Having made up their mind to return to Star City on foot, the three of them went to talk to their sister-in-law.
"Xiao Yue, if you want to return to Star City, my sister-in-law will not stop you. But have you considered the safety issues along the way?"
Jiang Yue had no idea what was happening in the outside world now. So the safety issue is obviously non-existent.
"Gu, we are worried about your family's safety in Panshiling."
Speaking of which, compared to Jiang Yue and the other three, the safety of my sister-in-law's family is indeed more worrying.
"What are you worried about? Even our Lao Jiang family was not affected by such a terrible earthquake last night. This is the blessing of our ancestors. It is you who have to go back to Star City. According to me, Star City cannot be safer than this."
What my sister-in-law said makes sense.
But when they go back, they naturally have a reason to go back.
"Auntie, don't look at the things we brought in a cart yesterday. The whole family really has to sit back and eat what the horse chews. It will be consumed very quickly."
"What are you afraid of? It can only last for a month or two, right? In a month or two, the roads should have been cleared long ago. Besides, it is the spring sowing season. Panshiling has abandoned so many fields. We can cultivate whatever we want. . Aren’t you afraid it’s not enough to fill your stomach?”
There are not many fertile fields in Panshiling, after all, it is a mountainous area.
But at its peak, it was a mountain village with dozens or even hundreds of households. There was not much fertile land, and each household had a few acres of Susukita.
Whether the output is high or not, as long as the number is piled up, just their six mouths will be enough.
Jiang Yue couldn't laugh or cry. Hearing what his sister-in-law meant, did she want to stay in Panshiling to farm?
But the pursuit of young people is obviously not to fill their stomachs.
No matter what, Star City still wants to go back.
"Gu, I'm still worried about Star City. If I don't go back today, I have to go back tomorrow." Jiang Ying was determined.
My sister-in-law knew that this disagreement was not easy to persuade, so she did not force her to do so. After all, everyone was fine in Star City, but she insisted on going back to Panshiling.
It would seem selfish and overbearing if he insisted on not letting his niece and nephew return to Star City at this time.
Jiang Yue greeted: "Sangou, let's go from house to house and scrape it. Although Panshi Ridge is now deserted, maybe each house still has usable supplies?"
As long as the house is not empty, there are always some useful things, right?
There might be some food in the cellar, right?
The three of them were leaving, but it would be good to collect more supplies and leave them with my sister-in-law and her family.
Looking at this situation, the communication will definitely not be restored for a while, and the power will definitely be insufficient.
Most of the families in Panshiling had moved away many years ago, so apart from some worn-out furniture, there really wasn't much to search for.
Those who have left in the past year or two, or those who have been working outside for a long time, or even those who have left behind elderly people and children, will definitely have some supplies.
Those old people and children were harmed by Zhao Shouyin, and those materials are now ownerless.
After collecting the information, although Jiang Yue felt a little guilty, he could only make up for it when he had the opportunity in the future.
After one lap, I gained quite a lot.
There are several thousand kilograms of grain, of course, coming from more than a dozen families.
Including dried rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, as well as various dry goods, such as dried bamboo shoots, persimmons, walnuts, dried fruits, mushrooms, etc., and of course there is no shortage of various dried bacon, such as hare, muntjac, pheasant, smoked fish……
The variety is diverse and quite rich.
There is enough for setting up twenty banquet tables.
It's a pity that these foods are still there, but most of the owners of these foods are no longer alive. It's really sad to think about it.
In this damn weird world, who knows how many lives disappeared from this world last night?
In addition to food, there are also some common herbs, which are obviously important emergency supplies.
In addition, there are some daily necessities, and my sister-in-law and the others are not short of them for the time being.
However, Jiang Yue and the others collected everything that was useful in case of emergencies.
Supplies may not bring a greater sense of security, but they undoubtedly make my sister-in-law and her family feel more at ease.
While sorting the food, Jiang Yue stood up suddenly.
Walking outside the door, Jiang Yue pricked up his ears as if listening to something.
After a moment, Jiang Yue's expression changed slightly and he quickly rushed back into the house.
"Helicopters are coming."
Jiang Yue has excellent hearing. The helicopter has not yet appeared in his field of vision, but he has already vaguely heard the sound of the helicopter's rotor turning.
"Are they sent by the government for search and rescue?" My sister-in-law's eyes lit up.
Jiang Yue shook his head: "It's hard to say now. Let's hide for a while."
In this world, there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Especially after the big accident last night, he had no idea what was going on in the outside world. Who knew what the helicopter that appeared at this time was from?
What if it's the evil organization behind Master Liu and the others?
After a while, the helicopter hovered over Panshi Ridge, and the whirring sound could be heard more clearly.
Moreover, the destination of this helicopter was clearly Panshi Ridge. The helicopter was obviously lowering its altitude, looking for a wide ground to land on.
Through the window, Jiang Yue caught a glimpse of the helicopter painted in military green paint with obvious military logos on it.
Is it actually a military helicopter?
Jiang Yue vaguely remembered that the headquarters of the Central and South Region military was actually located in the Dajin Mountain area. It's just that it and Panshiling belong to two sides of the Dajinshan Mountains.
The straight-line distance is not that far, but if you want to walk from the ground, you have to go around a hundred miles.
But for helicopters, there is no need to take a detour.
The road at the entrance of the village was full of potholes, but the road leading to Lao Jiang's house was smooth and smooth. The plane quickly found a relatively empty concrete field to land.
This open space was originally used by the villagers to dry rice during the busy farming season. Because it was within the scope of Lao Jiang's family, it actually had a certificate and happened to land.
After it came to a stop, the plane door opened and three fully armed soldiers jumped out. They were the troops from the Central and South Region.
There were two people left on the plane, a pilot and a combatant on guard.
The three people were walking on the road in front of Lao Jiang's house. They were obviously a little surprised when they saw the smooth road and the intact houses around them.
Soon, they found the car parked in front of Jiang Yue's house.
Jiang Yue knew that the other party would find them soon, so he took the initiative to walk out.
The three soldiers spotted Jiang Yue immediately and signaled him to stop.
A soldier took out an electronic device, opened a photo, and compared it with Jiang Yue.
"It's him, the Mr. Jiang we are looking for."
The three soldiers immediately put away their weapons and saluted Jiang Yue in unison.
"Mr. Jiang, we are in the Central and South War Zone..."
After reporting his home, the captain in charge said: "We were ordered by the commander of the military region to come to Panshiling to look for a few of them. Are there Miss Jiang Ying and Mr. Jiang Tong here?"
Head of the military region?
In the entire Central and South Region, the head of the largest military region is General Tong Zhigao, the general of Dazhang Kingdom.
Jiang Ying and Sangou both walked out of the house after hearing this.
The captain checked the photos again and found that the three people he was looking for were all here, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"May I ask which commander of the military region gave the order?"
"Mr. Jiang, this matter was personally handled by the supreme commander of our Central and South Military Region. The order was personally issued by Secretary Zhang."
Good guy, one is the supreme commander of the Central and South Military Region, and the other is the secret of the supreme commander.
Jiang Yue frowned: "How does the military know we are here?"
The captain was a little surprised. Where did these three people come from? Hearing the name of the supreme commander of the military region, he still asked questions without feeling nervous at all? Is it really a big deal?
"We are just following orders. We have no right to interfere with the specific communication of the above information. The bounden duty of soldiers is to obey orders. The order we received is to find a few people. If they need it, we can be responsible for picking them up."
"Where to go?"
"You can go to our military station, or you can go to Star City. Our superiors have given us two options. It's up to you to decide."
Although the captain was a little surprised, he gave repeated orders from above that he must not offend these three people and must have a good attitude, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of these three people.
Therefore, although the captain felt that Jiang Yue and the others had too many questions, he still answered them patiently and did not dare to look impatient.
"How is the situation in Star City now?" Jiang Ying asked.
"We set off from the station. We don't know the situation in Star City at the moment."
The military attaches great importance to discipline. There is no explanation from the above. Even behind the scenes, it is impossible for individual soldiers to talk or speculate blindly.
"Then you come along the way. How is the situation outside?"
"Not optimistic."
Jiang Yue guessed that this was probably the case. He sighed helplessly and looked at Jiang Ying, waiting for her to make a decision.
After all, Jiang Ying can almost be regarded as a member of the military.
"Let's go to Star City." Jiang Ying made up his mind.
My sister-in-law's family also came out one after another when they learned that the military was coming to pick them up.
She also knew that the military had sent a helicopter to pick her up, and her nephew and niece must be leaving.
There are two rows of seats in the back of the helicopter, and it’s actually no problem if they add their family of six.
But my sister-in-law was very determined and determined to stay in Panshiling.
Jiang Ying and Jiang Yue had no choice but to follow her heart.
Fortunately, Panshiling is indeed relatively safe at the moment. In addition, there are enough supplies, the protection of the ancestral hall, and self-defense weapons. The most important thing is that my sister-in-law has mastered the first layer of inherited secrets, absorbed the power of heaven and earth, and her strength will continue to improve. .
With these guarantees in place, most of the time it won’t be a big problem.
As the rotor rotated at high speed, the helicopter slowly lifted off the ground, and after a while, it left the boundary of Panshi Ridge.
When the helicopter reached a high altitude and had a bird's-eye view, the dragon vein of Dajin Mountain was clearly visible. Judging from the situation, it was indeed a rare dragon.
And the situation of the Five Stars gathering to speak adds even more luster to this living dragon.
Unfortunately, due to the broken ridge of Jiuli Pavilion, the situation of the Five Stars Gathering was suppressed, making this living dragon look a little suppressed and a little lacking in appearance overall.
Of course, the overall dragon vein still continues and has not been destroyed.
This dragon vein is related to the feng shui of Star City. This saying has been around for hundreds of years.
Last night, the world changed so much, but it was a blessing that the dragon veins here were not significantly affected.
The speed in a helicopter is definitely much faster than on the ground.
What I saw along the way was that the ground was damaged everywhere, either lightly or heavily.
The towns and villages along the way were also severely affected. From time to time there was still smoke coming out from some places, and there were even open flames in some places.
There were still many vehicles stuck on the road. When they saw the helicopter in the sky, many people waved their arms, hoping for rescue.
Not to mention that this plane has a special mission. Even if it has no mission, how much rescue can a mere helicopter provide?
The closer we get to Star City, the lighter the damage is.
Especially near Star City, many roads have cracks, but they are still passable.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s far away from the epicenter, or because it’s closer to Star City and the buildings are stronger.
When we arrived at the outskirts of Star City, there were obviously fewer completely collapsed houses.
Except for some collapse of temporary buildings at some construction sites, the other conditions are generally good.
Soon, the plane approached the south of the city, and the magnificent Chengnan Bridge came into view. When the bridge was built, it was said that it was built to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 8 or above.
From a distance, there was no obvious damage to the Chengnan Bridge and it was still open to traffic. This was a detail that made Jiang Yue and the others slightly excited.
On the southern outskirts of the city is a cluster of low hills, which are very distinctive. One is connected to the other, like a formation. There are seven of them in total.
The shape of these low mountains resembles giant snails, so they are called Qiluoshan by the locals.
At this moment, the helicopter happened to fly over Qiluo Mountain.
Jiang Yue remembered that the Zhenjun Palace in the Angel Baby Kindergarten area was rebuilt on the top of Qiluo Mountain.
Looking down from the helicopter, Qiluo Mountain was actually indistinct at the moment. It was actually covered with a faint layer of mist, making it impossible to see the outline of Qiluo Mountain clearly, let alone the Palace of the True Lord.
There was no fog in the surrounding area. With the altitude of Qiluo Mountain being 200 to 300 meters above sea level, there would never be such heavy clouds and fog.
With Jiang Yue's eyesight, he was unable to penetrate the clouds and clearly see the outline of Qiluo Mountain, which was undoubtedly a bit strange.
"Sir, what altitude are we at now?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked.
"More than two thousand five hundred meters."
More than 2,500 meters?
"Can it be lower?"
"What height does Mr. Jiang need?"
"Let's go down below 2,000 meters and take a look? Don't stay away from Qiluo Mountain first, just hover around this area."
The pilot followed Jiang Yue's instructions and slowly dropped the altitude to less than 2,000 meters.
Jiang Yue kept observing Qiluo Mountain and frowned: "Do you feel that Qiluo Mountain has become higher?"
Qiluo Mountain becomes higher?
Qiluo Mountain itself is a short mountain, and the highest one is only two to three hundred meters.
When the pilot's plane dropped again, he received a terrain warning.
This warning means that the plane is not high enough and there is a risk of collision.
In this area, except Qiluo Mountain, there are no other high mountains, and it is impossible for there to be buildings more than a thousand meters tall.
With the height of Qiluo Mountain of 200 to 300 meters, it is still far from the current flying height of more than 1,000 meters. How can it be risky?
Could it be that Qiluo Mountain has really become taller?
The pilot did not dare to take risks and raised the altitude to more than 2,000 meters again, and the warning was immediately lifted.
