Bi Qiaoan saw it and responded enthusiastically.
However, Shen Yanming was a bit behind, as he was so busy chatting with his wife that he completely neglected his son.
Bi Qiaoan noticed that the father and son had gotten darker and thinner, and asked with some concern, "Have you not been eating well?"
Shen Yanming just smiled and didn't say anything.
Bi Qiaoan realized she had asked a pointless question, so she changed the subject, saying, "How many days have you been gone? When will you be back? Where did you go? You haven't already left Hai City, have you?"
Shen Yanming nodded: "We've arrived in Suzhou. We've almost run out of food. Time to head back."
"It's really far away." Bi Qiaoan suddenly felt a little sad. "It's been almost a month. I miss you all so much!"
Shen Yanming fell silent. Once outside, he wouldn't be able to make his own decisions anymore; he'd have to follow the captain's orders.
Bi Qiaoan sniffed, wiped away her tears, and asked with a nasal voice, "Did you find anything?"
"Yes!" Shen Yanming said with certainty.
Before Bi Qiaoan could even ask, she put an egg-sized space stone into her spatial storage. The space stone turned into tiny specks and vanished without a trace.
Bi Qiaoan was stunned and hurriedly said, "Have you forgotten that the space can absorb space stones? Look, everything is gone!"
"It's alright, we've had a good haul this time, one stone is nothing." Shen Yanming said, taking off his backpack and unzipping it. Bi Qiaoan saw through her spatial ability that the bag was full of black stones.
Bi Qiaoan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "How can there be so many?"
"I don't know either. We didn't find two along the way, but once we got to Suzhou, the space stones just started popping up like they were free. This is what An'an and I have been working on for a week."
"What about the others? Are there just this many?"
"Probably not. An'an and I have good eyesight, and there are two of us," Shen Yanming said with a smile.
Bi Qiaoan, however, was not so happy. The sudden appearance of the space stone made her somewhat worried.
"You should come back sooner; I'm getting anxious."
Shen Yanming fell silent once again.
He had a bad feeling, but everyone in the team was blinded by the space stone and couldn't bear to leave. He tried to persuade them several times, but each time they said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, we'll definitely be back tomorrow!"
Shen Yanming had no choice but to stay with them. He had his own spatial ability, so he could hide if anything happened. It was just that An'an had to stay with him every step of the way.
To avoid worrying Bi Qiaoan, he didn't say any of this. He only comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."
Bi Qiaoan sighed, feeling somewhat powerless.
I got up, took a plate of fruit from the shelf, and lazily lay down on the bird's nest hanging chair, eating it absentmindedly.
Shen Yanming saw this but didn't say anything. He withdrew his consciousness and listlessly ate the dry food in his hand.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, with a force even greater than when the Haishi base was destroyed last time.
Everyone was startled. They quickly shouldered their backpacks, packed their belongings, and looked around. But they saw nothing.
The ground shook violently for five minutes without stopping. Shen Yanming and An'an supported each other, both looking somewhat frightened. Still unsure what was happening, neither dared to make a move.
Qi Xili and Qi Lin also came over. The two of them shielded Shen Yanming and An'an in the middle. The father and son were very touched, but they really didn't need it.
The remaining guards, under the command of Captain Liang Huaxin, huddled together in groups of three or five. They supported each other, barely managing to avoid falling.
Suddenly, Shen Yanming felt a burning sensation on the soles of his feet. The others did too, and all lowered their heads. They then missed the thick smoke rising in the distance...
Because she was preoccupied, Bi Qiaoan withdrew her consciousness from her spatial dimension. She was busy eating fruit and tending the land, completely unaware of the outside world. As a result, she failed to warn them of the danger immediately.
In Suzhou, a group of people were surprised to find the ground steaming. Someone curiously stepped on it and almost burned the soles of their feet.
It screamed and tried to get away, but the shoes were already stuck to its feet. It could barely stand, let alone run forward.
Of course, with smoke billowing all around, they didn't know where to run.
"Captain, what's going on? What should we do?"
"Go back to Haishi, return the same way, quickly!" Liang Huaxin didn't know either, but he instinctively felt that was the right thing to do.
Even if I can't escape in the end, I'll die in my hometown.
Without a word, Shen Yanming reached into his backpack and put all the space stones into his space. Not a single one was left.
While still in a daze, Bi Qiaoan suddenly realized that she was surrounded by starlight, but before she could see it clearly, it disappeared.
The space has also undergone tremendous changes. She can now control not only a large area on the mountain where the planting area is located, but also a portion of the storage area.
Bi Qiaoan was stunned, not knowing how Shen Yanming had suddenly brought in so many space stones.
Wait, something's wrong! Otherwise, Old Shen wouldn't have acted so recklessly!
She hurriedly used her consciousness to explore the space and saw a scene that she would never forget.
In the distance, a mountain peak appeared to have split open. Dark gray smoke billowed into the sky, while orange-red lava flowed down with tremendous speed, spreading rapidly forward. And that direction was precisely where her husband, Old Shen, was.
"Husband, run!" Bi Qiaoan shouted hoarsely, her face covered in tears, completely unaware that Shen Yanming was already running away.
He and An'an were so terrified that their legs went weak, but the scorching air urged them to keep running forward, not daring to stop.
Qi Xili also regretted not persuading everyone to go back earlier, but what could he do now? He could only speed things up!
He grabbed An'an with one hand, but pushed Qi Lin with the other: "Son, run by yourself, run faster! If Dad is gone, live a good life, don't cry!"
Qi Lin burst into tears, grabbing Qi Xili's arm and shaking his head: "No, I'll stay with you. I've been without a mother since I was little, and you raised me. If you leave, what's the point of my life? Dad, don't give up!"
His voice was loud, but the sounds of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and rolling lava were even louder.
Qi Xili's ears were ringing, and he couldn't hear what Qi Lin said.
Feeling his trembling, I was both angry and heartbroken for this disobedient son.
Shen Yanming heard it clearly, but he didn't remind Qi Xili.
He hadn't expected that even at a time like this, Lao Qi would still be willing to stay and help him and An'an. He was somewhat moved, and even made a certain decision. If he couldn't escape, he would...
In that case, it would be safer for Qi Lin to stay by his side.
The group ran forward frantically, not even caring about the food.
And space stones are worthless in the face of life and death. Everyone threw down their bags and ran even faster.
But Shen Yanming and An'an lagged behind. It was partly intentional, but mostly because the two of them were weak in the knees.
The scalding lava was chasing after them, and Bi Qiao, inside the space, was on tenterhooks. She remained silent, observing the situation outside.
Gradually, the lava flow slowed down...
