Watching the helicopter leave from afar, Tonghua prayed silently in her heart: Ruoruo, I hope you will be safe and sound.
After the helicopter flew to a small dot, Fairy Tale turned around and walked to the bright reef that was shining with golden light that she had just seen. Because the helicopter needed a flat place to dock, the place where Fairy Tale was standing was still some distance away from the bright reef.
Looking at the sea water separating the two reefs, with a rugged reef of ups and downs in the middle, Tonghua rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the reef with determination.
Although the two reefs were less than a hundred meters apart, the road was very difficult to walk on. Along the way, Tonghua not only had to be careful of sharp stones and muddy sand that could easily trap him, but also had to wade through wave after wave of waves. Later, in order to reach the reef, Tonghua had to physically climb up the stone mountain about two or three meters high that lay between the two reefs.
Although the stone mountain was not very high, Tonghua inevitably suffered some scratches during the climbing process. However, Tonghua did not care about it. He just took a look and put it all behind him.
Finally, after much effort, she finally reached the reef.
Once there, Fairy Tale's goal was very clear, and he went straight to the shining piece of metal fragment.
When she got closer, she found that the piece of metal fragment was much larger than when she saw it in the air. Fairy Tale circled around the huge piece of metal fragment, looked at it carefully, and compared it with the material of the helicopter she had just taken, and found that the two materials were very similar.
Tonghua muttered to himself, "It seems that this really is fragments related to the helicopter."
Then, Tonghua looked at it for a long time, trying to figure out which part of the crashed plane it was related to, but Tonghua was not proficient in these aspects. After comparing it for a long time, he really couldn't tell which part of the helicopter it was related to.
Finally had to give up on this.
"Let's look for other pieces of the plane. Maybe we can find something."
After saying that, Fairy Tale began to search for other aircraft fragments on this exposed reef.
Tonghua looked around but couldn't see anything useful for the time being.
Suddenly she remembered what she had seen on the plane, and Tonghua decided to find a higher ground with a wider view to find more clues.
Fairy Tale looked left and right and saw a group of ocean reefs not far ahead, among which there was a visible reef about ten meters high.
Fairy Tale plans to go up there and give it a try.
After Fairy Tale climbed onto the highest reef, she looked towards the surrounding islands and reefs and saw some metal fragments scattered in different areas on the nearby islands and reefs.
Fairy Tale went to check these metal fragments again and again, trying to get some clues about the plane crash, but because there were too few fragments, it was impossible to get complete information.
"There are only some scattered pieces of aircraft debris here. There is no cockpit or wreckage to be seen. It seems that the plane did not crash here."
After receiving this news, Tonghua was a little depressed, but she soon encouraged herself: "It's okay, even if it's not this place, I can still keep looking."
After looking at the environment of the surrounding islands, Tonghua decided to go deeper into the island in front.
Maybe because this place has been uninhabited for a long time, the depths of the island are covered with lush trees and jungles. As soon as Fairy Tale approached the island and came to where the trees grew, the brightness of the sky immediately became more than one degree darker, as if it had suddenly changed from noon when the bright sun was hanging high in the sky to a rainy evening.
The entire jungle, including the air, was a little chilly and cold, causing Tonghua to shiver involuntarily after entering there. The environment here was not only gloomy and cold, but also revealed a hint of danger everywhere, as if a beast would suddenly rush out from some dark place and bite people.
Faced with such a strange situation, Tonghua hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to continue going in to check the situation. After all, this place did not look very safe.
But when she thought about her husband Qin Zun's current situation, whose life or death was uncertain, and this was the only place nearby where clues to the plane crash might be found, she felt her whole heart was tightly squeezed.
She patted her chest and encouraged herself: "There's nothing to be afraid of. It's all just psychological. I'm just scaring myself."
Fairy Tale swallowed, strengthened his confidence, and walked towards the depths of the jungle. To be on the safe side, Fairy Tale specially broke a thick wooden stick from a tree and ground the other end of it into a sharp tip with a stone.
Tonghua tried hard to cheer herself up while carefully observing the situation around her.
After she walked for about twenty minutes, she didn't see any clues about the helicopter crash.
Just as she was wondering if she had taken the wrong direction and was about to go back, she suddenly heard a noise in front of her left.
“Dingda——”
"What's that noise! Who's there?! Come out!"
Tonghua reacted immediately, raised the wooden stick in his hand, bent his upper body in the direction of the sound, and showed alertness.
But the place immediately became quiet again, so quiet that not even the sound of the breeze could be heard, as if the fairy tale had been misheard.
Tonghua waited there for a long time, but no sound came. She couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that I was too nervous and heard it wrong?"
There was no one living here, so naturally no one would answer her.
After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no movement, Tonghua had to put away her defenses. Only then did she realize that her back was soaked because she was too nervous.
Just as she was about to relax, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the front left.
“Dingda——”
This time, Tonghua was no longer so sensitive. Instead, she pricked up her ears and listened quietly to the sound coming from the front. She carefully identified that the sound sounded regular, and it was made almost every once in a while. It did not sound like a noise made by humans, nor like the sound made by an animal passing by.
Only then did Tonghua want to find out the truth.
She walked through the lush jungle, pushing aside the branches and bushes that blocked her way, and came to the vicinity of the sound. The closer she got, the brighter the light became.
When Tonghua raised her hand to push aside the large leaves that blocked her view, the scene before her shocked her...
