Chapter 685: Locking Down the Exact Location
"Right, regarding the Deserted Island, I just took another close look at that map, and I always feel like these deserted islands should have been approached by people, they're not completely isolated."
"Actually, when I went out just now, I also looked up some information, and before, we have undergone survival training on a Deserted Island. So, it shouldn't be too difficult to survive on a Deserted Island, especially to find a person who has lived there for over 20 years."
"Which Deserted Island are you planning to pinpoint now? Or are we going to search them one by one?"
"Come on, bring the map over here."
With those words, she only gestured slightly, and shortly after, Lin Yaru quickly walked over and spread the map out on the table.
Earlier, Lin Yaru had already looked at this map more than once in the room, but she didn't know what the problem was with it.
She only knew that the Deserted Island's location was marked on it, but the key question was, which Deserted Island was his hideout from those years ago? For Lin Yaru, this was indeed a great challenge.
"Actually, I had already noticed a point just now, measure it with your hand, from this dock to this Deserted Island, possibly you can then estimate the distance in nautical miles."
"I know that, didn't we measure it before? And, from this angle, they mostly align side by side."
"But did you notice that there is one small island among these three deserted ones, which is the most suitable one?"
"What do you mean? I don't quite understand."
Anying's words, this is the only way out. Now Lin Yaru really doesn't understand what Anying means, and she is also unclear about the purpose of Anying's actions.
"Let me put it this way, if I asked you to choose one of these three islands to hide out on for long-term survival, which one would you pick?"
At this point, Lin Yaru just froze for a moment and at first, she didn't understand what Anying intended to convey.
But after some serious thought, if she really had to choose a hideout among those islands, then she knew nothing about any of these three islands.
If she had some understanding of these islands before, she might have been able to make a considered choice.
However, given her complete lack of information now, attempting to do so seemed quite difficult.
"I'm not sure about that, and I've never thought about it before. Also, I can tell you I always suffer from decision paralysis."
"Alright, then I'll tell you, I would choose the middle one, this Deserted Island."
"The middle island?"
Lin Yaru watched as Anying pointed at one of the Deserted Islands, not understanding the meaning behind it. Why not choose the other two Deserted Islands but this middle one instead?
"Firstly, this place is good for both offense and defense and there's room to maneuver on both sides. If you choose an outer Deserted Island, it's surrounded by the ocean, and even if you observe it, it's probably not conducive to their evacuation plans."
"You mean, only this location can meet that condition, right?"
"Yes, roughly that's what I mean. So, I've already approximately estimated on the map that this island is the closest to the dock among the three, and it is also advantageous for them to send signals. Also, have you noticed? Right at the center of the island, there is a signal tower poking out?"
"Oh, I see it. Indeed, there is a mark there, but I'm not sure what that signifies. Are you telling me this mark represents a signal tower?"
"Exactly, and that's why I feel that this matter might not be as simple as we imagined. If they really want to control the other two routes, then their coverage would just so happen to be within the range of this signal tower. And this particular island is not covered by any signal at all, making it an ideal choice for isolation from the world."
Listening to Anying's analysis, Lin Yaru just nodded slightly, feeling that Anying's points were quite valid.
After all, she had never experienced anything like this before, so revisiting it now might pose a huge challenge for her.
"So that means we can now basically pinpoint this location and then we can arrange our plan to land on the island, right?"
"Correct. It's indeed like that, but the landing plan can only involve two people, one is me, and the other is Ye Chen, but it's not convenient for you to go now."
"Why? What's the inconvenience? And my dad has lived on the Deserted Island for so many years, I understand his habits the best."
"No, that Deserted Island is uninhabited, so I don't know what condition the island is in, and I can't put you in danger by sending you there. So, we must be the two to go. Only this way can we ensure everyone's safety."
Hearing this, Lin Yaru fell silent because it seemed to her that indeed she might be quite powerless.
Even on the island, she might become a burden to them.
However, she really wanted to figure out what had happened on that island and she was also eager to know how her father spent his past 20-plus years living on the Deserted Island. This was also a very definitive choice for her.
"If you won't let me go, I could understand it in other aspects, but the key issue is, if I don't go there myself to see it, I'll truly feel remiss. I know you are very capable, and so is Ye Chen; he is also highly skilled. I feel with the two of you, having just me there shouldn't pose much of a problem, right?"
