After entering the mountain city area, they encountered no survivors. Everywhere were collapsed mountains, trees, and houses. No place was intact; the ground was severely damaged, with gullies everywhere. If they hadn't had space, stocked with hiking poles and pickaxes, it would have been very difficult to get through the gullies or collapsed mountains.
At noon, Lu Xingtang found that the temperature was getting higher and higher. Thinking that the temperature in the mountain city was relatively high in May, he took out the thermometer and measured it. It had reached 36°, which was very hot. After Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo made sure that there was no one around, they entered the space and changed into simple and ragged clothes, which had been prepared long ago.
After walking for a while, they saw some survivors, but they were all dead. Their bodies were swollen from the flood and their original appearance could not be seen. There were wounds all over their bodies, some so deep that the bones were visible. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot before their death.
Lu Xingtang put their bodies into the space and would find a time to bury them later.
At the same time, they also collected a lot of materials from the ruins. No matter what kind of materials they were, as long as they thought they could be used, they put them into the space and temporarily piled them up in the grassland.
Soon they heard the rumbling sound of a plane. Lu Xingtang took out the walkie-talkie to contact the people on the plane. The plane quickly located Lu Xingtang and the others, stopped at a suitable place, and waited for Lu Xingtang and the others to come over.
Half an hour later, they reunited. "Base Commander, after we returned to Lancheng Base, we sent those three soldiers to the hospital. The base hospital asked us to tell the base commander that they would take good care of those three soldiers!"
"Director Su has already arranged for supplies and support personnel to leave the base and head towards the Mountain City base! Director Su said he will also send people out to search for survivors who have escaped from the mountain city and bring them to the base. Base Commander, don't worry!"
"Before we left, Director Su packed us a lot of supplies, as well as special medicines made by the base hospital and the survivors. If we encounter survivors in the mountain city, we can leave food and special medicines with them instead of giving away all our supplies. Director Su asked us to tell the base commander and deputy base commander that everything is fine at the base now!"
Lu Xingtang nodded, and then they boarded the plane, which flew at a low altitude.
From the plane, they used binoculars to observe the situation in the mountain city. It was in dire straits. All the buildings had collapsed, and many peaks had broken off, crushing the base and other buildings below. The water from the Yinjiang River had gradually receded, but the mountain city was still flooded, though not by much.
The plane flew low for a long time, but they didn't see a single survivor, nor did they find any trace of the military. Ji Yanmo's special ability was also used to quickly search the ground. There were dead bodies everywhere, water everywhere, and a purgatory-like ruins scene brought about by natural disasters everywhere.
The water in the Yin River was especially murky, flooded from the mountains and filled with debris like wood, branches, tattered clothes, and messy garbage, including corpses!
The moment they saw the corpses, the Lu Xingtuan felt very heavy-hearted. They wanted to clean up the corpses on Yinjiang River, but they had not found other survivors in the base, including officials and soldiers. They rescued people first and dealt with the corpses last.
They flew around the mountain city for a long time and finally found survivors on one of the hills. Lu Xingtang and his team looked for a suitable place to land, but they couldn't find any, so they chose to parachute. At the same time, they asked them to hold the walkie-talkies. After they confirmed the situation below, they asked them to look for a berth nearby to park the plane. If they found one, they would fly over and tell them the location.
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo parachuted onto a tree in the mountains. They struggled on the tree for a long time before they folded up their parachutes, got down from the tree, and stepped onto the slippery mountain path. They supported each other, walked on the mossy and stone path, and pulled through the weeds and trees, heading towards the direction of the survivors.
Before they could find any survivors, they were found by the survivors. The people who found them were not ordinary survivors, but experienced soldiers. "Put your hands up, squat down, and don't move!"
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo immediately raised their hands and squatted down. "We are the base commander and deputy base commander of Lancheng Base. My name is Lu Xingtang, and this is Ji Yanmo! We know the situation at Shancheng Base is very serious, and we haven't seen you sending survivors there in a long time. We wanted to come to Shancheng specifically to find you! We want to bring you back to Lancheng Base so that you can survive the apocalyptic disaster with us!"
The soldiers were stunned when they heard this, but they didn't know Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo. They just heard that the people in Lancheng Base were very kind and willing to accept the survivors and everyone in their Shancheng Base, and gave their all for their Shancheng Base, which moved the management and officials of Shancheng Base.
"We don't care whether you are the base commander of Lancheng Base or not. Now follow us!" Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo didn't say anything and followed them honestly. However, the road on the mountain was extremely difficult to walk on. It was wet, slippery, rugged and steep. They walked, climbed, fell and screamed in pain. It took nearly an hour for everyone to reach the top of the mountain with difficulty.
When they reached the top of the mountain, Lu Xingtang and his men saw many soldiers and survivors. However, everyone looked pale, but their eyes were extremely powerful, and they were not afraid of the threat of natural disasters and death at all.
"Base Commander Lu Xingtang? Deputy Base Commander Ji Yanmo?" Someone in the military had seen Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo and recognized them at a glance. When the soldier who brought Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo up the mountain heard this, he immediately apologized to Lu Xingtang: "Sorry, we were rude to Base Commander Lu and Deputy Base Commander Ji!" and then saluted.
Lu Xingtang was not angry with them at all. On the contrary, they protected them all the time during the climb up the mountain. One of them even served as a cushion for her. Lu Xingtang was so grateful that how could she be angry: "Thank you for protecting us!" You protected them without being sure of our identities.
Then Lu Xingtang met with the management and officials of the Shancheng Base. Everyone stood together. Lu Xingtang looked at everyone and said, "Please rest assured and wait. We at the Lancheng Base have made all the preparations. Our people are looking for a parking space nearby. Once they find one, they will rendezvous with us. I will contact them using the intercom. The plane can seat several people, and there are some supplies on board. It may not be enough for everyone, but everyone can have a bite.
Additionally, any survivors in more serious condition or your senior management personnel can be sent to Lancheng Base. Then, a plane from Lancheng Base will arrive and transfer you all to Lancheng Base! From now on, we're all part of the same base. For the sake of survival, we hope everyone will be harmonious and avoid causing trouble!
