Volume 1 Chapter 228
Xiao Sheng invited Qin Kewei after recuperating from his injuries, and I have to say that the recovery ability of the ability is so strong, but it only took five days for Qin Kewei to recover as before.
And Lu Xian, Jin Zijue and Guo Pinming searched underground for a long time, but they still didn't find anything, and the zombies underground seem to have all entered dormant mode, which means that there are no living people underground, so the zombies will enter a dormant state, otherwise, the zombies will definitely kill all the humans they see.
Qin Kewei was invited by Xiao Sheng to the mountain where he was stationed, this is the place chosen by Lu Xian, according to his own speculation, he thinks that after Shen Feng disappeared, if he is still alive, he must be acting in this vicinity, and the traces of Shen Feng that he pursued before have also disappeared in this vicinity.
Qin Kewei sighed helplessly, and said to Xiao Sheng: "It's not that I hit you with my words, but Shen Feng's hope of living is really not great, I have been searching for news underground in the past few days when I was recuperating in the hospital, and I found that there are only seven people who have left the underground safely!" On Yue Hengyi's side, Yue Hengyi and I can open the passage to leave the underground, and on the side of the folk master Wang Aoye, there is also a person who controls the rocks, and he can also open the passage, as for Zhang Jue, he found it the earliest, and ran away when he saw that the situation was not good. As for Shen Feng, his ability is wind, and the underground is not a suitable place for him to fight. ”
Qin Kewei had already said it very tactfully, she couldn't directly say the news that Shen Feng was dead, after all, she had to consider other people's feelings, but these meanings were also obvious, fifteen days had passed, and Shen Feng hadn't come out for so long, he would definitely not be able to live.
Lu Xian hurriedly said: "Sister Qin, please also ask for your help, we must help us find the city lord, and if we look for a few more days, the city lord will definitely be alive." ”
Qin Kewei shrugged, nodded helplessly, and said, "Okay, then let's try again, but I think it's hopeless!" ”
It's still snowing in the sky, and it's been going on for almost a day since last night, and the earth is covered with snow again, it's really hard to find someone in this case, but Qin Kewei didn't refuse in the end, after all, when she escaped from the ground five days ago, it was Xiao Sheng who arrived in time to kill the mutant zombies who were chasing and killed.
It was getting late, Fang Qinghao and Zhang Zi were cooking for everyone, and Qin Kewei felt that it was no later to do, so he put his hands on the ground and sensed it seriously, and the material-type ability would be perceived seriously in the process of use, just as Guo Pinming could perceive the iron element, Qin Kewei could also perceive the land.
Qin Kewei's maximum perception range is fifty meters, and she can't perceive it farther away, although she can create several kilometers of earth walls in one go, but the range of perception is far smaller than the attack range.
Abilities all have shortcomings in perception range, just like Shen Feng can summon a strong wind within a radius of one or two kilometers at will, but his perception range is only a few tens of meters, which is not larger than the range that Qin Kewei perceives.
Qin Kewei patiently perceived for a while, determined the direction of the tunnel, and then walked to the top of the tunnel, casting his ability to directly open the passage to the bottom. Xiao Sheng threw a fireball into the passage, which immediately illuminated the scene below, but he couldn't see anything except zombies underground.
Qin Kewei did not give up, continued to perceive the underground situation, and opened one passage after another, although this kind of behavior consumes more physical strength, but at present, he can only do this.
Zhang Zi couldn't help but say, "Eldest sister, if you can open a crack directly from the ground, wouldn't you be able to see all the scenes below?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Kewei couldn't help but shake his head, and said helplessly: "You think too much, if I can do this, then I can split a mountain casually, at that time I was a god in the world, and I didn't bother to save people!" ”
Zhang Zi smiled, and while watching Qin Kewei open up the tunnel, he said what he thought: "My dream is to be able to use ice to make a palace at will, but unfortunately my ability is not that great, at most I can control the ice to attack, and I don't know if I can do it in the future." ”
Finally, the next morning, Qin Kewei discovered the anomaly, because she found an upward passage in the area near the stone wall, this passage did not look like it was excavated by zombies, because it was too narrow, this kind of passage could only barely let people through.
So, Qin Kewei quickly beckoned the people around him to come over: "Come here, I found a clue!" ”
As he spoke, Qin Kewei opened up this passage that went straight down, and everyone hurriedly looked down, but found that there were traces of excavation ten meters down this passage, and it was obvious that this was a passage excavated artificially. And in this area, only Shen Feng had ever gone down to explore, which meant that Shen Feng had tried to dig a passage up from here before!
Lu Xian suddenly realized and said, "No wonder we haven't been able to find the city lord around here, it turns out that he fell into the second layer of the cave, so we haven't been able to find it!" ”
Guo Pinming hurriedly walked over with the steel bar, and used his ability to create a ladder leading to the bottom, and everyone rushed in, until they came to the second layer of the cave fifty meters down, here, they found traces of a human short-term stay, but now no one on the second layer can be found.
"Did Shen Feng leave here? Why didn't he keep digging up? There are still ten meters to reach the ground! Xiao Sheng couldn't help but wonder, in his impression, Shen Feng was not a guy who would give up halfway, but it was really strange that Shen Feng dug a forty-meter passage upwards and finally gave up suddenly.
Fang Qinghao saw the crack on the stone wall, and dug a bowl-shaped area below the crack, and immediately reacted, and said: "It must be a lack of water, you see the crack here, it was a sunny day before, and after the snow melted, it flowed down the crack, Shen Feng and they could barely survive, but it had been snowing since yesterday, and Shen Feng must have had to leave because of lack of water." ”
Qin Kewei shook his head very regretfully, and said helplessly: "It's a pity, if they continue to stay here, we can save them, but now, I don't know where they are going!" ”
Things have developed to this point, it can only be said that it is a mistake, if the snow is a little later, Shen Feng can rely on his own strength to dig out of the ground, or he will be in this dead end for a little longer, Qin Kewei can also find Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan, but now, everyone has finally found the place where Shen Feng may exist, but he doesn't know where to go.
Lu Xian's mood instantly fell, he thought that he could find the city lord, but now it seems that it is just an empty joy.
Xiao Sheng cheered everyone up at this time, and said with a smile: "Everyone is happy, at least we have found evidence that Shen Feng is still alive, and we still hope to find him, before we all felt that Shen Feng could not live for too long underground without materials, but now it seems that Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan are still very strong and alive." ”
Qin Kewei knew that this was Xiao Sheng encouraging everyone, and he couldn't slack off just because he had nothing to gain now, so he hurriedly echoed: "Let's all look around, maybe we can find any clues." ”
In this way, everyone looked around from near the passage for another two days, Shen Feng never saw a trace, but saw a lot of zombies, fortunately, these zombies have entered a dormant state and will not be easily woken up, but for the sake of safety, everyone still killed all the zombies in the passage.
Seventeen days have passed since the zombie riot, and the headquarters of Yanjing no longer thinks that there are still living humans underground, especially the leaders of the Abnormal Energy Administration, who directly dialed the satellite phone and asked Xiao Sheng to take people back, Xiao Sheng said that the leaders of the Administration agreed to give him another day, and if he still couldn't find anything after a day, then hurry back to Yanjing.
The snow has been falling for two days, and it just stopped today, Xiao Sheng cheered up and led everyone to continue to look for Shen Feng on the second underground floor, if Shen Feng could not be found today, then he could only give up, he could not act without authorization, he had to obey the orders of his superiors.
Lu Xian and Guo Pinming were both depressed, if Xiao Sheng left with someone, then only the two of them would be left to find Shen Feng on their own, without the support of Xiao Sheng and others, it would definitely be nonsense for them to find Shen Feng, once the zombies ran away, they would be driven out of the underground cave.
However, at dusk, Yang Chang, who was far away in Yanjing, dialed the satellite phone in Guo Pinming's hand and said excitedly: "Don't look for it, the city lord is back, the city lord is back safely!" ”
"Coming back?" Guo Pinming wondered if he had heard something wrong, he couldn't find any trace of the city lord on his side, how could the city lord return to Yanjing on his own in this case?
Yang Chang said seriously: "I don't lie to you, the city lord is really back, he is very safe, but Miss Chu is not good, it is hard to say whether she is alive or dead, she is still in the intensive care unit of the hospital, it is said that the chance of surviving is too low." ”
Guo Pinming didn't have time to ask too much at this time, and hurriedly told Xiao Sheng the news: "Mr. Xiao, we don't have to look for it, the city lord has returned to Yanjing, let's prepare to go back here." ”
When Xiao Sheng heard this result, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Shen Feng was still alive, he could be regarded as able to tell Shen Yu the good news.
The group hurriedly packed up their things and drove back to Yanjing, Lu Xian went directly to the hospital where Shen Feng was, and finally saw Shen Feng on the chair outside the intensive care room. His feet were wrapped in thick bandages, and blood was oozing from them.
Lu Xian hurriedly asked: "City Lord, we have been looking for you all these days, but I didn't expect you to come back, what is going on underground these days?" ”
Lu Xian was especially grateful to Shen Feng for saving him, at that time, there were zombies running rampant, once they were entangled, it was a dead end, and the digging zombies had been blocking the exit, fortunately, Shen Feng thought of a way at the critical moment and sent him out of the ground with extreme speed, but in the end, Shen Feng and Chu Chaoyan were trapped underground, which made Lu Xian a little unhappy, feeling that he had dragged down the city lord.
Shen Feng was depressed, even if Lu Xian walked to his side, he didn't make any moves, and his eyes that were agile in the past lost their brilliance. The current Shen Feng can only be described by the word decadence, and there is no suitable word to describe him except for this word.
"City Lord, what's wrong with you?" Lu Xian asked cautiously.
Shen Feng still didn't speak, stretched out his finger and pointed to the intensive care unit in front of him, Lu Xian hurriedly walked to the door, and looked inside through the small window, but found that Chu Chaoyan was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and his body was densely packed with lines, some were lines to detect blood pressure and pulse, and some were plastic tubes for infusion, and he was still wearing an oxygen mask on Chu Chaoyan's face, although Chu Chaoyan's heart was still beating at this time, but this was barely running under the effect of adrenaline, once the effect of adrenaline passed, No one knew what would become of Chu Chaoyan.
"City Lord, go and take a rest, I'll guard here." Lu Xian said tentatively.
Shen Feng shook his head and said seriously: "No need, I'll just sit here, as for what happened these days, I don't want to say, don't ask!" ”
As long as he remembered how he left the underground, Shen Feng could feel endless humiliation in his heart, he didn't want to say anything at the moment, Chu Chaoyan was still uncertain, and he didn't want to leave here, so he just sat here dumbfounded, motionless, only occasionally blinking, otherwise it would be a stone statue.
