Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 1042 Return without Success
In addition, most people have average physical fitness and cannot walk for long periods of time.
So these arrangements were only on the surface. Secretly, Wen Chaohui organized a professional team to explore further.
After Shen Yanming knew about it, he signed up for the team directly, bringing Zhang Heping, Ji Kangyong, and the three of them at home.
Liang Huaxin looked at Bi Qiaoan and An An Nuannuan in surprise and said nothing.
Anyway, we have Lao Shen. If these three can’t hold on any longer, they can just turn back halfway.
What's more, there are Qi Xili and Qi Lin in the team.
The two of them were quite capable and had a good relationship with the Shen family. They could take care of the three of them if anything went wrong.
The others did not object when they saw this. This team was a gathering of familiar people, and everyone knew something about Shen Yanming's strength and luck.
As for family members, if they are not capable, Mr. Shen will not take them with him.
Li Wanwan and Qin Yiren wanted to follow them after they found out. But they knew they would be a hindrance if they went, so they stayed at home to take care of the children.
And they were very carefree, not worrying at all about their husbands getting into danger. But Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong gave many instructions before they set off, fearing that the two women and Xiao Pidan and Xiao Dousha might get into trouble.
This made Li Wanwan and Qin Yiren so impatient that they almost took a broom to chase the two brothers away.
Li Zhaozhao couldn't participate even if he wanted to because his leg hadn't healed yet.
Xu Yajing had been complaining about him for three days in a row, saying the most unpleasant things she could, without caring at all about the opinions of her parents-in-law and her son.
Li Zhaozhao suppressed the resentment in his heart, letting it accumulate bit by bit. He wanted to explode, but due to his inconvenience in movement and the need for the other party, he could only suppress it.
He held a soybean-sized space stone in his hand, rubbed it a few times, and then put it back into his pocket.
This was given by Shen Yanming.
He originally wanted to give it out to reassure Xu Yajing, but now he doesn't want to do that anymore. He wants to keep it all to himself and keep it a secret.
Li Zhaozhao took a deep breath, somewhat envious of the three brothers. He didn't know what he would gain from this trip.
If he gets a large piece of space stone, he will probably...
Bless each other.
Li Zhaozhao couldn't help laughing. He didn't know that he would become so hypocritical one day.
That's right, it's good enough that he's not jealous, but he also gave his blessing? Ha, he's not that magnanimous!
Take a long breath and stop thinking about it.
Here, a family of four followed the team out of the mountain, talking and laughing.
Wen Chaohui speculated that space stones might be more likely to appear in places with low altitudes.
After all, without mountains or anything blocking it, hot air eruption would be easier. Of course, these are all without scientific basis, pure fantasy.
But everyone thought it made sense, so they asked them to search on the ruins of the collapsed mirage city, and no one had any objection.
But it is really difficult to walk through the ruins, as they are uneven and full of sharp objects.
The damage caused by the tsunami a few years ago still exists, and for various reasons, people have not rebuilt on the original site.
Now it seems that the decision was a wise one. Otherwise, all the efforts would have been wasted in the end.
The group first walked along the road for a while before climbing over the ruins.
I was very careful along the way, for fear of falling and hurting my elbows and knees.
There are benefits. Because the hot gas eruption will produce a huge impact force, the ruins that have experienced eruptions will form a large pit. It is very conspicuous. They only need to check this hole and search nearby to confirm whether there is a space stone.
Everyone concentrated their attention and searched very seriously. When it was almost noon, they just ate a few bites and didn't even light a fire.
The team members looked at Bi Qiaoan and An An Nuan Nuan with concern, only to see the mother and three of them calmly take out a few rice balls from their backpacks, stuff two into their mouths, chew them a few times and eat them up. Then they drank some water and licked their lips happily.
They all thought that the family of four were eating some delicious delicacy, but it looked like just rice balls that looked similar to the ones in their hands!
What they don’t know is that there is something hidden inside the rice balls they eat.
Although it looks inconspicuous, it is filled with meat floss, cucumber, and egg pancake.
No wonder when the family of four eats, they just press it into their mouths, puff it up like a little hamster, and then chew it slowly.
Zhang Heping, Ji Kangyong, and Qi Xili understood it immediately, while the others just thought it was someone's little hobby.
The water in the cup is also pure spring water with honey added. How can it not taste good?
Only people who are not familiar with it would think that it contains just boiled water.
In the past, when Shen Yanming was on a mission, they could still come up and get a bite of food. But this time, he brought his family with him, and everyone was very discerning and didn't come up to shine.
The family of four enjoyed their leisure time and rested back to back after dinner.
Bi Qiaoan sighed, finally this time they were not looking outside through space. And An An and Nuan Nuan were glad that they had finally grown up and could go out with their parents.
Shen Yanming's mood was also somewhat complicated.
Other people's wives, sons and daughters were waiting at home, but his family actually followed out.
Although it wasn't a big problem with him around, it was still suffering. It was cold, the time was long, and the road was difficult to walk. Why did I have to endure this?
But since they were already out, he couldn't say anything. He just hoped that this time they were tired enough, and next time the mother and her two daughters would give up and stay at home.
Bi Qiaoanke had no idea what was going on in her husband's mind.
After taking a sip of the spiritual spring water, most of the fatigue in her body disappeared. She felt like she was doing fine again.
Looking around, he couldn't tell the direction. Bi Qiaoan whispered, "I don't know what happened to my old home."
Shen Yanming was stunned. He knew she was talking about Qingyu Community. But he hadn't been back since the tsunami. So he really didn't know.
What a coincidence, the direction we were heading this time was the direction of home. If we kept going forward, we might actually be able to go back.
Unfortunately, they were just exploring the route today and were not well prepared. They had to go back at 4pm at the latest.
Although Bi Qiaoan felt regretful, he did not insist. After resting for about fifteen minutes, he stood up and continued to move forward with the main group.
They encountered three gas pits along the way, but after searching around, they found nothing.
Because he knew the special properties of the space stone, Shen Yanming and others dug two of the gas pits.
The filling material left by the gas eruption was extremely hard, and it took them a lot of effort to dig from the side.
After digging more than two meters, they still saw ordinary rocks. Shen Yanming was a little disappointed, but he did not give up.
If the space stone was really that easy to find, Dijing would not have made the news public.
The group walked until 3:30 in the afternoon. Seeing the sun hanging in the west and about to fall, they hurriedly turned back.
This place is not like flat ground, the visibility is poor and it is easy to fall.
But they were not fast enough, and it was still dark.
Shen Yanming did not dare to be careless. He held Bi Qiaoan with one hand and Nuannuan with the other, and the three of them focused their attention on the ground.
