Chapter 378 Deterrence
Boom!
It sounded like something had blasted!
Gareth immediately grabbed Elisa’s hand and pulled her to the other side. Elisa’s eyes shook with fright, and she let him pull her along. They arrived at the cockpit soon after. The captain was in a frenzy, but he was trying to pacify the situation when he heard the commotion outside. However, no one was listening to him.
After the pinging sounds, people had already started looking out the windows!
“There’s someone! Someone’s attacking us!! They’re shooting at us!!”
“AHHHH!!” Screams and shouts started arising from the passengers.
Everyone was starting to freak out!
Some of the flight attendants had started to sob and were crying, “What do we do… Why is this happening to us? Will we survive this?”
“I’m so scared… Ahh!!!” One of the flight attendants’ cries were broadcasted to the whole plane, and it threw the passengers into even more turmoil!
Outside, three green helicopters were surrounding their plane. Many of the people in the helicopters had guns and were aiming at them.
The captain turned the microphone off and scolded the flight attendant, “Anyone can panic, but not us!”
The flight attendants were shocked into solemnness.
They were afraid to say anything, but one said in a panic, “What do we do? Should we get the passengers to jump off…?”
“No! We’re being surrounded, and they all have guns! What if we jump out? They would just shoot us dead!” The captain said angrily.
“But they’re coming closer and closer! We’ll be sitting ducks if we don’t do anything…” There was clear fright on the flight attendant’s face. She didn’t know what else they could do.
The captain also had a frightening expression, but he did not say anything.
Outside, bullets continued to rain on the plane. The assault was getting stronger, and the people in the plane were getting more frightened. Nothing the captain said would placate these people anymore!
If things continue like this, I fear the passengers will ask to jump out of the plane. But, it won’t… Elisa thought, but her thoughts were interrupted by some passengers that rushed forward.
“Quick, give us the parachutes!! I want to jump out! If this goes on, we will be shot to death!”
Everyone was in a tizzy, and the captain had no more authority.
Gareth drew his eyebrows tightly together and then went to the microphone. There was a slight change on the captain’s face; this man did not look like an ordinary man to him. He did not panic, and he was even pacifying those around him. The captain did not stop him.
Soon after, his voice was heard throughout the plane.
“Be quiet.”
Even with two words, people could feel the dominance and fierceness from the man’s deep voice. It drew the crowd into a trance, and they quietened down. Many of the passengers tried to find out where the voice was coming from, but of course, it was not coming from Gareth but from the broadcasting system.
Gareth’s indifferent voice once again rang out.
“It’s sudden, but the captain has the authority to make sure of everyone’s safety, so please trust him. Also, this plane is bulletproof, so there will be no damage to the interior. Dear passengers, please return to your seats and try not to disturb order in the plane.”
Although it was just a normal command, his magnetic voice was like an elf’s lure that hypnotized their prey. In that moment, although there was still panic around them, no one cried or shouted anymore.
