Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Let me try." Su Ruoli put his fingertips together and touched the metal fragments. Suddenly, blue crystals bloomed and filled the gaps and cracks with crystals.

This was not a big expense for her, but it was her first time doing this kind of paperhanging, and the object was a medium-sized aircraft.

"This should hold up for a while, but I'm not sure how long."

Bai Yu nodded: "You should also repair the other cracks. It's best if it can hold up until it lands."

The other calm Penglai students also stood up, and it was not the time to follow the crew rules.

Nangong Bin pushed his glasses: "What's the situation now?"

Bai Yu replied briefly, "The engine exploded for unknown reasons, and then metal fragments pierced the cabin. If the leak isn't plugged, the air pressure will likely tear the fuselage apart in just a few minutes. Even if it is plugged, we don't know how long it will last."

He looked ahead and said to Xing Yaoyao, "Please tell the two instructors to reveal their identities and contact the captain of this plane."

Then he turned to Xue Qilin and said, "Senior Xue and the people from the Imperial Spirit Society, go and comfort the other passengers. We can't cause chaos at this time."

The two nodded and left.

Nangong Ling's pretty face turned pale as she asked, "It's not really going to crash, is it?"

Bai Yu shook his head and said, "I hope not. What do you think?"

Qin Xuezao said calmly, "Considering that the worst-case scenario is falling, even if we're all transcendents, the probability of dying from a fall from this height is over 60-70%. If we can find a cushion instead of hitting the ground directly, we have a good chance of survival."

Falling from a high altitude will not continue to accelerate. Due to the existence of air resistance, it can be decelerated... In history, there was a strange man who fell from the sky and only broke one leg.

"It would be nice to have a parachute..." Nangong Ling said with a sad face, "But where can I get a parachute here?"

"The people from the Imperial Spirit Society should have flying spirit beasts. I wonder if they brought them with them."

"Perhaps I could use the reaction force to slow down by blasting the ground with martial arts before landing?"

"We can consider fastening the suitcases together to form a platform larger than your own weight, and then use your body to jump before landing, or use this as a buffer platform."

"Let's ask the instructors. They are all at the fourth level of the extraordinary master realm. There should be a way."

Mu Yaoxi looked at this group of depressed classmates.

She couldn't help but frown. This group of people had been discussing their opinions for a long time, why did they all have the same idea?

With a bit of displeasure, Mu Yaoxi asked: "What about Bai Yu? What do you think?"

Bai Yu raised his eyes, looked around at the students around him, and said, "Perhaps in addition to protecting ourselves, we should also consider how to save other ordinary people."

Chapter 450 Savior Plot

Bai Yu had just obtained the Phoenix Body, had Phoenix Wings, a new mount, and the projection of the heroic spirit, so he could not die no matter how he fell.

The question is not whether you will die from the fall, but how to help others survive as much as possible.

Because of the different perspectives, Bai Yu did not consider his classmates and ordinary people separately.

In his opinion, it is the same.

But after Bai Yu said this, the surroundings became a little quieter.

The few people who had raised their opinions before subconsciously shut up.

They felt the difference in the pattern.

That's why Mu Yaoxi interrupted them. As the daughter of a military family, the first thing she thought of was not to protect herself, but the safety of people's lives and property.

The reason why she asked Bai Yu questions alone was to use him to tell the group of Penglai students.

The ordinary people here are the most dangerous group of people. They should consider how to protect this group of people instead of just thinking about protecting themselves.

Even just thinking about it is good.

"Shame on you." Nangong Bin whispered.

"Facing a life or death decision will inevitably be stressful, there is no need to blame yourself." Bai Yu said this.

Up ahead, Xing Yaoyao walked back quickly. She said, "The captain has communicated with the airport. The runway is being cleared as quickly as possible, and they will also land as quickly as possible, but the process may still take thirty minutes."

...It is unknown how long the gap filled by Ruoli can last. Even if we descend at the fastest speed, it may take thirty minutes to prepare.

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "But we always need to consider the worst-case scenario. The worst-case scenario is nothing more than the plane disintegrating during flight. No one has ever experienced this, so let me just briefly explain. If the plane disintegrates, the internal and external pressures will be unbalanced, and a huge amount of cold air will rush into the cabin. Someone will definitely suffocate temporarily or even fall into a coma. Even a transcendental being could suffer from hypoxia."

"This is just the result of the broken side of the plane. If the situation continues to deteriorate and the crack spreads to other parts of the plane, it will further spread and even break directly. At that time, there will be no chance of an emergency landing."

He glanced at the others' livid faces and added, "This is the worst-case scenario."

Mu Yaoxi maintained a calmness that was completely different from the others: "Just tell me your proposal."

Bai Yu nodded: "What I mean is... while lowering the altitude, it's best to take a group of people away first."

"Take a group of people first?"

Others didn't quite understand.

"Both instructors are at the fourth level of Transcendent Strength. Even without parachutes, they should be able to land safely. With their strength, they should be able to bring a few people down safely." Bai Yu looked across the crowd and said, "I think what I said is correct, Instructor Lu."

Lu Danxin walked over with a rage. It seemed that the conclusion he reached after communicating with the captain was not good. As soon as he walked over here and heard what Bai Yu said, he clenched his fists.

Huangfu Dou was a serious instructor, a middle-aged man over fifty years old. He said in a deep voice, "The safety of the students is naturally our responsibility. You don't need to worry about it."

"I'm not worried about the students, but about these ordinary people." Bai Yu didn't bother beating around the bush and asked directly, "Or do you two instructors have any way to ensure the safety of both the students and the ordinary people?"

Huangfu Dou frowned, he had no idea what to say.

To be fair, how can the lives of nearly a hundred ordinary people here be compared with the importance of the Penglai students? The social value and contribution they create are not on the same level, and there are differences in closeness. As a Penglai mentor, I will definitely give priority to protecting students. This is human nature.

But there are some things that cannot be said in person, nor can they be said openly and confidently.

"If we want to save the most people, we have to consider a forced landing, but forced landings also carry risks... If the plane remains intact, it's fine. But if it starts to disintegrate, we have to consider the worst-case scenario." Bai Yu raised a finger. "Even if we can only save one more person, it's still meaningful."

Lu Danxin walked up and held Bai Yu's head. "Stop talking nonsense, brat. Are you capable of taking responsibility or something? You think I'm some big shot. Of course, we'll save as many people as possible in a plane crash like this, but that's only as many as possible, not... all of them. Do you understand?"

She was really worried that Bai Yu had a problem with his thinking.

Bai Yu broke free from Lu Danxin's hand and asked directly, "How many people can the two instructors bring to a safe landing?"

Lu Danxin glared: "You..."

Huangfu Dou stood with his hands behind his back and calmly replied, "Forty people... I can't take care of more than that."

"The plane is moving very fast. If the time difference in jumping is too big, ordinary people don't have skydiving experience."

"If we're not careful, the distance could be several kilometers, and it would be too late to rescue people."

"Even if we run faster, we can't catch up with the flight."

Bai Yu understood and did a simple calculation: "Including the crew members, there are probably about sixty people left?"

Huangfu Dou continued, "If you want to stay and fight, I won't stop you, but I have to take all the students from Yuling Academy with me."

Xue Qilin immediately said, "No! If Bai Yujing dares to stay, why shouldn't we dare?"

Huangfu Dou glanced at the student who was contradicting him and cursed, "Just because he can't die even if he jumps down, and because none of you can compare to him! He has the capital to act recklessly, but you are acting recklessly, are you just waiting to die?"

Xue Qilin's pride was aroused at this moment. He did not want to be a deserter. "I have a flying spirit beast. I want to stay. Please allow me, instructor!"

Several other members of the Yuling Society also said that they had ways to protect themselves and asked to stay.

"Why not let's vote by raising our hands?" Xing Yaoyao said, "Whoever wants to stay, raise your hand."

Swish swish--!

More than a dozen hands went up.

Nangong Bin held Nangong Ling's arm and scolded her, "Don't make trouble! Do you want to stay and cause trouble? We are alchemists, how can we protect ourselves?"

Nangong Ling lowered her head in frustration.

Bai Yu looked at Qin Xuezao and Ruan Qingxue and said, "Put your hands down too."

Qin Xuezao said, "I can fly the sword."

"Flying a sword and flying with a sword are two different things. You can only do it after you reach the peak of the second level or the third level." Under Bai Yu's persistent gaze, Qin Xuezhao lowered his hands.

But Ruan Qingxue was not so easily persuaded. She said directly: "Leave me here. I can be useful. A plane crash is accompanied by a fire, and I can put out the fire as quickly as possible."

Bai Yu was still hesitating.

Mu Yaoxi said: "I'll help you look after her... and of course I won't leave."

"Okay." Bai Yu then looked at Xing Yaoyao: "Senior, are you sure too?"

Xing Yaoyao smiled confidently and beautifully: "You may have forgotten that I am ranked second in strength in the Chuanwu Society. I am a peak-level third-order physical cultivator. Do you think it is possible that I would die from falling from this height?"

When it was the next person's turn, Xue Qilin and Bai Yu looked at each other and said, "I will stay. I have ways to protect myself. Even if I really crash, I won't die."

Bai Yu nodded and read out the names: "Su Ruoli, Mu Yaoxi, Ruan Qingxue, Xing Yaoyao, Xue Qilin... Just these few people will stay. The six of us will try to force the plane to land. Otherwise, we will try to get as many people as possible out of the plane alive."

It seems like a fantasy that only six people can make an airplane make an emergency landing. If something really happens, are six people really enough?

Most people don't have any hope, but as Bai Yu said, even if they can't make a successful emergency landing, as long as the plane is close enough to the ground, they still have a chance to save a few more people.

At this time, Lu Danxin sighed: "If you have a way to protect yourselves, I won't stop you. After all... your strength is obvious to all."

"But maybe the situation isn't that bad. Didn't Su Ruoli stabilize the leaks and cracks? The air pressure isn't out of balance. Maybe we can land safely. We have to trust the captain's skills."

At this moment, the words just fell.

boom--!

Another dull roar made everyone's heart tremble suddenly.

Looking outside, it was not the engine that exploded, and the previous plane's engine did not seem to have any signs of a secondary explosion.

But the sound of the explosion was so clear that it was unclear where it came from.

Bai Yu opened the Phoenix Eye and locked his gaze on a place where high temperature gathered.

Su Ruoli, who was concentrating, suddenly opened her eyes and said, "The explosion came from the outer bulkhead. Be careful, the crack is--!"

Due to the impact of the unknown explosion, a gap was opened in the outer wall of the cabin, and the vibration caused the original crack to expand again.

The clear crack was immediately enlarged and torn apart. The originally stable cabin began to shake. The violent vibration made everyone in the cabin feel that the iron bird under their buttocks began to tremble and scream.

The last words they heard were Bai Yu's.

"——Stand firm and prepare for impact!"

As the voice fell, the plane jolted violently, like a car driving on the road at high speed running over a speed bump, or like a fishing boat on the sea passing through a big wave, the front of the boat rose high and the back fell heavily, but the jolting was repeated continuously. In the violent shaking, the door of the luggage rack opened, and suitcases kept falling down. The seats began to tremble, the protective measures above were activated, and oxygen masks fell down.

The crowd had realized what was happening, but their awareness was not as fast as reality.

Crack! With a piercing metallic sound, the crack widened, and then a large piece of the entire cabin shell was missing, as if a shark had taken a big bite in the side of the abdomen.

A series of suitcases and various sundries flew out of the 'wound', and several people were directly thrown into the air, and they only managed to avoid falling out because of the safety belts tied to their bodies.

Things are changing and getting worse very quickly.

There is not even time to explain or clarify.

Bai Yu stood in the fierce wind, raised his hand and grabbed a person who was almost blown away, and looked down to see that it was Zhuge Fei. This careless woman was still sleeping!

He threw Zhuge Fei back onto the seat and fastened it back on, then raised his head and met Lu Danxin's gaze.

"Forty people." Bai Yu spoke, his voice drowned out by the violent air waves, leaving only his lips moving.

Lu Danxin closed his eyes, gritted his teeth silently, and then showed the courage of a master.

Turning around, a scroll unfolded behind her, the picture filled with a bottomless red.

After opening the realm, she used her profound cultivation to transform into a streak of light that surrounded everyone, swept up several nearby Penglai students, plus more than a dozen ordinary people who were still crying, turned around and jumped down towards the gap.

At this time, the plane had begun to descend in altitude and was not yet at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

After Lu Danxin left, it was Huangfu Dou's turn.

He opened his pocket and threw it into the sky. A huge jade fish flew into the air.

Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Dou kicked more than 20 people off the plane, and they were caught by the big fish.

In fact, the forty people Huangfu Dou said he took away was an understatement. The actual number of people he took away was close to fifty.

But this is already the limit.

Whether it was Lu Danxin or Huangfu Dou, if they went down, they would not be able to get back up. No matter how fast they ran, they could not catch up with the plane. Those who were left behind could either try their best to protect themselves or hope for the best.

Just as Huangfu Dou left, a middle-aged man in white clothes appeared in the front row.

Bai Yu walked over and grabbed the other person: "Aren't you the captain? What are you doing here?"
