The Polillo Island that Yang Jing mentioned is an archipelago off the northeast coast of the Philippines. It is called the Polillo Islands, located north of Ramon Bay, across the Polillo Strait from Luzon Island. The fifth hidden location recorded in the notebook is on Polillo Island, the main island of the Polillo Islands. It is only more than 170 nautical miles away from Catanduanes Island. At the speed of this fishing boat, it can be reached in about twelve hours.
Since it was so close, Yang Jing wanted to go over and take a look. The boats and helicopters were ready, which was much more convenient than renting a car or helicopter in Polillo City. As for the rental of fishing boats and helicopters, that was a small matter, especially after experiencing a series of natural disasters. Yang Jing just wanted to find all the remaining locations quickly and leave this damn place.
Yang Jing planned to do so, but Terry shook his head and said, "Boss, if you want to go to Polillo Island, I suggest you not go there. That island is even worse than this one. When you went out just now, I learned a lot about the disaster through the ship's radio. The Philippines is in a terrible situation this time. Not only are the southern islands severely affected, but even the east coast of Luzon Island in the north has suffered heavy losses in the tsunami. As for Polillo Island, which you want to go to, it has been completely washed away by the tsunami."
Yang Jing was stunned when he heard this, and asked in disbelief: "Polillo Island was washed away by a tsunami? Is it that serious?"
"Yes, Boss. Polillo Island and the entire Polillo Archipelago are completely destroyed. Polillo Island is mostly hills with an altitude of 100 to 200 meters, and the island is smaller than Catanduanes Island. So when the tsunami came, those low hills did not block the tsunami from the east coast. The 17 islands of the entire Polillo Archipelago have all been washed by the tsunami. It is said that even Polillo City, the largest city on Polillo Island, was almost completely destroyed by the tsunami. Even though the city is located on the west coast of Polillo Island, the widest part of the southern part of Polillo Island is only more than ten kilometers wide, so even that city did not escape the tsunami."
"Also, if it weren't for the Sierra Madre Mountains in the east of Luzon that acted as a barrier to block the tsunami, the entire Luzon Island might have been washed away, and Manila wouldn't have been saved! The power of this tsunami is too great."
Yang Jing shook his head speechlessly. Only then did he realize that the disaster caused by the tsunami was far greater than he had imagined.
Terry added: "Boss, I think you may have underestimated the disaster caused by this tsunami. According to the data currently available, the losses and the number of deaths and missing persons caused by this tsunami are greater than those caused by the Indian Ocean tsunami more than ten years ago. Many countries have now reported the number of deaths and missing persons due to this tsunami. The Philippines is the worst hit, and Indonesia to the south is also severely affected. More than 10,000 people have died or disappeared in that country in this tsunami. In addition, China's treasure island has also suffered considerable losses, and even China's southeastern coast has suffered great losses. It is said that when the tsunami reached the coast of China, it was still seven or eight meters high. In addition, there have been reports of deaths and missing persons in Japan, Papua New Guinea, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Even Hawaii, thousands of kilometers away, saw a tsunami more than two meters high..."
After Terry said this, Yang Jing finally realized that he had really underestimated the tsunami.
He really didn't expect that the tsunami would be so destructive. Hawaii is more than 8,000 kilometers away from here, and this tsunami could actually cause a tsunami more than two meters high in Hawaii, more than 8,000 kilometers away. This is simply incredible.
But this also further proves the power of this tsunami.
This sudden news made Yang Jing a little confused, but after thinking about it, he said: "Let's go and take a look. Since we have come this far, let's continue walking for a few more days."
"Okay Boss, I'll arrange it right away."
Yang Jing nodded, turned and walked towards the cabin.
