Long ago, when Xiang Kun was just able to enter the "Hyper-Sensory State," he began to try to analyze the changes in cognitive information when various electronic devices on the plane were operating while he was on a flight. He had even considered using "Super-Linked Object" to control the plane, or even to connect with the plane.

He even went so far as to research various aircraft-related materials, especially the Boeing 737-800, a model he frequently flew on, and gained a great deal of knowledge about it.

Of course, the idea of controlling an airplane has always remained just a concept, more of an interest and ideas derived from that interest. But after all, an airplane is a large means of transportation, and if it is affected, it will affect the safety of many people's lives, so he had never conducted any actual experiments before.

However, at this stage, Xiang Kun's ability to analyze extrasensory information is getting stronger and stronger, and the influence of the "Super-Sensing Item System" is also growing. Most of the parts of the aircraft itself have established "Super-Sensory Link," and with Alice providing comprehensive and intelligent assistance, Xiang Kun was able to instantly take control of the aircraft even without prior testing.

Aircraft contain many sophisticated instruments, and stable flight requires the coordinated operation of all components. If the cockpit is attacked, the pilot is injured, some of the instruments in the cockpit are damaged, one engine stops, another engine malfunctions, and there is minor damage to the fuselage and wings, it would be extremely difficult to maintain flight attitude under manual control.

However, with Alice's assistance, Xiang Kun now directly controls the various components inside the aircraft. If the flight computer can still control it, he uses the computer; if the electronic equipment malfunctions, he directly uses the "Super-Linked Object" to act on specific components, aiming for stable flight, and lets Alice help him coordinate and control.

Normally, if there is one working engine and the other landing gear and other equipment are also in good working order, this type of twin-engine passenger plane should have no problem landing.

However, the only remaining engine also has problems, with too many damaged parts. As time goes on, the problems become more and more serious, making it difficult to maintain sufficient power.

Xiang Kun knew he only had one chance to land the plane.

To ensure everything goes perfectly, he also needed to provide the aircraft with more power sources.

When the passenger plane was first attacked by a flock of birds, the airport tower was already aware that there was a problem with the plane. Although communication could not be restored, when the plane went out of control and plummeted rapidly, many netizens nearby had already taken pictures of the plane's condition. The damaged and smoking right engine could be seen. These pictures and videos have been posted online, and the airport was already aware of the plane's situation and had made the worst-case scenario plan.

While continuously contacting passenger planes, the airport has suspended all flight takeoffs and landings, cleared the airspace and several runways, and has deployed fire and rescue personnel.

City leaders were informed immediately and began allocating resources and manpower to prepare for subsequent rescue efforts and handling of any potential accidents.

According to experienced airport personnel, the situation of the passenger plane was not optimistic. It was not only the damage to the aircraft itself, but more importantly, the damage to the cockpit, which put the pilots in extremely poor operating conditions. The pilots' physical condition was also unknown. If communication could not be restored, the possibility of the passenger plane landing safely was very small.

The only thing that gave them any hope was that the plane had temporarily regained a stable flight attitude and, judging from the trend, seemed to be preparing for an approach. This proved that although the pilots could not communicate with the airport, they had still maintained control of the aircraft.

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the passenger plane that had flown in from Peng City, the sky above the airport, which had been sunny and clear just moments before, suddenly became overcast in a very short time, and a strong wind picked up, as if a storm was about to break.

"What the hell is this weather?!"

Why now of all times!

"Damn it, God!"

Inside the command center, a chorus of curses erupted. Now, any unfavorable factor could lead to terrible consequences. They had been relieved that the weather was good and visibility was excellent at this time, but unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the situation suddenly changed.

But the passenger plane had already lowered its landing gear and begun its approach phase, attempting to align with the runway. All they could do now was pray.

"Oh no, the descent rate is too high, and the attitude is wrong..." An airport staff member couldn't help but turn around. Based on his more than ten years of experience, a landing with this descent rate and this attitude was definitely going to be a disaster.

But shortly after he turned his head, he suddenly heard a loud shout from the side, "Well done!"

Then cheers erupted throughout the command center. He couldn't help but turn around and look at the airport runway. The battered passenger plane had landed smoothly on the ground and entered the taxiing phase.

Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable! The staff member couldn't help but clench his fist and cheer for the flight crew.

After the plane landed smoothly, fire trucks and ambulances that had been waiting for a long time rushed over immediately.

After passengers disembarked via an automatically inflating slide under the crew's guidance, emergency medical personnel boarded the aircraft and brought the three pilots, who had sustained different injuries, off the plane.

However, both medical staff and airport personnel, as well as the leaders who rushed over, were somewhat surprised to find that the three pilots did not appear to be able to land the plane smoothly under such circumstances. Moreover, the various equipment in the cockpit was severely damaged, with most instruments covered in bird remains, blood, and internal organs, and many instruments were malfunctioning.

The arriving leader couldn't help but ask the least injured and still relatively conscious pilot, "Who controlled the plane to land?"

But the answer he received was equally perplexing; he said it seemed the plane had "landed on its own."

As a little boy was being examined by paramedics next to an ambulance beside the plane, he shouted, "Supergirl saved us!"

Then the other passengers also started discussing the little girl in the white dress who appeared on the wing when the plane was struck by a flock of birds.

For them, this was a true "miracle".

Unfortunately, some people instinctively tried to take out their phones to take pictures, but found that their phones seemed to be malfunctioning and couldn't be turned on, so no one managed to capture the little girl's appearance.

However, since the passengers were unaware of the situation in the cockpit, they naturally assumed that the little girl was protecting the plane from bird attacks, but the pilot was responsible for ensuring a safe landing.

Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, Yang Zhen'er were also undergoing examinations by medical staff.

They all appeared to be in good condition, uninjured, or rather, almost all the passengers were fine, except for those who were quite frightened by fragments of bird carcasses that had flown in when the cockpit door opened automatically earlier, and who needed to be taken to the hospital for further examination.

In the past, even simple checks like blood pressure and temperature would have easily revealed abnormalities in Xiang Kun. But now, with Alice's assistance, the readings from these devices are all within her control, so the medical staff conducting the checks naturally can't find any problems.

After finishing the test, he stood aside waiting for Nana and Yang the Third, holding his phone to his lips without unlocking it, and whispered, "Alice, find a way to track the bird's location."

"Okay!" Alice's voice came through the phone speaker very softly. Even if there were people next to Xiang Kun, they wouldn't be able to hear it at all, let alone the person closest to him who was at least five meters away.

Xiang Kun asked again in a low voice, "Can we find it?"

"No problem. If it doesn't show up, fine. But if it does, this area is all our territory now, it has nowhere to run. I'm sure I can find it. No problem, boss! Don't worry! Do you want me to deal with it directly, boss?" Alice said through gritted teeth towards the end.

Xiang Kun said, "No, just locate it, I'll handle it."

"Boss, it probably can't do it by itself..." Alice added.

"I know." Xiang Kun nodded without saying anything more. Alice didn't ask any further questions either, instantly understanding what Xiang Kun meant.

Xiang Kun had fought the "mutated bird" quite a few times and had a basic understanding of its mutation plan. Alice had even created a basic mutation model for it. According to their assessment, the "mutated bird," following a normal mutation progression, was unlikely to be able to Xiang Kun's flight in advance without his knowledge, and launch such an extremely effective surprise attack along the plane's flight path.

Moreover, according to Xiang Kun's previous analysis, after Purple Huan Mountain was almost electrocuted to ashes by him, this big bird was extremely afraid of him. Even if it could sense him from a great distance, it would most likely run away and was unlikely to attack him on its own initiative.

There is a strong possibility that the behavior of this "mutated bird" is being guided by an "Ultimate Predator." However, the method of this guidance remains unknown.

Currently, Xiang Kun's "Super-Linked Object" are ubiquitous in almost all cities and human settlements across the country. In Haixi Province, whether in cities or forests, they are covered by his "Super-Linked Object" or "Little Radish's " "subplants," leaving no room for any "Mutated Creature" to hide or lurk.

The fact that Alice didn't discover the "mutant bird" beforehand and instead chose to ambush it in the air suggests that if the "Ultimate Predator" was guiding it from behind, it should have already discovered the existence of the "Super-Linked Object," thus prompting the "mutant bird" to launch a surprise attack from the air.

This behavior made Xiang Kun keenly aware of the "Ultimate Predator's" impatience and timidity.

On one hand, since it can detect the existence of "Super-Linked Object," it should also know the terrifying rate of increase and coverage of "Super-Linked Object." It may realize that the existence of "Super-Linked Object" could threaten it. However, it probably has no way to stop Xiang Kun and Alice from connecting with "Super-Linked Object," and it might not even dare to stop them, for fear that Xiang Kun will catch it by the tail and follow the clues.

On the other hand, this creature dared not act on its own, nor did it dare to use its special extrasensory information, which still exists in most creatures, to directly threaten Xiang Kun. It could only use this method, which involved several layers of intermediaries, to launch a sneak attack through other "Mutated Creature." Perhaps it believed that even if it couldn't kill Xiang Kun this way, Xiang Kun wouldn't know that it was it.

It naturally had no idea that Xiang Kun and Alice, without any evidence, had instinctively linked it to the behavior of the "mutant bird" through logical reasoning.

Once they find the "mutated giant bird," their judgment will soon be verified.

"Boss, should we guide the public's perception of Mr. Liang?" Alice asked again.

With such a major incident and so many witnesses on the plane, it's impossible to completely suppress the news, especially for a company like "Shenxing Technology".

However, given Alice's abilities, it would be very easy for her to modify existing information and mislead the investigators.

Just like the information in the plane's black box, the pictures and videos taken by netizens, and even the videos of the plane's landing process captured by various recording devices at the airport, she has the means to tamper with them and arrange and produce them in the way she wants.

Xiang Kun thought for a moment and then said, "Provide appropriate guidance to get Mr. Liang to come to Chongyun Village."

"Understood!" Alice replied happily.

From Xiang Kun's answer, she knew that the boss was about to make a big splash. As the most capable, competent, and loyal assistant, she had accumulated so much experience and it was finally time for her to shine.

After the checks and registration, Xiang Kun, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhen'er declined media interviews and, as arranged by airport staff, went through a special channel to meet the people who were picking them up.

Tang Baona watched Yang Zhen'er hurrying towards the exit and couldn't help but whisper to Xiang Kun beside her, "Xiang Kun, something's not right with Yang the Third."

"Oh?"

"Remember that little girl who appeared on the wing on the plane? Oh right, you were sleeping then, Xiang Kun, were you really sleeping? Anyway, let's talk about that later. Anyway, Yang the Third acted a bit strange after seeing that little girl; it seemed like she recognized her." Tang Baona said with a slight frown.

In fact, she had asked Yang Zhen'er right after getting off the plane. But Yang Zhen'er just chuckled and gave her a smug look, as if she knew something but had to keep it a secret. She didn't seem like someone who had just escaped death, and it was as if she had forgotten her embarrassing moment when the plane had malfunctioned.

"It's normal for Yang the Third to have all sorts of wild ideas," Xiang Kun said with a smile.

"This time I feel something's different..." Tang Baona said softly, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to tell Xiang Kun that she thought the little girl was a "Little Sprite".

Upon reaching the exit, Yang Zhen'er immediately rushed over and hugged Lao Xia, who had come to pick her up.

"Thank you, Lao Xia," Yang Zhen'er whispered in her cousin's ear.

Xia Libing looked at her in surprise. "Why are you thanking me?"

Yang Zhen'er smiled mysteriously and said, "I know everything."
