Chapter 447: Urgent Mission
As soon as he left Xu's house, not far away, seeing that there was no one around, Luo Hongyi put all the extra things in his hand into the storage ring, he ran all the way, and quickly came to the meeting place according to the information and map displayed on the watch. A helicopter was already parked there, with an army-green jeep and truck parked next to it, guarded by a team of heavily armed soldiers.
He stepped forward and showed his ID and got on the helicopter unimpeded, and on the plane, Luo Hongyi found that in addition to the members of his team, their immediate superior, Commander Murong Jing, was also there.
"Report to the chief, Luo Hongyi returns to the team." Luo Hongyi stood up and saluted Murong Jing, and Murong Jing returned the salute, "Okay." ”
"What happened to your mother?" Murong Jing asked with concern in the first sentence.
"She's not sick at all." Speaking of Second Sister Tang, Luo Hongyi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said with a wry smile, "I sent a telegram urging me to go back, just so that I could go to relatives and friends to write an IOU and borrow money for my fourth brother's marriage." ”
Murong was stunned for a moment, then sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, don't be too sad if you want to open some." He paused, "Although it is said that there are parents in the world." However, filial piety is not blindly foolish and filial piety is called true filial piety. Even if it is a parent, if you should refuse an unreasonable request, you still have to refuse. ”
"Yes." Luo Hongyi showed a sincere smile this time, "I'm not sad at all if I think about it." He replied solemnly.
"It's good to open it if you want to."
Murong nodded and cut to the chase without saying more: "This time we are so urgent to recruit you to return to the team because we have encountered a particularly urgent situation, and a group of experts and scholars who studied abroad in our alliance in the early years are now interested in returning to the alliance to serve the motherland, but they have been obstructed by the government of country E where they are located. However, that didn't stop them from returning to the Alliance, and they contacted each other and unanimously decided to go back no matter how difficult it was, even if it was a detour...... We knew that it was a little late in the situation, and although a special escort was immediately dispatched to meet them, it was unfortunately a step too late. ”
With a long sigh, Murong Jing looked sad: "Just yesterday afternoon, we received news that the passenger plane of a group of experts, scholars, and their families, a total of 37 people, was hijacked...... Although the identities of the hijackers have not yet been verified, we are 90 percent sure that they must have a connection with the government of country E. ”
Murong Jing took out a world map and spread it out, pointing to the two large and small circles circled with a red pen on the map. Luo Hongyi looked at it fixedly, and saw that the two places were islands surrounded by a large ocean, and they were very close to each other. Murong Jing pointed to the two circles, one large and one small, and said, "These two places belong to the territory of a small country called 'Lu Emani'. Luckily, this small country has already established diplomatic relations with us, so this time your rescue operation will be able to get the maximum logistical support, and there are pros and cons, which means that your operation may not be completely hidden. ”
Luo Hongyi nodded without saying a word, looking at the two circles, he silently engraved the topographic map of the vicinity firmly in his mind.
Clicking on the big circle, Murong Jing: "This place is filled with a thick fog all year round, and any ship or plane will automatically fail and lose its way as long as it passes through the sea area or all the instruments and even the compass in the sky above it. Over the past 100 years, there have been many cases of planes and ships going missing here. It's so weird that almost all the planes and ships that get here are hard to get out again. Therefore, the locals listed this place as a forbidden area, calling it 'Devil's Island', and they usually did not dare to approach it at all, and they avoided it. ”
"You say almost, that is, there are still lucky ones?" Luo Hongyi grasped the key and asked.
"Yes, the only survivor was a lucky ship sixty-seven years ago. It is said that shortly after they strayed into the area, the ship was thrown into a storm and thrown onto an island with fresh water, but fortunately the damage was not serious, and the people on board were able to repair it themselves. And because of the sufficient supplies with him, after being trapped for a year and several months, he finally found the exit after countless detours and finally returned to the normal route. But the price they paid was also dearly, and only a third of the people who came back alive were the first one. ”
Murong Jing's eyes narrowed, looking at the circle: "But even those one-third of the people are not all normal people, after coming back, everyone found that most of the people were crazy, and only a few two or three normal people were also taboo here, and when they mentioned it, they would tremble uncontrollably and be terrified." No one could tell what they had been through there, and they didn't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky, and the only useful information the world could get from them was that there was a small island in an uncertain location within Devil's Island, and there was fresh water on it. ”
"Devil's Island--" Luo Hongyi looked fixedly at the big red circle circled on the map, and read a sentence to himself. At the same time, he began to quickly recall the information about this mission in his previous life in his mind, but he searched through the memories but found nothing.
There is no relevant information in the memory, which is ...... Luo Hongyi's eyes were a little solemn.
Murong Jing looked up at Luo Hongyi, and then nodded the small circle with his hand: "In the early hours of this morning, we got the news again, and here, the wreckage of the hijacked passenger plane was found at this location. The wreckage was found at the same time as the remains of more than a dozen bodies. Our latest information has confirmed that these people are the crew and passengers of the plane, but luckily none of our experts, academics, or their families are among them. ”
Him: "In addition to the dead people, there should be 123 people on their plane, including the crew, who are missing along with them." Among them, there are eighteen passengers of our alliance. At present, no trace of those people has been found in the territory of Lu Emani, and we suspect ......" Murong Jing tapped his finger on the big circle, although he did not continue to speak, but the meaning was self-evident. He looked up at Luo Hongyi.
"Are you suspicious people on Devil's Island? The island that the only lucky crew to leave Devil's Island had ever encountered? Luo Hongyi glanced at the map carefully, then looked up at Murong Jing again.
"Yes." Murong nodded, "There doesn't seem to be any other place nearby for them to hide temporarily." ”
