Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: Survivors on the Deserted Island

Chen Mo had some impression of the two flight attendants.

One of them, who seemed to be the more senior one, was probably the chief purser. Both of them remained calm throughout the entire air disaster, constantly comforting passengers, checking seat belts, and guiding them on emergency protection actions.

It wasn't until the captain issued the command to prepare for impact that they returned to their seats and fastened their seat belts, showing great dedication.

Seeing that they were still alive, Chen Mo felt very relieved.

However, the four of them were moving very slowly, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. The plane could explode at any moment. Without help, they might not be able to escape the explosion.

The survivors in the distance were either unconscious or sick, and the rest seemed unwilling to take risks. The three foreigners were even watching from a distance by the sea, showing no intention of approaching.

Just when Chen Mo thought no one would step forward to take the risk of saving them, a figure suddenly ran towards the four of them.

"What are you doing? Don't go! It's dangerous!"

The intellectual beauty beside the old man ignored the bodyguard's obstruction and ran towards them, helping the two flight attendants support the injured and retreating together.

"Thank you!"

The two flight attendants were deeply moved. They knew very well how dangerous the burning plane was.

With her help, their speed increased significantly. When they were halfway, they heard a loud bang behind them, and a wave of scorching air swept over, knocking them to the ground.

Fortunately, they had already run a certain distance when the explosion occurred. They were only knocked to the ground by the blast wave and were not seriously injured, although their hair was slightly singed by the high-temperature air wave.

After the explosion, they quickly got up and continued to help the two injured people move away quickly.

No one dared to guarantee that the plane wouldn't explode again, so it was safer to stay farther away.

When they got closer, the others finally saw clearly that the man the chief purser was supporting was wearing a pilot's uniform, seemingly the captain of the plane. However, his face was covered in blood, and his white uniform was stained red.

The other middle-aged man seemed to be more seriously injured, with a long wound on his leg that was still bleeding.

With the three people's efforts, they finally returned to a safe area. The old man who had been sick seemed to have recovered and was now sitting weakly on the ground.

"Su Wan, are you okay?" the old man asked worriedly, looking at the intellectual beauty who had walked back.

"Chairman, I'm fine," Su Wan shook her head and helped the old man stand up.

All the survivors had escaped. Only a dozen people from the entire plane were still alive. Looking at the burning wreckage of the plane in the distance, everyone's expressions were very complex, feeling extremely confused and helpless.

However, there was no time to lament, as there were still two injured people on the scene who needed treatment.

The injured person in uniform was the captain of the plane. The cockpit at the front of the plane was the most dangerous place during the crash landing. It was very fortunate that the captain survived. As for the co-pilot, it was clear that his luck was not as good.

The captain's injuries were not very serious. He had a head injury, possibly a mild concussion, and had lost a lot of blood, so he was quite weak.

The middle-aged man's injuries were more severe. The wound on his leg was too deep. Without suturing tools, they could only wrap the wound with clothes and tie a belt tightly around the thigh to stop the bleeding, loosening it periodically to prevent tissue necrosis due to lack of blood flow.

Due to the massive blood loss, the middle-aged man was already somewhat delirious. There was nothing more they could do but leave it to fate.

While the flight attendants were treating the wounds of the two injured people, Su Wan checked the old man's condition. After confirming he was okay, she smoothed her hair, which had been curled by the heat wave from the explosion, and walked towards the two girls on the ground.

The two young girls who had fainted from fright had woken up from the explosion. Seeing the unfamiliar environment and the burning wreckage of the plane in the distance, they hugged each other in fear.

The horrific scenes in the cabin had terrified them. Now, they were cowering like two frightened quails.

Zhang Xin and Xu Qing had just graduated from high school. Planning to study abroad together, they had joined a tour group to Los Angeles after the college entrance exams to familiarize themselves with the area.

Unexpectedly, they encountered an air disaster. Originally thinking they were doomed, they fainted from the excessive fright and violent turbulence.

The terrifying scenes in the cabin after waking up almost made them collapse, causing them to faint again.

When they woke up again, they found themselves in a forest. The plane they had been on had turned into a pile of wreckage, burning fiercely not far from them.

Just as the two were feeling anxious and uneasy, a beautiful figure appeared in front of them.

The flames burning on the plane gradually weakened, and all the survivors of the crash gathered together.

Having experienced the plane crash and narrowly escaped death, they found themselves on this unfamiliar deserted island. Everyone felt very lost. Out of more than 300 passengers on the plane, not counting Chen Mo, only 12 people, including the crew, survived.

The plane crash happened around 4 PM, and now the sun was already setting. It wouldn't be long before it got dark.

The wreckage of the plane was still burning and unsafe, while the beach was exposed to the sea breeze, which would make it very cold at night.

Where would the survivors spend this difficult first night after the crash?

After some discussion, they decided to rest tonight in the middle of the path plowed by the crash landing, between the plane and the beach.

That area was far from the wreckage, surrounded by woods on both sides, with no wind. As long as they lit a bonfire, they could spend their first night on the deserted island there.

The nights by the sea were very cold. Although the sun had not yet set, the slanting sun could no longer provide much warmth, and the air was already getting cooler. Without a fire, the night would be hard to endure.

Fortunately, after the plane exploded, there were many burning materials scattered around. The group also picked up a lot of dry branches in the forest, and the bonfire was quickly lit, dispelling the rising chill.

The group gathered around the fire, sitting or standing, and fell silent. No one spoke, and only the crackling sound of burning wood could be heard. The atmosphere was very heavy.

There might still be severely injured or unconscious people in the cabin, but now, after the explosion, only they were left alive.

The situation of the survivors was not optimistic either. The plane had deviated from its course after the malfunction, and even the captain didn't know where they were.

The black box of the plane was at the tail, now sunk into the sea, and it was unknown if it was damaged.

Moreover, its signal range was only 200 to 300 kilometers. If the course deviation was large, the search and rescue would be very difficult. The built-in power of the black box could only ensure signal transmission for about a month. If they were not found within a month, the chances of rescue would become very slim.

Additionally, sea search and rescue were much more challenging than on land, and ocean currents could also carry the black box away.

In short, the situation of the people on the island was indeed worrying.
