The rescue of the troops stationed in the desert came very quickly, three minutes to send troops, twenty minutes to the battlefield, thirty minutes to solve the battle, the troops with large-scale airdrop weapons, the insect tide bombarded a large area, most of the remaining escaped, only a small part of the stubborn resistance, was wiped out by the ground army and the base defenders on both sides.

The defenders of the base continued to advance into the interior of the base, investigating layer by layer, and eliminating the invading and internal Xuandu tribes. The water level in the living quarters has also been lowered to a height of only four or five centimeters, and drainage and maintenance have begun to be carried out in the base. The giant body of the adult was sent out of the base through the central passage, and outside the base, along with the corpses of the insect tide, it was piled up into a dozen hills.

A catastrophe that threatens the base is victorious with the great superiority of humanity.

Chi Mo had a gloomy face, and reported the specific details of the base defense battle to the lieutenant commander of the garrison troops, and Bai Amaranth was also reporting the situation and losses in the base to the investigators of the General Bureau of Equipment in the Eastern Wilderness, the armed group carried equipment and rested weapons, the equipment group repaired the cabin, and the logistics group treated the wounded, everything became orderly, as if it had returned to the way it was before the beast tide.

But Chi Mo's heart still sank to the bottom, after reporting the battle situation, and giving a simple order, he rushed out of the control room without looking back, found An Xiaoyu's ward, opened the hatch, but found that there was no one.

He found Bai Amaranth with a cold face, and the two of them together called up the door card record before the implementation of the drainage plan, and watched in horror as the silent door card swiped open several hatches, all the way to the central passage of the living area. And the last card swipe record is exactly one minute before the implementation of the drainage plan.

Chi Mo immediately dispatched a special search and rescue team, starting from the central passage of the living area, all the way to find An Xiaoyu. The entire search and rescue team searched all over the living area, the industrial area and the equipment warehouse, and even went to the top to find the cultivation layer, and circled around the base three times, but still found nothing.

Bai Amaranth said: "It can only be in the resource area, but the resource area..."

She glanced at Chi Mo, unable to speak.

Now due to the reason why the Wandering Beast excavates from the ground, coupled with the water pressure erosion, I don't know how many new mines have appeared, and how many old caves have collapsed, even if there is a dry space underground that can make people stay, how to find it, it is still a headache.

It was at this time that Guan Jue, who had disappeared for a whole day, appeared.

He walked to the control room, Shi Shiran stood at the door, looked at the two people in the control room, and said with a smile: "You two look like you now, you are really a bit husband and wife." ”

"Guan Jue!" Chi Mo frowned.

"Where have you been this day?" White Amaranth asked. As the leader of a group, not only did she not give orders when there was an emergency, but she couldn't even find anyone, and she was annoyed by this behavior.

Guan Jue saw that Bai Amaranth was about to go crazy, so he hurriedly left from the door frame, waved his hand and said: "When the accident happened, I commanded them in the research institute to protect the equipment and materials, you know, you can't soak in water." ”

Bai Amaranth's face was slightly pale, and he snorted and left. Guan Jue began to report the loss of the institute to Chi Mo, because he acted quickly with the researchers, so the situation was not serious, and he quickly finished reporting and handed in the form, Guan Jue said at the end: "By the way, the imperial capital is here, you are the supreme official, you go and deal with it." ”

What kind of fault did the people from the imperial capital come to find again?

Chi Mo reached out and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache.

Chu Sui's head was also hurting, and his proposal was to slaughter the young Xun Du and eat meat, he had fire on him, and there was spare support wood in the mine to burn. But An Xiaoyu quarreled with him hungry.

How could such a cute creature be eaten?

He wanted to tell An Xiaoyu that if there was no food, even if the water under the ground receded, they might not be able to return to the surface safely. And judging from this lost Xundu, there are probably countless adult Xundu wandering in the entire underground mine, if you don't eat them, you won't have the physical strength to protect yourself, you will be eaten by them.

But looking at An Xiaoyu holding the hairball, it was really cute, so he chose not to speak.

Just now he observed that the water level next to him had begun to fall, although it was not too obvious, but he knew that this kind of seepage caused by the leakage of the underground dark river, once the groundwater pressure was released, it would stabilize, and if the water level dropped, the speed of the water receding down would become faster, and soon they could go out and find their way back to the surface.

Whether to wait for rescue in place or to find the way by himself, in fact, Chu Sui has not yet made up his mind. According to the old miner's reminder, if you get lost underground, you must wait for rescue, but now this is not the case, he doesn't know if the rescue team will be sent down from above, is it already sure that the people below are drowned? After all, it had been so long since the ground was full of water, and he hadn't seen anyone else trapped in this dry area.

He hesitated for a long time and told An Xiaoyu his thoughts.

An Xiaoyu hugged the young man, her white and slender arms and golden soft fur were matched together, her black hair fell to her ears, and her face was slightly red. She put her chin on the top of Xundu's head, her eyes rolling, and she didn't know what to do after thinking for a long time.

She raised her head in embarrassment: "I don't know, you say, I listen to you!" ”

I listen to you!

Chu Sui's heart beat twice, and the man's self-confidence instantly swelled at this moment, and he said, "Okay, when the water recedes, let's go back together." ”

An Xiaoyu saw that he was full of confidence, and felt that the future was bright, and he didn't notice that Chu Sui was just inflating himself, and thought that as long as the water receded, he would be able to return to it immediately.

She thought about Chi Mo, and her face burst into laughter, seeing Chu Sui stunned for a while, and thought that her manhood had infected her, her heart was even more surging, and even the last bit of worry in her heart was gone, and he also began to feel that as long as the water receded, he could immediately take her back to the ground, and...

Chu Sui also laughed.

Soon, the water in the pit began to fall, revealing the ramp in the distance, Chu Sui and An Xiaoyu chased the descending water and walked down the ramp, Xiao Xundu followed them, and soon, after the water level fell again, a vertical shaft was exposed that was transparent up and down, Chu Sui checked it, and because of the good sealing, the lifting frame was still usable.

He stood on the lifting frame and said happily: "Xiaoyu, come up quickly, this can be used, maybe after going up, I will go to the place I know!" ”

An Xiaoyu was also very happy to hear it, but looking at Xiao Xundu beside her, she was a little hesitant.

Chu Sui finally found an opportunity to let her lose the light bulb, but seeing that she was still a little reluctant, she persuaded her: "It is originally wild, and if you take it up, it may not be able to feed it, and the underground is where it should stay." ”

An Xiaoyu looked at Xundu's little eyes with reluctance, touched its head, Chu Sui saw that the strength was not enough, and continued: "This elevator was already soaked in water, and it was already a little reluctant to bear the two of us, in case you can't go up with it, it's a little difficult to find another opportunity." ”

Hearing Chu Sui say this, An Xiaoyu relented and patted Xundu's head: "Let's go, you have to be good yourself, go home quickly!" ”

An Xiaoyu stood up, grabbed Chu Sui's outstretched hand, and got on the elevator, Chu Sui pressed the rise button, the elevator shook twice, slowly moved up, and entered the shaft. Standing next to the shaft, he watched the two humans he had encountered disappear, a little inexplicably, but he immediately forgot about it, and ran over the shaft towards the descending water.

The inner walls of the shaft and the alloy brackets erected inside are particularly moist after being soaked in water, and the occasional sound of water droplets hitting the steel beams is particularly pleasant. The old machine of the elevator was a little sluggish, but it was still able to work normally, and climbed up with An Xiaoyu and Chu Sui.

In the process of ascending, they also passed through a lot of unoccupied mines, I don't know how many floors, the elevator finally stopped, and the shaft came to an end, but the place where they stopped was obviously not the top level.

Out of the elevator, there is still a long mine in front of me, and there are mine lights hanging next to it, some of which are broken, but fortunately, most of them are still fine.

"Is this a place you know?" Ann asked quietly.

Chu Sui looked around: "It seems to be a little familiar, go ahead and take a look." ”

"Hmm."

So the two of them walked down the mine, looking for the exit where they didn't know where.

Compared to the calmness of An Xiaoyu and Chu Sui, the silence on the ground was already about to go crazy.

When his request for help was sent to the General Military Region of the Eastern Wilderness Garrison, there happened to be an inspection team from the imperial capital that was about to enter the Eastern Wilderness to conduct a surprise spot check.

The inspection team felt that since we were so destined, it would be better to be at your base, which had just experienced a disaster, and we could do something to do our part, so they followed behind the garrison army and took the last helicopter to the base.

The leader of the inspection team was a deputy director of the Infrastructure Supervision Department of the Imperial Capital Resources Development Administration, who was very old and had a lot of experience, and he made it clear that he had given instructions from above to inspect the specific situation of the base from top to bottom, and also proposed that due to the flood situation, only the base that was silent should be regarded as a pilot project, and all the situation should be used as a reference.

Their meaning is already obvious, seeing the base that has experienced the beast tide and floods, I want to study it, if you don't agree, I will report the loss, and how to punish you from above is a matter of the above; If you agree with us to stay here for a while, it will not only serve as a model of disaster resistance, but also apply for some benefits.

Of course, the benefits must be shared.

Chi Mo has also been a commander in the army for such a long time, and when he was in college, he had been exposed to the ugliness of the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and even had his mecha pilot qualifications revoked, so he naturally understood the taste, so he could only swallow his anger and let the inspection team stay.

White Amaranth gloated: "What are you going to do now?" ”

Silently removed the gloom from his face and asked, "What should I do?" They watch it as much as they like. ”

After Chi Mo finished speaking, he turned around and left, Bai Amaranth looked at his back strangely, sighed, and asked Guan Jue: "Do you think there is anything wrong with Chi Mo?" ”

Guan Jue smiled: "If you care, you will be chaotic, and you will operate normally." ”

Bai Amaran felt that what she and Guan Jue said was not the same thing at all, in fact, she wanted to find An Xiaoyu more than Chi Mo, after all, this girl who should not have appeared at the base disappeared in the water because of her own negligence, and her heart was full of guilt. But what she wanted to say had nothing to do with An Xiaoyu.

When she turned her head to look again, Guan Jue had already walked away, she thought about it, and after all, she didn't continue to say anything, so she had to focus on the post-disaster renovation work again, and in less than a minute, she turned back into the prohibitive peacock and issued one instruction after another.

Guan Jue looked at Bai Amaranth's appearance, glanced at his mouth, walked out of the control room, passed through one corridor after another, and arrived at the central passage, where someone had already begun to clean up around the passage. The mud and sand washed out of the ground by the heavy water, and some pit garbage, were stained with clean bulkheads, and the cleaners were struggling to clean them with the help of elevators.

The people of the equipment group were checking whether the various elevators in the central passage were in good condition, and when they saw Guan Jue coming, some people greeted them, and the person in charge of this part came up to salute, Guan Jue waved his hand: "I'll see if there are any signs of the crossing here, you continue." ”

"Yes! Team Leader! ”

Through the busy crowd, Guan Jue stood by the hatch of the central passage, which was responsible for dredging the water pressure, the elevator no longer knew where it went, only the shaft went straight up and down, looking down at the bottomless, Guan Jue looked around, looked at the depths of the shaft, and turned to leave.

Guan Jue left the central passage, his two hands swayed naturally, as if he hadn't done anything just now, and no one noticed what was going on with this usually mysterious R&D team leader coming to this place.

When someone stood next to the shaft again, they still saw a bottomless hole.
