Chapter 21 I Survive Again
"How's the rescue going?" Zhang Tianyan asked Chenlong.
"It's not that good. I don't know how many people froze to death in one night. Many of the bodies that were brought back were hard bodies..." Chen Long shook his head, sighed, and then pointed to the spiritual realm door behind him and said: "Okay, go back quickly.
Well, your mother-in-law is urging you."
Zhang Tianyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said to Zhang Ye: "Let's go, don't keep your mother waiting."
Zhang Ye: "What's your mother? That's my mother."
Zhang Tianyan: "..."
Chenlong: "Hahaha!"
Then Zhang Ye and Zhang Tianyan came to the gate of the spiritual realm. This was the first time that Zhang Ye saw the real gate of the spiritual realm.
The stabilized Spiritual Realm Gate is like a colorful aperture, and inside the aperture, you can see the scene of another world.
Here comes the magical place.
The Spiritual Realm Gate that swallowed up the entire school district was underground, so it was horizontal. The Spiritual Realm Gate in front of Zhang Ye was vertical, so the scene Zhang Ye saw was, secondly, the scene of the sinkhole from the bottom up.
.
It can be seen that a series of lifting equipment have been set up in the sky, and then many ropes are hanging down, directly passing through the gate of the spiritual realm.
The rope that passes through the Spiritual Realm Gate is vertically downward due to the direction of gravity in this world. Looking at it this way, it looks like the rope is hanging in mid-air and then suddenly folded at a ninety-degree angle.
This is due to the different effects of space and gravity in the two worlds. All Zhang Ye had to do was to set up the halyard and safety rope, and then leave the rest to the elevator.
When ready, the lifting equipment is started and the rope begins to tighten.
Before Zhang Ye and Zhang Tianyan passed through the spiritual realm gate, they were pulled forward by the rope. But the moment they passed through the spiritual realm gate, they jumped into the air and were pulled upward.
This change in gravity made Zhang Ye feel extremely magical.
As the rope went up, Zhang Ye saw that there were many construction teams and construction equipment around the sinkhole, which were undergoing renovation and emergency repairs. After all, many water pipes, cables, etc. were broken and it would not work without repair.
Fortunately, the door to the spiritual realm is suspended in mid-air instead of flat on the ground, otherwise the fallen soil and sewage will rush directly into the spiritual realm along the door to the spiritual realm.
In this regard, these construction teams are obviously very experienced and will dig out areas for temporary storage of sewage and mud and rocks under the Spiritual Realm Gate.
Not long after Zhang Ye was pulled up, he saw several more students being rescued and returning to the ground through the halyard like him.
But those students were not as lucky as him.
Some have multiple wounds on their bodies.
Some have experienced severe allergic reactions.
Some even had their hands and feet broken off, and the wounds that had been simply bandaged were stained red with blood. They were wailing so much that they had to be transferred on an aerial stretcher.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ye's originally happy mood suddenly became heavy.
You know, his three best friends, classmates and teachers are not out of danger yet.
He usually gets along well with everyone, so no matter from what point of view, he sincerely hopes that everyone can return safely.
Soon, the halyard reached its highest point, and Zhang Ye returned to the ground.
However, just as he was about to take off the rope, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.
Vaguely, he saw the figure lying on the outer edge of the scaffolding.
Zhang Ye quickly turned around to look, but this time, he saw nothing.
what happened?
Is it an illusion?
Zhang Ye scratched his head and stood by the sinkhole and took a few glances, but did not see that figure again.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Tianyan noticed Zhang Ye's strangeness and asked.
"Dad, did you see someone climbing up from the scaffolding just now?"
"Climb up?" Zhang Tianyan raised his eyebrows: "Who has nothing to do to climb the scaffolding?"
"I seemed to have seen a figure just now..." Zhang Ye grinned but couldn't explain, and finally shook his head: "Maybe I'm hallucinating..."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyan nodded: "It is indeed possible to experience hallucinations due to changes in light when passing through the Spiritual Realm Gate for the first time. You will get used to it after wearing it a few times."
"Of course, it's also possible that you saw the shadow of a slinger."
Hearing this, Zhang Ye nodded and followed Zhang Tianyan towards the outside of the tiankeng.
As he walked, he looked at the sinkhole behind him.
Is that really an illusion?
He suddenly felt a little absent-minded, as if he was particularly concerned about that white figure.
But then, a voice attracted his attention.
"Smash it!"
As soon as he turned his head, Zhang Ye saw the woman waving to him in the distance.
She has phoenix eyes and a beautiful nose, and her facial features are very delicate and three-dimensional. She is somewhat similar to Zhang Ye, and she looks very young. Although she is in her forties, she looks like a girl in her twenties.
She has jet-black short ear-length hair and looks very capable. She is dressed in a smart outfit, as well as shoulder armor, knee pads and other equipment. She has obviously just returned from a foreign spiritual realm exploration trip, which makes her look even more heroic.
"Mom!" Zhang Ye immediately showed a happy expression and walked towards his mother.
But before he took two steps, his expression changed, he started to back away, and finally he ran away.
Looking at Liao Jie again, he took one step forward and rushed straight towards Zhang Ye like a missile sticking to the ground.
At that moment of explosion, the speed instantly exceeded 100!
Every time you take a step, you can feel the slight vibration of the ground!
Zhang Ye had just turned around and had not run a few steps when Liao Jie was already behind him and hugged him.
"Ugh..." Zhang Ye was immediately carried out by Liao Jie, and then Liao Jie turned around and started spinning around with Zhang Ye in his arms.
She hugged Zhang Ye tightly, as if she was scared because Zhang Ye almost died. At the same time, her eyes were red, and she felt extremely happy that Zhang Ye could return safely.
After spinning in the air for more than ten times, he landed smoothly. Liao Jie controlled his power very skillfully. Such momentum did not cause any real damage to Zhang Ye, but...
"Ugh..." As soon as he landed, Zhang Ye knelt on the ground and vomited all over the floor.
You must know that before he came back, he had eaten a single soldier's ration for eight people. He hadn't digested it yet, so he vomited immediately after being turned around by Liao Jie.
"Mom... the way you express your excitement next time... be more ladylike... ugh!" Zhang Ye said with difficulty.
Liao Jie laughed, put his hands on his hips and patted his back: "A strong person must adapt to all kinds of extremes, including but not limited to your own mother's spiral flying and killing cubs!"
Zhang Ye knelt on the ground and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, it's very extreme. As expected of you... ugh!"
Zhang Tianyan came over and smiled helplessly: "You still have the heart to complain when you vomit like this. I don't know who you learned this from."
Liao Jie: "..."
Zhang Ye: "..."
After vomiting for a while, Zhang Ye stood up suddenly and said, "I'm hungry!"
Hearing this, Liao Jie immediately put his arms around Zhang Ye's shoulders and said to Zhang Tianyan: "You go rescue people first, and I will take my son back to celebrate his birthday."
Yes, Zhang Ye spent the night in the spiritual realm, and today happens to be his birthday.
"Don't worry, Lao Shi and the others have already gone. I have more important things to tell you, and I also want to celebrate Ye'er's birthday with you." Zhang Tianyan said.
"OK."
Next, the three of them walked outside together.
Now the area near the sinkhole has been sealed off, and it's really impossible to get in without some means.
Riding on the levitating car made of thunderite produced in the Thunderworld, the three of them went home happily.
No one noticed that at this time, a small hand covered with blood stretched out from the sinkhole, grabbed the railing at the edge, and then pulled himself up.
Soon, a figure covered in blood and mud crawled out.
She was in a very embarrassed state, her originally snow-white hair became filthy from the blood and mud and dust, her thin clothes were in tatters, and she was as dirty as a beggar.
And there were many wounds on her body, which made her look even more embarrassed.
Only the pair of violet gem-like eyes were still shining brightly.
She looked at the wounds on her body and then at the huge sinkhole, and a cheerful smile appeared on her face.
"I'm alive again!"
