One o'clock in the afternoon, in the Amazon jungle, somewhere.

After the forced landing, the Bayshore No. 9 luxury passenger plane fell into a state of "head high and tail low" on the broken trees and slightly undulating terrain.

Although Sollid had personally confirmed that there was no risk of an explosion of the plane, he let everyone out of the cabin, considering that the fuselage might suddenly snap or slide due to the pressure after some time.

Of course, even if he didn't ask for it, no one would want to stay on the plane.

First, the air-conditioning system on the plane has been damaged, and even if it is not broken, it is equivalent to being useless when the fuselage has broken many holes.

Second, more than half of the cabins were dead, and they died quite horribly.

Imagine...... A man, without a seat belt, was thrown around in a rapidly falling tin can, and collided with all sorts of sharp, blunt, hard, and harder horns and faces...... What kind of miserable situation will it be after this collision? It is no exaggeration to say that it is better to die if the bones are poked out of the body, and the kind of brain pulp and blood that sticks half of the wall, and then is pumped out of the machine by the vacuum force after the paste is completed.

Those who sat in the cabin at the back of the cockpit were lucky, because the cabin was the equivalent of the "first class" of the plane, and at the time of the incident, there were not many people in this cabin, except for Professor Rodrigo and Gimenez, the rest were the three female companions brought by Gimenez, an entourage, two pilots who came out of the cockpit, and four soldiers under Solid; On the one hand, they had fewer people and more seats, and on the other hand, the soldiers would urge everyone to obey Solid's orders and fasten their seatbelts immediately, so that all the people in this cabin escaped.

But the people in the cabins in the back were not so lucky...... People who work in the galley (yes, there is a galley on this plane, and it's quite well-equipped), people who secretly smoke outside the cargo hold, people who smoke in the toilets, and people who drink and play cards in the regular cabin...... Not every order given by Sollid will respond positively and be carried out quickly; There are also people who want to carry out the command, but there is no seat belt next to them, and they will also suffer.

All in all, although this forced landing saved the lives of some people, many more still died in the process of falling; Now 70% of the plane is not only not air-conditioned, but also filled with the smell of internal organs and blood, and no one wants to stay.

So, under the organization of Solid and Rodrigo, the survivors set up a makeshift camp more than 200 meters away from the forced landing. The terrified members of the excavation team and the men brought by Gimenez were able to rest, treat their injuries, rehydrate, and by the way, develop a bond with many mosquitoes the size of their fingernails.

And Solid and his soldiers ...... There's still a pile of things to do.

They had to call for help, count supplies, add refrigerant to the power core of the plane by manpower, move all the bodies they could collect off the plane one by one, bury them on the spot, and then take out the list of living people they had just counted in the camp to make a list of survivors, dead and missing as soon as possible.

It wasn't until half past two in the afternoon that Solid and the others returned to camp.

By this time, Soldier No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7, who had been working with Solid, were all so tired that they were about to lie down, but Solid was still standing upright, and he could not even hear the slightest tiredness in his tone when he spoke.

By the way, the No. 5 and No. 6 soldiers, whose whereabouts were unknown before, were also found by them; Soldier No. 5 failed to fasten his seat belt in time in order to help others at the time of the incident, and as a result, he was injured and fainted during the forced landing, but fortunately, with the protection of armor, he saved his life, but he had multiple fractures on his body.

And the number six ...... He wasn't so lucky, or maybe his luck was used in other ways; When Solid told the crew to fasten their seatbelts over the radio, Soldier Six was flirting with one of Gimenez's female companions in a toilet, no doubt...... He had taken off his armor at the time, so he was already a corpse after the forced landing.

"Sir Wilson." When he saw Sollid returning, Gimenez put down the spoonful of caviar in his hand (he asked his entourage to go to the hold to get it), stepped forward and said, "Although I want to get out of my current situation as soon as possible, but ...... I think you should take a break, even if you don't rest yourself, you can make your subordinates ......."

"I'm just giving them a break right now." Sollid interrupted before the other could finish speaking.

As he spoke, the five soldiers had already come out of their armor and ran into the camp to start drinking water.

Although they are thirsty, they don't drink fast, and they all know that it is not advisable to overdrink after exercising in hot weather, otherwise it will put a greater burden on the heart and lose electrolytes.

"Huh...... That's right. Gimenez wasn't angry, but just smiled and said, "What about you, sir?" Don't you have to take a break? ”

"There's no need." Solid replied to these three words in a very calm tone, and then raised his voice again, and shouted at Rodrigo, who was more than ten meters away, "Professor, please come over for a moment." ”

A few seconds later, Rodrigo walked over and replied, "What's the matter?" Sir. ”

Sollid turned on the mask and looked at the two people in front of him before he spoke: "Only the three of us know the next words, and when we discuss them, we will decide how to convey them to the others...... Do you understand? ”

Rodrigo and Gimenez are both smart people, and they understand sentences like this as soon as they hear them, and to put it bluntly, what Sollid means is-"The current situation is not good, and the three of us will discuss internally how to deal with it, and then decide what information can be shared with others and what cannot be ...... So as not to reveal the stuffing when the tone is inconsistent. ”

After exchanging glances, the professor and Gimenez both nodded at Soled.

After receiving a response, Solid lowered his voice and said, "This area ...... The existence of an interference wave of unknown origin that blocks all communication signals, if the worst assumption is made...... The distress signal sent by the plane before the forced landing may not have been transmitted. ”

"In other words......" Gimenez gave a rare serious expression, "the outside world doesn't know where we are now, does it?" ”

"Yes." Solid replied, "But...... Before I came, I was given the order to 'report the progress of the mission every four hours unless there are special circumstances', and now it has been nearly three hours since my last report, and in another hour or so, the upper peak will find that our team has lost contact with us, and the signal of the plane is no longer searchable...... At that point, they should be able to take action. ”

"That's fine, help will still arrive after all, just a little later." Rodrigo answered.

"Ahh Solid responded, "In a situation like this kind of lost contact, the conventional approach is to first find out the last coordinates before the signal disappears, and then use this as the center to send a certain number of drones to conduct an aerial search of the surrounding area; The ruined Bayshore Nine is an obvious landmark, and there's no reason why you can't find it, it's just ...... It's hard to say exactly how long it will take to find it, because we can't guess how big this 'shielded zone' is and when they lost our signal. ”

"It doesn't matter, the things in the hold should be fixed with rope nets, except for champagne and other things in glass bottles, eighty percent of the other materials can still be used, not to mention for us to consume for five or six days." Gimenez continued.

"It's twenty-six days." In the next second, Solid corrected the other party with a precise number, "I have already gone to the cargo hold to see, due to our serious attrition, the supplies that could have been consumed by the whole aircraft for about a week can now last for twenty-six days." ”

"Uh......" Gimenez paused for two seconds, then added, "...... So, with so many supplies, there's nothing to be afraid of. ”

The reason why he was stunned was because he didn't expect Solid to settle the account to this point, but for Solid, it was natural for Solid to "prepare for the worst" like this.

"I hope so......," Sollid muttered for a moment, pausing for a second, and then added, "but in any case...... 'communication signals are interfered with, communication with the outside world is impossible, and no one knows when help will arrive', it's better not to explain it too clearly to the others, so as not to cause panic...... At this point, he put on the mask of his armor again, "My advice is, tell them...... The supplies are still sufficient, so the excavation will continue as originally planned; Rescue and supplies are already on the way, but not so soon, and patience is required. ”

His advice was correct.

In this environment, compared to those objective factors, the "human heart" is the more terrible thing; Uncertainty and insecurity breed fear, which in turn leads to violence, abnormality, and foolishness.

Solid is a man who has witnessed and experienced many lives and deaths, and he understands the human heart and understands human nature better...... He knew how outrageous human beings could do in extreme circumstances in order to survive, or simply to seek "security", so from the beginning he did not intend to respect anyone's right to know, only those he felt OK were entitled to the information he gave.

"Well, I'll tell the workers what you want......" After a moment, Rodrigo scratched his already somewhat degraded head and continued, "but I seriously doubt that they will continue to work after this state of affairs." ”

"If you refuse, you will add money; You don't need to add too much, just keep it within three times their original pay...... Anyway, they're only a third of them now, aren't they? "If there are people who refuse to do it despite being paid three times, then you can be tougher and give those people a hint." ”

"Implication of what?" Rodrigo asked.

"Hinting at them...... 'If you don't cooperate, the chief named Wilson will most likely throw you into the river to feed the fish.'" Sollid replied.

"Hmm...... When you say 'hint', do you actually mean 'intimidate'? Rodrigo replied.

"Whatever you want, Professor." Sollid didn't bother to defend himself on this, "I'm just here to make sure the mission gets done, you can question what I'm doing, but I'm sure you'll be happy to accept the results." ”

"What's that...... I'm okay with that! Seeing that Rodrigo seemed to be about to continue to raise the bar, Gimenez hurriedly came out to play the round, "The people I brought will not disobey my orders, and it doesn't matter if I don't explain anything to them." After he finished saying this, he took the opportunity to change the topic, "That's right...... Sir, there's something you haven't told us yet......" he said, turning his head to look to the side, and then whispering, "Why the hell did we fall?" Is there anything that could cut off an entire wing like that? ”

His question is also what many people on the plane want to ask; Because these passengers can't see the outside of the plane through the equipment like Solid, even the two pilots who knew that there were giant robots tracking the plane couldn't imagine that the other party would have such a thing as a "ship chopper".

"All you need to know is that we've been attacked by a large flying machine, and as for what the hell is that...... Solid replied, "Huh...... I'd like to ask somebody, too. ”

At this point, Gimenez also understood that on this topic, even he, the "person in charge", was classified by Solid into the category of "not needing to be told very clearly", since this is the case, then forget it......

After this conversation, Rodrigo and Gimenez went to communicate with their respective men as Solid's instructions, while Sollid was not idle for a moment, and he left the camp alone while his men were resting, and walked up the slope of the terrain to survey the surrounding terrain.

He wasn't worried that the robot would come after them, because he knew that if they wanted to kill the people on the plane, he wouldn't be able to make a forced landing - he would have been chopped to pieces in the sky.

From this speculation, it is likely that the enemy's aim was to "let the plane fall, but not let the people on board die"; This conclusion may seem inexplicable on its own, but when it is combined with the equally inexplicable 'emergency excavation mission' that they are carrying out...... Things get intriguing.

As he pondered, Solid walked up a small slope, and when he was almost at the top, he stopped, cautiously observed his surroundings, and then stepped out of his armor and climbed a large tree with brisk and skillful skill.

He poked his head out of the tree cover and looked up.

In the afternoon sun, the endless dense forests and tributary rivers were massaging his eyes, and the fresh, slightly humid air from his nose was washing his lungs.

At this moment, Sollid only felt relaxed, and for a brief moment, he even lost his mind a little.

However, just a dozen seconds later, a sudden "vision" shocked him and made him gasp.

At that moment, Solid saw ...... In the far reaches of the sky, there was an eagle flying with wings, as if it had flown behind an invisible wall...... Suddenly disappeared into the sky.
