America's Road to Fame

Chapter 499 Rescue in action

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky had already begun to light up, and this small town in the Amazon jungle began to gradually wake up.

It's just that in this city, some people have been busy all night and haven't fallen asleep.

After arriving last night, the rescue team led by Ivanta and Roger Drey found locals and translators, and began to ask about the crash site they had determined.

According to the local Indian hunters, that location is already relatively deep in the Amazon jungle, and most people in small towns will not go deep into that place, because there are too many dangers in the Amazon jungle.

Only a few very good hunters would occasionally reach that area, so they found a hunter who had been to that place, and after the other party told everything they knew, they hired him as the leader of this search and rescue operation. wizard.

After dawn, Ivanta, who hadn't closed her eyes all night, was in a mixed mood. She was looking forward to confirming and finding news about Chen William soon, but she was afraid that the news would not be what she expected.

Finally, it's time for the rescue operation to officially start. Ivanta will stay in this temporary camp with some members of the escort team, while Roger Drey will personally lead the team to the rainforest to start the rescue operation.

Five helicopters took off one by one, and began to fly to the target location according to the coordinates marked on the map.

The distance of about 30 kilometers, in the air, has been reached in just over ten minutes, which is the reason for slowing down the speed so as to fly safely above the jungle.

When the helicopter team arrived at the target position, looking down from the sky, they could see a huge broken plane lying quietly on the bank of the wide Amazon River. The front half of the plane It plunged directly into the river, and the second half formed a weird obtuse angle with the front, and half of it was still above the river bank.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the team felt their hearts sink. They didn't know what happened at that time, which made the plane what it is now. From the fuselage, you can see many holes. It was like being pierced with a huge spear.

Two helicopters were left to observe in the air, and the remaining three planes searched for a slightly open place nearby in turn. It was difficult to land, because even by the river, the range of open space is not large, and the tropical rainforest is dense. Vegetation is the biggest obstacle for helicopters.

Fortunately, the plane landed by the river. If it landed in the forest, it would be difficult to find the Gulfstream G550 even with satellites due to the dense canopy of the towering trees here.

The helicopter can only choose to hover, and then lower the ladder to start lowering the rescue troops to the land.

The rescue team this time, in addition to an elite force of up to 15 people, also includes field survival experts, hunters and translators from that small town.

After putting all the personnel on the ground and transporting the basic equipment, the team assembled and began to march towards the wreckage of the plane.

At this time, 65 hours had passed since William Chen's plane lost contact, and they finally came to the side of the Gulfstream G550 plane that had been out of contact for nearly three days.

But when these people saw and confirmed that it was William Chen’s special plane—the faintly recognizable letters of "William" on the fuselage already explained everything—the local hunter in the team suddenly spoke up. , preventing them from moving on.

Roger glanced at the accompanying translator in surprise, and motioned him to talk to the hunter, and needed to know what the other party meant.

After the local hunter murmured, gestured, and pointed to the opposite side, the translator listened carefully and said to Roger:
"He said that there are footprints on the ground ahead, human footprints, and if everyone walks over together, it will cause damage."

Hearing this, Roger's eyes lit up, and he motioned for the field survival expert in the team to check the footprints with the local hunter.

After they surrounded the footprints with markers, Roger was finally able to go in and see the footprints.

Among the messy footprints of various animals, it is indeed obvious that there are human footprints. Roger heard the wilderness survival expert explain to him:

"This footprint, obviously, was stepped on by combat boots, and there are fresh footprints today, as well as footprints from a long time ago. According to the depth of the footprints and the condition of the nearby soil, we analyze that this person should be a male. , with a height of around 190."

Hearing the other party's analysis, Roger's eyes lit up, and he showed an expectant expression. This description is very consistent with William Chen's situation.

Next, the rescuers began to enter the second half of the cabin. The bad news was that William Chen was not found inside, but the good news was that there were three badly bitten corpses in the cabin, and the one in the water that was half dead. The inspection results of the all-bitten wreckage, no matter in terms of clothing or physical features, ruled out the possibility of Chen William among them.

To be on the safe side, the rescuers in the team began to put on diving gear and prepared to go to the front half of the submerged aircraft to investigate.

And a small team was separated from the team, and under the leadership of the local hunter and translator, they began to search for traces left by humans in the surrounding area, hoping to find the survivors of the plane.

Dangers are everywhere in the Amazon River, so the inspection of the front cabin of the plane was carried out cautiously. After about two hours, the front cabin was finally inspected and the "black box" of the plane was taken out and the body found in the front cabin.

They may have been bitten by fish or other creatures in the river, and the four corpses in the front cabin were also horrible.

However, from the clothes, it was obvious that the four corpses were two pilots and two members of the Southern Cross Guard.

And in terms of physical characteristics, they are also very different from William Chen.

The deaths of these people are also heartbreaking, so the rescuers packed the eight bodies found so far in body bags and will bring them back together.

What excites Roger is that so far, William Chen has not been found among the victims, and the members who walked up and down the river at the same time did not find any other traces.

Just like the situation when these bodies were discovered, most of them were fixed in seat belts, which shows that they still have time to take safety protection measures in the event of an air crash, and judging from the current situation of the aircraft , the biggest possibility is that the plane tried hard to make an emergency landing, but at the last moment, the plane lost control and plunged into the river.

Soon, the team that entered the jungle to search for survivors received good news. They followed the obvious traces of human passing, and found a simple wooden shed built on a tree half a kilometer away. There, they found two female survivors, though one of them didn't seem to be doing well.

Soon, they brought the two of them out. One of the women was already feverish and in a coma, while the other was in relatively good condition, and she also said that she knew the whereabouts of William Chen, so Roger hurried Met her in the past.
