After calming down, he decided to continue on his journey.
Huo Yishen was extremely careful and avoided the places where there were rockfalls or landslides last time.
He encountered several crises, but he was able to avoid them in time without any danger.
It took him 26 hours and he experienced the changes of four seasons in one day to successfully climb to the top of the mountain.
The sea of clouds flowed at his feet, and pine trees grew on the rocks.
The green mountains embraced the clouds, and the clouds and mists lingered around the peaks. This was not the end of the world due to natural disasters, but clearly a beautiful wonderland in the world.
Not to mention that Doudou had grown up so big, but this was the first time he had seen such a beautiful scenery in his life. Even the dog was stunned. It was the first time for him to see it!
Without paying attention to the beautiful scenery, Huo Yishen looked around.
Soon, his eyes were locked on a touch of green on the cliff.
It emerged from the bottom of a withered vine, only a dozen centimeters long, and looked particularly fragile.
He patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder, trying to hide his excitement and said, "Aning, I found it."
Following the direction he pointed, Jiang Ning looked around for a long time, but there were too many types of herbs and she really couldn't recognize them.
Never mind, just pick them back.
The cliff is too dangerous, and picking herbs is a technical job.
Huo Yishen took out the climbing equipment, "You wait here."
Jiang Ning held him, "The cliff is not safe, and the rock may not be able to bear your weight. Let me do it."
"You don't know how to climb, it's more dangerous." Huo Yishen flatly refused, "It's okay, I'll be careful, and I picked a lot last time."
He put on heavy protective equipment and walked towards the cliff.
Jiang Ning was extremely nervous. With his left hand, he held the two ropes tied to it, and with his right hand, he rested on the climbing rope to prevent any mishaps.
Huo Yi was like a gecko, moving forward slowly and steadily, getting closer and closer to the medicinal plant...
The sound of falling gravel made Jiang Ning's heart stuck in his throat, and he forgot to breathe unconsciously.
Doudou covered his mouth tightly, fearing that his screams would scare his brother.
His slender hands reached the gap between the medicinal plants, and he used an engineering shovel to dig the surrounding soil, and then pulled it out when it was almost done.
It was not broken, and it still had roots.
When he finally climbed back, Jiang Ning went forward and hugged him tightly, unable to speak for a long time.
Not only is the weather changeable on the top of the mountain, but danger is everywhere.
There aren't many roots, so it may not be able to survive. The two continued to search.
This thing loves to grow on cliffs, and the new plants are indeed hidden in the dead vines. If it weren't for Huo Yishen's amazing memory, he wouldn't have been able to find them by pressing the roots.
Fortunately, it wasn't as dangerous as before, and they finally picked them after some effort.
The roots were well preserved this time, and Jiang Ning said happily: "It's no problem to survive, let's go down the mountain."
First, there are few roots that just emerged from the soil, and second, it is too dangerous to dig them up. Just bring them back and plant them well. There is no need to let Huo Yishen take risks again.
There is a probability of taking risks, and not every time you can retreat safely.
Huo Yishen didn't insist.
Three people and a dog went down the mountain.
It's hard to go up the mountain, and it's not easy to go down the mountain. My knees are shaking.
However, the time was greatly shortened, and it took 10 hours to return by the original route.
After successfully evacuating the valley and returning to the Hummer, we first wiped our faces with wet tissues, ate a hot meal, and then fell asleep, exhausted.
After waking up and sleeping, 24 hours had passed when the body was completely recovered.
Beer, Sprite.
Boiled beef, braised fish, Fengcheng drunken goose.
Gouzi ate so much that his stomach almost became a ball, and his mouth was full of greasy food.
The life-saving medicine was ready, and he had various prescriptions provided by Ma Guangnian. Even if Jiang Ning couldn't figure out a specific medicine, it would always be no problem to nourish the lungs and protect the liver.
The stone in his heart fell to the ground a little.
After getting out of the car and moving around, when the stomach was no longer full, Huo Yishen said, "Go back to Fengcheng?"
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, "This place is not far from the military base. Why don't we go there and see how Lu Yu and the others are doing?"
Living is a human instinct, and emotions are spiritual needs.
Since we are here, we can make a detour to see them and feel at ease.
Huo Yishen had no objection.
So, the three of them and the dog set off again.
The road to the military base was much wider, and there were several broken cars going the other way on the road.
If I guessed correctly, they should be the survivors in the base who came out to pick up trash in exchange for points.
The powerful and domineering Hummer attracted many curious and envious eyes, but no one dared to mess around within the military's sphere of influence.
The road was easy to walk on and the 30km journey was quick.
From a distance, I saw the military base, built around Wanshan Lake, with densely packed houses that stretched as far as the eye could see.
A base that can accommodate 300,000 people, one can imagine its scale and layout. Even without seeing the full view, I was still filled with infinite shock.
Driving along the highway, I encountered a checkpoint 5km away from the military base.
The sentry soldiers were holding weapons. Seeing that the vehicle did not have an access card, they signaled to pull over. "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ning lowered the window. "We are looking for someone."
"Who?"
"Cousin and his wife, we separated when it was extremely hot. They came to the base with supplies and left some things at our house. They said they would come back to get them. It has been more than a year now, and there is still no news."
"Get off the car and walk to the guardhouse on the right. There are staff there to help check."
Jiang Ning did not expect the military base to be so humane. She thanked them quickly.
Gou Zi was not convenient to get off the car, so she simply let Huo Yishen and Doudou wait in the car.
With the documents, she walked to the right road. About 500 meters, a bungalow really appeared, and there were several ragged people queuing in front.
After waiting for a few minutes, it was Jiang Ning's turn.
She handed over her ID card and said, "Please help me check Lu Yu. I came from the Windy City more than a year ago."
After verifying her identity, the staff checked on the computer, "What's your name?"
"Lu Yu, Lu of land, Yu of rain."
"There is a person named Lu Yu, Lu of road, Yu of universe, over 40 years old."
Jiang Ning was dumbfounded. How could there be no Lu Yu?
This is unscientific. Could something have happened to them on the way to Huicheng?
Jiang Ning was a little panicked and had mixed feelings for a while. He quickly asked the staff to help check Zheng Weili and Zhang Chao.
Zheng Weili was not there, but there were three people named Zhang Chao, but their ages did not match.
Jiang Ning was confused. What happened?
After leaving the guardhouse and returning to the car, his mind was still in a mess.
In the end of the natural disaster, life and death are unpredictable. Huo Yishen comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Maybe they changed their minds and went to Jiacheng."
Jiang Ning thought it was unlikely. The food they brought with them, apart from the money they had to pay for entering the base, would still allow them to live for a long time.
Besides, Huo Yishen had clearly reminded them that military bases were much safer.
Without special circumstances, most people would give priority to military bases.
"Don't forget, Zheng Weili not only has parents, but also brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces. Will she watch her family suffer?"
Huo Yishen guessed, "It's possible that the Zheng family can't get food, so they can only settle for the official base.
Even if they can get it, Zheng Weili drags more than a dozen family members, and even if she personally meets the conditions of the military base, the military base may not accept it."
