You Xi frowned: "How could she know?" She suddenly remembered the way Meng Lu looked at Lin Wu that morning, "Have you ever come back here after you left us in the morning?"

"Yes, I came here to check on the helicopter, but it shouldn't be followed."

He understood what You Xi meant, "The fact that there is a helipad here is not a secret, but ordinary people don't know about it. If she is interested and knows useful people, it is not difficult to find out what I am doing on the top floor. The problem is that she

Why are you targeting me?"

"She should be targeting me." You Xi thought of her previous suspicious question. Although she thought it was ridiculous after the other party asked, the thought was not easy to get rid of.

Lin Wu patted her on the shoulder and told her about the captain of the rescue team: "The helicopter's early flight has nothing to do with whether she is keeping an eye on you. At most, it just happened to hitch a ride."

On the side, the maintenance man who hurried back to the warehouse ran over again and handed Lin Wu a walkie-talkie: "It was just repaired today and recharged. I will use this for contact in the future."

Seaman finally ran to the top floor. He panted, but only saw the tail of the plane going away. However, he was optimistic and after knowing the situation, he comforted: "The plane will still come back, but it can't be the first to leave.

Haha, it’s okay, it’s impossible to fly away and never come back, right?”

You Xi:……

Don't set up fgs randomly...

In the cold night, as the three people watched the helicopter leave, a snowflake fell on You Xi's face, followed by a second one, and a third one... Soon, the snow became heavier and heavier, like swirling cotton wool.

Ximan was very happy at first. Seeing snow for the first time felt very novel. But soon, when the three people came out of the building and the cold wind blew heavy snow towards them, Ximan's novelty and happiness completely changed.

Became worried and afraid.

Lin Wu frowned: "The snow seems a bit too heavy..."

"The wind is also like a typhoon!" Seaman looked fearfully at the dark night sky. The helicopter had already flown far away and was out of sight: "It's not safe for helicopters to fly in this weather. Do you want them to come back?"

Lin Wu was silent for a moment, then used the walkie-talkie to contact the maintenance engineer and asked him if there was any way to contact the helicopter: "The snow is a bit heavy. If we can contact him, it's best to ask them to come back."

Because they had to wait for news, the three of them didn't leave for the time being. They found a place to sit and wait in the lobby of this building.

It was cold, and there were several oil drums burning in the hall for heating. Many survivors who lacked materials to keep out the cold chose to sleep on the floor in the hall for the night.

At this moment, the violent wind and heavy snow outside attracted all their attention. Almost no one chatted, and everyone looked at the snow outside in silence and fear.

After a while, the maintenance technician replied that he didn't know whether it was because of the weather, but the signal was very poor, and the other party's voice was intermittent and it was impossible to hear what was being said.

"Try a few more times, the snow is too heavy." He knew the aircraft he had repaired by himself. This helicopter was a few years old and the internal parts were very old. Due to the limited conditions during this repair, it was not possible to replace all of them. All he could say was that it was

Try to repair it as much as possible, and add a few more fuel tanks, which will increase the load and make it difficult to ensure safety when flying in extreme weather.

Before the maintenance man could reply again, a tree in front of the hotel building had its branches broken by the strong wind. The large branch and leaves were packed with heavy snow and were slammed against the glass door by the wind, making a shocking crackle.

crackling sound.

When everyone in the hall was screaming in confusion, You Xi suddenly stood up and walked a few steps to the glass wall on the other side. The height of this hall was about four or five meters, and the wall on the right was completely covered with glass.

Large glass allows you to clearly see what's going on outside.

In the dark sky in the distance, there seemed to be a few sporadic firelights dancing. The firelights jumped several times and then exploded with a bang. Through the exploding firelight, a white machine body could be vaguely seen falling straight down.

Finally, with a loud bang, red fire exploded on the sea in the distance.

"It's a helicopter!" Seaman's voice was filled with panic.

The helicopter crashed.

That night, almost everyone on Wanghai Mountain didn't sleep well.

The strong wind whipped up heavy snow and broken branches and beat the window edges and glass hard. Many window panes in rooms two floors below were cracked, and some of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor were shattered.

Many people were awakened from their sleep. If they were in the north, such heavy snow would be called a beautiful sight. But here is a tropical island, and the temperature never drops below 20 degrees Celsius. Such a snowstorm makes people panic from the bottom of their hearts.

"Jesus, is this the end of the world?"

"Stop talking, quickly bring the blanket and plug the crack!"

"Mom, I'm cold..."

"Go to the rescue team. We can't live here anymore. Go find them and change rooms!"

"I want to go home, why should I come to the island! Wuwuwu..."

…

You Xi woke up from the cold. B&Bs on the island are all made of wood, and with large floor-to-ceiling glass, the thermal insulation effect is very average. She took out another quilt from the cabinet and covered it with her before feeling better.

She checked the time and saw that it was six in the morning. She couldn't fall asleep even when she woke up. She got up silently and readjusted her warm clothes.

In addition to the thermal underwear, she changed into a thicker fleece jacket, and the sweatpants outside the thermal pants were also changed into windproof and waterproof fleece jackets.

The outermost part is still the thin black long down jacket, but because the fleece jacket is thicker, the thin sweatpants are replaced underneath, and cashmere socks and waterproof boots are also worn, which can basically resist the cold.

The blizzard raged for a day and night, and then the wind stopped blowing, but the snow still didn't stop, and it continued to rain intermittently for two more days.

This was the fourth day after the snowstorm. She opened the curtains and saw that the snow had not fallen again, but the entire terrace was already covered with snow. The snow was almost ten centimeters thick. It took her a lot of effort to open the sliding glass door.

The snow has been frozen directly into ice crystals due to the low temperature. It feels cold and hard to the touch and cannot be pried at all.

She took out a basin of warm water from the Star House warehouse and poured it into the middle, finally clearing an open space where she could step onto the terrace.

It was even colder outside. Wanghai Mountain was covered with a layer of white. Inside this white, there were branches and leaves broken by the strong wind. They fell to the ground in random directions, making the ground a mess.

The buildings standing in the water at the foot of the mountain are also covered with white snow, and even the construction waste floating in the gray-black water is covered with a thin layer of white.

After the storm stopped the day after the helicopter crashed, the rescue team braved the snow to go to the sea to search for people, but as expected, no one on board the helicopter survived.

Yesterday morning, Lin Wu and Ximan came to meet them at the B&B. Everyone was in a heavy mood, but they had to make plans to leave again.

Now that there is no plane, they can only put their hope on the boat. They discussed it for more than an hour and made a rough plan. After that, Lin Wu took out the walkie-talkie and said that he had got the second one. The two walkie-talkies happened to be one on each side.

Easy to contact.

After noon yesterday, the snow stopped completely, so Lin Wu contacted them and took the tools to go to the speedboat down the mountain to remove snow and check various functions, repairs and maintenance required to ensure that the speedboat can be used at any time.

Their plan today is to go out in search of fuel.

You Xi returned indoors, closed the sliding door, and after a brief wash, she took out a piece of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and an egg-filled pancake from the Star House warehouse.

She opened the lid, and the food had the warmth and aroma of freshly baked food, which warmed her cold and heavy heart a little.

Before leaving the room, she took out a turtleneck thick cashmere sweater from the Star House warehouse.

This dress is tight-fitting, so the size is not too big. If it is worn by a child, the sleeves can be folded, and the hem is about as long as his knees. The high collar can also protect the neck and cheeks tightly. Wear it under a down jacket, and it will

Much warmer.

She knew that Yuan Qi had brought winter clothes for three people, but due to the limited backpack, she only packed round down jackets and down pants, and did not bring sweaters or down jackets. She and Yuan Ning only brought a down jacket each.

The temperature of the past few days was barely enough for a down jacket and down pants, but today's temperature is obviously not good enough, especially for children.

You Xi knocked on the door of Yuan Ning's room. Because of the cold, a cooking pot was used to light a firewood indoors.

The walls of the living room are piled with branches of various sizes. Yuan Qi is peeling off the moist outer skin of the branches and placing them next to the firewood, hoping to use the heat of the fire to dry the moisture in these branches as soon as possible.

Yuan Ning untied the blanket that was wet with snow from picking up branches, put it on the back of a chair next to the fire, and squatted beside the fire to warm herself up.

"The temperature has dropped too fast. We will set off early today before it snows to get enough fuel as soon as possible." Yuan Ning began to pack her backpack after she recovered a little. Since the helicopter accident, she has been feeling uneasy.

The temperature was so low that the survivors trapped on the mountain were terrified, but she always had a hunch that the temperature would be even lower.

"Lin Wu and the others know?"

"I know. I've contacted them and we'll meet directly at the parking area."

The berthing area Yuan Ning mentioned was where the rescue ship docked. It was different from the place where they docked before. The terrain there was better. There was originally a natural depression under the hillside. Because the water level was slightly deeper, the rescue boat could drive directly to the hillside.

There is no need for a rubber boat ferry.

Yuan Ning's medium-sized speedboat had already parked in this area under Lin Wu's arrangement. There were people from the rescue team guarding it, and it was impossible for ordinary people to touch the boats and speedboats in this area.

After Yuan Ning prepared her backpack, she once again told Yuan Qi not to go out, lock the door and then block it, and don't open it for anyone to come.

You Xi took out an electric shock baton from his backpack (Star House Warehouse) and handed it to Yuan Qi along with the cashmere jacket: "The clothes are for Yuanyuan and the electric shock baton is for you. If anyone wants to break in, don't

If you hesitate, use it immediately."

"Okay!" Yuan Qi grasped the electric shock baton tightly and handed the two prepared thermos cups to her and Yuan Ning, "There is hot water inside. You must be careful and come back quickly if the weather changes."

"clear."

Yuan Ning left the intercom with Yuan Qi and put her bag on her back: "Let's go."

There was still one-third of the fuel in the medium-sized speedboat, and there was also half a barrel of oil left from the last refueling. Seaman hid it in a cabinet in the cabin and locked it. There were about 25 liters in it.

After adding this diesel fuel, the speedboat can travel for more than two hours.

Fuel is limited. They can't go everywhere to find diesel without a bottom line. They can't even go to two different places. Therefore, the main purpose of yesterday's meeting was to confirm a location. The probability of finding diesel at this location must be above 80%.

.

Youxi's L Island travel guidebook listed the island's divided areas. Lin Wu roughly circled the areas that the rescue team had searched so far, while Ximan looked for suitable destinations outside these areas.

In the end, they selected a small gas station among the three pre-selected targets.

The location of this gas station is remote and hidden, far from the city center, and there are basically no residential buildings nearby. The most important thing is that the gas station is on a slope, some distance from the coast, and is blocked by slopes, so the possibility of being washed away is very low.

In addition, the slope has a certain height. With the current water level on the island, the gas station will be submerged, but it will not be too deep. As long as you are familiar with the water properties, the possibility of getting oil is very high.

The rescue team did not have many people. They rescued survivors before, and later rescued water supplies and cold-warming supplies. Fuel and fuel were not urgent needs because there were two gas stations in Wanghai Mountain and they took over the control early in the morning.
