The four found a sheltered spot to hide, and Shen Yanming even gathered some firewood from the surrounding area and lit it.
Although it's daytime and the firelight isn't very noticeable, what if...?
As for smoke, forget about it. Where are we? It's a narrow passage between cliffs! The smoke wouldn't even drift out before the wind blew it away.
Liang Huaxin didn't suspect his purpose; he was cold anyway, so it was a good opportunity to warm himself by the fire.
The group huddled around the fire talking. Several hours later, Qi Xili and his group arrived, and the group had grown.
At the same time, it got completely dark.
Because Shen Yanming and An'an had found enough firewood, Qi Xili and the others didn't need to do anything else after they arrived.
They picked up about ten people on the road, which was quite a burden.
However, when Shen Yanming and An'an were chasing Liang Huaxin and the others, they found someone lying on the ground and gave them medicine.
So although these people were unconscious, their lives were saved.
Nighttime was not a good time to travel, so they rested where they were. Shen Yanming blew out a handful of medicinal powder, and everyone fell asleep.
It was the same routine: feeding them water, food, and medicine. Shen Yanming felt like he was turning into a super nanny.
An'an helped him from the side, and by the time they finished, it was already late.
The father and son leaned against the cliff face, waiting for that glimmer of hope.
To make himself more noticeable, Shen Yanming took several high-powered flashlights from his spatial storage and placed them next to the fire, head up.
The helicopter that came from Haishi had already circled around Sushi in the afternoon, but it hadn't found its target.
They initially wanted to give up, but after being instructed by the Wen Alliance official, they came out again.
Neither the driver nor the rescue team had any hope, but they knew that Wen Mengguan was anxious, so they were all working diligently to complete their tasks.
"Pay close attention to the flames at the crack..." Wu Wei muttered, his eyes fixed intently on the area below.
Suzhou was completely dark, with no light source at all.
After wandering around for two hours and just as I was about to head back, I heard a series of crackling sounds coming from afar.
At first glance, it sounds like something exploded, but if you listen carefully, you'll find it sounds a bit like firecrackers.
"Quick, over there, let's go see what's going on!" Wu Wei pointed in a direction and said.
With no objections from the others, the pilot took control of the direction and flew in that direction.
After playing the recording, Shen Yanming quickly put the speaker back into his spatial storage. He then asked Bi Qiaoan with his mind, "Darling, is this okay?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Great!"
It turned out that Shen Yanming had been waiting for a long time but hadn't seen a helicopter fly by.
Bi Qiaoan was quite certain that the rescue team had been on its way for some time.
After discussing it, the couple realized that it might be due to the terrain that Shen Yanming couldn't see them, and they couldn't see Shen Yanming either.
So Bi Qiaoan came up with a plan: to make some noise and attract the attention of the helicopter.
Since there were no firecrackers stored in the space, Bi Qiaoan extracted a recording from a movie and had Shen Yanming play it through the speakers.
The speaker has an amplification effect, so maybe people outside can hear it.
As for why no explosion sound was used, well, Bi Qiaoan was afraid of scaring people away. After all, most people couldn't withstand that kind of thing.
The helicopter hovered near the source of the sound, but even after staring for a long time, Wu Wei couldn't see a single person.
However, being a thoughtful person, he took out a megaphone and shouted, "Hey, is anyone there?"
The teammate next to him frowned and said, "If you can't even hear the propeller, you'll definitely be even less likely to hear what you're saying."
But to everyone's surprise, Shen Yanming, who was at the bottom of the ditch, heard it. He shouted, but there was no response from above.
Shen Yanming put away the extra high-powered flashlights, leaving only one in his hand, which he then waved around.
After the antidote was scattered, Qi Xili and the others woke up one after another.
"Old Qi, quick, shout with me!"
"What?" Qi Xili had just woken up and was still a little confused.
"I hear someone outside, shout with me!"
Qi Xili was skeptical, but still shouted along with Shen Yanming.
The others who woke up also joined the two in shouting, though they didn't understand why.
Dozens of people shouted at the same time, and their voices were quite loud. Shen Yanming felt the mountain wall shake, but he didn't know if the other party had heard him.
He tried to extend his consciousness outwards, but unfortunately, it couldn't reach beyond the mountains.
Shen Yanming could only try his best to make some noise on the cliff face, hoping to attract the attention of those people in the air.
"I heard it, it sounds like someone is shouting." Wu Wei was a little excited, but the others remained unmoved.
Seeing that no one believed him, Wu Wei suggested, "How about you let me down and I look for it?"
"No, it's too dangerous! What if something happens to you? How will we explain it to your family?" Captain Tong Hongshun frowned and refused.
"But Officer Wen said they might have fallen off a cliff or into a crevice. What if one of them survived but lost their life because of our negligence? Do you think you'd be at peace with yourself after that?"
"But......"
"Captain, let me go! I really heard them shouting!"
"How about we come back tomorrow? It's pitch black now, what if you slip and fall..."
"Captain, it's better to search when it's dark! We can focus on the lights in the gaps. The helicopter is flying so high, those tiny lights are nowhere to be seen. Let me go down and look for them. It's just this area, it won't take long to search."
Tong Hongshun hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I'll go with you."
Upon seeing this, several guards on board said, "Captain, let's go too. We're already out here, let's look for it."
"Okay!" Tong Hong agreed, but added, "Everyone be careful."
After saying that, the group put on their equipment and stepped off the helicopter using the rope ladder.
However, as soon as they came down, Tong Hongshun asked everyone to tie themselves together with a rope. This was to prevent anyone from accidentally falling behind or slipping and causing an accident.
No one objected, and they quickly tied the ropes around themselves. Wu Wei, who had the best eyesight and hearing, went ahead to scout the way.
Song Dezhou piloted the helicopter to the foot of the mountain because the place where Tong Hongshun and the others went down was a steep slope, which was not suitable for parking.
He didn't follow, but stayed on the helicopter, ready to provide assistance at any time.
Below the cliff, Shen Yanming heard the sound of the propeller disappear and became anxious, so he shouted even louder.
The others were taken aback by this sudden outburst, and then followed his example, raising their voices.
In the distance, Wu Wei's ears twitched; he felt as if the sound was both close at hand and far away.
He followed his instincts and climbed up the mountain, but when he shone his flashlight, he found nothing.
Wu Wei even wondered if this was just his imagination, or a voice from a parallel universe.
But he dared not speak, fearing he would miss the chance to find news of his missing teammates.
He just kept rushing up the mountain with his head covered, which puzzled his teammates behind him.
"There's nothing on this mountain, why is Wu Wei in such a hurry?"
"I don't know, we'll just follow them and see!"
