Chapter 1357: The Story of Ling and Heng (620)
Feng Ling drove alone to the river near where Li Nanheng disappeared.
This area was no longer part of the city, but was even more chaotic than the city.
Feng Ling drove the arrow and kept charging forward. However, the loud sound of an explosion came from behind and shook the earth. It was even louder than what she experienced in the city.
A huge force came and almost overturned her car.
Her ears were ringing and her eardrums were hurting. Feng Ling’s hands were still holding the steering wheel steadily and she quickly escaped.
This area was not as isolated as the city area. There were broken walls everywhere, and the loud explosion just now was from a plane that had fallen out of nowhere. This should be the area where the explosion occurred because the ground here was no longer yellow soil but charred black. There was even a strange thing mixed in the black, as if some chemical had condensed in the air and fell on the hot ground, condensing into tiny gray-green ice crystals.
Seeing the dark land, Feng Ling abruptly stopped the car and got out to carefully examine the things. She then checked all the suspicious existences in the area. When she approached the river, she saw that the place where the weeds should have grown was now completely dark and bare. She gently touched it with her feet, and the charred things fell into the river.
She turned back, picked up a stone, and threw it into the river. After checking the depth of the water, Feng Ling turned her eyes to the direction of the waterfall they were talking about.
The people from the base had come to rescue them before. It was impossible for the base to give up any possibility of survival for K and Li Nanheng. The results were the same. They couldn’t find any traces of them. The final conclusion was that when the chemicals exploded, those chemicals might have corrosive effects, and it was so hot here that anything could have happened.
Perhaps after searching for so many days, they had only found two rotten bodies. Besides, if they really fell into the river, they would fall into a very ancient jungle along the downstream waterfall. That kind of ancient jungle was not something an ordinary person could enter. There were all kinds of rare and strange walking animals. This kind of jungle was not a place where one could survive just by learning a bit of survival skills in the wild. Not to mention walking animals everywhere, even those messy man-eating flowers could be found. There were all sorts of poisonous plants on the ground at any time. When one saw blood, they would die.
In the case of Boss Li and K, even if they were lucky enough to survive falling from the waterfall, it was impossible for them to survive in the jungle.
Initially, the people in the base had been searching frantically. However, they gradually had no choice but to face reality. They had no choice but to withdraw all of their combat power in order to avoid more casualties. According to Lin Cheng and Tam, this process lasted about four or five days.
Four or five days.
Injured, ancient jungle.
The chance of survival had dropped from 1% to 0.1%.
However, there was a strong urge within Feng Ling.
How could a man like him die so easily? How could he disappear from this world?
He was still alive.
Li Nanheng must be waiting for her somewhere.
After taking a look at all the charred areas on the ground, Feng Ling used a cut bottle of mineral water to carry some of the dirt away. She placed it in the car and drove down.
In the meantime, Tam called her and asked if she was safe. After giving her a few reminders, they continued to split into three groups.
The downstream was actually not very close to the site of the accident, especially since the roads on both sides of the river were not suitable for normal vehicles. Even if they were driving an off-road vehicle, this road was bumpy and difficult. When they arrived at the waterfall, the sky had already darkened.
Feng Ling got out of the car, looked around, and then looked down. It was indeed a jungle with no end in sight. It seemed that aside from going down from the waterfall, there was no other way to connect. After all, she didn’t know where the other side of the jungle was, nor did she know which direction to take.
The night was long. Although Israel was a war country with smoke everywhere, the night sky here was still clean, and stars flickered.
Feng Ling took out a bottle of water and a bag of biscuits from the car, sat by the waterfall, took a few bites, and then stood up. She patted the biscuit crumbs on her hand and was about to go to the car to put on a coat. At this moment, from the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw that in the dense jungle under the waterfall, there was actually a meandering river that extended into the distance. She might not be able to see it in the day, but here, under the moonlight, she could see some faint shadows from the river through the gaps between the leaves.
If there wasn’t a spring under the waterfall but a river outside the jungle, they wouldn’t have fallen into the jungle.
When the people from the base came to look for them, they stopped when they reached this place, and because this was a jungle, it ended here.
But what if they didn’t stop here but were forced out?
Feng Ling quickly got back into the car and searched for the topographic map on the GPS in the car. Typically, the geographical location displayed on the GPS was an important area. For an ancient jungle like this, only one location would be marked. However, the river here was not marked, nor was there a river, but at least one could see the other end of the jungle.
At the end of the map, there was a small patch of blue, and at the end of the blue, it was the Gorkin Farm where Atafira was.
After setting her target there, Feng Ling slammed the car door shut and found the route to the Gorkin Farm. She found that she could only walk along the desert on both sides of the waterway. The road was dangerous and there was likely no signal.
She drove to the nearest signal station in the vicinity, prepared some water and food, and bought two power bankers and signal strengthening devices. Then she resolutely headed to Gorkin.
In the middle of the night, she drove along the two sides of the road and searched for information about Gorkin Farm, but she couldn’t find anything.
There was a farm whose name was displayed on the map, but no specific information could be found.
Feng Ling did not hesitate to continue driving.
No matter what, even if Li Nanheng was not there, even if they had to go to other places to search, as long as there was a chance, they could not miss it.
