"Captain—" Liu Mingfeng screamed, tore off his headset, and was about to rush up to fight with Li Yang, but a fist slammed into his face, knocking him back into his seat. Then a gun was pressed against his head, and a cold, emotionless voice reached his ears.
"If you don't want to die, then move!"
"Do you believe I won't shoot you?" Seeing Tang Lie unmoved, Li Yang sneered, pressing the gun barrel against Tang Lie's head as he spoke coldly.
"I've already informed the ground!" Tang Long didn't answer Li Yang's words, but said this lightly.
"Are you trying to tell me that I'll be arrested by the police once I get off the plane, ha ha, thank you for the reminder. But don't worry, what you think will not happen. Haven't you seen the situation outside? The boss of the Yingjiang Mountain Eagle Gang had a conflict with a twenty-year-old boy, killed him, and even tried to shoot others. I led my brothers to kill all ten or so of the gang's villains to maintain the peace on the plane, wouldn't the police give me a good citizen award when I get off the plane, ha ha..." Li Yang laughed wildly.
"You... shameless—" Tang Lie was so angry at Li Yang's words that he was panting hard, finally squeezing out the word shameless.
"Shameless?" Li Yang laughed heartily, then his expression changed, and he knocked Tang Lie's head twice with the gun handle, blood streaming down as Tang Lie cried out in pain.
"Captain—" Liu Mingfeng yelled, but before he could act, the man in black punched him twice, making his nose bleed and eyes blackened.
"Turn the plane around and land in Ruili, this is my last warning!" After arguing, Li Yang sneered coldly.
"I have to be responsible for my passengers on this plane, I cannot put them at risk!" Tang Lie stared straight ahead, refusing to yield.
"Fine, you're not landing, huh? I'll kill you, then kill this kid, and then jump off the plane with my men using parachutes. I'll make you bear the blame forever; it's your fault they all died!" Li Yang, seeing Tang Lie's die-hard spirit, knew that threatening him with his own life was futile, so he changed tactics and smiled at Tang Lie as he spoke.
Though he said it with a smile, in Tang Lie's ears it was like a thunderous explosion, more frightening than a ghost wailing at midnight, instantly making his face pale.
Tang Lie knew this guy meant what he said, if he really capitulated, this guy might really do it. If he died, it wouldn't matter, but the hundreds of people on the plane would also die because of him, making him a true sinner.
But if he forced a landing in such severe weather, it would most likely lead to an incident. He was caught in a dilemma for a while.
"Captain—let's take a gamble!" Liu Mingfeng also realized the severity of the situation. Anyway, everyone would die if something went wrong during landing. He was willing to bear all the responsibility, but if it succeeded, there would still be a ray of hope for everyone. However, if they resisted, then all the innocent lives on the plane would be lost.
"Let all the blame fall on me!" Tang Long murmured to himself, then looked at Liu Mingfeng. "Let's make the perfect landing possible. Are you confident?"
"I am!" Liu Mingfeng showed a determined expression.
"Get out, don't come in and disturb us!" Tang Lie said to Li Yang.
"You better not play tricks on me, or you know the consequences!" Li Yang pointed at Tang Lie with his finger, gestured to the man in black, and walked out of the cockpit.
"Mingfeng, this battle is either we succeed or we die trying, do you regret it?" After Li Yang and his minions left the cockpit, Tang Lie sighed as he looked at Liu Mingfeng.
"Captain, a true man knows what to do and what not to do. I'm not very old, but I know that some things must be faced, and I also believe that this time, we can create a miracle." Liu Mingfeng smiled and said.
"Yes, I underestimated myself. How can I get through this challenge without confidence? We'll make it; hundreds of innocent lives are on our shoulders!" Tang Lie smiled self-mockingly. His twenty years of cultivation were not better than this rookie, as he had lost confidence and fell into a lower realm. How could he talk about victory with such a mindset?
"Right now, the sky over Ruili is filled with dark clouds, accompanied by lightning. Our only chance is to land from the place without clouds and get below the clouds, flying at low altitude. But flying at low altitude is undoubtedly very dangerous, it's all up to our skills, are you confident?" Regaining his confidence, Tang Lie didn't hesitate anymore, analyzing the current situation.
Indeed, as he said, the sky over Ruili City within a thousand kilometers was densely clouded, with possible lightning strikes. Now, the plane had flown far from the skies over Ruili City, if they turned back and flew over Ruili City to land, they could be struck by thunder.
The only opportunity was to start descending now at a place where the clouds were thin and there was no lightning down to below the clouds, starting from the stratosphere down to the troposphere, approaching Ruili City in the troposphere, thus minimizing the chances of the airplane being struck by lightning.
However, flying in the troposphere has too many unstable factors. Not to mention the air currents, just the birds in the sky are a big problem. High mountains, buildings, and other factors must also be considered.
"Hmm!" Liu Mingfeng didn't say much, but gave Tang Lie a firm nod.
"Release the bird-repellent sonic waves, begin descent!" Seeing Liu Mingfeng's nod, Tang Lie didn't hesitate anymore and immediately issued the command.
Eerie sound waves emitted from the plane, dispersing all the birds within ten miles, as well as many of the clouds.
"Descent!"
The plane swiftly maneuvered through the clouds, slowly descending.
"Ah—" The turbulence caused by maneuvering through the clouds made the passengers inside the plane cry out involuntarily.
"Please do not panic, all passengers. The turbulence caused by flying through the clouds is unavoidable, so please fasten your seatbelts and remain seated. The plane is beginning its descent and will land at Ruili Airport in ten minutes!" The sweet voice of a flight attendant echoed inside the plane, somewhat calming the passengers' anxious hearts.
What the passengers did not know was that the female flight attendant who calmed them was trembling non-stop during the announcement, her beautiful face pale without a hint of color, eyes full of terror.
One minute later, the plane descended below the clouds, about three hundred meters below them, but the descent didn't stop because Tang Lie saw ahead, the clouds were almost only five thousand meters above the ground, while the plane was still about seven thousand meters from the ground. The plane slowly descended, and was only two hundred kilometers from Ruili City's airport, yet only four thousand meters high, which was quite dangerous!
But Tang Lie still controlled the plane's descent. Though a thousand meters above the clouds, Tang Lie still felt it was unsafe; at such a height, even a tiny lightning bolt could cause the plane to crash, and all of them would be reduced to dust.
