Eight hundred and sixty-eight islands to the north
"Ahh......h And a red ...... Oh, this is a pink diamond, oh my God......" Yu Ting screamed over there, pulling in the dirt, while giving the portable camera to Li Huan: "Shoot it, shoot it all, my God, it's incredible to find gems from the dirt......"
Li Huan looked at Yu Ting's fiery expression and smiled bitterly. Where is this to pick up gems from the dirt...... This is a treasure burial site left behind when the Japanese ** team retreated. When the intelligence agents intercepted the news of the locations of the buried treasures, they only handed over a large part of them to the Citigroup government, and the remaining small part was probably the three burial sites. These three burial points were originally intended to be kept for their own enjoyment or for emergency use, but they didn't expect that they ended up in Li Huan's hands.
With such accurate annotation points, it is possible to find ...... so accurately
But why are gems in the dirt? just littered?
Soon the answer came out, and with the joint efforts of the three of them, two wooden boxes were cleared, but unfortunately, the planks of these boxes had long been rotten. These two boxes were obviously buried by the ** team that year, and the depth of the burial should not be very deep, but if it wasn't for the tsunami, even if it was buried shallowly, it would be difficult to be found because of the vegetation on it. The tsunami not only destroyed all the villages and towns along the river, but also swept away all the vegetation on the hillsides on both sides of the river below a certain height. The two boxes were buried not high above the river, and the tsunami swept away the vegetation and washed away more than half of the soil on the ground, which caused the two boxes to be exposed to the ground.
Several people pulled the dirt on it apart with both hands, revealing the treasure mixed with dirt. These two chests are full of precious stones, rubies, sapphires, jadeites, diamonds, emeralds, opals, ...... These gemstones, of all sizes and sizes, come together and even though they have been buried in the soil for more than 70 years, they still shine with a fascinating light once they have been excavated from the soil.
"It's too scary...... Yu Ting's momentum at the beginning finally weakened a lot, she didn't dig now, she just stood in place, watching those gems glow with a pair of eyes.
Li Huan smiled and gave her a thumbs up, and then smiled: "You are really, don't dig with your hands, you don't need to dig with sapper shovels, you have to dig with your hands, don't your hands hurt?"
Who knew that the three of them, including Rodman Leon, shook their heads in unison, obviously, in front of these precious gems, let alone digging with their hands, even if they were asked to arch their heads, it was estimated that they would be willing. More than half of the chest was buried underneath, revealing only a small part, so if you wanted to dig it all out, you would have to have to shovel it with sappers. Fortunately, the soil is very soft, and although the wood of the wooden box is rotten, it can still ensure that the gems inside the box are not exposed.
Yu Ting rested, Li Ang and Rodman became the main force of the excavation, with the strength of the two of them, it didn't take twenty minutes, the two wooden boxes with a length of about half a meter and a height of about half a meter were completely exposed, and they were full of all kinds of gems.
......
In Western myths and legends, dragons, powerful creatures that are almost invincible, are powerless to resist all kinds of gems that radiate light. There is also a saying that among humans, women's resistance to gemstones is almost zero. This point has been vividly reflected in Ms. Yu Ting at this moment.
Although Yu Ting herself was not born into a wealthy family, she is a strong woman in her career! Her vision is broad, and she has really seen the world, think about it, the pink gem that Li Huan found in India was still carved by Yu Ting's help! And since the filming of this movie, because of the greeting of Duke Sherman and Bellamy, those large and small aristocrats in Europe have rushed to stuff those valuable antiques to Yu Ting - think about it, what was the aesthetic of Europeans in the Middle Ages? They don't burn fine porcelain, and what they call priceless antiques is generally "priceless in the true sense of the word", which means that it is probably a large lump of gold studded with all sorts of gemstonesโand that is priceless.
And Yu Ting, who has been in Europe for so long, has long been accustomed to seeing these things, but she is such a strong woman, but she has no resistance at all in front of these charming gems...... The Tanga people, this fascinating gemstone that radiates all kinds of light, is not only devastating to women, but also to men. Especially when a large number of precious gems are gathered together, this lethality will be magnified exponentially, regardless of gender, all killed!
Leon and Rodman are both retired soldiers of the elite Delta Force, and have also worked in professional organizations such as the CIA and the Secret Service. In addition, Li Huan had already made them a rich man, and it stands to reason that their minds should be firmer, but at this time, when facing these two boxes of gems, these two were also intoxicated.
In particular, the two boxes of gems are still in a dirt pit at this time, next to the dirty dirt, and in the dirt, there are various gems that shine brightly, and this strong contrast highlights the charm of these two boxes of gems.
In comparison, Li Huan didn't care, among the few treasures he found before, whether it was Bellamy's treasure or from that world, from the Sea Lord's lair. The gems snatched out of the house, the various colored gems in them were much more than the two boxes of gems in front of him, and he couldn't say that he was immune to this equivalent amount of gems now, but he definitely couldn't say how tempting he was. Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts, and this sentence is very penetrating. In fact, humans instinctively have a love for this sparkling gemstone, and it is not about the value of the gemstone, but that this beautiful gemstone is like a delicacy, which is attractive in itself.
Li Huan patted Li Ang's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, don't be in a daze, let's quickly put away these gems, if the rescue helicopter finds out, these things won't belong to us." โ
Li Huan's words woke everyone up from their intoxication, and Yu Ting said with a smile: "Yes, hurry up, let's quickly put away these gems, and when we get home, we will slowly appreciate them." โ
The boss and the proprietress both spoke, and the two of them did not delay, Rodman laughed, and put the two weapon boxes he brought over next to the earthen pit, and then several people worked together to move all the gems in the two boxes into the weapon boxes made of high-strength engineering plastics, and then the two of them carried a box and walked along the riverside towards the helicopter. With these two boxes of gems as the base, Yu Ting didn't feel how terrifying it was to walk along the riverside at this time, but she still didn't dare to look at the side full of corpses, she just lowered her head and focused on her feet.
As for Li Huan and a few of them, it doesn't matter, let alone the dead bodies, even the big living people, they don't know how many they have slaughtered. After returning to the fishing boat, Luo Weisha and Agata who were waiting on the boat came over, Liu Qianhuan didn't know why they were also chatting with them on the deck, they saw the helicopter coming back, and immediately surrounded them, and when the helicopter stopped, they immediately stepped forward with an inquiring expression on their faces.
Li Huan nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "I found it, but it's not a lot, there are only two boxes of gems, all in these two boxes!"
Hearing Li Huan say this, everyone let out a cheerful low cry, not to mention anything else, at least there is an extra income. Only Rovisa and Agata looked a little anxious, but you could see the longing on their faces. What kind of character is Li Huan, I believe that when they got along with Rodman and Li Ang, these two guys had already told them. There is no doubt at all. Li Huan is not blind, and he can see that these four people are now in love.
It's a coincidence that they're in love...... Li Huan didn't expect it to develop to this point, if this matter had been said before, no one would believe it. Two retired female bodyguards of the Red Empire, and two retired special agents from the leading capitalist countries, were actually combined in Li Huan's team......
However, Li Huan is happy to see this kind of thing come to fruition.
"Rest assured, my team
The rules of these two goods have probably been told to you, don't worry, as long as our team finds it together, then everyone has a copy!" Li Huan smiled faintly: "And you don't have to be so restrained, you look at Li Huan and Rodman, they were also very restrained when they followed me at the beginning, so you look at these two goods now that they regard themselves as their own people, and they don't shy away from me at all- I'll guess if these two guys promised you when they set off, that whatever they find, they'll pick the most beautiful one for you. โ
"Boss, can you guess this, I admire you so much......" Li Ang grinned, took out a polished ruby from his pocket, like a touch of sun-colored pulsing, and stuffed it into Luo Weisha's hand: "Come, this is the one I saw more beautiful of them when we were just digging for gems." Of course, I can't take the most beautiful one, and the most beautiful one must be reserved for Miss Yu. โ
After speaking, Li Ang smiled very doggedly: "Boss, it's right for me to deal with it this way, I don't want to be an outsider myself, I'll keep the most beautiful one for you." โ
"You guys......" Li Huan shook his head.
"No, no, I can't ...... now" Rovisha's face was sweating nervously, she couldn't believe what she had just heard, during the Siberian adventure, Rovisha had always thought that Leon was a very professional bodyguard...... But look at what he just did? That's right, even if Li Huan digs up the treasure, then as a bodyguard, he must not swallow it privately. And this is no longer a matter of embezzlement, he not only embezzles but also shows it in front of the boss...... Rovisha felt her brain shut down.
Although Li Ang has been emphasizing that following the boss will treat him as his own person, what is Li Huan's character, but Luo Weisha never thought that what Li Ang said was all true - she thought that Li Ang was bragging to herself at first. And not only was Rovisa's expression shocked, but Rodman was even more silly over there, this guy had more than one, and now Agata had a gem in his hand, and he didn't know where to put it.
"Okay, you two guys, it's not like you don't have money...... But they were right, there weren't a lot of people on our team, and Leon and Rodman had saved me with their lives, so I really thought of them as my own. Li Huan said seriously: "In addition, you two don't have to be so restrained, when you were at the Baikal dock, if it weren't for the two of you who risked your lives to help, then Shangguan Qing might have encountered an accident, you are also your own people, just take it for you!"
Originally, seeing the behavior of Li Ang and Rodman, Yu Ting still had doubts in her heart, why did the two of them dare to swallow it privately, and they were so upright and bright? But after listening to Li Huan's explanation, Yu Ting instantly understood - these two bodyguards saved Li Huan's life, and those two female bodyguards saved Shangguan Qing, although I don't know what happened specifically, but according to Li Huan's character, it is normal for the plot to develop like this.
So Yu Ting also stood up in time: "That's right, you saved your favorite and saved his friends, just treat yourself as a family." I know Li Huan too well, he is not polite, he never hides what he wants to say or do. What he said to you was definitely not polite, and he told you to accept it. โ
Looking at the "hostess" beside Li Huan, the two female bodyguards finally believed that this was true.
They are different from Li Ang and Rodman, they have not yet experienced Li Huan's generosity - in fact, when they came out, they still wondered why these two men directly hired a helicopter to fly over without discussing the price - the most ridiculous thing is that they will use the money for helicopters and fishing boats, or they will take it out of their pockets. Rovisa and Agata swore that they had been bodyguards for so many years and had never seen a bodyguard pay their master for transportation...... What a sassy operation this is.
Now they all understood.
So after getting Yu Ting's recognition, these two sturdy female bodyguards were also full of joy at this time, and the two of them knew very well what this meant, which meant that the boss had really completely accepted them, and from then on, the two of them could be regarded as real members of the team, rather than just participating in the team as bodyguards before.
Liu Qianhuan was the only one on the deck who was drooling, and he was familiar with Li Huan, but he knew very well that there were some things that he could not participate in, for example, this time Li Huan mysteriously took a few people out, although Liu Qianhuan was also very curious, but he knew better that curiosity could not only kill cats, but also kill people.
So he was very wise not to ask, Liu Qianhuan had seen Li Huan's ability with his own eyes.
Equally wise, there is also the captain and boss of the fishing boat, the boss who dares to open at this time in the storm circle, if he has not been forced in his heart, he would have died at sea 80,000 times. When Leon hired him, it had already been explained that the mission this time was to meet some important people, and he was not the boss, the real boss was waiting to be rescued. The captain is not stupid, as soon as Li Huan got on the boat, he saw that Li Huan was the most important one among these people, and he was the real boss.
Now watching the boss go out with a few people for more than an hour, and then come back with two boxes, the faces of the group are also very happy, which means that the boss has achieved his goal, so Terry knows that he can appear.
"Hello boss, my name is Bobito, and I am the captain of this ship, what will you arrange next? Do you still need this ship and this helicopter?"
Li Huan thought for a while and said, "You wait for a while." โ
As he spoke, Li Huan took out a map, looked at it and said, "Let the boat continue to the north, and see if the damage to Polillo Island in the north is serious, if the damage to Polillo Island is not serious, just put us there." โ
The Polyllio Island mentioned by Li Huan is an archipelago off the northeast coast of the Philippines, named Polillo Islands, located in the north of Ramon Bay, across the Polillo Strait and Luzon Island. The fifth hidden spot in the notebook is on the main island of the Polillo Islands, just over 170 nautical miles from Catandanes, which can be reached in about twelve hours at the speed of the fishing boat.
Since it was so close, of course Li Huan wanted to go over and have a look, the boat was ready-made, and the helicopter was also ready-made, which was much more convenient than renting a car or helicopter in Polilo City. As for the rental of fishing boats and helicopters, that's all trifle. I used to be disgusted enough by the sunset party, but now I finally found an opportunity to disgust the sunset party, and it is also disgusting to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and the best thing is that I can make a windfall...... How could Li Huan let go of the opportunity.
Li Huan planned so, but Bobito shook his head and said, "Boss, if you want to go to Polillo Island, then I suggest that you better not go, that island is even worse than this island." When you went out just now, I had already learned a lot about the damage through the ship's radio. This time the Philippines is very miserable, not only the southern islands are badly damaged, but even the east coast of the northern island of Luzon has also suffered heavy losses in the tsunami, and as for the island of Poliho, which you want to visit, it has been completely washed by the tsunami. โ
Li Huan was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Polillo Island was washed away by the tsunami?
"Yes boss, Polillo and the whole of Polillo are completely finished. Most of the hills on Poliho are one or two hundred meters above sea level, and that island is smaller than Catandunes, so when the tsunami came, those low hills did not stop the tsunami from the east coast, and the seventeen islands of the entire Polillo archipelago have all been washed by the tsunami, and it is said that even the largest city on the island of Polillo was almost completely destroyed by the tsunami, even if the city is located on the west coast of Polillio, but the widest part of the southern part of Polilo is only more than ten kilometers wide, so even that city has not escaped the tsunamiใ โ
"Also, if it weren't for the Sierra Madre Mountains in the eastern part of Luzon as a barrier to stop the tsunami, even the whole of Luzon could have been washed away, and Manila would not have been able to save it! โ
Li Huan shook his head speechlessly, he knew at this time that the disaster caused by the tsunami was far greater than he imagined.
Bobito knew from Li Huan's appearance that he had underestimated the tsunami, and he added: "I think you may have underestimated this tsunami."
into a disaster. According to the data available so far, the tsunami caused more damage, deaths and disappearances than the Indian Ocean tsunami more than a decade ago. Several countries have now reported the number of people killed and missing as a result of the tsunami. The Philippines was the worst hit, and Indonesia to the south, where tens of thousands of people have died and gone missing. In addition, even the southeast coast of China has suffered a lot of damage, and it is said that when the tsunami reached the coast of China, it was still seven or eight meters high...... Even Hawaii, thousands of kilometers away, saw a tsunami more than two meters high......"
As soon as Bobito said this, Li Huan really realized that he really underestimated this tsunami.
He really didn't expect that the tsunami would have such a destructive power, Hawaii is more than 8,000 kilometers away from here, and this tsunami can cause a tsunami more than two meters high in Hawaii, more than 8,000 kilometers away, which is simply incredible.
But it is also a testament to the power of this tsunami.
This sudden news made Li Huan a little confused, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Let's go over and have a look, since we have all come here, let's continue to walk for a few more days." โ
Some people in the crew may want to go back as soon as possible, but Li Huan asked people to get this boat. If it weren't for Li Huan calling this boat, everyone wouldn't know how long they would have stayed on the island. So even if someone knew that Li Huan was going to wander in this sea area, there was nothing to say, and Li Huan's order was not given in front of everyone, and no one knew about it.
Now that the decision had been made, the captain nodded, turned around and walked to the anchor, heading in the direction marked by Li Huan.
......
The chartered fishing boat arrived in the waters near Polilo Island in the middle of the night, but this was obviously not a good time for inspection, so it was not until the early morning of the next day that Li Huan and the others entered Polillo Island by helicopter. The Polyllio archipelago is made up of seventeen islands of various sizes, with the westernmost island being the main island and the largest. The island is home to 70,000 or 80,000 people, most of whom are concentrated in Polilo, on the southwestern tip of the island.
"Hmm...... It's almost in this position, Leon, drop the height of the helicopter a little, of course, don't drop it to the minimum, just drop it to a position of about 200 meters. Let us see clearly below and avoid the dangers below. Li Huan said.
"Okay boss, look at my ......" Leon said, he lowered the height of the helicopter, but still said suspiciously: "Boss, what danger will there be here? Although I don't know much about this island, I do know that there are no air defense facilities in this area...... There's nothing to threaten us, so what are you guarding against?"
"Well, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Li Huan said on the ground: "I'm not talking about any air defense facilities, if it's an air defense facility, then it's simple, this tsunami has broken off all optical cable communications in the past, even if there are any high-tech air defense facilities, it is completely useless now." It's like Hurricane Katarina, after that hurricane ravaged Citigroup, where Hurricane Becaterina ravaged, are all military facilities still useful?
"Yes, there is no way to calculate the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, which swept inland with a huge tsunami, even down the river to five or six hundred kilometers inland. There are a few hidden military installations along the road, but the hurricane and tsunami don't care what kind of military or civilian you are, I remember that the National Guard was used to help the disaster. Not to mention military facilities, as far as I know, even a couple of permanent fortifications have been washed away. Leon said with a grin - since he was threatened by the guy in the sunset note, Leon's enthusiasm for Citigroup has plummeted.
Not only Leon, but also Rodman, I heard that these two guys have been living happily in China recently, and are preparing to move their property and family to China. In Rodman's words, China's safety index is simply outrageous, and even a drunk young girl walks down the street in the middle of the night without worrying about what will happen. If it is in Citigroup, if there is a young girl who dares to drink drunk and pass through certain neighborhoods at night, then there is no need to think about it, the next day she will definitely find her dead by the river, and the security environment in China is simply too good. Not only is it safe, but it is also good to eat, compared to the shoddy food in Citigroup, there is also Chinese food such as "Zuo Zongtang Chicken" that may not even be known to the ancestors, and Li Ang Rodman, who has eaten authentic Chinese food, is addicted.
Therefore, now Leon and Rodman have become "elite elements", and they are full of complaints about the Citigroup country where they were born.
Hurricane Katrina, known as Hurricane Katrina, formed near the Bahamas in mid-August 2005 and made landfall in Florida as a minor hurricane after intensifying into a hurricane on August 24. In the following hours, the storm moved into the Gulf of Mexico and rapidly intensified into a Category 5 hurricane as it crossed the area on August 28. Katrina made landfall at the Mississippi Estuary on August 29 as a massive Category 3 hurricane. Storm surges caused catastrophic damage in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. The levee that separates Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans, Louisiana, burst due to a storm tide, and 80 percent of the city was flooded. Strong winds have blown inland areas, hampering relief efforts. The overall economic damage caused by Hurricane Katrina could be as high as $200 billion, making it the most devastating hurricane in Citigroup's history. It was also the deadliest Citi Nation hurricane since Hurricane Ochriculpi in 1928, with at least 1,833 people killed.
At the time, the Citi government asked the city of New Orleans to evacuate millions of people from areas where the hurricane might arrive. More than a third of oil fields near the Gulf of Mexico have been forced to close. Seven refineries and a major Citigroup crude export facility also had to be temporarily suspended. The price of crude oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange surged $4.67 per barrel to $70.8 at the opening of trading on Aug. 29. In Atlanta, gas stations cost $5 per gallon higher. On August 31, 2005, the George W. Bush administration agreed to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to help revive the badly damaged crude oil processing plant. The International Energy Agency (IEA) announced on 2 September 2005 that all 26 member countries had agreed to put on the market 2 million barrels of crude oil from the strategic reserve per day for 30 days to help resolve the market tensions caused by Hurricane Katrina. Crude oil futures prices fell sharply on the day in the New York market.
A day after the Louisiana state of emergency was declared, President Bush declared a state of emergency in Mississippi on 28 August 2005. A total of 80 people were killed in the Harrison County, Mississippi. The death toll across Mississippi is at least 218, Louisiana 423, Alabama 2 and Florida 14. At least 2.3 million residents in Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida are affected by the outage. In addition, it caused large-scale communication failures. On August 30, 2005, all three major stock indexes of the New York stock market fell as investors feared that the hurricane would cause huge losses to Citigroup's economy. In some cities, even 90 per cent of buildings have been destroyed. Then-President George W. Bush said it would take years to fully recover to pre-disaster levels.
"That's right, since you said that after the hurricane and tsunami in your Citigroup country, those facilities can't be used, and the Philippines can still use them?" Li Huan smiled.
"Then what are you worried about?" Li Ang scratched his head: "Boss, although the helicopter you asked me to get is not military, it is much stronger than ordinary civilian helicopters, and small-caliber weapons can't penetrate it at all." โ
"Small-caliber weapons can't be pierced...... The automatic rifle is different, the automatic rifle shoots upwards into the sky, and at this distance, the power is reduced to the same as that of a small-caliber weapon. Li Huan said.
"Why would someone shoot us?" asked Rodman grimly.
"Have you forgotten what happened to you after Hurricane Katrina? Zeus is no less powerful than Hurricane Katrina. "Anarchy after a disaster is very normal, and in a place like Citigroup, where domestic control is tight, a hurricane has passed and become anarchy," Li said. Not to mention the islands of the Philippines. โ
