Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 424 - 201: Another Hijacker
The gunshot, pain searing through his back, Gu Ji spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
The bullet had pierced his lung; he wasn’t going to survive.
A big fat man, wearing a bulletproof vest with gray curls and a bushy beard, angrily kicked the little minion who fired the gun, seeming to blame him for shooting recklessly, then turned to ask the yellow-haired guy with black eyeliner beside him.
A moment later, the yellow-haired guy squatted down in front of him and asked in English:
"The boss wants to know where you got that anti-personnel mine?"
"Cough... cough..."
Gu Ji opened his mouth, but his throat was full of bloody heat. He tried to swallow, looked at the circle of drug dealers standing in front of him, bared his teeth to reveal his bloody gums, "From your mother’s swallow..."
Bam bam bam!
...
...
"Hello, sir, we’ve prepared 7 Up, cola, orange juice, tomato juice, coffee, tea, and water for you. What would you like to drink?"
"Sir?"
"Hoo... ha... hoo... ha..."
Gu Ji suddenly opened his eyes, instinctively reached for his back, but the smooth texture of his shirt told him, "I’ve died and restarted again!"
Even though his body had returned to the initial state of the stage, the sensation of the searing pain from the high-temperature blast wave continued to gnaw at his nerves, causing the muscles in his neck to shudder instinctively.
"Hey, sir, the flight attendant is calling you!"
Beside him, the middle-aged lady with sunglasses nudged him with her elbow again.
The blonde flight attendant saw Gu Ji’s forehead covered in sweat and leaned down quickly to express her concern:
"Sir, are you alright? I see your forehead is sweating a lot. Are you feeling unwell?"
"I, I’m fine."
Gu Ji took a deep breath, calming his mindset, then swiftly raised his wrist to set a 16-minute countdown on his smartwatch again.
He glanced at the crimson countdown at the upper right corner of his vision, only 39 hours left.
This time seemed quite ample.
However, having just experienced the second round of tasks, he knew very well that the emergency landing of the plane was only the beginning. Up next, he had to face finding support, dealing with a plane hijacking by a drug trafficking group, waiting for Mexican military and police to arrive, negotiating or engaging in a shootout with drug dealers, and potentially other tasks down the line.
In any case, every stage is counted in hours.
It’s fair to say, all things considered.
He had two more chances.
If the later tasks dragged on, he might only have this one chance left!
[Limited by physiological conditions...]
"The enemy personnel and firepower far exceed ours, and there are very few on the flight who can shoot. The air marshals have died on both rounds due to the plane’s loss of control. The only way to counter the drug traffickers is to wait for official support..."
As the game text floated before him, Gu Ji silently conducted a tactical evaluation in his mind.
But no matter how he allocated his tactics, he couldn’t gain the ability to confront the drug dealers immediately after the plane crashed unless he could alter the crash outcome by moving as far as possible from the Sinaloa Drug Cartel’s territory, potentially achieving a "flawless pass."
Yet, to accomplish this according to the progression of the second round plot.
There were two main challenges before Gu Ji:
1. Who is the other hidden accomplice hijacker among the cabin passengers?
This person is critical, not only carrying a microwave device capable of destroying radio equipment but possibly hiding other deadly weapons, and ready to seize any opportunity to contact the drug cartel. Without addressing this, it remains a massive hidden danger;
What’s more terrifying is how deeply this person is concealed;
Regardless of whether the sunglasses man died, Gu Ji suggested going out for communication support, or the final drug dealer assault on passengers, he never exposed himself, unafraid of being accidentally shot by any drug dealer?
2. No matter how much Gu Ji refreshes the game rewards, he can’t match the skills of a real pilot.
Therefore, if he could prevent the pilot’s death in advance, perhaps he could come up with better ways to land the plane safely and smoothly at a nearby airport.
But how to stop the pilot from being killed?
Honestly speaking.
Even now, Gu Ji couldn’t figure out why the drug gang wanted to kill the pilot. Was the pilot a retired air force special ops pilot? Afraid he’d thwart the hijacking?
He shook his head, denying this.
The pilot had already agreed to the drug dealers’ demands, so there was no reason, no position to kill him.
Moreover, according to the first round of plot, Gu Ji remembered that during the plane’s diving descent, the sunglasses man’s behavior was frantic, indicating he likely didn’t know the pilot was killed.
Could it be someone else who killed the pilot? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Gu Ji furrowed his brows, carefully recalling every detail from the second round’s cockpit.
The pilot’s body bore no scars, only nose and mouth bleeding, with blood splattered on the central control panel of the airplane, resembling symptoms of hemolytic poison death.
The common culprits are various snake venoms, like American pit vipers or African tree snakes; however, snake venom is essentially protein, which needs to enter the bloodstream to be effective, quite limiting. Additionally, there’s cyanide frequently seen on screen, and the perfect assassination weapon: ricin, among others.
So the method of killing the pilot...
Suddenly, the image of food scattered all over the cabin flooded Gu Ji’s mind.
Food poisoning!!
"F**k! Are you blind? This suit is expensive!"
[The crisis begins!]
[Please choose your initial reward!]
[Language Specialization (Medium)] or [Strength Enhancement (Small)]
As the story unfolded, Gu Ji hurriedly unfastened the seatbelt, stood up, and quickly chose the first reward.
