During this ten-hour flight, the security team members truly experienced what meticulous service was like.
During the cruise, the two flight attendants worked in shifts, shuttling back and forth in the cabin almost non-stop, providing the most thoughtful service to everyone at any time.
The drinks in the glasses were almost finished, and there was no need to press the bell. A beautiful flight attendant would immediately come to refill them. The three meals were even more sumptuous. In addition, Qantas also provided each passenger with an exquisite toiletry bag, which contained a full set of Bulgari nursing suits. Except for the seat specifications, which were still economy class, the service was completely the standard of first class.
This was a true home. While the security team members enjoyed the super-standard and high-quality service, they once again saw Xia Ruofei's omnipresent influence through these details.
When the first ray of dawn shone through the porthole over the sea, the seat belt indicator light in the cabin finally lit up. The plane had entered the descending stage.
After the flight attendants confirmed that everyone had fastened their seat belts, straightened the seat backs, and put away the small table, they finally finished their work and returned to their seats.
The huge fuselage of the Boeing 757 slowly lowered its altitude under the control of the pilot. Soon, the runway that extended to the sea from Taoyuan Island appeared in their field of vision.
The airport runway of Taoyuan Island had absolutely no problem taking off and landing medium-sized airliners like the Boeing 737. If it was a Boeing 757, the length of the runway was barely in line with the standard, but the pilot's control was very precise, and the landing point had to be very accurate. Once there was a slight flat surface, the pilot could only turn back. Otherwise, it was easy to rush off the runway because the runway was not long enough.
Therefore, the landing operation was also done by the most experienced captain, Nelson.
He held the joystick with one hand and the other hand on the accelerator handle, concentrating on controlling the plane to steadily descend along the runway.
Xia Ruofei had already arrived at the airport in advance. At the same time, he also controlled the Taixu Mystical Clear Formation to fully activate on the side of the airport runway.
The staff of Taoyuan Island airport were also in the zone. This was the first time the controller of the tower had commanded a plane to land on Taoyuan Island. However, the flight route on Taoyuan Island was relatively simple, and there were no other planes taking off and landing at the airport, so they only needed to strictly follow the standard procedures.
The Qantas Boeing 757 was getting bigger and bigger in everyone's field of vision. Soon, it steadily entered the runway, and then touched the ground lightly at the expected landing point. Nielsen's entire operation was almost flawless and could be said to be close to a perfect level.
The reverse thrust of the engine was turned on, and the speed of the plane began to decrease rapidly. Finally, at the second last exit, the speed had decreased to a safe speed for taxiing, and smoothly left the runway.
For such a heavy aircraft to land on a short runway with a margin of a few hundred meters, Nielsen's skills were indeed excellent.
The airport's guidance vehicle was already waiting on the taxiway. The guidance vehicle flashing yellow lights guided the Qantas Boeing 757 to the scheduled parking spot.
When the plane descended through the clouds, the security team members on the plane couldn't help but look out of the porthole.
At that stage, his field of vision was an endless ocean of deep blue.
In the process of the plane's approach, there was a turn procedure. During the turn, Peach Blossom Island happened to be on the right side of the plane. Everyone suddenly saw this small island, which was like a pearl embedded in the sea. The lush vegetation and white beaches on the island were clearly visible, and the seawater around the island gradually changed from light blue to dark blue with the change of depth. It looked very layered.
Everyone was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and they felt that joining the security team was a very correct choice.
When the plane landed, whether it was the security team members or the Qantas crew members, they all felt the refreshing atmosphere on Peach Blossom Island. No one knew the existence of spiritual energy, but they felt as if there was a trace of sweetness in the air, which made them feel refreshed.
After the plane taxied in place and the engine was turned off, the gangway ladder car that had been prepared on the side drove over and steadily fixed the gangway ladder in place of the cabin door.
A ground crew member quickly ran up the gangway ladder and knocked on the cabin door.
After the flight attendant in the cabin had to signal, she immediately opened the cabin door.
Ma Zheng unfastened his seat belt, stood up, and began to organize everyone to take their luggage and get off the plane in an orderly manner.
Ma Zheng and Lin Yue walked at the front of the team, and Xu Yougang was at the back.
In addition to the veterans of Lone Wolf, there were also some old comrades contacted by Xu Yougang. These two groups of people formed the main body of the Peach Blossom Guard.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei basically decided that in the future, Ma Zheng would be in charge of the security team, and Xu Yougang would be his deputy. Several officers of Lone Wolf would be responsible for the work.
As soon as Ma Zheng and his wife, Lin Yue, came out of the cabin door, they saw Xia Ruofei waiting below the plane with a smile on his face. They quickly quickened their pace.
Xia Ruofei laughed and came forward to hug Ma Zheng. When facing Lin Yue, Xia Ruofei originally wanted to shake hands, but Lin Yue was very generous and hugged Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei asked, "Old Company Commander, sister-in-law, did everything go well on the way?"
"It went very well! Along the way, the people of Qantas served us like masters! "Ma Zheng said," Ruofei, you have a lot of face! "
Xia Ruofei was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, "My face?"
Lin Yue rolled her eyes at Ma Zheng and said with a smile, "Ruofei, this time Qantas seems to know that you are the one who rented the charter plane, so they are very warm to us! By the way, there is also a captain who said that he is an old acquaintance of yours. When he saw us Huaxia people, it was like seeing a relative! "
Just then, Xia Ruofei heard a warm voice shouting from above, "Hi! Xia! We meet again! "
Xia Ruofei looked up and saw Brook sticking his head out of the side window of the cockpit and waving at Xia Ruofei.
Brook was also very surprised. Although he knew that this was the charter plane that Xia Ruofei rented for the staff, because the destination was a small island in the South Pacific, he did not expect to see Xia Ruofei here.
When Xia Ruofei saw that it was Brook, he was also very surprised. He and Brook were really fated to meet. The first time they met, it was because of the hijacking incident, and the two of them worked together to avoid a huge life and death crisis. The second time they met, his business jet and Brook's Airbus 350, which had the Taoyuan company's logo painted on it, landed one after the other. They even made it in time for Brook's last flight before his retirement, and he witnessed Brook fly the plane through the water gate and his retirement ceremony. And today, he actually met Brook for the third time on Taoyuan Island.
It had to be said that the two of them were really fated.
Of course, this third meeting was something that Brook strongly requested and fought for himself.
Xia Ruofei also waved at Brook and said loudly, "Hey! Captain Brook! Let's talk later! "
Half of Brook's body was out of the window. Xia Ruofei was really worried that this old man would accidentally fall down. The cockpit of this Boeing 757 was very high. If he really fell down, even if he did not die, he would be half dead.
The security team members also filed out of the cabin and walked down the gangway in an orderly manner.
Xia Ruofei waved at everyone and nodded with a smile.
Ma Zheng greeted Xia Ruofei and began to organize the personnel to line up.
Xia Ruofei, the boss, personally came to the airport to greet them, which made everyone feel quite proud. The veterans who had worked with Xia Ruofei in the army also smiled and greeted Xia Ruofei.
Everyone had a strong sense of novelty. After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, they still did not feel tired.
When all the security team members got off the plane, Brook immediately walked out of the cabin and walked down the gangway to Xia Ruofei.
As soon as they met, Brook gave Xia Ruofei a big hug and said happily, "Xia! I didn't expect to see you again on this small island in the South Pacific Ocean! Is this what you Huaxia people call 'fated to meet a thousand miles apart'? By the way, I've been learning Chinese recently. Oh … your language is really too difficult! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Brook, 'fated to meet a thousand miles apart' is usually used to describe couples, so it's not appropriate to use it here."
Then Xia Ruofei asked again, "By the way, haven't you already retired? Why are you still participating in the flight mission? "
Brook smiled and explained to Xia Ruofei the reason for his appearance on this charter flight. At this time, Captain Nelson also got off the plane with the crew — except for a co-pilot who was in the cockpit finishing the final touches, all the crew members were there.
So Brook introduced Nelson to Xia Ruofei and said, "Xia, this old guy is Nelson. He's my classmate in the aviation school, but he's two years younger than me, so he can fly for another two years!"
"Captain Nelson, thank you for taking the trouble to fly my staff charter flight!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "My staff told me that Qantas' service is very thoughtful, and they are very grateful!"
Nelson said with a smile, "Mr. Xia, you're too polite! You're always a distinguished guest of Qantas! Every team of Qantas has learned the case of your forced landing. It's really shocking! To be honest, even professional pilots may not be able to do it better than you. It's a miracle that a layman who has never been in contact with flying can do that! So, you're the idol of all Qantas pilots! "
"Haha! You're flattering me! " Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Although I can't rule out the possibility that I have a certain talent for flying, don't forget that human survival instinct is very strong, and it can fully exert one's potential. If you ask me to fly again in a simulator, I'm afraid I can't do it! "
After a few words of greeting, Xia Ruofei asked, "Captain Brook, Captain Nelson, what's your next plan?"
Nelson said, "According to the company's arrangement, we'll fly directly back to Sydney after filling up the fuel."
The flight from Taoyuan Island to Australia was much shorter than the flight from Huaxia, and the flight time was not very long. In addition, Nelson's crew had arranged for a two-person flight, so they did not need to spend the night and could fly directly back.
In addition to considering safety factors, Qantas also considered the pilot's flight hour limit, so it arranged for a two-person flight.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I won't keep you here for the night. In fact, the sunset on this island is very beautiful, and it's a pity not to stay and enjoy it. "
Nelson smiled and said, "I'll come again if I have the chance in the future!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Brook! Captain Nelson, although I won't keep you for the night, I still have to treat you to a meal. I think you should rest for a few hours and have lunch on the island before returning. It's not the way we treat our guests in Huaxia! "
Nelson and Brook looked at each other. Obviously, they could not refuse Xia Ruofei's invitation. Soon they nodded slightly, and then Brook said, "Xia, thank you for your warm hospitality!"
Xia Ruofei said happily, "Great, I'll ask someone to take you to your room first. I need to settle the staff first, so I won't accompany you."
"Okay!" Brook said, "You go do your thing first!"
Xia Ruofei called Li Yifu over and gave him a few instructions. He asked Li Yifu to arrange for someone to take the crew to rest.
He took Ma Zheng and the others to the guard's camp.
Although the guards were also equipped with vehicles, they were mainly open-top all-terrain vehicles. Now that there were more than a hundred guards, the vehicles naturally couldn't fit all of them. When they set off from Peach Blossom Farm, they had to use three large buses to barely fit all of them. Since Peach Blossom Island was so small, there was naturally no need for so many vehicles.
Fortunately, Taoyuan Island itself was not big, so it was not too far away. So Xia Ruofei and the guards walked to the camp.
The guards were all scouts and special forces, so they naturally did not complain about walking such a short distance. What's more, they could enjoy the scenery of Taoyuan Island.
Therefore, the group of people was in high spirits. They walked out of the airport in two columns, and under Xia Ruofei's lead, they went straight to the guard's camp.
Ma Zheng's family members did not follow along. Xia Ruofei had specially arranged a one-bedroom, one-living room employee apartment for them, right next to the Yanhuang Building. Most of the newly recruited employees also lived here, but the single employees shared an apartment in pairs. Xia Ruofei asked Li Yifu to take Lin Yue to settle down first.
After walking for a while, everyone walked into the forest where the camp was located. The Taoyuan Guard's camp immediately came into view.
Fences made of logs, fortifications covered with camouflage canvas, tall sentry towers, and buildings painted with camouflage on the outer walls … Everyone suddenly felt a strong sense of war.
