Chapter 225 The kidnapping threat and the hopeless Philippine monkey

Jack calculated in his mind that ten thousand square miles is almost twenty-five thousand square kilometers, and Hainan Island is only thirty-five thousand. Finding twenty people in such a big place is almost like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Are you sure we may have landed on Jolo Island?" The Chinese co-pilot's face became very ugly. It was still some time before dawn and the temperature was not too high, but his forehead was already covered with dense spots. beads of sweat.

"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he was so nervous.

"Jolo Island is the base camp of the Abu Sayyaf. The Philippines only rules the island in name, but in fact it is run by terrorists and separatists, and most of the local people are sympathizers of these people. and supporters.”

The Chinese-American co-pilot, who was said to be from Xiangjiang but had a complete English surname, had a slightly trembling voice, probably thinking of the bloody videos circulating on the Internet.

Jack also heard about the "Abu Sayyaf" organization in his mouth. Kidnapping and beheading foreign tourists is their specialty. Almost every year, foreign tourists are kidnapped in the Philippines, especially the southern islands.

The more than 20 tourists and crew members who had landed on this small island due to a plane crash were like pie in the sky. Jack could already imagine a series of operations after they were caught.

Men will be violently tortured, women will be raped, then filmed, a few heads chopped off, negotiations, and a few more heads chopped off.

Then after receiving the ransom and continuing the extortion, a few hostages may eventually be released, but the rest can only be reduced to plantation slaves and slaves used to vent their animal desires.

The slogan of this organization is to build its own religious kingdom, but apart from occasionally creating some bombings, most of its skills are focused on kidnapping and extortion. It can be said that it has already had a complete set of assembly-line standard operations.

This is really a big trouble. If given a choice, Jack would rather fall into the trap and land on the sea. Well, Southeast Asia is densely populated with islands and there are many pirates. Strictly speaking, there is not much difference.

"Do we have a chance to wait for the rescue from the Philippine government?" Captain Brandy, the fallen captain, looked at the two FBI.

Jack spread his hands, "We are the domestic FBI, not the CIA, and we don't know much about overseas situations. However, as far as I know, the 'Abu Sayyaf' organization mentioned by the first officer has been liquidated by the Philippine government for 30 to 40 years. , but the scale keeps expanding.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at the first officer, "Also, I don't recommend having too much confidence in the Philippine government. If I remember correctly, a bus full of tourists from Hong Kong was hijacked in Manila ten years ago."

The first officer nodded with a bitter look on his face, "I was still in college at the time and watched the entire Xiangjiang TVB live broadcast. A total of eight people died and seven were injured at the scene. The murderer only caused less than half of the casualties, and the rest were all caused by the police. One of them died directly from the hammer that broke the window."

Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing these words. In fact, Jack also knew about a more explosive incident, but this time was obviously not suitable to further stimulate the nerves of the crew members.

"Then what should we do? Do we need to hide this from the passengers?" Captain Torrance's head was as big as a bucket. Although the captain did not have almost absolute responsibility for the crew and passengers like the captain, he was still very different.

Although this responsibility is theoretically relieved after leaving the aircraft, in actual circumstances, the captain still has the obligation to rescue and organize self-rescue.

Neither Jack nor Jiejie would take the initiative to take over this kind of responsibility. After all, the lives of more than 20 people were at stake. We could only wait and see whether the captain could convince the public.

However, he still gave some suggestions, "Give me a map and I will try to confirm our specific location. But in my opinion, the most important thing now is to find a way to contact the outside world."

"Although the military and police here are not trustworthy, there are still many US military bases in the Philippines. Although there are not many passengers on the plane, they should all be from different countries. At least rescue should be available."

"However, in view of the risks we will face, it is best to collect as much supplies as possible first, take everyone with us and hide for the time being."

They have probably been discovered. With such a large plane flying at low altitude in the middle of the night, the residents of the island cannot be unaware. Someone will definitely come after daybreak.

Besides, despite the fact that the dirt road they made an emergency landing on was full of potholes and dilapidated, it was definitely considered a main road in such a poor tropical area, and maybe the place would soon become lively.

"Okay, okay, let's do it one by one. I'll go calm the passengers first, and then we can all unload the luggage on the plane and pick out useful things to take with us. I'll try to see if I can fix the radio."

Captain Torrance gritted his teeth hard and puffed up his cheeks, as if to encourage himself in his heart. Then he seemed to have thought of something and pulled the two FBI agents aside.

"I just saw you unlocking the handcuffs of the prisoner. Is that safe? I don't want him to do anything that would endanger other passengers."

"I will keep an eye on him. Instead of letting him become an unstable factor, it is better to release some goodwill first. As long as he is not hopelessly stupid, he should choose to cooperate with us."

With Jack's current physical fitness and fighting skills, a mere mercenary from an outlaw corps would not take him seriously, not to mention that Jiejie still has a pistol in his hand.

"Okay, I trust your judgment." Captain Torrance took a sip of the mineral water handed by Bonnie and walked towards the passengers gathered not far away.

Seeing the captain approaching, all the passengers started making noises.

"What's going on now?"

"We need an explanation. Can you give us a positive response?"

"What to do next?"

Torrance patiently waited for them to quiet down before speaking loudly.

"Please be quiet and thank everyone for your cooperation. It's a pity that such an accident happened. I know everyone has a lot of questions. I will tell you what I know so far."

"Several consecutive lightning strikes caused us to lose the battery and communicator on the aircraft. I believe everyone has witnessed the rare ball lightning before."

"Under the current circumstances, we have no way to make calls."

The passengers were noisy again.

"What? Don't we have any way to ask for help?"

"Are you kidding, how is this possible?"

"Please everyone stay calm." Torrance made a gesture of pressing down his hands and tried to raise his voice.

"After the plane cools down and there is no risk of fire, I need everyone to get organized, return to the cabin, take out the luggage, collect water and food, and then discuss what to do next."
