Chapter 0231
"This event will eliminate the three teams with the lowest scores. From the looks of it, these team leaders won't be among those eliminated." "Well, that's not necessarily the case."
"How could they possibly be eliminated? If a team leader is eliminated, wouldn't that be a huge embarrassment for their airline?"
"Don't speak too soon, the situation on the field can change in the blink of an eye."
Among the pilots, some older veterans, steeped in experience, knew all too well about the deliberate ousting of competitors in such trials.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
This wasn't underhanded; defeating opponents to ensure they posed no further threat was perfectly normal.
In the air.
Charlie's heart pounded, "Madison... slow down, be careful not to hit the virtual track."
"It's fine," Madison was surprisingly calm.
She had already imprinted the course in her mind, confident in her knowledge of how to fly it. Her expertise in these specialized areas had been honed at the first flight academy, not to mention the pointers her grandfather had once shared with her.
Perhaps it was her grandfather's blessing that was with her now.
Thus, she had even less reason to let their main competitor, Air China, take the lead.
"Zheng team, that plane nearby must be Madison's, she's flying fast too," Zheng Congyu's deputy noted.
Zheng Congyu didn't bother to look around, focusing entirely on piloting the plane to avoid touching the virtual track, perspiration dotting his forehead.
"We're near the end!" his deputy exclaimed excitedly.
In the supervisory channel, two pilots typed messages.
Pilot One: Is there a chance of a leak?
Pilot Four: I'd like to know too. How come there's no need for a co-pilot?
The ground staff showed the conversation to the head of the competition.
They were immediately curious about a possible leak.
But after the head official glanced at the experience of the pilots on the two planes, he said, "No leak. Both have military flight experience; it's normal for them to know the virtual routes." Sigh.
They had wracked their brains to come up with tasks none of the pilots had experienced, yet they still couldn't avoid it.
What did this show?
A wealth of experience is incredibly valuable.
Those watching from the ground soon saw three or four planes emerge together from the clouds.
"Look, look!"
"Who's in those two lead planes?"
"Probably pilots from Air China and Mukino Airlines, right?"
Apart from these two, who else could compete?
Obviously, there was no one.
On the plane.
Charlie noticed another plane not far behind them and squinted, "Madison, we've got a plane on our tail."
"They're keeping up with us?" Madison managed to speak even while flying the intricate course.
Charlie had experienced cutthroat competition before, "I'm afraid they're not just trying to win."
A flicker of unpleasant thoughts crossed Madison's mind.
"It's Air China's craft!" Charlie clenched her teeth.
The next second, she suddenly shouted, "Madison, dodge to the right!"
Madison's reflexes were lightning fast. Before Charlie finished her sentence, she had already steered the plane to the right.
Thankfully, the flight course was complete, and all that was left was a routine landing. However, this maneuver had veered them away from the landing strip.
"We're in trouble..." Charlie gritted her teeth in frustration, "They deliberately forced us off the landing path! Zheng Congyu has already flown away!" First place was definitely out of reach now.
Madison's gaze was intense as she quickly redirected the plane towards the landing strip.
However...
One plane, two planes, three...
One after another, planes flew past them.
"Madison..."
Charlie's heart raced with panic, cursing the craft that had targeted them.
"It's too late, if we don't land now, we'll be eliminated."
Madison was acutely aware of this.
On the ground.
"What the hell? Captain Madison could have landed straight on the runway, why did she suddenly change direction?"
"Could it be that she hadn't completed the route?"
"They were close to the runway; how could the route be incomplete?"
"Did something happen?"
"It's too late, four planes have landed! Without Captain Madison among the first five, she'll be easily eliminated!"
Brian was also anxious.
What were they to do now?
Elsewhere.
"Charlie, hold tight."
At Madison's words, Charlie immediately gripped the safety handle, knowing Madison was preparing for a desperate move.

If they didn't cut through, they couldn't compete for a spot on the runway. The other planes wouldn't make way but block her path instead.
And whether this was a tactic orchestrated by Zheng Congyu, Madison couldn't say.
All she could do was give it her all to seize the runway first.
"My God..." Charlie felt as if they had spun a great circle in the air, her head nearly spinning.
The supervisor clung to the handrail for dear life.
Madison didn't blink, her pupils reflecting the growing image of the planes ahead.
"Oh my God!!"
"Unbelievable!!"
"Is she a stunt pilot?!"
"She squeezed right between two planes? But can she land at this speed?"
Of course, she couldn't.
The speed was too high for a safe landing.
So, everyone on the ground turned pale with fear as the plane, which had jostled its way through, headed straight for the end of the runway.
At the end of the runway, facing the assembly of watching pilots.
If she couldn't stop, it would be the end for them all!
However, the anticipated disaster didn't occur.

The pilots of those two planes, reacting instinctively, quickly dodged to either side.
In the blink of an eye, the scene on the field changed.
The two planes flew off to the sides, and the craft that looked to be ousted from the race landed in the opposite direction on the competition's dedicated runway.
The field fell silent for a moment.
Was such a landing even possible?
Could someone fight so hard to avoid being eliminated?
"Brilliant!!!" Henry shouted first.
His voice roused the stunned Mukino Airlines pilots, who almost all stood up, cheering and applauding for the two women in the plane!
"Beautiful!"
"Awesome!"
"True to our team leader from Mukino Airlines, she's got the guts! Haha!"
