Chapter 226 Self-rescue and psychological guidance
Torrance obviously had the same idea as Jack, proceeding step by step, first organizing everyone to work together, cultivating a sense of teamwork, and at the same time collecting usable things first, and then gradually revealing the current predicament after the passengers had calmed down.
While he was calming the passengers, the two FBI agents were also busy. Jiejie turned on the GPS positioning on her phone and spent a lot of power to confirm the current longitude and latitude with the weak GPS signal.
Unfortunately, although their mobile phones did not have offline maps downloaded in advance, Captain Torrance's calculations were not wrong after consulting the paper maps based on the latitude and longitude.
They did crash-land on that damn Jolo island, currently located not far from the southwest coastline.
Jack was thoughtful, his fingers slid across the map, and landed on the island of Mindanao, not far from Jolo Island in the north. There was a place name on it that he was familiar with - Malawi.
Just like in his previous life, at the end of May 2017 in this world, a so-called war on terrorism also took place in this city that lasted for five months. It was the explosive incident that he had thought of before.
Three years ago, "Abu Sayyaf" and "Mutt", another famous terrorist organization in the Philippines, teamed up to capture this city.
Subsequently, the Philippines assembled tens of thousands of the most "elite" troops and police in the country, including all six special forces, and also dispatched its only armored vehicles and air force. It took 150 days to destroy more than 95% of the city's buildings. Razed to the ground.
Marawi had more than 200,000 residents at the time, and after five months of indiscriminate bombing and fierce street fighting, a total of 180,000 people were displaced.
The official figures released by the Philippines are that nearly a thousand terrorists were annihilated, more than 1,600 military and police casualties were suffered, and 87 civilians died.
This outrageous and nonsense data is the same as the hostage-taking case mentioned by Jack before. It has no meaning other than fully proving that the Philippine government is a waste.
You must not sit still and wait for death. This is Jack's only thought now. It is unrealistic to expect the small airline to search and rescue. They will only know the dangers of this island better than themselves.
It is even more unrealistic to expect the Philippines. The only thing they can do is to bargain with the country where the hostages belong, get more ransom for the "Abu Sayyaf", and then make a fortune along the way.
The only hope now is to contact the FBI to see if a SEAL team or the like can be sent over to retrieve the people. The premise is that he can protect these passengers as much as possible and prevent them from becoming hostages.
Otherwise, once American officials believe that the risk of the operation is too high, they will also choose to negotiate with terrorists. By then, these passengers and crew will be completely ruined.
Jack could only choose to abandon them, transform into Rambo and take Jie Jie and a few people to escape into the tropical jungle, looking for transportation or ports to escape.
As the sky turns white, the sounds in the primeval rainforest gradually become lively, filled with the sounds of various birds and the roars of unknown beasts.
The temperature gradually increased. After confirming that there was no risk of fire on the plane, the flight attendant Bonnie and the other two surviving flight attendants led the passengers into the cabin and cargo hold of the plane and carried all the luggage out.
Regardless of men and women, everyone changed into long-sleeved clothes and pants at Bonnie's request to minimize exposed skin.
While some people may be vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis, yellow fever, and cholera before traveling to the tropics, there is no commonly used vaccine for malaria.
Fortunately, this group of passengers had just experienced the moment of life and death, and most of them were still in a state of shock. When they saw someone coming forward to organize, they subconsciously followed the collective action, and no one jumped out to commit suicide yet.
Jiejie was able to become the liaison officer of BAU not just because of her friendly and beautiful face. Her level of psychology may not be as good as other team members, but she is definitely more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
Especially when it comes to communicating with people, Jiejie is a master. With her joining, it didn't take long for her to receive a positive response from most passengers.
Unfortunately, the repair of the radio failed. Even with Jack's participation, there was nothing that could be done with the pile of completely burned PCB boards and batteries. The 50-amp circuit breaker could not save these circuits.
Because there were not many passengers, there was not much luggage, and there was not much cargo in the cargo hold, only some cold chain packaged tropical fruits.
Bonnie directly asked everyone to divide the fruit and eat it, and stuff the rest into the backpack. In the end, the food and drinking water collected were not much, and the fruit was also a supplement.
Jack secretly asked Bonnie for the passenger list and made a rough analysis. There were a total of sixteen remaining passengers, more than half of whom were beautiful Chinese, and the rest were from Canada, Germany and other major countries in the universe.
There were five couples, three of them from the three countries mentioned above, two female college students traveling together, three adult men traveling alone, and a black prisoner.
There are five other crew members. The three flight attendants, including Bonnie, are all beautiful Chinese. The captain, Brother Feng, is British, although he insists that he is Scottish. The full name of the first officer is Samuel Dele, and one of them is not. A native of Xiangjiang with a Chinese name.
Establishing collective consciousness as soon as possible is a top priority. The five couples are all well united and they crave collective existence more than solo travelers.
Two good-looking female college students are not a problem. They are naturally at a disadvantage and hope to be protected by the group.
There are three adult men left, and the youngest one is about the same age as two female college students. It is when hormones are on, so assigning some work and a few words of praise can make him work hard.
The other two middle-aged people may be a bit difficult to deal with. They had the most problems and complaints just now, and they seemed to be dressed like businessmen. These guys are not very capable, do a lot of shit, and are the most likely to cause trouble.
"Calling everyone together to talk, it's time to let them know something about the situation." Jack said to Brother Fallen.
——
"Why can't we wait here for rescue? Can't we just light a fire and release some smoke or something?"
"Oh, damn, I shouldn't have been on this damn plane."
"You're not making this up, are you? Is this ghost place really so dangerous? Can't I pay the ransom myself?"
"I also have friends who believe in X religion, and they seem quite friendly."
As expected, as Jack expected, after Captain Torrance explained the situation to the passengers, the passengers, especially the men, became all excited.
Two middle-aged men talked the most nonsense, especially one of them, a bald old white man.
"Please, can you shut up?" The most beautiful long-legged girl among the two female college students finally couldn't help but explode.
"He did his job and thanks to him we were able to land successfully."
"We should listen to him, he is the captain." This was the wife of the German couple speaking, and Jie Jie beside her winked at Jack.
"Okay, listen, our plan is to go southwest through a jungle to the southern coastline. From the map, there is a town there."
Captain Torrance interrupted everyone's argument and began to describe the plan discussed by everyone.
"We will be divided into two teams, and this officer Tavole from the LAPD volunteered to go out and explore."
