I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars surrounded the plane, which had finally come to a stop.

Rescue workers surged toward the hatch like a tidal wave.

Inside the cockpit, Luo Fei unbuckled his seatbelt.

He gently moved his shoulders.

He then got up and briefly checked on the two unconscious captains.

His breathing was weak but steady, and his pulse was still there, but his face was pale and there was blood on his forehead.

"The vital signs should be fine."

He muttered to himself, then opened the cockpit door.

The scene inside the cabin came into view.

a mess.

Many luggage racks popped open, scattering various items on the ground.

Many passengers slumped in their seats, sobbing quietly, or huddled together tightly, while others looked bewildered, their faces still bearing traces of fear.

However, overall order was maintained, and the flight attendants, despite being pale themselves, still managed to keep everyone calm.

My aunt and cousin sat in the front seats.

Luo Yumei hugged her daughter tightly, her arms trembling from the force, her lips pale, but her eyes kept glancing towards the cockpit, her face full of worry.

Zhao Lin buried her head in her mother's arms, her thin body shivering slightly.

"Auntie, Linlin."

Luo Fei walked quickly to their side, his voice calm and gentle.

Luo Yumei looked up abruptly and saw Luo Fei standing there unharmed; her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Xiaofei! Are you alright? Just now..." Her voice choked with sobs, and she spoke incoherently.

"I'm fine."

Luo Fei squatted down, gently patted his aunt's trembling hand, and then touched his cousin's hair.

"It's all over now. The plane has landed safely, and we'll be able to get off soon."

Zhao Lin looked up, her face pale, but when she saw her cousin, she still managed to force a smile.

"Brother, you're amazing!"

Luo Fei smiled at her but didn't say anything more.

By this time, rescue personnel had entered the cabin and began organizing the orderly evacuation of passengers.

The first to be carried off were the two unconscious captains, and several passengers who were injured in the violent turbulence—some were hit on the head or arms by bags falling from the overhead bins, and others were injured by decompression or turbulence because they were not wearing seat belts.

Luo Fei protected his aunt and cousin, and followed the flow of people slowly toward the open cabin door.

The scorching summer air was intense, a mixture of the tar smell from tires rubbing against the track and the odor of fire-fighting foam.

The moment Luo Yumei stepped onto the ground, her legs went weak and she almost fell over, but Luo Fei caught her steadily.

Zhao Lin also tightly gripped her cousin's clothes.

The surrounding area was a bustling rescue scene, with medical staff moving around busily, police setting up a cordon, and media who had rushed to the scene being kept far away, while telephoto lenses were constantly pointed at the plane that had made an emergency landing and the shaken passengers.

Luo Fei's gaze swept across the crowd and soon spotted Chen Tao among a group of people dressed in uniforms and casual clothes.

Chen Tao saw him immediately, whispered something to a middle-aged man beside him, and then they quickly walked over together.

"Luo Fei!"

Chen Tao spoke first, a look of relief on his face.

He reached out and shook hands firmly with Luo Fei.

Then, Chen Tao turned to the side to introduce himself.

"This is Mayor Zhou Jianhua of Longhai City."

Zhou Jianhua stepped forward, his face solemn. His gaze lingered on Luo Fei's face for a moment, filled with gratitude and inquiry.

He extended his hand, his voice steady: "Comrade Luo Fei, on behalf of the Longhai Municipal Party Committee and Government, and on behalf of everyone on this plane, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you!"

His hands were clenched tightly.

"Without your heroic efforts to turn the tide, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Luo Fei shook hands with him.

"Mayor Zhou, you flatter me. I simply did what anyone in that situation should have tried to do."

"It was mainly due to timely and accurate ground command and guidance, and a bit of luck."

He answered modestly, delegating the credit.

Zhou Jianhua gave him a deep look.

He nodded: "You're too modest. Your composure, courage, and skill have created a miracle."

"Regarding the detailed cause of this incident, the civil aviation, safety supervision and other departments will form a joint investigation team to thoroughly investigate the matter."

He paused, then his tone became more sincere: "Comrade Luo Fei, the city is preparing..."

"Mayor Zhou," Luo Fei interrupted at the right moment, his tone gentle. He turned slightly to gesture to his aunt and cousin, whose faces were still pale.

"Thank you for the city's kindness. However, my aunt and sister have just experienced a shock, and they need rest both physically and mentally."

"I want to take them home and settle them in first."

His gaze briefly met Chen Tao's.

Chen Tao immediately understood, stepped forward, and said to Zhou Jianhua, "Mayor, Comrade Luo Fei's family does need time to calm down. If there is any need for cooperation later, or if the city wants to express its gratitude, it can be coordinated and arranged through us."

Zhou Jianhua, being a man of great stature, immediately understood the meaning behind it.

The young man in front of us is probably no ordinary person, and we need to consider how to handle him.

He immediately stopped insisting and showed an understanding look on his face: "Of course! Family is the most important thing. Please make sure you get plenty of rest. If you need anything, please contact Director Chen or me directly."

He shook hands with Luo Fei again, and nodded gently to Luo Yumei and Zhao Lin before turning around with other relevant department leaders to continue directing the aftermath work.

Chen Tao accompanied Luo Fei and the other two to the airport parking lot.

"Both captains and the injured passenger have been taken to the hospital, where they will receive the best possible examination and treatment."

Chen Tao spoke as he walked.

"The aircraft's black box has been sealed, and the investigation will begin soon. In terms of public opinion, the official narrative will be consistent, emphasizing the crew and ground rescue efforts. Your role as an 'assistant passenger' will be mentioned, but specific details will be kept vague."

Luo Fei nodded: "Thank you for your help, Director Chen."

"It's my duty." Chen Tao waved his hand, then lowered his voice. "Also, regarding your previous 'formula' and pill, the higher-ups are paying close attention, and progress is extremely rapid. Good news has also come from Academician Sun. There might be higher-level leaders who want to meet with you soon."

Luo Fei's expression remained unchanged: "I understand. I'm ready anytime once things are settled at home."

As we spoke, we arrived at the parking lot.

The D9 was parked there quietly, covered in dust.

Luo Fei opened the car door and let his aunt and cousin get into the back seat first.

Chen Tao stood beside the car and said one last thing: "Drive carefully. Call me anytime if you need anything."

"it is good."

Luo Fei got into the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, called his mother, told her he had gotten off the plane and was driving home, hung up, and started the car.

D9 slowly drove away from the noisy and chaotic airport.

The car was quiet, with only the air conditioning blowing out a slight cool breeze.

Luo Yumei leaned back in her chair, her eyes closed, but her eyelids were still trembling slightly.

Zhao Lin turned her head to look at the scenery rushing past outside the window.

Luo Fei glanced at them in the rearview mirror and broke the silence.

"Auntie, Linlin, were you terrified?"

His voice sounded exceptionally gentle in the quiet carriage.

Luo Yumei opened her eyes and let out a long sigh, a sigh filled with indescribable complex emotions.

"It wasn't just terrified, Xiaofei, I really thought..."

She couldn't continue, shook her head, and turned to watch Luo Fei drive away.

"If it weren't for you, Xiaofei, when did you learn to fly a plane? And you're so good at it..."

She couldn't find the right words to describe it.

"I had some experience with simulators for my previous job, so I only had a basic understanding of them."

Luo Fei explained using an excuse he had already prepared.

"The main reason was that the situation forced us there, so we had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. Luckily, we guessed right."

He smiled at his aunt through the rearview mirror.

"You child..." Luo Yumei knew her nephew wasn't telling the truth.

But she didn't ask any further questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, especially after going through so much.

She simply reached out and gently patted Luo Fei's shoulder.

"No matter what, it's good that everyone is safe. You're okay, Linlin is okay, everyone is safe, that's more important than anything else."

Zhao Lin turned her head and whispered, "Brother, thank you."

Her eyes sparkled with new life.

Luo Fei felt a warmth in his heart.

"Silly girl, why are you being so polite with your brother?"

He changed the subject, "Go home and get a good night's sleep. My mom has definitely prepared a delicious meal for us."

When Luo Yumei and Zhao Lin mentioned their home and Luo Fei's parents, a sense of relaxation and anticipation finally appeared on their faces.

The atmosphere inside the carriage gradually eased.

Luo Yumei started rambling about recent events, with Zhao Lin occasionally chiming in.

Luo Fei listened while driving, occasionally responding with a word or two.

The summer sun was blazing, but it became much gentler through the car window.

The D9's excellent stability also gradually made the two people in the back seat, who had been frightened, feel sleepy.

As Luo Yumei spoke, her voice lowered, and she eventually fell asleep against her headrest.

Zhao Lin curled up beside her mother, closed her eyes, and her breathing became even.

Luo Fei turned down the air conditioner's fan speed and turned off the music.

"strength……"

He muttered to himself silently.

"It's to protect moments like these."

The car exited the highway and turned onto the county road, where familiar scenery came into view.

Yesterday, Luo Fei told his mother that he was going home today because the old house was being demolished and rebuilt, so he asked his parents to come to the villa and prepare two rooms for his aunt and cousin to live in.

D9 slowly came to a stop in front of the villa.

At this moment, my aunt and cousin also woke up because the car had stopped. Looking at the magnificent villa in front of them through the car window, they were clearly stunned.

Aunt turned to look at Luo Fei in the driver's seat, her eyes filled with astonishment and questioning.

"Xiaofei, aren't we going home? Where are we?"

Her voice was filled with doubt.
