The research institute that Qiong mentioned is on another island, seven days' journey from here. Although the Western Base not far from Li Ke is the closest place to the mining area, it is actually also a day and a half's journey from the Light Energy Mine.

After all, the light energy mine is a dangerous energy body. They have to guard it, mine it, but also stay away from it and be wary of it.

The base here is just an important defense transit station, and it is relatively close to the light energy mine. In any case, they don't want to start any war here.

When the white captain left, he said to Li Ke in dissatisfaction: "Can you return what we lost?"

Li Ke: "I didn't take your things. If you want to get them back, you should find the person who is still lurking in your base."

The white captain couldn't tell whether what Li Ke said was true or false, so he had to leave with Qiong.

After returning to his ship, he couldn't wait to ask Qiong: "How is it, did you sense the existence of the light energy mine?"

Joan took off the special sensing device she was wearing, played its sensing band again, and then shook her head in disappointment: "There is no fluctuation. There should be no light energy mines on her ship."

"Could it be because of the long distance? Or is there something wrong with the sensor?" asked the white captain.

Joan denied his guess: "We are already standing on her ship. The distance is very close. If there is a light energy mine on her ship, it will definitely be sensed. The sensor has been tested many times before I came here, and there will be no problem."

The white captain frowned and thought deeply, muttering to himself: "Could it really not be her? Is the thief really still in the base? Would she be so kind to tell us?"

Joan pulled the other person back to his original position: "She didn't tell us this out of kindness. She was warning us not to harm the hostages, or she would blow up our base."

The white captain coughed uncomfortably and said, "I know, but I forgot about it for a moment. I always feel that the woman is dishonest and her words make it hard to tell whether they are true or false."

Qiong agreed and continued, "Were our people also discovered and killed by her? Otherwise, why hasn't any news come through?"

The white captain said: "It is very likely that the people are gone. She also refused to let us enter the cabin just now, so we couldn't see what was going on inside."

Li Ke received news from the captain that Niu Dazhuang had already set off and would arrive at Li Ke's location in about five days.

Li Ke urged them to hurry up. On the third night, they dived into the water. After being more than 20 nautical miles away from the ship, they released a submarine and moved forward at full speed to meet up with Niu Dazhuang's team.

Niu Dazhuang's beard had grown again. Perhaps because he had been blown by the wind at sea for too long, he looked a lot older than before. When he saw Li Ke, he immediately showed his signature silly smile, but soon put it away bitterly.

The captain who came with Niu Dazhuang was already arranging people to transfer the light energy mines on Li Ke’s submarine to their ship.

Li Ke called Niu Dazhuang aside and said, "I will find a way to rescue Mo Baoer. Then you can go back to the inland safety zone together."

Niu Dazhuang said sullenly, "What about you? Are you really planning to stay away by yourself and never come back?"

Li Ke replied seriously: "I have other things to do. It is very likely that I won't be able to come back, but I may come back. It's hard to say."

In the past, Niu Dazhuang might have insisted on asking Li Ke to take him with him, but he didn't do that today because he knew Li Ke would not agree.

When they parted, Li Ke handed a brown paper bag to Niu Dazhuang and asked him to hand it over to the military. He also reported three locations to Niu Dazhuang and asked him to remember them.

"I have buried a batch of supplies and weapons in those three places. If the base encounters difficulties, go there and dig the things out."

Niu Dazhuang was a little sad: "You have raised us for so long in vain."

Li Ke smiled and said, "Who made me rich? This is probably the last thing I will leave for you."

Niu Dazhuang felt even sadder after hearing this: "You are so rich, I can run away with you."

Li Ke despised him: "I don't want to be a burden, please go, I have other things to do."

Niu Dazhuang was driven back to the boat they came from by Li Ke. Watching her submarine sink into the water again, he felt that after this separation, it might be difficult for them to meet again.

In the confinement room of the institute, Chen Jiaojiao sat with her mother and asked worriedly, "Mom, do you think Li Ke will really come to save us? If she doesn't come, will we really be sent to do various experiments?"

Li Zhenzhen ignored her. If Chen Jiaojiao and Chen Ziyue hadn't conspired to trick her out of Qingyuan Base, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Chen Jiaojiao looked pale and said weakly, "Mom, it has come to this, are you still angry with us? Who knows how long we can live?"

Li Zhenzhen still didn't speak to her. She was also very weak. Several young women in the confinement room, including her, had been given ovulation injections and had their eggs removed by the people here, so their conditions were not very good now.

There were seven people in the confinement room. Mo Baoer found a corner and sat alone, closing her eyes and not talking. Chen Zhizhi sat with He Ru, and her child Rui'er stayed on the island with Liu Jingyan.

Although Chen Jiaojiao and her aunt and father had cheated her mother Li Zhenzhen, she still chose to sit with her mother at this time. Chen Ziyue and Chen Niansheng were in a very bad state recently. They spent most of the day sleeping. They were old and really couldn't stand being tired. They were also very greedy and fell into the trap easily.

Chen Zhizhi half leaned in He Ru's arms. Seeing Chen Jiaojiao standing there with red eyes and looking aggrieved, she snorted coldly with disdain.

These days, she roughly understood how they were deceived. It seemed that Li Ke's biological father stopped supporting people other than Li Zhenzhen.

These people listened to the instigation of some outsiders and tricked Li Zhenzhen out, intending to use her to exchange a batch of supplies with Li Ke's biological father, and then go out to sea to live a free and prosperous life.

Little did they know that their ultimate target was them. After luring them out of the Qingyuan base, they quietly took them out of the safe zone and finally came here.

Chen Jiaojiao heard Chen Zhizhi's snort and retorted, "What are you humming about? Do you still want to fight?"

She was talking about Chen Zhizhi, but her eyes also swept over He Ru fiercely. It was obvious that she hated both women.

Chen Zhizhi called her an idiot and ignored her. Chen Jiaojiao was so angry that her stomach ached. The uncomfortable feeling came over her again. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She stopped arguing with Chen Zhizhi and just leaned her head on her mother's shoulder: "Mom, I'm in so much pain and discomfort. I feel like I won't live much longer. Li Ke won't come. She won't save us."

Li Zhenzhen still had her eyes half closed. Her pain was no less than Chen Jiaojiao's. She really regretted that she was not cruel enough and did not throw away these things earlier, resulting in her current situation.

Li Zhenzhen felt mixed emotions when she saw Mo Baoer huddled in the corner. If Li Ke came over, it would probably only be because of this person.
