[192, Paradise Island]
Of course you have to hurry up.
Even if the handsome middle-aged man in charge is an educated and principled terrorist, the purpose is still the most important. Once their purpose is not achieved, is it possible to send everyone to Hong Kong? From what we see now, the island
There seems to be only one group of soldiers on the ground. It is not difficult to guess the outcome of these hundreds of people——
If necessary, the men may stay as coolies, while the women may be used to comfort the soldiers. Those who cannot work as coolies and cannot be comfort women will naturally not stay and waste food.
This is something that not only Levi's and Ye Tan can imagine, but also other people. It's just that most people still face it with a more optimistic attitude, and don't want to let themselves fall into despair just after arriving on this island.
, still looking forward to someone coming to rescue everyone.
I ran along that road and walked out of a valley. On the slope near the valley entrance, there were a group of bamboo houses built. There were many soldiers with guns guarding the area.
This desert island in the Pacific Ocean, aside from my nervousness, the scenery is pretty good, especially the environment is very good. Except for the pollution caused by the plane just now, there is almost no modern urban atmosphere, and the air quality has improved by more than one level.
You can also see from here that there is a road leading to the seaside in front, which is a white sandy beach. If it were changed to another situation - if everyone is here for vacation, I believe that more than 95% of people will enjoy it very much.
The feeling of nature, playing on the beach, swimming in the unpolluted sea water, coming back to live in a bamboo house, it would be better if someone takes care of your food and daily life...
Now, except for Levi's who has no consciousness of being a hostage and thinks about these things, almost no one feels this way.
When we arrived at the open space in front of the bamboo house, there was a person who looked like a captain. He arranged for everyone to line up again. Then someone started counting the information of the hostages from the front, one by one. After the counting was completed, they could carry their luggage and go to their designated location.
They rested in bamboo huts, which seemed to be temporary residences specially built for their arrival.**
"It seems... this is not their stronghold." Ye Tan looked indifferently into the distance and whispered.
"Of course." Levis was noncommittal, which was expected of him. "This place is somewhere in the Pacific. Let alone building a bamboo raft, even with a boat, we can't return to land. The only thing that can leave is the plane.
Not to mention that there must be someone guarding the plane. Even if the plane can be captured and someone knows how to fly it, there may not be enough fuel to fly to land."
"So, even if they are unguarded, they are not afraid of anyone escaping." Qin Yao, who was originally in front, actually moved her seat at this time and inserted herself between the two of them.
"Of course, there is no need to guard these unarmed hostages. They can just throw them casually on the beach. Their stronghold should have tools to communicate with the outside world, and they should have their own planes or ships. It is impossible for every visit to be a hijacking.
.There should also be oil depots.”
As Levis spoke, his eyes casually glanced at the mountains and forests on the island. Judging from the aerial observation of the plane circling before landing, this island is not big, but it has an area of hundreds of square kilometers.
He also noticed a problem. After getting off the plane, everyone walked all the way here and did not see the crew again. Even the flight attendants were not with the passengers.
The registration process was not slow. Faced with the terrorists who looked like field soldiers with automatic firearms and expressionless faces, the passengers all obediently reported all their information for fear of being killed. After registering all the information
, they all entered according to the designated bamboo house.
There are more than 300 passengers and hostages, but there are only a dozen bamboo huts. This means that everyone will not have the enjoyment of vacation. More than 20 people must share a room.==In normal times, for these passengers taking international flights
It is a bit uncomfortable for us, but when we don’t know whether our lives can be saved, no one will complain.
Soon it was their turn. After Zhou Yufu hesitated, he still told his real name and identity. As expected, his identity attracted a little attention and he was listed separately together with several other foreigners.
.I didn’t live with everyone. They were all hostages. There was still a difference between ordinary people, wealthy businessmen and government officials.
Zhou Yufu had his own concerns. Levis, Ye Tan, and Qin Yao did not speak so honestly. They did not say that they were bodyguards, but only said that they were the staff accompanying Director Zhou. The foreign soldiers in charge of registration did not pay much attention to them and arranged
They went to one of the bamboo huts.
As they walked in, Levi could understand why Qin Yao, who had not spoken much to Ye Tan, had conflicts with him, and was embarrassed before landing, came between the two of them. Because she had to live with many strangers.
Together, relatively speaking, Levi's and Ye Tan are her colleagues, the two closest to her. And both of them are capable and skilled people. If they work together, they will naturally feel a little more secure and a little more
Assure.
The bamboo house is very crudely built, and the inside is also very simple. It is all made of floor bunks, that is, it is covered with hay. The whole room is divided into two halves, and one side can sleep a dozen people on the bunk.
When they came in, there were not many people in the room, so Qin Yao immediately found a corner to throw down her things. There was really no way to live with many people, and she also hoped that there would be no one on the other side.
Levi's and Ye Tan looked at the environment inside, looking at the height, structure, arrangement of the bamboo house, and the passengers inside. Neither of them were picky about where they would stay temporarily, but Qin Yao had already chosen
They are still together. === For the time being, they are still a protection group, and they still support each other when they are in trouble together.
Ye Tan dropped his luggage first and kept a distance from Qin Yao. Levi had to be between the two of them.
The caution against strangers just now allowed Qin Yao to bite the bullet and stay with the two of them, but now that the arrangements have been made, she is still very embarrassed that Levi is next to her. Although Levi does not approach her, she still instinctively shrinks towards the bamboo wall.
Shrunk.
They looked at others, and others were looking at them. They were not familiar with them before, and those who had come in were not the group traveling with them. Those wealthy businessmen were arranged in a separate bamboo hut. These were all ordinary class passengers, and they were all
Foreigners were also wary of the three Chinese people.
But after they sat down quietly, the others resumed whispering with their familiar companions.
"Ye Tan. What should I do, Director Zhou?" Qin Yao also asked in a low voice, asking Ye Tan away from Levi's.
"Director Zhou will be fine for the time being." Ye Tan shook his head. Zhou Yufu's identity was more important. Generally speaking, even if he wanted to kill, he would kill the unimportant ones first.
"We must take care of ourselves first." Levis said calmly: "Only when we are fine can we have a chance to save Director Zhou."
Qin Yao pursed her lips but didn't say anything. Levi's personally said that he was not a superman and there was nothing he could do about it.
After waiting for a while, people came into the bamboo house one after another, including Hong Kong people and foreigners. Everyone was wary of each other and just found a place to sit down and talk quietly with their acquaintances, and then looked at others.
Qin Yao's attention fell on a quilt on the hay on the ground. It was a thin quilt, and it was not new, which made her frown slightly. Girls are more clean, unless the situation is special. ^^
She really wanted to throw this thing away. Now she couldn't buy supplies even if she had money. On this island, it was already feeling cool in the morning. It might be better at noon, but it would definitely be colder at night.
"The plane lost contact?...This guy is really unlucky. It has nothing to do with him, right? It's just a coincidence?"
Watching the news, Phoenix smiled bitterly and said to herself. Although she was not with Levi, she was still very concerned about the news of his departure, including the scene on the highway. She also learned about it from the news. It was a false alarm.
One game is nothing to Levis. But now...
Her mood was no longer optimistic.
Killing a foreign policeman is not a big deal to the CIA, as long as no obvious evidence is left behind. Even if there are traces in the United States, they can be eliminated. But there are limits to things. For example, Zhou Yufu will not be killed.
It's not difficult to control people like this if they get involved.
And now, not only Zhou Yufu, but also a group of passengers on the plane have disappeared together. She thinks that Levi's is not so proud, and the CIA is not so generous. This is not something that can cover the sky with one hand.
Since it is not the CIA, ordinary people will not hijack a plane, but if they do, no matter what their identity is, they can be classified as terrorists. This is much more complicated. Although the CIA has great powers and can call on many connections,
At least it can't be shown on the surface, and it's different for terrorists if it's done in a dark way.
The plane lost contact in the Pacific Ocean. No matter how anxious Phoenix was, he had no choice but to silently follow the news, waiting to see the latest tension, and praying in his heart that it was just a temporary loss of contact caused by weather and other reasons. It would be best if the plane could be lost within a few days.
Hours later, I saw news that the flight had arrived safely at the port.
In addition to Phoenix paying attention to the situation of this flight, the news spread to Hong Kong, and the local media reported the situation in a timely manner, but did not obtain the passenger list. **** However, most people did not pay too much attention, only knowing clearly that their relatives and friends were at this time
Only after flying back from Los Angeles would they be more concerned. Li Bingjian and his wife are busy people, so they did not expect such a thing to happen, and did not learn the news at the first time.
The Hong Kong government knew this information before the news was broadcast. Because Secretary Zhou’s schedule was recorded in his office, relevant staff responded to the SAR government immediately, and the Chief Executive also immediately convened a special emergency meeting.
Meeting.
To outsiders, Chow Yu-fu is just the financial secretary of a city, not of a high level. For the SAR government, it is different. He is the third-ranking figure in the Hong Kong government and the right-hand man of the chief executive.
It can actually be said to be a very important event.
After contacting the Hong Kong Airport and Los Angeles, as well as contacting airports in other nearby countries and regions, it was determined that the plane was missing. Several senior executives and the heads of the Security Bureau and the Police Department held an emergency meeting behind closed doors, but no specific details could be given during the discussions.
plan, because this is not missing on the ground, but missing on the vast Pacific Ocean. No one has a good solution.
In the end, the chief executive can only come forward, contact the troops stationed in Hong Kong, and ask Beijing for help to see if the missing aircraft can be found through the People's Liberation Army's reconnaissance satellites. There is also a dedicated person responsible for maintaining contact with the United States.
While many people in Hong Kong were busy over this matter, Levis and others had temporarily settled down on Paradise Island.
After recording everyone's information, they handed the information to the people above. Only half of the soldiers responsible for guarding were left, but they were not allowed to come out and everyone stayed in the bamboo house.
There were no soldiers guarding the bamboo huts, and everyone did not dare to discuss loudly, but the low-pitched discussions never stopped. In each bamboo hut, there were a group of optimists discussing how to leave. But most people still maintained their attitude.
At noon, someone brought lunch - a piece of bread and enough water for each person.
Everyone's heart became heavy. After sitting for several hours, they began to face the cruelty of reality. Quite a few people were worried about the days ahead and did not dare to finish even this piece of bread at once. They were careful to leave some part behind.
, if there is food in the bag, don’t reveal it casually. Passengers who have faith pray silently according to their own beliefs.
Although this is not a prison, it is essentially house arrest. For these innocent passengers, they began to feel agitated and began to complain. They didn’t know what these people wanted, and they didn’t know if they had taken action. We expected them to complete their goals quickly.
, in order to have the opportunity to leave, but I am afraid that they will be tempted. If it cannot be completed, or the goal is achieved, everyone may be silenced!
Worrying about gains and losses, I stayed up until four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and finally got some better news, and the only news that I had.
The soldiers who stayed to guard informed everyone in the bamboo house that they could come out, but a certain range was set. There were also soldiers with guns guarding the boundaries of the range.
There is also time to be protected from the wind while in jail.
For these people, sitting around is the most upsetting thing. Now that they have the chance to protect themselves from the wind, they all come out to do some activities. They finally understand this temporary living area and know which place is the toilet and which place is.
The place is for washing. Of course, it is impossible to take a bath. At most, you will be given water to wash your face, unless you go into the sea.
Levis, Ye Tan and Qin Yao walked together naturally. Outside, they saw fellow businessmen and Secretary Wang, but no one knew that Zhou Yufu and a few other specially selected foreigners were
Wherever it is, it doesn't look like it's here.
When things have reached this point, everyone regards life as the first priority. In such an environment, power is no longer useful, money is of little use, and even the role of the brain is limited. Only one's own strength is reliable.
, people with great skills always have a better chance of survival.
There is no doubt that their hope can only be pinned on the three Levis. The identities of the three people escaped the interrogation, but everyone traveling with them knew what they were doing. Yesterday, Secretary Wang was still describing how powerful Levi was. Of course
We can only rely on them.
With this in mind, these wealthy and representative businessmen in different fields of foreign trade have semi-directly expressed their goodwill. It is simply that if there is a chance to escape, they must be taken with them, and they will be heavily rewarded when they return to Hong Kong.
As the situation is still unclear, Levi's and the others will not say much to everyone, and at most they will just say a few words of comfort. Then they will seize the time to take precautions, separate themselves to understand the situation, and try to understand as clearly as possible the scope of activities currently allowed.
At dusk.
The passengers who were hostages, under the surveillance of soldiers with guns in the distance, sat in twos and threes on the beach to bask in the sun. Some young people were even more open-minded and took off their shoes to play in the water on the beach. Anyway,
There is no chance to leave. Worrying and relaxing have the same result. Some people face it with the intention of carpe diem.
Levis, Ye Tan, and Qin Yao were also sitting on the beach, looking at the vast sea, silent.
They have communicated in detail all the situations they saw in different directions, and now they have a clear idea of what is allowed within the scope of movement, including how many people are guarding and in which positions.
But this didn't give them much useful information. This was just a beach and a nearby area. Compared to the entire island, it was only a small area. And from any direction, it was not possible to see where the stronghold of these people was.
