Qi Yanxuan, a member of the Gale Squad from the apocalypse, accidentally transmigrated into an ancient apocalyptic escape novel. Amidst a series of natural disasters including drought, blizzards, e...
The men worked together to carry away the thick trees, while the elderly, the weak, women and children picked up the remaining smaller broken branches and stones. Everyone was busy.
Qi Yanxuan and the other two went two miles away, leaving two miles for everyone to clear the road. They went to the front to clear the road first, otherwise it would depend on ordinary people. It would take more than two days to clear this mountain road.
The three of them divided the work and cooperated. The thick wood blocking the road was collected by Qi Yanxuan into the space, and the stones were quickly cleared away by Shen Yanshan using his supernatural power. Some scattered broken branches were blown away by Shen Yanqing's gust of wind. The three of them went all the way to the foot of the mountain, and the road was quickly cleared. After doing this, they returned to the cave, and everyone had finished cleaning up and were on their way back.
The three of them first returned to the cave and moved the two carriages out of the cave when no one was around. They also put the food into the space, leaving only some in the carriage as a pretense. They also asked Shen Yanshan to extract the pure part from the stalactites in the cave and put it into the space, thinking that he himself could not use this thing, but Doctor Xu could, and it would be useful in the future.
After everyone came back, they packed up their own carts and food. Doctor Xu still wanted to take some stalactites with him. Qi Yanxuan took out a few pieces from the space and handed them to him, which made him give up the idea of digging.
After everything was packed up, everyone started to hurry on their way.
…
It was not until noon the next day that everyone came out of the forest.
The ruins not far from the woods should have been a village. From a distance, there were only broken walls everywhere.
When everyone passed by the village, Qi Yanxuan heard the faint cry of a child.
Qi Yanxuan lifted the car curtain and said, "Uncle, Aqing, stop for a moment. I heard a child crying."
Upon hearing this, the two men stopped the carriage. After calming down, they heard intermittent crying sounds coming from the ruins.
The three of them got off the carriage and came to the place closest to the crying.
Qi Yanxuan glanced at Shen Yanshan, and the other party immediately understood. He used his supernatural power to cover the ruins and go deep underneath to find the source of the crying.
A moment later, the child was found in the woman's arms against the wall in the corner of the bed. The child had been crying for a long time, and his crying was intermittent. If the three of them were not psychics, they probably would not have been able to hear the weak cry.
After Shen Yanshan found out the results, he said to the two: "It's a child about one year old, protected in his mother's arms. The two of them are in the corner, and the woman is dead."
"Then hurry up and dig! It's been so many days, it's lucky that the child can hold on until we get here."
After Qi Yanxuan finished speaking, the three of them started moving bricks. The others couldn't hear the child's crying and didn't know what the three of them were going to do.
The village chief came over to ask the reason, "Yanshan! What are you doing?"
Shen Yanshan turned around and replied: "There is a child crying underneath, let's dig it up and see!"
"Child? Then I'll go get someone to help dig!"
As the village chief was about to go back to call people, Qi Yanxuan hurriedly stopped him.
"Village Chief! No need for that. If there are too many people, it might cause a secondary collapse and crush the people inside!"
The village chief paused when he heard this and asked, "Are there any living people under the other ruins?"
Shen Yanshan shook his head. "It's been so many days. Not to mention being killed by a collapsed building, he wouldn't even survive without water. I don't know how this child survived."
After saying this, he said no more and quickly moved the piled up bricks away. The others could not help and could only watch from the side.
After a stick of incense, all the obstacles were removed, and a woman curled up in the corner was revealed.
The woman held the child tightly in her arms, leaning her upper body to block the falling objects for the child. The dried blood on her head and body must have been caused by the falling bricks.
The child was blocked by the woman. The three men went forward to take the child out, but the woman's body was already stiff. If they tried to take the child out, they would break her arms.
The three men had no other choice but to break the woman's arms and take the unconscious child.
When Shen Yanshan broke the arm, he found that the woman's right hand was covered with bite marks on several fingers. The scars were so deep that the bones were visible. The flesh that was turned over was already stiff and white.
"Xiaoxuan! What do you think is going on?"
Qi Yanxuan was just using his wood-type ability to restore the child's body. When he heard Shen Yanshan's question, he lowered his head and looked at the place where Shen Yanshan pointed.
The moment I saw the woman’s scars and thought of her living child, what was there to understand?
He had seen this scene many times: in the corner of the apocalyptic safe base, a mother without milk was feeding her child with her own blood. The first time he encountered this scene, he gave the milk powder he collected to the mother. But the next day when he went to find the mother with maternal and child supplies, he found that she and her child were dead in the tent, and the milk powder he gave her was nowhere to be found.
From then on, he understood that he could not help these people. Even if he gave her food, she would not be able to protect herself and would die instead.
After that, he never cared about these people again, because the mother's experience made him realize that without strength, life-saving things could also become the cause of death.
"The child is alive because of those wounds. His mother bit her finger and fed him her own blood, which is how he survived until now."
Both of them fell silent after hearing this.
The child's body recovered and he woke up after being repaired by his supernatural powers.
The one-year-old boy was fair and clean, with big round eyes like grapes, looking at Qi Yanxuan who was holding him.
Then he looked around as if looking for something, until he saw the woman's body on the ground. The child opened his arms and babbled, asking his mother to hold him. Seeing that his mother ignored him, he flattened his mouth in grievance and started crying loudly, and did not lower his arms that were open for the woman to hold him while crying.
Qi Yanxuan didn't know how to comfort the crying child and seemed a little helpless.
Seeing this, Shen Yanshan took the child over, held him in his arms and patted his back, coaxing them while saying to them: "Burn her body and put it in a jar and take it away! Bury her after she settles down, so that the child will know where his mother is in the future!"
The two nodded after hearing this and carried the woman's body far away. After they could no longer see anyone, Shen Yanqing activated his supernatural power and released a blue flame.
The blue flames instantly covered the body as soon as they touched it, and after a moment, only ashes remained on the ground.
Qi Yanxuan took out a ceramic jar, put the ashes in it and put it into the space warehouse.
The two returned to the team. The child was held by Shen Yanshan and had stopped crying. Qi Yanxuan took the child into the carriage, and everyone continued to move forward.
In the carriage.
Shen Yanqing sat aside, controlling the temperature of the supernatural fire with his palm to boil water. After the water boiled, Qi Yanxuan took out a can of milk powder and a glass bottle from the space.
Pour the milk powder into the bottle, dissolve it with boiling water, add Lingquan water, drop a drop of milk on the back of your hand to test the temperature before handing it to the child.
