Chapter 288: A Show of Power
Aunt Shan had no choice but to return to the shelter, hoping that Shan Daming would have a change of heart and bring the stone here first.
But she and her sisters-in-law searched every corner of the shelter and found no trace of Shan Daming and Shitou.
There were several large shelters like this one, and she didn't know whether she should go to the shelters one by one to look for people, or wait until the crisis at the base was completely resolved and then ask the armed forces for help again.
Either way, it's time consuming.
Aunt Shan was shaking all over, pulling Jiang Zixuan and shouting in panic, "That heartless beast, he can do anything. Even if Shitou is his son, he can still do it! Girls, what should I do?"
As she spoke, she squatted on the ground exhausted and shouted in despair, "If, if the Great Wall was still there... If Stone's uncle was still there..."
Jiang Zixuan and Zhou Xiaolai looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Zhou Xiaolai helped Aunt Shan up and kept comforting her, while Jiang Zixuan went back to Jin Mohan and told him about the stone.
Jin Mohan didn't say anything. Personally, he didn't want to get involved in this mess.
Jingchen rarely expressed his serious attitude, "Old Dan is gone now. There is no reason for us to stand by and watch his nephew get into trouble."
It would be fine if they were not in the unified base, but since they are there, it is impossible for them to pretend not to see it.
He nodded coldly. Although his mouth was closed tighter than a clam shell, it was obvious that he was also worried about Shan Changcheng's family.
Along the way, they are not only friends, but also excellent comrades who share life and death and rely on each other many times.
Helping comrades take care of their families is what we should do.
Without further ado, several people immediately split up and started looking for people in several shelters. If they found them, they would contact them via text messages or walkie-talkies.
Jiang Zixuan was extremely anxious, but Jin Mohan was still slow, obviously thinking about his own things.
"Hubby, how about you go back to the space?" In a hidden corner, Jiang Zixuan called out the space, wanting to push Jin Mohan in. "It's quieter in the space, and you can think more clearly there."
Jin Mohan finally reacted. He looked up at her, with a hint of grievance in his words.
"Are you complaining that I'm holding you back?"
"How could that be?" Jiang Zixuan approached him with amusement, tiptoed slightly, held his cheeks with both hands, and said seriously, "I know you have something on your mind, and it's fine if I can't share your burden, but why would I dislike you?"
Jin Mohan raised his eyebrows, "Is it obvious?"
"Except for Lai Lai, we have all found out, okay?" Jiang Zixuan put her forehead against Jin Mohan's and said softly, "I know you are troubled, so if you have something to think about, just go back to the space and let us handle the things outside."
Jin Mohan was silent for a moment, then chuckled, "It's not a big deal, I'll verify it when I have a chance."
"Will you tell me then?"
"certainly."
He is not someone who gets easily entangled and will not push himself into a dead end, so even if he feels surprised, he will not pay too much attention to the matter.
Since Shan Changcheng's family needs help, let's deal with the stone issue first.
Several people split up and each searched for the stone in a shelter.
They are all people with special abilities. Their energy, physical strength, vision and hearing are better than those of ordinary people. It is easier for them to find her than Aunt Shan.
However, an hour later, after searching all the shelters, they did not see any trace of Shi Tou and Shan Da Gong.
After they reunited, Jing Chen said in a deep voice, "I heard from Old Dan that Dan Dagong is an extremely selfish scum with no sense of family affection. It is definitely not a good thing for him to kidnap Shitou at such a critical moment."
"That's right," Jiang Zixuan said, "According to Shan Dayong's personality, if there is real danger, he will definitely run for his life. How could he have a conscience and bring a burden like Stone with him?"
She didn't have a deep impression of Shan Daming. She only vaguely remembered that in order to save his own life, he was so cruel as to kill even his relatives who were very kind to him.
Zhou Xiaolai also felt that something was wrong. "I also have a bad feeling. If Shan Daming took Shitou away to protect him, there is no way he would leave the shelter."
But they searched every corner and didn't see any trace of the two people.
Jin Mohan watched for a moment and whispered, "Let's go to other parts of the base to find Shan Daming first."
Right now the entire base is busy fighting against zombie monsters. All entrances and exits of the base are closed, so Dan Damiao should not be able to get out.
As long as people are still in the base, Dan Dayong probably wouldn't dare to do anything to the stone.
However, it is not easy to find people in such a large base.
Leng Mo suggested that they go and talk to Qiu Liren first to see if he could think of any solution.
Jiang Zixuan contacted Qiu Liren via text message, but it took more than ten minutes before she received a reply from Qiu Liren.
Qiu Liren seemed to have some idea about the matter, so he asked them to stay in the administrative building. He would go to find them as soon as he finished the things at hand.
So, the group rushed to the administrative building and welcomed Qiu Liren half an hour later.
Qiu Liren strode over from the scorching sun. Wearing a heavy military protective uniform, he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water, and was soaked all over.
"Brother Qiu, do you have any clues?" As soon as they met, Jiang Zixuan asked the question first and handed over a bottle of light salt drink.
Qiu Liren's lips turned pale. He tilted his head back and gulped down a large bottle of water. His pale face finally looked better.
"I don't know any clues about Shan Damiao, but when we were fighting against the zombie beasts, a tunnel was dug on the east side. It is very likely that an external enemy entered and exited."
The zombie beasts were causing a huge commotion in the southwest, drawing everyone's attention there and causing them to ignore the east side where the fighting was the easiest.
By the time the patrol troops discovered the tunnel, something might have already happened inside the base.
This time the monsters' attack on the Unified Base was probably just a warning from the Viper Base and Wang Zhengzhu to Qiu Ming.
Previously, when Qiu Ming was on his way back from Haizhou, the Viper Base failed to kill him, but this time they used monsters to tell him that the Viper Base would always regard him as their mortal enemy.
Qiu Ming was still commanding operations in the southwest, while Qiu Liren and another commander, Gao Jianyi, were responsible for dispatch within the base.
Gao Jianyi came back from the east side and his face turned dark when he saw Qiu Liren.
"Xiao Qiu, according to eyewitness reports, a group of people rushed in from the tunnel and abducted many people from the base."
Gao Jianyi strode over, and when he saw Jiang Zixuan and her group, he nodded at them solemnly and greeted them.
Qiu Liren asked Gao Jianyi about the details and understood the whole thing.
When everyone's attention was attracted by the monster, a group of people dug a tunnel and sneaked into the base, kidnapped some old, weak and sick people, and no one knew where they went.
Qiu Liren didn't think that the Viper Base and the Wang family made such a big fuss just to take away some of the non-working population and deliberately cause trouble for the base.
They must be plotting some conspiracy, waiting for the right moment to turn the world upside down.
As several people were discussing countermeasures, they suddenly saw an eagle flying down from the sky.
The eagle landed on Qiu Liren's arm, and Qiu Liren took off a small roll of paper from its feet.
