Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 412 - 196: Into Hell (Part 1)_3

Turned his head.

Some passengers were holding their heads and crying, some were laughing loudly, and others were either paralyzed with fear or too excited, simply collapsed on the ground.

"Everyone follow me, head northwest, don’t run around, wait for the captain’s instructions!"

Betty shouted, urging the stationary passengers.

The well-dressed elite man couldn’t help but say.

"But my things are still up there!"

"When can we leave here?"

"Damn this plane, I’ll never fly with you Panama Airlines again!"

"Boohoo, why is there no signal on my phone, I want to call my parents!"

"My phone has no signal either."

...

Faced with the crew’s urging, the passengers, who just experienced a disaster, were now most eager to leave and were not listening to Betty’s commands at all.

Gu Ji walked to the front of the crowd and shouted.

"Everyone, don’t stay here, it’s very dangerous, the plane just made an emergency landing, both the cabin and the internal components are extremely hot, and an explosion could happen at any moment. According to the evacuation procedures, we need to head upwind at least 400 meters away."

"What? The plane’s going to explode?"

"Quick, run, run..."

As soon as people heard the plane might really explode, they didn’t need any more instructions and spontaneously fled to the edge of the northwest forest.

Betty walked over to Bolton, called out twice, and only received a response on the third call.

"Mr. Bolton, what should we tell the passengers now?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"What to say..."

Bolton repeated quietly, temporarily suppressing his disappointment, and turned to face the passengers, "Hello everyone, I am Bolton, the co-pilot of flight AM649. First, I want to apologize for everything we just went through and thank you for cooperating with us. Here’s the situation:"

"Our plane has encountered a dual engine failure, most of the avionics system is damaged, radio, communication, and radar are all unusable, and before the terrorists hijacked the plane, we had already lost contact with the ground..."

Hearing the last sentence, the passengers immediately reacted with panic, especially the young people, who were the loudest.

"What!? We’ve been out of contact with the ground since then?"

"Doesn’t that mean no one knows we’ve crashed here?"

"The phones have no signal either; we’re stuck, no one will come to save us, the terrorists will kill us, they will kill us!"

"Fuck! Where’s the captain? We want to see the captain! You, the co-pilot, have no right to command us!"

"Please calm down and listen to me..."

The passengers kept chattering and arguing while Bolton tried to calm their emotions, but it was to no avail.

"The captain is already dead."

Just as the scene was about to descend into chaos, Gu Ji suddenly spoke up, "Now the highest authority on the plane is the co-pilot!"

It was unclear whether the shock of the news or his muscular build was intimidating, but the crowd’s voices of protest suddenly quieted down.

"The, the captain is dead?"

"Who are you?"

"Uncle?! Uncle, it’s me!"

In the crowd, a woman kept waving her arms, none other than the freckled girl, Chloe, who slapped her companion’s head, "Quiet down, listen to what Uncle has to say!"

"Let me introduce Mr. Yassen, who, when the captain unfortunately perished and the plane went out of control, bravely rushed into the cabin to help me complete the emergency landing. He also resolved the threat in the cabin, thwarting the terrorists’ hijacking."

Seeing that everyone was unfamiliar with Gu Ji, Bolton took the initiative to introduce.

Hearing that the terrorist threat was resolved, everyone’s tense hearts finally relaxed; this counted as the first piece of good news so far.

"What do we do now?"

"Later, when the plane cools down, I will arrange for everyone to return to the plane to retrieve luggage and supplies, gather water and food together, and then I will re-check the plane’s avionics system to see if communication can be restored."

Faced with passenger questions, Bolton’s mind quickly ran through the emergency plans from flight training.

"What if we can’t fix it?"

"Yeah, are we just going to wait here to die?"

"Who knows where exactly we are?"

At the mention of their location, Bolton turned to look at Gu Ji.

Gu Ji’s eyes swept over the crowd, squinting slightly imperceptibly.

"We’re currently on a plateau in central-western Mexico. Modern aviation safety is very robust; even if we lose contact midway, the ground area control center will use the last data to infer the route, dispatch helicopters and satellite reconnaissance to locate us immediately."

"If Bolton can’t fix the communication system, there’s no need to worry. My strong suit is outdoor adventure; I will be responsible for finding a place with a mobile signal or people to help. Even in the worst-case scenario, if I run into no one, the nearest city is about 120 kilometers away; we only need to stay here for 3 days!"

"Isn’t three days too long..."

"That’s the worst-case scenario, and it’s not us going into the wilderness. We have food and drink on the plane; it should be fine, right?"

"I don’t know how much food is left on the plane; I’m a bit thirsty!"

...

Gu Ji’s words were somewhat persuasive, at least they let everyone see that the worst outcome wasn’t all that bad.

Bolton frowned slightly and pulled him aside, asking softly:

"Mr. Yassen, with your ability, you could determine our location more precisely, right? After all, you’ve been handling the navigation all the way."

"I did it on purpose."

Gu Ji turned his head, looking at the discussing passengers, and said, "Bolton, don’t you think it’s a bit too coincidental that the plane’s communication failed and there’s no signal on our phones at the same time?"
