She had no idea whether these people were carrying firearms. If they had guns, she could probably lose her life in the mountains.
As darkness fell, the group stopped, lit a campfire, and ate and rested. It was clear they were experienced in wilderness survival.
Under the cover of darkness, Qian Xiao tried to get as close as possible to the group until she could go no further before entering her spatial dimension. From there, she observed the group. She had no choice but to enter her spatial dimension; this was deep in the mountains, and she couldn't even light a fire while secretly following them. Did they expect her to just wait to be eaten?
Fortunately, there was still some edible food in the space, all of which were snacks that Shuangdan had brought back. These things couldn't be brought out openly, so she could only eat them secretly and couldn't give them to her younger brothers. Today, they came in handy.
While eating the dry snacks, she regretted not having put some drinking water in her space. This guy choked her. Luckily, there were still some pears, otherwise, not having water would have been a big problem. The problem was, she didn't know how far these people had to go.
...
"Chengcheng, why do you look so listless today? Are you feeling unwell? Should we take you to the hospital now?" Sun's mother asked her youngest son with some concern.
Since Sun Kaicheng woke up, his family has been taking care of him like a baby, afraid that he might fall asleep for several more years. He has been doing better in the last couple of days. In the first few days, his room was visited by countless people every night.
"Ah! I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy."
"If you're sleepy, go to bed early. What's there to be embarrassed about in your own home?" She always felt that her youngest son seemed more distant from his family after waking up. Could it be because he slept for too long?
"Okay, I'm going back to sleep now. Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Brother, and Sister, I'm going to sleep now."
"Go quickly, go quickly, do you want your older brother to take you home?"
Sun Kaicheng quickly shook his head. He was the same age as his older brother in that world, so he was embarrassed to always let his older brother carry him: "No need, my legs have become much stronger these past two days."
If it weren't for the fear that his family would think he was recovering too quickly, he would have taken the medicine long ago. He would have waited a little longer; after lying in bed for five years, his body needed to recover slowly.
"Okay, take your time and don't rush."
Sun Kaicheng nodded haphazardly and headed towards his room. He was in a hurry to go back to his space to check on the Twin Eggs' owner. That little girl was quite bold; instead of hiding when she saw someone suspicious, she dared to follow them alone.
He wanted to help, but given his current situation, he could only cause trouble. The key issue was that the little girl had no idea he existed, and his sudden appearance could easily scare her.
I was thinking of giving her some weapons, but putting aside whether the little girl would know how to use them, if someone found out, the origin of those things would be hard to explain. In that case, it wouldn't be helping her, but harming her whole family.
In the vast space, Qian Xiao sat on the beanbag chair and dozed off, while Shuang Dan helped her keep an eye on the situation outside. Her body was still too young to stay up all night, and if she didn't sleep at all tonight, how would she face the dangerous environment tomorrow?
Sun Kaicheng didn't dare to enter the space with his whole body. Instead, he sent his spiritual body into the space and went to the living room to check the surveillance footage of Qian Xiao. Seeing the current situation, he felt relieved for the time being. As long as he was in the space, it was safe.
He really wanted to ask his family for help in arranging for someone to meet him, but how could he explain how someone who had been in a coma for five years knew a little girl from a rural area in Northeast China? And how did he know that something had happened there? There were some things he didn't plan to tell his grandfather.
There was nothing we could do but anxiously watch.
Perhaps due to his background, despite having spent more than ten years in the post-apocalyptic world, he deeply loves his country and has great respect for patriots. Even a seemingly insignificant little girl in his eyes now holds a faint sense of admiration for him.
If it were him, he probably wouldn't have followed the little girl so resolutely. He would have used a more roundabout and safer method. He seems to value himself more.
When Qian Xiao was woken up by Shuangdan, he subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth. He had just dreamt that he was gnawing on a pig's trotter. The trotter looked so delicious, all red and trembling. It was a pity that he hadn't even gotten a bite before Shuangdan woke him up.
"What time is it? Are these people about to set off? Did anything happen last night?" She actually hoped that these people would run into a pack of wolves and be eaten, which would save them a lot of trouble.
"It's past five o'clock. These people are about to leave. Last night was safe. Would you like to eat something else?"
Qian Xiao rubbed his stomach. Those snacks weren't very filling, but he couldn't go without eating them. He had no energy if he didn't eat. He nodded, grabbed a sponge cake, and stuffed it into his mouth. Although it was a bit dry, it was better than going hungry.
Feeling that these people had gone far enough, Qian Xiao carefully left the space and followed the five people at a distance. They had been walking for most of the day and had already crossed two mountains. Where were they going?
...
At the foot of Qianjiatun Mountain, a dozen or so people in uniforms were ready to go. Leading the way was Qian Sanbao, the third son of the Qian family. His eldest niece hadn't returned all night, and apart from the six younger children, no one in the family had closed their eyes, fearing that something might have happened to her.
If their father hadn't stopped them, the two brothers would have sent people up the mountain to look for Erdan last night.
"Alright, let's go up the mountain. Remember to follow instructions and do not act on your own."
"yes"
"Set off."
This time, four people from the police station came with us, and the remaining seven people were from the armed forces department who came to carry out the joint operation. There are really not many people available in a commune's police station. We can't just send everyone out and ignore other things in the police station. What if something else happens at the last minute?
Their police station could only send out a maximum of four people, and thinking that this number wouldn't be enough, they went directly to the armed forces department to borrow people. Most of them were former soldiers, and were actually more suitable for carrying out dangerous missions than the police officers there.
The team leader was a captain from the armed forces department. The police station chief wanted to come, but he was worried that his physical strength might cause trouble. It was said that the suspects were all tall foreigners. If they failed to catch others and then lost his own people, it would be too embarrassing.
When they arrived at the place where Zhu Zi received the letter yesterday, Zhu Zi pointed in the direction Qian Xiao ran off in: "Er Dan ran away from there. San Bao, shall I go with you?" This is to catch bad guys! Just thinking about it makes me a little excited.
