Huang Yifeng copied an extra copy of the thesis that Mr. Shen had corrected and handed it to Bai Yuan, and said, "The teacher approves of our current research direction, but because there are no raw materials that can be used for experiments, so... are you listening to me? ?”

Bai Yuan held a pencil and looked at the rows of test tubes in front of him in a daze. At this moment, he came back to his senses and said calmly: "I didn't listen too carefully. But Mr. Shen should mean that this paper is temporarily filed but not published?"

"Yes, more data support is needed." Seeing that the other party could still keep up with his thoughts, Huang Yifeng's dissatisfaction disappeared and turned into curiosity, "You have been distracted a lot these days, are you in any trouble? ? If there is anything I can do to help, I will be your half-brother now."

Bai Yuan shook his head, he didn't think Huang Yifeng could help solve the problems that bothered him recently.

In the end, Huang Yifeng had no choice but to give up searching for the reason for Bai Yuan's abnormality, and gave him a half-day leave so that he could go home early and rest.

"Most of the problems can be solved after a night of sleep, and the solutions can be figured out when the spirit has recovered." Brother Huang, who didn't know what was going on, sent such dry nonsense to Bai Yuan before parting.

In fact, Bai Yuan's troubled problem is very simple. Ten days have passed since Xi Jing's second letter, but he hasn't received any new letter for a long time.

Although I have known for a long time that the work of the explorers of the secret realm is irregular and extremely risky. After entering the secret realm, as the depth of the area increases, it is normal for contact to be interrupted, but when I think of the sudden palpitation when I was doing the experiment ten days ago , Bai Yuan faintly had a bad feeling.

He returned home with a rare worry, and as soon as he opened the door, he found that there was another guest at home besides Grandma Bai.

"Hello, we met once, do you still remember me?" The man in a suit and leather shoes, with a gentle appearance, nodded slightly to Bai Yuan as a greeting.

Bai Yuan didn't have much impression of the other person's appearance, but this voice made him feel a little familiar.He searched in his memory, and asked with some guesswork: "Have you been to my dormitory before? With Senior Brother Huang..."

"Zhang Wenhao, dear cousin."

"Hello." Bai Yuan greeted back, and saw a trace of anxiety in Zhang Wenhao's eyes.Obviously, this cousin of Xi Jing came to Bai Yuan's house suddenly without saying hello, the purpose was definitely not to introduce himself to Bai Yuan.

Grandma Bai interjected at this moment: "Xiao Yuan, Mr. Zhang has been waiting for you for a while. He said that he called the research institute earlier and told him that you are on vacation in the afternoon. What's wrong with you?"

"No, I'm fine. It's just that the project I was working on some time ago has come to an end. Brother Huang took the initiative to give me a vacation." Unlike Zhang Wenhao, who has a car, Bai Yuan needs to use public transportation to go home, so he comes and goes frequently. However, Zhang Wenhao, who set off later, arrived home before him. "Mr. Zhang..."

"What's your name, sir? You're already called Senior Brother Huang. You can just call me Brother Zhang. That's right, I need your help with something related to Xijing. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to leave, but since you just said that you The research project has come to an end..."

Grandma Bai saw that Zhang Wenhao was a little apprehensive about her own existence, so she thoughtfully returned to the bedroom.

After confirming that the door of the old man's room was closed, Zhang Wenhao held back his polite smile and said solemnly, "Xijing is missing."

Bai Yuan's eyelids twitched.

Ever since he learned of Zhang Wenhao's identity, he was mentally prepared for the bad news, but rational analysis could not completely control the changes in his emotions after all.

Bai Yuan asked calmly, "What's going on?"

"I don't know the details yet." Zhang Wenhao looked gloomy, "He disappeared during the exploration mission nine days ago, because his teammates put all their strength into the independent search, so Xiang Shuang was two days late. The headquarters of the Ridge Explorer Base informed the situation that there was a brain-damaged person at the headquarters who didn’t know that he was from the Sui family, and at first wanted to deal with it as if he had disappeared in the past, but then... that’s all, you know that these intrigues are useless.”

Nine days, counting the time, it was almost the day after he received the second letter that Sui Jing encountered an accident, no wonder there was no other news later.

The climate in Shuangling, even if you don’t enter the secret realm, most people can basically rest for two days in the unprotected outdoors, let alone in the secret realm?No matter how good a sentinel's physical fitness is, there is a limit...

Silently gathering his fingers to calm himself down, Bai Yuan asked, "What did you ask me to help you just now?"

"It's like this. There is an underground river under the crack where Xijing fell. The base guessed that he was washed somewhere by the underground river. The geographical search can be carried out by the sentries in the explorer team, but considering his Because of the experience these days, even if the person is still alive, he may not be conscious enough, so we need a guide he is familiar with to try to communicate with him through mental power." Zhang Wenhao explained the situation as simply as possible.

From the analysis of the other party's words, at least Zhang Wenhao believes that Sui Jing still has the possibility of surviving.

Bai Yuan said decisively: "I can go with you now, what do I need to bring?"

Seeing him so straightforward, Zhang Wenhao heaved a sigh of relief: "You don't need to bring anything, we have already prepared all the equipment you need, and the helicopter can leave just waiting for you to arrive. Tell your family whereabouts, Sui Siyu at the institute I also said hello, and it will not affect your internship evaluation."

Even with the security guarantee given by Zhang Wenhao, the secret realm is a secret realm after all, and there are always unknown risks.Therefore, Bai Yuan didn't tell grandma what he was going to do in detail, but only told her that there was a little trouble with Xi Jing.

Knowing that her grandson was going to help Xiao Sui, whom she got along well with, Grandma Bai immediately let him go.

More than an hour later, Bai Yuan, empty-handed, boarded the helicopter prepared by the Sui family together with Zhang Wenhao, and flew to Shuangling.During the flight, while confirming the current progress with the Shuangling Base, Zhang Wenhao had to communicate with Sui Siyu who was in the Songcheng Pagoda to mobilize all the family resources that could be mobilized. He was very busy.

After hanging up another phone call, Zhang Wenhao wiped his face tiredly and said, "There are so many sentinel guides missing every year in the secret realm, and some guys don't pay enough attention to it. This search lasted for nine days, and some high-level officials in the base think that they have done their best. I don’t want to continue wasting time and energy on ‘finding corpses’, so I have to use some means to put pressure on them.”

These are not what Bai Yuan cares about, he listens with his ears, while his eyes stare at the almost unchanged scenery outside the window.

Zhang Wenhao soon realized that the listener was absent-minded, so he closed his mouth.

The sun had already set when they arrived at the Frost Ridge Explorer Base, and the climate change was not suitable for going to the secret place.Moreover, for outsiders like Zhang Wenhao and Bai Yuan, the base had to give them some basic training, so it had to be delayed for another night, and it happened to set off for the secret realm tomorrow morning, with the team that originally entered the secret realm with Suijing. Rotation - counting the earlier exploration time, this team has been in the Frost Ridge Secret Realm for nearly 20 days, and it is on the verge of its limit.

When setting off early the next morning, Bai Yuan walked on the small road that Xie Jing had photographed for him, feeling unreal that the world is impermanent.

He never thought that he would truly experience the scenery that Sui Jing had experienced in this way.

This time I was in a hurry to save people, and the entire team was larger than the usual explorer team. In addition to the regular 12-member team that went to rotate, there were also mercenaries brought by Zhang Wenhao that belonged to the Sui family. Add up, the total number is 30 people.But compared to the mysterious and unpredictable secret realm, such manpower is still a drop in the bucket.It’s just that there are not many people who are qualified to enter the secret realm. People like Zhang Wenhao and Bai Yuan are brought in by taking advantage of their privileges. If you bring in more people who are not good enough, not only will they not be able to help you, but you may even miss a few more.

During the rotation at the first rest stop in the secret realm, Bai Yuan noticed that there was a young man who looked about his age in the team that was about to leave the secret realm. There was obvious anxiety on his face.

"His name is Chen Wei. He was there when Sui Jing went missing, and he almost fell off that crack in the ground. We can pinpoint the approximate search area because he led the way." The person in charge of the search and rescue communication at the base whispered to Bai Yuan and Zhang Wenhao introduced, "According to what he said, the two of them were attacked by a giant white orangutan that could release their spiritual bodies. When Sui Jing led the white orangutan away, he could release his spiritual body without guarding against the animal, so..."

Zhang Wenhao was dumbfounded.

When he heard that Chen Wei had something to do with Sui Jing's disappearance, seeing that the other party was still standing in front of him with his hands and feet intact, as Sui Jing's cousin, Zhang Wenhao had the idea of ​​asking the teacher for the crime.But when he heard the fact that "animals also have a spiritual body" beyond his common sense, he reluctantly forgave Chen Wei's subsequent inaction.Because if he encountered this kind of thing himself, he might not be able to make a correct judgment immediately. The other party can explain everything he knows without concealing it, and lead the way for others, which is considered conscientious.

The contact person said that this passage was also to let the rich man in front of him understand their difficulties.

"However, there is one thing that can be considered good news." A slightly stiff smile appeared on the tense face of the contact person, "Captain Ma told me just now that after a period of investigation, they have basically completed the investigation of that article. Estimated the range of the dark river, and drew a map. Next, we only need to search for the possible landing areas according to the direction of the dark river, and the chances of finding Jingjing will be much higher."

As for the risk that Xi Jing may have been eaten by other unknown creatures lurking inside when he fell into the dark river, the contact person wisely did not bring it up at this time—as a family with many sentinel guides, it is impossible for the Xi family to They didn't know about this situation, but they still mobilized a large number of people to find the whereabouts of Xi Jing, which meant that they would not accept the result that no one was alive but no dead body.

Zhang Wenhao felt a little headache looking at the hand-drawn map, while Bai Yuan reached out to take the map and began to study it quietly by himself.

Only then did the former realize that this young man brought to Frost Ridge by him was not only the only guide who had known Sui Jing well and had been with him for a long time, but also a god of learning with extremely high IQ.Perhaps, the other party can find clues that others missed?He suddenly had hope again.
