Chapter 43: Plane Crash, The Whole Network Pays Attention!
Jincheng.
In a high-end neighborhood.
"Call the police? Which branch of the police did he call?" Chen Mu looked at the message from Qin Mu, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. His face was full of frustration. He was suddenly dragged out of bed in the wee hours of the morning, and he was nearly frightened to death. He had expected to pay for mental damage if Qin Mu was upset, but he never expected that Qin Mu would threaten to call the police.
"After finishing this business, I will block him no matter what he says!" He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.
The next day, at the border of the four provinces, surrounded by mountains, a deafening roar echoed through the area.
The local residents instinctively raised their heads and witnessed an unforgettable sight: a group of airplanes flying in formation, a total of ten planes. Their engines roared, filling the sky with a deafening noise.
"What the heck is going on? Why are there suddenly so many planes in the sky?"
"Our location isn't on any plane route. I've never seen a plane here before."
"Could it be a military exercise? Even on civil aviation routes, only one plane flies at a time. Why are there ten?"
"Look, they are heading towards the mountains near Lincheng!"
Everyone was excited and curious, taking out their mobile phones to capture this once-in-a-lifetime event. Seeing ten planes flying together was a rare spectacle.
While they had seen planes before, seeing ten simultaneously was unprecedented. These planes flew toward the mountains near Lincheng, which was very close to Shanhe University.
At the same time, at Shanhe University, on the Qinglong Campus, Liu Datou was overseeing the construction of temporary teaching buildings for the first three mountains.
"Today, our task is to build the temporary teaching buildings for the first, second, and third mountains," Liu Datou announced to the workers while checking the construction plan and assigning tasks.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar filled the sky. Liu Datou instinctively looked up and saw the ten planes approaching rapidly. They were flying low and fast, and their trajectory was unsettling.
"No, no, their altitude is decreasing!" Liu Datou realized that something was amiss. The planes were not flying level or ascending; they were descending.
"Everyone, find a place to hide! The planes are going to crash!" Liu Datou shouted in panic, urging the workers to seek shelter. The sight of ten planes rapidly descending towards the Qinglong Campus filled them with terror.
The workers dropped their tools, scattered, and ran for their lives. Just when they thought they were about to meet their end, the planes abruptly landed on the runway of the Qinglong Campus. The landing gear made a loud noise as it collided with the ground.
Half an hour later, all ten planes came to a stop on the runway, having landed safely. Liu Datou, who had been nearby, stood there, utterly bewildered.
He couldn't comprehend what had just occurred. The runways he had constructed were initially believed to be for the school's playground. However, it became apparent that they were actually runways for planes to take off and land.
"Could it be... Mr. Qin bought all these planes?" Liu Datou muttered as he slowly grasped the situation. There were nine small airliners and one transport plane among the ten. The small airliners could each carry up to fifty passengers, and they were suitable for low-altitude flights, perfect for connecting the thirty mountains on the school campus.
Not long after, a piece of news about the "ten plane crash" spread like wildfire on the internet, capturing the attention of countless netizens.
The cause of the commotion was a video of ten planes flying low and disappearing into the mountains. The incident sparked a wave of comments and concerns online, with some calling for immediate action.
"Fire department, why are you just standing there? Hurry up and rescue them!"
"Ten plane crashes? Normally, aren't the routes for each plane predetermined? How could there be ten planes?"
"After a careful analysis, there must be more to this than meets the eye. It's not that simple!"
"Let's not jump to conclusions; let's wait for the official investigation results!"
The news of the ten planes quickly captured the attention of the entire internet community. The video clearly showed the planes heading straight for the rugged mountains and disappearing from view. Given the treacherous terrain, the outcome seemed grim.
Everyone understood that once a plane crashed, the chances of survival were slim to none. Even with prompt rescue efforts, the likelihood of survival was less than one in ten thousand.
