23.Chapter 22
Since GET learned the skills of fishing and bird catching, the quality of daily life of the five people has suddenly improved a lot, changing to fancy cooking, steaming, roasting, stewing, and baking with mud like a flower chicken.
With two boats of fresh water, plenty of greenery, and constant heat, it is relatively easy to collect fresh water, whether it is boiling seawater or evaporating leaves.
But as the days rolled over in mid-December and began to approach Christmas, even if the friends didn't speak, Carlos could still see their worries, why hadn't the promised rescue arrived? The storm had been several days away, and it was a long way from where the Venus had stopped, though it was a small boat. But when the planes were dispatched to reconnoitre, and there were instructions from the wolf smoke, couldn't they be found in a day or two?
Or did something unplanned?
The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, but as the pillar of the current small group, he can't panic, and still teases the other four people every day, actively pulling them to shoot daily distractions.
ββββββββββ
As his friends fell asleep, Carlos climbed onto the roof of his hut, and with no time to admire the starry night sky, he took out his laptop from his bucket list, did all kinds of hidden work, and began to surf the Internet.
He first cut into the official website of the "Five" club.
Originally, they planned to return to New York on the 18th and have a working meeting for the last Christmas event on the 20th to refine their respective tasks, but as a result, it is now the 22nd, and I don't know if this event will be cut in half.
As he imagined, the forum exchange area was chaotic.
Countless reproaches drifted to the management office like snowflakes. Message boards are also being swiped in various ways.
[What's the matter?,It's already the 21st.,What about the meeting yesterday?] No one was notified at all! Has this Christmas event been cancelled? It's so irresponsible! Sure enough, underage people are unreliable in doing things! It's boring, it's back! ]
[Retreat together!] I even pushed off the self-driving tour invited by a friend, and signed up for public welfare with great interest, but you gave me a no-show? Hehe! ]
[Didn't you say that they went on vacation at the beginning of the month, and they probably had too much fun, forgetting about the public welfare activities, and blinding them!] ]
Behind a large area of resentful questioning, this incident exposed the shortcomings of the website's operation, the club was established by the five of them little by little, and the website was single-handedly organized by Carlos, and the American husband and wife were named directors, but they also went out on their honeymoon.
At present, there is no one in the management who is in the country, and he can't control the situation at all, even if he has access to the Internet, he can't come forward, and they are now lost in the Atlantic, and there is no signal.
He could only watch as the incident deteriorated further, and the number of members on the site had dropped from four digits to three digits.
Upset!
Carlos cut out and landed on Twitter.
The private messages are full of busy messages.
Busy: I'm so envious, jealous and hateful! You can go to escape the cold! We're still in the middle of the announcement, and we can only sleep three hours a day! You're gone, Brother TOP can only nibble on ramen, and the whole person is lifeless! Come back soon, come back, come back!
Busy: Ahaha, you didn't see it, you tweeted a bunch of M attribute asking, why don't you come out of the newspaper these days, laugh at me!
Busy: Huh? Why haven't you come back yet? Didn't you go back to the U.S. yesterday?
Busy: What about people, what about people?
β¦β¦
Busy: When I saw the reply to the private message, we were worried about you! BY tops kun
Phew! The male god cares about me! But I still can't reply! It will be exposed!
Cut it out silently, and sure enough, it was easiest to hook up when the male god was not red and purple! Carlos secretly refreshed, next, he landed on Facebook, this should be the most news, after all, classmates, friends, and even Mr. Consultant around him are all Facebook friends.
Carlos' last message on Facebook was a photograph of the blue sky, white clouds and sea of the Atlantic Ocean from the Venus.
The number of reviews is staggering.
Quickly passing a bunch of likes, he looked carefully at the comments in recent days, and sure enough, the resentment on the site had shifted to Facebook.
An unexpected name appeared in the comments.
Find the names, and he looks them one by one.
γReviewγ
Captain: Carlos hasn't returned to the United States yet? But the boat he was on had already returned and arrived at the docks, and his friend said that the five of them had left Brazil early to return home.
[Definitely not back!] The participants in the Christmas activities organized by the Five People Society this time are his classmates, and he clearly said that he has not seen it, and it was originally a meeting on the 20th, and none of the five people appeared. ]
[Upstairs upstairs, what's your news!] Do you really know the landlord? ]
Captain: It was December 12th, because there was a storm at sea that day, and their first boat was escorted back by the coast guard. You can come to my homepage, Carlos departed on the day, we took a photo together.
[After a turn to go upstairs home, it's indeed a little angel.] ]
[Check the entry and exit to see if there are any of them.] ]
[What a face upstairs!] Entry and exit records are what you say you can check if you want to? Let his parents and relatives check, don't they care about the whereabouts of their children! ]
[This is Carlos's classmate, his family went abroad for their honeymoon, and they also said before they left that they would come back from the trip to participate in Christmas activities directly, this time across the state, I guess they thought they were having too much fun and forgot to report safety. ]
[it, storm?] Didn't anyone pay attention to the captain's first speech? The little angel's friend said that the five of them left early, and then spoke for the second time and said that because of the storm, the boat was escorted back to the dock by the coast guard, so was the little angel not on the ship at that time? If so, how did they avoid the captain who was on the dock at the time, and if he was not, could it be that when he went to sea, he returned to the sea and put them down again, and the ship went to sea again? ]
[I rub, think about it carefully!] ]
After flipping through dozens of comments that didn't have much information, the captain's name reappeared.
Captain: I asked my friends near the docks, and it's safe to say that they went out to sea for four days and never made a return voyage in between, because the boat was too eye-catching to be missed. On top of that, at noon on the 12th, Carlos sent me a chart showing his location!
[β¦β¦]
[What do little angels' friends say?] Captain speed to ask! ]
[Ask!] O my little angel! ]
Captain: People are rich second generation! Where am I going to ask him! I can't even get into his house! The door is full of bodyguards, and his father's company won't let me in to find the boss's youngest son! Strange to say, the guy hasn't been seen in the last few days, and the engine of his sports car can be heard every day.
[Upstairs isn't stupid!] There must be! It can't be because you lost a friend at sea and went into hiding, right? ]
[Homicide at Sea?] Throwing corpses directly into the sea? ]
[Can't talk upstairs!] ]
The imagination of the little friend is also rich, and Carlos knelt directly. The time for comments has come today.
Captain: What's new, my dad's friend helped check the local immigration situation, and didn't find the names of Carlos and the other five people, they should still be in Brazil. If you have friends who know their elders, please help contact them.
[Thanks upstairs, I'm a classmate of five, I've contacted Tom's sister, it's said that there has been no mail or phone, her mother had called the young master's house, according to them, the young master didn't come home either, but the owner of the ship was their relative and would call to confirm the situation.] ]
[I always feel that the owner of the ship is unreliable.] ]
[Peace be upon you!] ]
[Peace be upon you!] ]
[Carlos's godfather has returned to the United States, and the two families in the local area have asked the young master's family for verification, and also contacted the owner of the ship, and the owner of the ship said: The five of them said that they were bored at sea, and they went back to the inland to play in advance, and they called every day to report their whereabouts. ]
[Believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway!] Carlos wouldn't be so rash! And according to Garcia's personality, the event was planned by her, and she will definitely not be absent and not appear, not even notified! ]
[Yes, the owner's words are too leaky.] ]
[Tom's best friend is here!] The godfather of the male god has already set off with Tom's father to Brazil to find the owner of the ship directly. Take care, the shipowner, it's best to be fine, otherwise you'll see the strength of the legendary American boxing champion! ]
[it?] What do I see? ]
[Keywords: Garcia, boxing champion!] I seem to know something! ]
[The owner should be waxed here!] ]
[Wax]
Perhaps, now American Dad has arrived in Brazil. It is estimated that the rescue will arrive soon, but the matter is getting bigger, and he has to think carefully about whether he has shown any horses. The burden on his shoulders was suddenly lifted.
"There aren't many days left on the island."
Stretching, he climbed off the roof and slept next to the American girl.
ββββββββββ
On the other hand, Dad America and Dad Tom arrived in Brazil late at night, accompanied by Mr. Consultant, who came to pick up Jacob's own brother, who arrived first, after all, the main purpose of this trip was to ask his daughter-in-law's own brother for questions.
"Good evening, Mr. Garcia."
"I'm not good, my daughter and son are missing now, I'm not good at all."
American dads rarely pull down their faces, because their expressionless appearance can scare crying children, and pulled down faces can directly scare adults with fragile hearts. Jacob's brother could only laugh awkwardly and greet the three of them into the van.
No one in the car spoke, and the driver in front of him closed the compartment in the car with great eyes. Silence is as oppressive as the depths of the ocean.
"Presumably the three of you haven't eaten yet, why don't-"
"All I want now is to see that damn yacht owner as much as I can!"
Unceremoniously interrupted Jacob's brother's words, and those who were guilty could only continue to laugh.
That idiot! Get divorced when you get home!
ββββββββββ
In fact, according to Carlos's plan, even if it is a storm, people who are stupid and quick should first report their disappearance to the Brazilian coast guard or coast guard, and if there is enough time, they can also conduct a search before the storm.
After all, he had arrived at the island as expected, and had marked the torn chart.
However, 7 or 8 days after the storm, the news of their disappearance still did not break out from Bobbi's mouth, but because they disappeared for too long, they were stabbed to the United States by their little compatriots in Brazil, which alarmed the American father, and then they knew that they were missing.
The question is, what does Bobby think?
Poppy sat on the couch in a restrained manner, directly opposite him was the black-faced American dad, the anxious damp Tom, and the expressionless Mr. Consultant, and Jacob's brother sat alone on the single couch on one side.
"Say whatever you want, look at what I'm doing, my own brother is also missing."
Jacob's brother made Poppy even more nervous, and his sister had personally made a video call to him, crying so much that her eyes were all gone, and she was as terrified as a female ghost.
[If you don't find Jacob, your brother-in-law will divorce me!] γ
If it's just a simple divorce of husband and wife, it's not a big deal, the problem is that the union of the two is an economic alliance representing two wealthy families. Hoffman is determined to divorce, and it will only be Bobby's family who will lose a lot.
The pressure from the entire family made Bobby completely confused.
"IβI don't know where they went, but on the 12th my friend met the prettiest kid. I smoked a cigarette that day, and when I became conscious, I heard the alarm that a storm was coming, and we should hurry back. So, we started the yacht and headed for the mainland......"
"When you started the yacht to sail back, did you count the number of people on board?"
Mr. Advisor interrupted Poppy. The latter's face turned pale, and he shook his head silently.
"No, I remember asking Lev!"
"Lev?"
American Dad frowned and repeated the new name.
"That's right! Lev, he's a sailor on the Venus, and I've put him in charge of Jacob's safety at all times! β
"I remember he came back with the ship."
Brother Jacob lifted his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and looked at Bobbi with a flat expression.
In addition, traces of hemp-smoking were detected on his body, and there were many traces of fun in the cab. I'm sure there have been many happy things between the two of you and the four beauties. So, who was responsible for my brother's safety at that time? β
"Mr. Hoffman, I feel compelled to bring Mr. Lev here, my boss and his classmates, five children with an average age of only 13.5 years, have been missing in the Atlantic Ocean for 10 days."
Lev was brought over by two black bodyguards. From his staccato words, he finally sorted out the approximate timeline.
On the morning of the 12th, Carlos and Amin stayed on the boat to fish, while Jacob and two other children experienced sea drifting in a wooden boat accompanied by Lev, which was tied to a safety rope.
By noon, Lev saw that the bottled water prepared on the wooden boat was half used, and the three children were going to float for another hour or two, and after obtaining the consent of the three of them, he swam back to the yacht alone along the safety rope, ready to bring a few bottles of fresh water back to the wooden boat.
When he got on the boat and passed the deck, he saw Carlos and Amin processing a large sailfish that they had caught, and they didn't notice Lev.
So he went to the kitchen to get bottled water, and met one of the beautiful women that Poppy had brought on board. The crew who has been living at sea for a long time has no resistance to beautiful women, or stunners with beautiful breasts, big waists and thin buttocks, and is pulled directly into the wheelhouse, completely addicted to big-hemp and sex-love.
The rest was similar to what Poppy said, and when they woke up a little, they heard a storm warning on the radio, and to be honest, the storm was less than 7 nautical miles away from them. The weather radar on the ship was directly ignored by the two people who were playing high.
By the time they realized that the storm was coming, the sky had turned gray and the wind and waves were getting stronger, and if they were all experienced crew members, they would probably be able to calm down and deal with emergencies. However, the problem is that one of them is just an adult, and the other is only in his early twenties.
All they could do was immediately find their way, launch the yacht and escape the storm. Fortunately, the coast guard was encountered by the third-third of the way, and we were able to reach the pier intact.
"I remember there was a piece of paper sticking to the outside of the cab door, and we were all indoors at the time, and it must have been posted by five children, but unfortunately the wind was too strong and it was blown away quickly. At that time, my head was not clear, and I couldn't remember what was on it, and it vaguely seemed to be a nautical chart. β
"Because of the escort of the coast guard, I was able to take stock of the things on the ship after confirming that it was safe, and the five children were no longer there, and the belongings in their rooms seemed to have been packed in a hurry, and a motorboat and a rubber boat for life-saving were missing, and they were unloaded by man."
ββ¦β¦ The safety ropes that had been attached to the wooden boat were stirred up to the deck, and the other end was disconnected. Sorry ......"
In the face of Lev's pale apology, several people present were silent with ugly faces.
"Why didn't you say it in the first place!"
The outbreak was Daddy Tom, who hadn't opened his mouth since they met.
ββ¦β¦ It's me who is afraid that I won't let him say ......"
Carefully looking at his brother-in-law's face, Bobby whispered.
"Huh, afraid? You'd better pray that Jacob is okay, or I'll let you bury him. Three, please come with me, I have informed the Marine Department, and I have also informed the local consulate, and helicopters and search boats have been dispatched. The Hoffman family's yacht is moored at the dock, and I think everyone would like to be directly involved in the search and rescue. β
"All night, you listened to that. Go ahead, you have to trust Carlos, he's no ordinary kid. β
American dad patted Mr. Advisor and Tom Dad on the shoulders hard.
The kid never did anything he wasn't sure about, no matter what happened to the three people on the small wooden boat, since he decided to leave the ship, it must have been calculated as feasibility.
