Chapter 741: Polilo
The chartered fishing boat arrived in the waters near Polillo Island in the middle of the night, but this was obviously not a good time to patrol, so it was not until the early morning of the next day that Yang Jing and the others entered Polillo Island by helicopter.
The Polyllio archipelago is made up of seventeen islands of various sizes, with the westernmost island being the main island and the largest. The island is home to 70,000 or 80,000 people, most of whom are concentrated in Polilo, on the southwestern tip of the island.
The fifth location recorded in the notebook was located in the hills a little east of Polillo City, so when Yang Jing and the others flew over Polillo Island by helicopter, they were really surprised by the changes in this island.
Catandunes was not washed away by the tsunami because of its high average elevation, but this Poliho island was not as lucky as Catandunes, which was really washed by the tsunami.
This kind of tropical island is supposed to be full of lush tall trees, but at this time, when viewed from the air, this island of more than 600 square kilometers looks like the head of a severe alopecia areata patient at this time.
More than eighty percent of the vegetation that should have covered the entire island has disappeared by this time, and the only little green that is left is mostly located on the peaks of more than 250 meters above sea level. It can be said that in any area of this island below 200 meters above sea level, there is hardly a trace of green in sight!
In addition to Polilo City, there are many settlements scattered throughout the island, with dozens of village-like settlements scattered along the coast and in the interior of the island. By this time, however, all of these settlements had been destroyed, leaving only the ruins of the land.
At the southwestern tip of the island, Polillo City, the largest city on the island, had been almost completely destroyed. The hills to the east and southeast of Polilo City are generally less than 100 meters above sea level, and most of them are hills about 30 or 40 meters above sea level, and the hills of this height cannot stop the waves of the tsunami that are as high as 40 meters!
Therefore, even though it is still more than 10 kilometers away from the southeast coast of the island, the city of tens of thousands of people was ruthlessly destroyed by the tsunami. The tragedy was similar to that of Bartow or Birak.
At this time, rescue boats had already appeared in the Polillo Bay outside Polilo City, and there were also many rescuers in the city. After seeing Yang Jing's helicopter flying over, these people raised their hands to greet each other.
"Boss, can we go down?" asked Chris.
Yang Jing thought about it, looked at the coordinate points below, nodded and said, "Let's go down and have a look, just land over there." Yang Jing pointed to the completely destroyed farmland, and Chris drove the helicopter to slowly land there.
In fact, when he saw the landform here, Yang Jing already had little hope for this hidden location.
Ciudad Polillo was a small port during World War II. After occupying the Philippines, he set up a military camp here with a squad of about fifty or sixty people. At that time, the city of Polillo was not much bigger than a small fishing village, and it was surrounded by dense primeval jungle.
But now, Polillo City has developed into a city with tens of thousands of people, and around Polillo City, several kilometers of tropical rainforest have been opened up into farmland, covering an area of more than ten square kilometers.
If the little devils had buried the treasures in the jungle at that time, then the inhabitants of this place would have dug up those treasures long ago when they opened up the farmland. And when the helicopter was circling in the sky just now, Yang Jing used the Sky Eye skill and didn't find any treasure light coming out.
Not long after Yang Jing and the others landed, several people wearing English words marked "rescue" rushed over, and one of them, a black and thin man in his forties, after seeing Yang Jing and the other seven or eight people, hesitated slightly before asking: "Hello this gentleman, I am the person in charge of the rescue in Polilo City, my name is Benny Carlos." Are you here to help with the rescue? Also, can we borrow your helicopter for a while? We found a couple of survivors over there who needed to be transported to the city of Luzon for first aid, but we didn't have a helicopter, so we ......."
Yang Jing shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, I didn't come to the rescue, I just came to see if one of my relatives still survived." Unfortunately, that relative of mine is no longer available. ”
"Very sorry, sir. Benny Carlos drew a cross on his chest, "Sir, your helicopter ......."
Yang Jing shook his head again and said, "I'm sorry, my helicopter can't be lent to you, I have more important things to do, so you can't borrow my helicopter." ”
As soon as Yang Jing's voice fell, a young man next to Benny Carlos immediately said angrily: "Why are you like this? Do you still have a little mercy? Now it is a matter of human life, what is the matter with your helicopter?" ”
The young man's words made Benny Carlos hesitate, and it was clear that he had such power.
Yang Jing said lightly: "Mr. Carlos, I advise you not to do this. You may not know if we are also the ones who have been trapped on Catandunes Island for days, or if we have contacted the outside world myself and paid to hire a helicopter from the outside world to pick us up. Where were you when we were trapped, and now you want to requisition my helicopter, how can it be so good?"
As he spoke, Yang Jing nodded at Chris, and suddenly, six guns were raised, although they did not aim their guns at Benny Carlos, but they were also startled, and they all subconsciously raised their hands.
"Young people, in the future, it is best to think about it before speaking, and don't talk nonsense, otherwise it is easy to cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings. With that, Yang Jing turned his head and said, "Let's go, there is no need to stay here." ”
Gege took Yang Jing's arm and walked towards the helicopter, and Chris and the others retreated vigilantly with guns.
After Yang Jing and their helicopter flew away, the young man said unwillingly: "Do you just let them go? We can now notify the coast guard immediately and detain their helicopter." Damn it, dare to scare me with a gun, I must ......"
"Shut up!" Benny Carlos shouted, "Santos, don't you see who that young man is? How can you and I afford to have six armed bodyguards to protect you? Don't look at your father as a councillor for the South Tagalo region, but even if your father comes here, he can't afford to mess with that young man." So, if you don't want to get your father in trouble, it's best not to say anything like that again. ”
The young man was directly frightened by Carlos's voice, and he didn't expect Carlos, who had always been kind to him, to lose his temper so much.
However, this young man also knew Carlos's identity, and he did not dare to complain about Carlos.
Seeing that the young man was no longer stabbed, Carlos shook his head and said gently: "This young man is definitely not simple, if what he just said is true, he can get out of trouble from Catandunes Island with his own ability, this is definitely not a rich man in the ordinary sense, and his bodyguards are all Americans, which proves that this young man's identity is not good." Santos, that young man is not something we can offend. ”
"Teacher, I know it's wrong. ”
"Well, let's go back and see if we can find more survivors. This damn tsunami ......"
This small accident did not stop Yang Jing from moving forward. After returning to the ship, Yang Jing said to Terry: "Terry, you and the boat go behind, I will take some people directly to the city of San Fernando on Luzon by helicopter, and we will meet there." ”
"Boss, what are you ......?" asked Terry, puzzled.
"Don't ask so much, I have limited time, so I can't follow the ship so slowly. That's it, I'll go now!"
