“How is it? is it good news?”

“I heard that it’s a fighter jet from World War II. It’s called a Hellcat fighter jet.”

Aphra frowned and tried to recall.

She had little knowledge of military affairs, so she really didn’t know the names of these armaments, let alone the names of the fighter jets during World War II.

Aphra was not sure if it was the right name, so she simply gave up thinking about it. It was not a big deal anyway.

“In short, it’s a fighter jet that was widely equipped during World War II,” she said casually.

At this point, Aphra’s beautiful face was filled with a happy smile. She put her arm around Tang Yu Qi’s shoulders and said happily, “Since there are World War II fighter jets here, it means that we are not the first people to come to this Island.

“There were other forerunners before us. We are still on earth, and we haven’t traveled through time and space.”

“Hahaha, we’ve entered a lost sea region. This is so cool.”

Aphra laughed happily, her voice bright and cheerful.

The others didn’t care about Aphra’s joy, because they were just as excited.

They had been on the deserted island for three days, and what they had seen and heard was completely different from the tropical zone they had known before. The animals and plants here weren’t supposed to exist in this era.

Although they didn’t believe in time travel, they didn’t believe that dinosaurs were still alive.

But now, they had no choice but to believe that the dinosaurs still existed and were living well!

Now that they had found the fighter jets of the United States during World War II in the forest, they were finally sure that they were still on earth. The island was still the era they were familiar with.

They did not travel to another world, nor did they travel through time and space.

However, for some unknown reason, they had arrived at a strange sea area that had not been discovered.

Tang Yu Qi hugged the diary tightly. Her beautiful face also revealed a smile as she nodded slightly in agreement.

This was great news.

She looked up at the wreckage of the plane and thought of her grandfather, who was still in his temporary residence. She said anxiously, “I’ll go tell Grandpa and the others the good news.”

With that, Tang Yu Qi hugged the diary and ran back along the murmuring stream.

Seeing Tang Yu Qi leave in a hurry, Aphra thought for a while and followed her.

The wreckage of the plane had already been searched. Apart from the metal of the plane itself that could be used as a polishing tool, there was basically nothing else that could be used. There was no trace of the pilot either.

However, considering the age of this model of aircraft service, no one expected to find a pilot nearby. After all, it had been too long.

Tang Yu Qi jogged back to the temporary shelter.

The dark reef stood tall like an indestructible shield, blocking the turbulent waves.

There was a cave that was around two meters high, three meters deep, and four meters wide. It was quite spacious.

Tang Yuan Qing and the others used the cave as a base and used wooden stakes and vines to make a fence to seal the entrance, leaving only a small wooden door.

In the end, a simple and crude house was formed.

This was the shelter that Tang Yuan Qing and the others had worked hard to build.

Although it was simple and crude, it could shelter them from the wind and rain. In this environment, it was already very comfortable.

Of course, it was the tools on the lifeboat that allowed them to built this decent shelter in such a short time.

Among the travelers in trouble, they were not the only smart ones.

In just three days, there were more than a dozen temporary shelters near the reef, all of which were travelers who huddled together to keep warm.

A simple shelter was made of wood, vines, and leaves. It was a simple house that looked like a triangular tent, barely able to keep out the wind and rain. The more luxurious ones, like Tang Yuan Qing’s group, used the naturally formed cave on the reef as the foundation and used wooden stakes, vines, and other resources to build a comfortable house.

However, there was only one such good cave. Yuan Xing Guo, Pan Mei Li, Tang Yuan Qing, Tang Yu Qi, and Aphra lived in the cave.

Due to their age, Yuan Xing Guo, his wife, and Tang Yuan Qing rarely left the cave. Even if someone left, they would leave someone to guard the house to prevent anyone from coming in to steal.

At the moment, Yuan Xing Guo was looking for fresh ingredients by the sea, leaving only pan Mei Li and Tang Yuan Qing in the cave.

Tang Yuan Qing’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard Tang Yu Qi’s words., “A plane from World War II?”

“Could it be that someone in the United States discovered this place seventy years ago?”

“I’m not sure,” Tang Yu Qi said, “But they’re sure it’s a wreckage from World War II.”

Tang Yuan Qing furrowed his brows and lowered his eyes as he pondered.

This was too strange.

If the United States had discovered this place during World War II, the various incredible products on this Island would have shocked the world. It was impossible that there was no news of it until now.

Unless the plane had come here by accident, and because it had crashed on the island, the news had not spread, so it had not been discovered.

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan Qing’s pupils contracted and he secretly gasped.

This was not good news.

Although it was good news that they were still on earth and hadn’t traveled through time and space.

But …

In a mysterious and unknown sea.

It was a wild land that had not been discovered.

This was a big problem.

Why was there no exit?

Why were there still dinosaurs that should have been extinct tens of millions of years ago?

Why had no one ever discovered such a vast Island?

Countless problems means endless danger, and there was even a possibility that he would never be able to return to his past life.

Tang Yuan Qing’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper. He felt particularly depressed.

He had a very bad feeling.

————————————-

On the vast Pacific Ocean.

A fishing boat with the flag of Hua Xia cut through the waves, leaving a white spray on the blue sea.

The fishing boat was more than 60 meters long, and some parts of the body of the ship had been corroded by the sea water, even showing spots of rust.

A dark-skinned young man stood at the stern, holding a telescope in one hand and looking at the vast sea. He raised the walkie-talkie in his other hand and complained, “Third uncle, we’ve been searching this area for a few days. Should we continue?”

“I think we should just go back and do what we need to do.”

“It’s been four days. There are so many helicopters and rescue ships, but we haven’t even found the shadow of the Seidel. What’s the point of continuing to search with our broken boat?”

Today was the fourth day since the Seidel cruise ship had disappeared.

Four days ago, at around 10:12 A. M., The Seidel deviated from its course and lost contact.

An hour later, at 11:12, a ship in the nearby waters received a distress signal from the Seidel cruise ship. It was very weak, but it lasted for quite a long time. The gist of it was that the Seidel had suffered an accidental impact and the ship was severely damaged. In order to ensure the lives of the tourists and crew, the captain had to lead all the crew to the lifeboats and abandon the cruise ship.

As soon as the news of the accident on the Seidel cruise ship spread, it immediately caused a sensation in the world.

This was the most serious sea disaster in the past few decades.

There were more than 2000 passengers on the cruise, most of whom were from the United States.

The relevant companies quickly confirmed the news and issued an emergency request help from international community. Request ships in the nearby waters and the relevant authorities organized a rescue operation as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the Seidel crew.

Because the implications of this matter were too great, and most of them were Americans, the international community paid a lot of attention and support to it.

On the same day, more than a hundred ships of various sizes and dozens of helicopters joined the search and rescue operation.

The next day, the number of search and rescue ships reached more than 200, including warships from the United States.

More than 200 ships had almost searched all the relevant waters, but they could not find any trace of the Seidel, nor the crew who had escaped from it.

They seemed to have disappeared into thin air!

The days passed, and it was the fourth day.

With every passing day, the possibility of a search and rescue would be greatly reduced.

“Stop talking you little brat! Should we be listening to you or me?”

“There are more than a hundred of our people on board the Seidel. You heartless dog. You only have money in your eyes. You don’t even care about the lives of your people.”

The young man pouted. He wanted to refute that he was not cold-blooded and heartless, but that this place had already been searched by other ships.

He was about to speak when the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

A boundless sea of clouds suddenly appeared where the sea and the sky were the same color. A vast land with no boundary lay above the sea of clouds.

The mountain range rose and fell, as if it were a celestial mountain or an island floating above the clouds.
