Another: "I wonder if they went out on business or personal matters?"
"This is not within your job scope."
It seems you haven't quite figured out your own little corner of the world yet?
The two men didn't dare ask any more questions. "We have other things to do, so we won't bother you any longer."
………………
Following the GPS location, Bai Shuang and her companion flew along a familiar route.
Midway through the journey, we reached a relatively flat area and prepared to land and rest, but we still cautiously deployed the parachute system.
They descended to a point not far from the ground, only to find themselves in an uneven wasteland of reinforced concrete ruins.
Even if there were a complete building, the two of them wouldn't dare to live there.
"Lu Yu, stop descending, fly forward a little further."
It must be a city before the disaster, swept by a hurricane.
Bai Shuang only glanced at the ruins before her with her night vision goggles, and then she never wanted to see them again.
Five thousand years of Chinese civilization were destroyed in an instant.
During periods of flooding and extreme cold, too many people died here. When the ice and snow melted, the ruins blocked the water flow, leaving most of the bodies inside.
After being exposed to extreme heat, countless viruses and bacteria are generated.
We'd rather park the plane in a remote mountain village than here.
Currently, only the deep mountains are relatively clean.
Even after the plane came to a stop, Bai Shuang's furrowed brows remained unchanged.
Lu Yu knew what she was worried about. "Don't be afraid, your martial uncle will be fine."
He's so capable, and he even has a life pod.
"I hope so."
She is too far away to determine her master's fortune.
Before dawn, the two finally arrived at the Dragon City base.
We must stay here today, otherwise, once the sun comes out, it will be unbearable to stay outside.
There's space to stay, but I've only saved up enough for a month and a half in three years, so I have to be careful and avoid using it if possible.
The search for the person can only be done after sunset, and we can inquire about the situation here while we're at it.
They put away the plane and released the snow leopard far from the Dragon City base. This guy's search and rescue skills are far superior to those of humans.
The road was in bad condition, so we switched to a Flying Tiger off-road vehicle and drove to the base.
Although Bai Shuang was mentally prepared, she was still surprised to see that the houses at the base were missing eaves and walls.
The houses at the official base are different from the buildings before the disaster. Although they are not made of pure metal with insulation and shock-absorbing materials like those at the Kyoto base, they can withstand any disaster except for a major one.
When it was built, various disaster prevention measures were taken, including earthquake resistance, waterproofing, windproofing, and heat insulation.
This structure uses more metal and less cement, making it not only sturdy but also corrosion-resistant.
If even a house like this has so much damage and deformation, what about other places?
Uncle Zuo and Uncle Li were friends, so they went to him first.
Uncle Zuo was very surprised when he saw Bai Shuang, the two people, and the dog.
"How did you manage to travel all this way in this weather?"
"We flew here at night."
Bai Shuang didn't hide anything; otherwise, there would be no way to explain it.
"The base hotel isn't finished yet, hurry up and come home with me, otherwise it will be uninhabitable outside."
Bai Shuang and the other person nodded and followed Uncle Zuo back.
Although he concealed it well, Bai Shuang still noticed the sorrow in his eyes.
If I'm not mistaken, someone in his family must have died, but these are things you can't ask about.
Bai Shuang and Lu Yulu followed behind Uncle Zuo back. The road was clean, with signs that it had just been cleaned.
However, some of the houses along the road were missing half a room, some had walls that were misaligned, and there were many signs of repairs.
There are also occasional black marks, which are probably bloodstains that were not cleaned properly and turned black after being exposed to the sun.
Passing by the hotel I used to stay at, its former cleanliness, simplicity, and grandeur are gone, replaced by buildings leaning to one side...
When we arrived at Uncle Zuo's house, Aunt Zuo looked thin and haggard, with faint tear stains still visible at the corners of her eyes.
She was nothing like the elegant lady with delicate skin, wavy hair, and sophisticated attire we met last time.
Bai Shuang's heart skipped a beat. If she wasn't mistaken, the one who had passed away should be...
Upon seeing the two arrive, he forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace.
"You've arrived, please have a seat."
The nanny brewed some mint tea. Bai Shuang took a sip and savored the lingering fragrance. This was the tea she had brought for them last time.
The four sat facing each other, unsure of where to begin, until Bai Shuang spoke first.
"We came here to find our martial uncle, and we apologize for disturbing you here."
Uncle Zuo: "Don't talk about disturbing us. We're all on the same side. These days, it's not easy to meet up."
"After that strong wind, I lost contact with your martial uncle..."
Before the extreme heat arrived, they had stored a large number of snow bricks at their own home and base, and they all had ice storage facilities.
In recent months, even the planting area of the base has seen an increase in the planting of some Chinese herbal medicines that can clear heat and detoxify.
There is a basement at home, which can be used to escape the heat. The base has built a large basement in advance, just in case.
On the first day of the temperature rise, although the increase was significant, everyone felt much more comfortable.
Survivors generally believe that the accumulated ice and snow over the past two years will eventually withstand a period of high temperatures.
But no one expected that the ice and snow would melt so quickly the next day, instantly turning into a tsunami-like flood, carrying with it a large amount of ice.
In an instant, the floodwaters poured into the pre-disaster city and flowed into lakes and rivers.
Despite the base's high elevation, it could not withstand the enormous volume of the floodwaters.
Water flowed into the gate, and the Al-Qaeda survivors tried to block it, but just as they managed to stop the water at the gate, parts of the wall were washed away.
As the floodwaters rushed in, the survivors swarmed to higher ground in the base.
At this time, those who were still at home, especially those in low-lying areas, ran out and ran to higher ground together, while those in slightly higher ground quickly climbed to even higher places.
But before I could even stand firmly, the wind picked up.
At first, the wind was light and I didn't think much of it, but before I could even finish a sentence, the wind picked up.
The crowd was crying and screaming; it seemed that God was not giving people a way to live!
Fortunately, the basement entrance is relatively high, so it hasn't flooded yet.
The base leadership used a loudspeaker to remind the people to go into the basement.
The survivors ran frantically towards the basement, but those behind them had already been swept away by the raging wind...
At the time, he and Kai-hsu were outside helping to block the wall, together with everyone else.
Their family was well-off and lived on higher ground. At the time, Kelly and her mother were at home when they heard that a flood was coming, so the mother and daughter climbed upstairs.
Unexpectedly, a strong wind carrying large chunks of ice crashed onto the roof, causing half of the house to collapse. The mother and daughter were right below it.
Because Mrs. Zuo was standing close to the wall, she had some support and survived, but Kelly...
The survivors hid in the basement for several days, waiting for the wind to completely subside before venturing out.
He and his son were worried about their home, so they returned that night when the wind had died down.
When they got home, his wife had already dug out their daughter's bloodied body and fainted from crying beside it...
