Chapter 737 Rescue Helicopter
Looking at the collapsed section of the road more than ten meters ahead, Yang Jing and the others shook their heads helplessly.
Chris even picked up the telescope, looked at the distant river valley, then put down the telescope and shook his head and said, "Boss, this road has been completely destroyed. Not only is there a landslide here, there are many sections in front of it that are longer than the landslide of this section, and this road cannot be walked."
Yang Jing took the telescope and looked into the distance. Through the telescope, he could clearly see that in this straight valley that was several kilometers long, there was almost nothing but rocks in the area on both sides of the hundreds of meters. The road that had been extending on the west bank of the valley had long been broken, and the roadbeds on most sections were washed away.
The tsunami poured in from the mouth of the river valley, and even if it was going upstream, its power was far greater than the largest mountain torrent. This can be seen from the current situation on both sides of the river valley. Under that powerful tsunami, flowers, plants, trees, and roadbed buildings were all like pencil drawings under an eraser, and nothing could be left behind.
Even the landslide caused by the earthquake has disappeared completely now. Needless to say, the large pile of landslides have been rolled up by the crazy tsunami...
There are several places on this highway that can retain the roadbed and road surface, which shows that the quality of this highway is good enough. But no matter how good the quality is, in the face of such natural disasters, it is still fragile and not much stronger than the dogtail grass.
"Yang Jing, there is no way to go, right?" Princess asked in a low voice.
"I can't leave anymore." Yang Jing put down his telescope and nodded, "Not only this highway, this island is completely finished. In less than a few decades, this island cannot recover to the grand occasion before the disaster. Alas... the power of heaven is unpredictable!"
"Then are we unable to find the fourth hidden place?"
Princess’ question made Yang Jing a little amused. How big is this girl’s heart? She is in this situation and she is still thinking about the hidden place. Sure enough, it’s not that the whole family doesn’t come in!
"If you can go, you can definitely go." Yang Jing smiled and hugged his wife's slim waist. "I've walked here. If I don't go over and take a look, wouldn't that be too sorry for the fear of being scared these days? The fishing boat sent by Uncle Guo to rescue will be able to reach the sea outside the island in more than one day. There are helicopters on the boat. Now the road is impossible, but we can fly over it."
"That's great! If you can't find gold this time, it's God's fault..."
"Haha, it's hard to say. After all, these treasure trove locations have been around for more than 70 years, and the treasure trove locations that year have been leaked. I'm afraid the treasure trove locations recorded in the two notebooks I found have been leaked long ago. So, don't have much hope for this fourth location."
"Ah? Wouldn't that mean that the sin we suffered these few days will be in vain?"
"How could it be in vain? This is also a rare experience in life experience. Just this matter, you can play with your best friends and classmates for three years after you go back..."
"Go to you!" Princess punched Yang Jing lightly, "Who is like you, can be blown away for half a lifetime with a small thing..."
Yang Jing smiled and hugged his fiancée, "Let's go, don't poke it here, let's go back and wait for the arrival of the rescue helicopter..."
Before he finished speaking, a faint sound of engines sounded in the sky. With the increasing sound of engines, the group saw two helicopters flying overhead.
However, one of the helicopters obviously discovered Yang Jing and the others standing on the road. The helicopter turned a corner in the air and flew towards everyone while decreasing the altitude.
Judging from the blue and white painted on the helicopter, it was obviously a police helicopter, but there was no place for this highway to dock, and the plane was too loud, so Yang Jing and the others shouted that there was nothing on the top.
Yang Jing simply pointed to the direction of the villa on the top of the mountain. The person on the helicopter was smart. After pulling the plane up and hovering for a while, he flew directly towards the villa on the top of the mountain.
"Let's go back, let's talk to these rescuers too."
When Yang Jing and his group drove back to the mountaintop villa, the police helicopter had already stopped. Two police officers in police uniforms were talking to the old butler Lopez.
Seeing Yang Jing and his team come back, one of the middle-aged men in their fifties who looked like a senior police officer hurried over. After walking in, Yang Jing and the others discovered that the middle-aged senior police officer actually had a distinct Western face.
The police officer had obviously learned the identity of Yang Jing and his group from the old housekeeper, so he happily came forward, "God bless you, I am so happy to see you are still alive. I am James Vaughan, the director of the Apayu Police Department."
Kataya is the largest city on Sama Island, south of Catandoness, but this city is located on the west coast of Sama Island, and Sama Island is also the third largest island in the Philippines. The island is full of mountains with altitudes of more than 200 meters, so this tsunami may not have any bad impact on Kataya.
Yang Jing and the others shook hands with the director next to each other. Yang Jing asked, "Mr. Vaughan, are you an American?"
The director nodded, "To be precise, I am a mixed-race child, my father is American, and my mother is Filipino Spanish."
"Mr. Vaughan, how is the situation with A-Drain?"
"There is much better there than here. The tsunami did not affect Apatia. Only some aftermath destroyed some fishing boats and facilities in the port. As for the earthquake, it did not have much impact on it, but only a few old houses."
After pausing, Vaughan asked Yang Jing: "I just saw you on the road. What are you going to do?"
Yang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Our group originally wanted to follow the road to Ponaniban in the north, but when we got here, the earthquake occurred. Because we felt that the magnitude of the earthquake was quite large, we were worried that it would trigger a tsunami, so we followed this small road to the top of the mountain. Here, we escaped the impact of the tsunami and survived fortunately..."
Yang Jing hesitated for a moment, and a sad look appeared on his face, "However, Batto at the foot of the mountain and Bilak in the west may be..."
Chris, who was standing by, also said: "It's so terrifying. When the tsunami comes, many people probably haven't recovered from the horror of the earthquake, and then the overwhelming tsunami swallowed them all. And when the tsunami passed, there was almost nothing left in the coastal area."
Clark, who was standing by, took out his cell phone, clicked on a video and said, "Mr. Vaughan, this is a video I recorded here when the tsunami is coming. Although it is not very clear, you can see the terrifying tsunami."
When several police officers heard the video of a tsunami, they all surrounded them.
This video is not long, only more than two minutes, but even on the small mobile phone screen, Vaughn could feel the power and horror of the super tsunami. A series of "Oh Maiga" and local languages were all sprayed out like they were not worth money.
There is no need to hide such things, and taking out this video can also give these rescuers some intuitive understanding of this tsunami. Some places that do not need to be rescued are not needed at all. Going there will be a waste of time. It is better to use limited manpower and material resources in more areas that need rescue.
"Sir, can this video be...?"
Clark shrugged his shoulders and said while turning off the phone and picking the card, "I'll pick it off, you can take the phone, I hope this video will be helpful to your rescue."
"That's really great thank you." Director Vaughan said gratefully, "Also, I'll pull you out first with a helicopter?"
Yang Jing glanced at Chris, and Chris hurriedly said, "No need. In fact, our boss had already contacted the rescue team after the earthquake, and we had contacted our rescue team just now. Their ships would arrive here in about one day. We did not receive any damage during this earthquake and tsunami, so we can wait one more day. You should use the limited manpower and material resources to the places that should be used."
Chris's refusal did not surprise Director Vaughan. He had already seen that this group of people was definitely not simple, especially the two Chinese people in the middle. Although they were young, they were protected by as many as fourteen bodyguards, so they probably didn't need to rescue them themselves.
Vaughan nodded and said, "Okay, since you have your own rescue team, we won't stay here for more. I have to go around somewhere else to find out the rescue scope for the subsequent rescue team."
As he said that, Director Vaughn saluted Yang Jing and the others, turned around and walked quickly towards the helicopter.
But as soon as he took two steps, Yang Jing stopped him.
"Mr. Vaughan, there was something actually happened the evening before yesterday, and it was like this..."
Yang Jing told the director what happened when he went to another villa to look for food the evening before yesterday, which made the director stunned.
"We couldn't care about these seven murderers at that time. You know, in that case, we still have difficulties in protecting ourselves. We can't bring these seven murderers here. So, they should still be tied up there now. I think, if you have time, should you go there first?"
Vaughn thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure there is no one else besides the seven murderers in that villa?"
"No more, I checked it out before leaving."
"That's good! Those murderers don't have to worry about them for the time being, and we don't have the energy to care about those murderers. Now many good people are not too late to save them, so those murderers should stay there for the time being..." After saying that, Vaughn got on the helicopter without looking back.
However, the servants in the villa did not leave here with the helicopter. Just kidding, there was a lot of chaos outside and there was no food or clothing. Where could there be a pleasant and stable living here?
As for the police chief who didn't go to rescue those murderers, Yang Jing and the others had nothing to say. Anyway, they had already said that even if those murderers died because of the inadequate rescue, they would not blame Yang Jing and the others.
