"Really?" Everyone cheered after hearing that. Shen Yanming also smiled, feeling much more at ease.
"Let's wait a bit longer. Maybe someone will activate the smart bracelet soon."
"Yes, who knows, maybe my family members are still alive."
"As long as they are alive, I will find them no matter how far away they are!"
"Yes, me too!"
When Li Zhaozhao brought Li Wanwan over, that's what he heard. Confused, he asked, "What's going on?"
Everyone chimed in with their stories, and Li Zhaozhao was happy for the man after hearing them: "That's wonderful. I hope my parents can do the same."
Then, remembering something, she asked Shen Yanming, "Old Shen, where's Qiao An? Honestly, how could I forget about Qiao An!"
Zhang Heping was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is Qiao An online? And Lao Ji too?"
Shen Yanming gave a bitter smile: "Not yet, but I believe they are all still alive."
Zhang Heping: "...Yes, they must still be alive. They're both so powerful, how could they be defeated by a mere wave? They must be somewhere waiting for our rescue. And Lao Ji is so strong, he can definitely protect Qiao An."
He never even considered whether Ji Kangyong could find Bi Qiaoan. Because to him, his own brother was omnipotent.
Shen Yanming remained silent, but what he was thinking was, "If Lao Ji hadn't gotten involved, the couple would have had even less time to meet."
However, since they meant well, he couldn't complain.
"Alright, let's leave here first. Ya Jing's condition can't be delayed." What Shen Yanming didn't say was that his leg hurt a lot, and he felt like something was tearing at his flesh.
“Okay, let’s swim in the direction Lao Shen said!” Zhang Heping nodded, and the others responded in unison.
The group swam away into the distance, unaware of what awaited them...
Bi Qiaoan woke up near dusk. She lay on the ground, feeling the waves crashing against her body, her limbs aching as if they were broken, and her head buzzing. For a moment, she couldn't process what had happened.
"Where...where am I?" Bi Qiaoan struggled to open her eyes and saw a scene of ruins. There were water stains on the walls, and "corpses" lying haphazardly.
She struggled to turn herself over, looking up at the sky. The fiery red sun hung in the west, about to touch the horizon.
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, feeling she couldn't stay here any longer. It was getting dark, and she needed to find somewhere to stay.
But now, I can't move at all. The doll in my hand is gone, and what about my backpack?
Oh right, it's still there, making her uncomfortable.
Bi Qiaoan tried hard to pull her backpack out, but couldn't get it out for a long time before realizing that she was still wearing a life jacket.
She unfastened her life jacket, reached into her backpack, and took out a plastic bottle filled with spiritual spring water.
Bi Qiaoan opened the bottle and took two sips before feeling a little better.
After resting for a while and feeling more energetic, I slowly got up. I massaged my arms and legs to make sure my bones were okay, then stood up and walked forward.
Bi Qiaoan walked with great difficulty, because the place looked even more devastated than after the earthquake years ago. She walked carefully, and finally found a relatively flat place, found a corner to sit down, and breathed heavily.
Bi Qiaoan was both hungry and tired, and wanted to take out some food from her backpack to fill her stomach. But when she brought the backpack to her chest, she realized that everything inside was wet.
The phone is waterproof, so it should still work, but there's no signal. The toilet paper is soaked into a mushy mess; it's an eyesore.
The small first-aid kit was okay, but it got wet, ruining the gauze and cotton swabs inside. The dried meat and dried fruit were also soaked and couldn't be eaten.
Bi Qiaoan felt it was such a waste, her heart ached terribly. But she still had to throw it away, otherwise, she was afraid she would get sick from eating it.
The small, packaged bread rolls in her bag were unaffected; she tore one open and wolfed it down.
Once I had a baby in my belly, I had the time to observe my surroundings. It was like a plaza, or perhaps a park, empty and looking quite dilapidated. There were no signs, so I couldn't confirm my location.
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, feeling like she had forgotten something. Ever since she woke up, she felt like her reactions were extremely slow.
But she couldn't remember.
It was getting dark, and it was almost impossible to see the road. Bi Qiaoan got up and started walking, but she hadn't gone far when she almost tripped over something under her feet.
"What is this?" She looked down and realized it was a toy brown bear.
Teddy bear...doll...child!
Bi Qiaoan then realized what she had forgotten. An'an, how could she have forgotten her own son?
Bi Qiaoan wanted to enter the space, but there wasn't a single shelter here, so she didn't dare to go in. She continued walking forward, trying to find a place with cover, but the sky grew darker and darker, and the path under her feet had completely disappeared.
There is no moon tonight, only a sky full of stars. There are no lights; the whole world is plunged into darkness. It's pitch black, so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face.
Bi Qiaoan took out a thin bamboo pole from her spatial storage and bent down to tap the ground, feeling around for a trace. She dared not take out a flashlight for light, for fear that someone nearby would discover her whereabouts.
Bi Qiaoan's only worry right now is that someone might discover her secret space. She hasn't even considered how tempting a single, beautiful woman could be to some morally bankrupt individuals in such a desolate and crumbling world. She hasn't taken these dangers into account at all.
Having finally found a secluded corner, Bi Qiaoan hid inside and waited for more than ten minutes. Seeing that the surroundings remained quiet, she then slipped into the space.
Hearing the noise, An'an quickly climbed off the bed. Seeing his mother's disheveled state, he burst into tears.
"Mommy, Mom~"
Ignoring the dirt on her clothes, Bi Qiaoan quickly hugged her baby and comforted her, "What's wrong, An'an? Why are you crying so sadly?"
An'an sobbed and cried for a while before saying, "I'm scared because I can't see my mom."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and stroked his head. "It's okay, baby. It's dangerous outside. Mommy barely managed to escape. I just woke up and came to see you. By the way, baby, are you hungry? It's Mommy's fault for not leaving you any food."
An'an shook her head: "Mom isn't hungry, I've already eaten."
Bi Qiaoan was a little surprised, but she assumed he had just picked some fruit from the garden, so she asked, "What did you eat?"
An'an thought for a moment and counted on her little fingers: "Milk, bread, cake, dried meat, and steamed buns."
"So much!" Bi Qiaoan blinked. "Where did you eat?"
“There!” An’an didn’t know what to say, so she grabbed Bi Qiao’an and headed towards the storage area.
Bi Qiaoan understood and quickly patted An'an's hand to signal him to stop. "Mommy knows, baby. How did you come up with the idea of eating there?"
“I went there with my sister before, and there was lots of food there.”
