After the plane landed, what appeared before us were the dilapidated houses of the coal mine, swept away by flash floods and hurricanes, without any trace of repair or cleaning.
The soil had dried and cracked, and although the wire mesh around the coal yard had been tilted by the flood, it still managed to hold back some coal.
It's clear that my uncle put a lot of effort into the preparations and installation.
In the ruins of the coal mine, one could vaguely see people going in and out.
The two men led the snow leopard toward the group of people.
Bai Shuang's intuition told her that Li Shishu was not here. If he were here, at least the place wouldn't be so chaotic.
The group seemed to have heard the sound of an airplane. They came out and looked at Bai Shuang and the other person. When they saw the snow leopard, their eyes showed surprise and excitement.
There were about eight or nine people. Although their clothes were dirty and messy, they looked very healthy.
Especially the man and woman standing in front, who were quite fleshy, looked about the same as before the disaster.
Bai Shuang: "Who are you people? Why are you living here?"
"Isn't this my uncle's niece, who is also a student of his? I was wondering why you've come here?"
The man standing in front spoke, while the woman beside him curled her lips and looked at Bai Shuang and the other woman with a mocking expression.
Only then did Bai Shuang realize that the two were the same two people she had seen the first time she came here—her uncle's nephew and niece.
"Where are my martial uncle and aunt?"
Bai Shuang didn't have time to argue with them; she was eager to know how Uncle Li and the others were doing.
"Dead, how about that? You didn't get the better of me this time, aren't you disappointed?"
Li's niece said proudly.
"What do you mean 'dead'? Are you sure?"
Bai Shuang's face suddenly lost all color, and she asked tremblingly, as if she were about to collapse.
Lu Yu quickly reached out to support her; he had never seen such white frost before.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, Uncle is fine."
Bai Shuang then came to her senses, realizing that she had been misled by their words, and that her martial uncles would be alright.
Li's nephew didn't take it seriously, saying, "This guy is really joking. They were all swept away by the flood, how could they not die?"
Of those swept away, who survived?
Lu Yu: "So, you didn't witness their deaths?"
Li's niece: "That's funny! It was washed away by the water, who would ever see the body?"
Lu Yu: "Didn't you guys go look for it either?"
Li's nephew: "Go ahead and look for it if you want. We won't do something that's thankless and exhausting."
"Hahaha..."
The people behind them joined in the commotion.
Bai Shuang glanced behind them. There was the snow brick warehouse that Uncle Li had sealed before the extreme heat, which contained a large amount of vacuum-packed, moisture-proof grains and dehydrated vegetables.
No wonder they're in such great health; they have plenty to eat and drink here.
Bai Shuang: "Come with us to find our martial uncle."
"As long as you go to find Uncle Li, whether you find him or not, I will leave all of this to you."
Li Zhinu: "Haha, what a joke, you're leaving all of this to us?"
These are ours to begin with, aren't they?
If you want to be filial sons, you can be them yourselves. We're not going to be those damned "filial sons."
These are Uncle Li's nephews and nieces. Uncle Li has been taking care of them since the disaster; otherwise, they wouldn't be alive today.
Bai Shuang: "Are you sure you don't want to look for them?"
The person next to him laughed and said, "If you want to be a filial son, hurry up and go find one. But this dog is nice, could we help you keep it safe?"
"Oh my, this girl is so pretty, why don't we..."
Before they could finish speaking, Lu Yu punched them away.
At the same time, the snow leopard pounced on the person who had just said he would leave the dog behind and bit off his neck.
Bai Shuang took out a gun and pointed it at her nephew and niece.
"Get lost. I'll spare your lives for the sake of my martial uncle."
She had repeatedly confirmed this because they were not just anyone, but her martial uncle's nephew.
If they still harbored even a shred of uncle-nephew affection for Uncle Li, Bai Shuang would leave those supplies to them.
Unfortunately, they didn't.
At this moment, they were also stunned and were startled when they saw the "Divine Eagle" in Bai Shuang's hand.
Coming to his senses, he backed away while saying, "You...you mustn't do this. We're my uncle's nephews. You...you can't treat me like this."
Bang! Bai Shuang fired a shot into the air.
"If you don't get out of here, you'll leave your dog's life behind."
The group scrambled away.
Ultimately, since he was her uncle's nephew, she spared their lives, but whether they lived or died afterward was no longer Bai Shuang's concern.
Lu Yu: "Let's go, let's go look for people over there too."
"Wait, we'll take these supplies and feed them to the dogs, we won't leave any for them."
Snow leopard, woof woof... I won't eat it.
Bai Shuang collected the supplies in the basement and the coal in the coal yard that had not yet been washed away by the flood, and then she and Lu Yu flew to the area that Bai Shuang had surveyed to look for people.
It was already 3 a.m., and even with hundreds of people searching together, they hadn't found a single person, let alone Uncle Li and his group.
Bai Shuang once again resorted to metaphysics, keeping the area measured unchanged, but still couldn't find anyone by following the compass needle.
As you walk further ahead, the pointer starts to turn back...
As dawn broke and the temperature began to rise, Bai Shuang and her men had no choice but to retreat to their camp.
Bai Shuang checked the location of the Bai family of three again during the day. The direction hadn't changed, but what worried Bai Shuang was that Bai Niu Niu's vital signs had weakened even more.
But why can't we find anyone in that direction?
Lu Yu: "Could it be that they've gone into hiding?"
"Possibly."
In the end times, it's not surprising that people avoid each other, especially when they are sick or injured.
Because if you're not careful, you might end up as someone else's food.
With so many of them conducting such a large-scale search, they might mistake them for bad guys.
If that's the case, it's really difficult to handle.
Bai Shuang suddenly remembered the soup recipe song that Uncle Li taught her when she was a child.
Angelica sinensis has remarkable effects in replenishing blood; a small amount of Angelica sinensis and a large amount of Astragalus
Furthermore, Astragalus membranaceus and Atractylodes macrocephala are also known as antiperspirant jade screen.
...
Bai Shuang retrieved the recordings from her spatial storage, made many copies, then took out a megaphone, took a few from each group, and played them back while searching along the ground.
But on the second night, they still couldn't find anyone.
Could it be...?
Bai Shuang dared not think about it and could only ask everyone to be more careful.
It's been almost twenty days since the extreme heat began. Even if they had taken refuge in the life pods back then, the food and water prepared inside would have run out by now...
