After returning to the cave, Zhou Yun lay down on the rock, and then stretched the branch underneath. Xiao Hang sat on the ground in a stone pit next to his feet, holding Zhou Yun's legs tightly with his hands.
A marine under the rock grabbed the branch, and as Zhou Yun pulled hard, he climbed up along the branch.
The Marine who was rescued also joined the rescue team. Soon, 11 more people were rescued one after another, but there were still two people under the rock. They were far away from the rock and required everyone to work together. Zhou Yun, who was holding a branch, was lowered to the rock to carry out the rescue.
Just when everyone was about to rescue the two people, suddenly, after a pale light, accompanied by violent shaking like an earthquake, the top of the entire mountain was lifted directly, and a huge conical patio appeared above everyone's heads. .
Stones of all sizes fell like raindrops, and the dust flying all over the sky completely engulfed the area where everyone was, making it look like a sandstorm.
The light ball located in the center of the lake exploded, destroying everything around 5 square kilometers around the lake. The top of the mountain was flattened by it.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yun woke up in the gradually dissipating dust. She saw that the place she was in was a mess. Stones from the top of the mountain were piled up everywhere like small hills. Everyone was buried under the stones.
Fortunately, although a table-sized stone fell next to Zhou Yun, it was about 30 centimeters away from her. The slightly curved surface formed by the stone blocked the attack of the stone above and saved her. One life.
Suddenly, she felt a heartbreaking pain spreading from her right arm. When she looked closely, she saw that the skin and flesh on her arm had been torn apart, and the blood had solidified into black patches in the space suit, but the space suit had not broken.
She tried to move her arm. Apart from the bursts of pain, her arm could still move freely. She breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was just a flesh injury, not a bone.
There was a crashing sound, and she turned around and saw the body of a Marine being lifted up from the rocks. His spacesuit was severely damaged, and there were black blood stains on his nose and mouth. He had been dead for a long time. .
Another crashing sound came, and Xiao Hang climbed up from beside the Marine. He slowly raised his arm, and then suddenly shook his shoulder. There was only a "click!" sound, and the dislocated shoulder reset. .
He leaned down, laid the Marine's body flat, lowered his head and mourned in silence...
This Marine was Xiao Hang's deputy. He used his body to protect Xiao Hang when the rocks fell.
After the silence ended, he and Zhou Yun immediately started rescuing other people. When the piles of rocks were removed, the brutality that appeared before their eyes was shocking.
Among the 11 people who were rescued before, 3 were buried by rocks the size of cars. Three human-shaped pits about 50 centimeters deep were smashed into the ground. Their bones have been integrated with the rocks. , black blood infected the ground.
But Zhou Yun and Xiao Hang did not give up the rescue. With their unremitting efforts, eight other people were successfully rescued. In addition to one person who was seriously injured, two others had injuries to their legs and waists to varying degrees, but they were not injured. Not fatal.
After a short rest, everyone carried the seriously wounded and helped the lightly wounded out of the cave.
The moment they stepped into the cave, everyone was shocked by the tragic scene in front of them. Looking around, the area within a radius of 5 kilometers was already a scorched earth. All the originally dense and towering woods were gone, leaving only wisps of trees. Green smoke.
The lake underfoot has also dried up, and the 3-meter-deep silt and humus deposited at the bottom of the lake have completely disappeared, leaving only a flat lake bed.
"The explosion just now destroyed everything here!" Xiao Hang murmured.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There was a tone of surprise in his words.
"Fortunately, we are still alive." One crew member said with emotion.
"This hollow island in the middle of the lake saved our lives." Zhou Yun said, looking around the island, and after a moment, she turned her gaze to the sky again. The two small interstellar ships that attacked them had disappeared.
"Contact the scout fleet and ask them to send a space vehicle to respond." Zhou Yun said to Xiao Hang.
Xiao Hang picked up the communication device and called, but after calling several times, there was no response from the scout fleet.
"It must be the strong magnetic field generated by the explosion of the light ball that blocks the communication here." Xiao Hang waved his hand helplessly.
Zhou Yun thought for a moment, then looked into the distance: "Lead everyone out of here and continue calling for rescue in the dense forest 5 kilometers away. It's safer there."
"What about you? Won't you come with us?"
"I have important things to do."
Xiao Hang understood that Zhou Yun wanted to search and rescue Liu Hanyang. He turned and looked to the right, which was the direction of the ruins of the city. Looking up, he saw that the originally dense forest had been completely destroyed, and all the objects used for visual positioning had been destroyed. No landmarks remain.
The Taibo aliens' fire coverage of the city ruins had already wiped out the area. Thousands of tons of soil completely covered the working area. Liu Hanyang was buried 150 meters underground, and his life or death was uncertain.
Xiao Hang knew that it was also his responsibility to rescue Liu Hanyang, but Liu Hanyang's chance of survival was really slim. At the moment, he and several people had just escaped from danger, and some were seriously injured. If he went with Zhou Yun to rescue Liu Hanyang, once the Taibo people If they try to fight back, these people will inevitably face danger again.
"Don't hesitate, take them to a safe place quickly, they can't stay here for long." Zhou Yun urged.
He wanted to give up her idea of going to rescue her, because the place had been bombed beyond recognition, but he didn't know how to speak. He knew her very well, and no one could convince her of her decision.
Especially when it comes to rescuing Liu Hanyang, she wants to see the person alive and the corpse even more.
Xiao Hang led the others and several wounded people staggering towards the dense forest in the distance. Zhou Yun stared at them for a moment, then turned and walked towards the ruins of the disappeared city...
The originally muddy lake bed became extremely hard due to the explosion of the light ball. It didn't take long for Zhou Yun to arrive at the intersection of the lake and the forest. It was said to be a forest. That was what it looked like before. Now, it has transformed. Made a scorched earth.
The entire surface was scorched black and bare, as if walking on a barren land, but here, it was originally a dense forest full of vitality.
After walking for about 20 minutes, she finally entered the dense forest. The shock wave generated by the explosion blew the trees here to the other side, and its range extended to the depth of the dense forest about 30 kilometers away.
Not long after entering the dense forest, several bright light clusters appeared in the sky. They were like fleeting meteors passing over Zhou Yun's head. She instinctively looked up in the direction of the light clusters. In an instant, Groups of gorgeous fireballs appeared in the sky. The fireballs exploded rapidly, and countless burning fragments fell to the ground like a goddess scattering flowers.
Zhou Yun's face immediately turned gloomy, and the light ball hit the scout fleet in the synchronous orbit of Feida Star, and no ship was spared.
"The Tiberians must have attacked the scout fleet!" she thought to herself.
She called Xiao Hang, but there was no sound except the buzzing sound of electricity coming from the communication device in the aerospace helmet.
Communications still have not been restored.
She sighed helplessly and looked at the sky again. The airspace where the scout fleet was located was already empty. Instead, there was a wave of waves surging from the center of its position.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
And opened countless burning fragments.
After a brief gaze, she walked forward with heavy steps...
After an arduous journey, 5 hours later, she finally arrived at the area where Liu Hanyang had previously carried out operations. As far as she could see, the entire area had been changed beyond recognition. The wide and deep pit that was originally dug had long been filled with soil. It is flat and covered with a thick layer of soil, shaped like a hill.
The firepower of the Taibo aliens turned the working area upside down, and the thousands of tons of soil stirred up fell directly, burying Liu Hanyang and other five scientific researchers inside.
Zhou Yun was a little at a loss. She didn't know how to rescue her. If Liu Hanyang was still alive, he was still in the pit, but the pit was a hundred meters away from the ground, and the mound above it was more than 150 meters away. deep.
Without large-scale excavation equipment, it would be impossible to dig him out with just your own hands. Even if you dig with your bare hands, by the time you dig him out, the best time for rescue may have passed.
But the flame of hope still burned in her heart. She felt that Liu Hanyang was still alive, but the more than 150 meters of soil temporarily isolated them.
The obsession in her heart made her unable to rest, and she immediately started searching everywhere, hoping to find the large-scale excavation equipment dropped by the previous scout fleet, but after searching for a whole circle, there was not even a single iron bar except for the damp soil. .
Her body softened, and she knelt on the soil sadly, shouting Liu Hanyang's name loudly, over and over again, her voice was sad and hoarse.
It was not that she had not thought of talking to Liu Hanyang directly, but she was afraid that he had been killed and would rather shout hysterically than activate the communication equipment.
The shouts still echoed in the empty land, and she realized that this was a foolish move. Her shouts could not be heard 150 meters deep underground.
Only communication devices can be started.
She blamed herself and regretted her behavior just now. This was a reckless move. If Liu Hanyang was still alive, she would have wasted her precious rescue time.
She stopped shouting, took a few big breaths, then turned on the communication device and called him...
Three minutes passed, and Liu Hanyang's familiar voice still did not come from the communication device.
She was a little desperate, looking around sadly, her eyes lonely and sad...
"Hanyang won't die, won't die!" Suddenly, a surge of excitement surged through her body, and she stood up with a "whoosh!"
She was cheering herself up.
She called Xiao Hang and the Yuanhang Fleet a few more times, but to her surprise, there was no response from either of them.
"Then there's a high probability that the strong magnetic field generated by the explosion also blocked the signal here!" she thought to herself.
She looked around numbly. The surroundings were empty and dead, with only the whistling wind constantly whistling across the scorched earth...
A murderous atmosphere.
But the strong rescue fire in her heart never went out. The obsession in her heart told her that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would rescue Liu Hanyang!
To rescue him, the first thing to do is to determine his location. This is the first and most important step. Only in this way can the rescue become realistic and operable.
She ran back quickly and stopped about 50 meters away from the working area, where she could see the entire working area. She wanted to determine where Liu Hanyang had worked by observing the surrounding terrain and vegetation features from a long distance. .
But to her disappointment, the terrain here has undergone earth-shaking changes, all vegetation has been destroyed, and all observable features have been lost.
