Chapter 435 He held her tightly in his arms
Countless hailstones fell from the sky, some as big as fists, and some as big as pebbles.
They smashed onto the ground, covering the earth with a layer of transparent white.
The glass of the overturned vehicle was smashed, and several people inside let out screams of fear.
Liao Ran ordered the trucks in the team to stop next to the overturned vehicle, allowing the people inside to find an opportunity to get out and enter the trucks.
"Captain, save me, it hurts so much, I'm scared."
The people inside didn't dare to come out and were covered with wounds from the hail.
They protected their heads but were hit on their bodies.
"Come out, or we'll leave."
Liao Ran frowned and gave the order.
Not daring to delay any longer, the few people quickly got out of the car and ran into the truck while avoiding the hail.
"Go over there."
Gu Luan pointed in a certain direction to the left.
The driver looked at Liao Ran, and Liao Ran asked the driver to drive over there without hesitation.
“There’s a house there?!”
Liao Ran saw the house in the distance through the telescope, then turned around and looked at Gu Luan in surprise.
Did she see it, or just point at it randomly?
"Sister, you are so awesome!"
Jiang Wu was excited and admired, "How did you know there was a house over there?"
Gu Luan sat in the car and smiled, "Good eyesight."
"Is it just the eyesight?"
Jiang Wu muttered, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
They couldn't even see so far away, but Gu Luan knew it. How good must one's eyesight be?
The hail continued to fall and the car was speeding up.
Soon, a ruin appeared before everyone.
This used to be a primary school, but after being hit by a solar storm, only broken houses were left.
No building was intact and Liao Ran was having a headache about where to hide.
"Here, come here."
A man's voice was heard from the entrance of a ruined cave.
When Gu Luan heard this, he asked someone to drive over.
A disheveled man was hunching his neck at the entrance of the cave, with a man and a woman beside him.
The three men were lying at the entrance of the cave picking up the hailstones that fell in front of them.
“Is there anyone here?!”
Liao Ran was excited and happy when he saw a living person.
"Come in quickly."
The three were very happy to see Liao Ran and his friends and waved excitedly.
Others wouldn't dare to do this for fear of encountering bad guys, but Liao Ran and his team were driving a military vehicle.
This group of people knew that the people in the car might be soldiers, so they dared to greet them warmly.
Ten cars were parked in front of the cave entrance.
They didn't dare to get out of the car because the entrance of the cave could only accommodate three or four people.
Liao Ran sat in the car and drove one car after another as close to the cave entrance as possible.
Someone came out of the cave, holding a wooden board above his head.
With the help of the people living in the cave, they finally reached a safe place.
This is a basement, several hundred square meters in size, but there are only more than thirty people alive inside.
The messy man who greeted them was called Jian Yang, and he was the temporary leader here.
According to him, there were originally two to three hundred people living here, but now there are only about thirty people left.
These thirty-plus people were lucky enough to avoid the solar storm because they were resting in the basement.
They survived for a few days on little food.
When the hail fell, they managed to pick up a lot.
While picking up hail, they spotted a car coming towards them.
They were afraid that it was a bad guy until they saw it was a military vehicle.
Although the military vehicle might be driven by bad guys, they still decided to take a chance.
Because they were running out of food, they had to find a way to leave.
If it was a military vehicle sent from the base to rescue the survivors, they would be doomed if they missed it.
Fortunately, they won the bet.
When more than thirty people saw Liao Ran and others, they couldn't hold back their tears.
They expressed their sorrow and despair one by one, and Liao Ran comforted them with red eyes.
"Don't worry, we won't abandon anyone. When the hail stops, you can go back with us."
"Thank you, Captain Liao."
Gu Luan sat in the corner, closing his eyes tiredly.
No one dared to disturb her and let her rest.
The hail outside showed no sign of getting smaller, so everyone tried to pick up the hail and turn it into water.
The aroma of food filled the basement.
Duan Lin came over with a bowl of porridge and handed it to Gu Luan.
Gu Luan took it and thanked him.
She looked ahead and saw everyone drinking the porridge devoutly. After finishing, they licked the bowls for fear of wasting even a single drop.
"I have a bag of pickled mustard tuber here."
Jiang Wu walked over with a bag of expired pickled mustard tubers and handed it to Gu Luan like he was presenting a treasure.
Gu Luan smiled lightly, "You eat, I'll just drink the porridge."
There were plenty of pickled mustard tubers in her space, but she hardly ever ate any of them.
Usually when she and Jiang Xian had a poor appetite, they would eat the kimchi they made themselves.
As for the expired mustard tuber, she didn't dislike it, but she knew it was Jiang Wu's own thing and she couldn't take it.
"What's so good about white porridge? It's even better with some pickled mustard."
Jiang Wu tore open the package and handed it to Gu Luan.
Gu Luantui couldn't refuse and took a few, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what."
Jiang Wu smiled brightly, drinking white porridge with pickled mustard tubers, looking as if he was enjoying some delicious gourmet food.
After the meal, the basement became quiet.
They had been running all day and were very tired.
Gu Luan was not sleepy, so he walked to the cave entrance and looked outside.
The hail rained for several hours and the ground was covered with melted hail water.
Nearly a hundred people rushed out again to pick up hailstones when the hail stopped.
"Water, it's all water!"
"Hahaha, now we don't have to save water anymore."
"I really want to take a bath in hail water. I stink."
"What the hell are you dreaming about? You're bathing in hail water. You're so beautiful."
"Hahaha."
Happy laughter echoed in the air.
The temperature seems to have dropped a lot, at least ten degrees in one day, and now it is only around 40 degrees.
Forty degrees is nothing to people who are used to extreme heat.
As the temperature dropped, everyone became more excited.
The team continued on their journey. The car was smashed to pieces by hail, but fortunately it was still drivable.
Even the overturned car was repaired by Liao Ran and his men.
After the temperature dropped, the sun wasn't as hot, so I didn't need to rest for a while and run for a while.
Over the next two days, they covered all the places they needed to search and found more than 300 people.
The number is not large, but it is good enough to survive the solar storm.
As the team arrived at the base, a tall figure ran over.
Seeing him, Gu Luan smiled gently.
As soon as she got out of the car, she was hugged tightly.
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Xian's hoarse and low voice sounded.
"Well, what about you?"
Both of them were looking at each other. Apart from being a little tired and haggard from running around for several days, everything else was fine.
They both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.
This was the first time they had been apart in more than five years, and invisible worry and longing had been gnawing at their hearts.
"It's okay. I just miss you."
Jiang Xian said in a low voice.
On the first day of his departure, he wished he could fly to Gu Luan.
When the hail came, he was worried that something might happen to her.
Gu Luan's cheeks flushed slightly, "Okay, there are so many people outside."
She could feel people looking at her.
Jiang Wu stood not far from Gu Luan and Jiang Xian, acting coquettishly towards his wife.
His wife slapped him hard a few times and said, "Be serious."
Jiang Wu felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.
I obviously miss you, so why is it different from others?
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian tilted their heads and saw it, and were amused.
