Chapitre 103: Chapter 103 Cortlan Island
The black-hulled high-tech aircraft "buzzed" lowly over the undulating sea, propelling against the increasingly intense air currents. Helena Wayne was standing in the cabin of the plane. She put on the windshield goggles, fastened the multifunctional belt tightly around her waist, and put on a metal backpack with a black shell. After passing through the whole body of equipment, he immediately turned his attention to his partner who was still in a hurry.
Sisko Ramon awkwardly buckled the outer buckle of the backpack and fastened it to his back, and then slowly counted the equipment on his body. It took Helena more than three times as long to complete the preparations, and he looked like a rookie on his first day at work.
Helena waited patiently for him to check the last hidden compartment of the multifunctional belt, and then turned back and gestured to the driver's seat: "Ready."
The pilot gave her a gesture back, then let go of the plane's door. At this point, they had already flown over an island, and the manic airflow rushed in the moment the hatch opened a crack, and a dense jungle just below was rapidly receding under their eyes.
Sisko stood by the cabin door, took a deep breath and tried to jump, but after glancing down, he retracted involuntarily: "Wait, wait...I think I need to prepare, At least let me recall the training content and specific steps... ah ah ah!!!"
Halfway through his words, it turned into a long series of screams. Helena shoved him down from behind with a blank expression, and then jumped off herself.
At a height of less than 100 meters, regular skydiving at such a low altitude is definitely a lifeless move, but what they are doing now is not a regular skydiving project. Helena put her hands and feet together, her head fell freely like a bullet, and when she estimated that it was about the same height, she reached out and pulled the pull tab of the backpack on her back. The black gliders popped out from both sides of the metal backpack, and the wind swelled up to cushion her, like a big black bird passing through the woodland, gradually slowing down and falling to the ground.
Helena retracted the glider and landed gracefully and calmly to the ground. And her partner was not so calm in comparison. Sisko landed in an unsightly posture with an "ah" shout, and rolled two more laps before stopping the car, but Fortunately, no problem.
"One Sword"
He put away the glider and stood up muttering: "I said earlier that I wasn't ready for the gliding mission, but they just didn't listen... My best performance in the simulation exercise was just passed."
Cortlan Island, an island with an extinct volcano, is also a world-famous holiday destination. It is famous for its golden sandy beaches, warm sea breezes and magnificent extinct volcanoes. Every year, no matter the summer or winter, it welcomes an endless stream of tourists. It is a treasure of gold.
But that was Cortrun as usual, not today. Just earlier today, an unknown accident landed on the island, and all signals and communications on the island were completely cut off from the outside world in an instant. Generally speaking, this is not really a big event, and it has not happened before - the local armed terrorists briefly occupied the island's dominance, and they also cut off all the island's signals from the outside world, but it is very difficult. It was soon taken back by the local government.
If that's the case, it certainly wouldn't be an accident worthy of the top operatives sent by the U.S. government. But the problem is that there happened to be an important person on the island at the stall in the United States where the accident happened.
Ray Isaac, a senior researcher under the U.S. government, holds a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and plays an important role in the government. He came to the island three days ago among tourists for some special reason, and has now completely cut off contact with the government. And finding this doctor is exactly the mission of Huntress and Shockwave.
Although Amanda Waller didn't make it clear when she handed down the mission, it's easy to think that the mission must not be that simple. Huntress and Shockwave are currently agents of the Office of Paranormal Operations (DEO), and as the name suggests, their missions are generally only related to paranormal or superhuman affairs. Since the rescue mission was handed over to their DEO, it is certain that Dr. Ray Isaac's purpose in coming to this island is absolutely extraordinary.
The weather on Cortlan Island today is also unbelievable. The gray sky seems to be raining at any time, and the damp air is depressing and suffocating. Helena and Sisko walked one after the other for ten minutes in the dense forest, and finally saw the landing port after pushing away another clump of bushes. The golden sandy beach in the advertisement looked dark gray at the moment, and the billowing waves in the distance came crashing down into a high wall. Rows of coconut trees on the beach swayed violently in the gust of wind, and the leaves roared "swipe".
There was no one on the beach, and the waves swept up alone, dragging the gravel and water plants back to the sea. And it seems to have started to fog up a little now, like a thin veil. The two walked along the shore for a while, and the building of the visitor center could barely be seen not far away. The words "Welcome to Cortrun" were inserted on the side, which meant that the town was just ahead.
The fog is getting thicker and thicker, white water vapor obscures the sky, and visibility plummets, adding an eerie atmosphere to the empty island. Sisko felt a little hairy in his heart. He carefully looked at Helena and couldn't help admiring that she was completely unmoved by this weird atmosphere.
"This fog reminds me of Silent Hill." He tried to find a topic, and used chat to help him get rid of his nervousness. "Maybe there will be monsters like 'leg mold' in the town ahead."
Helena didn't answer. Sisko asked again after a while: "You know Silent Hill, right?"
"do not know."
"Wow, you don't watch horror movies at all?"
"I don't watch movies." Helena said lightly.
"Then you really lost a lot of fun." Sisko said, paused, and then said, "No, maybe I shouldn't watch so many horror movies. Damn I feel this spooky island now Reminds me of so many horror movie scenes, and I think my heart might be beating."
The visitor center was also deserted at the moment, with the glass doors on the front and back of the empty lobby open, only adding to what Sisko calls the "horror movie vibe." Seven or eight different horror movie soundtracks were already playing in his mind by now, and he was just terrified of breathing.
The small town on the island follows the visitor center and is very small. A simple old street runs through the town, low old houses are placed on both sides, and alleys leading in all directions are inserted in the middle. Every street and alley is also empty, thick fog lingers between the old houses, the hazy outlines of the houses are like monsters overlooking foreigners, cold and malicious.
But it's not just the two of them here. There are people hiding in every rustic old house. They peep through the gaps in the curtains and the small cracks in the door. They thought the two outsiders on the street didn't notice them, but Helena noticed each of them.
The hotels in the town are concentrated in the central area. According to the mission information, the room of their rescue target, Dr. Ray Isaac, is in the largest hotel. This is actually not difficult to find, because only this hostel has a three-story duplex structure. Although there is a huge gap with the star-rated hotels in other places, it is compared with the low-rise buildings with old bricks and tiles on the left and right sides. Stand out from the crowd.
The door was not locked, but Sisko couldn't help but flinch when faced with this door, which was still made of material. In contrast, he is not particularly afraid of guns and desperadoes, but he is afraid to death of the possibility of zombies and other monsters popping out of the door as soon as he opens the door. Helena rolled his eyes at him, stepped forward, reached out and opened the door.
There was no light behind the door, and the rude local greeter greeted them only with a dark double-barreled shotgun.
"Stop!" the man with the gun shouted, "I'll shoot half a step forward!"
