c1276: 1279: Plot Devices in Novels (Part 2) (2)

At night, the four of them, essentially like a family, embarked on their journey to Xinjiang.

Of course, tickets were actually scarce, but they bought first-class ones, which were available.

For such distances, first-class is notably expensive.

Not ordinary people can afford it.

Since tickets for four people were nearly fifty thousand.

Can this group bear the cost?

Evidently, it’s difficult.

And going there, ordinary people mostly dominated.

First, they drove to Shanghai, then flew directly from there.

When the plane took off, it was already two in the morning.

Two flight attendants, with Xinjiang features, served some drinks and water to the four, letting them choose.

Of course, fruits, snacks, etc., were available.

For Lin Xi, those weren’t important.

The key was the skin of those two distinctive flight attendants was amazingly good.

As for their looks, not bad.

Age seemed to be about twenty-something.

Most importantly, the ethnic charm left him somewhat involuntarily attracted.

Undeniably, compared to the three women, there’s still a big gap.

Yet a saying goes!

A man who hasn’t tasted various flavors, no matter how bright his journey seems, it’s considerably dimmed.

Alright, he stopped watching temporarily.

He already felt Bai Bing’s icy gaze at his side.

If Bai Bing alone were present, he wouldn’t be too concerned.

Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao, yes, he had to maintain some image.

The flight would be quite long.

When buying the ticket earlier, it showed over six hours.

However, it’s good; arrived at the airport, it’s past eight.

Then they can drop off their luggage at the hotel and go out to play.

As for resting, they can do it on the plane.

First-class is relatively comfortable.

But still, can’t compare to a bed.

However, among them, the weakest is top-tier special forces level.

For such strength personnel, almost three days and nights without sleep barely matters.

Thus, no need to worry about stamina.

Note how late it is, yet Mengmeng and Qiaoqiao show no mood to sleep.

On the other side, they gleefully watched dramas.

Bai Bing beside Lin Xi, head turned toward the window, lost in thoughts.

Evidently, she hadn’t slept either.

Alright!

Lin Xi closed his eyes.

Well, it wasn’t sleep.

Rather, he had already entered the Jade Pendant for his nightly training.

Regarding safety on the plane, he had no concerns at all.

With Mengmeng there, nothing dangerous would happen.

After all, Mengmeng’s realm faintly exceeds his.

If he doesn’t strive hard, he might truly be surpassed.

So, he never missed a night.

While the four immersed themselves in their own worlds.

In the plane’s cabin, some men with big beards, seemingly kind-faced, dressed almost alike, tightly wrapped.

Not sitting together, but scattered.

Between almost every pair, were several rows.

If someone counted, they’d find six in total.

After take-off, about an hour later, everyone gradually dozed off.

Within a minute, the six, whose eyes were closed, opened them almost in succession.

Another notable trait.

They all sat in aisle rows.

Six men discreetly exchanged a glance, their eyes hinting a mutual confirmation.

For all this, a small portion still awake showed no concern.

This group majorly sported headsets, absorbed in phones watching dramas etc.

Or, even if spotted, they paid no attention.

Domestically, such unsafe conditions seen abroad rarely occur.

Plane incidents are even rarer.

Many data suggest, plane safety significantly surpasses any land transport mode.

Then about ten minutes later.

The six seemed finally ready, standing almost simultaneously.

With one hand placed at their waist.

That move, closely resembling a gun draw from a movie scene.

At the back row, a young guy was neither asleep, nor watching dramas, nor wearing any headset.

Holding a tablet, watching novels.

Thus, when he was about to charge it, he witnessed this scene.

Immediately, his face turned ghostly pale, his mind flashing to a novel scene: "Hijacking?"
