Chapter 166 Finding a single person

"Okay, let's go together!"

The crowd nodded.

Except for the Yangtao sisters and the older Uncle Ge who were left behind together, everyone climbed up the stone wall and walked to the mining area to find people.

Although I'm not sure if those two groups of people are in this area, I still have to look for them anyway, so that more people can survive, which is the most important thing right now.

Passing by the coal mining area that Shi Miao once walked through, the people were divided into two groups again, with Shi Miao leading Gu Ao, and the rest spread out to search. Cheetah and Ari Jinjin still followed Gu Tianjiao and the others.

After walking for another half an hour, the Neptune slowly opened its mouth: "Master, although it is not the right time, I still have some good news to tell you, 30 meters from your right hand at two o'clock, I detected There seems to be rock salt ten meters below the ground, maybe in the future you can consider finding a way to mine the rock salt, so you don’t have to go to the seaside to dry the salt in the future.”

Shi Miao frowned, a little surprised to hear the voice of the Sea King.

It was a surprise.

I really wanted to plant flowers and flowers, but unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade. When I was digging, I deliberately found the rock salt for so long, but there was no trace of it. I didn’t expect to come out to save people and do good deeds today.

It seems that the saying that a good man is rewarded is indeed true.

Shi Miao randomly found a few stones and piled them up at the rock salt location to mark it, and then continued to search deeper.

"Sister Shi Miao, why are you putting stones there?"

Seeing Shi Miao's actions, Gu Ao looked at Shi Miao with some puzzlement and slowly opened his mouth.

"There is rock salt underground there. When spring comes next year, we will come to mine after the props are ready, and then we will no longer have to go to the seaside to dry salt."

Shi Miao didn't intend to be busy with Gu Ao either.

When Gu Ao was by her side, she didn't have to worry about anything about herself being exposed.

"That's it! That's really good news!"

Gu Ao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Rock salt has been mentioned before, but unfortunately they have not been able to find the existence of rock salt.

"Well, come on, let's continue to find someone to look at."

Shi Miao nodded with a light smile.

In fact, she doesn't have much confidence in the matter of finding someone. After all, the sky and the earth are vast, and there are many similar landscapes. It is really not easy to really find someone again.

After leaving, Shi Miao took Gu Ao for more than two hours.

The sun has started to set slowly, and the sky is starting to get a little dark.

"Sister Shi Miao, should we continue to look for it?"

Looking around for a long time, I couldn't find even a trace of someone coming nearby, Gu Ao couldn't help but began to have the idea of ​​giving up.

"Look for another half an hour, if we can't find us, we will go back."

Shi Miao frowned lightly and said.

In fact, there was a faint thought of giving up in her heart.

After walking such a long distance, the place they are in has become more and more barren, except for the bare mounds and boulders, there is more and more loess under their feet.

Coming here means that they are now close to the edge of the desert. If they still can't find anyone in the desert, Shi Miao is ready to give up completely.

During this day, they have worked hard, but it is good to have a clear conscience.

"Master, 15 meters ahead on the left, a snake bone and a fire that has been cold for an unknown amount of time were detected. Someone must have been here."

Finally, after walking for more than ten minutes, the voice of the Neptune entered Shi Miao's mind again.

This news shocked Shi Miao immediately.

If the fire and snake bones are found, it means that someone should have been here, and maybe one or more people can be found.

"anyone there?"

Walking to the fire, the Sea King identified that the fire was burned three days ago, and the joy in his eyes faded slightly.

I don't know if I can still find it.

"It looks like we've found the right place!"

Gu Ao looked at the fire under his feet, and the skeleton that was thrown aside, and couldn't help but chuckled.

It's just that Shi Miao yelled, but no one around responded, but a faint echo came from a distance.

At any rate, there were some discoveries, and then under the careful detection of the Neptune, Shi Miao began to lead Gu Ao around to find people according to the clues found by the Neptune.A few minutes later, a strange stone cave appeared in front of Shi Miao and Gu Ao.

The Neptune opened its mouth again, and after confirming that all traces had completely disappeared here, Shi Miao yelled at the cave: "Is there anyone inside?"

There was an echo again, but after a few seconds, there was still no one answering, and there was indeed no one within 30 meters of the Neptune's detection, Shi Miao couldn't help but have a trace of regret in her eyes.

"Sister Shi Miao, shall we go in and look for it?"

Seeing that no one responded, Gu Ao looked at Shi Miao and said.

They agreed to look for another half an hour, and now almost half an hour has passed, and if no one can be found, it is time to go back.

"I consider……",

Before Shi Miao finished speaking, an unexpected voice came from the right rear: "Hey! Is it a resident of Shuilanxing?"

Hearing this voice, Shi Miao and Gu Ao turned their heads together.

I saw a man in an animal fur coat holding a bundle of dry firewood in his hands. His body was pitch black, but his white front teeth were exposed.

"Well, the weather is going to be getting colder every day. I have a watch here that can see the barrage in the Shuilanxing live broadcast room. Everyone told us that after a heavy snowfall last night, there are only about a thousand people left in Xinxing , in order to allow more people to survive, so we came out to see if there is anyone who needs our rescue and take them back together. Are you living here alone? It seems that you are living well, and you want to go back and spend the winter with us ?"

Looking at the man in front of him, although the corners of his mouth are dry and flaky, and he is a little thin, overall he is in good spirits, and he should be living well here, Shi Miao said with a soft smile.

For this kind of person who can live well here on his own, she naturally wouldn't force them to leave with her, so she asked softly.

"You...do you have a lot of people living with you? I only have one person."

The man held the dry firewood in one hand and scratched the back of his head with the other, with a shy smile in his eyes.

"There are eight people in our team, and five people were rescued today. Now there is a girl who is relatively weak, so she lives with us first, and the others live in the cave near us."

Shi Miao continued to speak patiently.

"Is it easy to live there? Is there a lot to eat? Recently, there are fewer and fewer lizards and snakes here, and it's hard for me to fill my stomach. It's just that I'm a road idiot, and this cave is relatively deep. It’s warmer, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to find it after leaving here, so I didn’t dare to leave until there was no place to rest.”
