Wednesday, May 2, midnight, Poseidon Island.

The whole island was shattered, the earth opened one after another, and some buildings and the ground where they were located were literally swallowed up by the earth, and the originally continuous flat ground became undulating and displaced.

The island's power station fell, the power was cut off, and the lights were mostly extinguished.

The person who was originally standing on the same level suddenly found that the person next to him had disappeared, and then looked at it, the whole ground fell down like a lifting platform, and the drop was high and low, from one or two meters to more than ten meters.

The sea water poured into the island along the low depression, and the people in the low depression scrambled to climb up the section, and those trapped in the underground buildings let out a desperate wail when they saw the sea seeping in and falling from the sky.

The sound of the soul in the ground rose to the surface through the earth, making people tremble with horror and infinite sadness, after all, they were all of the same kind. ……

B&B Poseidon Village.

Half of the entire Zhuangzi collapsed, and for the safety of the Young Detective Corps, Mima Kazuo led everyone to board his ship.

Lan didn't want to go, she wanted to stay and wait for Maori and Concubine Yingli, and Ye and Yuanzi dragged her onto the boat.

The other side.

Under the lighting of the emergency lights, Mori, Fei Yingli, Twilight Police Department, Shiratori Police Department, Officer Sato, and Officer Takagi, who rushed to the B&B Ujinso, to meet Ran and others on foot, encountered difficulties, and a crack more than three meters wide and seven or eight meters deep blocked the way.

I had no choice but to take a detour.

Meantime.

Under the emergency lights of the village office, the village chief and the fire chief dutifully activated the emergency procedures, sending a distress signal to the surrounding 60 kilometers of sea area through wireless telegraphy. ……

About twenty kilometers away at sea.

The Sperm Whale oceanographic survey ship and the Invincible 1 aircraft carrier hospital ship both received the signal, and the two captains, Kiyoshi Takano and Hirohiko Hosoyama, received the report and immediately ordered it to be reported to the authorities, and at the same time began to mobilize.

The first wave consisted of two Puffin search and rescue amphibious aircraft, which were used to reconnoiter the situation and establish communications.

Scientists from the Sperm Whale oceanographic survey ship also entered their respective posts to investigate the earthquake situation.

However, strange things happened because there was no earthquake.

It's just that the Puffin search and rescue amphibious aircraft sent photos that there was indeed an earthquake on Poseidon Island, and the ground was very undulating.

Putting aside what happened in advance, the two captains pressed the alarm of the general mobilization together, and at the same time contacted Hachijo Kojima to ask for support.

It was night, and in five hours until dawn, the rescue planes from Hachijo Island were able to get around the storm area. ……

Sperm Whale oceanographic survey vessel.

The three sisters, Yamazaki, Midako, and Tarhan, who were resting in their respective cabins, were also woken up by the sound of the alarm, and they were shocked when they heard the radio that something had happened to Poseidon Island.

At this time, Hirokai Miyamoto and Jiyoro Suzuki also came out, and the seven of them rushed to Funabashi together. ……

Bridge.

Jijiro Suzuki couldn't wait to ask, "Captain, how is the situation now?"

Captain Takano Kiyoshi said helplessly: "It's not clear yet. ”

Yamazaki asked, "Excuse me, has the communication been established?"

Captain Kiyoshi Takano said, "Only we can communicate with each other. ”

"Since a specific communication is OK, try to contact these mobile phone numbers. Mei Daiko wrote down the mobile phone numbers of Maori and the others.

After a while, Maori's mobile phone was connected, although the signal was terrible, but finally knew their situation, they had gone around to the mountain, and it can be said that they were getting farther and farther away from the B&B Poseidon Village.

Mei Daizi said: "Uncle, don't hang up the phone, keep the signal, and the helicopter will go over immediately." ”

Fei Yingli snatched her phone, "Lan, is there any news of Lan?"

Mei Daiko said, "Contacting." ”

At this time, Lan's mobile phone was also connected, and the two sides talked to each other, finally relieved.

As he spoke, the Heavy Shield rescue helicopter reached the sky above the six of them, and under the spotlight, it dropped an inflatable box, which could hold more than 100 people.

However, Mori and the Twilight Police Department, the Twilight Police Department, the Shiratori Police Department, Officer Sato, and Officer Takagi stayed, giving up their places to tourists who heard the news, and arranged for the elderly and weak women and children to go first.

Hiromi Miyamoto said to the captain, "Have you notified Hachijo Kojima?"

Captain Kiyoshi Takano said: "It has been notified, but it will take five hours for the helicopter to get around the storm." ”

Hirokai Miyamoto said to Yamazaki: "I remember that Ishimine Preservation had an air command and control plane, and now it seems to be at Kochi Airport in Shikoku, can you let it come." ”

"I'll try. "Yamazaki asked the captain Kiyoshi Takano to contact the butler Yamazaki Mine and asked him to send a plane over.

When the call ended, the heavy shield helicopter had already arrived, that is, Fei Yingli.

The three sisters, Hirokai Miyamoto, Jijiro Suzuki, Yamazaki, Midaiko, and Tarhan, went to the deck together.

received Concubine Yingli here, and Meima and Nan's boat also entered the spotlight, and you can clearly see the figures of Lan, Yuanzi and others.

Soon after, Lan and the others got on the boat.

"Ran. ”

"Mom. ”

Mother and daughter reunited, affectionate hugs.

Jijiro Suzuki asked, "Sonoko, are you alright?"

Yuan Zi shrugged, "It's okay, even the luggage is here." ”

"It's you, it's been a long time. ”

"yes, that's a coincidence. ”

Hirokai Miyamoto shook hands with Kazuo Mima, a secret friend who never died. ……

Afterwards, the three Talhan sisters took Concubine Yingli to wash and dress the wounds on her arms and legs, as well as a little extracutaneous abrasion left by rolling with Maori.

The Young Detectives were locked in the cabin and guarded by Dr. Asasa, Eiyu Hondo, and Hattori so that they would not run around and cause trouble.

Yamazaki and Midiko take Ran, Kazuha, and Sonoko to Funabashi, and Ran worries about Maori.

Mima and the man went to rest, and when it was dawn, he was going to sail to the rescue. ……

On the other side, Poseidon Island.

The tremors continued, wave after wave, and people panicked.

Due to the wind and rain, only three Heavy Shield helicopters were carrying out rescue work.

Although they have been shouting to calm people's hearts, there are more people and less rescue, and the order is a bit chaotic, which affects the speed of rescue.

On a speedboat by the sea.

Mitsuji Matsumoto and Yamataro Izu are thinking about how to get out of this island.

You can't go far by speedboat, and if you take a boat, you may be recognized at the first time, and then you will be in big trouble. ……

At two o'clock in the morning, the Sperm Whale oceanographic survey ship, Shipbridge.

Researchers came to report that, based on the findings of the underwater self-propelled probe, they judged that Poseidon Island did not have an earthquake, but sank in its entirety.

The reason is that a methane hydrate layer under the sea has collapsed, and it is difficult to say how deep it will sink, because there is more than one methane hydrate layer under the sea, and it is impossible to predict whether there will be a chain reaction.

As for why this change occurred, it has not yet been discovered.

The good news is that there will be no tsunami, and as long as the people on the island know how to water, they can float on the surface of the sea as the sea rises, and there will be no danger to their lives for a while.

Of course, if you can, go as high as you can, stay high and wait for rescue.

The captain of the ship, Kiyoshi Takano, relayed the news to Mori, and just as Mori, the Twilight Police Department and others were discussing and going separately to inform everyone, the air command and control plane arrived.

The communication of Poseidon Island was restored, the rescue plan was issued, and the hearts of the people on the island were suddenly much calmer.

When the heavy shield helicopter went to the island to rescue people, it also began to drop inflatable rafts for those who did not have time to leave.

Three heavy shield helicopters, transporting three inflatable boxes at a time in 20 minutes, more than 300 people, and only 1,000 people in an hour, is not enough.

Another problem also emerged, the Sperm Whale oceanographic survey ship and the Invincible No. 1 aircraft carrier hospital ship were almost unable to accommodate the people who were sent one after another, and they needed to be diverted.

One large, three, and four hovercraft on the Sperm Whale oceanographic survey ship were the first to be launched, one 12-meter-wide high-speed air-cushion landing craft for vehicles with a load of 60 tons, which could squeeze hundreds of people, and three four-meter-class high-speed hovercraft with a width of more than 4 meters, with a load of 3 tons, which could squeeze hundreds of people together.

Then there are twelve folding high-speed inflatable boats, twelve packed inflatable boats, each capable of squeezing more than twenty people.

All of them add up, which can divert more than 1,000 people, that is, more than an hour's volume.

In other words, it would allow the rescue to last for more than an hour, but it would not be enough.

The two captains made radio contact and sent jet skis to inform the ships that had escaped from Poseidon Island that they would be able to help carry the crew.

Matsumoto Mitsuji and Izu Yamataro's clippers were among them, and in order not to arouse suspicion, the two had to follow the other ships and come together to help.

Mitsuji Matsumoto and Yamataro Izu were worried that if they waited until dawn, they might be recognized, after all, their dark skin was conspicuous.

By that time, they wouldn't even have a place to run.

Only now, too, they have no way to escape, and on this vast sea, as long as they break away from the fleet, they will become conspicuous, not to mention that the clippers do not have enough range to leave.

In a dilemma, Mitsuji Matsumoto and Yamataro Izu are in torment, looking forward to opportunities. ……

At about three o'clock in the morning, the amphibious transport plane of Shi Feng Security from Shikoku arrived to support, bringing many inflatable rafts to relieve the urgent need for personnel diversion.

With enough inflatable rafts, there is no need to divert people to high-speed inflatable boats and inflatable boats, let alone those from Poseidon Island.

This news made Matsumoto Mitsuji and Izu Yamataro breathe a sigh of relief.

When people are triaged, there will be searchlights to guide them, and they may be recognized. ……

On the other side, Poseidon Island.

Poseidon Island has sunk about ten meters at this time, many houses are below sea level, and many of the inflatable rafts that were put on before have been used.

In addition to continuing to drop the inflatable raft, the heavy shield helicopter no longer put the inflatable box, but let people land on the already manned inflatable raft to maintain order, and then directly hoisted away the inflatable raft.

In this way, a lot of time is saved. ……

It's less than four o'clock in the morning.

An official reconnaissance plane from Tokyo arrived, and when it arrived over Poseidon Island, officials also sent a contact.

Kiyoshi Takano, the captain of the Sperm Whale oceanographic survey ship, explained the situation that the current Poseidon Island was sinking on land, and at the same time sent the budget amount over.

The rescue of the Pacific Maritime Group is not free, the official does not admit it, so it will find someone, anyway, it does not plan to make a profit from this, but it cannot lose money.

As for the sponsorship of the Good Mood Foundation, that's another matter.

The cost is divided into four parts, one is the fuel cost, the second is the depreciation cost of equipment, the third is the cost of medical rescue materials, and the fourth is the overtime pay for personnel work. ……

On the other side, at sea.

Patrol boats from Chichijima and Hatojima, with some clippers, have also reached the nearby waters.

Captain Kiyoshi Takano reminds them to wait for dawn so as not to crash into an unknown object.

Now the line of sight is still unclear, and Poseidon Island not only has the terrain become complicated, but there are many, many debris floating on the sea, a little careless, not to save people, but to add to the chaos.

It's just that these ships did not heed the advice and insisted on going to Poseidon Island to carry out rescue work.

In this regard, the Pacific Maritime Group has no choice, and it can't be managed.

And for the arrival of these ships, Matsumoto Mitsuji and Izu Yamataro were very happy in their hearts, and as long as they could get into those ships, they could return to Chichijima or Mother Island with them, and they would escape from the predicament.

So, the two drove the fast boat out of the fleet, re-entered Poseidon Island, and then stopped the boat in a hidden place and launched, swam to a distant place to ask for help from a passing fishing boat, and successfully got on the fishing boat from Chichijima. ……
