Captain Brooke quickly asked, "Guri, was there anything unusual in the cockpit before this?"
Guri said, "About forty minutes ago, I went into the cockpit and asked the two pilots what they wanted to eat for lunch. I didn't find anything unusual at that time. Then I went to the back cabin …"
Captain Brooke looked at the other first class flight attendants.
One of the flight attendants said, "The co-pilot, Mr. Wilkins, went to the bathroom …"
"What? Wilkins left the cockpit! "Brooke exclaimed.
The first thought that came to Brooke's mind was that there was something wrong with Captain Johnson! After the co-pilot left, he was the only one in the cockpit.
However, the male flight attendant immediately said, "When Mr. Wilkins left, he called me into the cockpit according to the rules. I didn't leave until he returned to the cockpit."
Ever since the Germanwings crash where the pilot committed suicide and caused the plane to crash, most airlines in the world urgently updated a rule that there must be at least two people in the cockpit at all times.
What Wilkins did was completely within the rules.
Brooke looked confused and asked, "What else?"
"Wilkins came out of the bathroom and brought Captain Johnson's lunch into the cockpit," another flight attendant said. Another flight attendant said, "He also told me to bring his lunch in half an hour later. It was when I was delivering the meal that I found that the cockpit had lost contact …"
Wilkins touched Captain Johnson's lunch … Brooke felt that something was wrong.
At this time, the plane's altitude had slowly descended to 28000 feet. Brooke's heart couldn't help but race. He was about to continue to knock on the door and try to contact the cockpit when he suddenly saw the indicator light of the communicator next to the cockpit start to flash. Then, the communicator sounded.
Captain Brooke and Flight Attendant Guri looked at each other. Then, Brooke stepped forward and picked up the communicator with a serious expression.
"This is the cockpit!" Wilkins' voice came from the communicator.
Captain Brooke quickly said, "Wilkins, it's Brooke! What happened? Hurry up and open the cockpit door! "
Wilkins said calmly, "Captain Brooke, I've decided to end my life!"
Brooke was struck by lightning. The worst had happened.
He quickly said, "Wilkins! Don't do anything stupid! Open the hatch! "
Wilkins was unmoved. He said calmly, "Captain Brooke, I've been planning for this day for a long time. I've already lost the courage to live. My only wish is to do something earth-shattering, so that everyone in Australia and even the world will remember my name forever!"
Brook's face turned pale. Wilkins was so calm when he said such crazy words. It was obvious how strong his will was. And from Wilkins's words, Brook could almost tell that this man was suffering from severe depression.
But how did he pass the psychological evaluation? What the f * ck were the airline doctors doing? Brooke roared inwardly.
All he could do was try his best to speak calmly. "Wilkins, don't go to extremes! This is just a psychological illness that can be cured through active treatment! "
"Captain Brooke, don't waste your time." Wilkins chuckled. "I've waited for this day for far too long. No one can persuade me to turn back, not even God!"
"No …" Brooke said desperately, "Where's Captain Johansson? What did you do to him? "
"He's already gone to meet God," Wilkins said. "I want to apologize to his family. He's a good old man. He's going to retire in three months … I put a highly toxic drug in his lunch. I didn't want to do that, but if I didn't, he would've stopped me!"
"You're crazy …" Brooke felt his blood run cold.
"Although you can't help me pass on these words to Captain Johansson's family, there's still the black box, right?" Wilkins said with a smile. "If they can find it at the bottom of the sea …"
The black box contained a cabin sound recorder that would record all the sounds in the cockpit. If the plane crashed and the search and rescue personnel could find the black box, Captain Johansson's family would indeed receive Wilkins's "apology."
After hearing Wilkins's words, Brooke realized that they were now in the middle of the vast ocean.
If the plane crashed, there would be nothing left of them. It was chilling to think about.
"Don't do this, Wilkins!" Brooke begged. "There are more than two hundred passengers and so many crew members on the plane. They're all innocent …"
The flight attendants next to them had already guessed the truth from Brooke's words and expression. Their faces were all pale, and their hearts were filled with despair.
Wilkins smiled and said, "Maybe this is God's choice! Farewell, Captain Brooke! " Don't worry, I'll control the plane to fall into the sea smoothly. I'll try to make everyone's last moments as comfortable as possible … "
Wilkins's words made Brooke's hair stand on end. He cried out, "No! No! Wilkins, I beg you, don't … "
However, his pleas had no effect at all. Wilkins ended the call without hesitation.
Brooke felt weak all over. The intercom slipped from his hand and hung on the cabin wall, swaying weakly …
Guri hurriedly shouted, "Captain Brooke, please think of something …"
Brooke also came to his senses. It was not the time to be depressed. At this rate, the plane would crash into the sea in a stable manner soon. The chances of survival were infinitely close to zero.
Captain Brooke said decisively, "Call the air marshal over and ask him to bring an explosion-proof axe! Also, close the curtains of the first class cabin! "
In fact, Brooke was almost desperate. With the continuous occurrence of hijacking incidents in history, aircraft manufacturers had become more and more strict with the protection of the cockpit. The cockpit door was one-way locked, and it was almost insanely strong. Not to mention an explosion-proof axe, even small explosives — of course, there was no such thing on the plane — would not be able to open the door. This was just a last-ditch effort.
As for closing the curtains, it was naturally to block the sight of the passengers. Of course, it was better than nothing. If they really used an explosion-proof axe to break the door, it would be impossible for the passengers not to hear it.
In fact, although Brooke and the flight attendants' conversation was very quiet, Xia Ruofei, who was sitting in the first class cabin, had heard it clearly. He even heard Xia Ruofei's words from the intercom.
Of course, this was because Xia Ruofei felt that something was wrong, so he listened attentively.
Therefore, among all the passengers, Xia Ruofei was the only one who was fully aware of this sudden crisis.
Xia Ruofei also frowned slightly, preparing for the worst in his heart.
Once the plane really crashed into the sea, the only way to protect oneself was to hide in the Ring-Tu space.
The possibility of an explosion when the plane crashed into the sea was lower than a direct crash or a mountain. Hiding in the Ring-Tu space was still a high probability of survival.
It was impossible for Xia Ruofei to save the people on this plane.
He was not a saint, but he could not hide in the Ring-Tu space alone without caring about Feng Jing's life. When the time came, he would have to take Feng Jing with him, which meant that the secret of the Ring-Tu space would be exposed.
Xia Ruofei's mind turned quickly, and he quickly thought about how to survive this unexpected disaster.
The air marshal hidden among the passengers quickly rushed to the front cabin after receiving the notice. After Captain Brooke briefly explained the situation, he ordered, "Now use the explosion-proof axe to break the door! Use all your strength to chop it! And do it quickly! We don't have much time left … "
The air marshal was also desperate. They had all been professionally trained on the plane. They knew in their hearts that it was impossible to open the cockpit door with a mere explosion-proof axe.
But what else could he do? He could only clench his teeth and chop at the cockpit door with the axe.
A huge force came, and the axe almost fell out of his hand, but it only left a shallow mark on the cockpit door.
The air marshal clenched his teeth and chopped again with the axe …
When the sound came, the first-class passengers showed a look of uneasiness. Feng Jing also had a trace of worry in her eyes. She looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Ruofei showed a comforting smile to Feng Jing and said, "It's okay, don't worry!"
Kuang! Kuang! Kuang!
The sound of chopping continued, but the cockpit door didn't move. Several young female flight attendants couldn't help but cry.
The first-class passengers were also a little restless. Finally, a middle-aged white man stood up and walked to the cockpit.
However, Captain Brooke had arranged for the male flight attendant to guard the curtain.
"What happened?" The middle-aged white man asked with a frown.
Although the flight attendant was very scared, he still tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Sir, there is a small fault with the cockpit door, but it doesn't affect the flight. The crew will soon deal with it!"
The middle-aged white man wanted to look inside, but his line of sight was blocked by the male flight attendant. The flight attendant said, "Sir, please return to your seat! Don't affect the crew's work! "
Perhaps because he heard that it was only a fault with the cockpit door, the middle-aged white man was still a little suspicious, but after shrugging his shoulders, he went back to his seat and sat down.
The seats in the first-class cabin were equipped with LCD screens. Passengers could choose to watch movies, listen to music, and check the real-time position and status of the plane. Xia Ruofei had already noticed that the plane had been descending and had deviated far from the scheduled route.
In addition, he heard the conversation between Captain Brooke and Wilkins in the cockpit, so he knew that the seriousness of the situation was far more serious than what the male flight attendant had just said.
Xia Ruofei knew that the only way to save the plane now was to open the cockpit door as soon as possible.
And the current progress didn't seem to be going well …
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei stood up. He first said to Feng Jing next to him, "Sister Jing, I'll go to the front and take a look. Don't worry, it'll be fine …"
Feng Jing nodded nervously. She was indeed a little scared. She didn't know how many times she had taken international flights, but this was the first time she had encountered such a problem.
But after seeing Xia Ruofei's gaze, her heart immediately calmed down a lot.
Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "Put on your seat belt first!"
"Okay!" Feng Jing didn't hesitate and immediately put on her seat belt.
Xia Ruofei stepped forward. Of course, he was stopped by the male flight attendant, "Sir, the crew is dealing with a minor fault with the cockpit door. Please return to your seat."
Xia Ruofei said lightly, "I think Captain Brooke may need help."
The muscular male flight attendant blocked the passage and stared into Xia Ruofei's eyes and said, "I don't think so … What you need to do is to sit in your seat. It's best if you put on your seat belt."
Xia Ruofei curled his lips. He didn't have time to tangle with this flight attendant. Of course, he wasn't angry. After all, the other party was just fulfilling his duty.
Xia Ruofei took another step forward. The male flight attendant had a vigilant look on his face. He reached out and blocked Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei only gave him a light push. She didn't seem to use much strength, but that 1.85 meters tall, muscular male attendant was like a straw that couldn't withstand the wind. He staggered and gave way to the passage.
Xia Ruofei walked quickly in the direction of the cockpit. The male flight attendant had a look of disbelief. He couldn't figure out how this skinny Asian man could be so strong.
But he quickly came back to his senses — he still had to fulfill his duty. He quickly chased after him and shouted, "Sir, stop! You can't go over there! "
However, the distance between the first-class cabin and the cockpit was only a few steps. Xia Ruofei seemed to be taking a stroll, but his speed was very fast. The male flight attendant couldn't catch up at all.
Soon, Xia Ruofei came to the cockpit door. He saw the security officer gritting his teeth and frantically hacking at the unmoving cockpit door with an explosion-proof ax. His back was soaked with sweat.
When Captain Brooke saw Xia Ruofei coming over, he couldn't help but frown and ask, "Johnson! Why did you let this gentleman come over? "
The male flight attendant named Johnson said with a bitter face, "I'm sorry, Captain Brooke. I tried to stop him, but I couldn't stop him …"
Captain Brooke said to Xia Ruofei seriously, "Sir, we are now dealing with an unexpected situation. Please return to your seat immediately! There may be danger here. "
