Chapter 710 San Teodoro

Mindolo Island is taken from the Spanish minadeoro, which means "gold mine land". When the Spanish colonized the Philippines, several gold mines were found on this island, so this name was given to the island.

Binduro Island is the fifth largest island in the Philippines. It is about 160 kilometers long from north to south, and 84 kilometers widest from east to west. The 140 kilometers long High Lorraine Mountains run through the north and south of the islands. The highest peak of the High Lorraine Mountains is the Alcon Mountains in the northeast of the mountain range. The altitude of this peak is as high as 2,585 meters.

There are less than 700,000 Filipinos living on this island with an area of ​​less than 10,000 square kilometers. However, most of these residents live in coastal areas. Only a very small number of native people living by hunting in the High Lorraine Mountains in the middle of the island live in, so most of the island is still quite primitive.

The yacht rented by Morris set off from Manila and took more than three hours to reach the Port of Galera, the northernmost port city of Bindulo. The capital city of the entire Mindulo Island is Kalapan, Eastern Mindulo Province, but the Port of Galera is the most prosperous, with the largest number of people and the best scenery on the entire island.

Before the yacht entered the port, I saw hundreds of small and medium-sized yachts in the strait outside. The sea water here is extremely clear, and you can even clearly see the coral reefs underwater through the sea water several meters deep.

Princess stood on the deck of the bow and looked at the sea water here and exclaimed: "The quality of the sea water here is really good, not at all faster than Hawaii. I really want to go down and swim."

"Haha, just go down if you want to. This is not easy? Otherwise, after arriving at Port Galera, you will stay here to dive and swim. I will take Chris and the others into the mountain and wait for us to come out of the mountain before picking you up."

The princess bit her finger and looked at the clear sea water for a while, and then looked at Yang Jing, looking hesitant. Obviously, the sea water here is really tempting and tempting for her.

Port Galera is located at the northernmost end of Mindoro Island. Today, Yang Jing and the others came from Manila and ran more than 70 nautical miles on the sea, so they only ran for three hours. If Batangas opposite the Strait of Calafa came over, they would not even have an hour to use.

Although Port Galera is a port city, this city is most famous for its tourism industry. The local Sabang Bay has been listed as a human and biosphere reserve by UNESCO since 1973. The bay has the most diverse coral reefs in Asia and is a world-renowned diving resort.

This is why you can see so many yachts here. These yachts are rented locally by diving enthusiasts from all over the world and then come here to dive.

The coral reefs in Sabang Bay can even be compared with those in Cyprus. Although they are not as big as the Great Barrier Reef in the Great Coral Sea in eastern Australia, there are so many types of coral reefs here, but there are no fewer than there.

Princess is also a girl who likes diving very much, so when she sees such a beautiful coral reef, how can she move her feet?

"I said, wife, don't worry. Entering the mountain is not a good thing. There are primitive forests and there are not even roads. There are all kinds of small bites, poisonous snakes, and spiders in the mountain... If you are not careful, it will be troublesome if you are bitten. I know you want to follow me into the mountain to see what secrets are hidden in those places, but this is easy to say. At worst, when I get to the place, I can just use the satellite phone to video-connect you."

"Well..." The princess looked at the blue sea hesitantly, and finally nodded with gritted teeth, "Okay, I'll stay here with Luo Weisha and the others. But you have to remember to video links at that time. If you forget, you won't let you go to bed after you come back!"

This punishment is harsh enough, so you can't forget to connect to the video without saying anything!

The yacht is right at the yacht marina of Sabang Bay. As for the Port of Galera to the south, it doesn’t matter whether you can go to it. Sabang Bay is the essence of this port city. There are many luxury hotels here, and there are many restaurants and bars. And because it is a well-known tourist destination in the Philippines, the security here is quite good.

Princess's two female bodyguards, Rovesha and Valentina, are both from Norway, Norway. They were two female special forces in the Norwegian female special forces "Hunter regiment". They have participated in security and security work in Afghanistan and Iraq. Before being poached by Chris at the end of last year, they had fought in Syria for two months.

However, Yang Jing did not just keep Rovesha and Valentina, but also kept Mark, Sean, Thomas, Jackson and Brian in Morris' team. This time, there would be no need for so many people to enter the mountain. Keeping the five of them can also increase Princess' security and defense.

After getting off the boat, Yang Jing left the Sabang Bay Pier with seven bodyguards and took three taxis to the south and drove straight into the Port of Galera.

Minduro Island is actually a very primitive island, which is only more prosperous in the coastal areas. As for the inland High Lorraine Mountains, it is actually a wilderness. Not to mention the roads, even people are almost invisible.

The two locations recorded in Alfred's notes are all located in the High Lorraine Mountains, one north and one south, and the straight line distance between them is more than 60 kilometers. Therefore, if you want to inspect these two locations in a short time, it is obviously inappropriate to use ground transportation, so they have to enter the Port of Galera to rent a medium-sized helicopter and enter the High Lorraine Mountains from the air to find the two hidden places.

Moreover, the most critical reason for choosing to use a helicopter is that Yang Jing judged the locations and coordinates recorded in Alfred's two notebooks, probably not so accurate.

Yang Jing used his identification skills to identify these two notebooks, and confirmed that these two notebooks were written by Alfred himself, and also confirmed that Alfred wrote these two notebooks in 1946.

The autumn of that year happened to be the time when Alfred died, which means that these two notebooks should have been written by Alfred during his lifetime. However, in the 1940s, there was no satellite positioning at all. In that era, if you want to accurately locate a location, you can only locate a large scale map.

The coordinates generated by map positioning are definitely not as accurate as those of the current satellite positioning system. Therefore, in order to find the exact location, you need to explore it in the air before talking about it.

According to the coordinates of that era, it was difficult to find a hidden place in the vast mountains, especially these places have been in the mountains for more than 70 years. Just like the first place Yang Jing got in his notebook, that is, the place located in Kabugao, Luzon Island. There are only two tips in the notebook: "Luzon Island" and "Kabugao". In addition, the coordinates deciphered, even if you look for it in high-definition satellite maps, you can only see the vast forest and you can't see anything else.

Although Kabugao is a small town, it is located in the mountains. No matter how small it is, if you cannot accurately locate it, you will not be able to find the hidden place located in Kabugao.

As for the two hidden places on Minduro Island, they are about the same height as Kabu. Even if they have coordinates, using satellite maps, there are no useful clues except trees or rivers.

It’s like the first hidden place that Yang Jing and the others are about to look for are the two place names “Minduro Island” and “San Teodoro”. After the place name San Teodoro, there is a coordinate deciphered - n13.31e120.94.
