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, you want to go back to Star City, and my sister-in-law won’t stop you. But have you considered the safety issues along the way?”
Jiang Yue has no idea what is happening in the outside world now. Therefore, careful consideration of safety issues obviously does not exist.
“Sister, 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. You 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 if they go back, they naturally have a reason to go back.
“Girl, don’t look at what we brought in a cart yesterday. It’s really going to cost the whole family nothing. People eat what horses chew, and it will be consumed very quickly.”
"What are you afraid of? It can only last for a month or two, right? After a month or two, the road should have been cleared long ago. Besides, it is the spring sowing season, and 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 is not much fertile farmland in Panshiling, after all, it is a mountainous area.
But at its peak, it was a large mountain village with dozens or hundreds of households. There was not much fertile farmland, and each household had only a few acres of Susukita.
Whether the output is high or not, as long as the number is piled up, it is enough for their six mouths.
Jiang Yue couldn't laugh or cry. Hearing what his sister-in-law meant, did she want to stay in Panshiling for a long time to farm?
But the pursuit of young people is obviously not to fill their stomachs.
No matter what, Star City still has 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 it was she who insisted on returning to Panshiling.
It would seem selfish and overbearing if you insist on not letting your 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?
Perhaps there is still some food in the cellar?
The three of them are leaving, but it would be good to collect more supplies for my sister-in-law and her family.
Looking at this situation, communications 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.
As for those who have left in the past year or two, or who have been working outside for a long time, or even those who have elderly people and children left behind, they 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, Jiang Yue felt a little guilty, but he could only make up for it when he had the opportunity in the future.
After going around for a while, I gained quite a lot.
There are several thousand kilograms of grain. Of course, this comes from more than a dozen families.
Including dried rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and 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 hares, muntjacs, pheasants, smoked
fish……
There are many varieties, but they are quite rich.
There is enough stuff to set up a banquet for twenty 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.
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 also 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.
Materials may not bring more security, but they undoubtedly make my sister-in-law and her family feel much more at ease.
While sorting out the food, Jiang Yue suddenly stood up.
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 ran back into the house.
“There’s a helicopter 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 who the helicopter that appeared at this time belonged to?
What if it’s the evil organization behind Master Liu and the others?
Not long after, the helicopter hovered over Panshi Ridge, and the whirring sound could be heard more clearly.
Furthermore, the destination of this helicopter was clearly Panshi Ridge, and the helicopter was obviously lowering its altitude, looking for a wide ground to land on.
Jiang Yue looked through the window and 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 still vaguely remembered that the headquarters of the Central and South Region military was actually in the Dajinshan area. It was just that it and Panshiling were on 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 roads at the entrance of the village were full of potholes, and only the road leading to Lao Jiang's house was smooth. The plane quickly found a relatively empty concrete field to land.
This open space was originally a drying ground used by the villagers to dry rice when they were busy farming. Because it was within the scope of Lao Jiang's family, it actually had a certificate and happened to land.
After it stopped, the plane door opened and three fully armed soldiers jumped out. They were members of 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 door.
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, 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 announcing his home address, 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?
The head of the largest military region in the entire Central and South Region is General Tong Zhigao, the general of Dazhang Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying and Sangou both walked out of the house.
The captain checked the photo 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 secretary 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, they actually asked questions without feeling nervous at all? Could it be that they really have a big background?
"We are just following orders. We have no right to interfere with how the specific information is communicated. 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 was given repeated orders from above not to offend these three people, and his attitude must be good, 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 and don’t know the situation in Star City at the moment.”
The military is very particular about discipline. There is no explanation 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.
When my sister-in-law’s family learned that the military was coming to pick them up, they also came out one after another.
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, so 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, most of the time there won’t be much of a problem.
With the rotor rotating at high speed, the helicopter slowly lifted off the ground, and after a while, it left the boundary of Panshiling.
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 makes this dragon even more colorful.
It is a pity that due to the broken ridge of Jiuli Pavilion, the situation of the five-star gathering has been suppressed, making this dragon look a little suppressed and a little lacking in appearance.
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 the dragon veins here were not significantly affected, which can be considered a blessing.
The speed of flying in a helicopter is definitely much faster than on the ground.
What we saw along the way was that the ground was damaged everywhere, either lightly or heavily.
The towns and villages along the way were also badly affected. From time to time, there was thick smoke in some places, and there were even open flames in some places.
There are still many vehicles stuck on the road. When they see the helicopter in the sky, many people wave their arms, hoping for rescue.
Don’t say that this plane has a special mission. Even if it doesn’t have a mission, how much rescue can a mere helicopter provide?
The closer we get to Star City, the lighter the damage will be.
Especially near Star City, many roads have cracks, but they are still passable.
I don’t know whether it’s because it’s far away from the epicenter of the earthquake, or because it’s close to the surroundings of Star City and the buildings are stronger.
As we arrived at the outskirts of Star City, there were obviously fewer completely collapsed houses.
Except for some collapses 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. They are connected to each other like a formation. There are seven in total.
The shape of these low mountains resembles giant snails, so they are called Qiluoshan by locals.
At this moment, the helicopter happened to be flying 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 is no fog around. With the altitude of Qiluo Mountain being 200 to 300 meters above sea level, there will never be such heavy clouds and fog.
With Jiang Yue's eyesight, he was unable to penetrate the clouds and see clearly 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 yet, just circle around this area.”
The pilot followed Jiang Yue's instructions and slowly dropped the altitude to less than 2,000 meters.
Jiang Yue has been 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 in altitude, he directly received a terrain warning.
This warning means that the aircraft is not high enough and there is a risk of collision.
In this area, except Qiluo Mountain, there are no other high mountains, let alone buildings over 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 higher?
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.
