Got The Answer
It was already the following morning by the time Shane made it to the location of the GPS tracking
system manufacturer, for it was in yet another country.
He was personally received by the manufacturer’s senior executive. After learning the cause of his visit,
the man agreed to track the helicopter for him.
“This is the helicopter’s serial number. You should be able to lock onto its location with this, right?” Shane
looked at him with urgency brimming in his eyes.
He was desperate to find Natalie.
It was already the third day she had gone missing, and he had no idea what was happening to her.
Taking the photo from him, the senior executive glanced at it. “You’ve been to the helicopter’s fuselage
manufacturer, Mr. Shane?”
“Yes, I went to the rotor blade manufacturer first and learned about the various major manufacturers that
assembled the entire helicopter. This serial number was provided by the fuselage manufacturer,” Shane
replied with a nod.
The senior executive flashed him a smile. “Understood. I’ll have the technical department lock onto this
helicopter’s GPS tracking system.”
“Thank you!” Shane’s brows that had been scrunched together for three days finally eased slightly.
The process of locking onto the helicopter’s GPS tracking system was exceedingly slow, as it was too far
away, and the signal was intermittent.
Fortunately, luck was on their side, for Shane finally got the answer he wanted.
“The results are out, Mr. Shane.” The senior executive walked over to Shane with a document in his
hands. “The helicopter has been traveling to and fro Nalanica in the past three days.”
“Nalanica.” Shane narrowed his eyes. Hmm, it’s Nalanica again.
The senior executive nodded in affirmation. “That’s right. At present, it’s parked on an airport apron in
Nalanica.”
So, Natalie is in Nalanica?
Shane curled his hands into fists.
No, there’s also a possibility that it’s merely a facade Sean deliberately created. Perhaps she has already
been transported someplace else by other means of transportation after they arrived in Nalanica.
At that thought, Shane asked, “Has it been to anywhere else in the past two days?”
“Yes. According to the GPS tracking system, it disappeared in Nalanica’s open ocean three days ago,
alongside its signal. However, the signal was only gone for a short time before it reappeared, for the
helicopter then made a return flight. It went back to the airport apron I mentioned earlier. Yesterday, it
again made a flight to the open ocean, and the signal was lost once more. Shortly after, it made a return
flight again. Therefore, my guess is that the signal blinked out due to the fog and magnetic field as it
passed through the airspace over the ocean,” the senior executive expounded.
Shane pursed his lips. “How long was it between the disappearance and reappearance of the signal?”
“It was about half an hour,” the senior executive answered.
The second Shane heard that, his eyes lit up like Christmas lights. “Half an hour… I remember that the
flight between Nalanica’s open ocean and the land on the other side is about five hours, yes?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Shane’s clenched fists trembled, and undisguised excitement shone in his eyes.
A five-hour flight means that the location where the helicopter’s signal disappeared is at least a thousand
nautical miles from the land on the other side. But it couldn’t travel that far. Most importantly, it always
disappeared for half an hour in the middle of the ocean before making a return flight. That means that it
stopped somewhere there! Yesterday, I was told that there are a ton of small islands in the middle of
Nalanica’s open ocean. And now, it has been proven that the helicopter stopped at a particular island! In
other words, Natalie is on an island!
After figuring that out, the urge to set out right away on a helicopter and search for Natalie on the islands
in the ocean seized him.
However, he knew he had to calm down.
Inhaling deeply, he turned his gaze to the senior executive. “Can you not determine the location of the
helicopter after its signal blinked out?”
“No, Mr. Shane. Our GPS tracking system is already the most advanced in the world. We also have
collaborations with several military forces. Unfortunately, technology can never compare to the might of
nature. Not only is Nalanica’s open ocean shrouded in heavy fog all year round, but there’s even a
magnetic field there. All electronic devices will lose their signals there. No matter how advanced the
technology, one can’t possibly determine the location where the helicopter’s signal blinked out. Hence,
this is the best we can do,” the senior executive explained with a wry smile.
