Looking at the collapsed road section that was hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters ahead, Yang Jing and the others shook their heads helplessly.
Chris even picked up the telescope and looked at the river valley in the distance. Then he put down the telescope, shook his head and said, "Boss, this road is completely destroyed. Not only is there a landslide here, but there are many sections ahead with longer landslides than this section. This road is unavailable."
Yang Jing took the telescope and looked into the distance. Through the telescope, he could clearly see that in this straight river valley that was several kilometers long, there was almost nothing to see except rocks in the area of hundreds of meters on both sides. The road that had been extending to the west bank of the river valley had long been shattered, and most of the roadbeds had been washed away.
The tsunami poured in from the mouth of the river valley, and even if it went upstream, its power was far greater than the largest flash flood. This was evident from the fact that there was no grass growing on either side of the river valley. Under a tsunami of that power, flowers, trees, roadbeds, and buildings were all like pencil drawings under an eraser, leaving nothing behind.
Even the landslide caused by the earthquake has now completely disappeared. Needless to say, the large amount of landslides were also swept away by the crazy tsunami.
There are still a few places on this road where the roadbed and road surface can be preserved, which shows that the quality of this road is good enough. However, no matter how good the quality of the road is, it is still fragile in the face of such a natural disaster, and is not much stronger than dogtail grass.
"Yang Jing, this road is impassable, right?" Gege asked in a low voice.
"It's impossible to go any further." Yang Jing put down the telescope and nodded. "Not only this road, but the entire island is completely ruined. It will take decades for the island to recover to its former glory before the disaster. Sigh... the power of God is unpredictable!"
"So is there no way for us to find the fourth hiding place?"
Gege's question made Yang Jing a little amused. What a brave girl this girl must be. Even in this situation, she was still thinking about the hidden place. It was true that people from the same family are alike!
"Yes, of course we can go." Yang Jing smiled and hugged his wife's slender waist. "We've come this far. If we don't go over to take a look, wouldn't it be a shame for all the worry and fear we've had these past few days? The fishing boat Uncle Guo sent to rescue us will arrive in the waters off the island in more than a day. There's a helicopter on board. We can't walk on the road now, but we can fly over."
"That's great! If we still can't find gold this time, it will be God's fault..."
"Haha, it's hard to say. After all, these treasure hiding places have been around for more than 70 years, and the treasure hiding places back then were leaked long ago. I'm afraid the treasure hiding places recorded in the two notebooks I found have also been leaked long ago. So, don't hold out too much hope for this fourth location."
"Ah? Doesn't that mean that all the suffering we've endured these past few days has been in vain?"
"How can it be in vain? This is a rare experience in life. Just for this matter, you can brag about it to your girlfriends and classmates for three years after you go back..."
"Go to hell!" Gege punched Yang Jing twice, "Who is like you? You can brag about a small thing for half your life..."
Yang Jing hugged his fiancée with a smile, "Let's go, don't wait here, let's go back and wait for the rescue helicopter to arrive..."
Before he finished speaking, a faint engine sound was heard in the sky. As the engine sound grew louder and louder, after a while, the group saw two helicopters flying overhead.
However, one of the helicopters obviously discovered Yang Jing and his group of people standing on the road. The helicopter turned in the air, descended in altitude and flew towards the crowd.
Judging from the blue and white paint on the helicopter, it was obviously a police helicopter. However, there was no place for the helicopter to park on this road, and the noise was too loud, so Yang Jing and the others couldn't hear anything even though they were shouting.
Yang Jing simply pointed in the direction of the villa on the top of the mountain. The people on the helicopter were smart. After pulling up the helicopter and hovering for a while, they flew directly towards the villa on the top of the mountain.
"Come on, let's go back and chat with these rescuers."
When Yang Jing and his group drove back to the villa on the top of the mountain, the police helicopter had already landed, and two policemen in uniform were talking to the old butler Lopez.
Seeing Yang Jing and his convoy coming back, a middle-aged man in his fifties who looked like a senior police officer hurried over. After walking in, Yang Jing and his convoy discovered that this middle-aged senior police officer actually had a distinct Western face.
The police officer had obviously learned the identities of Yang Jing and his group from the old housekeeper, so he came forward happily and said, "Bless you, God. I am so happy to see you are still alive. I am James Vaughn, the chief of the Calbayog Police Station."
Calbayog is the largest city on Samar Island south of Catanduanes Island. However, this city is located on the west coast of Samar Island, and Samar Island is also the third largest island in the Philippines. The island is full of mountains with an altitude of more than 200 meters, so this tsunami may not necessarily cause any bad impact on Calbayog.
Yang Jing and his friends shook hands with the director one by one. Yang Jing asked, "Mr. Vaughn, are you American?"
