Code 521

  Fuan Bang's eyebrows were furrowed as he gave Zuo Dong a bitter melon face, saying: "The plane's landing gear can't be lowered, it can't land."

  Zuo Dong had already sensed that something was amiss, but he hadn't expected the problem to be so severe. This old bird was always flying in the sky, and sooner or later it would fall down. He thought for a moment, fortunately, below him were soft sand dunes, if he made an emergency landing, there was still a chance of survival. However, this was his last resort, and he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

  Since Zuo Dong has already thought of a backup plan for himself, it seems that he also came up with the best plan.

  "Captain, this plane has several rear landing gears. Can't they all be put down?" Zuo Dong asked with a seemingly innocent tone.

  For large aircraft like this one, there are definitely more than one landing gear, some even have four or six, or even more.

  "The indicator shows that among the four landing gears, only one has not been normally lowered." Captain Song Li said after taking a look at the instrument panel.

  Things have not yet deteriorated to an irretrievable situation. Zuo Dong asked again, "Can the three landing gears guarantee a safe landing?"

  "Of course not, actually the four landing gears at the back have two on either side of the wings and two in the rear belly, this one that didn't normally come down is one of the ones in the rear belly, when landing it's these two rear landing gears in the rear belly that touch down first, now there's only one left, this plane is like a cripple. If it lands, it may very likely cause the plane to flip over." Captain Song Li explained.

  Anyway, in the end, they can make an emergency landing on this vast desert. For Zuo Dong, it seems like there's no more worries, so he volunteered: "How can we get to the landing gear? I'll go take a look."

  Zuo Dong had also seen action movies, generally what's the problem with airplane wheels, didn't someone have to take a look, in the end at the critical moment, finally one hammer strike fixed the landing gear, he was ready to try this time too.

  "What a joke! You're going to fix airplanes, you can't even fix cars!" Fu Anbang was anxious and furious, what's wrong with him, Zuo Dong is still joking around!

  "Boss, I'm not joking, there's something wrong with the rear landing gear, it can't be checked out here, we have to go and take a look on the spot."

  Zuo Dong said it very lightly, without realizing the danger of entering the bottom of the cabin.

  Fu Anbang did not agree to Zuo Dong's request, letting him return to the cabin and not make trouble here. However, Captain Song Li thought that Zuo Dong's idea was feasible, and after going to check the landing gear on site, if he was more careful, there should be no problem.

  "Anbang, what Zuo Dong said isn't entirely unreasonable. Given the current situation, let him take a look. Otherwise, we might be forced to make an emergency landing in this desert," Song Li said, hoping Anbang would change his mind.

  Fu Anbang is being protected by Zuo Dong, who doesn't let him have his own thoughts. Who knows what unforeseen circumstances might arise there? If something happens, it would be difficult for these people to rescue them.

  This is his own powerful general, if there's any accident, that's it, and no one will be able to complete the tasks in the future.

  The eager Left Dong saw that everyone was speaking for themselves, so he took the opportunity to say: "Boss, don't worry, I'm a lucky person and this time should be no exception. Let me go take a look, if it doesn't work out, I'll come back, and I guarantee I won't do anything beyond my ability."

  Fu Anbang, who was initially very determined, has begun to waver.

  "Anbang, you have to make a decision quickly, we don't have much time left and the plane is almost out of fuel." Captain Song Li further provoked Fu Anbang, making him agree with his and Zuo Dong's approach in this chaotic situation. In fact, the plane could still fly for another two hours without any problem, and there was still sufficient fuel.

  Fuhan Bang was indecisive, holding his chin with one hand and weighing the pros and cons, completely unaware that his thoughts had already been influenced by Zuo Dong and Song Li.

  Finally, Fu Anbang compromised and waved his hand at Zuo Dong, saying: "You go, be careful, do what you can, if it doesn't work out, hurry back, not being able to fix the plane isn't anything shameful." His last sentence sounded somewhat ridiculous.

  "Alright, Left Dong, you go ahead. The flight attendants will show you how to get into the cabin where the rear landing gear is located," Captain Song Li said.

  With a confident smile, Zuo Dong nodded slightly towards Fu Anbang and quickly exited the cockpit. He turned around and summoned the beautiful flight attendant who was already buckled up not far away.

  The flight attendant saw it, pointed to himself with his hand, and was unsure if Zuo Dong was calling him. Zuo Dong waved his hand at the flight attendant again, who only unbuckled his seatbelt after confirming, thinking there was an emergency, and ran over to Zuo Dong.

  "Our tail landing gear has a problem, the captain said you know how to get into the tail landing gear, can you lead me there." Zuodong said very seriously, wanting to let the flight attendants know the importance of the matter.

  The flight attendant still didn't know what was going on, but looking at Zuo Dong's serious expression, she nodded and took him to the place where she had prepared food for the passengers.

  This place is very cramped, three people standing together will feel crowded, fortunately there are only two people here, Zuo Dong and Kong Cheng.

  The flight attendant kindly gestured for Zuo Dong to take a step back, and Zuo Dong obediently took a step back, making room for the flight attendant. She elegantly squatted down on the floor, lifting up the red carpet that was spread out on the ground. A handle inlaid in the floorboard appeared before Zuo Dong's eyes.

  She leaned over and pulled the handle, trying to pull it up. Perhaps due to her posture, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't exert enough force, so she let go of the handle and stepped aside. After she left, Zuo Dong bent down, hooked his finger around the handle, and effortlessly lifted up the entire floorboard attached to it.

  A one-meter-square entrance appeared in front of Zuo Dong, who looked down and saw the bottom connected by a ladder, but couldn't see the elevator. He pointed to the entrance and said, "Can we find the elevator by going down from here?"

  The flight attendant hesitated and said, "It should be, that's what the plane's manual says," because she herself had never been down there before and was completely unaware of the situation below.

  Airplane manual? When you buy a car, the manual they give you is thicker than a dictionary. This airplane manual must be even thicker than an encyclopedia.

  Zuo Dong hesitated for a moment, then climbed in along the ladder. He walked step by step down the ladder, with nothing around him, and the sense of spatial confinement made Zuo Dong feel suffocated.

  He went all the way down and looked around, but there was no other entrance, it seemed like a dead end. He shouted upwards: "There's nowhere to go from here!"

  The flight attendant crouched on the ground, looking down to the left, and when he heard his question, he said: "That, you take a look down again, there should be a latch on the wall, that should be a door."

  The space here is very narrow, and the left east can't bend down at all, it can only lower its head, use its hands to feel around on the wall, after feeling for a long time, it finally found a latch, pulled it out, and then pushed hard, a door that had already merged with the wall opened outward. You can feel the airflow.

  Zuo Dong couldn't bend down to look outside from the small door, so he had to stretch his legs out first and then slowly move his body through the small door. However, after he moved his body out of the door, his feet didn't touch the ground, which made Zuo Dong feel uneasy and unable to see how far away the ground was below him.

  He gradually slowed down his pace as he reached out towards the door, tightly grasping the wall with both hands, lest he accidentally fell off.

  "Hey, stop!"

  Even with his utmost care, he still couldn't steady himself. When two-thirds of his body had slipped out the small door, his hand suddenly went limp and he disappeared from view like a piece of trash thrown into a sewer.

  Although this made Zuo Dong break out in a cold sweat, he didn't suffer any injuries and stood up on the ground. He turned his head back to look at that small door which was just 30 centimeters above his head, and couldn't help but raise his middle finger and curse silently: "Damn it, scared me half to death."

  The whistling wind behind him seemed to remind him not to waste his time on contempt.

  The scene in front of him was both exciting and terrifying, several black rubber tires as tall as a person stood before him, with a somewhat majestic flavor. These few wheels only occupied half the space, while the other half was taken up by the landing gear that had already been retracted into the belly of the plane.

  Although the cargo hatch on the belly of the plane had been opened for this lift, it did not come down quietly, but stood still and stiff, with only the strong wind blowing into the cabin from outside.

  Zuo Dong smiled as he looked at these massive objects, and glanced around. He saw a huge wrench hanging on the wall, which was over a meter long. Judging from its jaw opening, it should be able to tighten a nut with a diameter of 50 centimeters.

  Took a step forward to the east, took down the large wrench from the wall with a treasured look. At first, it felt comfortable in his hand, just like Sun Wukong holding the Dinghai Divine Needle, but slowly he felt a bit strenuous, this wrench was really not light.

  He muttered to himself, "Is this the tool for repairing the rear landing gear?" He shouldered the large wrench and walked a few steps to the rear landing gear, which was still suspended in mid-air.

  Zuo Dong, carrying a wrench, didn't look like an aircraft mechanic at all, but rather like a little demon carrying a large flag to patrol the mountains. Through the gap in the landing gear, he could see the desert below. At this time, the plane was flying very low, as if ready to make an emergency landing at any moment.

  All he could see clearly were a few black airplane wheels, nothing else was visible, it seemed that he could only climb up to the wheel to take a look.

  A small problem was in front of Zuo Dong, which was this wrench. It couldn't be fixed on its own back, and if it was placed here and climbed up, it couldn't get the wrench again. The wrench was so heavy that it couldn't even be thrown onto the tire.

  Rubbing his forehead and thinking for a moment, Zuo Dong decided to climb up alone first to see what the situation was.
