Chapter 676 - 434: He’s Practically Superman
Over the vast ocean.
A commercial airplane is speeding at a low altitude at a speed of 200 meters per second.
The massive fuselage and wings create a deafening whoosh as they slice through the air.
But if you look closely, you’ll notice,
this plane isn’t powered on.
Not even the turbine fans on either side are spinning.
Yet it glides smoothly in midair.
This counterintuitive and defiant-of-physics scene has amazingly appeared in reality.
At this moment, the crew and passengers inside the cabin, including the captain sitting in the cockpit, are somewhat puzzled.
In fact, most passengers still believe it was the captain’s extreme maneuvers that saved them during the plummet.
But only the informed captain and crew know that it’s not that simple.
The aircraft’s engines are completely off, and the turbine fans on either side aren’t spinning, which means they now have no thrust at all,
Typically, commercial airliner wings are designed with an upward curve, known as an "aerodynamic shape." As the plane moves forward, air flows over both the upper and lower surfaces of the wings. Due to the higher speed of airflow over the upper surface, the pressure is lower than below, creating lift that allows the plane to overcome gravity and ascend into the sky. Essentially, the plane needs to reach a certain speed to generate sufficient lift.
So the turbine fans on either wing are the primary source of power for the aircraft, which is why commercial airliners generally stabilize at about ten thousand meters altitude, as the pressure differential is more significant at higher altitudes, providing more lift and preventing the plane from falling mid-flight.
But now they have descended to an altitude of less than a thousand meters, and the engines have stopped running, yet the plane is still flying normally.
Upon receiving a message from the tower that they seem to be carried by a mysterious man, the captain is even more alarmed. After a brief hesitation, they decide to continue pretending to pilot the plane from the cockpit.
Providing passengers with a sense of security is the priority now. Informing passengers that the plane isn’t piloted by the captain but carried by a mysterious man would only create panic.
But even without telling them, some passengers have guessed the truth, as some aboard are highly educated and can easily deduce the reality of the situation based on what they’ve learned. When they noticed the roar of the engines had ceased, they began to suspect something unusual.
So, once the aircraft stabilized, some began quietly discussing what fuel is powering this aircraft. Their conversations inevitably reached nearby passengers, leaving a small portion of people in a state of panic.
However, despite the panic, they are heading towards land now, so no one causes any trouble. After experiencing the recent incident, every passenger’s main desire is to survive and land safely, regardless of who saved them.
Finally.
After more than ten minutes.
They could see the city’s outline through the windows on both sides, and at once the crew and passengers couldn’t help but cheer.
Upon reaching the city, Wang Ye, who was carrying the plane, found a suitable spot for landing and steadily descended, eventually placing the plane safely on a clearing.
This clearing wasn’t an airport tarmac but an open field in the wilderness,
Wang Ye knew that carrying a plane through the city and blatantly placing it on the tarmac would undoubtedly attract a lot of unwanted attention.
Landing in the wilderness would neither jeopardize the passengers’ safety nor cause him any trouble.
Once relieved of his burden, Wang Ye’s muscles released high-temperature carbon dioxide, squeezing out like dense fog through his pores.
His arm bones, severely deformed under the heavy weight, healed quickly in seconds.
He had to admit that carrying the plane in flight was indeed a significant challenge.
Yet it hadn’t pushed him to the extreme, knowing he had another card to play with the Law of Heaven and Earth.
Even if his body couldn’t bear the weight, he could still invoke the Law of Heaven and Earth to forcibly hold up the entire plane.
But maintaining sanity after invoking the Law of Heaven and Earth would be an issue.
After the plane stabilized, Wang Ye intended to leave.
But suddenly, he noticed several rescue helicopters rapidly approaching from a distance.
Additionally, one of the helicopters carried a familiar aura.
This aura belonged to Old Yi.
After a moment’s thought, Wang Ye returned to the ground.
Clearly, a plane accident wouldn’t involve Old Yi’s presence,
Now that Old Yi appeared in a rescue helicopter, it’s likely he specifically came to see him.
If he left immediately, it would seem disrespectful.
A moment later.
The rescue helicopters landed around the aircraft.
Numerous staff members jumped out, opened the airplane’s doors, and began rescuing the injured passengers from the accident.
Wang Ye stood quietly by the side, waiting for Old Yi,
The rescue staff, after seeing Wang Ye’s figure, exchanged puzzled and astonished glances.
Because, before arriving, they had reviewed the passenger list and Wang Ye’s name wasn’t on it.
