The scenic area administrator explained for a long time in a hurry and finally explained everything.
Now, the teachers of Tan Zhou University of Fine Arts were sending messages to the students one by one. So far, eight students had been confirmed to have participated in this mountain painting activity.
One of the male students should be a local of Anya. Some students looked through his circle of friends and found the same scenic spot photo that he had taken last year with the local students of Tan Zhou.
These people had been out of contact for two days.
After losing contact for two days, the police station could already speculate that these students were trapped in a location near the Anya scenic spot.
Because after retrieving the network information of these people's mobile phones, they found that the last place they were connected to was the observation base station in the scenic spot.
The Anya geological scenic spot covered an area of more than 150 square kilometers. There were more than 100 large and small mountains and seven karst caves in the scenic spot.
Now, only a tourist sightseeing area of less than 20 square kilometers had been developed in the scenic spot. Only one karst cave had been developed. It was the Anya Karst Cave, which had the reputation of "the first cave in Chuan Province."
In other words, only a 20 square kilometer area of the scenic spot had mobile signal coverage.
These students' mobile phones had collectively left the network. There was a high probability that they had walked into an area with no signal coverage under the lead of the local student.
These students were carrying sketchboards into the mountains to paint, not professional outdoor equipment to play survival in the wilderness.
They had not come out for two days. It was 100% because they had encountered an irresistible force.
Of course.
There was another possibility that the police station did not say.
There was a possibility that they had encountered an accident.
This possibility was very small. Without external factors, the probability of eight people being killed at the same time was even smaller than five million. If they encountered a gangster, one of the eight people would not be unable to escape.
Besides, there were no natural treasures in the scenic spot. How could there be a gang of gangsters looking for work here?
"Could this group of students have fallen into a cave?" After listening to the staff's description, Director Ding suppressed his previous anger and said doubtfully, "When I was here with the crew to explore the scenery, I saw two bottomless caves."
"No, no …"
"If they had fallen, it would be impossible for all eight of them to fall together. Those who did not fall would definitely ask the staff of the scenic spot for help."
The staff waved his hand and said, "And we have sent people to the Anya Karst Cave to look for them. There is no one inside."
"Now, we can only ask for your help. Didn't you take a plane to film the scene?"
"Can you help me find these students? You can charge the cost of the plane, and the parents will definitely pay for it."
This was not a matter of money. After Director Ding heard that many students were missing, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent.
"I can't make that decision." Director Ding shook his head. "You've seen the few aircraft parked on the observation platform. That's the Banshee aircraft from Skynet. They transported the props yesterday, and it won't be long before these aircraft return to the airport to participate in commercial operations. "
"Only one aircraft will be left at the scene for our crew."
"Besides, it's not suitable to use such a large commercial aircraft to search the mountains."
The staff member timidly pointed at the magically modified black aircraft. "Then … then what about the smaller one behind you?"
"This aircraft is a filming prop. I can only use it during the filming." Director Ding sighed. "How about this, I'll ask for instructions from Monster Industries."
…
A few hours later, no less than 30 people gathered on the observation platform.
These people included exhausted staff members of the scenic area, local Forestry Bureau personnel, local forest fire control headquarters personnel, and a few local students' family members gathered together and kept wiping away their tears.
The crew allocated a foldable canopy, and now the foldable canopy became the temporary headquarters of the search team.
A map of the Anya scenic area was spread out on a stainless steel folding table. The staff member who rushed into the filming site not long ago was using a red pen to draw small circles on the map.
"Chief Wang, we've already searched the eight circled hills this morning. Other than picking up some trash left by the tourists, we didn't find anything else."
The one called Chief Wang was a middle-aged man with dark skin and rough skin.
His name was Wang Chailong, the chief of the Anya County Forest Fire Department.
Chief Wang looked at the people standing in the canopy. They were all familiar faces, and there were no reporters or family members of the missing students.
"This bunch of brainless idiots."
Chief Wang took the pen and drew circles on the other hills while cursing, "Last year, there were two bullsh * t guys who came here to play some kind of survival game. In the end, it took us five days to find them."
"These two guys were so careless that they only brought a few packs of compressed biscuits. When they were found in a valley, they were so hungry that they started to smash dead trees with rocks, saying that they were looking for palm weevils larvae to eat."
"Oh my god."
"They were looking for African palm weevils larvae in our Anya scenic area in Chuan Province?" Chief Wang's face showed an expression of disbelief. "I asked them if they were crazy from hunger."
"They collapsed next to the dead tree and said that this was what Bear Grylls taught them. You can find fat and big weevils larvae by smashing the dead tree trunk with stones."
"After removing the head, it tastes like chicken, and the protein is five times more than beef …"
After that, Chief Wang put down the pen.
He added four more circles on the map.
Each circle represented a mountain. This was the result of the forest fire department's morning search.
Chief Wang Chailong had been in the forest fire department here for more than ten years. He spent one-third of his time in the mountains.
Chief Wang knew the mountains better than anyone else in the scenic area.
Therefore, every time there was a missing tourist around the scenic area, Chief Wang was in charge of the search team.
So far, he had participated in no less than thirty search missions.
Two-thirds of the people who completed these missions were eventually rescued by the search team. But for the other one-third, their bodies were either found, or their bodies could not be found at all.
Although he was scolding, Section Chief Wang was also burning with anxiety.
This time, there were eight missing students, five boys and three girls. This was the most difficult search mission he had encountered in his career.
"Chief Wang, Monster Industries has agreed to provide us with an aircraft to conduct an aerial search."
The staff of the scenic area rubbed his forehead. "Chief, hurry up and arrange the search mission for the afternoon."
"Sigh!"
Chief Wang sighed heavily. "This is difficult!"
"In this terrible weather, who knows if there will be a torrential rain in the next moment."
"We can only seize the time and search around the scenic area. First, search Fo Guang Mountain, Black Fish Peak, and Shuiping Mountain. These are the three mountains where tourists are most likely to go missing."
"Everyone, take a simple rest and set off. If there are no clues by five o 'clock in the evening, everyone must return to camp."
The staff of the scenic area and the people from the Forestry Bureau nodded at the same time.
In the morning, they searched twelve mountains.
But in the afternoon, they could only search three mountains.
Because the mountains in the morning had been developed into scenic areas, there were winding paths for walking up and down the mountains. More than thirty people had searched all of them in the morning.
The three mountains in the afternoon were all primitive mountains that had been included in the scenic development plan but had not yet begun to build plank roads.
Being able to search all three mountains was already the best plan.
Once there was a rainstorm, they would not even be able to search half of the mountains.
After arranging the search route, Chief Wang stood in front of the map and pondered for a moment. Then, he drew a winding triangular search route on another map the size of an A4 paper.
This was for the pilot.
Thanks to Monster Industries for providing them with a small aircraft, they did not even ask for a search fee. They only asked the scenic area to provide them with a free charging power source.
Now, they could only pray that the pilot would find something.
Otherwise, when the families of the missing students and the reporters arrived in the evening …
…
Searching in the mountains was a very difficult and dangerous job.
Taking advantage of the break, Chief Wang and the search team finished their boxed lunches together and packed their equipment to prepare to enter the mountains.
In addition to the necessary clothes, the team members also had to bring food and drinking water that could last an individual for two days, climbing ropes, first aid medicine, and so on. There were many things that were prepared for the people who were trapped. In total, the weight of all of them added up to 15 kilograms.
"Everyone, remember, if you don't find anything by five o 'clock in the evening, you must go back."
"If there is a rainstorm, based on your current situation, decide whether to wait for the rain to stop or go back."
