Chapter 699: Deeply Rooted Love (144)
Everyone burst into tears again.
Liang He got up unsteadily and walked out, with Shen Congmo hurriedly following him.
Meanwhile, the last string of resilience in Gu Lili’s heart snapped completely.
Neo...
Tian Jiao...
Who exactly did this...
All night long, the rescue teams from Country S and Country V conducted a joint search operation.
Apart from over a hundred corpses, there were several severed limbs and internal organs, as well as traces of marine life gnawing.
Due to the magnitude of the incident and the high number of fatalities, it drew the attention of countries around the world.
The identities of the deceased whose bodies were found were quickly revealed.
The identities of those whose bodies weren’t found were also made public.
The Anton Family was also in turmoil due to this incident involving an heir.
Country V announced the crash results early the next morning.
Claiming that from an altitude of 10,000 meters, all 256 passengers and 13 crew members perished.
No one would think there were any survivors.
After all, from such a high altitude.
The perpetrator was clearly identified as the pilot.
With that, the case was considered closed.
But Long Yubei and Gu Lili believed the real culprit was someone else.
No matter how difficult, they were determined to find out the truth.
***
Just when everyone thought no one could survive a plane crash from 10,000 meters altitude.
A miracle truly occurred.
It was undoubtedly thanks to Antonio’s parachute.
He had brought his own parachute back to Country T from City A, planning to go parachuting with some friends over the new year.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy during such a crisis.
Antonio had been parachuting countless times.
This X587 aircraft was highly suitable for skydiving, which was absolutely beneficial for parachuting; if the plane wasn’t suitable, they would get sucked into the engine upon exiting.
Therefore, as soon as he accurately deduced that the plane was in trouble, he quickly moved with Long Tianjiao to the cabin door and initiated emergency self-rescue.
During this critical moment, as the plane plunged rapidly, other passengers saw the parachute and frantically tried to grab it.
Antonio and Long Tianjiao didn’t hesitate at all and jumped down leaving them behind.
Someone tried to hold onto them and ended up falling.
Thankfully, Antonio’s extensive experience with parachuting and his precautionary training quickly allowed him to deploy the parachute.
He and Long Tianjiao held onto each other tightly, watching the plane swiftly plunge into the sea.
Wind rushed into everyone’s ears, the parachute had to clear the sea surface; at that moment, all they wanted was to land as quickly as possible.
As long as they didn’t fall into the sea.
Long Tianjiao cried miserably, tightly clutching Antonio, overwhelmed with shock.
The parachute landed by the seaside, both of them were so shaken that their entire bodies went soft.
Sitting in the cold seawater, they cried and laughed.
"Neo, we survived..."
"Thank God I brought the parachute. Let’s quickly find a place with a phone to call for help, damn it, I’m never flying on someone else’s plane again! That scared the life out of me!"
In the haste of their descent, they managed to bring nothing but the parachute and their will to survive.
Long Tianjiao and he supported each other, not knowing where they were, and just walked along the seaside.
But the more they walked, the more endless it seemed, gasping for breath and not even a soul in sight.
Long Tianjiao was too exhausted to go any further.
Antonio kept dragging her along.
"If you walk or not, we still have to move if you don’t want to die of thirst or hunger here. Let’s find a place to settle down." Antonio continued angrily, "Just my luck, always bumping into crappy situations."
