The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 225 Kidnapping Threat and the Unexpected Philippine Monkey
Jack calculated in his mind that [-] square miles is almost [-] square kilometers, and Hainan Island is only [-]. Finding [-] people in such a large place is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Are you sure we might 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 beads of sweat.

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

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

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

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

Now the more than 20 tourists and crew members who made an emergency landing on this small island due to a plane crash are like pies falling from the sky. Jack can already imagine a series of operations after they were caught.

Men will be violently abused, women will be raped, then video will be taken, heads will be chopped off, negotiations will be made, and heads will be chopped off.

Then the ransom was received and the extortion continued. In the end, a few hostages might be released, but the rest could only be reduced to plantation slaves and slaves used to vent animal desires.

The slogan of this organization is to establish its own religious kingdom, but except for the occasional bombing, most of the skill points are focused on the proficiency of kidnapping and extortion. It can be said that it has already possessed a complete set of standard operation lines.

This is really a big trouble. If there is a choice, Jack would rather fall 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 of the Philippine government?" Captain Gobrandi looked at the two FBIs.

Jack spread his hands, "We are the domestic FBI, not the CIA, and we don't know much about the overseas situation, but as far as I know, the 'Abu Sayyaf' organization mentioned by the co-pilot has been confiscated by the Philippine government for 40 to [-] years, but its scale has been expanding."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at the co-pilot, "Also, I don't recommend having too much confidence in the Philippine government. If I remember correctly, ten years ago in Manila, a bus full of Xiangjiang tourists was hijacked."

The co-pilot nodded bitterly and said, "I was still in college at the time, and I watched the live broadcast of Xiangjiang Radio TV. There were eight dead and seven injured at the scene. The murderer only caused less than half of the casualties, and the rest were caused by the police. One of them died directly under the hammer from the broken window."

Hearing these words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. In fact, Jack knew of an even more explosive incident, but it was obviously not suitable to further stimulate the nerves of the crew members at this time.

"Then what should we do? Do we need to hide this from the passengers?" Captain Torrance had a big head at the moment. Although the captain does not have almost absolute responsibility to the crew and passengers like the captain, it is not bad.

Although theoretically this responsibility has been relieved after leaving the plane, in reality, the captain still has the obligation to rescue and organize self-rescue.

Neither Jack nor Jiejie will take the initiative to take over this kind of responsibility. After all, this matter concerns the lives of more than 20 people. It only depends on whether the captain can convince the public.

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

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

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

They have probably been discovered by someone. Such a large plane flew low in the middle of the night. It is impossible for the residents on the island to be unaware. Someone will definitely come after dawn.

Besides, despite the dilapidated dirt road they forced to land on, this impoverished tropical area can definitely be regarded as a main road level, and maybe it will become lively soon.

"Okay, okay, let's do it one by one. I'll go to appease the passengers first, and then everyone unloads the luggage on the plane and picks out useful things to bring. I'll try to fix the radio."

Captain Torrance gritted his teeth hard, puffed up his cheeks, as if to cheer himself up in his heart, and then seemed to think of something, and pulled the two FBIs aside.

"I just saw you uncuff that prisoner. Is it safe to do that? I don't want him to do anything that endangers other passengers."

"I will keep an eye on him. Instead of making him an unstable factor, it is better to release some kindness first. As long as he is not stupid enough to be hopeless, he should choose to cooperate with us."

With Jack's current physical fitness and fighting skills, a mere mercenary from an extralegal regiment doesn't pay much attention to him, not to mention that Jiejie still has a pistol in his hand.

"Well, 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 clamored.

"What's going on now?"

"We need an explanation, can we give some positive response?"

"What should I do next?"

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

"Listen to me and be quiet. Thank you for your cooperation. It is a pity that such an accident happened. I know that everyone has a lot of questions. I will tell you what I know so far."

"Several consecutive lightning strikes caused us to lose the batteries and communicators on the plane. I believe everyone has witnessed the rare spherical lightning before."

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

The passengers roared again.

"What? Can't we ask for help?"

"Just kidding, how is this possible?"

"Please keep calm, everyone." Torrance made a gesture of pressing his hands down, and tried his best to raise the volume.

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