The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 192

“Stay and host. I'll be back first.”

Jun Shiling stood up from his seat and did not even have time to speak. After asking Bo Xiao to remain as the host, he walked out of the meeting room.

Jun Shiling turned on his phone. There were 20 missed calls from the manor.

Jun Shiling's gaze was cold as he called out. 

"Uncle Wang, what's wrong?"

Uncle Wang told Jun Shiling about Xia Wanyuan's situation in Lin Xi City and the news report.

"All right I understand. I'll be right back." Jun Shiling's tone was calm, but his hand holding the phone had already paled due to excessive force.

Jun Shiling tried his best to calm down. Within half an hour from underground to the outside, Jun Shiling made twenty calls.

As soon as they came out from underground, the helicopter that had been arranged long ago sent Jun Shiling to the nearest airport.

"Zeus, the storm is in position." As the helicopter landed, a senior official in uniform walked towards Jun Shiling.

"Mm," Jun Shiling replied gently. 

Facing the loud sounds of the machine, he rode on the sleeping Hurricane like a beast.

As the world's most advanced non-civilian aircraft, the Hurricane's supersonic speed can instantly shorten the flight time from fourteen hours to three hours.

That night, when most people were asleep, the Storm tore through the night sky like a fierce tiger.

After greeting everyone earlier, the Storm took off from State F and flew directly to China. Three hours later, the Storm arrived in Lin Xi City within the shortest possible distance.

In China, they have received orders from their superiors. In the military district around Lin Xi City, helicopters and large trucks continued to be deployed. Cars came from all directions, pressing down the road into Lin Xi City until it was impenetrable.

The loud sonic boom created by the Storm's supersonic speed broke the silence at night, but no one had the time to care where the sound came from. There are cries everywhere.

With the arrival of the Storm, hundreds of helicopters hovered over Lin Xi City, waiting for Jun Shiling's orders. Not far away, the personnel who trudged along the road came with big lights.

The city, which was initially dark due to power outages and water loss, was lit by so many lights.

"Digest. Even if we have to open the mountain, we have to find it.” Jun Shiling walked out of the cabin door and stood proudly, looking cold in the darkness.

With Jun Shiling's instructions, everyone started to move and methodically carried out rescue work. Many people trapped in the flood were rescued.

Everyone was placed in a new tent.

Dawn came and the sun rose. Lin Xi's City Management arrived on the scene at that moment. The notice they received was to arrive at six o'clock. They did not expect that when they arrived at six o'clock, a rescue area was already built.

"Young Master, we still haven't found him." Lin Jing rushed to Lin Xi City that night as well. Every time they saved a group of people, Lin Jing had to verify it. Unfortunately, the results every time were very disappointing.

“Continue search.” Jun Shiling's face was expressionless, and his voice, which had been silent all night, was a little hoarse.

"Understood."

The search is done in an orderly manner, but the anxiety in everyone's heart grows as time goes by.

A full day has passed. With the transfer of another 3,000 people to help, all the flooding has been emptied. Basically, all those who were not buried were saved and resettled well.

The signal base station had been completely repaired, but unfortunately, after repeated calls, Xia Wanyuan's phone always replied with "Not within the service area".

“Young Master, eat first. It's been a day last night.” Lin Jing brought a lunch box.

"Yes, it's day and night." Jun Shiling's heavy voice sounded. “Take it. Did you know it?”

“Shen Qian said that Madam might go to check the limestone cave. We have already found its location and are currently doing our best to dig, but since the mountain is complicated, it may take some time.”

"understand. Go." Jun Shiling waved his hand. Lin Jing wanted to say something, but in the end, she closed her mouth.

***

The temperature inside the cave was much lower than outside. Moreover, Xia Wanyuan had not eaten all day, so she was cold. Xuan Sheng took off his coat and covered Xia Wanyuan.

"Thank you." Xia Wanyuan smiled and wrapped herself tighter. He could feel that his body was starting to draw out its energy.

"No, they will find us" Xia Wanyuan whispered.

"Why did you just save me?" Xuan Sheng's gaze landed on Xia Wanyuan's swollen leg as she was not treated in time. The smile in his eyes disappeared.

"There's no excuse. Do I have to see you crushed to death? ” Xia Wanyuan did not think too much about it. If it was someone else, he would help as well.

However, Xuan Sheng smiled. Red eyes. 

“I've heard similar sentences in the past. However, what he said was that there was no reason, I just wanted to see you die.”

Xia Wanyuan knew something was wrong with Xuan Sheng's tone. He suddenly looked up, but Xuan Sheng's expression had already returned to normal. He looked at Xia Wanyuan's face with familiar evil. 

"Sleep for a while and save your strength."

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. He leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes.

After Xia Wanyuan closed her eyes, Xuan Sheng looked at her deeply and lowered his eyes. It is unknown what he was thinking.

Two days passed.

Basically, all the victims had been properly placed in the designated location, but Xia Wanyuan was still nowhere to be found.

Half of the mountain where the cave was located had been excavated, but the strange thing was that there was no aura at all.

"Digest all the mountains in the area and keep sending more people." Jun Shiling looked at the mountain range before him calmly, but his hands clenched tightly.

"Yes." Yeah." A collection of helicopters, excavators, and heavy equipment were constantly transported, digging through the mountains continuously day and night.

After not eating or drinking for three days and three nights, in addition to the temperature inside the cold cave, the wound on his leg was not properly treated and was constantly inflamed and swollen.

Xia Wanyuan's stamina decreased very quickly. This body had been pampered since he was young. In the manor, Jun Shiling had taken care of him in every possible way. Xia Wanyuan's empty stomach caused her to feel dizzy and she woke up in a daze.

For the past three days, he had basically slept on the stone wall after opening his eyes to talk to Xuan Sheng. He wanted to conserve his strength to the fullest, but without the energy to recharge, his body would constantly become weak no matter how much he saved.

On the fourth day, the rescue team continued to move forward.

Jun Shiling had not eaten for four days and had always taken a short nap. He stood at the top of the mountain and looked at the stone ground below. Even the Old Master could not persuade him.

As time passed second by second, the night gradually approached. The weather was still bright during the day suddenly blew and the storm began.

“Young Master, come back first. Here heavy rain.” Lin Jing came with an umbrella, but it couldn't stop the strong winds and heavy rain.

“I want to accompany him.” Jun Shiling did not turn around but stared intently at the mountain below, his voice slightly hoarse.

Rain fell on his face, and the corners of his eyes were red.

The wound on his leg had not been treated for a long time. Moreover, she had not eaten for four days, so Xia Wanyuan's immunity decreased rapidly. Xuan Sheng was still in a daze when he heard Xia Wanyuan shout softly.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Sheng bowed and asked. He saw Xia Wanyuan whispering.

Xuan Sheng leaned closer and heard Xia Wanyuan calling out softly, "Jun Shiling."

Xuan Sheng stopped, but then he realized something was wrong with Xia Wanyuan. He reached out his hand and touched Xia Wanyuan's forehead. That was so hot.

Xuan Sheng pulled Xia Wanyuan into his arms and called out to her. Then, he realized that Xia Wanyuan had lost consciousness. He had not eaten a single grain of rice in four days. Xia Wanyuan's lips were already dry and chapped.

Xuan Sheng knew that Xia Wanyuan was dehydrated.

Looking at Xia Wanyuan deeply, Xuan Sheng reached out and bit the wound on his wrist. Blood immediately gushed out and he brought his wrist to Xia Wanyuan's mouth. Sensing the moist liquid flowing down the side of her mouth, Xia Wanyuan subconsciously opened her mouth to swallow it.

After sending more people over and over again, despite the storm, the rescue mission continued to advance quickly. Finally, after moving nearly half of the mountain rock, the detector detected a weak signal deep within the mountain.
