Zhu Shiliang patted his forehead: "That's true! If Ranran were in the same situation as me, his mother would probably cry her eyes out."

Shen Yanming helped him up: "My An'an has always hung out with the team members since he was little, which is quite different from Ranran."

Zhu Shiliang was even more envious when he heard this. Because An'an, who was in the team, was clearly more responsible than his Ranran.

In peacetime, Ranran's refined and scholarly demeanor would be quite appealing, but this is the apocalypse! Sigh!

The group rested here for more than an hour, and then Qi Xili waved his hand and set off!

Guards and ordinary people helped each other, forming a large and impressive procession.

Among the wounded were two with fractures, Qi Xili and Liang Huaxin, and two other guards, who carried them one by one.

The path was winding and had a slight incline. Everyone firmly believed that as long as they kept going, they would reach the top of the mountain.

Even if it's not possible...

Ha, it's not impossible!

Two hours later, they found another person unconscious. Shen Yanming asked Yu Shui beside him, "Do you recognize this person?"

Yu Shui shook her head: "I don't recognize him."

Shen Yanming thought to himself, this is probably the third batch to go missing.

But he couldn't say it outright. He knelt down, fed the person the medicine and inserted ginseng slices, and then had the guards carry him forward.

But we hadn't walked for half an hour when we met another one. After that, we met more than a dozen more.

The guards were dumbfounded. What was going on? They had found so much stuff on a winding path.

They were all still unconscious, but alive.

The guards who carried the person were exhausted after walking for so long. They put the person down on the ground and collapsed to the side.

I was hungry and cold, and I couldn't hold on any longer.

“This won’t do, it’s too slow!” Shen Yanming frowned. “How about we send two people ahead? If they can find help, great. If not, they can wait for us up ahead.”

Qi Xili looked at him intently when he heard this, but Shen Yanming shook his head: "I can't, I have to take care of the wounded."

He's actually the best choice, but there are so many people here, and they're almost at their wits' end. If he leaves, who will feed and water them at night?

Qi Xili was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't press the matter.

The group sat down to discuss the matter and ultimately decided that Liang Huaxin would take Er Mao back to seek help, while the others would follow behind.

Shen Yanming didn't speak, but used his spatial ability to replace the dried fruit in their bags with spirit dried fruit, and also increased the quantity by two.

The price of milk tablets has doubled too. I wonder if those two silly kids will notice anything amiss.

After they left, Shen Yanming used his consciousness to tell Bi Qiaoan about it.

"I still don't think it will work. Even if Liang Huaxin and Er Mao can walk, how fast can they walk? Suzhou is so big, and Shanghai isn't small either. I'm afraid they won't be able to get out in a few days. Honey, can you think of a solution for us?"

Bi Qiaoan pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I'll give it a try."

After saying that, she took Nuannuan out of the space, splashed some water on her forehead and cheeks, and stumbled out of the cave, heading straight for Wen Chaohui's office.

Along the way, she attracted many curious glances, but Bi Qiaoan simply ignored them.

"Wen Mengguan, I've found my old Shen!" Bi Qiaoan said breathlessly, leaning against the wall, her face full of urgency and anticipation.

"What?" Wen Chaohui stood up excitedly.

But after calming down, she sat down again: "We couldn't even find the guards, how did you find them?"

“I dreamt about it!” Bi Qiaoan said.

"Nonsense!" Wen Chaohui slammed his hand on the table, but couldn't bring himself to criticize him too harshly.

"I'm not kidding! Officer Wen, I saw it clearly. The environment, the people, the details—it's all there. It doesn't seem like a dream at all. I believe it's real!"

Seeing the earnest look in her eyes, Wen Chao asked, "So tell me, what did you dream about?"

Bi Qiaoan omitted what happened in the passage and went straight to talking about "The Narrow Passage".

"I dreamt that they were tired, thirsty, and hungry, trapped in a narrow crevice. Above them was the sky, but only a sliver. Under their feet was a winding passage, but they could never reach the end."

I dreamt that they picked up many people on the road, probably the missing ones. They were all still alive, but injured.

“Wen Mengguan, please send people to look for the cracks. If you can’t find them on the ground, go check the mountains. After the volcanic eruption, the terrain of Su City may have changed, turning the former flat land into mountains, and they might be trapped inside.”

Wen Chaohui's eyes lit up, and he immediately arranged for people to search the area. The focus was on checking for ground fissures and mountain ranges.

He had no other choice but to try anything, hoping to rescue the person by accident.

"If possible, could you take me to the scene? Maybe I can be of help!"

Wen Chao thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, you should stay at the base."

What if something goes wrong? How will he explain it to Xiao Shen?

Bi Qiaoan was somewhat disappointed, but in any case, she had achieved her goal.

"By the way, Officer Wen, I dreamt that my old Shen and his men would light bonfires at night. Could you have the helicopter patrol around at night and see where the fires are?"

There are practically no survivors in that area of ​​Suzhou right now. Wherever there are survivors, there's a possibility that rescue is needed.

Wen Chao nodded, thinking that they had already used this tactic. However, they had been focusing on the ground before and might have missed it.

What Wen Chaohui didn't know was that when the helicopter search was underway, Shen Yanming and the others were still in the tunnel. The people outside were unconscious, so of course they couldn't send a signal. But now, things are different.

After returning to the cave, Bi Qiaoan said to Shen Yanming, "Honey, make the fire bigger tonight, and the helicopter will come to search and rescue."

Shen Yanming felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, because he had just arranged for Liang Huaxin and Er Mao to leave. He suddenly felt rather foolish.

Bi Qiaoan, inside the virtual space, also felt foolish. If she had known her words would be useful, she would have said them much earlier. It would have saved Lao Shen and the others from constantly wandering outside.

Shen Yanming wasn't the type to make the best of a bad situation. After learning about their plans, he went to the front and whispered a few words to Qi Xili.

Qi Xili looked at Shen Yanming suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure?"

Shen Yanming nodded: "Just now, I had a very strong intuition that we shouldn't separate."

Qi Xili looked at the road ahead: "But they've been gone for over an hour."

"An'an and I will go after them!" After Shen Yanming finished speaking, he got Qi Xili's approval and ran away with An'an.

The two were very fast and caught up with Liang Huaxin and Er Mao, who were moving at top speed, in less than an hour.

"Stop running! Stop running! Wait here!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Shen Yanming shook his head: "I just suddenly had a premonition that I can't let you leave. Sorry, I didn't think it through when I said that. It's safer for us to stay together."

Liang Huaxin didn't doubt it much, because this guy was exceptionally lucky. Since he said they couldn't be separated, they were probably meant to stay together.
