng!" Luofeng said seriously.
"Why are you using a satellite phone?" Huang Qiyang asked, puzzled.
"I’m on the plane, and there’s an issue with this flight, flight number XEA..." Luofeng quickly explained.
"From the current situation, the cabin is depressurized; oxygen masks are failing. Aside from me and a security personnel, most have fallen unconscious!"
"I’m unable to ascertain the situation in the cockpit, but I suspect there’s been an accident there too!" Luofeng said.
"Old Huang, what should I do now?" Luofeng asked in a serious and calm tone.
But hearing Old Huang’s instructions, Luofeng rubbed his temples, nearly fainting.
"Are you joking with me?"
"Old Huang, I’m not kidding; tell me the solution quickly!" Luofeng said calmly.
"Alright, alright, just wait a moment!" Huang Qiyang realized the seriousness of the issue and became anxious.
Dozens of seconds later, someone under Huang Qiyang reported, "Boss, we’ve found the flight; Mr. Luo is indeed on flight XEA!"
Huang Qiyang’s mind was blown.
Luofeng really is on a plane with an accident?
Something big is going to happen.
Huang Qiyang was well aware of the influence Luofeng held.
Just the Zhongyi Tang alone made Huang Qiyang apprehensive and highly vigilant.
Not to mention Fengshun Investment, the power in Siam, Blue Future’s graphene, brave core technology, and so on.
If something happened to Luofeng, these companies would fall into chaos.
Even worse, losing Luofeng as the key link would cause disputes over interests, leading to a chain of issues.
So Huang Qiyang now, at all costs, had to save Luofeng.
Even at the expense of everything.
Luofeng queried again, "What should I do now?"
"First, go and knock on the cockpit door, listen for any response inside. Meanwhile, I’ll immediately contact the airport on your end to check the flight’s status!"
"Okay!" Luofeng replied, "I’ll hang up now and contact Zhongyi Tang Company!"
"What are you planning to do?" Huang Qiyang asked nervously, a worrisome thought flashing through his mind.
"Don’t worry, I won’t act irrationally; we haven’t reached the final moment yet!" Luofeng said.
Huang Qiyang understood the undertone in Luofeng’s statement; the final moment hadn’t come yet, but if it did, he might do something irrational?
Between life and death, there is great fear!
Huang Qiyang couldn’t be sure what choice Luofeng would make at the brink of life and death.
"Alright, let’s keep calm; I’ll try my best to assist you!" Huang Yi said.
"Speed up the process; I’m calm now but can’t guarantee I’ll remain calm afterward!" Luofeng stated.
"Okay, I’m on it immediately!" Huang Qiyang said.
Just as Huang Qiyang began to take action, he received a call from Su Ya.
"If it’s not important, don’t say it now; I’m busy!" Huang Qiyang shouted.
"I need your help; the XEA flight encountered an accident, and I need more detailed information!"
Huang Qiyang realized, "You received the news too!"
"What do you mean?" Su Ya paused.
"Luofeng is on that flight! Where did you get the news from?" Huang Qiyang asked.
"I got it from the air traffic control headquarters; XEZ flight is not responding to radio, and my sister-in-law Wu Yingying and niece Su Yuan are on that flight!" Su Ya replied.
Huang Qiyang was speechless; what’s happening?
All these situations converging?
"Are you sure!?" Huang Qiyang asked.
"I’m sure; the air traffic control headquarters has confirmed it!"
"Why are they in Shu City?"
Su Ya said, "Traveling!"
Huang Qiyang’s mind was about to explode; Luofeng’s situation hadn’t been handled yet, and now there were Su Ya’s sister-in-law and niece involved?
"Uncle Huang, is Luofeng on the flight too?" Su Ya exclaimed.
"Yes, come to our place; I’m busy with something now, no time to explain much!" Huang Qiyang said.
"Alright!" Su Ya nodded and quickly hung up the phone.
Huang Qiyang methodically directed various tasks.
Then, information was fed back to Huang Qiyang, bit by bit.
Looking at these messages, he proactively contacted Luofeng.
"Good news!" Huang Qiyang announced.
