Chapter 28: Search and Rescue
Under the influence of Betty, the beauty on the table of the press center, the sketch drawn by Yi Annie quickly spread among local tourists and travel friends.
At first, Betty just told the two travel reporters, "Hopefully find this place as soon as possible." ”
On the local hiking forum, netizens discussed that "the big girl will spend the night with anyone who finds this place".
By the time the news entered the local Chinese community, Wang Yuxin and Yi Annie had already returned home, and after comforting the two cats, Yi Annie suddenly found herself hungry.
"I haven't eaten for a day, and the hospital won't even give me a bottle of glucose?" Yi Anne collapsed on the couch clutching her grumbling belly.
Lulu jumped on the couch, spun around Iannie's lap twice, and curled up on her lap in a position.
Wang Yuxin spread his hands: "The doctor is afraid that the stimulation of the injection will forcibly wake you up and cause you brain damage." ”
"I don't care, I don't care! Bring me something to eat first! Anne protested weakly, then suddenly remembered, "What about the cost of the ambulance and hospitalization?" ”
"Alas, when it comes to this, I really envy your work! It seems that the insurance is all covered! For medical insurance, Wang Yuxin is extremely envious.
In North America, the high cost of medical care is a fact, and even if Wang Yuxin has a high amount of dental insurance from the school, she still has to pay hundreds of dollars out of pocket to extract a wisdom tooth. Generally speaking, the cost of an ambulance is not low, and Yi Annie doesn't have to pay anything, and the benefits of large companies are really not imaginable for ordinary people.
Wang Yuxin boiled boiling water and took out a packet of frozen rice balls from the refrigerator.
continued to chat with Yi Annie, Wang Yuxin's mobile phone suddenly came in several messages, and when I opened it, I saw that several local public accounts had posted. Click on it and take a look, the title is much the same, roughly "Shocked! The pirate treasure map of Nou Province has been exposed! "Suddenly! The pirate treasure trove of Nobel Province is on a first-come, first-served basis! 》。
Looking at the thumbnail picture, Wang Yuxin still feels quite familiar, click on it to take a look, isn't that the picture that Yi Annie just drawn!
In any case, under this miraculous manipulation, the location of the cave was soon revealed.
At this time, Noah also contacted the police detectives who knew that Noah's family was missing, and informed the clear location of the cave. At first, the detectives didn't care, that location was more than three hours' drive from Naya City, how could the missing person run there.
Later, as soon as he heard that the missing little boy Tom was also there, he immediately took it seriously. I have to say that the strange emphasis of this strange human rights society in North America, all the things that concern children are the biggest things. It is for this reason that Hollywood movies also have a lot of hidden rules about child protection, such as not filming direct shots of children dying or being harmed, and the same is true for pets.
In short, the police dispatched several police officers who were specifically looking for Tom, and contacted the coast guard to go to the scene to inspect first, and because they heard that it was a rock cave, they urgently summoned several experts from the Mining Association of No. Province to explore the minerals and asked them to bring professional equipment and rush there immediately.
By the time the coast guard arrived, the tide had almost flooded the hole. They dived into the water and checked for possible clues in the dark waters of the early morning, and actually found traces of human life.
Therefore, when the rest of the police and caving helpers arrived, they quickly began to search for the missing people in the cave.
Naturally, Noah rushed over there overnight to contact Yi Annie at any time. As an "informant" who had been in a coma all day, Yi Annie had to cheer up and let Wang Yuxin and two cats accompany her to keep vigil.
The search and rescue soon fell into a predicament, and according to the clues given by Yi Anne through Noah, several people should have entered an upward corridor on the right hand side of the first stone chamber in the cave.
When the search and rescue personnel entered, they found that there were many branches inside the road, and because it was washed by the current, it was difficult to find traces of pedestrians on the soft gypsum rock. As a result, the trail was cut off, and the search and rescue personnel did not know how to proceed.
Noah sent the news to Yi Annie, and this desperate tone made Yi Annie and Wang Yuxin lament again and again.
At this time, two girls who stayed up late were rewatching "Invasion of Darkness" on Netflix, and in the movie, the necklace left by a member of the Death Squad in the cave provided some information for several teammates.
Anne suddenly remembered, "They also have something that can be used as a signpost!" ”
Thinking of this, she almost jumped up from the couch and immediately called Noah.
"Noah, tell the search and rescue team that Tom collected a lot of pearls from oysters and shells before entering the cave, and the people in the cave might use those pearls as markers!"
Noah got the news and immediately informed the search and rescue team.
The commander of the search and rescue team looked at Noah with great suspicion, the person who reported the crime, who somehow knew the movements of the missing person and the materials on him. This is also too suspicious!
But in any case, the most important thing now is to find the missing people in the cave first.
After getting clues about the pearls, the search and rescue team found several pearls embedded in the cave wall, and finally found the missing person trapped in a cavity of the cave.
At this time, after a night of wading in the icy water, the weakest boys, Tom and Noah's grandfather, were almost unconscious, and Noah's father and grandmother were still holding on and not falling. Seeing the arrival of the search and rescue personnel, Noah's grandmother refused to leave, and instead asked the search and rescue personnel to find her daughter's body.
By the time the search and rescue personnel took the frail four out of the cave, it was already getting light.
Helicopters hovering around the mouth of the cave with their headlights on, and coast guard boats with searchlights on their headlights drifting through the three vertical rocks. Several rope ladders hang down the cliff, and people come and go all the time.
The sky was faint, and the sea in the distance lit up red, and the sea near was still dark purple. The morning mist on the surface of the sea began to rise, looming over the shoreline, and only dim figures could be seen under the headlights.
If Anne Yi was here, she would have thought of the TV series version of "The Mist". Because Nou Province is surrounded by the sea on all sides, there is often a thick fog in the early morning and evening at the turn of spring and summer, and the TV series "Mist" was filmed here.
With everyone anxiously waiting, several of Noah's relatives were sent to the top of the cliff on stretchers. Noah hurried forward, and Noah's grandmother was surprised to see Noah present. As soon as he turned his head, the search and rescue personnel holding Tom in the back also sent Tom into the arms of his family.
"How do you know we're down there?" Grandma Noah's lips quirmed, and she whispered the question in disbelief.
Seeing that his relatives were still alive, Noah cried with joy and comforted: "We'll talk about this later, you go to the hospital first to rest." ”
Noah's grandmother smiled and closed her eyes, her emotions relaxed, and she fell asleep in an instant.
After inspecting his grandfather and dad on the stretcher, and watching the search and rescue crews put them all into the ambulance, Noah got up, his eyes on the last stretcher to be pulled up, the stretcher was covered with a black nylon cover, which was supposed to be his mother's body.
All the family members finally came back.
Beyond the yellow line at the search and rescue scene, a black Bentley slowly started and disappeared into the milky morning mist.
Naturally, this large-scale transfer of the police could not hide from the local reporters, especially Betty, who provided clues to the location from the beginning, but fortunately, the location is very remote, so until everyone is rescued, not many reporters have found this place.
On the contrary, the news center sent people over at the beginning to provide real-time information for netizens who are concerned about this matter, especially the search and rescue situation of Tom, the little boy who has been missing for many days.
When he saw Tom return to his mother's arms, the Internet suddenly boiled.
Although Yi Annie can get the news from Noah, Wang Yuxin is still used to diving on the forum and watching on the forum, and by the way, she can read a few netizen speeches to Yi Annie.
"Noah's missing family members were all found in the cave under the cliff, and the previous thing about Noah's murder is completely wrong, right?"
"Why was Noah also at the scene, did they call Noah over when they knew that Noah's relatives were there? Or did Noah know that the family was there in the first place? I've started conspiracy theories! ”
"Why is Tom, the little boy who has been missing for three days, there? It is suspected that if it weren't for Noah's family, it is estimated that he would have starved to death. ”
"Do you think it's possible that Noah threw all the people he didn't like under the cliff? The little boy Tom's family is also in Noah's hometown of Naya City, and it is only luck that saves him. As you can see, there are still corpses that come in the end. ”
"But on the day the little boy Tom disappeared, Noah was still in school, I can testify to this, we took the same class together, because of the discussion in the forum before, I also paid attention to Noah a few times."
Wang Yuxin looked at the forum and picked out some interesting news to tell Yi Annie.
"Hey, what's wrong with the forum?" Wang Yuxin was refreshing, but found that this post was 404. When I went back to the forum's homepage, several posts discussing the incident were missing.
"So, did the hacker from before strike again? This hacker is really full of justice! Wang Yuxin stabbed Yi Annie on the side, it seemed that Yi Annie hadn't spoken for a while.
Wang Yuxin turned her head to see that Yi Annie had fallen asleep under the blanket, and Lulu was lying on Yi Annie's lap and made a slight snoring sound. Yueban leaned on the back of the sofa with green eyes, looking at Yi Annie and Lulu with green eyes, and then turned back to look at Wang Yuxin, as if accusing Wang Yuxin of not being able to give him a warm embrace.
"Well, well, that's the end of it." Looking at the morning light outside the window, Wang Yuxin turned off the TV, picked up the heavy moon and a half, and rolled out of bed.
