361.Turning Point (Part II)
Sayle looked back and saw Said fiddling with the radio transceiver in his bag, sneering at him, as if their grudge was deep.
"It's a bit higher here." Ignoring Soyle's sarcasm, Said twisted the switch on the radio transceiver and adjusted the transceiver, and the transceiver came with "Sha, Sha!" The murmur.
It's an open area at the top of the mountain, and the surrounding valley seems to be far away.
Suddenly, Said stopped and said to himself, "There's a signal." ”
"Hey, there's a radio signal." After confirming the signal, Said shouted at the others.
After a short pause, we ran frantically towards Said.
"Help, help!" Said put the radio transceiver to his ear and shouted into the radio for help.
"Buzz————" replied to Said by a murmur, and Saeed hurriedly removed the radio transceiver away from his ear because of the loud noise.
"What's that sound?" Kate asked.
"Echo!"
"I'll tell you what's going on, this guy didn't fix the radio at all, this thing won't work at all." Thoyle interjected.
"No, it's not, the radio isn't broken." Ignoring Sayil's sarcasm, Saeed explained, listening carefully for the signal before explaining, "It's something else that's sending a signal, so we can't send it." ”
"Where did the signal come from?" Charlie also asked.
"The signal is strong, it's close to here, maybe on this island."
"Close to here? On the island? That's great. ”
"This may be another survivor, on the same flight as us, but how could it be ......" Bonn couldn't help but join in.
Everyone, you say everything to me, because of this amazing discovery, everyone's emotions seem to be very excited, as if there are endless questions, I wish to find out who sent the signal immediately, even Thoyle, who has always had a dislike for Said, temporarily put aside his personal grievances and asked him a few questions.
"Let me adjust the frequency, wait a minute!" As Said adjusted, the voice inside the radio transceiver gradually became clear, a woman's voice.
"It's French, the French are coming to our rescue, and I've never been so happy to hear French." Charlie laughed loudly, and could hear how good he was feeling.
The others couldn't help but laugh when they heard him say this, and they couldn't be more excited by the renewed hope.
"I didn't learn French, do any of you know what she's talking about?" Kate asked everyone with a smile.
"Yes, yes, does anyone speak French?" Said also glanced left and right at the people around him.
"She will, Susan will."
"What? I won't! Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Susan hurriedly shook her hand and said.
"What? What are you talking about? You've been in Paris for a year! Bonn was in a hurry and walked up to Susan excitedly.
"I drank all day and didn't go to school." In this way, the brother and sister quarreled again over this.
Just then, another string of English came over the radio: "Repeat, 7-2-9-4-5-3-1。。。。。。 ”
"What's that? Said! Bonn shouted.
"Oh, oops!" Said lost his voice.
At this time, I was also in a hurry. "What's bad, Said?"
"The battery is running out." Said smiled wryly.
"How much time is left?" Kate asked with concern.
"Not much." Said's face was the color of earth.
Soyle shouted, "Susan, I heard you speak French, hurry up, listen carefully to us, we don't have much time." ”
"I don't understand." Susan was about to cry.
"Do you understand French? It would be great if it could, everyone is relying on you. Soyle was also nervous, and asked Susan anxiously.
"Repeat, 7-2-9......"
"That's weird, what the hell is that?"
Listening to a number in English coming out of the radio again, Charlie asked Said strangely.
Saeed didn't answer him, but handed the radio transceiver to Susan.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were full of expectation, Susan finally took the radio transceiver that Said had handed her.
Susan calmed down her emotions for a while, and after the counter on the radio reported "7-2-9-4-5-3-5", she put the radio to her ear again, and continued to translate:
"I'm the only one...... I'm alone on the island...... Please, come and save me...... Others...... They are all dead...... It killed them...... It killed them all......"
Until the radio came out with a "Woo, woo! There was no more movement after the voice, and Susan put down the radio transceiver in her hand and looked at the crowd.
"Sixteen years." After a brief silence, Said muttered to himself.
"What?" I asked.
"Sixteen years and five months, the counter records." Said Said.
Bonn urged: "What the hell are you talking about?" ”
"The time when the message is repeated, it's a distress signal, someone is calling for help, and if the counter is not wrong, then the signal has been repeated...... It's been sixteen years. ”
Now that most of the hope in our hearts has been shattered, everyone summed up, eat first, and then talk about it, at this time, looking at the green smoke rising from the clouds, Charlie told everyone what the captain said before he died.
"It's true that the situation is dangerous right now, but I'm sure the rescue team will come to our rescue. They will even be able to take a photo of your license plate with a satellite. Charlie's words were clearly self-consoling.
"It's a pity that we don't have any license plates on us." Although he didn't want to hit Charlie, Saeed couldn't help but take the initiative to refute him, so that he could better recognize the reality in front of him.
"Oh, you're pessimistic!" Charlie shrugged his shoulders and said with his arms crossed.
"No, none of us can say anything about it, we haven't figured it out yet, telling them will only cause a wave of unnecessary panic, if we tell them about it, they will lose hope, you know, losing hope is a very dangerous thing, we don't know what they will do next!" Said suddenly expressed his thoughts on the woman's dying cry for help.
"Then we're going to lie!" Although reluctantly, Kate said what Said didn't say, and Kate herself knew that it was actually for their good to hide it.
For a while, everyone fell silent again, and the dim firelight reflected on the faces of the six people, flashing with the beating of the flames, and a haze was planted in everyone's hearts.
After eating some baked potatoes, we decided to go down the mountain and tell the others the answer that we didn't find a signal, and when they saw us coming down, everyone gathered around, and I said, "You all know that we climbed the mountain in the hope that the search and rescue team would find us, but the radio transceiver didn't receive the signal, so we couldn't send a distress signal." ”
"However, we will not just give up hope, as long as we collect all kinds of electronic devices, such as mobile phones and laptops, I can strengthen the signal and try again, but it will take a little time, and for now, we have to carefully distribute the rest of the food and water, and if it rains again, we will use canopies and any containers that can hold water to catch the rainwater, and we will divide into three groups, and each group will have a team leader."
"The first group is in charge of finding drinking water, and on this island anything that can be drunk, including dew from the leaves and some fruit; The second group is responsible for finding electronic equipment; The third group is responsible for food, and like water, as long as it is something that can be eaten, it cannot be spared. Remember, don't go out alone, try to set off in a group of two or three, this is a tropical rainforest, it's easy to get lost, and don't go far. Alright, let's get started! Said added that he was standing on the wreckage of an airplane, and everyone gathered around him to listen to him say the above paragraph.
I decided to go inside the plane cabin to look for something that could be used, and Kate was with me at this time, and we entered through the broken part of the plane, it was very dark inside, and I turned on the flashlight to see the situation inside, which can only be described as messy, luggage, broken seats, oxygen masks, drink glasses, all the things that can be seen in the plane, and the corpses of people are scattered all over the cabin.
Due to the heat, the corpse had begun to decompose, and a foul smell rushed to the end of my nose, making me feel sick, and even I almost covered my nose and quit.
I gritted my teeth, endured the foul smell of rotting flesh, held a flashlight in my teeth, carefully stepped over the corpses, rummaged through each piece of luggage inch by inch, and gathered all the medicines in one bag.
However, we didn't find much, and I gathered all the supplies, in order to prevent anyone from stealing the supplies without permission, as for the medicine, it was given priority to the injured, and it seems that there is not much food left.
When we had everything in place, the sky finally changed its face, and suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and the rain was pouring down, and the people outside ran into the awnings to hide from the rain after setting up the containers for the rainwater.
