Chapter 2: Can You Speak Human Language?

[1]

Severe vibrations, followed by a long period of darkness-filled state of unconsciousness.

After that, light began to appear bit by bit and Chen Xiaolian’s consciousness seemed to be returning. However, he was only slightly conscious.

Forcing himself to open his eyes, he saw what appeared to be flashes of pictures… appearing intermittently as though they were fragments.

It seemed as though… they landed…

The cockpit’s door was opened…

The “I wish you good luck” pilot came out…

Chen Xiaolian’s mind and consciousness was still in a state of disorder and he could not maintain a clear head.

The one clear thought he had was… I, probably did not die, right?

However, he then ‘saw’ a fragment of flashing pictures that did not seem right!

The “I wish you good luck” pilot suddenly tore off the pilot uniform that he was wearing.

That was right, he tore it off!

It was as though what he tore off was not clothes, but mere paper!

That cannot be right! How could normal people have that much strength? Clothes may not seem too durable, however, have you tried to tear it off before? Could you simply tear it off as though it is mere paper?

After that…

The buzzing sound within Chen Xiaolian’s ears have yet to cease, causing him to only be able to catch part of what was being said.

The other person seemed to be shouting…

“Begin formation of teams…”

“… equipment… pathfinder…”

“… dungeon quest…”

Chen Xiaolian finally became certain of one thing, he must be dreaming!

He played too much games and now his mind was in a state of confusion, right?

Then… he thoroughly fainted, again.

“Has the team formation been completed?”

“It seems as though someone had been disconnected.”

“What is going on? Disconnected just after arrival? Were the damage values for the impact timing not properly calculated? Once we go back, we will have to go pick a fight with those people from the Development Team.”

“They were just unlucky, wasting such a precious spot in the closed beta.”

“Hmm, remember this BUG. When we return, we will let the Development Team handle it. The damage values from the time of impact and entering needs to be recalculated.”

The sounds gradually faded away…

Naturally, Chen Xiaolian was unable to hear those voices…

Waking up after a long period of time, Chen Xiaolian saw that his surroundings were a mess.

The aircraft’s interior was completely different from before, the luggage compartments were in disarray, with no small number of luggage compartment’s lid falling off and boxes having fallen out of it. The passengers’ seats were no different, many of them having being displaced.

As for Chen Xiaolian, he had at some undetermined time left his seat and was lying down on the floor. His face rested upon the cold floors of the airplane, while his body was somewhat aching.

He forcibly propped up his body.

He could also hear “pipipapa” crackling sounds. Who knew where the sparks were being emitted from.

The first thought that came to his mind was… I am not dead!

The second thought that came to his mind was… Damn!

He first inspected his whole body while the buzzing sound in his ears slowly ceased.

Hmm, my entire body is still intact and I am not suffering from a broken leg or missing arm.

This was obviously a plane crash and yet he had been… very fortunate. From an external point of view, it appeared that he was not suffering from any serious injuries. At the moment, Chen Xiaolian was temporarily not considering matters such as internal bleeding.

Truth be told, his mind was still in a state of confusion, panic and shock…

Finally, he heard a gentle sound of crying coming out from beside him.

Turning around, he first spied a pair of small and slender white legs. Only one leather shoe was worn on one of them. The other shoe seemed to have been lost?

The Korean loli sat in a corner, surrounded by fallen passenger seats. The little loli’s hair was dishevelled as she sat there, crying helplessly.

She shouted out helplessly in a soft voice: “ottoke” “ottoke”.

Chen Xiaolian who had watched no small amount of Korean variety shows was able to generally figure out that those words meant ‘what do I do’.

Chen Xiaolian tried to prop up his body, putting in great effort to stand up. He found that he was still able to exert some strength; with the exception of some sore areas and his legs feeling weak, there were no other big problems. As for his weak legs, it was probably due to the fear he was feeling.

The passenger compartment was in a broken state.

On the right hand side, a huge hole was torn off and the door of the passenger compartment had disappeared to who knows where.

Above his head, a hole was ripped out, creating a form of skylight. The ripped out metals hung down, flashing every now and again.

Chen Xiaolian’s instinct told him that something was amiss. However, he was temporarily unable to understand what exactly was amiss.

He subconsciously shouted out. “Is there anyone here?”

Well, he had in fact wanted to directly shout “help”. However, for some unknown reason, he did not.

Having said that, it was not that strange. After all, how many chances were there for a normal person to shout out the word “help”?

“Are you all right?”

Chen Xiaolian shouted out towards the little loli stuck inside the mass of passenger seats but she showed no reaction to him at all. Her eyes were filled with shock and she continued muttering in panic. “Ottoke, ottoke.”

Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath and struggled to lift away one of the passenger seats beside the little loli. He did not have much strength and had to attempt this action several times before succeeding.

“Quickly get out!” Chen Xiaolian extended his hand out to the little girl. The girl looked at him but remained motionless. Chen Xiaolian chose to simply move over and used his hand to grab her wrist, then pulled her over by force.

“Get out of here!” His words were spoken using Chinese, without consideration of whether the little loli could understand. “Get out of here, out! Go outside!”

Chen Xiaolian pulled the Korean girl out and pointed toward the torn out section of the passenger compartment.

He too tried moving outside.

“Is there anyone here? Anybody??! {ANYBODY}??!!”

Chen Xiaolian used both Chinese and English as he shouted out.

His instinct led him to start looking for crewmembers of the airplane. Unexpectedly, Chen Xiaolian found that the older of the two flight attendants, presumably the chief attendant had disappeared. As for the younger flight attendant with beautiful legs, she was still seated at her spot, with her head tilted to the side. It was unknown if she was already dead or only unconscious.

The cockpit door was… open!

From his standpoint, he was coincidentally able to observe that the cockpit was empty!

This discovery caused Chen Xiaolian’s heart to pound with anger.

The crewmembers had run off and disregarded him, a passenger?

He then moved to the back to look around. (First Class passenger compartment is at the front and Economy Class is at the back.)

His discovery there caused Chen Xiaolian’s heart to sink!

He finally realized why he felt that something was amiss!

The entire passenger compartment was… E.M.P.T.Y! Empty!

Many of the passenger seats have been turned upside down, however…

All of the passengers, all of them… were gone!

This discovery left Chen Xiaolian stunned for several seconds!

When he was boarding the airplane, he recalled that it was filled to capacity! At the very least, there should be a hundred people here, right?

But now…

Chen Xiaolian looked at himself, then looked towards the little Korean loli who only knew how to cry and shout out “ottoke”.

Oh, there was also the unconscious flight attendant with beautiful legs…

Everyone else was gone?!!

All of them gone?!

This realization caused Chen Xiaolian to be frozen on the spot as his heart felt as though it had turned cold!

This… the people have already been rescued by the relief team? And left? Nobody cared about me?!!

For a moment, he felt an impulse to let out a string of curses!

The little loli beside him suddenly screamed, waking Chen Xiaolian up from his reverie.

Screaming in fear, the little loli’s body turned soft. She held up her fingers to point at a spot on the passenger compartment.

Chen Xiaolian looked in the pointed direction and found himself becoming weak as well.

It was a… person. To be precise, it was a… corpse.

It must be one of the passengers.

He was truly unlucky. Still seated on the passenger seat, his neck was turned to the side. Judging by the extent to which his neck was twisted, his death was pretty much confirmed.

He was wearing a suit, giving off the impression that he was a businessperson.

Both his face and body were painted with blood.

However, Chen Xiaolian still worked up his courage to move toward him and check. He wanted to make sure that the man was no longer breathing.

He was still feeling uncertain as to how to deal with this. However, at this moment, something happened to the corpse that he had come in contact with. Something fell off the corpse’s hand and rolled over towards Chen Xiaolian’s feet.

This was a…

Metallic sphere.

It was round with a very smooth surface, seemingly no different from an ordinary steel marble. As for its size, it was as big as an egg.

Chen Xiaolian subconsciously picked it up with his hand and examined it, but could not identify what it was. All he felt was that it was slightly heavy.

Just as he was feeling confused, a sound came from behind.

“{Help}…”

It was in English.

Chen Xiaolian turned back and saw that the flight attendant with beautiful legs had regained consciousness. Her body had fallen off her seat, seemingly incapable of standing up. She could only extend her hand outwards and helplessly shout. “{Help}”.

Chen Xiaolian placed the metal sphere into his pocket and ran over to help the flight attendant get up. The flight attendant with beautiful legs seemed thin; however, at that moment she was too feeble to support herself. She could only lean heavily onto Chen Xiaolian, her entire weight bearing down on him. The young Chen Xiaolian felt as though he may not be able to support her weight. He forcibly dragged her outside.

“{Areyouok}?”

However, the other party seemed to be confused. She looked at Chen Xiaolian before speaking a word out immediately.

Chen Xiaolian was unable to understand, but was able to discern the pronunciation of the other party.

“Tasukete.”

It sounded like… Japanese?

In the next moment, Chen Xiaolian felt an impulse to puke out blood.

In the aircraft, only three of them remained alive!

Beside him, there was a Korean loli and a Japanese woman?

Neither of them can speak Chinese!!!


Chapter 3: We Will Not Die!

Chen Xiaolian had both the Korean loli and the Japanese flight attendant brought outside the airplane.

The little loli could still move by herself. The flight attendant on the other hand could not move even a single step. It was unknown if this was due to fear or if her legs were injured. Back when he was helping the flight attendant out of the airplane, it seemed as though her soft breasts were pressed down onto his shoulders; however, Chen Xiaolian did not give it any thought – matters of life is more important right now! Who would spare a thought to these messy thoughts!

After having moved around more than ten meters of distance away from the airplane, the three of them sat on the ground.

Only after he felt that they were all right did Chen Xiaolian returned to take a look at the airplane.

The body of the airplane was still intact, albeit barely. As for the two wings, they had disappeared. It seemed that it had been broken off.

They were currently in a forest area – judging from the vegetation here… well, truth be told, Chen Xiaolian did not know what to make of them.

He was not an experienced person in the field of wilderness survival. He could not utilize the vegetation to determine where they were and whether this place was a tropical zone or a temperate zone. He was unable to differentiate between those.

The scenery on the other hand, was enough to put any person into shock.

Behind the airplane, a long passage was created through the forest! It seemed that after the plane was forced down, it had ploughed its way through the forest, creating this long passage.

The passage was around a few hundred meters in length and the canopy of trees were either broken or flattened by the airplane.

The airplane’s landing gear was no longer there and the airplane rested on the ground. On both sides, trees were either torn off or blown away…

Chen Xiaolian had seen a lot of disaster films made in Hollywood, where the scenes were filmed using special effects. Before him however was a real scene and not some computer generated image. This reality that was put on full display before Chen Xiaolian had caused him to fall into shock for a few minutes.

It seemed that the flight attendant had begun to gradually calm down and was trying to stand up. Fortunately, her legs did not appear to be hurt. The earlier episode must have been due to fear.

The flight attendant leaned upon a tree, watching her surroundings in a helpless and terrified manner. She then started crying with a rather hoarse voice.

“{Help}!”

“Ta_su_ke_te!!”

This time he finally understood. The latter phrase of “tasukete” must be her crying for help, right?

The Korean loli just sat there and cried – considering her age, she was probably less than ten-years-old. For her to only stay seated and cry instead of fainting was probably a feat of strength for her. As for others… probably should not hope too much from her..

Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath and suddenly made the decision to run into the aircraft cabin.

The flight attendant saw him moving and shouted out some words at him, seemingly trying to stop him. However, Chen Xiaolian only waved at her while he continued moving into the aircraft cabin.

A few moments later, Chen Xiaolian emerged from the inside while carrying a box out. After that, he returned inside and carried out another box.

When the flight attendant realized what was going on, she stood there in hesitation for a moment. Finally, she bit her lips, took off her shoes and quickly followed Chen Xiaolian inside barefooted.

They moved out a portion of the food and water within the aircraft cabin.

After that, they moved out some boxes.

Chen Xiaolian retrieved a slightly thick outer sweater and draped it over the little Korean loli before personally pulling up the zipper for her.

The little loli who was sobbing stopped, she raised her head to look at Chen Xiaolian.

“Do not be scared,” Chen Xiaolian whispered. Without caring if she had understood what he said, he turned and ran into the plane again.

His mobile phone had been damaged. Thus, Chen Xiaolian spent a long time within the plane before finally finding another mobile phone. He did not know which passenger had dropped it, however, he was unable to get it to operate. It seemed that the mobile phone had also been damaged…

He angrily cast it aside.

So fragile! If he had known, he would have bought a Nokia!

Behind him, the flight attendant patted Chen Xiaolian. He turned his head around to find the other party handing out a…

Mobile phone.

“Yours?” Chen Xiaolian pointed at her.

While it was uncertain if the flight attendant understood him, she nodded her head. Chen Xiaolian became overjoyed and suddenly started laughing loudly. A feeling of surviving through disaster washed over him, causing him to become overexcited. He could not help himself as he went over and hugged the flight attendant, giving her the thumbs up.

However, a few minutes later…

A pale faced Chen Xiaolian returned the phone back to the flight attendant.

“No… signal.”

All numbers ended up giving the busy tone that signified that the call could not be made, including the Worldwide Relief number 400-888-4099.

The flight attendant panicked. She took the mobile phone and tried dialling a few numbers. After that, her face turned pale; she crouched down with both hands holding her knees and started crying bitterly.

As for Chen Xiaolian, he took a very deep breath, narrowed his eyes and surveyed his surroundings… surveying this… forest.

It was getting dark.

Three figures, one male and two females sat around a campfire.

The fire was lit using a cigarette lighter plug. Only these lighters that does not utilize flammable liquid were allowed on the plane. As for the lighter, it was retrieved from a box belonging to one of the passengers.

Using a branch, they lit the fire. After that, all three of them wrapped themselves in blankets.

For food, they had the meals from the plane. Wrapping the food with aluminium foil, they had them lightly heated upon the fire. While it was unappetizing, it was something they could fill their stomachs with. All things considered, now was not the time to pay attention to this matter.

During this time, Chen Xiaolian tried to start a conversation with the other two females.

Unfortunately, the Japanese flight attendant only knew how to speak some simple English. In addition, there was a strong Japanese accent in her English. As for her Chinese, she could probably only say the likes of “hello” and “thank you”.

Chen Xiaolian himself only had an average grasp of English. With the exception of what he had learnt in school, his other exposure to English came from his several years of watching U.S. drama. Simple conversation in English was still possible for him, but in regards to a more complex conversation, things would be hard.

As for the Korean loli…

Chen Xiaolian had been pleasantly surprised to find out that she actually understood Chinese!

However, it only extended towards understanding of Chinese. She had shown that she could somewhat understand his words. However, in the area of conversing in Chinese… she was helpless.

In the middle of the night, the depressive atmosphere became worse as it pressed down on them.

Sometime during the night, an incident occurred that caused Chen Xiaolian’s mind to become excited.

He spotted a plane flying over the skies… its light was flashing at it flew slowly through the night sky.

Naturally, he knew better than to start waving around and shout for help… Considering how far up it was, it would be weird if they could see him!

However…

A faint feeling of comfort inexplicably appeared within Chen Xiaolian’s heart.

It was probably a sense of humour unique to web writers.

There was nothing amiss with the stars and the moon in the night sky. In addition, there was also the plane that had flown by just now… At least now I can be certain that I had not transmigrated over to another world or to an ancient time.

Behind him, the little Korean loli began to cry.

Wrapping herself with the blanket, she curled her tiny body; with tears falling off her eyes, she murmured something in a soft voice.

Chen Xiaolian walked towards her and heard some of what was being said. It seemed that she was crying the words “omma”.

That made sense. For a child so young, wishing for her mother at this point in time was no surprise.

Chen Xiaolian inhaled deeply, then crouched down before patting the little loli on her head. The little loli stopped crying and turned to look at Chen Xiaolian, her big eyes fixed into a blank stare.

“Do not worry, we will be fine,” A smile was etched on Chen Xiaolian’s face. It was both warm and firm – his words were not only meant for her, but also for himself, to strengthen his own belief.

“You will not die, she will not die, and I too will not die! We will survive and return to our homes! I promise! As the only male here, I will protect you… I am still only eighteen-years-old, I will have a great life waiting for me! I have yet to even get a girlfriend! I still have many readers calling me Great God [1]! How could I end up dying in such a terrible place? Do not worry! Oppa will ensure your safety and lead you to your home!”

After saying that, Chen Xiaolian deliberately made a face in front of the little girl. He then shouted out the few Korean words he had learnt by watching Korean variety shows: “Fighting!!”

The flight attendant who was just beside seemed to have been affected by his final words. She smiled, then raised a balled up fist while facing Chen Xiaolian and shouted out. “Ganbatte!”

Well, he could at least understand that phrase.

Chen Xiaolian smiled at her, then turned to observe the dark forest. The smile on his face gradually faded as his eyes turned solemn.

… That night, the little loli and the flight attendant could not hold on and fell asleep. Only Chen Xiaolian did not sleep for the night. It was not due to a sense of responsibility, but because he simply could not fall asleep.

During the break of dawn, Chen Xiaolian woke up the two females, pulling up the Korean loli first.

“Stay here and do not go anywhere, I will go find help! Wait for me. Do not leave this place!”

After thinking about it, Chen Xiaolian used a very simple English phrase to converse with the Japanese flight attendant.

“{Stay_here. Do_not_move! I’m_looking_for_help! I_will_be_back!! Trust_me!!}”

There was naturally some error there, but he could not care about that. As long as the meaning could be understood, that would be fine.

Also… Damn it! This is not a test!

Chen Xiaolian searched for a fairly durable wooden stick to be used as a weapon. Then, he tied his shoelaces, took two bottles of mineral water and stuffed them into his pocket before walking off.
