It was evening.
The setting sun hung breathlessly on the horizon, like a windswept old man languishing, his half-open, half-closed eyes looked like they were enamoured with the world, and also as if they were telling, the passing of life.
At this time, six whole hours had passed since Ye Qiu was buried under the yellow sand.
Although everyone was exhausted, none of them stopped and continued to search for Ye Qiu.
Gradually.
It was dark.
Suddenly, a shout rang out, “Chief of Staff, there’s a present.”
Hearing this sound, Tang Fei rushed over and asked urgently, “Is it Ye Qiu?”
“It’s not Doctor Ye.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Fei’s face darkened.
“It’s Professor Cao.”The warrior said.
Tang Fei looked down, only to see Professor Cao lying in the yellow sand, already dead, and with a blue nose and swollen face, it seemed that he had suffered torture before his death.
A military doctor stepped forward and performed an autopsy on Professor Cao on the spot, and the results were soon available.
“Chief of Staff, Professor Cao was beaten before he died, there are wounds on his face, back, hands and abdomen, but they are not fatal.”
The military doctor said, “I found a large amount of yellow sand in Professor Cao’s nose, and in his mouth, which blocked his airway.”
“Therefore, my autopsy conclusion is that Professor Cao died of asphyxiation.”
“I see.”Tang Fei said in a deep voice, “Professor Cao’s remains will be handed over to you for the time being, and you’ll have to place them properly.”
“Yes.”The military doctor immediately led the men and carried away Professor Cao’s body.
Afterwards, everyone continued to search for Ye Qiu.
It didn’t take long.
Another alarmed voice sounded, “Chief of Staff, another corpse has been found.”
Tang Fei sprinted over to take a look and saw that it was now an unfamiliar man, wearing a long white dress, somewhat like a scientific researcher, who was also dead.
“It should be a staff member in the base, keep looking for Ye Qiu.”
As they dug, more and more corpses were present.
The third, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth
A total of seventy-six corpses were excavated.
All of them were people from the base, just no Ye Qiu was present.
“Chief of Staff Tang, everyone is hungry and tired, let everyone rest for a while, the cooking class has already prepared a meal.”Yang Qi walked over to Tang Fei’s side and said in a low voice.
“No one is allowed to eat without finding Ye Qiu.”Tang Fei droned, “Ye Qiu must be found.”
“But.”
Yang Qi was still about to speak, but was interrupted by Long Night, “When we were inside the base, Ye Qiu saved us several times, he’s our benefactor.”
“Now that he’s alive or dead, how can we eat?”
“Tell the cooking class not to cook, come here immediately and search for Ye Qiu together.”
Streetlights were set up around the area, illuminating the deep pit as if it were daytime.
The warriors had been searching for Ye Qiu for nearly ten hours, they hadn’t eaten a bite of food, they hadn’t drunk a mouthful of water, none of them had stopped, and none of them had said they were tired.
Just like this, it continued until twelve o’clock in the morning.
“Ah ah ah ah.”
Suddenly, Tang Fei’s hissing roar spread across the sky, his voice filled with despair.
“Ye Qiu, where the hell are you?”
“Old me orders you to appear in front of me immediately.”
“Otherwise, when I find you, I’ll shoot you dead!”
The warriors looked up, only to see Tang Fei kneeling down on the yellow sand, both fists pounding the ground hard.
Seeing this scene, the warriors couldn’t hold back any longer and let out a loud cry.
At once, there was a tidal wave of crying.
Long Night wiped a handful of tears from his eyes and walked over to Tang Fei, comforting him, “Old Tang, don’t worry, Ye Qiu is lucky, he’ll be fine.”
Tang Fei looked up at Long Night, his eyes red, his voice trembling as he asked, “Do you think that Ye Qiu will still be alive?”
“Ye Qiu will live, he will definitely live, he,” Long Night said, tears suddenly falling from his eyes.
There was a pause of half a minute.
As Long Night wiped the tears off his face, he turned to the warriors present and shouted, “Brothers, tell me out loud, what is the motto of our Special Warfare Company?”
“No abandonment! Do not give up!”
The warriors replied in unison, their voices like thunder.
“That’s right, the slogan of our Special Combat Company is not to abandon, not to give up, I know that you’re all tired and worn out right now, but we can’t stop.”
“Ye Qiu is our comrade-in-arms, our brother, and our life-saver, so we must find him.”
“Never give up until we find him!”
As soon as Long Night’s words fell, the warriors roared:
“Never give up!”
“Never give up!”
“Never give up!”
The sound moved the clouds and the air was strong.
The warriors wiped away their tears, collected their sadness, and continued to dig up the yellow sand.
One o’clock in the morning.
An off-road vehicle stopped at the edge of the deep pit.
The door of the vehicle opened and Qinglong and Qilin walked out from inside.
When they saw the huge deep pit in front of them, which was several hundred metres long, a shocked look appeared on both of their faces.
“Heavens, what exactly has been experienced here?”Qilin exclaimed.
“It looks like something big has happened in the Northwest.”Qinglong’s face was expressionless as his eyes looked towards the deep pit, frowning slightly, “What are they digging for? So many people and machines are being used.”
“Who cares about them, we’re here to help Ye Qiu, no need to pay attention to what the others are doing.”Qilin said.
Qinglong asked, “Did Ye Qiu’s phone call go through?”
“No.”Kirin said, “I can’t get through anyhow, and I don’t know what he’s doing.”
“I saw Tang Fei, come on, let’s go ask Tang Fei.”
Underworld Palace and Dragon Sect often worked together, so Qinglong and the others and Tang Fei were familiar with each other.
The two came straight to Tang Fei.
Tang Fei was very surprised when he saw Qinglong and Qilin and asked, “Why are you guys here?”
Qinglong saw that Tang Fei’s eyes were covered in blood, and his hands were covered in yellow sand and blood, and felt strange in his heart, why was the Chief of Staff of the Underworld Palace in such a sorry state?
Qilin laughed, “It was the Nine Thousand Years who sent us.”
“The Nine Thousand Years said that Ye Qiu came to the Northwest to carry out a very important mission and asked Qinglong and I to come and help him.”
Kirin’s eyes searched the crowd and asked, “Where is Ye Qiu, why haven’t I seen him?”
“Ye Qiu he,” Tang Fei said as sadness appeared on his face, pointing to the yellow sand at his feet, “Ye Qiu is down there.”
“What did you say!”The Qilin’s face changed violently, its eyes sharp as knives, staring at Tang Fei with a deadly glare.
As for Qinglong, his originally expressionless face was even colder at this moment.
“Ye Qiu was buried under the yellow sand, his life and death are uncertain.”
Tang Fei said with red eyes, “He was already safe, but when he saw that two warriors were missing, he turned back again he was trying to rescue the two warriors, and that’s why he was buried under the yellow sand.”
“We’ve been searching for more than ten hours and we still haven’t found Ye Qiu, I’m only afraid that he.”
Bang!
Kirin suddenly kicked Tang Fei out a dozen metres, before roaring angrily, “As the Chief of Staff of the Underworld Palace, you actually can’t even protect your own brother, you piece of shit.”
“I’m going to kill you today.”
“Ah…”
