An entire day had passed. With another transfer of 3,000 people to help, all the floods had been emptied. Basically, all the people who were not buried were saved and properly settled.
The signal base station was fully repaired, but unfortunately, after repeated calls, Xia Wanyuan’s phone always replied with “It’s not in the service area”.
“Young Master, have a bite to eat first. It’s been a day and a night.” Lin Jing brought a lunch box over.
“Yes, it’s been a day and a night.” Jun Shiling’s deep voice sounded. “Take it away. Have you found out?”
“Shen Qian said that Madam might have gone to check the limestone cave. We’ve already located the location and are currently doing our best to dig, but because the mountain is complicated, it might take some time.”
“Got it. Go.” Jun Shiling waved his hand. Lin Jing wanted to say something, but in the end, he shut his mouth.
——
The temperature in the cave was much lower than outside. In addition, Xia Wanyuan had not eaten for the entire day, so she was cold. Xuan Sheng took off his coat and covered Xia Wanyuan.
“Thank you.” Xia Wanyuan smiled and wrapped herself tighter. She could feel that her body was beginning to overdraw its energy.
“I wonder when they’ll find us in this lousy place. Do you think we’ll be a pair of dying couple here?” Xuan Sheng was also feeling very uncomfortable, but his peach blossom eyes were still smiling ostentatiously.
“No, they’ll find us,” Xia Wanyuan whispered.
“Why did you save me just now?” Xuan Sheng’s gaze landed on Xia Wanyuan’s swollen leg because she had not been treated in time. The smile in his eyes disappeared.
“There’s no reason. Am I supposed to watch you get smashed to death?” Xia Wanyuan didn’t think much of it. If it were anyone else, she would help too.
However, Xuan Sheng smiled. His eyes were red. “I’ve heard a similar sentence in the past. However, what she said was that there’s no reason, I just want to see you die.”
Xia Wanyuan could tell that there was something wrong with Xuan Sheng’s tone. She suddenly looked up, but Xuan Sheng’s expression had already returned to normal. He looked at Xia Wanyuan’s face with a familiar evilness. “Sleep for a while and conserve your strength.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. She leaned against the stone wall and closed her eyes.
After Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes, Xuan Sheng looked at her deeply and lowered his eyes. It was unknown what he was thinking.
Two days passed.
Basically, all the victims had been properly placed at the designated location, but Xia Wanyuan was still not found.
Half of the mountain where the cave was located had been dug out, but what was strange was that there was no aura at all.
“Dig up all the mountains in that area and continue to send more people.” Jun Shiling looked at the mountains in front of him calmly, but his hands were clenched tightly.
“Yes.” Batches of helicopters, excavators, and heavy machinery continued to be transported over, digging the continuous mountains day and night.
After not eating or drinking for three days and three nights, in addition to the cold temperature in the cave, the wound on her leg was not properly treated and was constantly inflamed and swollen.
Xia Wanyuan’s stamina decreased very quickly. This body had been pampered since she was young. In the manor, Jun Shiling had taken care of her in every way possible. The empty stomach of Xia Wanyuan caused her to feel dizzy and she woke up in a daze.
For the past three days, she had basically slept against the stone wall after opening her eyes to speak to Xuan Sheng. She wanted to conserve her strength to the greatest extent, but without energy to replenish, her body would constantly become weak no matter how much she saved.
On the fourth day, the rescue team was still pushing forward.
Jun Shiling had not eaten for four days and always took a short nap. He stood at the peak of the mountain and looked at the stone ground below. Even Old Master could not persuade him.
As time passed second by second, the night gradually approached. The weather, which was still clear in the day, suddenly blew violently and a storm began.
“Young Master, let’s go back first. It’s raining heavily here.” Lin Jing came over with an umbrella, but it could not stop the violent wind and heavy rain.
“I want to accompany her.” Jun Shiling did not turn around but looked intently at the mountain below, his voice a little hoarse.
The rain fell on his face, and the corners of his eyes were red.
The wound on her leg had not been treated for a long time. In addition, she had not eaten for four days, so Xia Wanyuan’s immunity had rapidly decreased. Xuan Sheng was still in a daze when he heard Xia Wanyuan softly cry out.
What’s wrong?” Xuan Sheng leaned over and asked. He saw Xia Wanyuan whispering.
Xuan Sheng leaned closer and heard Xia Wanyuan call out softly, “Jun Shiling.”
Xuan Sheng paused, but then he realized that something was wrong with Xia Wanyuan. He reached out and touched Xia Wanyuan’s forehead. It was burning hot.
Xuan Sheng pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and called out to her. Then, he realized that Xia Wanyuan had lost consciousness. She had not eaten a single grain of rice in four days. Xia Wanyuan’s lips were already dry and cracked.
Xuan Sheng knew that Xia Wanyuan was dehydrated.
Taking a deep look at Xia Wanyuan, Xuan Sheng reached out and bit open a wound on his wrist. Blood immediately gushed out and he brought his wrist to Xia Wanyuan’s mouth. Sensing the moist liquid flowing by the side of her mouth, Xia Wanyuan subconsciously opened her mouth to swallow it.
After sending more people over and over again, even though there was a storm, the rescue mission continued to advance rapidly. Finally, after moving nearly half of the mountain rocks away, the detector detected a weak signal deep in the mountain.
