Chapter 524: Survivor
Boss Xue grabbed Zhu Yunmo, and he stood up in a hurry, stepping on the cloak. If Boss Xue hadn't pulled him, he would have almost pounced on the edge of the vine basket.
After such trouble, Zhu Yunmo lost all sleepiness. He quickly held the edge of the vine basket with both hands and looked down.
The mountain was already at your feet, with mud, sand and stones in the valley, and trees all over the place, and large areas of red clay and stones on the mountain were exposed.
Looking at these situations, Zhu Yunmo's face became even more nervous.
"Zhou Heng, do we want to go down and search?"
Zhou Heng shook his head, "This Maya Mountain runs for dozens of miles. If it is too slow to go down and find a place to go around here first. The speed is slower. Try to search for the traces of the people and horses, and find a camping place before dark."
Zhu Yunmo knew that Zhou Heng's words must be the most reasonable, and he had no objection. He reached out to take out a telescope on his body and began to look down.
The flying ball's speed dropped at this time, only 20 to 30 meters away from the top of the mountain. It was like this along the middle of the valley and heading towards the west.
The search was long, and the flying balls slowly entered the valley one by one. Zhou Heng counted them when he turned around, and he let down his worry a little. The flying balls were all silver. If they were lost, they would pay for it out of their own pocket. After all, this thing was not handed over and had not been shown to the old emperor.
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhu Yunmo felt that his eyes were hurting and he closed his eyes hard.
Suddenly, Boss Xue slapped the edge of the vine basket and pointed in one direction and shouted:
"Look, is there something there?"
Following the direction of Boss Xue's finger, several people looked over. On the side of the hillside, there was a faint path on the edge of the cliff, with several horses walking around at will. There was no one next to them, but there was a saddle on the horse and one had something on its back.
"There are three horses, Brother Xue is lowering a little, let's take a closer look."
Boss Xue lowered the blowtorch again, paused for a while and then began to descend. It became clearer that there were indeed three horses there, and there were many footprints around, but no one, not one.
Zhu Yunmo was a little anxious and stuck his body out. Boss Xue pulled his belt. This movement was too dangerous. As long as the vine basket flashed, it would easily fall.
"Be careful, this is just three horses, and there is no one."
Zhu Yunmo slapped Boss Xue's restraint and frowned.
"The war horses here in Datong have special signs on them. I want to see if they are the horses of the father and the others."
Zhou Heng held up the telescope and did not obstruct Zhu Yunmo. He was concerned about it now, but Zhou Heng could not be confused. Below the horse was a landslide cliff. The soil was loose, and there were already a large crack near the top of the mountain. Judging from the location, these horses seemed to have escaped from the valley.
Since horses can escape, people can do it, especially with Pang Xiao beside King Ning, Zhou Heng naturally knew about his kung fu. I dare not say anything else, but I can still protect King Ning Zhouquan.
The flying ball continued to move forward, and Zhou Heng looked downward. The mud and sand mixed with stones and broken trees were constantly wrapped and rolled. Although the speed was not fast, the area was too wide.
Apart from these, there is no trace of it.
"Yao Blacksmith gives some help. We have to walk forward. It seems that this is the lower reaches of the valley. King Ning came to patrol. He should have walked along the checkpoints at all the borders. Even if he passed by this place, he would not go directly to the bottom of the valley."
After hearing what Zhou Heng said, Yao Blacksmith quickly started to pedal. Zhu Yunmo glanced at Zhou Heng and did not go on any further arrangements.
Bypassing this mountain, the glance in front of people was shocked. In front of them, there was a huge rock blocking here at the corner of the valley, and a dammed lake formed above. Although the water surface was not large, there were still stones, sand and soil on both sides.
Zhu Yunmo was anxious when he saw that having water meant that the chance of survival was smaller. He turned to look at Zhou Heng, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhou Heng pointing at a face with excitement.
"Speed up to the south quickly, there are people there!"
Yao Blacksmith quickly kicked hard, and there was almost no wind when the flying ball entered the valley. The speed of the flying ball also dropped sharply, so he could only pedal quickly.
Everyone looked at the place where Zhou Heng pointed, and there were indeed more than a dozen people on a huge rock.
Looking at the clothes, I knew it was Datong. When I saw Feiqiu, everyone looked shocked on their faces. They stood on the stone and looked at this side. Two even pointed their bows and arrows at Feiqiu.
When Boss Xue saw it, Mou yelled with all his strength:
"Are you the guards of King Ning?"
The people looked at each other and then replied:
"Yes, who are you?"
Zhu Yunmo quickly reached the side and waved his hand vigorously. At this time, it was only more than twenty meters away from them, and Yao Blacksmith also stopped.
"I am Prince Ning, and I am here to rescue me. Where is my father?"
When the people heard this, they all stood up, their faces full of excitement, and two injured people waved their hands hard.
"We don't know either, but they should be on the west side, we are the last position in the team."
Zhou Heng patted Boss Xue and found a backpack with dry food and water bags. Although there were not many, there was something in this way, and it was just hope of life. After all, it was impossible to leave here for the time being.
"We need to go forward by throwing this bag to them. Only by finding out the situation can we find a way to rescue them, otherwise it will become dark and we will be able to do nothing."
Zhu Yunmo didn't say anything, and Boss Xue took the backpack over and shouted at the people:
"I'll throw the dry food and water for you. You lean against the rocks and be careful of the falling rocks above. Let's check the situation first, and then come back to rescue. Do you understand?"
As he said that, he threw his backpack over with force. A soldier was smart and reached out to catch it. However, the flying ball was already very high from the ground, and Boss Xue used a lot of strength. The man plopped and sat on the ground.
Then these people knelt on one knee, "We have nothing to do, go and see King Ning and the others!"
"How many people are you going on this trip? Did Xiao Bo come out with King Ning?"
Zhou Heng asked anxiously, after all, the flying ball could not really hover, and it had already floated forward while speaking, so at least it had to know some information.
A soldier shouted quickly: "Our party, one thousand people came out at noon yesterday. When we encountered heavy rain on the road, we were about to walk from the valley to the top of the mountain. Then we felt our feet shaking, and then a mountain collapse occurred. Everyone ran away. We don't know who Xiao Bo is."
Zhou Heng waved to them, "Don't be anxious, bear it tonight, a large number of people behind us will arrive soon."
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yunmo. He was less worried when he could see survivors, at least King Ning had hope of life.
"You can't hurry, Zhou Heng is right. If we get lost now, no one will save our father."
Zhou Heng patted his shoulder, and he knew that Zhu Yunmo was patient, and this was the most tormenting time.
"It's a good thing to see people. When we open the fire, we continue searching forward. Boss Xue marks the drawings and sends people to rescue them later."
As the command was given, the flying ball continued to move forward and turned the corner. The front was wider, and the area of the dam below increased. The water was turbid mud, and the sides of the mountain were loose soil, and there was no green vegetation at all.
It seems that the situation here is even more serious. Zhou Heng is not in a hurry. King Ning is a man of many battles. According to the man's words, he initially found the ground shaking, which means that the earthquake was here, and it was just riding on a horse. The heavy rain was very heavy, so people didn't pay special attention.
Earthquakes, landslides, heavy rains, mudslides, and these things are the most terrifying, because the result of this superposition is not just the people here.
When he was approaching the valley, Zhou Heng looked carefully. The foot of the mountain was full of fertile fields, and there were many villages not far away. If this was vented, not only would the farmland be destroyed, but wouldn't the villagers here suffer?
There is also Datong. I don’t know if the city of Datong was affected by the earthquake, so Zhou Heng’s concerns increased a little.
The dark clouds blocked the sunset, and I felt extremely dark in an instant.
At this moment, Boss Xue pointed at a place and shouted:
