1 Month To Doomsday But I Awakened Before That - Chapter 12

The plane flew to Binzhou, the city where Boyang Lake was located.

It had just entered the stratosphere and was moving smoothly.

The air stewardess was serving food to the passengers.

“Hey, come here!”

A middle-aged man yelled at the air stewardess in an irritated tone.

“How can I help you?”

The air stewardess asked in a low voice with a pleasant expression on her face.

“Are these dumplings?” said the middle-aged man sarcastically.

“Use your eyes and take a look. These are all lumpy!”

The air stewardess looked troubled, but she did not utter a single word.

“Come and have a taste. Do you think it’s edible?! Finish this and bring me another bowl!”

The middle-aged man’s voice became louder and louder.

It attracted the attention of the other passengers.

Su Chen, who was sitting in the front row, said, “Hey, it’ll be the same even if she brought you a new bowl. We’re high up in the air. The air pressure and boiling point are low. That’s why the food doesn’t taste good. Didn’t you learn anything from the nine years of compulsory education?”

“Who are you?”

The middle-aged man became even more displeased.

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Su Chen.

Su Chen also stood up and began showing off his muscles.

The middle-aged man was terrified at Su Chen’s figure. He subconsciously took a step back.

However, when he noticed that everyone in the cabin was looking at him, he refused to back down.

“Mind your own business!”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he reached out his hand to push Su Chen.

Before he could do that, Su Chen retaliated and the middle-aged man ended up kneeling on the floor.

“Eat your food gratefully, understand?” said Su Chen in a low voice.

“I… I understand! It hurts!”

The middle-aged man began begging for mercy.

Su Chen released his grip.

Then, the middle-aged man went back to his seat resentfully. He lowered his head and he stayed silent.

“Thank you.”

The air stewardess said softly as she walked past Su Chen.

“Can I get a glass of water?”

Su Chen asked with a smile.

“Of course!”

The stewardess headed to the galley.

Suddenly, the plane rattled!

“Dear passengers, please do not worry. It’s just the turbulence!”

The stewardesses attempted to comfort the passengers.

Su Chen looked out of the window. He caught sight of a huge figure flashing past the plane.

Although it was very fast, Su Chen could tell that it was a huge bird!

‘There’s a bird so high up in the skies?!’

Meanwhile, in the cockpit of the plane, the pilots were frantically trying to keep things under control.

“What’s going on?!” shouted the captain in fear.

The plane’s dashboard had become chaotic.

“We need to inform the passengers to keep their seatbelts fastened!”

The captain began broadcasting to the passengers, “Our plane is going through turbulence. It will be a little bumpy. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelts. Ladies and gentlemen…”

Before he could finish his words, the captain was hit on the head by a foreign object flying. It came from outside the window. Blood instantly flowed out like a river and he lost consciousness.

The hole in the window caused violent decompression and a loss of atmosphere.

“Captain! Captain!”

The co-pilot tried to wake the captain. However, it was useless.

He also tried to control the plane but to no avail.

In less than two minutes, the co-pilot also fainted due to the lack of oxygen in the cockpit.

Worst still, the right engine of the plane was damaged.

Thick black smoke was forming.

The plane’s turbulence became more intense and it sloped down rapidly.

Everything was a mess. Oxygen masks were dropped. People’s luggage had all fallen down everywhere.

Su Chen rushed to the cockpit.

He saw that both pilots were unconscious.

Blood was still flowing out of the captain’s head.

Su Chen quickly put on oxygen masks for both of them.

After two minutes, the co-pilot woke up.

Su Chen then picked up the recording board and pasted glue strips around it.

“What are you doing?”

The co-pilot was confused.

Using the tape-pasted recording board, Su Chen blocked the hole in the window.

It worked. Finally, the cockpit’s air pressure returned to normal.

Su Chen moved the captain away and sat on the pilot’s seat.

If something was not done, the plane would crash.

Additionally, the control panel was out of power.

Su Chen asked the co-pilot anxiously, “If I restore the power, can you land the plane?”

“What? How are you going to restore the power?”

The co-pilot looked at Su Chen in disbelief.

Su Chen looked at the dashboard. They had about less than three minutes left.

He looked around and came up with an idea.

Electromagnetism could bypass the current.

“I need a magnet.”

As he spoke, he used a tool to twist off a panel.

“What are you doing? Don’t break that,” said the co-pilot nervously.

Su Chen took out the magnet and found the broken fuse.

There was not much time left. The plane had dropped extensively. Even the city’s buildings could clearly be seen.

“We’re going to crash!” exclaimed the co-pilot.

They flew past a tall building and almost crashed into it.

The co-pilot could no longer control the plane.

At this critical moment, Su Chen successfully paired the two faulty wires on the electromagnetic ring!

The control panel returned to normal and the plane landed safely. All three hundred and fifteen passengers were rescued.

“Ding dong! You have successfully checked in an out-of-control plane and received top-notch piloting skills!”

Su Chen heard the system’s voice just as he regained his senses.

“System, I think you should award me the skill to repair planes!”

People began gathering at the airport. The media and bloggers were all present.

They wanted to interview the mysterious man who managed to save a crashing plane.

Although Su Chen tried to leave as soon as possible, he could not escape.

“How did you manage to repair the plane under such stressful circumstances? What experiences did you have?”

The reporters shoved their microphones near Su Chen’s mouth.

Su Chen replied calmly, “Learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry.”

Everyone was shocked.

Another article titled, “If you learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry, then you won’t even be afraid of a plane crash!” flooded the internet.

“We all had the same nine years of compulsory education, but why is this man so outstanding?!”

“If I master those subjects, then I can fly a plane too?!”

“Even if you did, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to fix a plane when it goes out of control. Your life will be in the hands of fate”

“My life is in the hands of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, not fate!”

“I’m amazed at how calm he was during such a critical situation!”

Su Chen rushed to a hotel in a taxi. At the same time, he managed to catch a glimpse of Boyang Lake.

It looked like such a peaceful lake.. Why was it called the Devil’s Lake?!
