Bi Qiaoan had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go back and keep an eye on things for you?"
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law!"
Bi Qiaoan forced a smile, feeling like she had just gotten herself into trouble.
But with so many eager eyes watching, she had no choice but to go, even if she had to grit her teeth!
Shen Yanming smiled and ruffled her long hair, saying, "It's alright, I'll help you."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, thinking to herself that she had to help even if she didn't want to.
However, she wasn't in a hurry. After all, things were different now. Consciousness could be used as mental energy, and she could observe the young girls in the base's public areas. If they were good-natured and single, she could act as a matchmaker for them.
Of course, these young men also need to be considered. Those with bad tempers or eccentricities will be excluded; we absolutely cannot let them ruin the girl's life.
Having made up her mind, she didn't say anything more. She served everyone porridge and took a bowl for herself as well.
After finishing their hot drinks, the group packed up their things and began their search for their teammates.
Although those people had been missing for so many days, and by all accounts they should be long gone, everyone still clung to the hope that, what if...?
What if they also have a miraculous encounter like Captain Qi, and manage to hold on, just waiting for rescue?
Therefore, they had to speed up their pace and find the missing team as soon as possible.
However, after searching all day, I still found nothing.
But they cannot give up.
That evening, when Bi Qiaoan was cooking for everyone, she used the same trick again, and Shen Yanming even sent her a telepathic message: "Add some ginseng slices, they're all exhausted."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and used her consciousness to put the ginseng slices into the pot. She would take them away when the pot was ready.
Everyone felt there was a medicinal aroma in the dinner, but the taste was very faint, and many people thought it was just their imagination.
I had a good night's sleep and continued my work the next day.
This time, the search area was expanded, and at noon, Wu Wei saw a figure in a deep ditch.
Because it was covered with soil and fallen leaves, it was not very obvious, and he almost missed it.
Still feeling something was off about the shape, I took a closer look. By examining the small patch of skin that was exposed, I confirmed that a person was buried underneath.
The ditch wasn't very deep, only twenty or thirty meters. But without protective measures, it could still be deadly.
No one knew whether the guy was alive or dead. After discussing it, they decided to send Shen Yanming down to check on his condition first.
If the person is still alive, provide emergency medical assistance. If the person is already deceased, tie them to a rope, pull them up, and take them back to the city for burial.
Shen Yanming had no objections and went downstairs after making preparations.
He reached the bottom of the ditch easily, and after brushing away the dead branches and leaves covering the man, he saw that his chest was rising and falling slightly, and knew that the man was still alive.
But his body was ice-cold, and he was emaciated. His breathing was faint, and Shen Yanming knew that this was his last breath.
He shook his head, thinking that if he hadn't met him, this man would probably be dead.
He quickly took out some spiritual spring water, pills, and ginseng slices from his bag and fed them to him, then shouted upwards, "He's still alive!"
After he finished speaking, two more guards came down.
Tong Hongshun had the helicopter hover overhead and lowered the makeshift stretcher down.
Several people carefully lifted the person onto a stretcher, and then the plane hoisted him up.
Shen Yanming noticed that the ditch was quite wide and thought there might be more victims ahead. So he called out, saying he would go ahead and search.
Liang Huaxin and Tong Hongshun agreed, and Shen Yanming led the two people who came down later forward.
The others went to other places to continue the search, splitting into several groups to speed things up.
Two hours later, Shen Yanming found two more people, still unconscious, in the same condition as the first one.
After giving them the medicine, he had the guards take them out so he could search further while it was still light.
Finally, at 10 p.m., the search of the ditch was completed. A total of eight people were found, six alive and two dead.
Those two starved to death; they didn't have any injuries. Of course, they could also have had internal injuries. Shen Yanming, being a mediocre person, couldn't tell.
Back at the temporary rest area, we learned that the other teams had also found their members.
There were about twenty-eight, four of whom had already died. The rest were given pills by Bi Qiaoan and they all came back to life.
However, due to his weakened state, Liang Huaxin was sent directly back to the base.
Despite the significant progress, everyone was feeling quite depressed because of the deaths.
Liang Huaxin comforted them: "You have to think about it. We saved so many people through our efforts! Otherwise, they would have been dead."
After thinking about it, everyone agreed.
If they hadn't persisted, they wouldn't have been able to save even these thirty-odd people. Thankfully, they didn't give up and saved so many brothers.
"There are still 69 to be found. Let's continue tomorrow. Good luck everyone!" After saying that, he lay down to rest.
This is so damn tiring, even more tiring than when he was searching for a way out at the bottom of the ditch.
Back then, we had goals and direction. Now, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The group quickly fell asleep. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were no exception. Neither of them knew what surprise awaited them at dawn.
Of course, it could also be from being frightened.
The next day at daybreak, after having a meal, the search and rescue team set off again.
Liang Huaxin led his men in one direction, while Tong Hongshun led his men in another.
The Shen family of four split into two teams: Bi Qiaoan and Nuannuan with Liang Huaxin, and Shen Yanming and An'an with Tong Hongshun.
The reason they did this was that the couple could use their consciousness as a form of psychic ability to reduce the difficulty of the search and rescue.
This was something the couple discussed online.
The two captains, unaware of this, glanced at the two men with puzzled expressions. Seeing them laughing and chatting without any sign of arguing, they were relieved.
With the blessing of two cheat codes, it truly leaves no corner untouched wherever it goes.
They found more than forty people in total, and by this time, they had searched the entire area of Su City near Hai City.
Shen Yanming knew that the twenty-odd missing people were probably gone. Just like Chou Dan.
Returning to the temporary encampment with mixed feelings, I found Liang Huaxin sitting blankly on the ground, not saying a word.
Shen Yanming asked, "What's wrong with him?"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head and communicated with him through their consciousness in the space: "He probably knows that Chou Dan is gone and is heartbroken."
Shen Yanming sighed and said nothing.
Liang Huaxin had been heartbroken before when he was on social media. He even said he would go back and take care of Chou Dan's dad in his old age.
It was he who, fearing the exposure of the space's secrets, fed them medicine and spiritual fruits, thus making them forget about the matter.
But the fact is the fact: the stinky egg is gone, and he can't conjure it up again.
Shen Yanming went over and patted Liang Huaxin on the shoulder, wanting to say a few words of comfort to him.
Before anyone could speak, Liang Huaxin said, "It's my fault. I didn't protect Chou Dan well and failed to evacuate in time. When we get back, I'll take care of Chou Dan's father in his old age. From now on, his father is my father!"
