Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Jiang Cheng’s Slick Maneuvering (7)

A ground crew member had no idea what to do, the communication equipment was cut off, and part of the instrument panel was damaged, leaving them unable to determine the airport’s location. How were they supposed to proceed?

However, Jiang Cheng did not appear overly flustered; his expression remained exceptionally calm. Although part of the instrument panel was damaged, it was still possible to determine the rough position of the flight path, which was still feasible.

”Can you still connect to your cell phone now?” Jiang Cheng piloted the plane as he asked a flight attendant in the back.

The flight attendant turned on her phone, only to find that the screen already displayed no signal at all. She shook her head and said to Jiang Cheng, ”Even though we don’t need to pay attention to signal interference issues anymore at this moment, the phone still has no signal, so there’s no way to contact the command center below.

Is that so... Jiang Cheng realized the severity of the situation. As he was contemplating countermeasures in his mind, he continued piloting the passenger aircraft.

Soon enough, he saw what seemed to be a shadow ahead, likely another flight. He accelerated to approach that plane and opened the emergency communication frequency, hoping to contact them!

”Looks like the flight path is really confused; no wonder the instrument panel is damaged, it’s really unreliable.” Jiang Cheng shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless. Those hijackers had really done everything thorough; not only did they cut off the communication equipment, but they also damaged part of the instrument panel during their fight with the pilots, rendering him unable to determine the airport’s location.

At this point, the only hope was to contact the nearby aircraft and then find the location of the airport.

Ah, there’s actually a passenger aircraft ahead! Fortunately, Mr. Jiang’s smog-curing bacteria worked wonders, making everything so clear to see!

The flight attendant exclaimed excitedly. She knew what encountering a passenger aircraft meant; using the emergency communication frequency on the plane, they could contact the aircraft ahead! Hello? Is that the passenger aircraft ahead of us? Our flight was attacked by hijackers, and now both pilots are in a critical situation. I’m the pilot of this plane, and we cannot determine the airport location now, please respond if you hear us, please respond if you hear us.

Through the emergency frequency, Jiang Cheng began calling the aircraft ahead.

There was no response from the aircraft ahead, apparently not having received what Jiang Cheng had said, causing anxiety among the maintenance staff and the flight attendant present. After all, that aircraft was their lifeline, and they were really clueless about the airport location with the flight path so entangled!

Wait, that aircraft ahead should be a Southern Airlines. We’re with Air China. Even though the flights are different, the landing location should still be at Luocheng Airport. Following behind them and maintaining a safe distance should help us find the airport location!” This maintenance personnel shouted excitedly.

Alright.” Jiang Cheng, hearing the maintenance staff’s words, realized that the situation was gradually turning for the better at this moment. Seeing that plane meant they could find the airport location.

Whether they could land safely or not, whether it would affect the other flights,

wasn’t something Jiang Cheng should consider. After all, there were hundreds of lives on this flight under hijacking. Special circumstances required special considerations. If those hundreds of lives perished, the executives of Air China might explode with anger and even resign in disgrace.

Hijackers on a flight, trying to hijack it? Even at a one-in-ten-thousand chance, no passenger would have a good impression of this flight, would they?

So, how to safeguard the lives of these hundreds of passengers was definitely Air China’s issue to resolve! As for flight adjustments or airport lockdowns, those were minor issues in comparison!

Jiang Cheng was trying to use the emergency communication frequency to contact the Southern Airlines aircraft ahead, but he never received any response, frustrating him. So, he continued trying to get a response through the emergency frequency.

”Hello, hello?”

Can you hear me? This is Air China Flight XXX, I’m acting pilot Jiang Cheng, and I need to discuss something with your captain.

Could you allow our flight to follow you for landing?”

Jiang Cheng repeatedly made several requests, but received no response, eventually deciding to stop trying to contact them and began increasing the plane’s power, chasing after the aircraft in front with all his might.

At this time, the captain of the Southern Airlines plane was dumbfounded, thinking that the Air China pilot behind him must be a trainee, always following his plane and long exceeded the safe distance, do they really think flight routes can be changed at will?

Damn it, is the pilot of the Air China plane behind out of his mind? Even trainees are much better than he is, looks like they even intend to overtake? Damn idiot.” The captain of the Southern Airlines flight obviously knew about the Air China plane pursuing his flight and couldn’t help but curse.

Different airlines have different routes, and the flight paths and flights definitely shouldn’t be confused. If they were mixed up, it could lead to a tremendous mess.

This captain had been in the industry for so many years but had never seen anyone this reckless in flying, flying this fast, seeming just about to crash into his plane the next moment, causing him to break into a cold sweat.

Looking at the radar, the Air China plane behind began accelerating again, startling him once more, he hurriedly sped

up, finally maintaining a safe distance from the flight behind.

This is Southern Airlines flight XXX, you have deviated from your route, do not accelerate anymore, please maintain a safe distance, I repeat, please maintain a safe distance!” Wiping the sweat off his forehead, the captain yelled over the communication. If it weren’t for needing to maintain a good demeanor, he’d likely be scolding the pilot of the aircraft behind.

However, just like Jiang Cheng’s attempts to communicate with him, his communication to Jiang Cheng also yielded no response.

Is no one responding? Damn, are they trying to die! Come on, catch up, with this temper of mine, looks like we’re going to have a race.” The captain cursed, annoyed that there was no reply and the hard-won safe distance was once again closed. Was Air China sending this plane to have a confrontation with Southern Airlines?

”Keep calm, maybe Air China sent a trainee. While this situation is almost impossible, maybe we were just unlucky,” the co-pilot laughed, dismissively commented.
