Chapter 19: Close Maneuver (1)

An Xiaoyu was finally rescued, and she and Chu Sui walked in the wet pit for a whole night, although they didn't know it was night underground. After all the water in the mine had fallen, Chi Mo organized a special search and rescue team, each team was equipped with a veteran miner, three young miners to deal with the situation in the mine, four armed guards with loaded guns, and two logistics team medical personnel.

A whole 1,000 people went down to the mine and began to search and rescue the people stranded in the mine in all directions, because there were not enough medical personnel in the base, and they also applied for a part of the transfer from the military region of the army stationed in the desert, and the entire search and rescue lasted for five days.

An Xiaoyu and Chu Sui were first found and brought out, and when they saw Chi Mo, An Xiaoyu finally couldn't hold back, and threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly. The optimism and tenacity shown by this girl from the Eastern Wilderness on this day and night made Chu Sui, a miner with two years of service, particularly admired and yearned for.

When he saw that the man holding the girl in his arms was the supreme commander of his base, his sturdy shoulders shook slightly, although he had already heard An Xiaoyu talk about her and Chi Mo, but when he really saw it in his eyes, he still couldn't accept it after all.

The worker next to him rushed over, put his arm around his shoulder, and carefully inquired about his physical condition, only then did he come back to his senses, forced himself to forget An Xiaoyu's smiling face, and asked the worker about the team that entered the mine with him, while walking towards the specially opened medical area.

An Xiaoyu was sent back to her room by Chi Mo, and after changing her clothes, she felt that her feet began to hurt violently, and the backpack in her hand became as heavy as being filled with sand, and she opened it on the ground, and took out the clothes inside to dry one by one.

The big book distributed by the Three Thousand Academy was soaked by the water, but after opening it, it was found that the paper was wet, and the handwriting was not blurred at all, probably a special material of paper, which made An Xiaoyu breathe a sigh of relief.

These days, she has regarded this book as more important than anything else, and she is deeply aware that without the things recorded in this book, it will be difficult for her to integrate into the life of the base these days, let alone the life after getting out of the Eastern Wilderness and entering the imperial capital.

She took a hot shower, and when she was wiping herself, there was a knock on the door, and she hurriedly changed her clothes, and pulled her wet hair aside, which had grown above her shoulders these days, and made her even more petite and cute.

When I opened the door, I saw Chi Mo standing at the door, holding two lunch boxes that could be taken out from the canteen. An Xiaoyu let him in, and the two of them sat down at the table, slowly looking at the meal. Chi Mo asked her very carefully what had happened, whether she had been injured, and if there was anything uncomfortable on her body.

In fact, when leaving the mine, the medical version had already conducted a full body examination on every person who was searched and rescued, and An Xiaoyu was already very healthy and strong, and he didn't hit the bulge when he was hit by the current, so there was no problem except for a few abrasions and bruises.

An Xiaoyu told everything that happened after he returned to the base, and asked: "I met a Xundu when I was under the mine, what is Xundu?" ”

"It is a very rare species in the Eastern Desert, and it has not been encountered many times in the statistics of the Three Thousand Empires, because they usually only live in places with underground water flows, and rarely come out of the depths of the desert, so they often share a pit for the entire ethnic group to go out." Chi Mo explained: "This kind of thing survives by looking for insects to cool off in the depths of the sand as food, so the hole is very powerful, and the flood in the base this time is caused by the crossing and the insect tide passing up and down." ”

"Because they make holes? Can such a small animal make a hole that big? ”

"The one you saw is so small, it must have just been born, and in a few days you go outside the base to take a look, and the corpses that were killed outside, the smallest one is the size of a transport truck. Originally, when the base was built, it had been surveyed that there was no underground water flow, and they led one over. ”

"Oh." An Xiaoyu finally dispelled the urge to raise one. Suddenly, she thought of Chu Sui again: "Thanks to Chu Sui when you are below, you must thank him well, or one day we will have dinner together?" ”

Chi Mo smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

"Also, is it necessary to search all the mines this time?"

"Hmm."

"Then can you find Zhang Shujie by the way?" An Xiaoyu wrinkled her little face.

Chi Mo looked at her, stretched out his hand and touched her head: "I must be looking for it, I have been helping you find her." ”

An Xiaoyu laughed at this time.

After the two of them finished eating slowly, the silent communicator rang, and when they connected, they heard Bai Amaranth shouting angrily at the other end: "Where did you die?" Come to the control room! ”

The voice stopped abruptly, An Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, the base had just been destroyed, Chi Mo, as the supreme military commander, had a lot of things to deal with, and he had to find time to accompany himself, what if his subordinates were also angry like Bai Amaranth.

So she sent Chi Mo out of the house and said softly: "When I have a job, I don't use it, I go to the canteen to eat by myself, and the things at the base are more important." ”

Chi Mo looked at her and said, "None of them are as important as you. ”

An Xiaoyu was sweet in her heart: "Well, I know, you can go quickly." ”

Watching Chi Mo leave, An Xiaoyu felt that she was the happiest person in the world.

That night, there was no sound coming from the dark corner of the hallway, and there was no more situation for four nights, probably because the entire research room had been moved from there last time. An Xiaoyu once took advantage of the fact that no one looked over there, and the card access control on the door was no longer energized, obviously the building was empty, although the matter had not been figured out, but she was indeed relieved.

On the fourth day, dying people began to be rescued from the pits, and on the fifth day, only corpses remained. Some people met adult Xundu in a pit and were devoured, some were trapped in a narrow space and suffocated, and some were starved to death for lack of food.

An Xiaoyu was glad that she and Chu Sui quickly found the right way that day, walked to the upper floor of the mine, and encountered the rescue of the search and rescue team on the first day. But she and Chu Sui both knew that it was not Chu Sui's work experience that helped them to come out so quickly, but an unknown person.

Lying on the bed at night, An Xiaoyu was holding a white ball in her hand, one side of the ball was lit up with green points of light, and the green light flashed and flashed, illuminating her face, and when she let go of her hand, it floated in the air and no longer moved.

That day, Chu Sui and An Xiaoyu came up from the lowest floor in a lift, and it seemed that they had passed through many floors, but they were still at the bottom of the mine, and Chu Sui had no impression of this area. They walked a lot and tried a lot of passages, but in the end they couldn't find the next straight lift.

Hunger and fatigue slowly eroded their bodies and spirits, and the two of them finally couldn't walk, sitting in a dry corner and thinking about whether to continue walking or wait for rescue. Now that they think about it, no matter which path they choose, they may be like the people who have been rescued in the past two days, either with only one breath left, or they will die in that place.

Just when they were desperate, An Xiaoyu looked up and saw a light in the distance of the pothole, and she pulled Chu Sui's arm: "What do you see is that?" Green light! ”

Chu Sui was startled, thinking of the steppenwolf next door at the junction of the Eastern Wilderness and the Plains, at night, the hungry eyes of the wolves flashed with a faint green light, he hurriedly looked into the distance, but found that this green light was so pure and warm, just like the green leaves of midspring.

What is it?

Both of them were curious.

The green light flew along the tunnel, towards An Xiaoyu's location, and soon came to their side, and stopped in front of them, and only then did they see the white ball with green light. It circled around An Xiaoyu's body twice, flying towards where it had come from.

An Xiaoyu didn't know what was going on, and Chu Sui stood in place in a daze, the ball flew a few meters away, and found that no one was following up, spinning violently in place.

An Xiaoyu guessed: "It makes us follow it?" ”

Chu Sui couldn't figure out what this was, and asked, "Really?" ”

The two men hesitated for a moment, followed behind the orb, and then it stopped spinning in circles, and staggered in front of it, and soon they saw the shaft of the lift, and then the next one, one by one, the lifts slowly led them up the upper floor.

All the way to the upper part of the mine, Chu Sui even felt that some places had been brought by the old miners once, which was very familiar. The round ball suddenly converged with green light, and suddenly got into An Xiaoyu's backpack, and when the two of them didn't know why, a person's voice came from in front of them.

I don't know why, An Xiaoyu hid the white ball from the search and rescue team, just said that he was washed down by the water, and then met Chu Sui, and then the two of them walked here and met them. Chu Sui also cooperated with her statement to tell the experience of the two people.

At some point, she firmly believed that the ball was sent down to her by Chi Mo, but things were not as she imagined, after leaving the mine, Chi Mo looked particularly surprised, and did not look prepared at all. An Xiaoyu also tried twice, and it turned out that the origin of the ball was still unknown.

She was puzzled, and hid the matter of this ball deep in her heart, if this is a person who can really help her to put down the mine, then who is this person, why didn't he appear in front of her, because he didn't want to let himself know? Or is it because you don't want Chi Mo to know? So she couldn't say it, because she was afraid that if she said it, the person would never help her again.

Every night, she had to look at the ball for a while, wondering about the person behind it, but also what it was, since it was able to find itself in the mine, it was obviously an intelligent thing, first to recognize faces, then to store maps, and then to orient itself.

But where's the switch for this thing?

An Xiaoyu looked at it many times, and found that the white flowers on this ball were round and bright, and she couldn't find any buttons and jacks, and she didn't even display any windows where the light was emitted, so it was voice-controlled? An Xiaoyu seemed to have discovered something new, sat up from the bed, let the ball levitate in front of her, looking at its bright green light, An Xiaoyu cleared her throat and whispered:

"Menu."

The green light on the white sphere flashed quickly, turning blue in an instant, and suddenly a blue menu option was projected in front of An Xiaoyu.

An Xiaoyu was taken aback, and looked at the menu in front of her in a daze, she didn't expect that she really succeeded, didn't she have voiceprint recognition?

She opened the menu and found the voiceprint lock, but when she clicked on it, she found that the voiceprint lock was recognized, but there was only one person in the voiceprint entered inside.

This person is actually An Xiaoyu!
