"Su Ming, is that you?" Si Nan asked in disbelief.

"It's me, Anan, I'm here, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Cheng Suming hugged the person in his arms tightly, and the corners of his eyes turned slightly red.

Three days ago, he had finished the operation in the capital and rushed to the Shishan base with nearly 25 helicopters and nearly 120 special forces and soldiers from the capital.

But when they arrived at the Shishan base, the military told him that Yan Hongyi had lost Si Nan.

However, Yan Hongyi suspected that Si Nan's disappearance was related to the Changji base, and had sent people disguised as desperate disaster victims to go to the Changji base to secretly gather information inside.

Of course Cheng Suming was unwilling to just wait, so he immediately drove to a hidden valley about half a kilometer away from the Changji base and set up camp.

He knew very well that the other party was able to hide in the Shishan base for a whole year before taking Si Nan away, and he must have figured out the personal connections of everyone around Si Nan.

If he rashly went to the Changji base, he would definitely alert the enemy and put Si Nan's life in danger.

He could only stay in the valley and wait for the people sent by Yan Hongyi to find out the location of Si Nan.

The people sent by Yan Hongyi were divided into five teams, each with no more than five people. They were all real survivors of the shantytowns. They used intimidation and inducement on them, seized their family members or weaknesses, and asked them to pretend to be a desperate family, a couple, a helpless woman, etc. They wandered outside in the wind and snow for another two days, and everyone was frozen to death. Then they went to the Changji base to increase the credibility of their identities.

Although this method was a bit cruel, it worked immediately. On the afternoon of the third day, a woman found out some information.

Three nights ago, someone saw a group of people carrying a woman on their backs and entering the building where various leaders of the Changji base lived.

The woman used the mini satellite communication device that Yan Hongyi had installed on everyone at great expense to tell Yan Hongyi and others who were hiding in the valley.

Yan Hongyi originally intended that since the Changji base was a mixed bag with many weapons, they should find a way to enter the main building of those leaders and find out the specific location of Si Nan before taking action to avoid any accidents.

Cheng Suming couldn't wait even a moment, so he contacted the capital helicopter waiting at the Shishan base and asked them to rush here immediately.

At that time, Cheng Suming said something that made Yan Hongyi feel that if this man was not in the Shishan base but in the Changji base, Shishan would have angered him and would only lead to a devastating killing.

At that time, Cheng Suming stood in the snow, looking straight in the direction of Changji Base, his dark eyes condensed with brutal and bloodthirsty killing intent: "Whoever dares to touch Sinan, I will make him live a life worse than death! If Changji Base doesn't hand over the people, I will kill the leaders inside!"

When they saw nearly thirty helicopters from the capital's Jiashishan base hovering over them, each aircraft carrying heavy, machine guns and weapons, and even ten of the helicopters from the capital carrying RPGs, fire, arrows, cannons, various sniper rifles, mortars, hand guns, mines, etc., the soldiers inside were all fully armed, wearing a team uniform that was the best in the country and gathered all kinds of special, special, soldier and king uniforms, and they were leading Yan Hongyi and his men to the Changji base, as if they would blow the entire base to the ground if the Changji base did not hand over the people.

Yan Hongyi then realized that Cheng Suming was not as gentle, elegant and easy to get along with as he appeared to be. From what Cheng Suming had just said, it could be seen that this person was cruel and ruthless, far worse than him.

He also realized that the strength of the Capital Base was far beyond what their Shishan Base could contend with.

Judging from the helicopters, weapons and equipment supporting Cheng Suming, as well as the soldiers who are obviously strictly trained and can fight one against a hundred, this is only a small part of the military strength displayed by the capital's military.

Yan Hongyi felt that after returning, he had to raise these issues with the Shishan military to prevent some ignorant officers from instigating Division Commander Ye to establish himself as the king and stir up trouble. If they angered the capital and sent military helicopters to suppress them, they would all suffer.

The leadership team of the Changji base probably didn't expect that one of their leaders just captured a woman for fun and actually angered the other man, so much so that he used so many helicopters to fly over their base and, without saying a word, blew up the work building and accommodation building of their leadership team.

That would have been fine, but nearly 150 soldiers armed with live ammunition slid down quickly from the 30 planes, pulling ropes. Anyone who dared to attack would be shot directly, without even a chance to speak. A group of people fell down in a flash.

The founder of Changji Base, who was also the highest person in charge of the base, understood that his subordinates had offended someone they shouldn't have offended, so he came out with a gloomy face and negotiated with Cheng Suming and the others. In the end, he told them where Si Nan was being held, and the scene of the door being kicked open occurred.

The room was originally equipped with soundproof walls and windows, and was usually used by an ordinary-looking man named Geng Leyuan to abuse women and children for his own pleasure.

He never thought that someone would come to him in this way, flying a helicopter with well-trained soldiers armed with live ammunition.

With the strength of the Changji Base, ordinary people, let alone bringing weapons into the base to cause trouble, even if they have any bad thoughts or actions towards the Changji Base, will be discovered and killed by the Changji organization, so there will be no chance for those people to resist.

He originally thought that if he caught Si Nan, even if her husband and relatives guessed that she was here, they would not be able to cause any trouble.

After all, he had arranged for his men to enter the Shishan base a year ago and find out the details of all of Sinan's relatives and friends. They were all ordinary people with no strength or power. How could they enter the iron-clad Changji base to rescue people?

But he didn't expect that the other party did not intend to break through the wall guarding the Changji base, but chose the most direct and brutal way to rescue people.

This is very exciting!

Geng Leyuan saw the fully armed special forces soldiers pointing guns at him in the smoke. After a brief pause, he suddenly laughed with madness in his eyes. He slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Doctor Cheng, you are in there, right? You are different in this life from the last life. You can find so many soldiers to deal with me. Your actions from the end of the world to now are completely different. Your personality is the same as in the last life. It is hard for me not to suspect that you are a reborn person like me. You must hate me for killing Si Nan in the last life and kidnapping her in this life. You want to cut me into pieces to relieve your hatred. In this case, let's have a big one and die together!"

At the end of his words, he smiled strangely, jumped into the corner, and pressed hard on a hidden button in the corner. The door of the room closed instantly, and at the same time, the whole room began to be filled with black smoke, and a pungent smell filled the air between his nostrils.

Wu Ming and his group panicked and yelled at Geng Leyuan: "Geng, what are you doing?!"

Someone went to open the door, but found it wouldn't open, so he went back and pressed the button, but it still wouldn't open.

Wu Ming and his group were even more panicked. They surrounded him, grabbed his collar, and asked him hysterically: "What the hell did you do?! Why can't the door be opened? What on earth do you want to do?!"

"Nothing, I just want you to die with me." Geng Leyuan grinned, his eyes strange, "I've lived enough, this world is too boring, whether it's the last life or this life, natural disasters never stop, humans struggle to survive in it, and ultimately cannot escape the fate of dying in natural disasters. In this case, why are you still struggling, you might as well go to paradise with me as soon as possible and save yourself a lot of trouble. The rooms here, including the basement and windows, are all made of soundproof and bulletproof materials. No matter how you smash or shoot, you can't break these materials and leave here. That button is both a gas device and a door-closing button. You can only press it once. No matter how you press it, it can't be activated again. Just enjoy the few remaining times."

"Geng Leyuan! You lunatic! We have been following you and working for you, and this is how you treat us?!" Wu Ming rushed over and punched him hard in the face, leaving him with a black eye and swollen face. As he was spitting blood, he pinched his neck with both hands and shouted angrily: "Are you fucking kidding us? Open the door for me, or I'll kill you!"

“It can’t be opened.” Geng Leyuan spat a mouthful of blood foam on Wu Ming’s face and laughed crazily like a madman: “Originally, I wanted to let the entire Changji base be buried with me, but unfortunately, things are unpredictable. My plan is not half completed and I am stuck here. But it’s not a loss to have a group of you die with me. It’s useless for you to kill me now, because you can’t get out at all, hahahaha——”

Over there, Wu Ming and his men were beating and cursing Geng Leyuan, while the nearly thirty special forces soldiers who came in also didn't believe in evil and fired at the door, windows and walls of the room. It turned out that they were made of bulletproof material. No matter how they fired, smashed or pushed, the door and window glass didn't move.

At this time, the smoke bombs in the room had gradually disappeared, and the room was covered with black smoke.

In less than ten seconds, everyone smelled the pungent smell and began to feel dizzy, weak in the limbs, and bleeding from the nose.

Si Nan didn't care about exposing the secret of the space anymore. He immediately took out the comprehensive gas masks and biochemical protective suits that he had stockpiled before the end of the world, stuffed them into Cheng Suming's hands, and said weakly, "Put them on."

'They', of course, refers to that group of special forces soldiers.

Cheng Suming first put full-face gas masks and protective clothing on Si Nan and himself, and then distributed other protective clothing to the special forces and soldiers one by one.

When the special forces saw the protective suit suddenly appear in Cheng Suming's hand, they were surprised and couldn't believe it. They all looked at their teammates, and their meaning was very clear.

Cheng Suming didn't want to explain to them. He took out the gun from his bag, walked up to Geng Leyuan, who had been beaten half to death by Wu Ming and his gang, and fired several shots at his forehead and body without hesitation.

Amid a burst of loud gunfire, Geng Leyuan died with his body shaking and a strange smile on his face.

Cheng Suming turned around, picked up Si Nan, and shouted to the group of special forces, "Go to the basement."

Special forces, types, and soldiers all carried camouflage combat readiness bags, which contained weapons, bullets, food, and first aid supplies. Everyone was equipped with a full-face gas mask. They put on full-face gas masks and protective clothing in the shortest time possible and followed the basement under the bed pointed by Si Nan.

Seeing this, Wu Ming and his group also ran down quickly.

The basement was connected to the room on the ground, and poisonous gas was also being released from inside.

However, the basement has one more ventilation hole than the room above. Although the walls of the basement are also made of bulletproof steel, the ground is only covered with a layer of cement.

Perhaps they never thought that the people imprisoned or locked in here had the ability to escape from the iron cage and dig their way out.

Cheng Suming carried Si Nan down to the basement and saw rows of surveillance cameras on the walls and an iron cage in the middle. He looked at the special forces with an extremely ugly expression.

The leader understood what he meant, and with a wave of his hand, his men climbed up the wall without saying a word and destroyed all the surveillance cameras.

They didn't rob or smash the surveillance cameras because bullets are very precious in today's world. One less bullet means one less, so they would save money if they can.

At this time, the black poisonous gas had filled the entire basement. Wu Ming and his group were bleeding from all seven orifices. The skin on their faces and hands turned purple-brown and was covered with blisters.

While screaming in pain, they rushed towards where Cheng Suming and the other man were, shouting, "Give us gas masks and protective clothing! Quick, give them to us!"

Cheng Suming held Si Nan in his arms and stood still. Thirty special forces soldiers stood in front of them, all pointing their guns at Wu Ming and his group, and shouted through their gas masks: "Back off, or we'll shoot!"

Wu Ming and his group simply couldn't listen. The desire to survive made them rush towards the group of special forces soldiers regardless of everything. Continuous gunshots rang out in the basement.

Si Nan saw that the poisonous gas had no intention of stopping. She felt that she had difficulty breathing even though she was wearing protective clothing and a full-face gas mask. The air was so turbid that she almost suffocated. She had no choice but to take out several sets of rechargeable electric drills, hoes and shovels from the space and looked at the group of special forces. "Try to drill the ground."

At this moment, the special forces were no longer shocked and started working with electric drills, shovels and hoes.

They worked very quickly and in a very planned manner, digging the tunnel sideways along the wall. After about half an hour, the tunnel reached the ground outside. Naturally, the special forces, special forces, and soldiers let Si Nan and the other two go up first.

When Si Nan was crawling on the ground, Sheng Youqing, who heard the noise outside, was the first to run over and looked at Si Nan with tears in her eyes: "Si Nan, are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Si Nan felt weak all over. Cheng Suming supported her and took off her protective suit and gas mask, revealing her pale face, dry and cracked lips, and her body which had obviously lost a lot of weight.

Sheng Youqing's tears flowed even more fiercely, and she hugged Si Nan and cried: "I am useless, I failed to protect you and made you suffer..."

Yang Wentao, Yan Hongyi and others who were trying to find a way to break into the room heard the noise and came over, asking Si Nan if he was injured and how he felt.

"Sinan is not in good condition. Let's talk about it when we get back." Cheng Suming hugged Sinan into his arms again and walked towards a wider road not far away.

There was a helicopter parked there, and the engine was never turned off, for fear that the oil inside would freeze, so it was still flying and rotating close to the ground.

Other helicopters were parked in the sky at high points, their propeller wings spinning and making a constant rattling sound.

Cheng Suming hadn't taken two steps when Si Nan said with difficulty, "Gao Moli, Gao Moli is here. They hid her."

"Gao Moli is here?" Sheng Youqing, who was following behind them, was surprised. "I thought she had already..."

Gao Moli has been missing for nearly three years, and Sheng Youqing thought that she had met with an accident, but she actually came to the Changji base. From what Sinan said, someone deliberately hid her to threaten Sinan?

Si Nan opened his mouth to explain something, but Cheng Su Ming spoke first: "Gao Moli's affairs are left to you, Sheng Youqing. I will leave the other helicopters here. Yang Wentao and Yan Hongyi, you stay to help her. I will take Si Nan back first."

"Okay, leave Gao Moli's matter to me, be careful on your way."

After the group split up, in a tall building at Changji Base, a man sat in front of the monitoring room, watching the helicopter that took Si Nan away on the big screens. He turned to another man sitting on the sofa, shaking a wine glass in his hand and said, "Boss, that woman has been taken away. With Geng Leyuan's crazy behavior, I'm afraid they've all killed themselves. Are we just going to let that woman go?"

“If we don’t let her go, will we be blown to pieces by the helicopters brought by those people?” The man holding the wine glass said calmly, “Don’t worry, we will have plenty of opportunities to make a move in the future. I am very interested in a woman with space.”

After getting on the plane, Si Nan fainted in Cheng Suming's arms due to hunger, thirst and fatigue.

The helicopter went directly to Shishan Base Hospital. Cheng Suming rushed into the hospital holding Si Nan and took her to a single room. He prescribed and got medicine himself, first gave the unconscious Si Nan an infusion of grape solution, then checked her body. Except for frostbite on her hands and feet due to lack of movement, she did not suffer any other external injuries.

Seeing her fainted, Cheng Suming knew that she was exhausted due to hunger and thirst, so he brought her a cup of hot water, dipped a cotton swab in the hot water, and moistened her dry lips little by little.

Sinan sensed the water source while he was unconscious, and opened his mouth thirstily, wanting to drink to his heart's content.

Seeing her actions, Cheng Suming picked up the water cup, took a small spoon, and fed water into her open mouth little by little.

She was fainting from exhaustion and couldn't drink too much water, fearing that her body couldn't handle it. Cheng Suming fed her a little and then put down the spoon in his hand, put the cup aside, covered her with warm blankets, stroked her pale face, and whispered softly, "Anan, have a good sleep. When you wake up, we'll eat and drink something, okay?"

I don’t know if Si Nan heard what he said, but she didn’t open her mouth to look for water and just lay in bed in a daze for two days.

When she woke up again, she felt a dull pain in her hands and feet. She was so frightened that she reflexively wanted to take out a weapon to defend herself. Suddenly, she saw herself lying on the hospital bed with an IV drip, and Cheng Suming was holding frostbite cream in his hand, applying it to her frostbitten hands and feet.

She was stunned for a moment, but soon came to her senses, realizing that she was saved and safe. With red eyes, she looked at Cheng Suming, "Suming..."

The voice sounded extremely aggrieved and tearful.

"It's okay. I'm here, no one will hurt you again." Cheng Suming hugged her distressedly, his eyes reddened, and he said in a choked voice, "I'm sorry for putting you in danger time and time again. From now on, I will never leave you and let you get hurt."

All of Si Nan's grievances disappeared at this moment. He struggled in Cheng Su Ming's arms for a while and said weakly, "I'm so hungry. If you have anything to say, wait until I'm full and satisfied, okay?"

She was weak now, so naturally she couldn't eat any oily food. In front of her was a light and salty vegetable porridge, a brown sugar steamed bun, a boiled egg, and a cup of hot water.

Si Nan hadn't eaten for several days, so her eyes lit up when she saw food. The vegetable porridge was steaming, and she was afraid that it would be too hot and uncomfortable to eat, so she held a steamed bun in her left hand and an egg in her right hand, and stuffed them into her mouth in two or three gulps. Naturally, she choked.

Everyone stood beside the bed, watching her eat with red eyes.

Seeing that she was choking, Sheng's mother, Sheng Youqing, Cheng Wei, Liu Dalin, Si Yufang and others all said in unison: "Eat slowly!"

They came forward to massage her back and gave her water to drink.

Others also felt bad when they saw Si Nan’s hungry and thin appearance.

During the days when Si Nan disappeared, everyone was extremely anxious. They imagined countless possibilities and dropped their work. They searched for Si Nan everywhere in the snow and wind, in the freezing temperatures and in the dangerous snow.

As the days passed, the longer time dragged on, the more serious the bad feeling in their hearts became.

Now Si Nan has returned in perfect condition. He is not missing arms and legs, or suffering from all kinds of abuse and humiliation, or having external injuries as they imagined. He just lost a lot of weight due to hunger.

While everyone was relieved, they also realized that Si Nan's return alive was a blessing in disguise.

People who came to the ward were usually taken care of by Si Nan. She used to be full of energy, but now her hands were shaking badly when she took food, and she looked extremely hungry when she ate, like a starving ghost reincarnated. This was the look no one had ever seen her in before.

Everyone felt sad, even Mao Pingzhen and her daughter, who had always been at odds with Sinan, felt bad at the moment.

The crazy Si Yufang also came to consciousness and sobbed.

Si Nan took a deep breath, looked at the people in the room looking at her with red eyes, and said helplessly: "Don't look at me like that, it makes me feel so exhausted that I can't even eat."

"Everyone is worried about you." Liu Dalin wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, turned around and said with a smile, "Everyone is happy that you are back safely. Even your aunt and cousin are so happy to know that you are back. They will ask for leave from the leaders of the agricultural park immediately. If the leaders don't approve the leave, they will come with me to see you even if they don't want the points for today."

Si Nan saw it. She had always thought that Mao Pingzhen and her daughter wished her dead, but she didn't expect that the mother and daughter would come to see her. She felt strange.

After Si Nan finished all the food, everyone rushed to take away the plates and utensils. Cheng Su Ming fed her two vitamin pills to supplement her physical fitness. Seeing that everyone was looking at her eagerly, he looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he wanted to ask her what happened.

She sighed, glanced at Cheng Suming who was sitting next to her, and her eyes indicated that she could no longer hide it.

Cheng Suming put two pillows behind her back and sighed, "Go ahead."
