Chapter 152 You said she was dead?
After Ye Wuhen left, the fate of the village quietly changed.
The once peaceful village is now shrouded in anxiety and despair.
Especially the oldest female village chief, the change in her appearance became the most intuitive witness.
Her skin gradually lost its former luster, dark spots quietly emerged, and the traces of time were ruthlessly engraved on her face.
The whole face looked much older.
And those once strong teeth fell off one by one.
Faced with sudden aging, the female village chief already had the answer in her heart.
The master... abandoned them after all...
It turns out that the secret of longevity they have enjoyed over the years did not come from the magic of mermaid flesh, but was a gift from Ye Wuhen's powerful magic.
Now, with Ye Wuhen’s departure.
The magic and wonder of the land faded, and the gifts of youth and longevity were ruthlessly withdrawn.
They have to face the laws of nature.
That is, accept the passing of life.
"Village chief, village chief, something bad has happened! The island is sinking!" The villagers' exclamations broke the silence of the village, and panic spread rapidly like a plague.
Some of the middle-aged men who were forced to stay took the opportunity to steal boats and leave.
Some of them choose to stay and share life and death with the women because they are old.
At this time, all the people gathered in the street.
The women's faces aged rapidly, as if decades had passed overnight.
Faced with this sudden change, the women fell into extreme panic.
They hugged each other and sobbed softly, trying to find a little comfort from each other's warmth.
Facing the chaotic villagers, the female village chief took a deep breath and slowly said, "We once had the gift of youth and longevity, which was a precious treasure bestowed upon us by our master. But now, this gift has left us, and we must learn to face reality."
After saying that, she slowly stood up and walked towards her wooden house with unsteady steps.
There, placed is the portrait of her late husband, which is the eternal sustenance in her heart.
She knelt in front of her late husband, tears silently streaming down her face.
At this moment, she was no longer the leader of the village, but just a lonely old woman who had lost all her support.
She knew that this group of women could not leave this island.
Even if I die, I can only stay here with Devil's Island...
Soon, an international news that shocked the world suddenly began to be broadcast around the world.
"According to an emergency report from the satellite monitoring system, Devil's Island, located in the waters bordering Country R and Country C, mysteriously disappeared in just half an hour and sank into the vast ocean. This island has recently attracted much attention due to its unique geographical location and complex ownership issues, but now it has disappeared in an instant, and the safety of the residents on the island has also concerned countless people."
"According to investigations, there were still six tourists from Country C who failed to evacuate the island in time during the sinking incident. Their safety instantly became the focus of attention of the people across the country."
(Hint: Lan Lingchi and Yang Xining were considered to have “illegally left the country”)
At this time, inside a helicopter, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.
After hearing these breaking news, the faces of several men changed suddenly, and their eyes were filled with disbelief and deep worry.
Qi Lin clenched his fists and repeated the key words in the news in a low voice: "Devil's Island, it sank..."
"Oh no, my brother is still on the island!" Lu Xinghan's voice suddenly rang out, with anxiety and fear that were difficult to conceal.
"Call brother quickly!" Mo Junli reacted quickly, but he could still be heard trembling.
However, there was only a cold busy tone from the other end of the phone, and the same result was obtained after repeated attempts.
There was a flash of despair in Lu Xinghan's eyes, but he was still unwilling to give up any hope: "I called, but no one answered...Brother, is there anything wrong?"
"No...no." Qi Lin shook his head and slumped in his chair. His mental strength seemed to be drained away at that moment.
"KEN, how long will it take to reach Devil's Island?" Lu Xinghan ordered the captain.
"One more hour."
"Can you go faster?"
Mo Junli called a number he hadn't contacted for a long time: "Hello, it's me."
……
On the blue sea, countless helicopters and drones form a huge search network.
They hovered at low altitude, using the most advanced detection technology to try to find any signs of life in the sea.
The sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the sparkling sea, but it seemed unable to dispel the haze in everyone's hearts.
Qi Lin, Lu Xinghan and Mo Junli stared at the rolling waves below, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Because they had searched the sea for more than two hours and still didn't see any living people.
At this moment, an operator suddenly shouted: "Abnormality found! An unidentified object is rising from the seabed!"
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the display screen, where they saw a huge object with a faint glow slowly rising from the bottom of the sea.
As it gradually approached the water surface, everyone was surprised to find that it was actually a submarine!
"Hurry! Get closer to it!" Lu Xinghan ordered anxiously.
The helicopter quickly adjusted its position and hovered steadily above the submarine.
The hatch of the submarine slowly opened, and a figure walked out first. It turned out to be a middle-aged man.
If Yang Xining and others were present, they would definitely recognize this middle-aged man as Zhang Yaomin.
Before Devil's Island sank, Zhang Yaomin wanted to leave by submarine.
However, he mismanaged the boat and it stalled halfway.
Furious, he wanted to contact the company headquarters, but there was no signal at all under the sea, so he had to surface the submarine.
At this moment, he looked up at the sky, his heart filled with ecstasy, and then waved his arms to the people on the helicopter, shouting loudly: "Save me!"
Soon, Zhang Yaomin was taken to the helicopter.
Inside the spacious and comfortable cabin, Zhang Yaomin's eyes involuntarily fell on several handsome young men around him.
"Thank you for saving me. Are you from Country C?"
Lu Xinghan took out his cell phone from his pocket, found Yang Xining's photo and asked, "Are you a resident of Devil's Island? Have you seen this person?"
Zhang Yaomin took the phone and his eyes were instantly attracted to the person in the photo. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then he slowly said, "I...I seem to have seen her. She seemed to be a tourist...Before Alcatraz sank, she seemed to be on the island, but...but this disaster happened too suddenly. She might...may have died."
"died!"
This sentence is like a bolt from the blue!!
The atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became solemn.
"You said she is dead?" Qi Lin suddenly grabbed Zhang Yaomin's collar and said excitedly.
"Yes, yes..." Zhang Yaomin was so frightened by Qi Lin's expression that he couldn't speak clearly.
