Chapter 909 – Whereabouts
Ningchang County.
Next to the coastline.
Amidst the charred ruins of the fishing village, dozens of members of the Vigilant Logistics Department were wandering around with cameras and surveyors in hand, recording something carefully.
Outside the yellow caution tape, the four of them, Baili Fatty, Cao Yuan, Shen Qingzhu, and Jiang’er, were standing on the shore in silence, looking at the white waves that swept in from the sea horizon, silent.
”Why?” Baili Chubby’s eyes were filled with anxiety, “The exploration work is almost over, why haven’t we found Seven Nights and Sister Jia Lan yet?”
”Don’t be anxious.” Shen Qingzhu held a cigarette in his mouth and spoke calmly, “The Deep Sea Search and Rescue team is still looking down there, and should have results soon.”
”But they’ve already searched twice.”
”Then wait for them to look for a third time.”
Shen Qingzhu took a deep breath and continued, “We have no other choice but to wait now.”
Baili Chubby pursed up his lips, his eyes staring tightly at the surface of the sea, not saying a word.
Cao Yuan and Jiang Er stood by the side, their faces equally grave.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh-!
Several dark red figures flew out from the bottom of the sea, hovering in the sky for a moment before landing steadily in front of the four.
They were the Deep Sea Search and Rescue Team sent by the Vigilantes’ headquarters, the forbidden ruins of the entire team were related to water, and they possessed extremely high mobility and insight in the bottom of the deep sea, and they were a specialized team used to carry out deep sea missions.
”How’s it going?!” Baili Chubby asked anxiously when he saw them come out.
Several members of the search and rescue team looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
”We’ve searched all the waters around here, and we still haven’t found them ……”
Baili Chubby’s face paled with flesh.
He was about to open his mouth to say something when a jeep came speeding along the highway!
With the ear-piercing buzz of brakes, the jeep stopped by the coast, and a long-haired man clad in scientific research robes and wearing glasses stepped out of the vehicle and quickly walked towards here.
”Qingyu!”
At the sight of this figure, the eyes of everyone present lit up.
But soon, they realized that there was something not quite right about the An Qingyu standing here now.
Slender black hair, messy beard, unkempt face …… Compared to the once well-mannered An Qingyu, the current him was simply a savage.
”Qingyu, what are you …… doing here,” Jiang Er asked suspiciously.
”We’ll talk about this later.” An Qingyu’s gaze swept over the four people, seeing that they were all unharmed, the heart he had been gripping finally relaxed, but soon he frowned again.
”Where are Seven Nights and Jia Lan?”
”…… didn’t find them.” Cao Yuan bitterly opened his mouth, “The fishing village range has been searched all over, still haven’t found the two of them.”
The anxiety in Baili Chubby’s eyes was almost overflowing, he grabbed An Qingyu’s shoulder and couldn’t help but ask, “Qingyu, what should we do?”
The obliterating power of the Law of Time had first appeared from the sea, and they clearly remembered that Lin Qiye and Jia Lan had gone to the bottom of the sea……. Although no one had opened their mouths to mention this possibility, in the back of everyone’s minds, they had all flashed through that worst possible outcome.
They had been obliterated by the laws of time.
The four people other than An Qingyu all had unprecedentedly ugly expressions, and even the always calm Shen Qingzhu’s eyes flashed with worry.
An Qingyu’s gaze swept over them, and after a moment of silence, not only did she not panic, but a smile surfaced at the corner of her mouth.
”What are you guys worried about? Worried that they have been erased by time?” An Qingyu shook her head, “Actually, not finding them is instead a good thing.”
The four froze.
”Don’t forget, Seven Nights was with Caran, if the Laws of Time were really the first to obliterate them, with the [Immortality] on Caran, at least one of the two of them would have survived ……
And now, both of them were nowhere to be found, which meant that they had most likely encountered other accidents at the bottom of the sea and disappeared from here.
Although we don’t know where they went, the probability of them surviving is still high.”
After listening to An Qingyu’s analysis, the eyes of the others gradually brightened, the fire of hope rekindled in their eyes.
”So it’s like this.” Baili Chubby let out a long breath and patted his chest, “Scared little master to death …… Then what should we do next? Expand the range to find it?”
Everyone’s eyes looked at An Qingyu again.
Seeing that the crowd’s emotions had been calmed down, An Qingyu pondered for a moment, and a faint light flickered in her eyes.
”No, the efficiency of such a search is too slow, let’s go back to the headquarters and look for another person ……”
”Good! Go!”
Not waiting for An Qingyu to finish, Baili Chubby was the first to rush onto the jeep, quickly strapped himself in, then turned his head and waved at the other companions who were still frozen in place, “What are you waiting for? Get in the car!”
The others quickly came back to their senses and rushed onto the jeep.
They already had absolute faith in An Qingyu, the vice-captain, and since he said that there could be a way to find Lin Qiye back at the headquarters, there wouldn’t be any hesitation, as long as they did as they were told with the highest efficiency.
An Qingyu walked behind the crowd, smiled helplessly and bitterly, and followed the jeep as well.
Without Lin Qiye’s somersault clouds or dragons to ride, and Baili Chubby’s [Yaoguang] couldn’t carry so many people in one breath, they could only go to the nearest military base and take a plane back to Shangjing.
The good thing is that Jiang Er’s coffin can be directly put in the trunk, a jeep can just sit down the four of them, Baili fat fat driving, Cao Yuan sat in the passenger seat, Shen Qingzhu followed An Qingyu sat in the back seat.
The jeep sped away on the highway.
Duh-duh-duh-!
”Please come in.”
Lu Wuwei, dressed in a yellow uniform, opened the office door and walked over to Zuo Qing.
”What’s the matter with calling me in such a hurry?” Lu Wuwei asked suspiciously.
Zuo Qing stood up and spoke with a serious expression, “I want to ask you to find someone.”
Hearing these words, Lu Wuwei’s eyebrows raised, “Or is it Wang Mian? I’ve tried many times already …… My Forbidden Ruins can’t find him.”
”The reason you couldn’t find him before is because he doesn’t exist at this time.” Zuo Qing spoke seriously and explained, “Now that the closed loop of the fishing village has been broken, your Forbidden Ruin can already take effect.”
Lu Wuwei was stunned.
He pulled out an unfilled takeout ticket from his pocket, took out a pen from his desk, and quickly wrote down the word “Wang Mian” in the column of the name of the person who placed the order.
He pinched the ticket with his fingertips and perceived it for a moment.
”Indeed …… I can sense his approximate location now.” Lu Wuwei nodded, and immediately put on the helmet that was placed aside, and headed out of the office.
”Wait!” Zuo Qing called out to him.
”What’s wrong?”
”Look for Lin Qiye again.”
Lu Wuwei hesitated for a moment, took out the second ticket slip and wrote down Lin Qiye’s name as he had done, and after sensing it for a moment, he opened his eyes in surprise.
”Did you find it?” Zuo Qing asked worriedly.
”Found it.” Lu Wuwei nodded, “Both of them, in the same direction.”
