The sky has gradually shimmered, and the light rain is still falling.

Bai Yichen walked with difficulty on the muddy mountain path after the landslide.

There is no way. Just some places to get your feet on.

But every time you step down, you must bring up a pile of mud and stick it tightly to your shoes.

Every foot is to pull out the foot vigorously in the mud, and then find a place to repeat this action.

Every time you step, you have to consider whether the place in front of you can bear the weight of own, and whether it will collapse suddenly.

The raincoat had been scratched by the branches long ago, and it was useless. Bai Yichen simply took off the torn raincoat and threw it aside.

After thinking about it, he tidied up the raincoat thrown in the mud and made it into a road sign pointing upwards.

He wants to go to the highest part of the mountain, so that he can see the whole situation and maybe find everyone's traces.

All the way up the climb, Bai Yichen did not forget to call everyone's names from time to time.

But he got no response.

The torrential rain, flash floods and landslides at night scattered everyone.

At this moment, Bai Yichen didn't even know whether everyone ran away, or...

He didn't dare to think about that answer.

His clothes were completely soaked, and the rain curtain in front of him blurred his vision. While walking, you need to wipe the rainwater off your face with your hands to be able to see the way ahead.

After almost two hours, Bai Yichen finally reached the top of the mountain.

Looking down, you can see the filled riverbed and pass. The yellow and even reddish muddy water flows in a huge fan, with many branches and weeds curled up in it. Bai Yichen even saw the carcass of an unknown wild animal, heaving and falling in the flood.

Most of the mountain has been lost to landslides, becoming a longer, gentler slope.

Bai Yichen wanted to give himself a punch. When he saw this pass yesterday, he felt a little strange in his heart. The surrounding mountains are relatively steep. Why is there a pass sandwiched between two gentle slopes?

Now that I think about it, this gentle slope is just the trace left by the last landslide. Gradually, vegetation has grown out, making people mistake it for its own appearance.

Moreover, there will be heavy rain after the earthquake, which should have been thought of in advance. If I had thought more about it at that time, maybe it would not have happened.

Perhaps after this landslide, there will be lush vegetation growing here in a few years, and it will become a new look again. No one knows what happened here last night.

The nearby expressway has completely lost its track after the landslide, and it is impossible to find the direction.

Bai Yichen's eyes slowly looked a little farther away, and he could see that many mountains had landslides or collapsed in the aftershocks and heavy rains. Those places should have been covered with lush green vegetation, but now only some red spots are left. Soil or off-white rock.

It was raining heavily and it was foggy all around.

Bai Yichen wanted to find the shadow of the highway among the mountains, but he couldn't see it at all.

He shouted everyone's names hoarsely on the top of the mountain, but no one responded.

The shout was drowned out by the sound of rushing water below, and it couldn't be heard very far.

Bai Yichen's voice is already hoarse.

There was another aftershock, and I watched another piece of the land under my feet slide into the water below, exposing several pebbles.

Seeing the cobblestone, Bai Yichen suddenly had an idea.

He directly found a pebble slightly larger than his fist, and knocked on another larger pebble.

The crisp knocking sound resounded in the valley, farther and easier to be heard than Bai Yichen's shout.

The beating continued for four or five minutes, and a figure slowly climbed up from the slope not far away.

This person is also in a state of embarrassment.

The raincoat on his body was riddled with holes and covered with yellow mud. I am afraid that several catties of dirt were scraped off from a pair of feet.

Walking up to Bai Yichen, the embarrassed man took off the hat attached to the raincoat, revealing a handsome young face, and took a few breaths before shouting: "Brother Chen!"

Hearing these two words, Bai Yichen felt a little sour in his eyes for a moment.

Someone is alive! And found him!

Bai Yichen collected his emotions before asking in a hoarse voice, "It's just you? Where are the others?"

Ye Xin also said in a hoarse voice: "During the evacuation, I saw that Sister Yuqing and Zhou Feng didn't run this way, they went to the opposite side!"

Following Ye Xin's hand, he looked at the mountain opposite the pass. There was only a slight landslide on that mountain, and it was not serious.

Bai Yichen nodded: "Okay, they chose a good place! It should be fine! What about the others? Do you know?"

Ye Xin shook his head, looked down and saw Bai Yichen squatting there smashing stones, and immediately understood Bai Yichen's intentions.

He found it only after hearing the sound of Bai Yichen smashing stones.

Ye Xin also squatted down, took a stone and began to smash it.

The two squatted there silently, making no other movements other than the movement of smashing stones.

If Zhou Feng was here at this time, he would definitely say something coquettish and laugh at the actions of the two of them.

After smashing it for about ten minutes, Ye Xin felt a little sore in his wrist and stopped.

But Bai Yichen continued with the movements in his hands, and he didn't look tired at all.

Just as Ye Xin was about to persuade Bai Yichen to take a break, he heard a rhythmic knocking sound coming from the opposite side, and Ye Xin immediately understood the meaning of the knocking sound.

This is a game he often played with his friends when he was a child. The two of them used tapping to convey information, but they didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

Although it can only convey some very simple meanings, to Ye Xin's ears at this moment, it is simply more beautiful than a melody of nature, and it conveys more than a short classical Chinese essay.

Ye Xin immediately called out: "Brother Chen, stop for a moment, the other side is talking to us."

Originally, after Bai Yichen heard the knocking sound from the opposite side, he knocked several times excitedly. Hearing what Ye Xin said, he immediately stopped his movements.

He could also hear the rhythmic tapping on the opposite side, as if to convey something.

At the same time as Bai Yichen stopped, the sound of knocking on the opposite side also stopped.

Ye Xin quickly picked up the stone and knocked it intermittently several times.

After a few seconds, the other party sent a response, which was also intermittent.

Ye Xin tapped again, and the other side would respond in a few seconds.

After knocking back and forth several times in this way, Ye Xin put down the stone in his hand, and his solemn expression before had relaxed now.

"Brother Chen, they said they would walk straight ahead along the mountain, let's find a way to meet up ahead. They seem to be able to see a road on their side. I guess it's a highway or something."

Bai Yichen's expression also relaxed a little, and he replied hoarsely: "Okay! There is a way to meet up. By the way, you are sending messages in Morse code? I don't know if other people can hear it."

"When I was young, I loved to read books about detectives. It mentioned Morse code, so I learned a little bit. I unconsciously brought it in when I typed it just now, but I didn't expect that sister Yuqing on the opposite side would do it too. She immediately Responded."

Bai Yichen nodded slightly and did not speak again.
