Chapter 54: Ice and Snow Cave

"My name is Ye Xiaobai, it's a pleasure to meet you."

This way of introducing himself reminded him of the cookie-cutter opening line of his college days, except that the situation was replaced by a street full of potholes and bloodstains and broken buildings, rather than a classroom full of desks. Most of those lovely classmates may have suffered misfortunes now, right? Ye Xiaobai's heart inexplicably came to a sense of melancholy.

The five people around him all smiled kindly, and Zhang Yinggang took out a small black bottle from his army-green backpack and smeared the liquid medicine in it on his somewhat bruised skin, it seemed that his strength system ability had not greatly strengthened his skin, and now he was grinning in pain while wiping.

"Captain, let's find a hidden place to rest first, the hell knows if those guys will come out of the ground, like a mouse, burrowing everywhere."

Cheng Kai carefully observed the surroundings, especially the ground that had cracked due to the battle, and suggested.

"Well, the fluctuations from the battle just now may attract some monsters!"

Fu Huaqing felt that he was reasonable, and Ye Xiaobai guessed that they should have medicine to treat wounds because he saw the medicine in Cheng Kai's hand, and wanted to ask for some from them to save Yuan Yuan, so that he wouldn't have to risk killing monsters to get green souls, so he also followed them. So after walking a few hundred meters and turning a few streets, the group chose to enter a hotel that looked fairly complete from the outside, and after finding a few sturdy tables against the door, the group went up to the second floor and found a large table to sit down. The reason for the choice

"Brother Xiaobai, you have awakened the ability to manipulate metal and the like, right?"

The middle-aged uncle Cheng Kai looked at Ye Xiaobai curiously, and his eyes were like looking at rare species, which made Ye Xiaobai's heart a little hairy.

"I don't know, I guess."

Ye Xiaobai didn't know what he meant by asking, and he wasn't sure if his awakened ability was the kind of metal manipulation that Cheng Kai had said.

"I think nine times out of ten it's true, you're so lucky, you know that there may not be one person with the ability to manipulate metal out of a hundred abilities!"

Fu Huaqing's eyes lit up, as if he had found some treasure, Ye Xiaobai estimated that his next sentence would be "join us" or something.

"Brother Xiaobai, are you interested in joining the army?"

"Uh......"

Fu Huaqing really began to woo him, what a familiar scene, because Li Qiannan also. Said something like that to him.

"Yes, it's dangerous to walk outside alone, if you join the army, you can call for support at any time, and there will be items that can improve your strength when you complete the mission, in this world, the stronger the strength, the greater the chance of survival."

Chen Xuhao also began to lobby, but what he said was indeed the truth.

"Maybe he was originally from the army, let's understand the situation first."

Huang Tiansan didn't seem to treat Ye Xiaobai very well, and his expression was indifferent when he spoke, with a sense of alienation that rejected people thousands of miles away.

"Thank you for looking up to me, but I've promised someone to join her team, and even though she's missing now, I can't miss my appointment unless...... She's dead. ”

Ye Xiaobai frowned slightly when he said this, and turned his head to look at the dilapidated street outside the window.

"You mean that the people who invited you are also from the military? I guess she must be a woman, right?! ”

Fu Huaqing looked at Ye Xiaobai's expression and seemed to understand something.

"Hmm...... Pretty a female captain......"

Ye Xiaobai's expression was a little dazed, and he suddenly blurted out, with a smile on his face, and then he reacted and smiled awkwardly.

"Pretty female captain? As far as I know, a beautiful woman who can be a captain in the army......"

Fu Huaqing thought about it, and he suddenly thought of someone.

"Is her name Li Qiannan?"

When Ye Xiaobai heard this name, his pupils shrank.

"You know her?!"

"Not to mention, before the natural disaster, our captain chased her for three years, but he has always stopped at ordinary friends, but now she is about to be killed by someone's son......"

"Nima ......"

The muscular man Zhang Yinggang suddenly exploded his captain's embarrassment, and immediately ushered in Fu Huaqing's punch and kick.

"Lao Tzu, that's a gentleman's friendship, as light as water, how can you say so badly!"

Fu Huaqing scolded with a smile, and Zhang Yinggang understood that he had said the wrong thing, so he smiled, but he was still muttering quietly, obviously not convinced.

"Hehe, this guy has always been open-mouthed, leave him alone."

A trace of pain flashed across Fu Huaqing's face, obviously not as calm as the expression on his face.

However, Ye Xiaobai didn't pay attention to these, he captured a key piece of information from the conversation between the two of them, this news made him so shocked that his hands trembled slightly, and he hurriedly asked:

"You mean- she's still alive?!"

Ye Xiaobai stared at Zhang Yinggang tightly, at this moment he hoped that his guess was correct, because that meant that his mother might also be alive, which was tantamount to a person who couldn't swim who had just picked up a swimming ring, and there was a sense of surprise that he was in a desperate situation.

"When we came out on a mission, we saw a figure that looked like her, but I wasn't sure if it was her, because the task was urgent, so I didn't go up to greet her."

Fu Huaqing answered Ye Xiaobai's question for Zhang Yinggang, but this ambiguous answer made Ye Xiaobai's excited mood sink again, but there was finally a hope.

"Then when did you come out on a mission, and where did you see her back?!"

"We ventured into this city, and we must have seen her back more than ten hours ago."

Seeing that Ye Xiaobai was so anxious, Fu Huaqing guessed that he and Li Qinan should be very familiar, and he didn't want to hang his appetite, and told him everything he knew, anyway, this is not a military secret, and if he gives more favors, he may need Ye Xiaobai's help in the future.

"More than ten hours ago?!"

Ye Xiaobai suddenly became excited when he heard this, that was the time after Li Qiannan's disappearance, if Fu Huaqing really chased her for three years, the chance of recognizing her by mistake should be very small, so Ye Xiaobai chose to believe that she was still alive. Although I don't know why she said goodbye without saying goodbye, and was able to cross such a long distance in such a short period of time, Ye Xiaobai couldn't find any reason why she would harm herself, so Ye Xiaobai guessed that she might be in some big trouble.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai's originally stable heart began to feel uneasy, not only worried about Li Qiannan, but also his mother Qiu Yan was also by her side, if Li Qiannan was in danger, then Qiu Yan's situation would not be much better.
