In the basement.
Bai Bing was cowering in the corner, her hands clasped around her knees, both helpless and desperate.
Ever since Bai Yujing had tricked her back to the capital, she had been placed under house arrest, and had taken away her mobile phone, cutting off her contact with the outside world.
Bai Bing had tried to fight back by committing suicide several times, but to her surprise, Bai Yujing had ordered someone to bring her here.
There was nothing but a bed in this room, and the walls were specially made so that you couldn’t even die by crashing into them.
These, were not what made Bai Bing the most desperate.
What made her most desperate was the news of Ye Qiu’s death.
Although she didn’t believe Bai Yujing’s words, she could sense that this time, Bai Yujing hadn’t lied to her.
“Could it be that he really died?”
“How is this possible?”
Bai Bing couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to believe it, but the more this happened, the more uneasy her heart became.
She only hated the fact that she couldn’t go out or contact the outside world right now, otherwise, she would be able to know Ye Qiu’s situation.
After a while, a miserable and desperate smile appeared on Bai Bing’s face.
“Ye Qiu, in this life, I’m determined to you.”
“Don’t worry, I will never marry Pei Jie.”
“If you die, then I’ll go to the netherworld to accompany you.”
Northwest, Gobi Beach.
The search and rescue continued.
On the side of the deep pit, an old man wearing a military uniform with three gold stars on his shoulder, holding a telescope, was paying attention to the search and rescue situation inside the deep pit.
He, the commander of the Northwest Military Region – Admiral Long Haisheng.
Beside Long Haisheng, there was a large group of people surrounding him, each carrying a gold star or two gold stars on their shoulders.
These people, were the top brass of the Northwest Military Region.
A warrior trotted to Long Haisheng’s side, stood upright with both feet, gave a military salute, and shouted, “Report!”
“I asked you to call Tang Fei here, why didn’t he come?”Long Haisheng asked.
The warrior replied, “Chief of Staff Tang said that he doesn’t have time to see you, he wants to rescue his brother.”
“Where’s Long Night?”
“Long Lieutenant said that the person buried under the yellow sand is his rescuer, he has no time to see you.”
Long Haisheng frowned slightly and turned his head to ask a middle-aged man beside him, “Old Huang, you’re an engineer by trade, tell me, with the current speed of the Special Warfare Company, how long will it take to finish excavating the yellow sand in the deep pit?”
Old Huang said, “I walked around the deep pit earlier, and did meticulous calculations, with the Special Warfare Company’s current manpower and digging equipment, it is estimated that it will take a month to finish digging the yellow sand.”
“What? It will take a month?”Long Haisheng was filled with surprise.
Old Huang smiled bitterly and said, “One month is still very conservative, if there is a landslide underneath the deep pit, or if there are any other special geographical circumstances, it will only take longer.”
Long Haisheng’s heart sank.
Even if Ye Qiu was still alive, could he last a month?
Of course, Ye Qiu might not be buried at the very bottom of the yellow sand, and perhaps if he dug a little longer, he would be able to find Ye Qiu, but Long Haisheng didn’t dare to take the risk.
For the sake of this matter, the Military God had ordered him to find Ye Qiu at all costs, to live and die.
“If I send an engineering corps over to help, how long will it take?”Long Haisheng asked.
Old Huang said, “If there is a corps of engineers, then the time can be advanced quite a bit, around ten days!”
Long Haisheng frowned again, “Ten days is a bit long, isn’t it?”
Lao Huang said, “Commander, the terrain of the Gobi Beach is already complicated and the weather is harsh, if there is extreme weather such as tornadoes or sandstorms, then it will affect the digging progress, ten days is already not slow.”
“The Military God gave me an order to find Ye Qiu as fast as possible at all costs.”Long Haisheng said, “Old Huang, you bring an engineering corps to help them, let me know anytime you need any more support.”
“I only have one request.”
“That is, in a maximum of seven days, Ye Qiu must be found.”
“Do you, have the confidence to complete the mission?”
Old Huang quickly stood upright with both feet, gave Long Haisheng a military salute, and shouted, “Please rest assured Comrade Commander, I guarantee to complete the mission.”
“Very good.”Long Haisheng nodded slightly and asked the warrior again, “I heard that the warriors of the special operations company have not eaten until now?”
The warrior replied, “From the beginning of the accident until now, nearly twenty hours have passed, they have not taken in a drop of water or a drop of rice, and have been searching for Ye Qiu.”
“It’s not easy, let’s go, let’s go see them.”After Long Haisheng finished speaking, he led a group of generals and walked towards the deep pit.
At the same time.
Nearly three hundred metres below the deep pit, in a crack, the unconscious Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyelids.
The vision was blurred.
Head drowsy.
Throat dry.
His body was like falling apart.
Ye Qiu used all his strength to try to make his vision clearer, however, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
“Where is this?”
“Am I dead?”
Ye Qiu shook his head vigorously and tried to sit up, but just as he moved, a sharp pain came from his leg.
Broken bones!
“Hiss-” Ye Qiu sucked in cold air in pain.
He rolled over with difficulty and used his left hand to support the ground, wanting to climb up, when another fiery pain came from his back.
Reaching out to touch it, his hand was sticky.
Although Ye Qiu couldn’t see it, he could smell it through the smell, it was blood.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and slowly sat up, then, raised his head to look forward.
Still couldn’t see anything, it was too dark here.
Ye Qiu immediately opened his Heavenly Eyes, and in an instant, the situation in a twenty-metre radius was clear.
It was a canyon, very narrow, less than a metre wide.
What surprised Ye Qiu the most was that in the middle of the canyon, there was actually a path paved with green stones that stretched forward.
Because of the limited sight distance of the Heavenly Eyes, he couldn’t see where exactly this pathway led to.
Ye Qiu looked up again.
Above the canyon were some rocks and some cracks, and from time to time, yellow sand spilled down from above.
“By the looks of it, it doesn’t look like this place is a netherworld and I’m still alive.”
Ye Qiu muttered, “I also wonder how Tang Fei and the others are doing? Are all still alive?”
“Forget it, forget about them, heal your wounds first.”
Ye Qiu immediately drew a talisman.
He had multiple injuries on his body, and it took him almost two hours to heal his injuries.
“Luckily I know the Maoshan Talisman, otherwise I would be dead.”
Ye Qiu stood up from the ground, his eyes fixed on the verdant stone paved path, then, without hesitation, he stepped over.
The verdant stone pathway curved and turned, never seeing an end.
Ye Qiu kept walking for half an hour, and finally, a thick stone door appeared in front of him.
As far as the eye could see, the stone door was about three metres wide and nine metres high.
“What is this place?”
Ye Qiu felt puzzled, and just then, he noticed that next to the stone door, there was also a stone tablet standing.
Perhaps due to the fact that it had been too long, the stone tablet was already mottled and stained with thick dust and yellow sand, and words could be vaguely seen engraved on it.
Ye Qiu hurriedly wiped the stone monument with his hand, and soon, four large dark red characters appeared in front of his eyes:
“Death to Trespassers!”
