I don't know how much time has passed, but the ground is getting noisier and noisier. There are waves of noisy footsteps and chaotic voices, as well as the roar of helicopters and the commands of loud speakers...

It's the rescue!

Xu Nuonuo was delighted, but she and Mu Ningchi had no objects that could make any sound, so she could only scream at the top of her lungs.

"Help! There are still people here!!!"

Perhaps because the surrounding environment was too chaotic and crowded, Xu Nuonuo's weak voice was drowned out before it could be heard out.

Mu Ningchi patted her on the back and said, "It's useless. Save your energy and wait until the rescuers get closer before calling for help."

Xu Nuonuo nodded and waited with bated breath. Suddenly, an extremely clear sound of a cell phone text message rang out in the darkness.

It’s Mu Ningchi’s cell phone.

It was about five to seven meters away from them.

If they could get a cell phone, they could get in touch with the outside world, but they were trapped in a corner and couldn't move. Even at such a close distance, hope was terribly slim.

The phone rang once and then there was no more sound.

Mu Ningchi knew that no matter who it was, no one would send it to him a second time.

The power stored in a mobile phone is especially important for trapped people. If the person who sent the message does not receive his reply, the rescue that belongs to him will arrive as soon as possible.

"Cat, Lee will be bringing people here soon. Just hold on for a day and we'll be fine."

"it is good."

The footsteps above their heads kept getting closer and farther away. In order to save energy, Xu Nuonuo and Mu Ningchi would call for help when they heard the noise and stop when they walked away.

Xu Nuonuo called for help by shouting for help continuously, while Mu Ningchi put his index finger into his mouth and made a sharp, long and very regular whistle.

The two took turns and persisted for a whole day, but no one discovered them.

It was obvious that even if Sibery had brought people over, they were not nearby.

It’s not that Si Baili was not ambitious, but the hotel where Mu Ningchi checked in and the B&B where he finally stayed were a long way apart.

While guarding against Bai Sihan, he was also guarding against his own people.

Without an exact location, even if Sperry was a god, there was no way to find him in such a short time.

But this rescue, which evolved from an individual to a group, is probably the greatest mission carried out after the establishment of Mu Ningchi's MG company.

Nearly 10,000 mercenaries, regular troops, and people who spontaneously organized rescue operations worked together, shuttling through this apocalyptic ruins.

Buildings throughout the city collapsed, streets cracked, and people's cries and screams mixed together. Everyone was racing against time and fighting against death.

At first, Si Bailey could still raise his eyebrows and joke with Chen Songwen with a relaxed expression, saying that after doing this good deed, he might be able to go to heaven after he died.

Later, as the number of people rescued in the hotel gradually increased, but none of them was Mu Ningchi, Si Bailey spoke less and less, and his expression became more and more gloomy.

After thinking for a while, he frowned, turned around and shouted at Aken.

"Are you sure Ning stayed here last night?"

Aken nodded, "This is the hotel where Chi Ge and Xu Nuonuo last registered their identities, there's no doubt about that."

Then, as if he had thought of something, Aken slapped his head in annoyance.

"No! I can find out, and the Bai family can find out too. Brother Chi will not live here."

Si Bailey's face suddenly changed. He held the microphone at the corner of his lips and shouted orders in a hoarse voice.

"Expand the search and rescue area! All personnel quickly spread out to ensure that the entire disaster area is covered. Do not stop! Do not sleep!! Rescue everyone you see and dig up every sound! If you find the boss, the commission will be doubled. If you can't find the boss, I will kill you all!!"

"roger!"

Chen Songwen, who had been standing nearby for a long time, could no longer stay there. He raised his hand, picked up an equipment bag from the table, and walked out with big strides with an expressionless face.

Si Bailey could see that although Chen Songwen showed no expression on his face, he must be so anxious that he wanted to go underground to find someone.

So he did not stop Chen Songwen. He grabbed his head and turned it around several times, then turned his gaze back to Aken's computer desktop.

"Is there no other information? Can Ning's phone be located?"

Aken looked up at Si Baili helplessly, "Who dares to install a location on Brother Chi's phone?"

After looking at each other for a second, Aken quickly switched the pages.

"Chi Ge's phone doesn't have it, but Xu Nuonuo's phone has it! In order to help you deal with 'An', Chi Ge specially installed it in her phone. With Chi Ge's overbearing and strong personality, I think this..."

The words stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Sibery patted Aken's shoulder fiercely, "Don't play dead, talk to me!!"

Aken sighed, "Brother Chi uninstalled the location in Xu Nuonuo's phone."

"Why? Why????"

Si Bailey couldn't figure it out.

"Ning loves my little niece so much that she takes her with her wherever she goes and wants to know where she is 24 hours a day. How could it be..."

Si Bailey was stunned.

Yesterday morning, he personally sent Amy on a flight to Xia Country, and the two deleted all contact information with each other.

Although he was reluctant, he still respected Amy's choice. He knew that Amy had trapped herself in a castle called self-blame and she couldn't get out.

So he gave her freedom and let time heal everything until the day she figured it out.

"See you again, Lee. I love you."

She loved him, that was enough...

Si Bailey and Mu Ningchi were brothers in distress, and they had a tacit understanding after all. He probably understood Mu Ningchi's thoughts, so he didn't continue talking. He turned around with a sullen face and continued to give orders.

"The members of the Silver Fox team led the team to directly lock the search range to all inns, guest houses, and hotels that do not require identity registration... all!"

"roger."

Under the ruins, Mu Ningchi and Xu Nuonuo, who were trapped in the darkness, began to lose body temperature and strength rapidly.

By the end, both of their voices were hoarse as if they had swallowed several tons of cement!

Xu Nuonuo was the first one who couldn't hold on. She always fell into a deep sleep and woke up in a daze.

Time seemed to be so long that it seemed to have been paused. Trapped in this small and cramped space with them, they could not feel the flow of time at all.

However, the sounds of countless cries and requests for help still lingered in my ears, interspersed with the muffled sound of metal hitting walls or pipes, and several whistles of varying lengths.

"Ning, how long has it been?"

"Almost three days."

Xu Nuonuo licked his cracked lips, and his throat was sore as if it had been cut by a sharp knife.

She was hungry, thirsty, dizzy, and her originally heavy body began to feel light.

Mu Ningchi in front of him was not in much better condition. The movement of bending over and supporting the wall seemed to be getting more and more difficult. His breathing became rapid, and his hot breath sprayed on Xu Nuonuo's face one after another.

Xu Nuonuo could feel the fine beads of sweat oozing from Mu Ningchi's body. His strong arms seemed to be thinner and were shaking violently in the dark, but she could not see anything.

"Ning..."

Xu Nuonuo spoke softly tentatively, but the ground began to shake again, causing her heart to sink suddenly.

It's an aftershock.

Mu Ningchi's reaction was much faster than Xu Nuonuo's. Xu Nuonuo had just come to her senses when she saw that the pillow that she had thrown somewhere had been found by Mu Ningchi and placed on top of her head again.

Then there was an extremely clear and terrifying breaking sound, and Mu Ningchi's suppressed groan.

Indistinct smoke and dust rolled in, filling Xu Nuonuo's nostrils.

She covered her nose and coughed violently a few times, then fumbled to hug Mu Ningchi again, but she didn't know where she touched him, and a stream of warm water flowed in the palm of her hand.

No, not water!
