Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

"Not yet."

"Oh, that's great news," said Sam disappointedly. "So we're going to fall eventually, aren't we?"

"But not now." Brian unbuckled his seat belt and said, "We still have time to find a solution. That's the good news. I'll go talk to the captain about where to fly."

No one screamed hysterically, which was probably the most fortunate thing. However, everyone was still very concerned about their own lives.

Old Bernie and the others unbuckled their seatbelts and followed Brian to the cockpit door. Perhaps they couldn't fit into the cockpit, but at least they could peek through the door and see what the people inside were doing.

Henry came to Audrey Hepburn's side and looked at her calm expression. "Boss, are you okay?"

Seeing that everyone had unbuckled their seat belts and was running around, even though the seat belt sign was still on, Audrey Hepburn still changed her seat to the window side so that Henry could sit next to her.

She said calmly, "Son, I'm fine. I just thought I'd been through enough in my life that nothing new would happen. But the possibility of a plane falling is a first."

Having experienced war and filmed movies, it can be said that Audrey Hepburn has personally experienced the worst and most dreamy things in the world.

Not to mention that there are all kinds of strange mutants in this world, some of whom can fly, move mountains and seas, and some of whom have appearances that are different from humans. They have trained ordinary people's hearts to an extremely strong level.

Ordinary "surprises" can't shake them at all, just like Ms. Hepburn today.

But a plane crash... I really didn't want to experience this novelty. This was Audrey Hepburn's only thought. Calm and without any waves.

"It's possible that when those black guys were strafing the plane with their machine guns, they hit the wing of the plane and pierced the fuel tank. At least we didn't explode into a fireball on the spot. That's a good thing, isn't it?" The veteran Italian captain calmly explained the possible situation.

Day 5, to celebrate the release, there will be an additional update at 9pm.

Chapter 109 Flight Dilemma

What to say.

When disaster strikes, the people he's with are incredibly calm. This should be a good thing, but Henry finds it strangely chaotic.

Well, not entirely. At least the flight attendant sitting in her seat was nervously hugging herself and trembling. She couldn't face the whole thing calmly like everyone else.

But it was a good thing she didn't scream like a little girl, using a high-pitched voice to make everyone more nervous.

Henry looked at her. Perhaps noticing the gaze of an outsider, the flight attendant suppressed her fear and gave a forced smile. It was heartbreaking to watch.

Because the cockpit was open, everyone could still hear the captain calmly reporting his situation to air traffic control. The most reassuring thing was that the highest-level distress call—Mayday—hadn't been heard yet.

Not long after, the colorful spray outside the window disappeared, and then the vibration sound of the plane's engine became significantly smaller, but did not disappear completely.

Brian walked out of the cockpit, took a map, and spread it out on the aisle. His three companions followed behind him, craning their necks to look.

Brian first told Ms. Hepburn, "The good news is that the captain immediately closed the balance valves on the left and right wing fuel tanks upon discovering the oil leak. Although we can't adjust the fuel lines in mid-air, at least we have one engine operational."

"Where there's good news there's bad news, right?" Old Bernie answered the question perfectly.

"That's right," Brian said. "We weren't able to refuel at the previous airport. Plus, we lost more than half our fuel, which meant we couldn't fly very far before having to land.

"It's definitely impossible to fly back to the United States in one go. Even flying to Europe is difficult. Considering that we will be flying at night, we must find an airport with night landing guidance equipment, preferably an allied airport.

"Although the US military base in Djibouti has a runway for aircraft takeoff and landing, it has no night lighting. So our only option is to fly north to the US military base in Saudi Arabia. The equipment there is much better than in Djibouti."

Sam said, "Hey, man, it sounds like we're saved. But your expression doesn't say anything like that."

"The main problem is this country." Brian pointed to an area on the map marked as the Republic of Yemen.

Mark said, "As I recall, North and South Yemen were unified just a month ago. They're friendly toward Western regimes, so they're still in the honeymoon phase. Will they cause us any trouble?"

Brian, still speaking in his deep, magnetic voice, delivered the bad news. "The Republic of Yemen has only been established for less than a month. While it's friendly toward the West, it's only friendlier than it's been in the past."

"In fact, I doubt whether their government functions are fully functional. Although we issued the emergency code 7700, air traffic control was helping us contact the Yemeni side.

"But as long as they don't agree to let us enter their airspace, we'll have to go through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea before we can enter Saudi Arabia. This extra detour will put a major strain on our remaining fuel."

"So what can we do?" asked Audrey Hepburn.

In response to the star's question, Brian could only helplessly answer, "Ma'am, we can only wait and see for the final results. We can't help with anything that will happen next."

Old Bernie said hopefully, "There's still something we can do, isn't there?"

"Old man, what is it?" Mark asked hurriedly.

"Pray, kid. Pray that ATC can get Yemen to agree, and pray that we land somewhere before our fuel runs out."

Old Bernie's answer made several veterans cross themselves, say "Amen," and finally say "Madfake!" Their movements were so smooth that it seemed they had done this many times.

Henry, who has no faith, doesn't know who to pray to. In fact, with his Kryptonian ability to fly, this is a small matter.

But the famous star sitting next to her didn't think so. Although Audrey Hepburn knew that Henry was indestructible, she didn't know that he could fly!

So at this moment, although Ms. Hepburn's expression and voice were still so elegant and calm, she held Henry's hand tightly and turned to look out the window at the gradually darkening sky, which showed that she was not completely calm.

Brian herded everyone back to their seats, preventing them from running around. He was now thankful that he had used up all the bullets he had brought on the plane, otherwise who knows who would have gone crazy with a gun.

But he did wake someone up. Brian walked up to the female flight attendant and said, "Ma'am, I'd like you to give us all a whiskey. I think this is what you need.

"As for the captain, he still needs to stay awake to fly the plane, so I don't think he'll need it. Isn't that right?"

"Okay... OK. I'll be right there." As a well-trained charter flight attendant, she suppressed her emotions, put on a welcoming smile, unbuckled her seat belt, stood up and said with a smile.

Brian returned to his seat and let out a long, gentle sigh, a feeling of helplessness filling his chest. Even as a professionally trained soldier, there were some things he couldn't do. Sometimes he even wondered, after all he had done, who was he actually helping?

The atmosphere on the plane was so depressing that even the flight attendant's smile seemed forced when she offered him whiskey. Henry tried to break the deadlock and asked, "Brian, do you have a family?"

Brian glanced at the questioner, unable to discern anything, and could only conclude that he was simply making small talk. Even Audrey Hepburn seemed intrigued by such a question, her eyes sparkling.

But now he really needed to talk and divert his emotions. So he replied, "I have a wife, Reina, who is pregnant. The baby will be born soon."

As he spoke, Brian took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it over.

Henry took the photo, which showed a couple in love, cheek to cheek, their smiles as bright as the sun. "Wow, what a beautiful woman!" he said, sharing it with the curious celebrity next to him.

Audrey flashed a smile that was just as sweet as the one in the photo, almost changing the atmosphere on the plane. She said, "Yes, I can tell you two love each other."

Day 5, to celebrate the launch, there will be an additional update at 9pm

Chapter 110: Loss of Power

"Have you thought of a name for the baby?" Audrey asked again.

Brian replied, "If it's a boy, call him William. If it's a girl, call her Jean."

"Hmm, what a beautiful name." He returned the photo to Brian.

The man who took it looked at his wife in the photo and smiled sweetly. But he asked in return, "What about you, kid?"

Henry raised his hands in surrender and said, "I'm looking for a girlfriend." He then turned to the other three and asked, "What about you, tough guys?"

Sam clinked his glasses with Mark, raised them high and said, "Happy single life!"

Old Bernie raised his glass and said, "Divorced! What a blessing! I just need to transfer the alimony to her account on time every month, and I won't have to see her face.

"Boy, I'm warning you, don't get married. It will make you feel like you're dead and living in hell. I didn't feel that painful even when I was shot and hospitalized."

Audrey Hepburn certainly couldn't stand such remarks. She slapped Henry's shoulder fiercely and said, "Don't believe him, child. You should know that the most beautiful things in the world are to snuggle with your lover and watch your children grow up.

"If you don't get married and have children, you won't be able to experience these wonderful things, and your life will be incomplete. It would be a waste of God creating man and woman."

In short, Henry listened to Audrey's mother's words in his right ear, and listened to the four soldiers' quarrels over the issue of marriage in his left ear. Fortunately, the guns left in the aisle were all empty, otherwise these people would have picked them up and started fighting.

Suddenly, the plane made a sharp banked turn, interrupting the lively atmosphere. Brian said thoughtfully, "This is turning towards the Gulf of Aden." Then he stood up and went to the cockpit to ask the captain.

When Brian returned, he shared the answer with everyone. "We're now going through the Gulf of Aden and into the Red Sea. We'll then turn south into Saudi Arabia. A US military base is already urgently installing runway guidance lights for us."

"Can we fly there?" Old Bernie, the oldest of the four, was the one responsible for expressing different opinions or ideas. At this time, he faithfully performed his duties and questioned Brian.

"Of course." Brian said, then nodded again, "Of course!"

Henry didn't even bother trying to liven things up. The cabin had completely transformed into a mournful atmosphere. The fact that the group didn't lose control, yell, or accuse anyone was a sign of civility and self-control.

Audrey Hepburn once again clutched Henry's hand. She certainly couldn't have hurt the Kryptonian, but this time the tension was undoubtedly greater.

Henry responded to this sentiment by placing his other hand on top, patting it gently and saying, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Audrey gave a forced smile and said nothing more.

Henry guessed that she might just have thought that even though this child had an invulnerable body of steel, it was useless at a time like this.

I should avoid revealing my flying ability if possible. There's no point in revealing it early; the plane isn't doomed, it just seems a little difficult right now.

So most people still put their hopes on the experienced captain.

Just as the plane made its second big banked turn, everyone thought that it was about to enter Saudi Arabia's airspace.

This time, the turn didn't take long, and it swung straight quickly. Then the remaining engine noise stopped, and the normal lighting in the cabin went out, leaving only the emergency lighting providing a dim light.

In fact, modern passenger aircraft are equipped with ram air turbines, which automatically eject from the fuselage in the event of engine failure. They use the air flowing through them to generate electricity and keep essential equipment on board running normally.

At this time, Brian said again, "Don't worry, it's just that both engines have failed. As long as we don't overload, we won't fall to the ground immediately.

"Based on the experience of Air Canada Flight 143 in 83, we can maintain the aircraft's flight posture in the air like a glider. It will just reach the airport before descending to touch down."

After that, Brian stood up again and said, "I'm going to talk to the captain."

The veterans didn't say anything, and Audrey just held Henry's hand.

The Kryptonians also noticed that the flight attendant girl had already drunk all the remaining alcoholic beverages and got herself drunk to death.

Now she was strapped into the seat with her head hanging to the side. It looked extremely unprofessional, but no one would blame her.

Henry also heard the captain muttering about understeering, too fast a descent rate, and other issues. He was extremely pessimistic about whether he could reach the US military base.

The other three soldiers, who had been bored for a long time, seemed to be on the verge of exploding. If they heard any bad news, they would be afraid of a man-made disaster.

Henry couldn't help but think back to the entire incident. Had there been any earlier intervention, things could have been handled more securely? Without so much publicity, could the group have returned safely?

In order not to expose himself, he allowed those guys to chase him and shoot him.

Although they managed to shake off the enemy and prevent them from stopping the plane from taking off, who could have known that the final, angry strafing would result in the machine gun bullets hitting the plane's fuel tank, causing most of the fuel to leak out.

This really proves the saying that after nine steps of building a mountain, one may fail at the last moment.

Now Henry fully experienced the feeling of pretending to be cool and becoming an idiot.

Patting Ms. Hepburn who was holding him tightly, Henry unbuckled his seat belt, stood up, and said, "Everyone, please listen to me."

Aside from the drunken stewardess, everyone else looked toward Henry in the dim light. Even Brian emerged from the cockpit to look at the person who had spoken.

Henry said, "I have a secret that I hope everyone can keep. It's related to what I'm going to do next."

Sam, the most impatient, jumped up and shouted, "We're all going to die. What difference does it make whether we keep it a secret or not?"

"Don't be angry, tough guy. I asked you to keep it secret because it's so that everyone can survive. You don't think I'm taking this opportunity to treat you like a priest and tell you my secret, do you?"

"Henry, we will know how to keep our mouths shut when it comes to secrets that need to be kept. Just tell us." Brian, who was the most attentive, understood the assistant's hint and promised.

Henry said with a confident smile, "There's no need to explain it, you'll see it naturally. Now follow my instructions, everyone sit back in your seats and fasten yourselves firmly with your seat belts.

"The cabin will lose pressure soon, and you have to prevent yourself from being sucked out. And Brian, I need your help. But first you have to find a rope to tie yourself up."

Chapter 111: Super Power Appears

"What are you going to do?" Brian asked, but he didn't slow down and took out a bundle of parachute rope from his emergency backpack.

Henry didn't answer him immediately, as he had already run to the cockpit door and said to the Italian captain inside, "The cabin depressurization will only be temporary. Control the plane. Everything will be fine, right?"

After saying that, he closed the cockpit door to prevent the cabin depressurization from affecting the captain.

Henry finally had time to answer Brian. He said, "I'm going to open the door and get out of the plane. So Brian, I need your help to lock the door from the inside."

"Because you can't sit in your seat and have to stand in front of the cabin door, you have to tie yourself up with a rope. And you have to tie it tightly, otherwise you will fly out with me."

Unlike large passenger aircraft, the cabin door of this small passenger plane only has a switch handle on the outside. To close and maintain airtightness, it can only be operated from the inside.

Mark looked around and asked, "You want to parachute out by yourself?"

"Hey, man, does it look like I have a parachute on my back? I'm supposed to be holding up the plane from below to ensure a safe landing."

While Henry was explaining, he also walked to the seat of the drunk female flight attendant, helped her fasten her seat belt, and made sure her body was secure.

Of course, everyone who heard the explanation looked incredulous. Mark even said, "How could such a thing be possible?"

Henry spread his hands and said, "I told you what I'm going to do. Believe it or not. I don't have the time to prove anything. Just tell me, are you willing to cooperate?"

"Mark, sit down and fasten your seat belt." Brian stopped his comrade's questions and tied one end of the rope to the chair closest to the cabin door, and the other end was of course to his own body.

In fact, as in the movies, the situation where a hole appears in a flying plane and things are continuously sucked out is purely a manufactured effect.
