Chapter 202 Rescue Cui Bin
There were more than thirty mutated mint plants in this patch, covering an area of more than 200 square meters. Song Bo led them to the deepest part, cut down a mutated mint plant, and cleared a large open space for them to sit down and rest.
Then he waited for Cui Bin to bring the other survivors over. On the way here, he had already sent Cui Bin the location of the mint field and told him Zuo Shan's speculation that the mint scent could mask one's presence.
That's all he can do. Whether Cui Bin receives the message or brings people over is no longer his concern.
They had split up before, which was basically leaving it to fate. Cui Bin was luckier than him; the pangolin was chasing after him, so he should be able to escape with his life.
During their escape, they would not make any calls to each other, because in a critical moment, it could be fatal.
Now that he's safe, he naturally wants to send him a message. As for whether the other person is safe, he doesn't dare to think about it; he can only pray that he's alive.
Cui Bin was indeed still alive, but he couldn't escape being tracked by the pangolins, as five pangolins emerged from under the tent one after another.
All the mercenary families who were still alive ran away. Wastelanders all know this: when in danger, scatter and flee, and the chances of survival will be greater.
So everyone quickly scattered like birds and beasts, disappearing without a trace.
However, Cui Bin was still targeted by the pangolins. It wasn't because he was unlucky, but because this batch of pangolins had just escaped from the mercenary group.
The mercenaries wore uniform clothing, carried the same firearms and melee weapons, and shared a similar aura from their years of hunting mutated beasts.
Pangolins are very vengeful. When they are surrounded and attacked by mercenaries with similar scents, their entire clan or even their closest relatives are killed. Now that they have smelled Cui Bin's scent and are alone, they will naturally prioritize hunting him down.
So he had no chance to check the information on his wristwatch; he could only hope that the commander and the others would get the news of the danger here soon and come to rescue them.
As Cui Bin ran, his foot slipped, and he rolled down the hillside. The pangolin that had almost caught up with him suddenly gained a small distance from him.
When running downhill, the massive body has to deliberately slow down, otherwise it will be impossible to maintain its balance.
Cui Bin scrambled to his feet and continued running, but when he realized his footing had slipped, he couldn't stop and fell straight into a dark hole.
The moment he fell, he couldn't help but wail: "This is terrible! I'm definitely crippled. I'm going to be food for the pangolins."
The cave was very deep. In a moment of inspiration, Cui Bin pulled out his large machete and tried to stab the tip of the blade into the cave wall, but he failed to penetrate it.
The cave walls were hard and smooth, and the knife tip sparked as it cut through the rock, but it did nothing to stop his descent.
Just when he thought he was going to be crippled or even killed, he saw the shimmering water below in the dim light of his watch. He quickly adjusted his posture, stretched out his arms, and plunged into the pool in a diving motion.
He thought that even if the water wasn't deep enough, having his arms first would at least protect his head, neck, and leg bones from fractures.
If a person is trapped in this predicament and breaks a leg or fractures their neck, they will most likely not survive.
Cui Bin thought the pangolin that was chasing him would climb down the rock wall, but it only circled around the cave entrance once before resolutely leaving.
After climbing out of the pool, Cui Bin took a breath and finally had time to check the information on his wristwatch.
He was genuinely happy to learn that Song Bo had brought Zuo Shan and the others to a safe place.
The two of them ran separately before, and the pangolin chased after Song Bo. At that time, he thought that his partner was doomed to die, but unexpectedly, they both survived.
Without even checking his surroundings, he sent Song Bo his location and asked him to bring people to rescue him after the main force arrived and wiped out the remaining pangolins.
Given the current situation, the surrounding rock walls are extremely smooth, making it very difficult for him to climb up the two or three hundred meters of cliff on his own.

On the other side, the main force arrived quickly and, after about an hour of searching, quickly wiped out those who had escaped from underground on the border of District 47.
Song Bo received a message from Kang Zhenghao saying that the cleanup operation was over and it was safe, and that he should bring his men back to the team. At this time, Song Bo had just received Cui Bin's location and information.
Calculating the mercenary group's current location, which was quite far from Cui Bin's, he decided to go and rescue Cui Bin himself. He informed Kang Zhenghao and prepared to set off.
Hearing that he was going to rescue Cui Bin, Zuo Shan felt that it might be inconvenient for him to go alone, so he decided to go with him to lend a hand.
Most importantly, she didn't want to take the three minors back to the tent right now; the human tragedy there would probably leave the children with childhood trauma.
Instead, we should go and help our companions first.
When Song Bo heard that she was willing to go with him to rescue Cui Bin, he was filled with gratitude. He himself had been saved by Miss Zuo.
“Miss Zuo, you are truly kind-hearted. I thank you on behalf of Cui Bin,” Song Bo said.
Left Fan: What should I do if I've been friend-zoned for no reason?
Actually, she didn't really want to be a good person. She saved Song Bo before because she wanted to save herself.
With the location sent by Cui Bin, Song Bo led Zuo Shan and the others to the cave entrance quickly. Looking at the depth of the cave, they couldn't help but worry.
But since we're here, we have to find a way, no matter how difficult it is.
Zuo Shan thought about it carefully and then called on everyone to cut the sturdy vines around the area, and each person would weave a rope ladder of more than 20 meters, which would then be carried up by one person.
Once you're down to below 20 meters, find protruding parts around the cave wall to secure the second section of the rope ladder before continuing downwards.
This ensures that the rope ladder will not break in the middle due to its length or excessive weight.
Song Bo thought this was a good idea, and the group quickly and skillfully started weaving rope ladders. Almost everyone in the wasteland, adults and children alike, knew how to make this kind of handicraft.
After the rope ladder was finally finished, Song Bo was about to go down, but Zuo Shan stopped him: "Let me go down. I'm lighter and won't damage the rope ladder."
Song Bo glanced at his sturdy frame and finally agreed to Zuo Shan's suggestion, since the rope ladder that the few people had hastily made was hardly sturdy.
Zuo Shan decided to go down herself because she wanted to see if there were any special minerals at the bottom of the cave, since her son, Achen, had been pointing at the cave entrance with his chubby little finger and yelling "Ahhhhh!" for quite a while.
