We're Doomed!

As the passenger plane carrying Xiang Kun and his group began to descend and approach the airport airspace, an unexpected change occurred.

Two birds crashed head-on into the windshield, shattering into pieces, their bodies smashed to pieces, their internal organs and blood splattered all over the glass.

The captain, first officer, and security officer in the cockpit were all startled, but before they could react, two more birds crashed into the windshield.

This time, there was a relatively large bird, and a snowflake-like crack even appeared on the windshield.

The crew remained calm. Aircraft windshields are typically laminated structures like 388 or 386, meaning each layer of glass is 3mm, 8mm, and 8mm thick respectively. The outermost 3mm layer is coated with a transparent conductive film, which provides electric heating for de-icing and defrosting, but it is not a structural layer. Its cracking does not directly damage the overall structure of the windshield.

Birds colliding with windshields is not uncommon, so this is something that needs to be taken into account during the design phase.

But just as the captain and first officer were about to report the situation to the airport tower, they suddenly noticed even more birds swooping towards them, arriving in the blink of an eye.

The passenger plane, which had already begun to descend, suddenly shook violently a few times.

The passengers on board were somewhat nervous, but a few frequent flyers quietly reassured their friends, "It's alright, it's probably just turbulence."

Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er, on the other hand, were somewhat nervous and flustered because of Xiang Kun's seemingly "predictive" actions and his current solemn expression.

Before Tang Baona could ask anything, the passengers on board clearly heard the sound of something hitting the fuselage, and then someone exclaimed and pointed to the right-hand window.

As they were approaching the airport, the sun visors were opened, and many passengers saw sparks and black smoke coming from the right wing.

Next, one different bird after another glided past the side of the fuselage. Some almost rolled past the fuselage and windows, while others crashed directly into the wings, turning into a mangled mess of flesh and blood. Occasionally, a bird even crashed into the turbofan engine.

Aircraft engines are designed with bird strikes in mind, and even undergo "bird swallowing tests" to ensure the structural integrity of the engine after a bird strike.

If a bird weighing a few hundred grams hits the aircraft, the engine generally won't stop; it will only cause a brief drop in thrust or compressor instability for a second or two. If it's a larger bird, and if handled properly and promptly, the engine can usually stop safely without causing secondary damage such as fire, and then the other engine will be used to land the aircraft.

The problem is that the passenger plane is now facing a dense flock of birds, and a flock of birds that is like a suicide squad, actively attacking the passenger plane without fear of death.

It was as if this passenger plane was a wonderful and longed-for destination for them, attracting them like moths to a flame; or perhaps it was a mortal enemy of all birds, for which they would rather perish together than avoid it.

Passengers in the cabin gasped in alarm, but just as they were beginning to panic over the fire caused by the impact to the right engine, the cockpit windshield was shattered by several large birds that crashed into it. Sensors inside the cabin detected the drastic pressure change, and the electromagnetic lock on the cockpit door automatically unlocked and opened to balance the pressure.

The sudden opening of the cabin door caused immediate chaos inside. Fortunately, both the crew and passengers had fastened their seatbelts and were prepared when the incident occurred. Apart from some bird entrails, debris, and blood rushing into the cockpit and causing screams, there were no major incidents.

Yang Zhen'er was sitting by the window, and she could see the burning engine right in front of her. She also saw birds being smashed into bloody foam. She was terrified and burst into tears, grabbing Tang Baona's hand next to her. "We're doomed! Nana, we're doomed! Chef Xiang, we're doomed! I don't want to die! I'm still a virgin! Oh my god! Lao Xia, help! I haven't watched so many games and anime! And I haven't had time to watch two new dramas! I should have known better than to fly! I sneezed when I left this morning, and I knew something was wrong! This is a warning from heaven! Nana, I don't want to die! Chef Xiang, if you have superpowers, hurry up and unleash them! Mom..."

However, at this moment, the cabin depressurized, and everyone was shouting, so few people could hear her clearly. Even Tang Baona, who was sitting next to her, couldn't understand her shouts.

Of course, Xiang Kun heard every word clearly, but at this moment he had no time or mood to tease Yang the Third. He quickly pulled over the pop-up oxygen masks and put them on Yang Zhen'er and Tang Baona respectively, then closed his eyes and entered "Hyper-Sensory State".

Xiang Kun naturally knew that this bird attack was not an accident, but an attack orchestrated by someone behind the scenes. He even knew that the mastermind was outside, the "mutated giant bird" that he had encountered twice before, and which had just been driven away by Xia, Niu, Guo, and Ai working together the most recent time!

He was also quite certain that the "mutated giant bird" that led the flock to attack the passenger plane was targeting him!

Tang Baona felt the plane begin to tilt and then dive downwards.

For a moment, she, like the other passengers on the plane, was utterly despondent, feeling that she was doomed to die and had no chance of survival.

Tang Baona's tears flowed uncontrollably. She held Yang Zhen'er's hand with her right hand and instinctively reached out to hold Xiang Kun's hand with her left.

But as soon as she grasped Xiang Kun's large, thick hand, she felt a coolness spread through her palm and throughout her body. This actually made her less afraid and nervous. She subconsciously turned to look at Xiang Kun and found that he had his eyes closed, as if he were sleeping.

If someone unfamiliar with Xiang Kun were to think that this bald, big guy looked quite imposing, yet was still timid, and was now so frightened that he had closed his eyes, Tang Baona knew very well that Xiang Kun was definitely not too scared to open his eyes at this moment. Moreover, his expression was very calm, and he did not look like he was trying to avoid what was in front of him with his eyes closed. Instead, he looked like he was taking a nap.

For some reason, Tang Baona felt a sense of peace settle down. The noisy sounds around her seemed to disappear all at once, and she felt as if she had detached herself from the plane and was no longer falling with it.

The next instant, the plane suddenly stopped falling, pulled up its nose, and took off smoothly again.

The cockpit door was also closed, and the passenger cabin suddenly felt much safer.

Tang Baona suddenly noticed that everyone in the cabin was looking out the right-hand window, and a child was shouting something. She subconsciously turned around and looked at the window next to Zhen'er, and found that there was a little girl in a white princess dress standing on the wing of the plane!

The little girl looked to be only five or six years old, with very delicate and cute features. She was frowning and staring intently ahead, holding a small knife in her hand, as if she were guarding the wing of an airplane. Her little black leather shoes seemed to be glued to the wing.

Just as Tang Baona and the other passengers were wondering how the little girl appeared and how she could stand outside the plane at high speed, the little girl suddenly leaped towards the airflow duct at the front of the turbofan engine and collided with a bird flying at high speed, preventing the bird from entering the engine.

The passengers gasped in surprise, and Yang Zhen'er, who was leaning against the window, almost jumped up with a scream, but the seatbelt held her in place.

However, passengers soon noticed that the little girl in the white dress had reappeared on the left wing, again holding a knife, guarding the wing and engine.

The right-side engine, which was on fire, has stopped, while the left-side engine has been damaged by a bird. If the left-side engine is also severely damaged and stops or even catches fire, then the aircraft will be truly doomed.

"Mommy! Is that Supergirl coming to save us?" a little boy who had just been crying with tears and snot all over his face asked his mother loudly.

At this moment, the vast majority of passengers shared the same sentiment as the little boy.

In despair and in dire straits, any hope or miracle can be grasped at as a lifeline.

Moreover, the pretty little girl who suddenly appeared outside the plane was indeed protecting it, and the plane has now returned to a relatively stable flight state from its earlier out-of-control descent.

However, the moment Tang Baona saw the little girl, the word "Little Sprite" popped into her mind.

Before this, she had never seen what the "Little Sprite" looked like, but in her imagination, the "Little Sprite" was indeed a little girl. She even imagined what the "Little Sprite" would look like based on Little Chubby Girl.

She knew that the "Little Sprite" had always been by her side, protecting her.

However, she originally thought that even the "Little Sprite" would be powerless to help her after such a plane crash today, but now it seems that the "Little Sprite" has not abandoned her and is still trying to protect her!

Tang Baona was a little excited. She tugged at Xiang Kun's hand and asked, "Xiang Kun! Xiang Kun! Did you see it? That's the 'Little Sprite'!" Her voice came from inside the oxygen mask, muffled.

But when she turned around, she found that Xiang Kun was still sleeping with his eyes closed, without any reaction.

Tang Baona felt something was off again and looked at Yang Zhen'er next to her. She had just seen the "Little Sprite" just like Tang Baona and the others on the plane, so why was she not reacting at all now? This was not Yang the Third's behavior.

Tang Baona looked at Yang Zhen'er's face and found that she was looking at the "Little Sprite" through the left window with bright eyes. Although there were still tear stains around her eyes from crying, there was no panic or fear in her eyes now, and not even much surprise or tension.

His expression, his eyes, were as if he had heard some incredible gossip, or bought some rare collectible figure or merchandise.

Yang the Third also knows "Little Sprite"! -- Tang Baona made the judgment instantly.

The little girl outside the airplane is none other than Alice disguise.

Currently, besides the "Super-Linked Object" on Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhen'er, there are also a large number of "Super-Linked Object" in their suitcases. The passengers in the cabin and their luggage also contain many "Super-Linked Object." Even the aircraft itself has many parts that are already "Super-Linked Object."

Alice had previously deployed "Super-Linked Object" to the factories of various parts suppliers of Boeing and Airbus. Then, with the help of Nana's many world-class online hits and Alice's strong and proactive dissemination, she created a lot of "temporary Emotion-Infused Object" to forcibly create an environment for the mass automated establishment of "Super-Linked Object".

Once Alice mastered the method of connecting those parts, it became quite simple for her to connect the parts in various finished aircraft through the "Super-Linked Object" and "Emotion-Infused Object" scattered throughout airports around the world.

So even though this aircraft has been in service for many years, many of its parts have become Xiang Kun's "Super-Linked Object".

In other words, even without the large number of "Super-Linked Object" that Xiang Kun, this aircraft itself is already an aerial "Super-Link Object Matrix" capable of supporting Alice's manifestation and usage abilities.

The only regret is that there weren't enough "Super-Linked Object" deployed in the air, otherwise that "mutated giant bird" wouldn't have had the opportunity to launch this sneak attack.

While guarding the last remaining engine, Alice kept her eyes fixed on the distance, having already pinpointed the location of the "mutated giant bird."

The mutated bird had clearly noticed that the passenger plane's flight had become stable again. It saw Alice standing on the wing, and it no longer had any flocks of birds to drive towards the plane—those flocks were pre-positioned and, under its "navigation," would charge towards the plane's flight path. Moreover, to avoid being spotted by other humans in advance, it was guiding the flocks to the designated area in batches, only gathering and taking off when the target passenger plane was almost there.

It originally thought that the hundreds of birds it had gathered, charging forward at all costs, would be enough to destroy the plane, but it never expected that the plane could still fly so steadily.

Now where can it get so many birds? And even if it manages to get them here, it won't be able to get them to the right position to launch a "head-on attack." Not every bird has its flight speed and altitude.

The mutated bird was actually quite wary of Alice, after all, back in Chongyun Village, Alice had blasted several holes in its body with a pig's elbow as a hidden weapon, so it didn't get too close to the plane.

But what it didn't expect was that when it was still twenty or thirty meters away from the plane, the little girl standing on the wing suddenly disappeared, and then there was a sweet shout of "Ya-hey!" above its head, and the little girl in the white dress, holding a scalpel, descended from the sky and landed on it.

The mutated bird was unaware that Alice could manifest within the aircraft's "Super-Link Object Matrix" influence range.

She held the mutated bird's feathers in one hand and kept poking at it with a scalpel in the other.

The mutated bird tumbled and struggled, but Alice clung tightly to it. Sometimes it would be shaken off, then disappear and reappear, always managing to catch it.

However, after the mutated bird flew in the opposite direction of the plane for a few seconds, Alice and her vicious scalpel finally disappeared—it successfully left the plane's "Super-Link Object Matrix" influence range.

Alice had only captured the mutated bird for a few seconds, but it had already been stabbed more than thirty times. Although Alice and her vicious scalpel had disappeared, the wounds remained.

Fortunately, the mutated bird was incredibly resilient; even with several knives piercing its head and neck, it continued to fly with all its might. If it had stopped to rest, the wounds would have healed in no more than twenty minutes. But it dared not stop, and could only stagger away into the distance, wounded and unsteady.

In fact, if a normal commercial airliner were to be subjected to such a large-scale, concentrated, and deadly attack by a flock of birds driven by a mutated bird, and suffer such severe damage, it would basically be doomed.

Even without Alice's protection, the impact on the passenger plane would have been far more severe, and the left engine would have been destroyed, causing it to shut down completely.

With the cockpit in disarray, various electronic devices malfunctioning, all pilots injured, both engines shut down, and the fuselage and wings severely damaged, there was absolutely no possibility of a successful emergency landing.

However, the one "piloting" this Boeing 737-800 is not a pilot, but Xiang Kun.
