On the morning before Christmas 2008, the hour hand was pointing at ten o'clock, and a medium-sized Airbus named "Lockheed" took off from the airport in Lima, the capital of Peru, with ninety passengers and crew on its way to Peru. The northern town of Paradi. Although only an hour's flight away, it is through the rugged Andes, where the climate is rapidly changing and is considered the most rugged air route.

In the second row of seats on the right sat a girl named Julianne Kupok, a student at a university in Peru. She and her mother, Mary, were on the flight back to Paradise for Christmas.

The plane gradually rose, and the tall buildings below became smaller and smaller like stacked building blocks. The massive fields, meandering rivers and protruding peaks retreated rapidly. The plane quickly penetrated the clouds, and the scenery on the ground was immediately replaced by a sea of billowing clouds, and the sun was shining brightly in the blue sky above. Half an hour later, the plane crossed the majestic, snow-covered peaks of the Andes. At this time, the friendly and soft voice of the stewardess came from the horn: "Hello passengers! Now that the plane has entered the high-altitude thunderstorm area, please fasten your seat belts!"

After a while, the outside of the porthole began to become gray. A turbulent airflow roared, the fuselage shook violently, and the handbags on the luggage rack fell one after another. Passengers desperately grabbed their seat belts, and screams and cries came one after another, and the entire cabin was in chaos. Almost at the same time, a flash of lightning passed through the clouds, and a dazzling light immediately appeared in the cabin. Then the thunder rumbled like a landslide. The rainstorm came "rushing", "thumping" the aluminum skin on the roof, and the plane shook even more violently. The passengers were stunned by the sudden bad weather, some covered their faces with their hands, some were overwhelmed with wide eyes, and some were terrified, and from time to time let out a nightmare-like scream. Suddenly, there was a "crackling" sound, followed by a loud bang, and a big hole opened in the cabin immediately. At this time, Julianne felt that she was descending rapidly, the sound of the wind swept past her ears, and her face was hot from the air.

I don't know how long it took, Julianne finally woke up, the sound of the wind was still howling in her ears, and the pouring rain hit her body, and she realized that she was still alive. Above is a cloud of branches and leaves in the jungle, and below is a dense bush. Above her head, many broken branches hang in the air. Look at her body, the pink dress was torn into strips, one shoe fell off at some point, there was blood on her feet, many parts of her body were severely bruised, and the pain was unbearable as if her collarbone was cracked. She felt dizzy for a while and closed her eyes again.

When Julianne woke up again, the storm had subsided, and another sunny morning had ushered in the rainforest. She tried to get up, but her whole body hurt like it was falling apart. She grabbed the branches aside with all her strength and finally stood up. In a clearing about twenty meters away from her was the wreckage of the crashed plane, which still smelled of strong scorching, and the people in the cabin were burned beyond recognition. Around the plane lay the bodies of many victims, most of whom were thrown out of the cracked cabin and fell to the ground to their deaths. The place where she fell happened to be a dense forest, and she survived. There are venomous snakes, crocodiles and lions everywhere, as well as venomous spiders that are more powerful than jaguars... A loneliness and fear that she had never felt before hit her, her heart trembled, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Julianne's father, Dr. Hans Kepok, and mother, Dr. Mary, are both botanical experts. She lived with her parents in a research station in the tropical rainforest since she was a child, and she is no stranger to everything in the forest. She knows very well that the danger here is full of dangers and the environment is harsh. The only hope is to get out of here with courage and perseverance, otherwise there is only a dead end. Before leaving, she made corresponding preparations. Food is absolutely indispensable during the journey. She struggled to climb into the wreckage of the plane, the body inside was charred, and the body of her mother Mary could not be identified. She stepped in from the scattered corpses and finally found a Christmas cake and bags of cookies in a bag in the luggage rack.

The interior of the rainforest was rough, full of weeds, wisteria and bushes, and there was no way to go. She had to poke through the thick weeds and vines and get through like a dog. Sharp thorns and thorns tore through her dress and scratched her face, arms and legs, and she didn't bother to pay attention. She finally got out of the bushes, and after walking for a while, she was so tired that she was panting, her legs were tied like lead, and she had to rest in a grass for a while. As soon as she lay down, she fell asleep with exhaustion. In the haze, she suddenly found a road at the foot of the mountain, so she jumped down quickly. At this moment, there was only a roar, and in the blink of an eye, an off-road vehicle drove up and stopped in front of her. The person who got out of the car was his father, Hans Kepok. The bitterness and bitterness of the past few days flooded into her heart, and she said "Dad" and rushed over desperately... Suddenly she felt a chill on her legs, and she was standing in the water. She looked up and saw that her father was gone, the off-road vehicle and the road were gone. When she woke up in a trance, it was a dream, and the cold feeling on her legs did not subside at all. She looked down and was not surprised. She saw a black and yellow tree python coiled on her lap, the blood-red letter was shaking, and the tiger was staring at her with a pair of small eyes like mung beans. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat, but she held her breath and didn't dare to move. Because she knows that animals are generally the most sensitive to objects that move violently, if the tree python is angered and entangled by it, the consequences will be unimaginable. It didn't take long for the tree python to slowly retreat from her lap and leave quietly.

In order to guard against the attack of beasts, Julianne often climbed to the top of the high tree at night and tied herself firmly to the tree with strips of cloth. Still, she didn't dare to let herself sleep too much. Because she also has to watch out for those snakes, insects and beasts that can climb trees. She wandered in the mountains and forests for several days, carrying less and less food. Although her stomach was rumbling with hunger, she still limited the amount of food she ate for herself, and she was only willing to open her belly and feast when she encountered wild fruits. And there are not wild fruits everywhere in the mountains, so she doesn't get lucky much.

One day, Julianne found a mango tree in the mountain forest, and the yellow fruit was full of allure. She finally climbed up the tree, but before she could reach the fruit, the branch suddenly broke with a "crack", she fell from the tree a few meters high, and immediately passed out. When she woke up, she found a large group of monkeys surrounded by her. She sat up in shock, grabbed the tree stick beside her, and the monkeys jumped onto the tree one after another. Looking behind her, even the remaining biscuits were snatched by the monkey. She sighed helplessly, thinking about how to return the biscuits to the monkey, when she suddenly found a helicopter hovering in the air. Julianne was ecstatic, waving her arms and shouting desperately. This was indeed a plane searching for air crashes. Because of the thick grass, the pilot could not see what was going on below, nor could he hear Julianne's cries. She was heartbroken and burst into tears in the direction the plane left. But she quickly cheered up again. She is convinced that as long as she unswervingly makes unremitting efforts, she will be able to break through the confinement of the green prison and get out of the line of death.

Julianne climbed over a hill and came to the edge of a swamp, and saw a pool in the grass beside her. She was thirsty and hurriedly walked over. Just as she approached the pool, she took a breath of cold air. I saw a big hideous head hidden in the grass, it turned out to be a big crocodile! She had to give up the idea of drinking water and get out of there quickly. Before walking far, something suddenly caught her clothes. She turned her head and was even more surprised. I saw a vine-like plant hooked her clothes and quickly entangled her back and forth through the hole. Isn't this a sunflower? I remember that when she was a child, her mother Mary had shown her many picture albums about exotic flowers and plants in plants, and there were sunflowers on them. Sunflowers grow in swampy areas with hot climates, and there is often a black and yellow flower spider hidden in the flowers. If humans and animals accidentally break into the sunflower bushes, the sunflower will use its soft and tough branches. The vines entangled humans and animals, and the poisonous spiders hidden in the sunflower came out in full force, crawling onto their prey and gnawing wildly. The saliva of poisonous spiders contains a high concentration of alkaloids, which can make the prey numb and shock in a short period of time. After the poisonous spiders had a full meal, they used their feces for the growth of the sunflower. They are complicit and ferocious, and even the jaguars and lions of the king of the forest dare not take a step beyond the thunder pond. At the same time, she also saw the remains of some animals under the flowers of the sunflower in several places. Needless to say, it must have been those little beasts who didn't know the accident who were chased by the beasts and ran into the restricted area by mistake. They use their lives as a price to warn those who come after... The terrifying primeval jungle is really dangerous and full of dangers, making people unable to guard against it! She quickly tore off the cloth and saw that the poisonous spider under the flowers was about to move, so she had to return carefully.

Julianne came to a valley mouth and suddenly found a creek in front of her. The clear creek flowed from the crevice of the valley, bringing her sweetness and hope. Desperately, she pounced on the creek, buried her face in the stream, and sucked as desperately as she was in her mother's arms. The stream not only freed her from thirst, but became a significant other and guide on her journey. She was convinced that through this life infra, she could walk to the place where it joins the great river, and she could get out of the jungle and return to the arms of her relatives. The winding creek sometimes bypasses jungles and canyons, and sometimes crosses swamps and quagmire. No matter how difficult, tortuous, and bumpy the road ahead is, she perseveres tenaciously with astonishing perseverance. The creek became her coordinate and hope for overcoming difficulties. She knew in her heart that once she left the creek, she would be lost and buried forever in the labyrinth of tropical rainforests.

She walked and walked, forgetting the time sooner or later. After a long journey, her clothes were torn to shreds, the scorching sun scorched her naked body, and the scorching heat made her dizzy. There were also countless flies, mosquitoes, and leeches scratching her all the time, but she endured it with all her might.

After walking for many days, the creek finally brought Julianne to a wide river, which was the main stream of the Heberya River. The river was choppy and the waves were rolling. She was in a trance towards the river, and suddenly there was dust in the distance. She looked back and saw that it was a few lions chasing their prey on the wide beach. The lion spotted her and roared towards her. She was terrified and ran desperately along the bank. The lion got closer and closer, and she even heard the lion's creepy gasp. Knowing that the lion would catch up to her soon, she plopped into the choppy Heberya River. The lion crouched blankly on the bank of the river, full of disappointment. Julianne swam desperately to the heart of the river, and after a while, her swollen arm was so painful that she couldn't lift it, and she could only go with the flow. The turbulent waves hit her face, and she felt powerless, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and passed out.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on a beach. She wanted to stand up, but she was paralyzed. She had to grit her teeth and crawl forward step by step, her fingers were torn by the sand, and every step forward was painful, but she didn't stop. She was convinced that as long as she climbed down the river beach, she would be able to climb out of the death line and climb to a place where people lived.

The sun leaped overhead, and soon it was slanting westward again. Julianne didn't know how far or how long she had climbed. When she climbed to a bend on the river bank, she suddenly found a boat parked in front of her. There is a path on the shore that leads all the way to the forest. Finally reached a place where humans live! She was ecstatic and crawled desperately towards the boat. She finally climbed to the side of the boat and tried to stand up with her hands on the boat, but her feet didn't obey. At this time, Hungry Hungry sent a hunger signal to her tired brain again. She grabbed the boat helper with both hands and managed to reach the edge of the boat, looking for something to eat. However, the cabin was empty and there was nothing. Julianne was so disappointed that she couldn't help lying on the beach again, looking at the blue sky and sighing softly. Suddenly, she found a group of river snails perched on the bottom of the boat, and hurriedly took it and smashed it open with cobblestones, took out the meat and put it in her mouth. After eating a few raw snails, she felt a little refreshed. She gasped for a while, struggled to get up, and staggered in along the path. The path led her to a small wooden house in the woods. She knocked on the door and asked softly, "Is there anyone in the house?"

Seeing that there was no reaction inside, she pushed the door open and walked in. There was a jet ski and a bucket of gasoline wrapped in plastic in the house, but no one was there. Night fell quickly, and no one came. Julianne had to hold the door with a wooden stick, wrap her body tightly in a plastic bag, only her head was exposed, and sleep on the floor. This was the first restful sleep she had slept without any disturbance since the plane crash.

The next morning, Julianne followed the path back to the river, and no one came, so she leaned against the boat and rested for a while. Suddenly she heard a noise, she couldn't help but stand up alertly, looked up, and saw three young men who looked like hunters walking over, and one of them said, "Hey, who are you?"

This was the first time Julianne had heard a human voice in decades, and tears of excitement welled up in her eyes. She murmured, "God, I'm saved..." and fell into the arms of the young hunter and passed out.

In fact, this God is none other than Julianne herself. After the plane crash, with astonishing courage and perseverance, she overcame many difficulties and obstacles, and finally rushed out of the tropical rainforest in the Amazon River Basin and returned to her father Hans Kepok alive.
