Chapter 227 The Great River
Beneath the desert.

Plop!
Shi Xia burst into wild laughter, looking up at the sand chasing after her.

"Come on! Try again!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Pfft!"

Summer fell into the water.

Her depleted supernatural abilities were quickly replenished, and the rushing underground river carried her away.

The exposed wounds were painful yet numb, and as the supernatural power flowed throughout her body, it also nourished the emaciated Shi Xia.

In the river, Shi Xia didn't know how much time had passed before the turbulent waters slowed down, and she entered a pool.

Shi Xia didn't come out. She sat cross-legged underwater with her hair disheveled, looking like a... female ghost.

There is no aesthetic appeal.

A person who had been buried in sand for more than ten days without food was able to endure it entirely because her water supply was not cut off, but the hunger was very real.

At this time, she was so thin that her bones were protruding.

"Wow!"

Shi Xia emerged from the water and swam towards the shore.

In the pitch-black underground, where you can't see your hand in front of your face, you have to rely entirely on your enhanced vision from your superpowers to search.

Feeling her way ashore along the rocks, Shi Xia dragged her legs as she climbed up; she was very cold.

She was certain she had a fever; it was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

My legs have been trapped for more than ten days and I can't move them for the time being, even if I have superpowers.

Her condition cannot be cured, it can only be improved.

If it weren't for her body being improved by her superpowers over a long period of time, and the little bit of protection she left for her legs, those legs would probably be ruined.

Now, she needs to be nourished slowly with her supernatural abilities, and she will recover, so Shi Xia isn't too worried.

Her supernatural abilities were activating, relieving the discomfort in her body; this was the only thing she could do.

After feeling a little better, Shi Xia, who had collapsed on the rock, got up and put one hand into the pool. Her supernatural power emanated from the water, luring fish to take the bait.

Soon, a fish bit her bloodless fingertip and was pulled up by Shi Xia.

"I'll eat you."

Eat raw.

There is no fire.

Shi Xia ate a fish, which gave her more energy.

As long as she can survive, she will do anything; this is what she has achieved in the apocalypse.

Shi Xia, the base manager of Sihai.

After eating three fish to regain her strength, Shi Xia sat up and, with her eyes adjusted to the darkness, was able to see her surroundings roughly.

A pool of water, with water gushing down from above—yes, right above.

She could clearly feel the drop when she was swept down.

So, how many meters underground is she currently?

I don't know about that, I'll see.

The pool was deep; she could feel how deep it was while she was inside. She planned to rest and gather her strength before going down to explore it.

Looking around, all you could see were rocks that were hard to identify; there was no sand or gravel to be seen anymore.

Shi Xia leaned closer to the rock for support, took a deep breath, and activated her powers once again.

Get well soon and find a way out; that's the plan for the future.

At the same time, Shi Xia had been missing for sixteen days.

Wen Chengan won the championship in the military skills competition of his garrison, but his sullen face showed no sign of happiness.

You came to someone else's turf to train, and you even came in first place, but you look down on them like that. Who are you trying to impress?
Wen Chengan was openly and legitimately harassed.

A martial arts contest!

Wheel battle!
Ever since Shi Xia disappeared, Wen Cheng'an has been holding a grudge, and he accepts all comers.

war!
He stubbornly fought off the other side with his bare fists, getting up whenever he fell, and gritting his teeth and getting up again when he couldn't get up.

"Holy crap, this kid's got a death wish."

"Alright, alright, that's enough!" "Stop hitting him."

The process of those around him going from clamoring to admiring him was short, but very real.

Being competitive, capable, and proud of one's strength are all qualities that work well here.

Wen Cheng'an, covered in injuries, stopped fighting and turned to leave.

Several of the people who had been beaten chased after them, completely forgetting about the provocation they had just made.

This is called a friendly exchange, how can it be called a provocation?

"Wen Cheng'an, you're so skilled, who taught you?"

"Where are you going? Let's go eat together!"

"You haven't tried our hand-grabbed rice yet, have you? It's so delicious. Don't just keep eating steamed buns all the time."

"Yeah, yeah, there's a performance for the public tonight, wanna go watch it together?"

A group of people were chattering around Wen Cheng'an, who continued walking, leaving only three words: "I'm training."

He just left like that.

"Seriously? They're still training in this condition!"

"I don't think I've ever seen him do anything else. He just eats two steamed buns, puts them in his pocket, and leaves."

"This training is insane."

Wen Cheng'an ignored everything behind him; only two words occupied his mind: training.

He's not strong enough.

Wen Cheng'an once again took two steamed buns to the training area. He ate the buns while half-squatting against the wall with the weight on him.

"Wife, when are you coming back?"

He firmly believed that Shi Xia would be alright.

Yamamoto Sei also firmly believed that Shi Xia would be alright.

After learning of Shi Xia's accident, Yamamoto Cheng threw himself into the experiment as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline.

He is truly a genius!
In mathematical calculations, he is unmatched.

Every day, Yamamoto Sei is like a sponge, diligently absorbing all unknown knowledge, and like a perpetual motion machine, tirelessly transforming this knowledge into action.

Zhongshu felt heartbroken seeing this.

He blamed himself, wondering if none of this would have happened if he hadn't brought Yamamoto Seiji along.

He didn't know Shi Xia's exact identity or what she did, but the base chief's pained yet persistent search explained everything.

Summer is really important.

At this moment, Shi Xia, who is on everyone's mind, begins to explore the pool.

After replenishing her energy, she jumped into the icy pool and let out a comfortable sigh.

Maybe she was a fish in her past life.

With a turn, Shi Xia flipped over and plunged downwards into the hole.

Underwater, Shi Xia wrapped herself in a water-filled space to ensure her wounds wouldn't get infected.

The pool was very deep. Shi Xia swam down more than thirty meters and finally reached the bottom, where she found a small hole in the rocks.

The pool water flows outward from here, and her supernatural power follows closely behind; she wants to know what the other side is like.

The cave entrance is narrow at first and then widens, reaching a maximum width of about half a meter. The water in the pool flows into a river after passing through a pipe formed by the rocks.

She didn't know exactly what kind of river it was, but the water had become murky, there were more fish, and many kinds of aquatic plants were present.

Shi Xia withdrew her powers and decided to go through the pipes to the river.

Shi Xia went upstream and brought back a few more fish, which she continued to eat.

Eat your fill, then set off again.

At the same time, the reckless Wen Cheng'an also went out; they were going to participate in swimming training.

The soldiers here, hearing that he was a navy soldier and an excellent swimmer, urged him to demonstrate for everyone and teach them his tricks.

Although they can swim, their skills are average.

This area is mostly desert with little water, but it does have a large river.
